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.

Elslight, if you aren't using the included .ini files I suggest you start with extracting the one that most closely resembles your resolution, rename it to suit your character and server, and replace your existing one with the included one in your main EQ2 directory. Most of the windows in this UI should be visible to you if you do this.

Your personal health and power bars are in the experience window. If you can't see that window, alt X shows and hides it. If you ca't see the whole window, unlock it and stretch it horizontally. You cannot click on these bars to target yourself, but clicking on yourself in the group window works, and also the personal effects window, which is really just the player window modified.

The window with the plus signs is the player window I mentioned. Downloading the latest version of this UI will restore the backdrop btw. Clicking this window targets yourself.

The latest version of this UI makes the compass window resizable. Also you will need to make sure you are using the "detailed" con system with the arrows and not the frames to see the target windows proper. This issue may have been explained in greater detail somewhere else in this thread. Also pressing alt T makes the target windows show and hide. Hope that helps.

Ah nice, I might have missed that line. I didn't upgrade my exp window on purpose though, as I like the little sword where it is.

P.S. the weight display on the exp window is still being cut off when the max is 4 digits, with smooth fonts on. Not sure if that was fixed in 16.b tho.

Please ensure you are running 1.6b

Please start by using the included 1280 or 1024 ini file.

Got a wierd error Profit....

The Experience numbers look really wierd in Smooth Fonts... Attached Image

Can't tell what the numbers after the decimal point should be....Just let me know what I need to do to fix it...


Excellent UI btw!

Hantu 09-04-2005 08:31 PM

looks like .2 to me... have you tryed not using smooth fonts? 90% of the problems with special fonts are caused by Smooth Fonts

Kagnar 09-04-2005 08:38 PM

yeah i tried it without smooth fonts.....but it just doesn't look that great....hence why i was going to try to see if i could get it to work with the smooth fonts

Vindicis 09-04-2005 09:38 PM

I have the same problem when using smooth fonts as well.

Wiking 09-05-2005 03:40 AM

I have the same problem, with fonts messing up in the XP area. And I dont use smooth fonts.

Profit 09-05-2005 04:51 AM

The revised Exp area is designed for the new version of the highspeed font I included in the last 16.b update.

Please replace all copies of this you have and reboot your pc's.

taco-man 09-05-2005 04:53 AM

just to clarify for anyone replacing the font they have in thier windows font directory, you have to delete the old version of the font you are replacing before you put in the new version (or it wont work)

Did that when I installed 1.6b

I love this ui with a couple of exceptions!

The target and implied target boxes. Top of the screen just isnt condusive to me seeing them, I much prefer them at the bottom of the screen. Now, I know you can move them, but you end up with the titles still at the top which looks messy, and moving them to the bottom just doesnt work, mainly because they are so huge. Smaller target boxes without the title bar on would be fab.

Also, I find the self box at top right also out of my normal vision area when fighting, by the time I realise Im nearly dead, its too late. Any chance of a self box like you get in the group box on all the time? I used the horizontal group part and that seems to put me in automatically at the left side, which is fab, except when I aint grouped when it aint there.

An unholy alliance between your UI and Laffs Lite one would be fab, his bottom your top, but I understand why that wont happen. Just the 2 target boxes smaller and moveable to the bottom and a similar sized self box at the bottom would be ace tho.

Good work on the theme too, looks lovely.

Kali 09-05-2005 11:34 AM

Horizontal compact group window
 
Having a problem with the compact horizontal group window not showing the 6th member in the group. And yes, I've tried resizing the window, etc. and I am using the current version of the UI.

Great UI, BTW. :)

I also did that and am still experiencing the same graphical glitch.

Profit 09-05-2005 01:35 PM

Until Sony give us the ability to see "smooth" fonts in the UIBuilder it's going to be hard for us to envisage how it looks without switching to the game each change we try.

The UI was never intended to be used with smooth fonts.

In-correct - just resize the compass window and the place holders disappear.
Edit: Next version you can turn the title bars off.

Thanks :)

The problem with me keep changing stuff to suit individuals is that I start to loose what I set out to do.

I never intended to even release this UI, I've been using it since May but some urge made me post a screen shot.

Sorry, but small changes like you ask can easily be done by playing with the UIBuilder. I must stick to my original vision - it's already changed too much since releasing it.

Enob 09-05-2005 02:45 PM

Is there some sort of UI shell that is accessible in-game? Just wondering since there seem to be a lot of options to turn things off anf on that I am missing/dont know how to do.

thanks

Thanks for the clarification Profit

love this ui and use it on my live toons. Went to use it on test for first time today and realized that the persona window isn't updated (for LU13). Just wondering if you have one in the works (and or need a beta tester for one ;) )

thanks and keep up the good work!

I've done just that.. I've taken the latest Profit version, 1.6b, and loaded it up in the UIBuilder. I've also added a few mods that I enjoy over what comes with the complete Profit.. Like the 3/4 6-row bags, etc.. In the UIBuilder I've added my guild emblem to the load screen and to the Guild window on the upper right side. It's not something that can be shared out because the images have to be just-so..

