Did I miss any thing that needed looked into?

1. No clue what you are trying to tell me here.
2. I can't reproduce this results, Maybe I had already fixed in the version I was testing with.
3. It does not save changes or it changes Modified .. even though nothing has changed?

BTW: The news will not display anything..

You should probably fix that thing with the EQ2Interface page not displaying :)

thank you for fixing my name

oh and what's up with this borg9 name gm9 is going by?

The interface page not displaying is by design ATM. I know it works, but while we are testing I am going to keep it disabled so it will not hammer This site for page requests.

You are welcome :)

Next Gen Trek thing.. The borg a cyborg race and all his comments about assimilating us.. So I've dubbed him Borg9

LOL my mom is a trekky!!!

Yup the Borg stuff is pretty much a private joke between Landiin and myself that started in this thread - even though I changed my avatar, my user title and my sig, noone even commented on that. And you should check Landiin's title as well. :D

Feature report:

• Proxy code works. :nana:

Bug report:

• file paths still show incorrect on the Interface tab for any UI that contains a folder but no UI folder.
• file paths still show incorrect for all interfaces on the Interface tab after changing your UI path
• updating any UI fails for an unhandled error about the .zip being used by another process - that process is in fact EQ2C itself, as I verified with ProcessExplorer
• Check your encoding, something went terribly wrong there (it seems to do multiple passes...). Applies to all tabs that save code to xml files.

I noticed your Avatar and Title but missed the sign change.. Good one!

WOOHOO..

Give me a UI example to look at.
The only way I can reproduce this is if I happen to have a file selected and it already has the path displayed. Once I click on a new file it reflects the changed/correct path.
Fixed.
Fixed but that introduces another issues.. ' is not considered a char that needs to be encoded by XML or HTML. None of the parser I use (MS xml, open xml or Xerces XML) encodes '. But if I encode it then it encodes the & of &apos. I'll try to open a dialog with one of the UI devs on this.

Request:

-Run App. tab doesn't close on exit

-When excluding files, and updating is done it probably shouldn't say "Ready", it should say "Skipped by user"

All in all it seems to be fully functioning!

Already did in the original report, eg Milquetowst InfoCenter.

Right, sorry, got lazy in testing. In the last build I tested it stayed incorrect. :p

I guess you'll have to do a simple search and replace in that case to fix them. But I wouldn't mind if we could use unencoded ' everywhere (funny enough for some things you can use them...).

I'm working on an icon and logo if no one is. If it turns on semi-ok i will post it

My bad, thought you where talking about the info center folder in the profit.zip I'll check out just the infocenter mod by itself.
I've never encoded it before, but from what I read it has to be encoded in order to use in a spells name.

Wounder if Adin''s super nuke would work. Or maybe esapeing it; Adin\'s super nude. Will go do some testing.

Go for it; If it turns out good, I'll start spelling you name correctly:) maybe;)

hahaha. landiin.... check image 1.

and heres a mockup of a smaller version of the eq2 logo (image 2), I just wanna add a C which is hard and make it an icon.

that bastid, still resisting assimilation, I see. :D

If you need the C in EQ2 logo style then you can either rip the C of the logo I just made for my guild (see here) or otherwise let me know and I'll make it for you, that's no problem.

Yeah well all I did was take the EQ2 logo and make it smalle and remove the other letters. I'm not great at photoshop so I tried making that stupid C but no use :(

that's why I linked the logo I made, I think I got the EQ2 style quite right there, and our guild name begins with a C. ;)

actually here you go, made a fresh one for you:

Doesn't look right as an icon. :/

Image needs to be square also. But I've put in it till someone comes up with something better :)

Logo wise I was thinking of something like the EQ1 Wizards familiar (but better graphics) and the EQ2C letters. Thin again I am no where near artistically inclined.

Build 1.12
 

Build 1.12 Change log;

• New Settings window.
• Fixed an issue where it could not update a UI because it was in use by EQ2 Companion.
• Stopped encoding ' for the spell1 and spell2 properties in the C2C. It is still encoded in the script part as the parser does not encode/decode node values.
• Added the Icon Drago and gm9 came up with.
• Fixed an issue where it was trying to install a UI into the wrong place if it had a directory in the zip and not the UI directory.

Hmm didn't see this till just now. What do you mean by The Run App. Tab don't close on exit? It says open while the rest of the APP is closed?

you forgot to include the .ico file! hahahaha

No the icon is in, he used it for when you have started the app, you see it in the upper left corner. But he probably meant to package it as the files' standard icon instead. :p

Yeah it actually looks good :)

I like the new settings window WAY more than the old one!!!! I wanted to say there was something wrong with the old one, but I didn't know how to put it in words.

