All labels are using the same Label code, so if it's not working it's due to SOE, cause the label code is filled by SOE.

iwas hoping you could do something with heroic opp. window not the hotbar

awesome ui
 

WOOOWEEE yo UI shor is perdi... I mean purdy... i mean... nevermind.

I like the stone skin very much, but i notice that in my main chat when I type a line it is sometimes hard to see what I have typed. The white marbleing of the BG sometimes mixes with the letters and makes it somewhat difficult to see. Not impossible and certainly not a deal breaker for using it. Just wondering if it was something with my setup...

1 question...
When I try to remove letterbox, I uncheck the trim button just fine, but when i tried to slide the letterbox itself down to minimum, it drags my 2 top hotbars down messing up their position, any ideas how to prevent this?

perdi you da shiz, and after reading every post here and in the comments section of downloads, I can help but notice and comment on how patient a person you must be for putting up with all our crap... kudo's to you...

Hello Longspoon :)

The hotbar position is linked to the letterbox size (SOE)

There is two possibility to fix it:

First you can move the hotbar manually after resizing the letter box :p

1) right click on it
2) selcet windows settings
3) uncheck the lock button
4) move the hotbar
5) check the lock button
6) apply

or if you don't want to bother with that and do not have make too much ui configuration after putting it in place (not to do it again):

1) Log in and resize your letterbox.
2) log off
3) replace the server_character_eq2.ini file by the one I provided.
4) log in

That's it :)

I agree with your UI, it rocks, however...

going along with what someone just said concerning the typing area of the chat boxes... the marble texture really makes it difficult to see, how can I move the typing portion up into the black area.

Also
 

Besides my last post i have come across these issues.

1.) Still crashing between chars, wasn't at first now i am again.
2.) Targeting/Implied text is messed up (see image) :eek:
3.) Buff window doesn't wrap
4.) On Alt chat still logs in invis, i have to hit enter to bring it up (also started happening when crashing started)

When I was having problems with chat not saving settings from last session, I just deleted the character ini, the latest changes ini and redid it all. Yes its a pain in the arse but its not *that* much trouble and its given me a stable setup.

Perdi, are you also working on smaller components? Like smaller group box, smaller target etc? :D

Tyaes done his own updates too recently, you gonna incorporate them?

Amazing Ui
 

heya PERD your ui is amazing.. jsut have a question or 2 if mind.. that tope spell effects bar keeps the blaxk outs on the edges.. is thta something i cna get rid of buy a setting ro is it a bug? also the new ui looks great but i actually refer the textrue and color of the other one.. any wya youd be willing to reskin this one v6 style?

Perd, beautiful work on this UI - nice in 1600x1200 too - one question I'm having probs with the graphics at the top as you can see by my pic here...any ideas?

I've tried playing with the opacity, etc but nothing seems to help.

Thanks

IN the options menu, there is a checkbox for hiding frames in letterbox. I think under interface.

A

Love the UI...
 

I dont like the Marble look though... Could you point me to the area where i can make it a solid black with no marble look? Then this would be the perfect UI for my needs as well as it seems that many people have the same issue with the marblization of this rendition

Thanks in advance

Istoff

Thanks Arc - that did it! :) :nana:

I wonder if just swaping the images from 6 would work? Assuming there have been no file names changes.

Hotkey and spell bar.
 

I don't think this is a skin issue, but has anyone else ran into problems with setting the primary, secondary, and tertial bars when you have more than 3 displayed? The problem is realy noticable when the labels were active, and something you would have 2 bars labeled as secondary.

Has anyone else mentioned the run off on the active spell bar when you have more buffs than there is room for?

still working great
 

I love this ui... runs like a top...

Couple of nonissues...
I miss the old fonts, is there an easy non- "perdi has to do anything" fix to bring back the old fonts? I noticed the default fonts were tga's but we just have arial.ttf...

I downloaded the Gimp but cant get it to open dds's. I tried to find a dds plugin but am unlucky in either find a working one or getting the one i found plugged in so to speak... If I cant get this to work, is there any progress being made by anyone on some new skins... I noticed a few more posts mentioning the desire to switch from the marble look for whatever reason...

Anyway...
keep on rocking perdition...

Start off by saying I love this UI and all my characters are using it in EQ2 now.

One issue that is bugging me and I dont know if I have a setting wrong since I have only seen one other person mention this issue:

Whenever the Implied target window is up in my UI, the main target bar text colors go wacky... the target name, level etc all go into unusual (and hard to read) colors and the only way to see HP % from 20% to 0% is to mouse over the target name in window and read it off the popup box for the target. Why? Because on my screen the % number disappears near 20% on HP health for my target.

I know it is a problem with the implied target window addition above the main target window since this only happens when that window is up. Anything that I can do to fix this or is anyone else seeing this as well?

Suggestions would be appreciated.. I noticed this in V6 and it is still here in V7 now... I have deleted and reinstalled the UI several times and the problem persists. I would like to eliminate that implied target window altogether to eliminate the problem but I did not see any option in install to disable it.

In todays patch exaiming and item will cause game to crash now =(

Not having the examine items problem here. I can examine just fine with no crashing. However... My maintained spells window is gone now. Instead of being inside the window with my name at the bottom, it is just plain gone. Any ideas?

cannot enter text into pop up windows such as Broker window search box, bug reports and the new Mail window is not working as it does in default UI. Thinking a patch to this UI may be needed due to the changes put in today.

Same happening to me :mad:

Trouble...
 

