Something I noticed in 1.5 and 1.6 and this happens even if I completely wipe my UI and fresh-install and use your settings.ini file (1280x1024). The order of the hotbars are (top to bottom) 5, 2, 4, 3, 1 instead of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Easy enough to fix, but I wasn't sure if it's saved in the .ini or if that's a Sony bug?

edit: Oh, and just noticed you switched to the OCD style Inventory. How in the world do you get it to remember the mode you prefer? I keep setting it to Paperdoll, but everytime I camp and come back, it's always back in Slimline :( But at least the Drop to Inventory is fixed now.

Yep, Drop to Inventory is now working! Woo!

Thanks Profit! :D :D :D

hotbar at bottom
 

Im trying to figure out a way to bring the bottom bar back .. somehow I lost it .. and want to know if there is a hotkey to bring it back ..

this is the bar with all the resist status .. as well as attack and defense ..


Thanks


btw awsome UI

Maybe I will just reinstall it. I have the slider for letterbox all the way to the left and the box for gold borders unchecked. I also have moved the other windows out of the way and tried to click. I also moved the dark bottom window up so I could be sure I was clicking on it. I still did not have the option to have anything except "none" in the Frame and Title menubox.

Sorry to be so difficult, but I did not change any settings and I cannot get this to work. As far as I can tell, I have tried everything logical to get it to work, including every suggestion I have seen on this board.

Sorry about the hotkeys - it's just the way I have them set!

As for Inventory, it wont remember.

Are you sure you are running 1.6 ?

Just realized it is out. I am uninstalling 1.5 and installing 1.6 Wish me luck! And, thank you SO much. As I said at first, this interface is amazing!

OOH!!! It is there! It is there!! Thanks!!! :nana:

idiot user
 

Profit: thanks for the UI! Cant imagine how long it took but i guess it was a while - one more UI convert to you

I have 2 small issues (because I am stupid - everything that you have coded works marvelously)

1) How, in the name of all that is holy, do I get that bar with the rings, hex doll and horsey whistle to work. I have the bar up but can not assign items to the icons there. I have a imbued ring to buff int, a +int hex doll and horsey whistle that I would like to put on there. Any /poke in the right direction from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

2) How do I target myself? for power shards, wards and the like. On the old (ie crap) UI I could just click on my name but this doesnt seem to be the case here. I have to click on the pet window to target my pet, then again to target me. It may be that I have just been clicking on the wrong bit of the screen (see stupid comment above).

Anyways thanks again, its always nice to have a distraction from actually filling that tradeskill order - Tok

Ok,

In the main EQ2 folder there should be several txt files:

manastone.txt
horse.txt
ring1.txt
ring2.txt
unequip_horse.txt
weapon.txt

These point to different slots in your inventory - i.e:
ring.txt is: use_equipped_item 9
ring2.txt is: use_equipped_item 10

Just edit them to suit your needs.

To target yourself, either:

1) Press F1
2) Click on the Self Effects area (the 4 opaque effect icons)
3) Click your name in the group window (only when in a group!)
4) Click your toon in the main play screen - if this doesnt work it's because you never set "third person picking" in the options, but... SOE have disabled this for some odd reason. to renable it add this to the eq2_recent.ini file

r_allow_player_picking true


Have fun :)

Thanks mate
 

Cool cool - thanks for the /poke in the right direction, the trick with the horsey whistle et al is a stunning idea.

The UI just saves me so much space at 1280 x 1024! - I have more room on the hotbars for those emote macros that everyone loves (I hope).

Its nearly christmas.....

I've been reading throug this and see some comments that make me wonder if I want to upgrade to 1.6 right now :).

What is the mainhud names that were removed? Are we talking about the maintained spell window names?

Also what is the slimline inventory? Anyone have some screenshots of the new update in action? Thanks!

(By the way: The collection window thing seemed to have sorted itself out. Dunno why it did that with the 100/100 and no quests shown, I didn't have an item selected or anything. Regardless, all is working properly now!)

Okay, I'm probably going to update to 1.6. Will I need to update my player ini file with the new one from 1.6 or will I be good to use the one I was using from 1.5e?

