@NewNote : would trigger the parser to create a new note
@Note PK Jim next time I see him. : The @Note would tell the parser to add the rest of the line to the note
@EndNote : would tell the parser to end and save the note.

However you still wouldn't be able to see that note in game untill you exited the game and came back or play craps and try loadui :P.

About the large exp numbers; that is something I have been planing on doing is allowing one the ability to cycle though the many exp types. Its just a matter of having time to do it. With summer here and running the kids from field to fild, city to city for ball I hardly have time for anything else.

OK, fair enough, I suspected that may be the case, since it appeared to be a "static" viewing tool. I do still find the notes useful, lately I've been using it for quest information, since the browswer is not fully html and does not seem to work properly for framed pages with searches and the like. I just have to remember to copy the text to a note first.

As far as summer and kids.... yeah tell me about it, if we could only harvest their energy to get things done then the 15th expansion would be completed already, hehe. Glad to hear that the large window modifications are in the works though.

I would also like to say that I have been playing around with some of the color palettes, since the bright grey is somewhat hard on the eye in darker areas such as the Bonemire.... and I have noticed that they do not seem to include the raid selection window box (the one with the compass inside) in them. I'm not sure if that was modified since they were created (in which case it is on the palette designers) or something else... ironicially it appears to be the only box that DOES have color in elfwanderer's previous post, which suggests to me that it's palette may be separate from the others. I've used the handy blank box to cover the hole, so it still looks ok and is covered, so it is a relatively minor thing, but thoguht it may be worth mentioning.

I'm also looking forward to the parser, I did not realize you had that in the works, since there does not appear to be any mention of it in the AUCP update notes. I use one occasionally called ACT (made by a gal on my server, it is fairly nice, http://home.maine.rr.com/eqaditu/ACT/ is the URL for it if you or anyone else is interested in the mean time) but havig one built into the UI, especially with the quality you tend to produce would be quite handy.

As before, thanks for all the hard work, this is no doubt the best UI out there.

The parser code ( reading of the log file(s) ) is already in place ( although I'm moving it to a .dll file ). It only handles the media player commands ATM but as I get time it'll get more robust(sp).

[Ratan_Kabidge]

Ah, ok so the intent is not a full combat tracker, I guess that is what I was calling a parser, wrong term aparently. I have to admit I dont listen to music on the PC really, since the PC speakers do not shake the windows like my main stereo does.... see, there IS a reason I refuse to use voice chat software!

[Landiin]

Oh I do plan on adding combat tracking support to the AUCP but it'll be in small steps, unless I get a lot of time and a hair up my arse.

[Raesoth]

Have a couple probs I've run across

I somehow lost my info button pages.. click info and nothing and the AUCP isn't downloading them

2 cures
when I click on the poison icon on group member 3 and 5 it casts greater restoration (I'm a 70 templar). That spell is a single target heal that templars have. I've had this spell cast on me many many times when I click on the icons instead of the name and using the icon on my spell bar. ITs not always 3 and 5 but over all the slots including my own.

I'm not sure why it casts a spell that is not a cure but is a heal but if it can be removed from the list it would be appreciated

Thanks

It is loaded, it is showing up ingame..I have a black box at the bottom of the screen,one at the top...I have some of the new menu's..but NOTHING like I see in the pics. I admit, I am new to the EQ series....and right off I didn't like the UI ( probably why I didn't play before). But after I saw the setup pics for this UI I decided to play. If there is a tutorial for dummies, could someone point it out ? Like I said thouygh, it is showing up ingame...so don't redirect me to the tutorial on how to load general UI's....just help with config on this UI...ty..

could someone please help??

[Landiin]

Sorry elf I totaly missed you post some how. *bad Landiin*

If your setup looks like the image you linked then you havn't configured your uisettings.ini yet. Here is how you do that:

Open up the AUCP ( start->program files->eXtreme->eXtreme AUCP ) once that it is done updating click on AUCP from the main menu then settings. This will open up a settings window. When that window opens click on UI->client config from the menu on the left. Then in the group uisettings.ini click the default button then save. Now click on char config from the menu on the left. In the top box will be a list of characters you have played, in the bottom box is a list of premade uisettings files. Click on the character you will be using then click on a premade uisettings file. If the res you use isn't list you can chose one that is close then tweek it a bit in game.

I hope this gets you going. If it dosn't please let me know.

Again sorry for missing your first request.

[elfwanderer]

I did as you stated..maybe I'm just dense....nothing changed...

in game do /load_uisetting or is it /load_uisettings ( one of the two ) and pick the one you saved the uisettings for in AUCP. If the game is loading the UI then you are not saving of picking the correct uisettings.ini file, that is the only thing that places the windows.

[elfwanderer]

I have no idea exactly what I did...I tried it like 3x..but the last was the charm!! TY for your time and patience.

Chat box, lower left is not there.

I hit enter and poof , it was there (???)

Sadly eXtremeUI just don't fit will with smaller resolutions. I've attempted to make it fit the best I could and still working on ways to do it.

This is at 1280x1024. What res is recommended?

I've removed ExtremeUI for now but I would like to get it to work, looks like it'll be real nice if I can get it going. Thanks for the help.

[Landiin]

To be honest bitemenot any thing lower then 1400 x 1024 IMHO causes to much clutter with the way eXtreme is lay out. There are many that use eXtreme with lower resolutions that that and love eXtreme but it just comes down to your personal taste.

