OMG you are right I cant see it but, it is there and works . Thank you so much, I don't care if I can see it just need it to work. Thanks again

I had someone with that problem with Profit, turned out they'd put the window_elements_generic.dds (among others) on the ignore list after they'd loaded in an alternate color scheme and then forgotten about it.

I had someone who kept saying they had all the updated files too, and after they renamed their folder and re-loaded, it was fine.

so /shrug, I know I'm still missing some updated elements though.

FilePath issues
 

There is a weird issue with filepaths. My EQ2 is buried under D:\Program Files (x86)\..\..\..\..\EQ2.exe and it doesn't resolve the full path correctly when launching. I did a procmon on javaw.exe and it bombs trying to open the process D:\Program.exe which tells me it's not treating the launch path correctly.

Any ideas? I tried quoting the full path to exe but it auto populates the current folder to the front of my quotes path. Can't seem to figure out a way around it.

I'm not too sure on that one. Maybe the file path is too long. I don't know enough about Java to say.

Launch Path Issue
 

Update: There is definitely some issues with length but even shortening the path I still had issues when the launch path has a space. I ended up creating a wrapper script that launches EQ2. I have DrumsUI Updater launch the script which then handles the launch of EQ2. Crappy workaround but it works.

I just leave the path blank and click exit. I only run the updater when there is something to actually update. I have a separate Shortcut to EverQuest2.exe itself when I want to launch the game (bypassing LaunchPad which I also run separately).

But, whatever works :)

It's a known behavior in the Java Runtime::exec() method. The obvious form takes a single string argument and tokenizes it on whitespace, first token being the program to run. Since the tokenizing ignores quotes, paths with whitespace in them cause problems. There's an alternate form that takes an array of strings which avoids that problem, but I'll bet the updater uses the single-string command-line version. Solutions are to put EQ2 in a path with no spaces in any of the parts, or make a wrapper .bat file located in such a path that runs the real launchpad.

Though I do as Mysstie does, I only run the updater when I'm expecting a UI update so I don't have it start anything. I use the EQ2Map updater to start the game, since I normally do want the maps updated before starting the game.

been getting that same error as of yesterday. ended up having to end the java update scheduler process in the task manager in order to get it to work.

If you go to Settings -> Updater -> Reset All Settings it will correct those errors. Might want to make a list of your ignored files first though. I had that happen yesterday as well.

That's a known issue Skitzo. The profit updater has the same problem at times. I cannot tell you the number of times I deleted java and reinstalled to try and fix. Sometimes it works for a while, then errors again. It's really all in java side of things. But it doesn't stop the updater from working.

I don't play caster classes much, but I noticed (as well as others in my guild) that when clicking a curable on a merc the in game response is that the merc cannot be found. However, targeting the merc and clicking cure from the hotbar works just fine - just not from the click cures.

Is there a work around for this as I'm not the only one experiencing this.

TIA

I think it has to do with mercs having spaces in their names, which breaks the commands used for click-to-cure. It can probably be switched to use the /cureplayer command which takes group/raid position, detriment type and (optional) spell/potion/pet flag, but Drums and Profit don't use that in the group window.

I've meant to supply a backup variable so that the mercs could be supported, at least for the English client, but I thought I read they fixed something about mercs and cure/casting commands. Maybe they only fixed one and not the other (wouldn't be surprised).

DrumsUI Updater Running Win XP
 

I keep getting the same error.
EverQuest2.exe not found
Please set your EverQuest II directory in "setting, filepaths" first !

I run the updater in Win XP by using Java and the Blue Drums Updater button as follows

Start application after update from choose button
C:/ Programs Files/Sony Online Entertainment/Installed Games/EverQuest II/EverQuest2.exe

The updater goes back the warning window EverQuest2.exe not found
Please set your Everquest II dirctory in "setting, filepaths" first !

Assuming you checked the filepath under settings/filepath try uninstall reinstall if dont work try reseting settings

This has stopped working for me.

I tried to double click the jnlp file and Windows doesn't know what to do with it.

I tried to install from the website over again and it just wants to download the same file to my hard drive.