Oh, is EQ2C hopefully going to go live with RoK?

I need to test the file Quick char switch creates. and make sure it is compatible with the game. I know it isn't with the current UIbuilder but haven't tested in game yet. Once the changes we talked about goes live then I will not have any concerns. May just disable that module till the changes go live.

I'll be putting out Release build 1.0; tonight or tomorrow for you guys to give it one last work over, then I'll put it out for every one.. *And go AFK for about a year:P *

You have been assimilated. :p

@#$$#% Need a new name for EQ2 Companion. I was just informed of another application named EQ Companion. I do not want people to get them confused with each other, so guessing I should rename my app being that one seems to have been around for a while.

You have been assimilated. ;)

hehee. How about naming it the EQ2 Collective or EQ2 Cubus, that way you could keep the logo. :D The EQ2 Interface Borg sounds also good.

EQ2 Collective Hmm

Been calling it companion for so long... Duel time? :P

Release Build 1.0
 

Yes it is Passworded till I get an A-OK from my beta testers.

Whats new..

Nothing really, Just renamed, merged and cleaned up some source files, some tweaks here and there nothing major.

Delete every thing EQ2 Companion and try this one fresh. Try every thing as if you have never seen the application.

It's quite possible I've missed some bugs you have reported so check over what you have found and make sure I didn't over look them. I am good at over looking things, just ask my wife:P

Should I make a installer/uninstaller? The only thing I can think you would need that for is if you wanted to quit using it and have it delete it's foot print and junk. /shrug

At any rate here is the file.

EQ2InYourFace

There is no Cancel button in settings if i mess anything up :(

Nothing happends if you press Update in UI List tab.

If you press update 2 times in a row inside a UI tab you get a error and all buttons grey out.

If you use this settings you can't get into the program again, it will launch EQ2 then exit.

I vote for Zonx' proposal. :D

Bugs:

• Starting it up, message box about no registry entry found has a ... gasp .. typo: "proved" -> "provide". After clicking ok, IMO the file path selection should pop up automatically. It is still non-intuitive that you then have to click "Save" before being able to do anything else. After path selection, you should either just save it automatically or pop up a yes/no window.
• Possibly only a typo: Settings -> Companion settings -> Run EQTest.exe should probably be TestEQ2.exe (IIRC). You'll have to test what it actually launches.
• Hmm, last time I tested proxy support it was at home with a software proxy I loaded on the same machine. It does not function at work. Maybe it is filtering on the browser string...
• Actually I got it to partially work with one of 3 proxies of our organisation. it makes a connection but then fails for unknown reasons.
• If the interface tab connection fails, the error message EIdSocketErrorError should be renamed to EIdSocketError and has missing spaces where between "intowww" and "youwill". Also change "model" -> "module". The following error may be due to this: When on the interfaces tab clicking to "add" an interface it asks me for every page I browse to on eq2interface whether I want to add this "interface" to my favorites on eq2interface. When I click no, sometimes the box pops up again immediately. Also I cannot browse to the front page of eq2interface in that browser box, clicking on "Home" on the page just does nothing (click any other link works fine).
• If the Interface tab connection generates an error after the login was successful you cannot exit the application (that will generate an "EListError Error"), you need to kill it via task manager.
• If the EQ2MAP connection fails, you still cannot change any settings since it hangs at updating and blocks any changes during this time. You need to exit and delete your eq2c settings .xml to be able to change settings.
• The eq2map connection error message box has two typos "cancle" -> "cancel" and "Can not" -> "Cannot".
• Not sure if intentional or type, but suggest to rename the tab "BookMarks" -> "Bookmarks".
• Personally I find it confusing that you abbreviate click-to-cure and click-to-cast both with C2C. But I guess that's possibly just me because my UI has both types of C2C on both group and raid windows.

Copy and paste the following into your C2C info box (too many typos to list individually) up until the examples you have in there. Fix the headline from "Instcutions & Exmaples" -> "Instructions & Examples" and above it "Legoned" -> "Legend" (personally I would just remove the "Legend" frame though):

I say you release with RoK and just wait to polish it a bit more.

I like Zonx's idea way more!

Added :)

That is by design, If there is no updates available nothing will be updated. To force an update you have to use the update button while said UI tab is active.

I can't reproduce this. I click update, the button changes to cancel I click it again and the update cancels. Does this even if I double click the button, our click it twice with a small pause.

Fixed, it will not close if you do not have it set that way in the settings.

Working on Borg9's list *kicks desk, walks away grumbling*
