Here's my first stab at the Vertical Groupmembers window.
This one starts at the top and fills downward.
I'll be bringing the bottom to top and right to left versions out shortly.

Can everyone be thinking of what other window variation options you may like?

Feel free to post those suggestions here...

THANK YOU!!!!!! That horizontal bar was driving me NUTS!!! (I dont use a letterbox window mode while playing). Finally my other bars are not covered by the default area of the horizontal group window.

Thank you again.

And I dont mind numeric values on myself, but its just too busy for all teh group IMO

I included the "slim-n-trim" no values version of the vertical groupmember window as well.
Let me know if there's an issue with it.

**Faetyl** · #4 08-02-2005, 05:31 PM

I've opened a thread to post the beta groupmember window with variable fill options (Left to Right, Top to Bottom, Right to Left, and Bottom to Top)

I've also included a poll/vote option to decide if users want the numerical readouts for health & power.

Be sure to vote if you have a preference

I'm leaning more towards removing numerical values...

Im for top to bottom and no numerical values, healers may want the numerical data though Id imagine most use the health bars as indication.

Yo Faetyl, you're doing a tremendous job with this UI!!

Not quite sure if it can be done {but then again, I didn't think Goldi's EQ2/Start button mod (with all the extra buttons on it) could be done, either)....

Is it possible to add a button to the bank window that would allow you to open all the bags/containers a person may have in it (the shared slots could be included, or they could have their own button....either way works for me)?

I don't believe so, although you've sparked my interest/curiosity again so i'll do some more research on this subject.
See this post and others like it for more information:
http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=3773

Edit: This is not currently possible but I have a good "feeling" this is on it's way if viewers of the above post have submitted feedback.

I can however add a button to atleast open all of the bags that are on your character though and have been thinking about adding it to the bank and inventory windows.
Would you like that until the open all bank slots is an option?

ShadowProwler420 · #8 08-03-2005, 11:32 AM

Wow.....I guess I should make more use of the Search function on these forums to make sure the issue/request I post about is not already out there somewhere

Honestly, Faetyl....I (personally) wouldn't use the button very much, as I have that same command mapped to a key. Not sure about others that use this UI. But hey, this is your brainchild...you can add it if you want

Hello - I installed ThorUI and Ive never used one before but It seems to be really great. eyes still crossed over UI instructions (but I did it) - I only have 1 question not sure if its me or the system?

I cant seem to buy or sell anything in the game., All of the merchants are saying "You are too busy to do a merchant transaction at this time." I was able to bank after a sec - but my bags are getting full - checked the (Hotfixes) and I didn't know if one of them applied.

If someone could instruct me what to do in 2nd grade computerese Id hopefully be able to fix it -well maybe.

Elslight · #10 08-05-2005, 03:54 AM

Sorry had to write back - Went back in to see if I could figure out why I was showing so busy - Couldn't figure out why except too many cookies - Me eating them I mean. Sooo happened to notice an extra line over in the border to the left side of screen. Welp sure enought it was the merchant buy sell screen. So I just managed to grab ahold of it and pull it out. Boy do I feel dumb. he he. Reminds me of my dog Siberian Husky - He sticks his head ( Well part of his head anyway) Under the edge of the couch and thinks you cant see him. Poof he's invisible.- Again sorry if I worried you. Tinkerbell error.

I really think I like this UI. Thank You Must have taken a lot of hard work and dedication.

LOL, love the husky story!
Welcome to using the ThorUI and happy you found the issue.
Don't hesitate to post comments and suggestions here as they are ALWAYS welcome.

**Faetyl** · #12 08-05-2005, 04:07 PM

I'm posting beta version 4.7.1 in the beta section now.
This is an update to the 4.7.0 beta as Sony has applied LU13 to the test servers.
The "beta" is a fully working install that should actually be better than 4.6 in my oppinion. Just be sure to uninstall any earlier versions.
Also note: My installer used to NOT overwrite existing XML for fear of overwriting anything a user may have added as an additional mod.
I have since changed the installer to overwrite all files except the "notes1-4" so be sure to backup any 3rd party mods you may wish to use with the ThorUI.

**Faetyl** · #13 08-10-2005, 06:09 PM

For those of you who hate my installer but like something in the UI...
Here's the same files that I used to make the current release in zipped format with no installer and minus the UISwitcher to save space.

