Oks thanks for sending that..

Got a group, effects and player window for you to have a look at...

Going to start a new thread in the beta section for this I thinks.

:D

Aye that would be a good idea hehe.

Ok dropped them files into my ui folder, and it looks great!

I would say that aiming for a height along the entire bottom to the same as the 2 hotbars on the right would make this perfect.

I think you can lose some pixels on the target box?

I love the spell being casted name appearing in that area, good work with that!

Regarding the effects window, yes the look is great, if you pull it to the full extent, its fine, if you shorten it, you lose the box end on the right end. Its only superficial but means you gotta have it long to make it look right. Im not sure, but, maybe a vertical version would be better? Could just put it down the left edge of the screen then.

Not had long to look at this today sadly, got friends over for the day and night for a bbq! Luckily they are EQ2 players so understand a bit hehe.

Am attaching my char ini and a screeny again so you can see what I did.

Oks thanks for testing...

Me not quite happy with the placement of the casting names etc... going to change the font its fine on 1 line but 2 lines it go's into the frame a little... not good

The effects yes that was a bit hit and miss... need to put a lot more work into that than I thought, But onto it :)

look out for new thread tomorrow and update files will be there..

And hey 50% of the work is testing / feedback... So nice work bud :)

Heh my pleasure, I may suck at the doing a UI bit, but am more than happy to do what else I can, especially seeing as it benefits me! :nana:

If you wanna send me a tell on oasis, Ill be on as Hoggy, Ill be more than happy to log out and test :D

Ill keep me eye open on the beta forum.

ive seemed to find a nasty bug im gonna try to explain it best i can
when i open my inventory and try to drag something into the hot bar inventory it crashes the game like say i go into the bank and i dont have my inventory open and i just want to drag a item over to my hotbar inventory uptop the one with the stats it crashes even if i try to drop it in the bag the whole game crashes just thought you would like to know so you can update :) also do you think it be possable for a 1024x768 version cuz my screen cant handle the big rez only got a 15in monitar thx in advance

I know about that bug... I am surprised its taken so long for sombody to find it lol

I have looked into this quite a few times and to be honest I do not know how to fix it lol.. You can drag stuff out of there just fine attune stuff from there etc but not able to drop stuff in without a crash.

To run at 1024x768 on a 15in moniter you will most likely have to size the top right and bottom left chat boxes down then it should all fit in, My son runs it at that rez on his system just fine.

Hi, I noticed a problem with the quest journal. I deleted all the xml files with the word journal and it deleted the stat information where the quest helper goes. Is there a better fix than deleting eq2ui_journals.xml, eq2ui_journals_active.xml and eq2ui_journals_quest.xml.
Thanks in Advance

you only needed to delete eq2ui_journals_quest.xml, as they only change was the addition of the collections tab

For now just do what DC said in the last post guys I have an update for it but is untested as yet will get round to that later one..

And please no more pm's about this quest window being broken guy's!!

I'm on it

I have an odd problem I didn't see anyone else listing on this thread...

I essentially imitating the 1600x1200 layout from the screenshot, but I cannot get the upper right chat window to stay. Every time I log out and come back it disappears. I can add taps, add channels to it, and resize it while I'm in-game, but every time I come back it's gone.

Any thoughts

the bug with chat windows happens to all chat windows (default and custom) there is like a million page thread on the official SOE EQ2 ui forum. its is a rather unusual bug and people have all kinds of things to try that might work.

Thanks for pointing me to the thread. :) It was long, as you said, but with little info of consequence.

I was using Tablets II until Talyns retired and then I figured I'd better switch to UI that's being actively maintained. I never had the chat window saving problem with Tablets II, and I was fortunate enough to have backed up my UI settings file before switching to TyeJae.

When I copied my old Tablets UI settings file back over much to my surprise, the chat window stuck. :) Whatever the problem is, it is definitely in the UI settings file that causes that bug.

Never had that problem before with this version of the UI... A long time back using the default UI this was a problem yes,

I have found that by a chain of events that are almost impossible to duplicate as they vary so much, You can actualy croupt your chars settings file and cause strange annoying stuff like that to happen.... And the only solution is to either replace it or delete it and make a new one.

Anyways pleased you found a solution to the problem :)

can u set esc to close inventory windows?

ty for the great work.
your UI is really amazing hehehe
:nana:

House Vault
 

Is there a way to make a button that opens up one's room vault without having to click the door? Thanks and I hope its not there already and I just overlooked it =D

Heya, I was lucky in that this was like the second UI I found and tried. I loved it from the second I got it fired up until the second it CRASHED :(

Seems the dragging items onto the mini bag slots still causes crashes to the UI, any idea on when if you'll get around to fixing this? I read in an earlier release that you had a similar problem even then but must not have gotten around to repairing. Thanks for the UI, really do like it a ton more than anything I've seen!

This is a known bug, and I believe it's listed in the download notes.

Have looked into this a few times and cant seem to find a fix for it you can interact with stuff in those slots np just they wont accept drag and drop into them you can move stuff out but not in :(

realize it's a known bug, wasn't pointing out the fact that it exsisted. More asking if it was fixable by him or not. Thanks for the answer, will just have to get used to it :)

Thanks for the hard work on this Laff :)

I used Perdition Bottom for a long time and I like the way you have taken on this project. Keep up the good work :nana:

-Beldak

Thanks for that :)

big screen resolutions.
 