I downloaded the autoupdater and installer. I love the interface but I have no window displaying my current buffs, the ones I have on me. I have a windo showing the ones I cast myself but nothing showing me what else I have on me. There was a big grey box that does nothing and has nothing in it and Im assuming that perhaps this was meant to be the effects window with current buffs in it. Why doesnt this window work? Every other piece of the UI seems to be working correctly.

The other problem I have is Id like to see my unbuffed stat base, and have no way to do it with this UI, normaly you could just right click on your name/healthbar box and chose inspect and look at the base stats by hovering the mouse over the stats. This method doesnt since that box no longer exsist. Is there some other way to see base unbuffed unaltered stats? THis is important in figuring out your current cap.

Some help with these 2 problems would be greatly appriciated.

[Gryberd]

actually now that I look at the screenshots I appear to be missing the buff window altogether, I see that it should be near the top in a long horizontal bar. That bar isnt there for me =( everything else is there.

[Gryberd]

I did finally find the effects bar it was behind a bunch of other stuff. Now if I could figure out how to see my base stats Id be a happy camper.

[Ratan_Kabidge]

Hello again Landin,

I have another request I hope you will consider in an upcoming update that I have not seen posted in this thread. Is there any chance you may consider adding the Enter/Cancel idea to the crafting window? There is one out there, the "Nyarlathotep's Tradeskill Window with Just Press Enter for 'Begin' & 'Repeat' and Esc. for 'Cancel' while crafting" psoted in the add on sectoin on 2/25, but this one aparently is only designed to work with Nyarlathotep's UI (I have tried it and it does no work with yours for some reason, it crshes the client as soon as you click on anything in the window). I used this one, or one similar with Fetish (is that a bad word in that forum?) and it worked fine in there, but, I prefer your UI to that one so if possible, I'd like to have my cake and eat it too while crafting, and drop the mousie on the floor as I space out at the TV and grind my crafts. I have also tried the "Just Press Enter LU22+" posted on 4/15/06 in the add on sectoin, but this one does not appear to contain a crafting window with that option (not sure if the othes work, I did not actually try them when I noticed it did not effect the crafting window, that is really my target for the day, but it did not crash the client when I opened a window at least)

I can undrstand making it a mod/add-on perhaps, sicne many may prefer not to have the repeat set as their enter key and cancel set as escape, but it sure would be super if we had that as an optionional add on.

thanks again for your support, have a great holiday weekend!

Look at your persona window?

I'll have to load up default to see what you are referring to *shudder*, its been so long. lol

[Landiin]

Nope Fetish isn't a bad word Zonx makes a good UI and I have learned loads from him.

As for the crafting window I use to mod it, but so many people have their own style it was a pita to please all. So I changed the way eXtreme skinned windows so one could drop in any mod from the pieces download and that window would automatically been skinned for eXtreme ( if they didn't use their own graphics that is ). Doing it this way people could find a mod they like, add that file to the exclude list and they are content. I'll check into the mod you said was crashing the game and see whats up. It may use its own graphics and require addiction includes to the exclude list in the updater.

[Ratan_Kabidge]

Ok, thank you for looking into it. The download thread (title of thread is actually "Just press Enter and Esc. Tradeskill Window", the text in my previous post was actually the content of the thread) did say it required the Nyarlathotep's Streamlined UI to work, and I did think to add it to the exclude list, but it was just reported as a "foreign file" since the AUCP is not looking to update that file (I did notice there was no eq2ui_tradeskill.xml file in your set) and I did not add any additional files aside from the eq2ui_tradeskill.xml file itself. If it helps, the enter/trade window was not the standard eXtreme colors, it did have its own skin color, hence, if the skins should transpose the eXxtreme colors onto any mod windows from other pieces it did not seem to alter the color on this particular instance. I just don't know enough abou tthe construction of the UI files and their interactoins to figure it out myseelf.

-Rat

P.S. Also glad to hear Fetish is not a "competitor" so to speak, as I thoguht he was rtight on top of support as well as updates during the months I used his UI, so even though I prefer your layout, I still only have good things to say about Fetish and Zonx as well.

Unfortunantly your persona screen only shows buffed and equiped stats, the same stats I already have in the upper left hand coner of my screen. There should be a way to see unbuffed/unequiped stats, ie your base stats, for the purpose of finding your stat caps, so your not buying equipment that has stats for an item you already have maxed.

[Eleventeen]

The "Search" feature when selling items from your residence is somewhat rough. After changing a price on an item, the next item you click 'search' on may search for another item.

For example, lets say these are the 6 items I have listed that I intend to sell:
A droag hide
A droag tooth
An aviak feather
An aviak talon
Breeze (Adept I)
Petrify (Adept I)

I hit search on a droag hide, and change the price. I then click on a droag tooth and hit search, and it searches for Breeze (adept 1).

Hey, I have a quick question about the AUCP.

Is it possible to integrate this with WinEQ 2.0?

Possibly add a way to run a different executable than everquest.exe

Not a big deal... I guess i can just check for updates before i run through wineq, but integration would make it much easier =D

[Nithryok87]

Ok my invintory is overflowing, and i go to it and i cant find the item that is over flowing to move it, can any one help me out?

Iventory window, bottom row seconed icon from the right is your overflow stack. It is the spot that is normaly blank/empy if you don't have overflow.

It could be done If I find some time I'll add it a way to do that, but time is in short supply for me ATM. If you don't see it after a while remined me about this
