I've never modified or included this window in the thorui.

Might want to make sure none of the other mods you've been using have files in the thorui.

With that said, delete "eq2ui_options.xml" if it exists in the thorui as it's not mine ;)

PS to Lazaru5 big sorry and THX

Faelen 11-02-2005 09:47 AM

Hawk, make I'd suggest checking the path of your eq2 directori within the ThorUI AU again, just to be sure

Faetyl, I was just wondering if you might know of a way to change the default webpage in the in-game browser, becomes a bit tedious to navigate to the right page all the time :P

Proxy/Firewall problem?
 
Hi,
tnx to all the ppl who contributed to this unique UI, you're great!!!

I'm using Thor UI at home without problems but when I try to install it on my PC at work (yes my work is to test new UI :p ) I notice a strange behaviour...

The auto-update starts and I can see the page with the News but I got this error message:

EXCEPTION in GetAFile
Local File Name: C:\Programmi\thorui\lock.txt
Remote RULhttp://thorui.thorsparks.com/autoupdate/lock.txt
Socket Error # 10061
Connection refused.
Update Server is locked. Please try again later!

I wonder if this is somehow related to my network configuration:
- I'm behind a firewall I cannot manage (whitout hacking it ;) )
- all IP ports except port 80 are open if the INITIATOR is INSIDE (actually I can use EQII client or EQIIMAP updater)
- to use port 80 I must configure the browser to use the proxy (again I cannot manage it)

There is a workaround to this situation? If not, can I manually download the UI?

Tnx in advance,
Chakkra

Hawkfamily 11-02-2005 10:02 AM

Thorui does`nt work
 
Hi again,

The Path is ok i checked it. Any other Idea? :confused: :confused: :confused:

i´m at the end of my ideas. :(

Hmmm.. The first file it tries to fetch is the lock file (we can lock folks out of the manifests if we are posting a major update). The GetAFile method is unable to connect to the server.

I use HTTP GET's on port 80 to download the files. However, your firewall may not like the fact that I don't identify the client real well. Check with your IT folks and see if only specific client's are allowed to request accross port 80.

I'm using a very popular and well-tested HTTP component to connect (INDY) but I might have to configure things differently to get it to pass tight security.

BTW - I have TWO firewalls and a locked down router where I develop this code and it passes through both very nicely.

Also, the sever could really really have been down. Or you might have the domain where we host on a do not visit list. If Faetyl's server is on an ISP that your company does not trust it could refuse the request.

TO test all this, go into your web-browser at work and enter the following URL:

http://thorui.thorsparks.com/autoupdate/lock.txt

if your web-browser can grab this file, then I have some more work to do :(
but if your web-browser chokes then it's a security setting and there's not much I can do about it from my end.

Well.. some clue as to the errors you are getting would be a nice start. Look inside the c:\program files\thorui folder for the log files. Send them to me at [email protected] and I'll see what's going on.

Hawkfamily 11-03-2005 03:06 AM

Well i got no errors but allso no changes it starts the normal ui, with first the downloads an than the gamestart. What is my mistake?

I think if fond my mistake i startet th wrong Prog. I´m allways started the EQ2.exe and not the EverQuest2.exe

but one little prb how can i start it with Thorui in German Lang? :confused:
if i start it manual it is in German! :confused: :confused:

chakkra 11-03-2005 03:16 AM

to MrNice:

I can easily fetch the lock file in the browser, the result is:

Use this file to lock the server when an update post is in progress. (LOCKED=YES will lock the clients from downloading stuff). 3rd line is message you want user to see.
LOCKED=NO
The Thor UI Auto Update server is locked for an update. Please check again in 10 minutes.

I hope this can help...

I'd like to see an option for Hotbars without the up/down arrows. I don't know if anyone is the same way but I only change my primary hotbar and without the up/down arrows I just use shift-1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

Or, perhaps a way to make it permanently invisible like when you turn off frames, etc.

I was using Mook's before, and its not too bad but would be even better if you could hide the up/down arrows permanently, unless you change the window settings.

Shok 11-03-2005 06:18 PM

Spell Effects/Maintained Spells windows?
 
I just installed ThorUI yesterday and everything seems to be working properly except for the Spell Effects and Maintained Spells windows. Basically what's happening on my system is that those two windows are still the default EQ2 style while everything else in my UI is the ThorUI style. Quite frankly, the default EQ2 UI is ugly and I'd really like my Spell Effects and Maintained Spells windows to look like the rest of the UI (i.e cleaner and smaller). I've searched the advanced tab in the AU for anything resembling a spell window mod but I've found nothing. Perhaps I'm missing it?

felix 11-03-2005 08:07 PM

i had this ui before awhile back before you made all these changed.. and for some reason when i type in my chars name and server name it doesn't set the ui for me.. like when it says ThorUI_1024x768_eq2_uisettings... you supposed to put the char name in the eq2 spot and server name in the uisettings spot right?

