4.2 update makes the fonts a tad smaller to avoid these cropping issues. If you're using a piece that hasn't been updated yet, download FetishExchange 4.2 and install the following files from that zip

_FetishStyles.xml
Font_Euro_Arial14T.xml
Font_Japan_Arial14T.xml
FontArial14.xml
FontArial14T.xml
FontZapf15.xml

First thanks for these awesome UIs, makes my virtual life so much easier :)

I was wondering if it would be possible to bind a keyboard key to Shrink/Restore map?

I always prefer keys to mouse clicks if I can :)

TIA

PS: maybe there is a generic way to bind keys to custom actions like the shrink button, but I can't seem to find how...

The only keys we can assign to any custom actions are ESC and ENTER, and those generally only work if the window is on top. Other windows that make use of those keys will intercept the input if on top.

It is possible to cludge up a macro and custom window combo that will allow you to activate stuff via-hotkey, but its prety involved. Basically here's what you do...

Create a custom window with an OnShow script that activates your widget.

Include in that script a line to automatically close the window (so you never actually see the window).

Now in-game, create a macro that opens that window, something like /show_window MainHud.ShrinkMap.

The Macro can be assigned to any hotkey. All it does is opens the custom window. The custom window script then activates your widget and hides itself ;)

I just wanted to let you know Zonx .... that your UI is FANTASTIC ... I think the folks on Steamfont must think Ive gone insane the last week .... *yes... I just discovered your UI last week ... and course the hubby had to install etc ... hes thrilled too btw* .. anyhow ... Ive been runnin round to my chat channels and guild etc .... tellin em how they HAVE to come get your UI .. lol ... and ... the ones that have listened .... are amazed and thrilled also :)

Long story short ....

Just wanted to thank you ... you've made the time I spend in my addiction sooo much better .... I am still finding little things that thrill me ...
ok ... so Im a dork .... but your UI sure has made a world of difference to my gaming .... and I wanted to say ...

Thank you !!!!! :D :nana:

Wynd ;)

Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if these files are not LU 10 compliant, but I get a graphical error when i unzip these files into my existing Fetish UI folder in which the splash screen, nay, all screens starting from splash to char select are shifted down and to theright, to the point where I cannot see the character selections. I was trying to make use of your collapsed and simplified health/power bars in these mods, but extracting these files into my folder pretty much breaks the UI. I may have pinpointed the primary source of the problem to be the fetish_bars.dds file, but I dunno how this file effects the graphics in such a way as to shift the entire screen.

Any thoughts?

I can honestly say that a DDS image file could in no way shift/break your problem with the character select screen. Thats like saying adding a new wallpaper to your desktop causes the screen resolution to change.

First of all, you want to make sure you start out with a clean Fetish directory. It isn't advised to simply extract over the top of your old files, but to start with a clean slate. to me, it sounds like the root size is smaller than the charscene size, which results in clipping. I would *suggest* that you make sure that the any sub's are the same size or smaller than the root itself.

Funny thing is I did start from scratch when I ran into the issues. I do realize that it wasnt the fetish_bars window, it must have been older versions of some other fetish pieces that overwrote the latest and correct versions. I didn't catch it at the time and to me all I was messing with was the fetish_bars file which to me made it seem to be the culprit. My UI is working and all now, I just need to find a happy medium with these dang fonts :(

I love your Exchange mod. the drop down presets are very nice. I do have 1 problem with it though.

The names of the sellers are so small as to be unreadable. is there anyway to increase the size of the font?

Liandra, after the font change I was forced to choose between optimizing for smooth fonts or unsmoothed. I chose to optimize for smooth fonts. As a result, the smaller fonts get very small when unsmoothed is used.

If you prefer running in unsmoothed mode, you'll need to bump up the font size of fonts provided with the piece.

I've read through most of this thread, but not all of it (although I did try searching within the thread)...my apologies if this question has already been answered.

I'm trying to use the "Zone It!" component, but it's not working for me...by 'not working,' I mean that when I approach a zone line, the "Destinations" window doesn't pop up. When I do double-click, though, the first option is already selected for me (as, I understand, it should be).

I'm using about a dozen other components (my list is here), and I haven't had any problems installing or running any of them until now. None of them use any of the files provided in the "Zone It!" zip.

Has anyone else had this problem? I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Please let me know if you need me to provide more information...

Thanks in advance!

You still need to have the coursor over the zone area/Mariner's Bell and press the "F" key to bring up the window.