Hmmm, the latest patch seems to have caused some major trouble to the mod... the whole AC philosophy has changed and now the AC shows up as 10000... and the maintained spells window is empty... and stays empty... just thought I'd let you know...

Plus major crash bug on examing window on mods missing a field or something.

AC is now called Mitigation but not being a UI programmer, not sure what that means to custom UIs. I am using (sadly) the default UI until perdition can post an update for the changes... give him time since it looks like a major rework may be needed. New Mailbox window, new fields in the item descriptions, new way to compute AC/Mitigation/Defense, etc

I was home at lunch, servers came up just as I got home.... so I tried to add the new fields and take out the old AC one... I apparently didn't notice the massive changes to all the other UI files... such as includes and whatnot... crashed on startup, so I too am using default until he fixes it all... not worth the headache of trying to do it myself. Though, I actually use all 4 rows of hotkeys, so going back to default is going to be painful!! heh ;)

We're gonna be patient Perdition, but ... not TOO patient! ;) jk :nana:

A ... tried the images
 

but it didnt work... it kills the ui all together... Hope Perdition can fix all the new issues as well as go back to V6 color . Perdition this UI is soo close to being the perfect UI. Waiting your arival of next Version

Istoff

I have been making my own mods to this UI for about a week now, just take out the "eq2ui_examine.xml" if that exists in your bottomV7 folder and remove "eq2ui_mainhud_maintained.xml" if that is in there also... That should get you back up and running with this mod to an extent, but your maintained in the player window will not work and your con colors will be wrong.........

This may get some of you up and running again but then again maybe not, as I have a lot of files in mine that you may or may not have... this is just a surgestion for a temp fix... It worked with my version of it... so dont flame me if it dont work for you lol :p

hmm
 

personally i like the new graphics. I mean its Perds graphics now. Instead of using Tjs. But it would be cool to have multiple options.

Dont know if this is still a problem but I'm using 5v5 and and the new mail window is black; as well as the tracking window lacks the buttons to select con levels.

HEllo All :)

Due to some personnal life events I'm not able to play EQ2 for now, and maybe definitly.
Anyway, I will try to make a final release before leaving.

/sub
/cry
/comfort

Hope everthing solves it self Perd

You will be missed!

re: crashing
 

well i have had no problems since the patch with a few exceptions .. like the 10k ac to bad its to real lol but thats becasue a change soe amde.. also yes the maintained window is gone but you can alwys turn the other one on for now.. have not yet ben to toen to check out the mail system .. but i have no problem examining anything or anyother problem lsited.. i ahve not changed or fixxed anything the only dif is i use a resolution not mentioned because its the only one i ahve that this ui seems to fit on

Sorry to here that Perd I just found this UI and love it greatly.

On to the bug report for you or anyone who can possibly fix it.

1. Black window while accessing the mail box. (Fixed by adding in the appropriate includes in the mainhud)
2. Inability to type in names in the house window. This happens while trying to add people to my friend/trustee list or while trying to visit another house. You physically cannot click into the window that allows typing names.
3. Maintained spells window. Personally I'm not too concerned about that I never had it running when I was using the default UI.

Those are the only issues I could see since the Big Patch 5 (TM)

Feluke
38 Ranger
34 Carpenter
Unrest Server
Predatory Instinct

Need help as well
 

I am having same issues. But Could please tell me how to go about the fix you describe? "Adding the appropriate includes in the mainhud" Thanx I am not sure how to do that.

Cielo

Not a problem. This is from the front page news heading on how to fix the mail box issue.

:)

I'm sad to see you go Perdition. This UI is probably the best I've come across. I love it. The new patch did introduce a couple bugs that I've found that could use some fixing if you have the time (*crosses fingers* ^_^ ):

1. Housing bug. You cannot type in names when trying to enter someone's house. You physically cannot click on the field to type someone's name.

2. AC is listed as being 10,000 on the main hud. Believe it's working fine in the persona window.

It's a fantastic mod man. Really great peice of work. Thank you (thats whether or not you have the time to fix the recent bugs btw!)

Also, on the merchant board, I cannot place the cursor into the search field to type.

Not sure if this is a bug, but I figure it couldnt hurt to ask.

Rician

Sorry Perd
 

I don't post much, but i do read the forums. I am very sorry to see you go Perd, you have inspiried me to costumize my UI for any game I have played for the first time ever. And so see you go isnt cool. I do hope the stuff going on will sort itself out so you can continue to play, and of course, continue come out with upgrades to your awsome UI, but even if u cant and I go back to the old one, its cool, had a blast using it while it lasted. But truly man, I hope everything turns out ok. Be Safe.

I think most of these things are not his UI's fault but other mods. Like FetishInventory broke many things...

Hello All :)

I have just uploaded the last version V8 that contains all the lastest patch fix plus the input chat inclusion in the darker area.

D'ont forget to remove ENTIRELY your old floder before installing the new one.If you have any problem, please be sure to test it without any other Module.

I will be pleased if someone can continue this UI after me.

Have a lot of fun playing EQ2 and take care of yourself all ;)

Cee ya :)

I have been doing quite a lot of stuff with this UI of yours, And have learnt a lot from it also... The result is a small collection of mods / addons for it, And once I put them up for download if they prove to be popular, It will look like I will need to keep the UI updated for them to work lol so yes it will live on ;) , As a note this is the UI that I personaly use the most...

Sad to see you go, You take care and I hope stuff works out for you :)
