/tap!

Had a thought btw, this might have already been done but Im too lazy to look :D

The hotbars, I find it hugely annoying having to click to undisplay titles, like alt and ctrl everytime I move a spell or ding. The only other ones Ive seen have nothing on at all, ie no numbers too. Is it possible to get one with JUST numbers on?? Gowaaaan!

Laffs 02-07-2006 12:37 PM

Just numbers not possible unless you was able to set them all as say the primary hotbar ... So its either no numbers and stuff or numbers and stuff lol....

If you want one with none numbers aka labels then I can sharp do that for you np's and dump it in your little folder in the download...

As for the rest of the UI ie bits missing from windows and stuff like persona and examine and the search on the recipes window and such like, Some windows have been removed and use default now and others have been adjusted to suit....

Other little things are cropping up as I play and soon as I have caught them all I will bang the update out as nothing since LUD19 is breaking this UI so I dont see a real hurry atm ...... Next few days guys ;)

Madhog 02-08-2006 06:29 AM

Rats, I wanted just numbers :( Ok then, lob me in a clean hotbar to me folder ta!

Yeah agreed, stuffs working ok, nothing seems broken thank god heh, not sure if we are missing owt but as I dont know and they say ignorance is bliss, Im a happy gnome!

Now I dont beleive that for 1 min m8 lol :p

Update coming in next few hours guys....

Its real important that you delete the contents of the existing folder this time as you will have a few redundant windows left that could cause problems at a later date oks.

Gilliana 02-18-2006 02:18 PM

First let me say that I really love the UI. After LU 19, I couldn't play at all because of constant crashing; installed LL and the crashing was cured completely. I guess you can program better than SOE 8^)

There seems to be one bug, when the raid window is open, whether using the little hotkey in the interface or Alt r it acts as though the window covers the entire screen. In other words I can no longer mouse click on anything as it can only hit the raid interface. I may just be dumb here, but I can't figure out how to change it.

I have one suggestion/request. I play healers, and I really need to see when wards and debuffs wear off. Although I have a large monitor, the little icons below my name aren't really interpretable. I can see where this doesn't really matter to melee and others, but forme its a real issue as I can't tell when tp recast, and if I toggle spell worn off in a chat window, then on raids or even in a single group I get spammed. If there was any way to make these larger either permanently or with a toggle that would be great.

Thanks again for all the hard work!

Gilli :) :) :)

Madhog 02-18-2006 08:55 PM

Heh the raid window. No you aint crazy, it actually DOES fill the entire screen, though the background is clear so you cant see it.

What I do (til lazy laffs fixes it) is make sure click through on the raid window is NOT enabled, move it to the left slightly, figure out where the right hand edge is, then I resize it so its just the group box sized. Repeat for the bottom to adjust the height.

Hope that makes sense.

I like your other idea too, I play a mystic and that would be handy. Plus Laffy aint made me anything new for ages!

/cracks the whip at Laffs

Laffs 02-19-2006 04:06 PM

Lol yeh that raid window drives me nuts as well hehe... But with some much changing havent gotten round to doing somthing else with it yet..

So what you want made bigger or with timers on is the maintained effects in the player window I have ? Is that correct ?
:p

Gilliana 02-21-2006 10:35 AM

Better CS than SOE too!!!
 
Yes that's the area that is just too small to follow. I play a mystic and an inquisitor. Both of then cast wards that, while they have a duration, are usually consumed by the damage stream before that time. As I can't see the ward icons clearly, it often get behind the curve on the tank, and as heals per se just aren't very effective that often ends in disaster. My debuffs are also pretty useful, and again it is tough to see when they end.

As far as I can tell, they appear in the small box below my character name where the maintained spells appear. If it makes a difference, I don't really care about the long duration or permanent spell icons, just the short duration ones that are cast in or immediately before combat.

Gilli :) :) :)

Laffs 02-21-2006 12:17 PM

Okies me understands exactly what it is your needing now... And that is possible but I think I may have to re-arrange that window somehow to fit larger icons in..

As for it just showing the short duration one's , sorry to my knowlage I dont think there is a way to filter long/short..

