downloaded UI isn't coming up when i log in

[supar]

Someone plz help-

I recently downloaded the ProfitUI, and i followed all the steps, downloaded it, unzipped the files and put them in my EQ2 folder. However when I log in it still doesn't show the one I downloaded. I tried /load_uisettings but didnt see ProfitUI there either. I'm not sure what to do, I tried the FAQ but didn't get a word of it lol.

Again I've downloaded the files, unzipped them and put them in my EQ2 folder (I was helped by someone) but it still isn't showing it when I log in.

Thanks-

In the C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II folder you should have an EQ2.ini file that has a line that is similar to this:

cl_ui_skinname UINameHere

where UINameHere is the exact name of the UI folder that should be located in C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\UINameHere.

Make sure that you don't have a duplicate name like this:

C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\UINameHere\UINameHere

or some such. Hope that helps.

Well I have a folder in the eq2 folder you were talking about that says UI, however it doesn't have the link like u say skiname_ something, the folder name is just UI, and it's in my eq2 folder, when I double click that it opens up a link to the ProfitUI i downloaded, which I put in there.

Still isn't working =/

Well i just found something but i 90% think it has nothing to do with it, i have a folder called uibuilder and it isnt unzipped yet, should i unzip it or will that help with anything?

In your C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuestII\UI folder, there should be the following folders; <Default>, <Fonts>, and <MYUI>, with <MYUI> being the folder you put your custom UI files into. Yes, you can name it about anything you want, but it HAS to match what is in the .ini file. I would chose something easy, no spaces or fancy characters, and not real long. Mine is called MAPS, because that was the first mod I put in. All my mods go in there. My .ini file is as follows:

cl_ui_skinname MAPS
cl_ui_subdir UI/

When you open the UI\MYUI folder, you should have the custom .XML files and any support files and folders that go with it.

Don't give up, there is always someone here that can help steer you in the right direction.

For ProfitUI just follow the ProfitUI installation instructions for either the manual or the auto-updating download, you do not need to edit any files.

Wait hold on, someone told me I had to load notepad and make the following text file about the
cl_ui_skinname ProfitUI
cl_ui_subdir UI/

I went ahead and made a text file and copy/pasted this in. Then i saved it in my eq2 folder, however when i go there and click on the folder that it saved my text file, instead of saying the the code it said: Cannot find xml. files Cannot find xml.files

I have no idea what went wrong, I made the textile like someone said and saved it in my eq2 folder. To the person who asked me to check if there was a MYUI folder in my eq2/UI folder there isnt lol. There is only fonts and defaults however there is a ProfitUI folder but i saved it in there. Do i need to reinstall the profit UI? i have a whole separate folder called 2.02325 or something like that that has ALL of the profitUI stuff i think, I already said sent to my eq2 folder and I guess it showed up but not sure.

No success yet, though ty for all the help so far plz keep posting