So, just re-inforcing Profit by saying take what he gives us (love it) and then tweak to your own taste. Bottom line Profit is one of the cleanest, and most flexible mods I've seen and used. It is a great starting point for doing what you want to do. And contrary to popular belief you can drop parts of other mods over a complete set to change out one part for another..

Could you try deleting the persona window from the Profit folder? I wont be touching this window, so deleting it will force the use of the default.

I'll do that for the time being :D was just curious if you were gonna make one is all.

Dareon 09-08-2005 10:00 AM

First its very very nice, good job Profit :)

I have two problems:
1) The Position of Time is to much right. How can I change it? (I have a german version of Windows and german ver. of EQ2)



2) How can I get this bottom-window ?



thx for help.

JAsin 09-08-2005 11:14 AM

k i need some questions answered please

first how do i get my buffs to look like yours in the screenshot. mine look like the normal eq2 ui buffs.

second the blue bar across the bottom of the screen, how did you get that to show.

third the day and night icon below the compass? also the cords you have showing below the compass

then that 8 button bar to the right of your first hotkey row how did you have it show that? oh and you have no numbers or alt or ctrl showing in your hotkeys how did you do that too.

im new to eq2 :confused:
sorry so many questions but i enjoy your ui with what i have working and would like to have it look more like your screenshot. thanks.

Kagnar 09-08-2005 03:01 PM

I will try to answer some of these

Right click the maintained spells window and turn on the frame and titlebar...that should list the name and duration

Quote:

To get that to show the first time I had to move all my stuff up and there was the black background...might have to move it up some for the bar to show up.

Quote:

I think this is a frame and titlebar issue again, but dunno maybe Profit can answer this one

Quote:

That's the spell effects bar...not a hotkey bar....

The numbers on the hotkeys will go away if you turn off the frame or titlebar IIRC

Coming Soon...

Changes to 1.7
  • Support for Live Update #13 (DoF)
  • Target window titles can be turned off.
  • Target window now removes health/power bars for non-mobs and centers the name.
  • Optional 100% hotkeys.
  • All Hotkey versions now sizable! (needs frame turned on)
You will need to delete your existing Profit folder, otherwise the UI will no function correctly in Desert of Flames.

Smaller Maintained Effects Window
 
(some how i posed this in the wrong area man i feel dumb hehe) Neways...

Hey guys and gals I am not sure how Profit feels about it I know he wont make this a optional thing on his own so I took it and did the work my self and here is where you can download it

http://www.eq2interface.com/downloa...nfo.php?id=3969

NOTE: this is mod has not been made by Profit himself it is just a smaller slimed down version of his origonal maintained effects window which I have created if at ne time he wishes me not to share this as optional addition patch for his ui i will have it renamed and or removed from this website

war_child 09-12-2005 06:29 AM

Any hope for a 1900X1200 resoultion support?

Profit 09-12-2005 06:36 AM

In which way do you need support ?

Just take the UI and the 1280 file as a base, then move stuff around.

I will never have a chance to create any default UI file larger than 1280 because that is all my 19" LCD will go to.

Profit

JAsin 09-12-2005 11:35 AM

k dunno what i'm doing wrong but i have no maintained spells window the day and night icon (time?) doesnt show anywhere i got the loc to show though. Also the bottom blue bar still isnt showing. I moved everything put it on fullscreen and nothing. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks.

im playing in 1600x1200.

Hantu 09-12-2005 12:23 PM

you started out with the 1280x1024 uisettings.ini right? did the clock work when u used it? if so did you try moving that first? it doesn't exactually have a -always on top feature it can get hidden behind the target window as for the blue bar... it is only on the blank window which profit included so u can have a nice backdrop for your bars and char and what not you ahve to turn frame and title bar on in its windows options to have hte bar show up.... I do not beileve its on by defaults so u need ot turn it on as for the maintained spells try going into you options->controls->window keys->and add a toggle key for maintained and hit accept and try using the key combination to toggle it on or off also it is defaultly transparent so u cant see it try casting some buffs or what not that would go into it and it might show up if not hunt and peck around your screen till u see a popup for it then right click on it and bump the background on it so u can see it

Profit 09-12-2005 01:13 PM

Just to add - press ALT+M to toggle maintained and press F10 to show all windows with a black background - useful to find 'hidden' windows, F10 again to put back to normal.

1.7 coming real soon :)

If you go here you can find an update for 1600x1200 resolution. I am running those files and everything works fine for me.

If you have issues with it, I can't really help you because I can't remember if I've updated those files or not since I downloaded them. I have a few other mods that I've included that aren't Profit's so if you absolutely cannot get it running, I can send you my folder somehow and my INI file and it should work. The only difference is I've moved my windows around so that it doesn't look the same as Profit's original layout. Here's a screenshot. It's a little outdated but it's basically the same layout. If you like it, I can send it to you.

After i posted, i thought the same thing. Everything worked out great, love your mod and keep up the great work.

Vinar 09-12-2005 09:13 PM

Small bug noticed with 1.7?
 
I just upgraded to 1.7 and my the HP/MANA bars of the implied target are off center to the right and going into the quest window.

Like many others my clock is also gone.

Has anyone had this happen?
