from a seasoned Profit UI user to all
 

IF YOU JUST DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED THIS UI ... PLS STOP ASKING FOR ENTIRE WINDOWS TO BE RE WRITTEN!!.
also pls go back and read all previous posts and updates so you understand the stages this ui has gone through the updates it has gone through.

This UI is being maintained by the community (a few people specifically) and they are doing a really awsome job. If you like it, use it! if you don't, then use a different one. I really don't think its appropriate to download and install a new ui and then come on forums and say hey, " completely redo this or that window cuz i think its better that way"(will refrain from quoting people but its getting old). That would be for you to do (if you do change it, good post the results since maybe others would like to use). If you have a bug or problem that is preventing you from using the UI as intended than post here. There are many people that can help you workaround your issues. If you find a window from a different UI particularly useful then post a link here so others may try it out and comment. If enough profit community like maybe it will get included but don't expect it.

I am seeing alot of posts asking to redo whole windows and even posts to change windows and parts of windows back to what can be found in previous versions of profit but have since been updated. "updated" being the keyword.
If you like it different use the older version of that particular window. or substitute the window or style you do like from a different UI.

Please remember this is community supported there is no full time coder working on this ui simply to create your perfect tailored version. Lets not turn this thread into a place where everyone comes on and asks for the UI to be redone the way they like it when its already done the way the majority of profit users like it.

I think the majority of the community, that has been using profit ui for along time is happy with the UI, although im sure refinements, bugs fixes, and live update fixes will continue to take place.

Totally agree. This UI is kept alive by a few individuals who give of their free time willingly. If you want window revamps...do it yourself.

/agree

Great job guys, keep up the brilliant work :)

i am also agree, its a very good UI :nana: , the best i have tried for eq2 :D , but even this i think its not bad that ppl ask for new windows ;) and changes (if the changes are to make better UI)

( forgive me for my english lvl )

Chat Box help =)
 

Hey! I've looked all over for the answer to this question so please forgive me if I've overlooked it somehow.

I love the chat box for this UI. I have two problems with my chat window though. First is I can't grab it and move it even though I've unchecked the locked and click through boxes, and I've tried with all the setting (ie none, frame only and frame and title)

My other problem is that I like to have more than one box open at a time so I tried to drag some tabs from the original chat box to the right side of the screen but it's not working the box goes over but it's unreadable and I am unable to move the chat box no matter how I set it (ie none, fame only, title and frame). In addition I've tried to go with the create new tab way and I get the same issues.

So for example chat box on left side would contain tabs OCC, Chat, Game, Player and chat box on right would contain tabs Guild, Spells, Combat...etc.

Like that.

Thanks in advance :)

Hmmm...

I read some time ago about someone having this problem, I just don't remember where. I do remember the answer to it, I think.

Not sure if you have already tried this. It might be a pain to setup all windows again and such, but if that's the only option to make it work. (Not sure it will)

Remove (cut/paste it to somewhere) your server_name_eq2_uisetting for 1 of your characters and start fresh with setting it up from scratch. It's located in your root everquest II folder.

As I said, I do not know if this will work, or if you have already tried it. But, it might be worth a shot.

Good luck!

[Bug-report]

Think I just noticed a bug.

If you look in the upper left corner of the screenshot, it lists guild xp at 93.7%.

In the guild window itself, it lists it at 92.7%. I verified this by checking my wife's guild experience display. She runs on ThorUI. Her display also says 92.7%.

With all due respect ..better for whom? The person that just downloaded and installed the UI and has no history with what the "long time profit" users want or think is good? These are the people my post is aimed at, the new users. If you look back you will see numerous posts saying, "hey i just downloaded this UI, but can you redo this window cuz "I" like it better this way or that way". Saw one post asking to change something back to the way it was in a much older profit version simply cuz they think it would work better for them.

We have had a huge amount of additions and refinements in the latest compilations to make this UI the complete work that it is, and i will be forever grateful to GM9 and spiricore for the time and attention they have given both this UI and the forum structure it finds its new home in.

