Hi all. i got a weird problem and dont know if it happened after last update or not .when i try and fly a bird or when i examine an item the line which i choose from is not visible so when taking a bird i sort have to pick blindly a line for destination

Hi,

first at all your mod is awesome. it offers really great functionality, but i have on problem. i looked around, but couldn't find an answer. is it possible to include another font in your ui mod? i ask, because i come from germany and so i cannot read the letters "ä,ü,ö,ß" for example in the guild window. also i cannot type them into the broker window.

i'm not really familiar with xml, so i don't know if it is possible just to include another font there, so that it works.

thanks,
conjulio

first thx alot for the great ui and for all thoose updates

but with the current one and the live-update 10 i got a problem. I updated both at the same time so i can't realy say wich one causes the problem but since i did the font changed. Now a lot texts are thin, small and hard to read.
I had no luck finding a way to get back the font from before the update. Can anyone help me with this?

**Zonx** · #**531** 06-09-2005, 09:52 AM

SOE overhauled the font system so that its not possible to get exactly the same font appearnce as previously used in this set. The curent 4.2 version has been tweaked to get as close as possible with font smoothing enabled.

Unfortunately I had to reduce some font sizes to make this happen, which results in some illedgable text if smoothing is disabled. All fonts smaller than 16pt contained in _FetishStyles.xml were reduced 1 point size. You can try editing _FetishStyles.xml to increse the point size of fonts, but its likely to result in some text clipping.

Couple things I've noticed, but unsure if it's a result of the latest version:

- My framerate drops horribly with the Knowledge window open.

- The in-game browser seems to want to try to load a page automatically without pressing "GO". This is noticeable when I try to type in a URL I will get pauses in the game or if try to delete a URL it will keep refreshing the page.

Despach · #**533** 06-09-2005, 12:55 PM

Loving the work Zonx - thanks muchly.

Reading the enclosed doc sorted all my issues, except the reading before posting bit.

Nadav · #**534** 06-09-2005, 01:43 PM

I just installed the new UI, and all the goodies that go with it. I used the old Player INI file because the download didn't seem to come with one. I am having issues getting all my windows back and a lot of them seem to be missing graphics. I am new to this so I am most likely doing somthing wrong. HEEEELP...lol

Kenelm · #**535** 06-09-2005, 08:07 PM

Downloaded the new version and all went well the first day, now my quest journal is totally blank on completed and collections page while the main active quest page seems fine.

Any ideas?

Saeros · #**536** 06-09-2005, 09:37 PM

Is there a way to move the slider for the active quests to the bottom? I like the slider, but it doesn't work for me being on top.

Thanks.

BTW, if this has been answered, sorry. I couldn't find it. It's not very easy to look for information for just this interface.

existe · #**537** 06-09-2005, 09:55 PM

ESC keey seem to close the bags now, do not remember it doing that on 4.1

Thanks for your hard work

Chumba · #**538** 06-09-2005, 09:59 PM

Its back a few pages.

Code:

Chumba, yes you can tweak eq2ui_journals_active.xml to have the slider at top fairly easily. Add 16 to the vertical location (that's the second number) of the following objects. If they don't already have a location property, insert location="0,16"

JournalUpdate
JournalsQuestDetail
WC_Frame
WC_Backdrop

Try the one inthe downloads section->Interface pieces->misc items. Its under my name. Please let me know if it doesnt work anymore. You may have to page down a few times to find it.

dc_roenfanz · #**540** 06-10-2005, 12:28 AM

Nadav, This Mod doesn NEED an ini file. Nothing requires a preset destination, which is the only reason why others would include ini files in their mods.

It sounds to me like you misplaced your images files.

If you could, post screenshots of the problems you are having, I would appreciate it.

GlowingFauxPas · #**541** 06-10-2005, 01:56 AM

How does one sort the tracking window alphabetically using this mod?

Neural Nebula · #**542** 06-10-2005, 06:14 AM

Hello, I'm rather new to using custom UIs and I apologize beforehand if a solution to this predicament has been posted before.