1.6a out tomrrow - will bust be an update - not a full download, so will need 1.6 installed first.

names removed ???? all I did was hide "noxious, elemental etc" from the self - effects window - no biggie - it's back now in 1.6a

The inventory is this one: borrowed from Jaxel http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3708

Just found your UI and I REALLY like it as far as the window pieces and colors and such goes, but really dont like the default layout :) I have adjusted everything to suit my tastes and have everything 1 one thing sorted. On my old UI i had a resizable hotbar mod that let me set some hotbars double horizontal and some bars double vertical. Is there any way to get this option in your UI? I tried looking at both of the XML files side by side but can not for the life of me figure it out. Thanks.

Small request.
 

I have upgraded to 1.6 and everything is running smoothly.

Can't wait for the 1.6a update! :nana:

So far I have only noticed one bug similar to the one Eloora pointed out earlier in the thread. Just before I came here to post the auto combat sword would not go back to white after I left combat. It would remian a very lgiht red and go back to flashing to the dark red when I was in combat again.

Also I was wondering if you could implement the milquetowst info for access and legend and lote quests and horse prices etc. that is built into ThorUI.
And would it be possible to add the goldi's start button?

Can I pieces of other peoples mods to your work without breaking it now or later on?

I find myself switching to ThorUI just to use those buttons on the help window and if they were incorperated into your UI it would be 1 step closer to being a complete, fully skinned masterpiece!

Thanks again for all the work you have put into this Profit. I can't even play with the default UI anymore you have spoiled me! :D

I love your UI, it's the best one I've ever used! I have one problem that's driving me crazy however. Each time I log in my chat windows are either completely gone or the new windows I've added (by docking them to your 2 default ones provided) are missing. This happens every single time I log back in. Is there something I' m doing wrong or something I can do to fix this problem? Thanks and keep up the great work!

Wow, your UI is fantastic, definitely the most original out there atm. One thing though--I used Fetish Nightfall for a while, in going back to the default window color sets, i was reminded how poorly some of those colors were chosen by SOE...particularly the brownish-grayish-gold color that is the 'foreground' (i guess) prevalent on so many windows (like the market window, the tradeskill window). Any plans on changing that to something different? Also, is there any way i could change a color value to alter it?

CS

Sorry no idea why this happens.


Will look into it.


No, My mod started because I really dislike that thing. If you want it, download it and use that instead. that's the beauty of interface pieces - they can usually be added together.

I never even used to have the bags/harvest/nightvision - I reluctantly added them from a guildy :)


Yes :) apart from clock, player, experience.

Have you tried using the default ini settings as a base?

I know I've seen screen shots of this UI with more than 1 chat area, so it must work.

Sony have said in the past that they have issues with chat windows.

I actaully like the way the gold melds with my new blue buttons.

and no, no colour value :(

1.6a now available.
 

See first post for download. (just a patch to full 1.6)

Changes to 1.6a

• Clicking main health/power area now once again selects yourself :)
• Backdrop available again on Self Effects and Group windows.
• Self Effects has toggleable names (Titlebar).
• Maintained Buff window no longer truncates long names.
• Experience Disabled only displayed when showing Adventure Exp.
• Revised Experience font - no more artifacts when showing "1" (thank Taco for pointing me to the font editor). Improved the "1" and "5" fonts.
• In-Combat sword now part of Manastone area.
• Hover over top Stat area to show Resistances. (For those like me that don't have the lower stat bar showing).

Thanks:) Cant wait to see it...

This UI really needs to be top of the list 5 stars for you! It is simple yet gives me enough info (except one thing..I would like HP on stat bar, call me crazy). I have been using UI's since the beginning of EQInterface; with TKing and Drakah, I didn't thing I would find a UI that would fit...yours did perfectly. May you not grow tired of "I wants" anf keep on modding. :p

Hello Profit :) I saw a few posts from you but no reply to my question so I figured you may have missed it in all the others.