I generall run around in 3rd person view with the coursor parked just over my toon's head. F key to harvest and zone, rarely use the mouse ;)

Ah, ok...you may want to include that somewhere in the readme and in the download description, 'cause I was under the impression the window would pop up automatically when I approached the zone line!

Thanks for clearing that up for me! ;)

Yes. Its wonderful ... Just wonder, is it possible open up Market, Store and Merchant windows at the same time while I am in my house? :nana:

Problem viewing SKills Window with this
 

Have been using this mod and love it, but the new skills window wont work. I uninstalled fetish and the skills window came up just fine, then reinstalled fetish hotbars and the skills window went black again.

anyone else have this problem ? what can I do to fix it ?
:(

randallaw, you can open Market and Store windows inside you're house normally (with a Market Board). Since there's no Merchant in your house, you can't open the Merchant window.

skills window bug
 

First off, i'm new to this whole modding scene, but i love the little fetishclock/compass v4.0. I've been using it for a few months now. Quite recently SOE decided they wanted to re-do the skills window to make it more organized. Unfortunatly for me, now i can no longer see any of my skill stats, it's just black. I unistalled all my mods and re-installed them one at a time to find the problem. Apparently it fell on this little thing. I have 2 other mods, it's the SimpliXP fond herehttp://www.eq2interface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=3555 and the eq2 map mod.

I like this calandar and compass thing, it's great, but it's jacking my window up. Any ideas anyone?

bobglaub, please at least make some effort to look for similar posts and answers. The 2 posts immediatly befor yours cover the exact same issue.

I followed these instructions but my skill window is still black. I saw another post somewhere that suggested deleting eq2ui.xml. That makes the skills window work, but of course FetishExchange stops working. Any ideas?

same here . :(

My bad, forgot SOE added new includes to eq2ui.xml.

Copy the default eq2ui.xml into your custom UI directory.
Open it in Notepad and insert the following line berfor the first existing include:

<include>_FetishStyles.xml</include>

I love your FeitshPersona mod. I've been using it for the past few weeks. I've made alts and have had no problems with it loading up whatsoever. However, today when I made my first character on the Antonia Bayle server, the persona bar wouldnt load up. I double checked all the commands to be sure everything else was working properly. I even switched back to my characters on my other server to be sure that the persona bar was still up. It was. I'm stumped. I asked my friends on Antonia Bayle who were using default persona windows and they had no problems at all with it. Think you can help? :(

Did you try Alt + P to open the window? It's closed by default on new toons.

Found it!

Yes, I tried ALT+P and P and still couldnt find it. That was till I unlocked all the windows then moved each one to the center of the screen. That's when I found it. After I had moved the Quest Helper window from the top right of the screen, I saw a little corner sticking out. It was the Persona bar! T_T I was so relieved, and frankly felt kind of silly about it. :o

So theres a little lesson for any possible missing mods for certain characters. Unlock windows, check window commands, and move things around a bit. I guess its the virtual version of looking under the couch for keys or summin. :D;

I tried out the market windows et all from your download, and I like the ability to have presets, but if I use your windows then the skills window is messed up. Shows only black boxes for the bars.

Is their a way around this?

Is there anyway to get back the original default fonts? Awesome mod, btw.
Exactly what i was looking for! :D

Font and Skill Issues With Fetish Pieces
 

As noted previously in this thread...

some of the foundation files included with various pieces are out of date. Download a copy of FetishClassic and install the following files from that ZIP:
_FetishStyles.xml
Font_Euro_Arial14T.xml
Font_Japan_Arial14T.xml
FontArial14.xml
FontArial14T.xml

Copy the default eq2ui.xml into your custom UI directory.
Open it in Notepad and insert the following line berfor the first existing include:

<include>_FetishStyles.xml</include>

Should resolve font and skill window display issues.

Note: Font sizes were tuned for the "Smooth Fonts" setting. Unsmoothed setting may produce poor text display.

By 'default fonts', i mean the default, plain, fonts that were used in EQ2 before the new "smooth" fonts and all. Is it possible to get these back?

I tried the ones mentioned in your above post and they arent the old default fonts..


*EDIT* I got all the fonts back to the original default except the font under "Seller Name & Location"

Is it possible to edit the font sizes? The font size in the examine window is a little small.

Is it just me or does FetishExchange not work with LU12, IE: game crashes on loading?

