Can't Resize icons
 

not sure what's going wrong, tried the update and the full 1.8d versions of the .zip files and I get the same thing each time.

the popup box which should have a slider in it to change the icon size just shows up as a black box ... gone back to using the old eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey.xml file and it works fine apart from the red messages when I first login :)

only other problem is my setting for which is my default chat window doesn't stay set next time I login .. probably another SOE bug errr .. "feature" :D

Hi.. I am also having a problem with my exp meter similar to the above #1. First, the numbers do not appear as "Dotted". Looks more like solid numbers but here's my problem:

I can see the first 2 number (The big ones) fine except the far left side of the first number is cut off but still readable. The next number to the right (Smaller and up a bit) is cut off and not readable.

I took your advice Profit and turned off Font Smoothing and Small Fonts (Small sans Sarif font) under the Options/User Interface section.

This did not help. This is a fresh install and have never had it installed before.
I love this UI!! Excellent work !!. I run at 1280x1024 resolution.

Also how do i get my Experience debt to show up? Can't see it anywhere (But maybe i'm blind =))

Thanks and again very nice work!!

I try to download ure update 1.8d but ever get the version 1.8c!

Next is, i miss 2 features (seen it on your screenshots):

1. the stats on the "long" border at the bottom

2. the window for the "klick-items"

Please tell me how i can activate it!

1.8d is on the the first post of this thread.

Please read the notes! Those things are not in ProfitUI anymore - not needed since Update #16 .

Hi, I have a new problem. When ever I move windows around or create a second chat window, I am unable to enter any commands like /tell or /ooc at all in either chat window. If I hit the ENTER key nothing happens like If I type /AFK, I turn a bit to the left (I think) and my spell book appears..

Any thoughts please?

Thanks in advance..

Your chat window doesn't have the chat line enabled. Right click on the window then go to Window Properties, and then set the Frame to "Frame and Titlebar." This should fix your problem.

I am pretty sure I tried changing all those options to no avail. I will try again when I get home..

Thanks

The reason I say this, though, is because when you press A, that will make your character look to the left, and K will open your knowledge window. So...that makes sense.

However, if you've tried that all and it still doesn't work, but you can SEE the chat line, then something weird is going on and you'll have to give us more information.

So, try that when you get home. :)

Yea I never see the chat line. The cursor never starts blinking in the chat line.. basically I see no change when I hit ENTER..

I will mess with the chat window options again incase I missed it..

Appreciate the help..

Ok that fixed it.... ty so much :-) Now if I can just get that exp meter looking right lol..

Also, I just noticed that when I first log in I get some red text in the chat window that says:

"The Main Hud Hotkey_Clone_1 window is not compatable with the current client. Please upgrade or revert to the default UI.

There is a seperate exact line for the clone_1, 3, 5 and 7 windows. The UI seems to be working ok but haven't really played it awhole lot..

Anyway if someone can help figure out why my exp meter isn't appearing like it should I would really appreciate it and how to get my Exp Debt to display..

Thanks in advance :-) Love this UI!!

Regarding the experience meter issue, you probably didn't install the fonts correctly (or at all). Either keep the directory in tact when you copy over the files to your new UI folder, or install it directly into windows. To do so, go to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ and then go to File>Install Font... then follow the instructions, and provide the directory where the fonts are located to install them.

Now, about the hotkey issue, with the latest patch (or might have been LU16), there are now "file versions." My guess is Profit hasn't updated his hotkeys to reflect the changes of LU17, so if you delete them or download someone elses new ones, it shouldn't be an issue anymore.

After some playing around with other UIs, I have once again reverted to Profit's kick-butt UI. The beautiful graphics and functionality make this one a definite favorite among the crowd.

Anyway, I run in 1280x1024, and if people like me have trouble setting up UIs, then they might want to use a custom INI file. So, today I was messing around and came up with this setup. (See attached picture)

The way I set it up is...5 hotbars, 2 chat windows (with tabs), and bags across the top (all in letterbox). I modded my bags to make them stay open when ESCAPE is pushed because I like them open all the time. Also, the hotbars are the modded ones by Depechenode (Download Here), and are set up at 32pixel size. Then the graphic parts that are easier to see through are all outside th letterbox, but transparent and out of the way enough to not be annoying. I think I have a touch of OCD so I like to make everything perfect. I also use Jaxel's start button mod, so that's where your EQ2 start button will be - in the upper right corner.