Some xml files that are included here are not available with the installer as they are "a work in progress". (Use these at your own risk.)

**Faetyl** · #14 08-11-2005, 03:37 AM

Tell me what you think, good, bad, ugly...
See attachements
Just download and place in the ThorUI folder overwriting any already existing...

Edited:
Uploaded in v4.8.1

I installed your UI yesterday and I really enjoy using this one. You've done some awesome work with the quest journal (heritage, writs ect.).

Theres one little thing that I noticed though, before this one I didnt use the black "movie screen"-like edge, which Im using now with your UI. My problem is though, that before I installed the UI my background screen (so ingame environmental objects like walls en trees in the distance) were clear, since I installed the UI it has become blurry.
Im not sure if its caused by the "movie-screen"-edge because it squeezes the screen and could distort certain graphics.
I always ran the game at high performance so I clicked that, with no change. I tried several other graphical options, but with no succes yet.

If anyone could help me with this, your help will be much appreciated.

Again, awesome UI and keep up the work

milquetowst is the brains behind the Quest Journal and should have full credit.
All I did was include it here with a few minor changes.

As for the graphic distortion.
Have you tried setting your in game options back to default?
Also, could you attach a screenshot of the issue.
I'm interested in traking this down.
To my knowledge UI's shouldn't cause a blurriness to occur.

Lyte · #17 08-11-2005, 04:06 PM

Haven't read the whole thread but I did recently download the UI. First, I must say your doing a great job and love it. One thing I have noticed when installing your program that when I look in the mirror I see a bunch of distorted colors. I can always see it when I get close to the mirror. It appears for me in the bottom right corner. If it's something on my end plz let me know, thanks.

Mirac also mentioned a graphic distortion just a couple post up.
Could you both attach sceenshots so I can see this?
I just logged in and took a couple screenys at full graphics with and without night vision near a mirror and didn't notice anything.
Does it appear without my UI?
Have you tried resetting to defaults on in game display settings?
If you use either of the first three circle buttons on the starmenu you without first setting up your own settings, you will load mine which may not be compatible with your graphics adapter. I'm grasping at straws now.

Sorry for the delay, but Im european.
I made 3 sets of screens and my own guess is that the use of the widescreen thing is causing the blurring.

You dont see much difference though, as the quality of the jpeg's arent full scale. You can see the difference best when looking at (screenshot) 21 and (screenshot) 22 and looking at the deputy halfling near the gate.

I run the game at 1024*768.

Vandyn · #20 08-12-2005, 07:33 AM

Hey Faetyl,

You got a great interface, one I've been using for awhile. My issue though has been constant since release 4.5 (dunno if this has been fixed yet, although latest version still has the same issue). When I load up the new version, alot of my windows (raid window, logout window) are completely black. Not only that but the my status (not group, just me) doesnt show my name or anything. The EQ button is black around the edges as well. Is this an incompatibilty issue? I've tried this with two different video cards and get the same result. It's because of this that I'm forced to use a version previous to 4.5. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you, I do see what your talking about with the blurriness.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the blurriness is happening on the default UI with the black border.

This appears to be a graphic card memory issue as the more "items" you have on your screen with an effect will require more memory from a graphic card.
Also, I'm no graphic card performance expert but I believe the more of a contrast you have on screen the harder your card/monitor has to work as well.

I'd actually love it if this was something I could fix but from the looks of it, it appears to be graphic card or Sony programing related.

Don't hesitate to correct me if you feel I am in the wrong though.

Hey,

Wanted to say that I love the interface. Awsome job. I was just hoping you could help me with a small problem. I'm unable to open my inventory. When I press 'I' and when I go to inventory on the EQ menu, nothing comes up.

Please Advise.

Thanks,

Kyle

I just revamped the inventory window to an extreemly slimmed down version that can be left minimized while playing to cast buffs and such. (This is straight from Sony's default Inventory window)
Are you using 4.8 or later?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
If all else fails, go in to the ThorUI folder and delete "eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml" then log back in and see if you have an inventory again.

Deidon · #24 08-12-2005, 02:54 PM

Hey,

I think this UI is amazing, but my inventory wont open. Any suggestions??

Thanks
