Yeah, the profit market window has an image folder that is installed, it also overwrites a few files, i just don't know which file it overwrote and what i need to replace...

Thanx again for the help

Its got all the stats I listed above on the UI.


There is extra room on that tab for something, I am just not sure what to put there yet =(

Ok tried your window (is there a reason why on mine it shows options first? had to click over to see stats) and I must say...I like it actually.

As for what you could put in the rest of the section, heres a couple suggestions..

1) Toggle boxes for showing your bank items
2) Toggle boxes for showing the Market
3) Is it possible to include into it maybe the video settings such as Startbutton Command Center has in the tab? You know, just the basic settings tied to the tab and not the startbutton and make them customizable?
I use the command center just for the vid settings, the rest i could do without, but havent found a decent mod since way back on Goldi's that was small and simple and my command of xml skills aint that hot

but thats just suggestions not quite sure what it allows you to stick in there...

[Findarato]

I said it was rough, I didnt give any other parts a once over, just made sure the stats were in correctly. I will check the other tabs and see if they are giving fits when resized, I dont know what could have happened when I added a tab, but ok.


Mr. Profit guy might wana take a look at it, see if there is anything he wants to do.

I like the start button idea, all that is going to go right in there, I dont think the market or the bank buttons work there as they are already on the bank window, and the market dosent even work unless your close to the market guy so...

But I am glad its working. I did a rough test and the values showed up for a few(I only put in a coupple when I tested), then I finished up and posted it. I hope when I get it finished it can be included in the releases of Profit.

[Findarato]

Here is a screen shot, I have added some other things like changed the tabs to the old school profit tabs and tried to make the title bars actually look ok, but they need some work.

[Rumblebelly]

I have a tracking question. When I track, before I used this UI I would get an X on the map of what I was trying to track, but now I don't see any X. Is there a file I should delete to go back to my old map? Or does anyone know of another fix? Thanks!

[Tealashin]

Any Suggestions on how to fix the LU25 inventory problem of inventory not working ?

I se the temp fix stated above i will do that for now

[sanman]

Which ui inventory files? there seems to be a lot of them.

Could you provide more specific filenames?

- tks!

[SirDraco71]

Mornin all,

Here is my eqii_inventory_inventory.xml

Modded myself, appears to be working.

http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/a...tid=5085&stc=1

Extract and drop in your ProfitUI directory

Hope this helps until there is an official release.

Every time i Log into the game, i am able to zoom out really really far...Like, abnormally far... Once i go into options and change it, it works fine but every time I log in it is messed up again.



And although my little froggie may look completely cute and adorable, it is kinda annoying

I believe if you go to your eq2.ini file you can add a # in front of a setting that extends the zoom distance. this is of course if you are using the eq2.ini that comes with the ProfitUI zip file.

Once I found out about custom UI's, I always look for them when I start a new game. I was just using parts and pieces of UI's until I ran across ProfitUI Reborn. How in the world does someone play with the UI SOE has given everyone from the the start of the game? UGH ! All I can say is THANK YOU FOR PROFITUI REBORN!

Sure I have some of the same little problems others have, <missing diget on xp>, <no X on invantory>, <have to always chat here> but they are all easy to work arounds.

So thanks tons

have little problem , some window whenever i login , it auto sets to default location ?
ex: tradeskill window was set on right top corner & locked , relog and its in the middle unlocked

my 7th hotbars , as well as my map window but rarely happens

[gm9]

Asterra, look a few posts up or in my FAQ for the hotbars. / works fine here and I'm using it myself. Also, it's not like the UI could influence keybindings anyway (they are saved somewhere else).

jonathn2875, you can't even select 800x600 as a resolution in the game, and ProfitUI doesn't support it (you won't be able to fit everything on the screen in the res.

rena, no problems here. Window locations are saved in your uisettings.ini. That may become corrupted, although I haven't seen it linked to window locations yet. Try if deleting/renaming it solves your problems. It's not a problem of the UI, however, the windows are all set to save there location, the rest has to be done by the game itself.

Something's definitely screwy, nonetheless. Perhaps it is the fact that I have two separate chat boxes open - a frequent necessity.

