ThorUI AU (Auto Update) [Interface Discussion]

ThorUI AU (Auto Update)

(It has arrived)

Opening Interface Discussion Thread for the new ThorUI AU!

Note: If you're having issues downloading/updating please be patient (i'm currently hosting the actual interface items until we can find a home for them and my web host hasn't been the most reliable lately...)

Also:

If you decide to stop using an interface piece you will need to "uncheck it within the updater" and manually delete the file within the thorui. (If you're unsure about this simply "uncheck the option" then delete the entire thorui folder and the autoupdater will redownload everything for you)

Thank you all
It's the combined knowledge and effort of the entire EQ2Interface Community that has made the ThorUI AU what it is today!
(Interface Author - Interface User)


Help others:
Be sure to tell others in game about ThorUI AU. (I've provided a QuickChat option that has all the info. Press "O" for the socials window and it wil be the bottom button.
Since we have the Auto Updater now, there's a good chance we may lose our spot in the "Most Downloads" section. This gives even more reason to ensure you rate the ThorUI AU and also add it to your favorites so that others may know what the overal EQ2UI Community thinks.
So please:
If you try it - Rate it
If you use it - Add it to your Favorites (It's under the "download" button)

Send your suggestions/comments to [email protected]

[Faetyl]

Are you an interface author that would like to see your work included as an option in the ThorUI AU?

Do you use the ThorUI but like another author's mod that isn't currently included in the ThorUI AU?

Are you using a current interface where the original interface author has gone MIA "Missing in Action" but you would like to continue using those items?

Email [email protected] and we'll see what we can do about that.

[Faetyl]

I wanted to publicly acknowledge and thank eqmrnice for creating the Auto Updater for the ThorUI.

He has spent untold hours/days/weeks working on building this from the ground up.

Please join me in sending him a thank you email to: [email protected]

His dedication and attention to detail will be making all of our lives much easier and we can all spend more time playing than fighting with an interface.

Getting the problem of: "Not authorized to view this file" When i try to download...Now im stuck waiting with no new ui

Very nice.

The filter over writes my filters. I unchecked the option but it still puts your filters in and over writes mine.

Have you deleted the ThorUI Directory? Unchecking a feature just means it will no longer update but as a security precaution we don't allow the AU to delete anything.

Try deleting the thorui directory and updating again. Things should work fine.

[draig]

how do I disable certain features have tried unticking but they still come back, ie that casr bar and breathing indicator bug the hell out of me, also have unticked gridlines on map and they still show.

Does unticking features disable them or stop them from updating ?

[Faetyl]

Unchecking features does NOT remove the feature from the thorui directory.
We thought it best to not delete files from your computer
After unchecking/deselecting a feature, simply delete the thorui folder and then re-run the AU

You can look at the mods before selecting them by clicking the "..." next to each feature.

I have tried this twice now and the LoadMap option is still coming up in my UI.

Any ideas here?

Thanks and great work,

One of the first EQ2 UI I tried was EQ2Map. I'm hooked and gotta have it. But Thor UI AU has alot I would like to try as well. I did not see EQ2Map in the Advanced portion of the AU. Soooooo... The million plat question... Can I have both and if so, how do I do it. TIA

[Faetyl]

You most certainly can have both, and I would pretty much quit playing EQ2 if i couldn't have eq2maps
Simply install ThorUI AU then click the advanced button.
Under the options tab you will see the first browse to field.
Simply browse to your eq2map updater executable and then select launch app when close.
This will automatically launch the eq2map updater after the ThorUI AU is closed.
Note: you can configure it to automatically launch as soon as it's done updating as well.
That's it, eq2map will detect the new ui and will download all the necesary files for you.

Hey...just a question...I programmed the Auto Updater to detect the install of EQ Maps automatically...did you install eqmaps to a non-default location?

I tradeskill a lot and like the tradeskilll window mod. I am having a problem with it thou. When I am done with a combine, by clicking the <Recipies> button, it returns me to the recipe list window, but the scroll bar is always sized as if the window contained all the recipies, that is it is full size. So if I have a recipe that is farther down the list I can not scroll down to it. The fix I have found is to refilter the list and then scroll bar is correct size, also opening and closing the recipe window does not fix the scroll bar either.

I mentioned earlier about your filter list. I deleted the ui/thorui directory but the list came up any way. I have manually deleted the filters from within game to see if that will work, but servers went down before I saw if it worked.

[Faetyl]

I'm aware of that issue and the best "work-a-round" is to click a recipe then the window updates and your scroll bar "should" update and appear.

As for my recipe filter: make sure you have deselected it within the ThorUI AU. Once that is done all you need do is copy your version back in or delete my filters in came and set your's back up.

The ThorUI AU won't update a feature unless you have it selected within the features page.

There seems to be a problem with the trade window. I was given some money earlier and the trade window did not update in the display the money given to me, but it will show what money I have placed in trade. The items appear correctly when tested.

[Faetyl]

Confirmed
Thank you very much for verifying this prior to posting.
I'll get right on an update.
---------------------
Ok it's fixed.
I'll be removing the 3 extra trade slots soon i guess as it doesn't look like they will be allowing 9 slot trades any longer...
---------------------
Removed extra trade slots that SOE disabled.

Been away for a while, so I read all posts about your UI Thor....

I followed all instructions, but somehow after installing and choosing what features I wanted...I loaded game and still getting default UI. Any idea what I am doing incorrectly?

In my directory under Program Files, Sony, Everquest II, UI there isn't a ThorUI there?? Could that be it?

If I can't get it resolved I hope to catch you on TS and you can fix it via VNC. LOL

Thanks a bunch,

Jev

Hi...make sure that in ADVANCED you have the correct path to everquest. If that is not correct, ThorUI tends not to go in the place you'd expect it.

[peallen42]

I see no advanced button in the auto updater, and the text is all funky in the AU. Suggestions pls

[taco-man]

off hand i would guess that you have your computers dpi set to something other than the normal (which is 96)

[peallen42]

text set at medium

i see advanced when i 1st set it up, then i tryed to download updated file and, restartes the AU. The restarted AU doesnt show advanced button and text is show your commands and everything:
