Tooltips not displaying text

[Sagdalon]

Hello,

Since the update the new tooltips are not displaying any text. They display the bullet points as well as the icons for the combat arts and spells, but not the text. Anyone have any ideas where I should be looking to fix this?

Thanks,

Sagdalon

its most probably the custom inventory, I had the same problem, deleted the custom bags and repatched the inventory files - now tooltips are fine.

Too bad though, I really liked my custom bags...

give the authors a few days to update everything, theres so many changes and they usually have more than 1 interface to update so it takes a while.

To get my tooltip text to show, I had to stop using a maintained spell mod that I was using that came with a eq2_uifonts.xml file. Once I deleted that, the tooltips worked again, but the mod didn't work anymore

This is caused by using a custom eq2ui_fonts file. You'll need to add the lines to your custom version that were added to the default one as shown on the compare page.

I don't have a custom fonts file, yet I am getting an incompatible tooltips message. Any idea where this is set? I don't have a complete set, but various custom pieces.

All right, I answered my own question. In my case, it was the examine window that was part of the Fetish Market window. Apparently, this window is used for certain tooltips as well. It didn't break the Fetish Market, though I'm sure some features were lost. Not as lost as I was without my tooltips - dang spell icons look too similar.

This is the change listed on the Compare screen for the Fonts XML file. If this is cut and pasted into your modded Fonts File will it fix the tooltip problem?



<TextStyle Algorithm="Simple" FontName="Zapf Calligraphic 801 Bold BT" Language="english" Name="Font_Tooltip" PointSize="15" PrivateFontPath="UI/Fonts/zcal801b.TTF" UseCachedFont="true"/>

Yes, add that line to your custom fonts.xml file that is in your custom UI directory.

Then the tooltips will have text.