I'll give it another go, even though my attempts to backup and subsequently restore my original UI have failed inexplicably (it seems somehow to find an old iteration of my UI that I haven't used in a year).

[Asterra]

Forgetting about the / thing since it's something I can deal with. Truly great UI. But I'm the furthest thing from a master at these things so hopefully somebody can offer some quick advice on:

1) The experience window. Love the big, bold numbers in the middle of the hp / mana bars. Love the runspeed and hp / mana regen at the top. The rest of it (basically all the stuff to the right of these, including the actual exp indicator, etc.) are superfluous so I'm looking for a way of hiding it. The window can't be shrunk down horizontally to only show the hp / power bars. The window also cannot be covered by the target window because it seems to have some sort of unbreakable always-on-top priority. Suggestions?

2) Is it possible to force the actual Startmenu button on the Startmenu window to align to the left side of the window, rather than right? I fiddled around with it for ten minutes before giving up.

3) Right now, my target/compass/clock window refuses to display anything but the top bar and the loc information. The clocks, zone, day ball, target and implied target are all blank. I don't know if these are supposed to come up at some later time or what, but they're not there now. Opacities affect nothing. Window size is max. Actually I bet there's a version of this window which doesn't have the day ball at all.

Thanks in advance. Again, to the author, excellent work indeed.

[DamianCross]

Thanks for the help with my UIs other problems, but one still exists. I can't get the bottom bar to show! I can't right click on anythin on the bottom area...

[Agacin]

Ok, so after all that stuff was thrown onto my desktop, i threw it all in the recycle bin and reinstalled the game. Followed the instructions under the download button. Still doesnt work. I have the bobsui folder and everything. Im going to try one more time or I give up. Anyone know what could possibly be happening and I loved this UI. It is great, too bad it wont work.

Make sure the ui files are installed in this folder. The zip file you downloaded is set up so that you just have to unzip it into your EverQuest 2 folder and the files will end up where they need to be. Make sure your unzip tool of choice retains folders and subfolders when you unzip, though:

C:\Program Files\Sony Online Entertainment\EverQuest 2\UI\ProfitUI\

Also, make sure that the file eq2.ini contains the following lines (make sure the capitalization is correct):

cl_ui_skinname ProfitUI
cl_ui_subdir UI/

If you don't have a eq2.ini file, make one with your favorite text editor and put it in the root of your install directory. Like so:

C:\Program Files\Sony Online Entertainment\EverQuest 2\eq2.ini

Once that is done, take one of the ini files that corresponds with your resolution and copy it to the same place where you put eq2.ini and rename the file to match your character name and the server you play on. For example, if you play at 1280x1024 you take the file named ProfitUI_1280x1024_eq2_uisettings.ini and rename it like so:

server_charactername_eq2_uisettings.ini

And that's about it. If it still doesn't work then I'm not sure what I can do to help. Of course, if you don't have the game installed in the default location just substitute the above paths with the correct one.

Ok I did the eq2.ini file and just put Ui on the first line not Profit UI. And on the second text, you cant put any slashes, at least thats what it tells me. I put the eq2.ini file in the UI folder in the directory, not exactly inside the directory, is that right? And that seems all i need to know, thanks a much!

[gm9]

erm, if you had to create the eq2.ini you haven't extracted the zip correctly, because it is already included in there.

Otherwise all that Pixi wrote is correct, so don't try to change directories.

You don't have to rename the uisettings though, deleting your own is enough, the game will let you chose the correct one upon startup then.

[dew1960]

I love this UI but....do you have settings for a widescreen? I would prefer a resolution of 1440 x 900 to support my new widescreen laptop.

[gm9]

For the pet window, I'll add a clickable area of pet name and health/power bars to select the pet.

Duergan, yes, you can have two XP bars. You'll have to rename your file though and reference it in eq2ui_mainhud.xml.

dew1960, there are no default uisettings.ini for that particular resolution so far, but the UI supports it. Just delete your servername_charactername_eq2_uisettings.ini and then start the game. When it asks you to select another character's settings, simply click cancel. Most windows will already be setup correctly. You can then do the rest manually.

The only other thing I can think of is that the tab isn't set to "Frame Only" in Window Settings (right click the tab). If it is set to "None" the input box will be removed from the chatwindow.