But I will see what I can do for yah's :)

Laffs 02-21-2006 03:11 PM

Try this player window but please use it along with the other file here as well.

Only the Test server is up atm here, Onlything I think dont look right is the conc bubbles maybe and the small timer i placed on only the 1st maintained icon for now as I wasnt going to do all 30 if its not going to show properly due to lack of space...

Feedback needed please guys ;)

Madhog 02-21-2006 07:26 PM

Just a heads up Laffy, logged in post patch tonight and the new tool tips look odd. Sadly I didnt get enough time to get a screen but it looks like at the top of the tooltip is text like *Description text entered here* and its positioned right over the bit you usually see the time remaining etc.

No idea if this is a custom UI thing or a SOE fooked up thing, but thought Id let ya know either way :D

Laffs 02-21-2006 08:15 PM

Its a soe thing m8... as i dont have a custom tooltip no more there wasnt a need for it with all the options they give you now ;)

They just forgot to either delete a kinnda test line of text or hide it even or maybe the timer bit borked on tooltips ... somthing like that anyways lmao

Take a squint at those two files pls and let me know thanks (those are concering the thing you was complaining about a few days back lol :p)

Madhog 02-22-2006 04:14 AM

Ah cool so hopefully the tooltips will be fixed quickly then. *sigh* heh.

Erm playing me bruiser mainly now, not my mystic, so they are more use to the lady that asked ya first, I was just encouraging you.

*giggle*

:D

Loktha 02-22-2006 01:16 PM

Actually, the tooltip issue isn't a SOE problem. They removed the "description goes here..." text from the tooltip window. To fix it, you'll need to open up eq2ui_examine.xml and then find the code referring to the tooltip window. Inside that, you will find the "description goes here.." that is causing this issue. I can't give you exactly what to look for because I use UIBuilder and it's much easier to get rid of it in there.

You may not have altered the tooltip window, but if you've changed any of the examine windows to fit the UI, then your going to need to alter the tooltip window to get rid of this problem :)

Laffs 02-22-2006 07:52 PM

Ah thanks for pointing that out ! ... I plain forgot about the examine window still being in the UI I thought I had stripped them all out !

Heres a fixed one for now untill I get chance to take a propper look at how different the default one is to my version now :)

Warcondom 02-24-2006 01:26 AM

Theres no AA tabby when you press L, in the update for LU20.

ilatha 02-24-2006 02:09 AM

Just a little thing. New to the game, picked it up when they announced pvp :) Using most elements from the ui, just removed those things I didn't want to use in favour of the default. For some reason I don't see a pvp immunity timer bar pop up when I zone. I think its to do with my server_character_eq2_uisettings.ini file as in my old one there is text relating to the timer, and in the new one there isn't but I have no idea! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Gilliana 02-24-2006 10:27 AM

Thanks
 
finally got a chance to give the larger maintained spell icons a workout. Although the larger size in the personal box below the name helps, I find I use the 'old fashioned' one in combat. I don't know about other classes, but I can't see having a very large number of maintained spells to go in here....

Let's see, there is the standard 5 maintained group and individual buffs, that use the available concentration slots; a group and solo ward, maybe 4 or 5 debuffs, and 2 DoTs. Lets say 14 or so at most, so a 5x4 box might do it, at least for mystics.

Also I too noticed the scrunching up of data in the info boxes you get with a mouseover, looks like the timer is superimposed on some other data.

Gilli :) :) :)

Madhog 02-24-2006 12:36 PM

That skills wndow needs fixing badly, cant see the new AA tab to choose new skills! Tried deleting the skills file and editing the mainhud file to not refer to it but all I get is a AA window now!!!

Help!

/tap

Madhog 02-24-2006 12:48 PM

Hmm ok, this UI is crashing me now, cant log in! Ive downloaded the latest version, which confusingly says LU20 on the page and was done yesterday but its still LU19.zip for some reason. Even without buggering about with anything, just putting my usual windows in from the alt folder, I cannot log in.

