lan - great work on this interface - best one out there!

two quick questions - i noticed the download file for the updater and ui is extreme_322 but the version listed on the main site is 3.23 - is that a typo?

in the most current version screenshots, it looks like the journal window has writ and hq tabs - yet the one on my setup is not showing those tabs. is there a seperate download for that?

thanks in advance,
jpardo

can anyone tell me how I can set it up so I don't have to turn off my wide screen every time I log in. I went to options and the the wide screen and turned them all the way down and it is fine for when I play but then I log off and come back in later I have to redo it all over again.

In the AUCP go to the ui settings client config. Under eq2.ini find the line that says something Like letterbox_amount and set that value to 0, click on save and you should be good from then on.

I personnally love the new broker window. Great Job. I would like to see a reset button put in on the buy window.

Thanks

Reset what? The word in the search text box?

I DLed it, but I cannot get it to look as good as all the screenshots. Is there anyway you can have a download that is optional to where you can select if you want to use the default UI placements like ThorUI? Because I love this, I just can't get it to look good.

Go into settings->ui->Client cong and under the eq2.ini group click default and save. Then under that group pick what char you are playing with and what resolution you use and click save. This should put your windows into place.

If you use another resolution besides what I have already made one for then pick one that is close and when in game unlock the windows and slide them into place, things should be close.

You can't really use the default UI settings with eXtreme because it combines the start, player, breath, spell casting and Maintained window all in one. The implied target window is also forced to show on top of the target window every time it is made visible.

Just gonna bullet them and see if they are an issue on your end or the server side.


1) Logging out with compare window open: if you do this the next time you log in the market window will have been resized to the compare size and will not go back to normal without dragging it to size

2) Sales tab: for some odd reason after you open and close the market window on the sales tab the slide on right will always be at the top, with default market window it stayed at bottom which is where all current sales data was listed.

3) Sales tab : Date and times of sales are being sorted incorrect, I have stuff that sold on the 24th in the middle of stuff that sold on the 26th, I have stuff that sold at 8am listed after stuff that sold at 10am. Take a look at your own you should be able to see it as well and I don't recall it from the default version.

4) General : not sure where this is happening at and how but I know it wasn't occurring until after install, but after logging out after using market window, when I log back in my backpack bags have lost their sticky locations.


Once again thanks for the great UI.

1. This is a result of the game saving the window size and location. The only way to stop it is to have the window reset to a set size every time it is open and I'm not sure every one would like that.
   
   The way it works is; when you go into Compare Price Mode it stores the windows size before it expands to the 2 pane. Then when you go back to then default mode it resizes the window based off what it saved. So if you log out with it in Compare Price Mode it loses that information (no way to save it) and the windows position and size is saved in the <char>_eq2_uisetitngs.ini file that size. So when you reenter the game it loads the values from the uisetitngs.ini file and the window is expanded.
   
2. All that is controlled by the game (hard coded). EQ2's UI scripting doesn't support code that will let you control that sort of thing. I'm not sure why it would act other then the same as default.
   
3. See 2
   
4. There isn't anything in my market window mod that would cause the bags to lose their location. With the new way SOE is doing the market/broker you don't even have to ref anything outside of the market window like you use to have to.
   
   The way SOE stores the UI data is still a mystery to us. Maybe replacing a window in its group could cause this. Kind of like if you get a new map mod it resets the fog of war.

Everytime i zone into another zone no matter which zone i keep getting in my chat window the following messages,
Teak saw, fishing pole, shovel, pick and trap items need to be equiped.

Also when switching from one toon to another my UI loses its colors going too just green and black colors on the bars for my tons health and other such info.


Thanks Tludian

This is a known SOE problem...search this post you you will see it metioned many times. The only way to get it fixed it to send a /bug report to SOE as often as possible.

Sorry, I Don't know how that pertains to the UI.

I downloaded extremeUI V2, but immidiately after I installed it, my AntiVir programm just started and reported the trojan virus TR/Dldr.Zlob.VV.2 in the uninstall/install/exe files of the AutoUpdater.

Any comments on this...?

I've decided to switch to my conj for a bit of fun

About a week ago I've dinged 50. But I didn't ... I got the xp and it put me over the 100% mark .. was like 100.8% ... so I didn't ding.. then I was told I had to switch to the default UI to ding .. so did the /loadui default .. killed one thing and behold the ding.

now the same thing happened with 51 .. I had to load the default inorder to ding 51 ... annoying ..

Is there a fix to this? Is this a UI issue or a Sony Issue?

Thanks

It's not a eXtreme UI thing, it's a SOE thing. Chances are if you would of killed that one thing you would of dinged using eXtreme. SOE has a bug with rounding so it will report 100 but you really hat 99.5 or >.

No clue! You may be having something that is attaching to them files on your end. Every update I do a scan with the latest update using AGV. This site scans for virus/Trojans, the hundreds of users that use extreme scans and your the only one to of ever report any thing like this. Or your anti virus prog blows /shrug.

To get the parse button to ungrey you have to have a log file selected in the settings. It's only used for the media player, it doesnt do any combat stats. I also have the media player removed in the dev version as no on really uses it and there are more powerful ones out you can use. Maybe when I get more time I'll add the parser back in or in another app.

Hmm combat log? The only thing I have on the right side of my screen is two chat windows that have my hits and hits me filter in them.

A sneak peek of upcoming changes to eXtreme

Keep in mind that this is in heavy dev and is basically a new skin for the none hud windows. You'll be also be able to use the old or new skin. People just wanting to use eXtreme skins can also just drop in the few files and the default window will be skinned.
