Two Questions

Crystallyne.net · #1 03-07-2007, 03:57 PM

I've got 2 questions I'm hoping someone might know how to answer.

First... When I originally started using the Fetish UI mod, the stat bar always came up right away when logging in. But for awhile now (I think since before LU31, I don't remember when it started) whenever I log in my stat bar is gone. I have to turn it on manually every time I log in now. I know a friend who has the same problem. But then another friend of mine doesn't have the problem. Why isn't it staying up all the time?

Second... On a completely different subject, and not necessarily Fetish related... I have 3 chat windows, and the main chat window auto-fades after there isn't any chat there for several seconds. (It vanishes completely until I mouse over it, start to type something myself, or until something new comes up in my chat window.) The other two remain up all the time. Is there some way to either get all my chat windows to auto-fade, or to disable the auto-fade in the main chat window?

A: Custom windows like Personabar often do not save their settings unless you manually move them and tweak them via the "Window Settings" dialog.

To open the Personabar, use any of the following methods:

- Toggle the clock with Alt + C.
- Open the Persona window and click the small "P" button in the titlebar.
- Type the following chat command /show_window MainHud.Personabar (Caps matter).

As for the Chat windows, right click on the chatbox you like the fade settings of, and write them down, then open the window settings for the other two and change them to match.

For the first part... Yes I know how to open my persona bar when I log in. I would like to know if there is a way to FORCE it to ALWAYS be on, so I don't HAVE to turn it on every single time I log in a character.

For the second part... Your answer is completely unrelated to my question. I am asking about the AUTOFADE feature of the main chat window where it vanishes completely after several seconds without any chat. That has absolutely ~nothing~ to do with the window settings.

Thank you for the response... But missed the mark on both.

1. As pointed out in the post above your answer is given in the FAQ:

Q: How do I get my Persona Bar to open when I first log in?

A: Custom windows like Personabar often do not save their settings unless you manually move them and tweak them via the "Window Settings" dialog.

2. It absolutely has to do with window settings. Window Opacity should be set to the far left for AutoFade to kick in after a few seconds. Once the window fades it will reappear once new chat comes in but will autofade again after a minute or so.

1. The Persona bar can be set to always be open. But, after you set it to be open, and move it where you want it, you need to wait 2min for the settings to be backed up correctly. So, move it, set it, and wait a bit, before you log off the character.

2. The windows settings do NOT have anything to do with her error. I have my chat windows (all 5 of them) set to auto-fade. Sometimes, they work. Sometimes, they DONT. With no changes to the windows settings. I just deal with it, since I'm pretty sure its a SOE problem. The error window changes, without warning, and sometimes corrects itself. If the chat text is in the way, just right-click the window, and clear the text, after you have read it. The frames could still be in the way, so you might want to fade the frames also.

Sorry I couldn't give you a better fix.

OP's two secondary chat windows were not set to and fade (per the thread) and that needs to be set by the player initially. After that it should fade properly, unless the player gets the little soe bug that temporarily causes chat window's fade to bug out and not work properly. Usually camping and loading back in fixes it if it's bothering you that much.