If you guys want it, I have attached the INI file. Just change the name and server and you're good to go! You may have to move some windows around due to the fact that I add some of my own mods to the files Profit provides us with.

EDIT - WOO 100 posts!!

Hi.. I didn't install any fonts and not quite following you with your font install instructions.. Can u maybe give me some step by step instrucions being as specific as possible.. I'm kinda a noob at this stuff.

Am I supposed to install the fonts from the c:windows\fonts folder to the ui\profit18 folder?

Thanks in advance..

Ok just took a look at this...

When you download the latest version from this site, it will have a folder called UI in it. Inside that folder, there is a folder called Profit18 and fonts. If you copy the ENTIRE fonts folder and put it in your Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI folder, it should work.

I have attached an image that should show you how your directories should look. Have a glance at that and tell me if that helps you.

Or you could just copy both of the font files into "c:\windows\fonts" (edit for wherever your windows is installed) ... you'll see a progress bar flash up for a few seconds as the fonts are installed into windows and that should be it. Worked for me and it's quick and easy :D

Ok well the UI I downloaded and installed has no folders in it.. just files.. I downloaded the "d" version and it also has no other directories.. just files..

Where do I get the fonts to copy into the c:\program files\Sony\EverquestII\fonts folder?. Not sure if I even have a fonts folder under the eq2\ui directory.. I'm at work atm.. will check when I get home.

Maybe I downloaded an older version.. can you maybe link the correct .zip and I can try that.. I currently have the UI setup the way I like it most.. If you do link and i have to install a newer version, what file do I keep in my current install that will maintain the current window locations so I won't have to redo the whole thing all over?

Again, I really appreciate your help. I'm learning as I go.. :-)

Also, I got the exp debt straight.. so i'm gtg on that..

hmmm you make it sound like I need to install fonts (Where do I get them?) into the c:\windows\fonts folder when all along I though I needed to first figure out what fonts to copy and then to copy them to a fonts folder under the eq2 ui folder.

Kinda confused... but I am sure with all the help I am getting, I will get this straight eventually..

Thanks :-)

For my UI to work, all you need to do is unzip the entire file into your everqyest ii folder. This way all the required files will be in the correct place.

Sounds to me you took the update only version.

Ok then yea i didnt install it correctly.. I just made a "Profit18" folder under the ui folder and copied from the .zip into it then just copied the eq2.ini into the EQ2 folder and edited the <Servername_Charname_> file for me.

I will try it again the right way.. also, in order to keep the current window positions, what file can I save to make sure I dont have to go through all that again.. Is there a file that saves your current windows setting so I can just copy that back into the EQ2 directory after I re-install the UI?

Thanks again.. :-)

As the setup of my UI is quite complex and pixel perfect I would just stick to using my settings file.

But, the file you mentioned above is the file you are refering to.

Biggest problem most people new to Profit UI have is they do these steps....

1. Make folder in C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\UI\ and lable it Profit18
2. move the Profit18.zip to that location and unzip it
3. move the uisettings.ini to the main everquest II folder and rename it
4. move the eq2.ini to the main eq ii folder

only downside is now you have a Eq2.ini which is pointing to a UI which isn't there due to there is a extra set of folders....

when you upzip the .zip it puts a folder in your current folder called Profit18d then inside that folder is the uisettings and eq2.ini and another folder labled Profit18

the game uses the eq2.ini to look for a file in the ui directory called "eq2ui.xml"

so there directory looks like "C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\UI\Profit18\Profit18d\Profit18\eq2ui.xml"

when it should read "C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\UI\Profit18\eq2ui.xml"

Actually I did use yours as recommended.. I just move thigns around a bit. I will just copy that file back in the directory after I re-install it..

Thanks again.. :-)

Thats what I did.. I will re-install the "d" version and give it a go...

Thanks again!!

Where is 1.8D?
 

When I try to download, the only files I see on the download page is 1.8b and 1.5e. I am sure I am just over looking something, but could you help me out and point the dunderhead to the correct location of version 1.8d? :D