Things broken were the skills wiindow, that description text on the tooltips, and the exp bar doesnt work properly (doesnt show the AA exp properly).

Gonna switch to default til you got a working LU20 up.

Chaddwick 02-24-2006 04:21 PM

Acheivement Points, etc
 
I cannot access the new Acheivement points and all my hotkeys have overlapping words on part of the screen, and it bothers me. Thanks for the consideration!

Tempromentis 02-24-2006 07:49 PM

AA fix
 
just delete eq_mainhud_skills.xml in Laff Lite UI folder.

As for the overlaying information ... need to find the thread again on how to fix it .. heh..

Warcondom 02-24-2006 10:06 PM

When you do, please post it here.

Laffs 02-26-2006 05:28 PM

Been away all weekend, so I will take a look at this tomorrow guys :)

boldy44 02-26-2006 06:24 PM

The UI rocks man, thanks for doing this. I am looking forward to Those fixes for the "description goes here" and the AA skill window. Keep up the awesome work!

(seems like lots of just P.Oed posts so I figured I give ya thumbs up bud :nana: )

Madhog 02-26-2006 07:23 PM

*tap*

Im being nagged by my missus every bloody hour!

*has he fixed it yet? make him fix it!*

We cant use the UI at all atm cos it crashes the game. Dont ask me why. Used the latest version too.

No rush. When I get home from work today is fine!

Thanks for that m8 :)

Okies I just logged in game to see what all the fuss is about and hey guess what !!! ... It loads up and runs no problem at all guys, So maybe I messed up with the zip somhow? And you did delete all the files from the existing folder didnt you? Anyways I will re-post it and see

kaz2k4 02-27-2006 07:29 AM

copied from another thread ***this is not my fix - all credit to the original poster whose name i forget***


Description Goes Here..........fix

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those of you having this problem and wanting to fix it before the author of your UI does.

Open the eq2ui_examine.xml in notepad or some text editing program. The code you are looking for is near the bottom of the page. This is what it looks like.

<Text AbsorbsInput="false" Font="/Fonts.Font_Tooltip" LocalText="Ten-Minute Ratonga Brownies" Location="6,7" Margin="0,0,5,0" Name="Name" ScrollExtent="221,22" Size="221,22" TextColor="#F1CE02">Ten-Minute Ratonga Brownies</Text>
<Text AbsorbsInput="false" Font="/Fonts.Font_Tooltip" LocalText="Remaining Duration Goes Here" Location="6,29" Margin="3,0,5,0" MaximumSize="220,16384" Name="Duration" ScrollExtent="220,20" Size="220,20" TextColor="#FF0000">Remaining Duration Goes Here</Text>
<Text AbsorbsInput="false" Font="/Fonts.Font_Tooltip" LocalText="Description goes here..." Location="6,47" Margin="3,0,5,0" MaximumSize="220,16384" Name="Text" ScrollExtent="220,20" Size="220,20">Description goes here...</Text>
<Icon BackgroundTint="#000000" IconStyle="/IconStyles.examine" Location="230,7" MouseOverColor="#FFFF00" Name="Icon" ScrollExtent="42,42" Size="42,42" TreatAsButton="true"/>
<Icon BackgroundTint="#000000" IconStyle="/IconStyles.examine" Location="230,52" MouseOverColor="#FFFF00" Name="ReactiveCombatIcon" ScrollExtent="42,42" Size="42,42" TreatAsButton="true"/>

Delete the code highlighted in red and save the file. You should no longer have any issues.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(i tried it and it does work)

Madhog 02-27-2006 08:41 AM

Bah I ALWAYS delete / rename my old folder and put any new ones in as totally new.

I cant think of any reason why the Alt windows you did me would affect it, can you?

Why is the version currently for download named LU19? That confused me too. With no update details on the download page its difficult to tell what version it is and what you have fixed ya slacker!

Sooo....

Have you fixed the desc thing? How about adding the AA tab in the skills window?

Oh I found a hotbar with just numbers on too, am at work so cant remember which one but Ill post it later if you like!