I just downloaded the Fetish Nightfall UI today and was delighted at first until... I saw that my friend list was blank? Please, what is the remedy for this blooper? Since I'm not guilded in-game it's rather hard for me to find help with a long involving quest and such and I recently managed to grab onto a few people to do the Froglok quest with me but they weren't ready at the time. Now I can't see when or if they're even online right this moment - well actually I could but it's a waste of time individually searching for each person on player search.

Any heads-up on this situation will be graciously appreciated.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that not only is my friend list blank but I also can't add the names back to the list. My own attempt to cure the problem resulted in failure. I don't know how the eq2.ini file looked like before I modified it as the Read Me file instructed but I tried to get back the default UI by changing it to:

cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname Default

Is that correct? (Could someone paste what the eq2.ini file contains on default without any tweaks?) Well regardless of whether it's correct or not I relogged and got the old UI back - well, what looked like the default UI. But when I was in the game-world again my friend list had the same problem now as with the custom UI.

What is going on here?

EDIT 2: I switched onto the Fetish UI again and now noticed I can't check the mail kiosk, I double-click and no window pops up and I can no longer click on the kiosk thereafter. Would a reinstallation of the game get my friend list back and other errors fixed? I could supply pictures but I doubt they'd actually help with solving the problem. This is really putting me off modifying the normal UI now, no matter how useful an add-on may be.

Oh, I should mention that I didn't download just this today, I also downloaded the EQ2MAP and its updater and also the Quest Journal Window Mod.

I'm probably doing something wrong, but nonetheless this experience is causing me needless grief.

EDIT 3: I downloaded the generic character settings file thing which was recommended for solving some UI problems but it didn't seem to work for me, friend list is still blank.

Everything I do just seems to screw up my game even more...

I best just not do anything until I get a sure-fire solution.

EDIT 4: Well, my complaint may actually turn out to be invalid here. It turns out that my close friend who has never touched a custom interface has also lost his friend list which he discovered when he logged in today - same as me, I had my friend list yesterday but since I tried out the UI before I logged in today I pinned down all the blame down on it. I do so thoroughly apologize for bawling on this thread about a problem that has nothing to do with this custom interface. Looks like I have a bug report to SOE...

Feebb · #**543** 06-10-2005, 10:04 AM

Once Nightfall is instatted and working properly, can you start EQ2 using EQ2maps like normal? If not do you have to manually update the maps?
Thanks,
Feebb

How can I disable smoothing but keep ledgability?

Chumba · #**545** 06-11-2005, 10:48 AM

Fonts - if the unsmoothed are too ugly, there was a fonts XML file that Zonx once posted up here for me, I think its a bit back in the thread. I was having a problem months ago with unreadable fonts and this fixed it. If you can't find it let me know and I'll put that fonts XML file on my INI file dowload page, back in the downloads area.

And after you install EQ2maps FIRST, then FNF - you should be able to use the updater like normal to update your files and autolaunch EQ if you desire.

And there are instruction on how to disbale the disppearing scroll bars someplace back in this thread for those that are looking for it.

Zonx: suggestion - since this one comes up frequently could you maybe put an alternate version in the distro, something like PermaScroll_eq2_mainwhatever_bags.xml for people to just copy over the standard one (like you do with the personality bar and a few others).

Its already in there _simple_eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml.

The Doc file has also included a list of all alternate files with short descriptions since the 4.1 release. Its on page 2 I think, so should be prety obvious for anyone taking the time to read the docs.

Is there a way to set the state of the Persona window? This version is pretty great with all the info including gold and wieght all compacted, but it always comes up in the base long state, so I have to switch it back to the compact box size every time. I tried changing the true/false state of those option buttons in the builder, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Any suggestions?

thanks

Instructions for this are in the FetishNightfall.doc

Chumba · #**549** 06-12-2005, 05:03 PM

Heh - I havent read the docs since the version 3 stuff :-)

Thats why I asked it. guess I better go update my knowledge of FNF :-)
