Thanks for the fixes. However, there's still a problem with the hotbars. =/ While you did restore the little gray handle to the hotbars, it can only be used to move the hotbar once it is unlocked. It cannot be right-clicked on to bring up the hotbar context menu. In fact, it seems almost impossible to bring up the hotbar context menu now. Please see if you can get this fixed. Thanks a lot.

BLASTED HOT KEYS!!!

This probably occured in the latest update, but you can only get the hotkey window menu outside of the Iconbank. So it has to be at the VERY edge of the window.

Sweet thanks for the tip Death; I'll have my handle extend to the edge of the window so one can click on it.. OK OK I should say I'll try to lol..

Ok, I can now get the hotbar context menu to appear, but there's a new problem, lol. It is now impossible to get a hotbar to arrange itself into more than one row. I generally have several hotbars that I have in a 2x6 configuration. This configuration can no longer be obtained. Attempting to shorten the hotbar no longer makes it rearrange itself into multiple rows. The hotbar just snaps back to the full 1x12 length.

Don't really know what I can do about that, as that part is controlled souly by SOE. I'll look at it tonight but there isn't any script that I added that would prevent it from doing that. The hot keys seem to be in a state of FUBAR from LU31.

There are a couple of issues I see on SOE's side:

• If you have the icons set to super small, when you log back in the window/frame refuses to shrink around the iconbank and you have to manually adjust them.
• Context menu is only available if accessed in dead space.

Well until this most recent UI update, I had no problem getting hotbars into 2x6 configurations, so I have to imagine it's something you changed that is preventing this from happening now, but I could be wrong, I suppose.

Delete or rename eq2ui_mainhud_hotkeys.xml; doing this will revert the hotkeys back to default.

All I did to the hotkeys was shrink the dead space in the dfault and add the handle widget and thats it, nothing else was changed. As stated in my last post I'll have to login and play with them when I get home.

I feel like I may have irritated/offended you, and if so I apologize. It was not intentional. Just so you know, deleting the hotkey file allows me to once again get the hotbars into a 2x6 configuration, but also re-creates the problem of the hotbars not staying on top.

No no no, that isn't the case. I'm imposible to offend:)

It's just I get tired of them (SOE) Fixing things that arn't broke.

Maybe they don't like the handle I've added. I'll do some more on it tonight as see what happens.

Untill then you can edit default eq2ui_mainhud_hotkeys.xml so they stay on top. Just find the first <Page and after </page type in AlwaysOnTop="True". Then save it to the eXtreme directory.

Sorta tail-end charlie here, and I will try the same fix u mention. Mine were set in vertical configs and somehow they changed after I updated extreme today. I did update extreme b4 EQ2, so I'm clueless, but just volunteering my settings for info value.

Land, I think you made a slight typo in that last post. the AlwaysOnTop="True" comes after the first <page, not after </page, at least that's what worked for me. For anyone else out there who wants to be able to arrange their hotbars into multiple rows, but still have them always stay on top, my edited hotkey UI file is attached. It is just the default UI's hotbar file edited as Landiin suggested. The only minor problem with it is that it is somewhat difficult to get the right-click hotbar context menu to come up. You just have to click in the dead space around the hotbar. Thanks for letting me know how to get around this problem while you work on a more complete fix, Land.

Any one know why the error in the attached picture keeps popping up.

Also is there something that will show duration timers for buffs to include how long food and drink last.

last i am having problems with mouse over details in the options tooltips it is on but when i mouse over anyting i get no comparision window nor do i get stats on the item at all i have to right click and examine everything. imagine how much of a pain that is. can someone help me.

Yep im having same issue, my hotbars will not goto 12 across, 11 and 1 below it or just vertical. I have tried deleting hotbar file but still doesnt work, just starting happening a cpl of days ago, otherwise never a prob.

No fun with hotbars
 

Well yesterday (2/7/07) was an adventure. Everytime I logged off and got back on I had to reset my hotbars. :(
To reset horizontal to vertical I opened hotbar settings and slid the size adjuster to larger and watched the bar go from horizontal to vertical with various combinations in between. Once I attained the proper shape that I wanted, I set the size by typing in the figure I wanted in the size window. This worked for the 2 x 6 bar I wanted as well, I just had to be very careful sliding until the proper configuration occurred, then manually set the size again by typing in the figure. This worked for the time being, so I offer this temporary fix to any others who need it. If someone more knowledgable can offer a better fix, I'm all ears! :p

I'm working on the hot keys trying to get it to work with out dead space. I only had a small amount of time to work on it last night:( For now use MacDaddy62 posted file or smoknjoes41 work around until I can figure out a way to fixing the sizing issues. We may just be stuck with the default until they fix their fix.

i found for the hotbars that it was pretty good to use the default file but put the alwaysontop="True" in it works great no problems with UI in that aspect

Ok try this hot key file out. I havn't tested it at all but it should work. It has ~2px of dead space around its outer edge. When your mouse is over the window it will tent the dead space black allowing you to see it. No this can't be turned off, its there so you can see it.. hello.. lol j/k

Any way let me know if it works and junk. Remember you CAN NOT access the contect menu for window settings unless you right click in dead space. No a blank key slot dosn't count as dead space. Outer edge only if you want to access the window, hotkey, my Moms number context menu.

Edit: adding the file might help /shrug :eek:

Here is reversion 1.2; the background highlight should better now.

I am a newb to custom UIs. I heard how sweet Extreme was and decided to give it a shot! I ran the install set the character etc and all I have is my default UI scrambeled up all over the screen! No fancy ExtremeUI, could someone point me to th ehand holding post so I can try to get this installed?

Run the AUCP Start->Programs->eXtreme->AUCP

from the main menu go AUCP=>Settings in the left menu panel click on EQ2 client settings. You will then see on the right side a section called EQ2.ini set as default and then press the save button. If the save button is still grayed out toggle one of the true falses and the press save.

Landiin

can you help me with the problem of no mouse over comparison or any type of information at all or am i the only one with that problem

This is in your settings....not something eXtreme changes

i installed on another computer and checked all the settings it has something to do with the UI can someone tell me what file it would be and i will just replace that file with my default file

I'm not sure what you are referring to sp3nc3. Every thing I mouse over shows it's tool tip except for the target's effect and I know what is causing that just haven't came up with a work around for it yet.

Load into the game with the default UI (rename eq2.ini) and see if your tool tips are working.