Laffs, or anyone that knows.

I have a friend that runs at 800 by 600 resolution, is there anyone with a settings ini for that resolution that gives the ui justice as this is one of THE hottest ui's i've ever seen! hehe i'd love to know.. thanks much!

Krylosis

You would probably loose the chat windows at that res... and would have to put them somplace else and make them transparent I guess..

ahh durn.
 

well i guess i'll have to deal with it. hehe i use 1600 by 1200 myself. but a friend of mine likes it... how about your laffs lite? would that use 800 by 600? =) hehe anyways thanks much... though on the most recent UI of this one i get two rows with stats. well as og 6/25 or so. has there been anyone else seeing that? has it been fixed?

Krylosis.

Laffs Lite would be better for that rez likes but would still need to crop the chat windows to some extent...

As for the 2 rows of stats Im not sure exactly what you mean... could you post a SS of that please?

:)

here is a ss.. i'll try to get it.
 

basically the stats under the pet window are coppied just above it in the target window. I cut it down to just that window... hope this helps. now is ther a patch for the full version (not laffs lite) for today's download? hehehe i keep getting crashes after todays patch. well that's wierd.. i got in on another char hmmm wierd. but the stats double would be nice to fix hehehe.

Krylosis.

resize the window down and change the view to none as far as i can recall in the window options for that window... That will sort it

Argh!
 

ok i'll try that, but i'm having a bit of a time with loging into the us servers... they keep crashing.... had no problems on the european servers.... any ideas anyone?

Krylosis

edit: i got the new one but there are problems with it. laffs you might want to look into this one, it's not working 100 percent like it should i'm missing a window using the alt pet window... =)

What window is missing likes?

missing window is:
 

the pet window when you use the lower rightcorner comand location. perhaps it's just not showing up on my pally.. dunno but it's missing and all i did was get the newest version of your ui.. (which btw I LOVE)

Krylosis.

Oks I will have a look at that pet window as I had to make a toon with a pet to test this shhh..... erm.... I mean test this "stuff" out lol

chat window problems
 

I just updated my ui today, and both my chat windows and my guild window are outlined in bright white, and the background color of my chat windows is a light gray (hard to read some things with this background). Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hello, Laffs... Like several others have commented here and on the download section also, I am having the same issue with the chat windows not matching therest of UI... I have tried reskinning the UI using the extra background colors and the chat windows and drag select boxes are all white/gray. Here is what I have now:

I too am having this problem and done all I know to fix it, maybe Laff can get a fix to us today heh =/

Sorry I made updates to those windows in the Laffs Lite UI and put them in with this UI as well forgetting that the skin name was different lol.... easy to fix will do it now...

;)

grey & white windows
 

Hi,

I just started using the Laff's Alt Peridition bottom TyeJae UI and i love it, but i think i may have done somethign wrong. Three different windows (text boxes, guild and emotes/socials arent the right color. They are showing at this pay grey with white borders, makes it very hard to read. Any idea on how to fix this?

:)

LMAO.... the last 4 posts prior to yours are about that very same problem :rolleyes:

Hello once again, Laffs...

Downloaded the latest update dated today which had your proposed fixes to the chat window problems but I still have the exact same issue with grey chat windows and white popups.

I wont include a screenshot since the view is same except for no custom background color . I stuck to your stock download colors so as not to possibly corrupt what you are uploading for use.

I made sure to delete my old version first so I was not overwriting but installing fresh. I used the optional folder files, but from looking at the file names, cant think they would cause the symptoms I am having.

I did retain my old neriak_kobara_eq2uisettings file since I did not wish to redo my chat options etc, which is a pain. To confirm it was not causing my issue I moved it temporarily and used the one you provide and same result so that file is not affecting anything with colors of windows.

Any ideas? Thankd again for the excellent support you give us users. Many authors would not be as diligent in responding to issues as you have been and I, for one,appreciate that.

<Image Location="25,23" Name="holefill" PackLocation="left,top" PackLocationProp="0025/0001,0023/0001" PackSize="absolute,absolute" PackSizeProp="0037/0001,0043/0001" ScrollExtent="319,167" Size="319,167" SourceRect="29,853,353,999" SourceResource="images/laffsskin.dds" />

Just a question, Laffs ... you make reference to the filename I have in BOLD above (taken from eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml file in todays update) yet I cannot find that file in /images folder. Is this intentional and could the omision be causing my problem?

Also, found this in the eq2ui_mainhus_socials.xml which is also affected by my problem :
<Image Name="Background" PackSize="fixed,fixed" PackSizeProp="0002/0003,0002/0003" ScrollExtent="758,197" Size="758,197" SourceRect="543,355,785,461" SourceResource="images/laffsskin.dds"

Starting to think this file missing may have something to do with my problem since it appears in the .xml of each window I am having problems with.

Ok, I guess that is the problem... I simply made a copy of perdigraghics.dds, temporarily placed in another folder... renamed it to laffsskin.dds and repasted it in /images folder so it resides with perdigraphics.dds. It works now :).