Faetyl 11-04-2005 02:29 AM

Hi felix,
Use the window wizard provided in the Auto Updater application if at all possible. (It simplifies the process) Just make sure you have the window setting config you wish to use selected as a download.

Faetyl 11-04-2005 02:33 AM

Hi Shok (cool name)
I never edited the maintained or effects windows but since SOE's last update I probably should.
I've been a bit unavailable lately due to personal matters but should become more available soon.
I'll be sure to add this to my todo list.

For now, you could do as I do and fade out the frame and backgrounds completely so you only see the spell icons.

Wish I could be more accomodating but time is against me on this one currently.

Good news to those who wanted a color change...
 
LU16 has some nice enhancements coming.
Check them out in test.

Some things that currently will require modification are:
1.) Inventory
2.) Persona
3.) Start Button (show/hide hood)

Let me know if yu see any more.

Ok.. your browser can see it but my HTTP client cannot...let me do some investigating this weekend...

Hey..one thought... does your company use a proxy server? If so I need to know. If I need to, I can add proxy support to the application.

Opps...just re-read your initial post. You ARE using a proxy server. That is the problem. I will work on adding Proxy Server support to the next update.

Eorendil 11-07-2005 08:27 PM

Okay.. I have a small problem. On Mahonri's shutdown piece, if I go ahead and modify it so that it has my character's names in it the updater see's it as not matching the updated file from the patcher. Is there any way of having the updater check the modified date of the changed file against the server version so that it sees the version on the local client as a newer file and then skips it instead of updating it?

Right now I backed that up and am only running the updater occasionally and then replacing that file.

Thanks,

You have two choices:

1. Check the box next to "Do Not Update if local file is newer" on the Options tab

or

2. Uncheck that particular window on the Features tab

Either will keep the file from being overwritten.

Eorendil 11-08-2005 08:50 AM

My bad. I didn't see that option.

I miss my Thor :(

Tried downloading the auto updater. When installing the AU it will freeze at 99% on the file icon_map3.dds I know there have been some others with this same issue, and have read through the forum, but Im still banging my head against the wall. I have deleted my Thor folder and tried again...no go. It has to be something very basic and silly on my side I am sure. I would greatly appreciate any help that can be thrown my way.

Can you post any error messages you get in the logs? That would give me a starting point. I could adjust the .dds files to use binary mode instead of ascii mode for downloads but I'm not sure that would fix your issue.

you can bypass this problem (not a fix), by deselecting the Map POI Icons in the Advanced section, forget which section exactly. if you have eq2map, then u wont loose the poi icons, they'll just be dots instead of nice icons.

hope this eases the frustration...

Since the inventory window changed today with LU #16, will we be getting an update to Jaxel's inventory window? I prefer that one, but the updater hasn't downloaded a new one and the slots are wrong now :)

Odds are, you'll have to ask Jaxel himself if/when an update to it will happen.

Faetyl 11-09-2005 06:28 PM

Yup, I can only be resposible for my own mods.
I will certainly try to get other author's mod updated as soon as they are availlable.
I've included full author credits and info on each mod item so feel free to click the "..." button and submit your inquiry to the original authors.

If you know for certain a mod has been updated and I haven't made the update available within the ThorUI AU, don't hesitate to let me know.

Broken/Missing Items since patch
 
Items I've seen that no longer work right, or are missing sections or information after the update include: Bank, Market, Store, Inventory (either version) and the Persona tab.

Looks like these all need to be updated to handle the new look and information provided after the latest patch. I know your all over it, just wanted to let you know what I had seen thus far.

Thanks!

Faetyl 11-10-2005 12:39 AM

Hey all

I just wanted to post a quick update.
You should have been seeing automatic updates throughout the day if your using my interface pieces. (If your using another author's mods there will be a delay as they have to post an update then I have to upload that to the ThorUI AU)

If an Author has posted an update and I haven't gotten to it yet, please let me know. ;)

I saved the store window for last as it's going to take a bit of time. (I'm on it now)

As always, let me know if you see any issues.

From what I can tell only outstanding issue is the store window for in house sales and a few windows with old frames.

