There is a 1424x768 or 1480x960 that will get you super close and only need miner adjustments.

I love the UI so far, except for a small problem. Everything looks like it does on your screenshot, except that there is no chat window in the lower left hand corner. There's a big blank black spot. Right clicking doesn't give the options of unlocking the window. Any ideas what's up?

EDIT: I fiddled around and found a fix myself - just thought I'd post it in case others had the same issue. All I did was right click on the chat window I could see, and select "Open existing chat window" and the other one popped up right where it should be.

I had planned on adding something like that to the AUCP but then I started playing again. So all of my dev time is being taken up by play time:/ When I hit 70 ( 46 ATM ) I'll have more time to for the AUCP.

Landiin, I will contact you with all the steps that I did for install and un-install/testing.

Thanks for the help.

I installed eXtrmeme and didn't care for it.. I un-installed using the option you provided now EQ crashes during the game. I am getting errors and blue screens.

Any thoughts?

I don't see how that is possible being it's only a UI being the only thing the uninstaller does is remove the eXtreme directory's and the eq2.ini file from the main EverQuestII directory. If eq2.ini didn't get removed, remove it and see if that works.

Have you patched after uninstalling eXtreme? If not patch the game. Have you tried rebooting after installing? It shouldn't be needed but every one has their own comp configured differently.

eXtreme, the AUCP, installer or uninstaller does not touch the game code at all. It only modifies the eXtremeUI and/or EQ2MAP with in the eXtremeUI. Removing eq2.ini will hold the game from using any ui but default.

When reporting something like this it's normally a good idea to post what you have tried to fix it, so the author can better assist you with your issues.

With all that said, what was it you didn't care for if I may ask?

I'm just not understanding how uninstalling eXtreme will cause your game to crash. It doesn't touch any game file, even if it did, it would get patched when you ran the game normally. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying your imagining this but I just can't grasp how it could cause it.

I've installed and installed what has to be 100 time trying to recreate the issue you guys are talking about but it never happens.

Killerisme, Do you crash while zoning if you play via the AUCP, the launchpad or both?

I've found that if I play the game by bypassing the launchpad either directory or via AUCP I'll get booted to char select more ofter then if I use the launchpad, either directly or via the AUCP. I'm guessing it is due to not having a cookie of you login/password from the launchpad. But that's just me guessing.

Killerisme, Do you crash while zoning if you play via the AUCP, the launchpad or both?

Both, doesnt happen everytime i zone but after i start playing and zone a couple of times i get kicked back to the char select screen and for some reason it wont let me zone back in until i launch eq2 again. This UI is superb if only i could figure this out thanks LAND

[Gravdigr]

I haven't read back much but am curious. Will extreme be EoF ready at release? I been in beta for a while and no Extreme makes baby jesus cry.

I love your UI and everything you did with it and really don't like the idea of not playing eq2 till it's updated as I hate, hate, hate the default ui.

How much system ram are you playing with? As much as I hate to admit it eXtreme uses more memory they most other UI's because of the "dashboard" graphics. I've noticed this if I take out a stick of memory and play with 1G or less. Hopefully with EoF release it will relieve some of these issues as I have pretty much rebuild eXtreme from the ground up.

[Fearliss]

Even tho eq says they only changed one file eq_mainhud_guild... the game crashes upon trying to start up the custom UI. eq_mainhud_guild isnt even in the extreme file list so you cant remove it and use default. Also tried adding a default copy of that file into the extreme folder and that didnt work. Only way to access the game at all is to go back to default UI. Apparently this is a wide problem affecting most if not all custim UI's after this LU 27. So thought I would bring this up so you genuises can figure it out. I am lost without my extreme UI hehe. thanks.

[PilotMan]

I too had the same problem. Had to switch to the default UI.....OMG THE HORROR!!!!

[Kishan]

just delete inventory_inventory.xml and it works and wait for him to put out a non crashing fix

[Landiin]

eXtreme is now LU27 ready! Run the aucp to get the most current file(s).

[DysePro]

I can't get an item out of overflow now :/

Also, can't use or examine items in Inventory. I assume this was a quick fix since SoE Loves to Not give a specific date for updates so programmers are ready.

Keep up the great work... almost entire guild is now hooked on this.

You need to add the file aucp_QuickCharSwitch.xml to the exclude list in settings. If you don't that file will be updated/changed back to default every time you run AUCP. You will find the file at UI\eXtreme\user_settings\aucp_QuickCharSwitch.xml.

That is an image file and yes it can be changed. You first need to add ui\eXtreme\user_settings\images\guildlogo.dds to the exclude list. Then Create your own image and replace guildlog.dds with that one. If you have Photo Shop I have included a template for you to use. You can find the template in the same directory as the guildlogo.dds file.

Any new or lingering issues with new inventory window? New as of 9-11-2006.

HelloS,

first of all...awesome UI

But ...i got a slight problem with it...whenever i switch into windowed mode to check something on the Internet and then switch back to full screen mode it slightly messes up the UI.

The left buttom Chatbox gets moved down a few pixels and the result is that i can't see the text i input anymore...only solution i found so far is to unlock the window and manually move it up a bit which gets rather tedious after a while.

Same problem with some of the other windows like the Buff/Effect window for the current target which also obviously gets moved down a bit and overlaps the hitpoints of my char.

Any solution for this ? would be appreciated.

Yea, I have that problem too with the chat windows, as far as the target and implied target window, it will fix itself if you simply retarget.
As for a fix for the chat window, maybe Landiin can say something about it, but i have a feeling that we will have to live with it.

Am I missing something? I've run the AU twice since this post and nothing has been downloaded. It reads 371 files scanned; New 0; Current 370; Updated 0; Skipped 0; Downloaded 0/0. The difference between files scanned and files current makes me wonder what is missing.