Regarding my trying to log in and crashing, is there a cache type file or something that would remember stuff? I just seem to recall last thing I did with yours was to /loadui and change to default in game to look at the AA page, system locked up, ended up rebooting using the reboot button! Since then Laffs Lite crashes me but EQ2MAP (one Im using for the moment) and Default work just fine.

Ypselon 02-27-2006 12:13 PM

When will we get the Correct LU 20 Version ? The Download Version in this Forum ist LU 19 .. and thats not more Working correctly.

Madhog 02-27-2006 12:27 PM

Ok figured out why I was crashing, its your examine file a few posts above this Laffs!!!

Happy to delete that skills file, which I Have, and now have me AA tree.

Cannot fix the examine thing tho, my examine file seems to have a crap load of instances of that text above in, not sure if I should delete all or not.

Attached my examine in case anyone can fix it.

Also attached the hotbar file I use, skin it so it fits in and lob it in Madhogs preferred files!! (Basically its just got numbers on it, no Alt, Ctrl etc bollocks.)

Ta!

Madhog 02-27-2006 03:00 PM

Ok! Fixed the examine thingy, just deleted all 3 instances of that text, works fine. Deleted the skills file too, so theoretically, I fixed your UI!!!

Yeh yeh lol .... Check the timestamp on new zip 6.00pm ;)

Madhog 02-27-2006 05:28 PM

Well when I said fixed, what I meant was, I appear to have inadvertantly removed the actual description text you normally get when you examine something heh. Still, rest seems ok!

Ta for the upload Ill use that tomorrow :)

Madhog 02-28-2006 06:17 AM

Ok seems fine.....almost!

First off, your skills window still dont have the AA tab in it, so Ive deleted it again. Either reskin the AA tab in properly or take it out!

Secondly, the alt exp bar dont work properly. When you right click it and select the AA mode, its like its overlaying it over adventure exp. Other exp bar (your default one) works ok but I like the other one dammit.

S'all for the moment :)

Oh tried those other files for healers, seeing as Im back on my mystic /glare stupid monky wife. Love them! Even if I wasnt a healer, Id use that I think, once I realised the casting bar was moved that is *giggle*.

Any chance of skinning the hotbars I gave ya? Have them set to transparent atm and they look odd at the bottom.

Mr Sorryyoucanthavejustnumbersonahotbar.

:D

Volion 02-28-2006 09:24 AM

Great UI,

Any chance to get this in the grey?

Also the L key doesnt show the new skill tree :)

Well the "button label" aka the numbers on the hotbars on the one you sent me and the version I have the code is basicly exactly the same (apart from size difference's) , So I say mine must update dynamicly and his dont... either way mine does what it is intended to do .. as for the other well, maybe it does also /shrug

The skills window crept back in yeh I know.. so yes just all delete the £%*$ again..

As for the alt exp bar AA bar I have had that in there for a while now prior to KoS becoming live.... But since I dont have the expansion pack how the heck do I know if it works properly or not ?!?! Heh !

I will take a look at what info is in the default version and recreate that info into my version and I am sure you will soon put me right as to weather or not it does what it is surposed to ;)

As for skinning those hotbars for you yes I will but when I get time to do so okies...

My sense of humour is very very thin atm way to much to have to deal with in RL.... So basicly what I am saying is if I feel that this is adding to the stress I already have I will quit making UI's and mods.


Edit... Hobar is for Madhog thought I may as well do it whilst on with exp window..

Madhog 02-28-2006 07:59 PM

Woot! Cheers fella! If lifes bringing ya down, take a break from this crap, tisnt worth it. Well I am obviously but .... :D

Ill test them out tomorrow!

Madhog 03-01-2006 08:30 AM

Exp bar still aint working properly, attached a screeny. It doesnt display the text properly is all.

If you aint got KoS not sure how you can fix it heh.

Everything else looks fab tho as you can see!

Think Ill just get one from the components area til you all sorted :D

Devla 03-01-2006 10:42 AM

Right click on the exp bar, go to Window options.

Change the "Frame" dropdown menu to the couple settings it has, and you'll see the Exp bar change appearance

Worked for me