That said lets refocus this thread on helping people fix the installation problems they are having and working out any remaining bugs that may be present. check out the main page for the current wishlist of "fixes" the community as a whole, has asked for.

On that note if your not happy with the current hotbar this one works great for me none of the "bugs" that people are complaining about with profit and even takes on the silver theme. personally i like it because it has just enough border inbetween icons to allow for easy moving. I can turn the text and the bank selectors on and off and it has no resizing issues at all.
Once you try it you will probably keep it.

Thank You SO much!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. (Not a change to the whole window scheme for everyone, just for me.)Thanks again!

I aologize if this has been asked before, but i looked and didn't see anything regarding the bottom bar.

Is there a way to permanantly turn off/disable the bottom bar? As it stands right now I have to manually shut it off, everytime I log in.

Thx.

Thanks I'll give it a try I appreciate your suggestion. =)

Debugged 6 column bags mod
 

I found a bug in 6 column bags mod posted by lollygagger.

Change to Square mod from other mod(Vertical or Horizontal) ingame, setted 4 column not 6 column.
Exit EQII and reconnect, it works 6 column correctly.
But change to other mod and return to Square mod, it works 4 column again.

Because it modded initial array mathod only not ingame-rearray mathod.

I mod ingame-rearray mathod to 6 column, it will works 6 column correctly with anyway. :)

EQII - EQ2 Button
 

Hi..sorry but I'm quite new to EQ2 and UI's for it...I've installed the Profit UI and love it...much much better than the default. My only question so far is: Where is the EQ2 (EQII) button in this UI? Is that what you refer to as the 'start' button? I've tried searching the forums but I'm having a hard time filtering and getting the search criteria right.

Thank you!

Yes, there is a little button on the (STARTBUTTON) which is the EQ2 button that holds all the further connections to groupsettings and such, like the default EQ2 button. It's a little tiny button on the (STARTBUTTON) together with other buttons that is very usable to have in-game.


Xarox Soulfire (Europe-Splitpaw)

Thank you :) I'm having trouble finding that button in my Profit UI though....can anyone tell me or post a screen shot of it?

There ya go! :)

And someone else has to tell you how to get it to show if it doesn't. I have no clue what command that is.

hotbar button numbers?
 

Is there a way to have the numeric values appear on the hotbar icons?

I just loaded the UI last night and it's great! I tried it on an off toon that was low level and figuring out/remembering which keys were to which hotbar button was a little awkward.

Cut and paste from the official download page http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=4215

* Hotbars:
Changed behaviour for "frame & titlebar" settings:
(None): No bank select arrows shown, no shortcut keys shown
(Frame Only): No bank select arrows shown, visibility of shortcut keys controllable via frame opacity settings
(Frame and Titlebar): Bank select arrows shown when mousing over, visibility of shortcut keys controllable via frame opacity settings

you need to select Frame only or Frame and titlebar in window settings and then control the visability on the numbers with the frame opacity settings.

How do I get the scroll bars on the chat windows to disappear? I've tried every possible frame and titlebar setting and opacities in the window settings, yet they are always showing. The only way I can hide them is if I turn down the window opacity but that hides the text as well.

That function removed because it cause a bug.

If you use eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml of ProfitUI v2.0, you can hide scroll bars with 'none' or 'frame only' option.
But, hide scroll bars with single tab chat windows cause scrollbar protrude issue.

No one knows how to get the EQ2 button to appear in the UI?

Just thought of something.

If you press F10 once, all windows that are hidden will show up. Then you just have to go into the windows settings on each window that you dont have and modify the bars so that the window is visible at all times. After that you just press F10 twice and you are back to normal view.

Try that, hope it works. :)

Where is the Guild window kept I was trying to remove it so that the new Recruiting Tab would display properly and I dont see a guild xml file.