Theres only 1 major problem I have right now with your UI. Is there anything I can do in the hotkey xml file to make the hotkey bars resizable? Currently they are 1 row horizontal, would like to be able to adjust them to some be 2 columns vertical and some 2 rows horizontal. I have a mod with my old UI that allowed that, and I had to temporarily use that instead of your hotbars but I like yours better because they are smaller, just need to be able to adust the size and such. Thanks.

Also a small detail. I like to keep my target and implied target on the right hand side of the screen just above the group window. Up along the top its too far away from my group window (im a healer so like to have all that info in one place for a quick glance). Is there a possiblity of a smaller target and implied target window? I like the compass window but when I moved the target and implied target away i saw that it has a static bit I guess to mark where they go? Is there any way for me to remove that from the compass window?

Oh and just a question. I have the default group window up, I see that theres a small group window in the package. I keep my group window on the right hand side of the screen and would like to be able to see the effects icons, does the small one have the effects under the group members name or does it still go out to the right side? I can just forget about those if so, and just move it offscreen a bit. Thanks for the great UI.

Hi sorry for not seeing the post.

You can always use another hotkey from the downloads section.

I've fixed it so you can size the compass - please redownload 1.6a

Please re-download 1.6a - I messed up the maintained buffs window.

Hey Profit..

GREAT UI, u've made here, I only have 2 things..

1/ I cant get the manastone reasy message to pop/or remove the icons
2/ WOuld llike to have nameds and timer on the maintained spells back :)

What can I do to make this happen ??

Thnx M8

Please read previous post.

Please ensure you are using my clock and start button as this initializes some windows.

Thanks for the compass thing. As for the hotkeys, is it possible to make your resizable, and if so is it something you can give me a hint about where to look? I want to use yours since its smaller and has the autohide bank selector if possible.

Umm I maybe missing something but where is the link to DL 1.6a? there is no update in the patches area for 1.6a and your link in the 1.6 post points back to these forum area

I am having a problem with 1.6b. If you see the attached screenshot, I have a box that is circled in red, that doesn't go across the full screen, but it is covering up anything I put over it. ie: If I put the actionbar there, I cannot see the actionbar. I am using just your UI, and your UI Settings. What is this and how do I fix/remove it?

well that looks a mess!

1. Turn off letterbox mode

2. That doesn't look like my chat window

3. Please check again to see if you are using my ini file.

yeah the chatbox was changed to remove the scrollbar, thats it for the most part.

Trying letterbox mode now. and yeah its a mess because I had to move everything trying to find what window that was :P
*edit*
Letterbox mode worked. thanks a lot :) sorry for the nub question. I'm new to the UI Scene in EQ2... I wish they would let us use lua :'(

My default chat does not have the scroll bar - all the extra bit only appear when you mouse over. :)

Glad you got it working.

Question please:

When you click on your experience, it changes from adventure to tradeskill, but there is one more experience thing.

What is that for?

Thanks,
-Noalei of Steamfont

More then likely Guild

Been reading ALL posts, and tryed some different things that people said, but it still wont work, as for using your clock and start button, I'm not using pieces from another UI (I'm not to good at mixing) so I am using everything you made..

Still love it, but would like to know what I maybe have'nt tryed to get thoose icons to work, or to remove them, and get name/timers on the spells..

Thnx

Very nice UI, b4 i've always put together my own and it became a nuisance keeping it update...none of that now.
Only one little thing...Can u put the little pointers back on the Persona XP bars, so u can see roughly where your vitality will take u, I think there's one on the Inventory but to small to understand.

Profit UI 1.6 Question
 

Sorry couldnt figure out right place to post - I really like the UI but does anyone know how I can see my life bar while I am fighting?
Probably a Duh Question - But I can't figure it out.
I can target myself and see bars, but I cant see it when I am fighting.
I have tried everything. Cant change that little invisible bar with the Plus signs in the upper left when i mouse over it that says my name to frames there is no option for it when I go to window settings.
and The Opac doesnt seem to help. not a computer wiz.
Would really appreciate the assist. Thank you for your patience- Oh and the two Target / Implied target things on the top don't seem to do anything except loc/ direction. I figure I'm doing something wrong.