Only problem I am having with anything in the Fetish Nightfall with Revert classic skin overlayed, is that my Target box and Implied Target box are really small now and I cant make em bigger.



M

I am having the same problem with Fetish Exchange...

How dare SoE screw up Fetish's mod! That is barely one step short of treason! :)

Fetish Targets and Implied Targets Sizing
 

Since LU12, the target and implied target windows shrink to their minimum width each time I log into the game (after camping, whatever). They stayed perfectly stretched before LU12. Did something change that made this happen?

I'll likely try to mod the files to set a minimum size equal to my preferred size, but I thought I would mention it here. I'm using Fetish Target, Implied Target, Player (stretched out, and stays stretched with LU12) and Group.

They are wonderful, hopefully the strange size problem will be fixed.

Thanks!

RE FetishExchange MAKE THESE CHANGES.

Target window resizing is a bug introduced by SOE in LU12. I hope to have a version out soon with a wider default size, but there appears to be no way around this bug without also disabeling the auto-hide/show functionality.

Am I doing something wrong here? I have another UI installed, it's not terribly complicated. OCD if you must know. Anyway, I try to put in this better inventory thing, but it looks awful, a nasty yellow background, and other bizzare colors.

Added the include for _FetishStyles.xml in my eq2ui.xml. Then I tried letting it replace anything it wants to replace. Nothing helped. Any idea what to do, other than just don't use Fetish components?

Cheetah, sounds like the images aren't making it into your custom ui/images directory. Also make sure you grab the fonts from the FetishClassic download as indicated in my previous post.

Targets V2.5
 

OK, so maybe I'm the only person in the world still using V2.5 of your target window... but I thoroughly enjoy it. Anyways, I've noticed the HP %ages don't change color like normal... at 49% it becomes a dark green, and then at 24% it becomes a black blob of unreadableness... I noticed the power % just stays bright green the entire time. First off, I was wondering if there's any way to fix the problem; and secondly I was hoping you might enlighten me on a way to introduce yellow, orange, and red into the mix. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I've noticed several target windows tend to resort to the "black blob of unreadableness"...maybe it was posted somewhere why this is, and I just missed it?

Is anyone else crashing with fetishexchange even after updating the files with the ones specifed from fetishclassic? Or is it just me? :>

Targets 2.5
 

Hey Zonx been a while since i had to turn to ya for something hehe umm just wanted to say i love 2.5 have no real wish to change from it but i have knowticed SoE kinda broke something a couple patches ago which prevent my 2 target windows to stay at my set resized size every time i relog they go back to maxed width... donno if u can easily fix this issue or even want to... hehe umm if its something super simple and can explain how i'd gladly try and mod it myself to fix the problem :c)

thx again,
Geniva of Antonia Bayle (lvl48 Assassin 2nd in Command of Shattered Destiny)

The target window resize bug can't be fixed without also disabeling the auto-hide feature. Also I'm not really supporting the old target windows. You might wanna try TargetsTurbo.

First of.. This is a masterpiece....

I use 99 % of your ui ( use mooks chatwindows for the 4 way function - Individual hide all. hide chat bar- hid scroll - show all ) And I have never before found a single compleate ui i fell in love with like i did yours on the first attempt to get it set up (eq, eq2, ect.. ) I always have been a Mix and Matcher.. you have shown me the light.. OK all the buttering up out of the way.

Is ther any way to add the functionalitly of 2 items that ProfitUI has intreduced. The 2 items I am looking forward to trying are the Character/Usagealarm - For the mana stone alert.
http://www.magneticgauge.com/Antony/.../manastone.jpg

And add your own effect icons to the player window like ther group window has. ( Trauna , Arcane , Naxiuos, Elemental )

I know the later of the 2 had been asked for before, but at the time SOE didn't send the data that was needed, so it was out of the question.

PS... Hopefully SOE will stop making patches that break Awesome UI's :D

Tradeskills Buff Buttons
 

I like the look of the Trade skill window UI. Thanks for all your hard work. I especially downloaded your version 4.4 because I wanted the buff buttons to automatically show up at the bottom of the create window. No separate hotbar needed. My problem is I don't see the buff buttons at the bottom of the create window unless i click on the ones I have in a seperate hotbar (screenshot included). Is there code that i need to check/modify? Read thru all of the posts and can't seem to find anything specific on this problem.
I use several different pieces from this site and all work great. Thanks for the help in advance :nana:
