eXtremeUI

Concerning the effects bar: When in double row mode (the '-' showing), the bottom of the effects bar cuts off the top of the inventory window (the part that shows your weight carried). I have not tried to move the inventory window yet. This is not a critical problem, just pointing it out.
Also, the number of buffs showing in the effects bar is 1 more than the width of the effects bar (thus, outside the bar), with the rest wrapping to the second row.

Concerning the eXtreme tracking window: I haven't tried lately as I switched to the OCD (Jaxel's) tracking window, but I could not resize the tracking window to make it skinnier (i.e. in the horizontal direction).

I just wanted to say thanks for making this UI. I love it. There have been a few Problems but i have been following the progress, and It looks like Things are really coming together. I was having Problems with the maps in the commonlands. You all are on top of things so much that i just had to check here and the solutions was already posted. I have to wait to get home to check to see if it worked but i have faith in all your tallents.

GOOD WORK EVERYONE!!!!

Best UI i have seen!.

my last post wasn't very clear i check the box in the updater and reinstalled the ui after completely deleting the custom ui folder and run the updater and chose not to update that file when the box pops up on the updater thats it. I ment the map mod that came with it. not a seperate file and i was still haven the problems. as far what i was talking about this the black and while maps i figured it out the image is not there it just a blank map that shows the area you have uncovered. you can use the drop down to fix but thats getting old no offence. Something is causeing wrong map file to come up or none at all. any more sugestions would be great if you notice that i'm doing something wrong. I don't have this problem with out the ui.

Ok, I downloaded the Auto EQ2map updater thing, Updated all of the files ( i have like 200 out of date file, it took a while lol) And I get on the game trying to get to a /loc using the map I minimize it, so I can see where I am going, Once I found the /loc I was looking for I try to click it to recieve a waypoint, well when I clicked... it went *poof* So i brought the map up again (it was still minimized) So I click to normalize it, and *poof* there it went again. Then I brought it up again, and it was really dorked up. the map was hanging off the edges (past the bottom bar that says fp area, qeynos area) and also overflowing on the right side. I click the map, and *poof* now I am getting frustrated lol. So I go afk for a few minutes, I come back bring the map up, try to normalize it, and it did what it was supposed to, it normalized, I click for the waypoint, and I get my waypoint. This part is a bit hard for me to explain. I am running towards my desired /loc and all of a sudden the little red triangle that shows where I am, runs off the map. It was sitting about an inch off of the actual map, then *poof* lol it disappears.

OK i just founf a guhe bug, yesterday i was at Zek, and i got a "choose items for reward" and the accept button would not appera, and i just lost a really useful book, and a really good weappon that i could use, so please try to fix that before someone else gets the same thing...

[Peyoten]

You shouldnt have LOST anything. My friend has the same thing and the quest selection has stayed up for 2 days of him logging into game. If its completely disappeared its one thing but at least in my friends case the ability to select it is staying with the character.

Also if its still there and its that great of an issue delete the eq2ui.ini...go in with default and select your quest item and then reload the UI.

The author knows about the problem and I'm sure hes working to fix it.

Update: If I try to move the dropdown inventory window, it moves the whole weapon/activatable/coin info window, so the default position for the dropdown inventory window needs to be lower on the screen to avoid the overlapping expanded effects window.

-NM- I see what your talking about.. the label and weight read out is a bit under the effects window.. Hmm Not sure thats a real issue but I'll move it down so its just above the name.

Expect a minor update tonight to fixe the rewords window and some minor changes.

This WILL be fixed in the next update. I have no clue as to why some are not getting the scroll bar to scroll through the selections.

When you update all files it overwrites mainhud_map.xml

See post #363 above for fix.

Ok besides all that, the attached picture is of my eq folder. There are a lot of configureation files, and I am just wondering if they are all nessessary. Also if there a way to delete everything that came with the extreme UI at one when I am ready to download the new update? And also, how come some of the file names are blue, while the others are black? I am computer nub, and Ive been wondering this for a while hehe. ok it resized the picture, so if you cant see it could you possibly tell me how to get it to NOT resize it lol

Omegaslover you have it extracted into the wrong folder/directory. It should look like the screen shot I posted. You have to extract it into the UI folder/directory. Extracting it there will add 1 folder/directory and 3 html files. The html files are just release nots and junk. There is only 2 files that you need to bring out of the eXtreme directory's and thats ur eq2ui_settings file and the eq2ui.ini file.

There is just so many files in there now that don't need to be there. Extract eXtreme in the UI folder then what ever file is in the extrme folder U need to delet from the everquest2 folder. Well u don't have to but it does cludder it up.

[Landiin]

If you can't find eXtreme in the download section it is because an admin has not yet aproved the update. Check back later and I am sure it will be ready for you to down load.



Update 1.12.6

===============

• Rewords Window ‘should’ be fixed.
• * IMPORTANT * eXtreme now uses special fonts in some cases, so you MUST extract this into the UI directory in order for the fonts to be placed in the correct place.
• Converted more labels to use textstyles.
• Minor changes here and there that I can’t recall.

[Baronken]

I see that you have addressed the issues I brought up, thanks I'll post the screenshot anyway. You can see the expanded effects window covering part of the weight text from the inventory. Also, I was using Mackgee's 'fix' for the squished exp, but it is still partly cutoff (can't wait to try 1.12.6 tonight).

Another issue I noticed is that the Quest window and Effects window are in front of chat bubbles (e.g. when I was listening to the Harclave story. I should have screencapped it). The Inventory window, however, is behind the chat bubble (as it should be).
Basically what happens is the Quest window and the Effects window block out part of the chat bubble (you can turn your character or look up to get the chat bubble down into the center of your screen though.


Note: I am using OCD's target/implied target windows, HO window, and tracking window.
I have also modified the guildlogo.dds (that was fun trying to figure that out).

Also note that I have 2 rows of hotkeys along with the maintained spells bar (which leaves a small gap on either side, but I can live with it).

Edit: Please do not embed images larger than 1024x768.

[Landiin]

Ok here is a start of the 1024 x XXXX option. What do you 1024 guys think. It prob would work well for the 1200 x XXX group too.

[Peyoten]

Hmmm how do you change the colors on the UI? Wasn't aware you could do that.

See this thread for the Addon pack.

[heidrickla]

Soon to come.. Hopefully will be ready by 1.12.7:
-Tradeskill window with mini-maintained buffs and success / failure indicator for tradeskill events.
-Icons back in skills window
-Market window modifications mostly just cosmetic but some functionality changes.
Note these are just my changes Landiin will include other changes as well. Give us some feedback on what you guys would like to see. We've got things running pretty smooth now. So lets hear what you guys think. Also if anyone runs at 1920x1440 in window'd mode (only way to achieve higher than 1600x1200) I have an ini available if interested. Screenshot included and reduced in size and quality to fit maximum post size of 350kb. Note the background is a custom one I did and will be availabe in a future background add on.

[bakes]

I run 1920x1200 (As big as my laptop will go hehe) But if you have one in that vacinty will work =) That BG was a lil too busy for me but Im sure others will like it

OK I do extract into the UI folder, although there may have been a time where i didnt on accident but anywho, I think the reason its so cluttered is because the copy and paste folder, I open it and copy and paste every single one into the eq2 folder. Then when I delete for the update, I don't delete anything from my eq2 folder. Im going to go delete everything, then get the update, it should look much better then.. also.. Heidrickla, I love the color you have for the background of the UI, I didnt see it in the addon that I got, Did I perhaps miss it?

[dysphunktion]

I absolutely adore the interface. I'm just curious as to what you have in store for us 1024x768 people? As I'm sure you know, the alignment at that res is completely insane. Any plans to get something setup for us low res ppl?

Here's the 1920xXXXX ini enjoy. I use a different HO window so you will have to move that. rest should be good though. Rename to match your server and character.

[maglocked]

Ya got my vote for the 1024-xxx interface shown in 391..looking forward to playing with that as my UI