Even after removing it from the Java list, Windows still just wants to download the file to my hdd and be oblivious as to its use.

Try re-installing Java

I went to the Java site, installed the latest version, and uninstalled the older version through the website two days ago.

The Java 7 Build 40 seems to be working fine. No errors since build 25, Try uninstalling Java via (Win 7) Control Panel>Programs and Features.

Be sure you have the correct Java download website. Some out there can be misleading.

1st Uninstall Java

Then use this Oracle link to install Java 7 build 40.

I already went through all that as I said.

Still some missing heroic character gfx, but you can still create one/update one.

Progress Window
 

The window showing the Adventure, Crafting & AA progress resets to center of screen every time I start the game or camp to a new character. I place in the top left corner and when ever i log to a character it's back to center screen. Any clue on what I need to do to fix this?

The XP bar?

Could be something with your xml uisettings file. Hard to say. You could try finding the Experience line in the file an deleteing it.

I'll give that a shot. Can you tell me the name of the file that I can look in? That'd be very helpful. Thanks.

It depends on your server, but this is mine:
Antonia Bayle_Drumstixx_eq2_uisettings.xml

I know you are busy with the new expan and all, hopefully you will see this eventually. I see that the char window has changed greatly. Very confusing but I will work through it eventually. The really big issue I am having is with the merc window. How do I get the merc back? The merc window has changed so much I can not understand it at the moment. But I desperately need to get my merc back without going back to Qeynos several times.

I am getting around this by using the command line to get it back, finally wrote it down so I could find it. Any chance of adding it to the window please? Having an extremely hard time without merc on all but my raid geared toon.

Yeah looking into it. I just used the format from default UI, so I'll try to get it tweaked up and more user friendly. They patch something tomorrow, so I'm waiting.

Mercenary
 

Hi, I can't seem to get my elite merc back. It says to click to unlock but it wont work for me. help please..

Thanks

Try resizing the whole Character window length when in the Merc selection area. It pulled the Unlock button into availability when I tried that.

Make sure to click the row of current merc, and then press the return button.

A fix for window resize bug is coming!

Earlier reply worked. Since I had made the char window larger some time ago, when the window was changed the Return button was covered over with the nonactive part. I had to return the window to it's smaller original size.

For those useing Windows 8.1
 

You will need to put the site in compatibility mode for the launch button to work correctly with Java installed. Hit Alt+X, select compatibility view settings, and add the site (this is after you click the file in the zip which is a shortcut to take you to the site).

I am having alot of issues trying to get the stat bar to show up for me, I can access both the drumsui menu and the stat bar menu but i cannot find the stat bar itself i have deleted and reinstalled i have used every command that i have seen on the forums trying to locate it and i still have not found it, my start menu is not the drums menu so i am not sure if that has something to do with it or not i have been trying to figure this out and i have ran out of ideas, i also used the flash command that you gave me as well, i logged into other characters and i could not find it on them either,

The Stat Menu is a replacement for the Start Button.

That is what i am having trouble with is the start button i cannot find it

The new Updater has been uploaded (once validated):
http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=4965

You can remove your old DrumsUI shortcuts.

The Updater is now installed via an Installer. The Updater will install like a normal windows program, complete with an Uninstall option in Control Panel, and a desktop shortcut. The updater will now check for local existing Java versions, and attempt to initialize a Java install if one doesn't exist.

There have been no actual updates to my UI pushed live yet, so there will be no updated files if you're already up to date. You WILL have to select your Updater options like you're installing new, and Ignore any files again that you may have had on Ignore before. I'll have an update uploaded incoming, including merc window updates and lots of other updates/changes.

As usual, please report any bugs.

Merc return Window
 

My merc return window shows a $hire$ button and I am able to click the button ( window size not an issue ). Nothing happens. I am unable to switch between mercs. I can use the /merc resume and bring the active monk back but I can not change to my healer merc. Would this be an issue with Drums or with Sony? Or would this be a user issue... IE ME...

The folks who use profit also have the issue, soe done something with the window and I recon he will get around to fixing it soon I hope as its been a pita.

Thanks for that update!
