Click cures and ui video issues help

[PrincessAriel]

Hi

Sorry to bother everyone but I have this wierd thing going on every time a in game video plays when the video ends my hot bars shrink. The first one stays nomal but the other 9 the bottom half disappears and i have to make my entire group stop while I fix them. How do I fix this problem? Then my next problem is every time I zone to much or if I change characters at the character select when I come back in my click heals and click cures on the player window, raid window and group window won't work and I get a message "spell no long available". How do I fix that?


Thank you for your time

The hotbar shrink is a game bug if I remember correctly it has been going on for a few years and just hits random people at random times regardless of the Ui they use. Easiest way to quickly fix it would be to load_uisettings of an identically configured character.

The click to cures breaking is a bug with Profit that has existed forever or close to it. I have tried a few different methods of correcting it but I have found no good way to have it autodetect as it does and have it not break. To fix it you can try /show_window Custom.ProfitUI_SubClassDetector . That will fix it 90% of the time. It will break it if you use it when it is already properly detected though. If this fails you need to close and relaunch eq2 to fix the problem.

The original version of the subclass detector would update the subclass constantly OnHoverIn of the group/raid windows. I later removed that because it did not seem necessary anymore. If it's necessary again that might be the way to go. Slightly wasteful for those not suffering from the bug but should not have a noticeable impact unless you are really nervous with your mouse.

I tried the on hover in a while back. I think you suggested it back then as well . It has a side effect of breaking the click to cure fairly often for some reason though so I never released the change.

/load_uisettings at the chat window....then pick a character to load their ui setup.

Ah lol, sorry, should have known. So I suppose that dynamic data is really flaky then.

Well, here's a new suggestion then: you could always add a static configuration file (txt file) in addition to the dynamic data subclass detection. In the subclass detector, search the config file data first to see if for that character name/server combination a subclass is configured. If it is, use that and skip dynamic detection. If it isn't go through with the dynamic one.

I'll have to play with that idea and see what I can do.

Why does the detector bug it out? Can you detect when things are already setup properly? If not, why not setup a variable to prevent the trigger when things appear proper already. That, or clear the set information before triggering a new "refresh" of the detector.

[TalTal]

I tried detecting the unset condition and only running it then but it still bugged out. I'll admit I did not troubleshoot very long (It seemed pretty low priority to me since a command would usually fix it).

The only reason I played around with it at all was because it bugged every time you entered bg's and I wanted to prevent that.

I plan to revisit the issue soon though since I'm getting complaints about it again.

I solved that issue in eXtreme by adding a timer that checked the class on a text object being fed by DD to a text object that was set by the timer.

Logic goes something like;

TimerFires
-Var = gameDataClass.Text == TestClass.Text
if !var then run class detect script else reset timer.


Of course that isn't in SOE's defunct script language, you'll have to convert if you want to use it.

Thanks Landiin. I appreciate the tip.

Just want to let you know I figured out the hot bars shrinking thing. Once I adjust the hot bars size back to up 33 it stopped the bottom half of the hot bars disappearing all together. I tried putting them back down to 30 and once the video played they once again disappeared, went back up to 33 and it stopped it again.

Thanks

Thanks for the update. You might want to post that in the eq2 forums as well if you have not already. I saw a thread with someone complaining about it yesterday so I know it is still bothering people.