Harvesting problems
when ever a guild mate of mine tries to harvest EQ2 locks up does not seem to have any other problems but harvesting any ideas?

Could be other files involved but I'm guessing it's "eq2ui_mainhud_guild.xml" in your UI folder :)

That did it! Thank you :) found a small tool bar with a 'menu' button on it that was actually the EQ2 button. Good call :)

I'm trying to get just the stat bar as a stand alone mod for my husband, so it shows up for him like normal with the default UI. So far I've managed to get the window and stat text to display like normal, but the window is not visible when I first log in, as it is with the whole Profit UI. I have to type /show_window mainHUD.Memorized to make it appear each login.

My question is, is there a seperate file or line of code that governs whether the stat bar is visible at login? If so what do I need to include or edit so that I wouldn't have to make a macro to open it every time?

Thanks,

Love the UI! One question though, and since I am pretty new, it is probably a n00b one, but when I search the Market, I don't get the seller's location. Isn't that supposed to be listed? Is it a user error (like I think it is) or does it just not appear with this UI?

Thanks!

if i remember correctly, you only see the sellers location if they are online, if not you just get the name

hotbars
 

i have only one thing i need..and thats to be able to switch between hotbars and i have no idea how too..if anyone can help that be great..

Long time user and lover of the UI. Loving the big upgrade to 2.2.2 (used 1.8f forever) only problem I'd love to see tweaked is switching targets using the "self" window. It seems the area under the implied target is so small that I only hit it about one in 10 times. Can it be enhanced to be the entire name of the target? I've also always wanted to get a slimmer scaling raid window.

Hmm, as far as I know, you never get the location unless he/she actually is standing inside their inn-room in person selling stuff. If they are not in the inn-room, only the name of the person will show.

Hope that helps. :)

There is a short command that is pretty easy, and which I use all the time.

SHIFT + 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 will change between the hotbar rows. It's the PRIMARY hotbar that will switch "page" so to speak.


Xarox Soulfire (Europe-Splitpaw)

is there a fix for the guild window? I can not fully see all of the new stuff that was added in

target buffs
 

I had trouble finding the buffs of my target. I ended up figuring out that if i change my con_version (button in upper-right of target window) it shows up.

chat options
 

When I load the c&b, my first tab is ooc..and nothing is selected in it. Next I dont know if all the UIs do this, but I can't have guild chat on two different tabs. It might be other things too, I don't know.

sweet that will work ..thank you xarox

Hi there,
I'm new to using different UI's, and I have to say that this one is very good. Nice functionality while still keeping the feel of the game. Great work.

I am having some slight problems and I'm not sure if it is something I need to do.

1) With LU 22 they added the function where an unguilded character can use the guild window to search for guilds that are recruiting. However, I am unable to gett this window to come up. Is there something I need to do to enable this?

2) Also the panic button (great idea), strips the armour of my character, however, because my bags tend to be full a lot, I just get a message saying I can't do this. Is there a way to disable the removal of clothing?

3) This is more stylistic, but the experience number and Loading text reminds me more of a football scoreboard, and I wondered if there was a way to change this text so it was more like the rest of the UI.

Thank you in advance for any help. And also thank you for creating and maintaining an excellent UI.

quest helper and window resizing...
 

First off, I really love the UI.

I'm having a slight problem with the quest helper. Normally I run in 1600x1200. If I hit alt-enter or ctrl-esc to swap to other programs, or if something like the Windows Updater pleading with me to restart steals focus, the screen dimensions change (Completely variable - but the exact dimensions at testing 1444x1095.)

The quest helper both resizes and moves - this is probably working right? But when I go back into full screen mode, the quest helper is now off of my screen and sized the same dimensions as it was before. This causes me to unlock it, move it back, and lock it again every time.

None of the other game windows do this... Is there any particular reason this happens?

Somehow I messed up my compass window. It no longer shows the earth/game time and current zone. It still has the coords, is there a way for me to get the rest of the window back? Thanks
