I am getting a bug when I am in my home opening my store. My chat log shows that the store has indeed been opened, yet I get no window showing up containing the store. I've tried resetting the opacity on the windows, but then again, it hasn't worked since the day I installed the ThorUI. Any suggestions or anyone know how this issue can be fixed? I really dont wanna uninstall the UI over something so trivial

**Faetyl** · #4 01-11-2006, 05:01 PM

1.) Sounds like you didn't use my window placements file. (That's fine but it usually keeps these issues from occuring)
2.) You "should" be able to "fix" the issue by going into in game options>user interface>uncheck "allow windows offscreen".

You may need to log out then back in, i'm not sure...
Another option is to use my window placements by running the window wizard.

My question is regarding my chat box. I've successfully downloaded the Thor application. I have the maps, the compass...etc...however, I can not unlock my chat boxes. I cannot reposition them or resize them in any way. Chat window options shows them to be 'unlocked'. I usually have 3 chat boxes lined up at the top of my screen. I couldn't get any of them to move and after sending them back to default ... I can't get anything to happen at all. Other than this issue I'm loving this application ... I so wish I had this to use many months ago.

Great interface btw, I have used it for almost a year and am overall very happy with it (much better than the SoE interface)

I have had issues with chat boxes lately too. Not sure when it started, but has been real noticeable the past week. The only way I have been able to reposition or resize them is to add an additional tab. Then I have to position my cursor in the upper right hand corner of the box to do anything. It will not allow me to resize or move if I try anywhere else.

I move my windows for different activities (raids, guild meetings, crafting), so loosing the ability to easily position my windows makes gameplay difficult.

I deleted the UI directory and ran the updated again with no luck in resolving the issue.

I also uninstalled Thor UI completely, and it seems to be an issue with how EQ2 treats the windows. If I turn it to frame only.. it still only allows me to move or resize where the tab used to be (the transparent area above the window).

**Faetyl** · #7 01-12-2006, 05:38 PM

Issue is most likely with your window placements file and not the UI.
Use window wizard provided within the AutoUpdater and this should resolve your issues.

Sanadee · #8 01-13-2006, 01:22 PM

Thx so much for your quick reply to my question. And forgive me for not being so computer literate here...i'm struggling. Re: my chat windows ... i used the window wizard and had some success in that i then had 'tabs' at least at the top of the chat box, which i did not have before, and i was able to locate the little * in the upper left hand corner and cld reposition the box but...I cld not resize it. Then when i tried to detach the different boxes and place them at the top of my screen the tab wld disappear and i could not move nor resize the box i was trying to place. The only way i cld get the i.e. "chat" tab to appear, once i detached it, was to add a tab, then it would show up. If i removed the tab then the chat tab would also disappear and i then could not reposition the box. I made sure all was unlocked.

Pls help...the chat box is taking up a large portion of my screen and i wld love to be able to separate the different tabs and place them at the top of my screen.

Thanks again.

ronser · #9 01-13-2006, 01:52 PM

Had the same prob Sanadee.

I was able to resize and move the window when I changed the position of the tabs to the bottom of the chatbox. When separating the tabs again its still not easy to catch the spot where you can resize/move the window, but it's doable

Try to catch it at the bottom of the window, where the Tab would normally sit, near some border line.

Hope that helps - good luck

edit: added missing word...

I am having problems removing Chat Boxes with the "Socials Tab" on the lower right, chosing the tabs to be on the bottom. I have 4 extra Chat boxes that appear everytime I login. I have problems when I was setting up the UI to the locations that I wanted the Chat boxes. The Chat boxes would get closed and I would add a new or open an existing one. None of the other 5 characters is having this problem. So, I most have done something incorrect in the beginning. I have tried everthing I know to get them to go away. If I click on the 'x' button the Chat boxes do not close. I can add them as new tabs and then remove them, but they come back the next time I login to play. Is their anyway to remove these Chat boxes permanetly?

**Faetyl** · #11 01-16-2006, 01:41 AM

You're characters ui_settings.ini file is corrupt and should be replaced/deleted.

Best way would be to delete it, then make a copy of one of your other characters file and rename to the character that had the issue.

Make sure all is done before logging in.

You may also use the window wizard within advanced options for my presets.

Waleska · #12 01-16-2006, 12:40 PM

I deleted the ui_settings.ini file, I copied of one of my other characters file and rename to the character that had the issue. Worked Great!!

Thanks for the Help!!

Just want to say that i love this UI...has made the game that much more fun. I have been having the issues that was stated about the showhood button....doesnt reshow if you click it you have to type in /showhood to see it.

Also I have been having issues with the nightvision...it hasnt worked for about a week or so now...not sure what to do?

**Faetyl** · #14 02-02-2006, 12:41 PM

SOE were working on the differences in /showhood and the different helms/hats.
To the best of my knowledge this was resolved and mine works on all my characters. Let me know if you still have trouble.

Nightvision requires you to be in atleast medium performance or it will not work at all. This and other information can be found by clicking on the "..." button next to each feature.

Hope this helps.

Is the UI now LU 19 compatible? I dont see the Thor UI screen when my game loads up?

And thanks for the speedy reply

LamgwinDorn · #16 02-02-2006, 03:45 PM

Have you made the UI Live update 19 compatible yet?

**Faetyl** · #17 02-02-2006, 04:17 PM

YES ThorUI is up to date and LU19 compatible.

Everyone should see the info page when launching the ThorUI AU
Please follow the instructions mentioned there as I have updated some of the file structure which requires you to delete the thorui folder in the UI directory and relaunch the ThorUI AU and allow it to redownload all files for the UI.

thegrimone · #18 02-06-2006, 05:51 AM

I can't seem to get the small target window to work. I tried several times but it always shows a large window.

Ok i got it to work somehow. Guess the hammer scared it.

grahambr · #19 02-12-2006, 02:55 PM

I've just created a new character and the chat window just started to not appear unless I started a camp to desktop. Then it would appear and I would cancel the camp and continue on. But recently even that doesn't work.

How can I get the chat window to appear? There is a space for it where I originally put it but just won't appear.

Ive removed THorUI folder and run the AU but no difference.

**Faetyl** · #20 02-13-2006, 09:22 AM

Your window placements file is bad.
type /load_uisettings whil ein game and try one of the available options.

I recently bought a new computer and downloaded the game along with the ThorUI (auto update). Everything is working well, as did before, with the exception that I no longer have a Heritage Quest tab in my journal. I have updated several times since, but cannot get this invaluable feature to restore (which I used routinely)...any suggestions? Thanks

**Faetyl** · #22 02-13-2006, 09:24 AM

All of the "extras" from the help window and journal window are in the infocenter. (you should have a book on your start button that opens it) if you use my start button mod.

Hello really like the UI can't live without it now. Onlt trouble I am having is A tendancy for the chat screen to black out. Do you think this would be a result of the above chat while zoning feature?

**Faetyl** · #24 02-18-2006, 11:00 AM

chat window blacking out issue is due to the window placements file aka servername_charactername_uisettings.ini

You can use one of the options i provide to resolve this.

**Faetyl** · #25 03-18-2006, 10:38 AM

I don't think so but there are three steps that you can do that usually fix any issue.
They are:
1.) Check to make sure you have the features you would like selected. (Doubt this pertains to you)
2.) Delete the "thorui" folder located here EverQuest II\UI\
3.) Log in and once in game type "/load_uisettings" and select one of the predefined window placement files. (Move/Re-arrange your window how you would like)

Let me know if you still have an issue.