Despach 11-10-2005 07:28 AM

Took me a bit of work, but got your UI all working and placed how I like it. Great UI thanks for all the hard work.

One request, is there a way to set the AA/AF command line in the EQ2.ini file? Currently the updater replaces the ini file everytime.

slaas 11-10-2005 10:10 AM

current problems with the UI (as at patch time 10 Nov 05)
 
Firstly let me extend my thanks to you and all the other modders who contributed to this fantastic UI.

OK current things not working right (mostly since LU16):-

1. Map POI's all missing for Antonica (no matter which mode I try).

2. Room trader/vault market browser won't detect the item from your trader board window when you click "find this item".

3. Can't adjust the size of the target window and the bottom half of the lower row of data is cut off.

4. The feature to let you log to other characters directly isn't working as it won't detect my other characters.

5. Can't close a lot of windows (inventory bags, bank bags, bank window, etc) usuing their "x" in the top right corner - it 'clicks' but nothing happens.

6. Journal not updating correctly - completed quest total not increasing when you complete a quest (mine is now over 10 behind my actual total!) and some quests not updating in the journal (e.g. still shows a spirit shard recovery quest when I have got the shard back)!

7. Persona Window - no paperdoll - that tab has been replaced by another tab that lets you adjust some character settings!

-EQ2Map project team is working on the map which should resolve these issues when they are done.

2. Room trader/vault market browser won't detect the item from your trader board window when you click "find this item".
-This is broken for now until I get more time. I did a quick fix to get users so they could atleast sell. I'll tackle the "find it" button soon.

3. Can't adjust the size of the target window and the bottom half of the lower row of data is cut off.
-Which target window do you use? I support 3 which to the best of my knowledge are all working. and there are 1 or 2 more by other authors.

4. The feature to let you log to other characters directly isn't working as it won't detect my other characters.
-You have to update the file manually by opening with notepad and changing character to your characters name and server to your servers name. (I'll get detailed instructions soon.) I just added my own version based off of Mahonri's version in order to match the new frames.

5. Can't close a lot of windows (inventory bags, bank bags, bank window, etc) usuing their "x" in the top right corner - it 'clicks' but nothing happens.
-My original versions had this issue but I resolved late last night. Can you verify by running the updater again and seeing if they download?

6. Journal not updating correctly - completed quest total not increasing when you complete a quest (mine is now over 10 behind my actual total!) and some quests not updating in the journal (e.g. still shows a spirit shard recovery quest when I have got the shard back)!
-Have to wait for the original author to update this one or I will have to take a stab at it.

7. Persona Window - no paperdoll - that tab has been replaced by another tab that lets you adjust some character settings!
-They added the options tab with LU16 and it has to be there to access those options. you will notice the show hood and show illusions buttons on the start button no longer funtion fully. The paper doll is accessable by clicking your name on the stat page. I'll add an actual button as soon as I am able.

Faetyl 11-10-2005 11:22 AM

There is a "do not update if file is newer" option within the options section.
Try that and let me know.

Ive Defected 11-10-2005 12:29 PM

ok only had a short time today to read so i apologize if ive repeated anything...

1 the show hood/illusion buttons on the start menu no longer work (due to them being accessed through your persona window now)

2 no food/drink slot in inv.

3 persona window not showing total days active

thats all ive had issues with...

-Sturmhmmer

Faetyl 11-10-2005 02:30 PM

SOE changed the options for show hood/illusions and that's what broke the startbar. I'll work on updating this but since they added those options to the persona window it's accessable therefore will come later. sorry

My inventory has all the updates but some didn't like it so may be using another authors version that's been included in the ThorUI AU.
You can switch to my version by going into options untill the other authors have a chance to update their versions.

I must have missed the total days active part. I'll add this to my list.

Thanks for your post!

view screen black out
 
I downloaded the Thor UI recently and I love it, I've never been big on downloading custom UI's but I'm really glad I decided to give this one a shot. But ever since I downloaded the UI, and switched to widescreen letterbox mode so I could use Faetyl's window set up, I have these constant occurrences of the viewing area getting blacked out, it comes and goes, flickers in and out at what seems to be completely sporadic intervals. Usually at the worst possible times, like when I'm fighting, on engage, or when fleeing enemies, but it does even happen when I'm just standing there not doing anything. It happens it 1st person view and 3rd person view. Any suggestions on how to fix this or get it to stop? It is extremely frustrating, but I deal with it cause the ThorUI is worth it. Thanks.

--Botcha

Well, I installed a new vidcard today and so far this problem hasn't repeated itself, so can ingnore this post for now. Thanks.
