ProfitUI Reborn [Help & Feedback]

[Hunnar]

Great work gm9. We all appreciate you keeping this UI alive.

I just installed 2.6 and I'm having a bit of a problem. I've attached a screen shot to show what is wrong. There are a few elements that are missing.

The upper left corner information, xp bars, percentages, etc. Also the tabs for the chat windows.

I've tried changing the windows properties, but I've not been able to get these items to show up. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You install it inside the ProfitUI directory.

Somehow tonite my startbar/info center bar vanished. I hit f10 and it not there. Normally I'd reset my UI to default, but since I cant load my start menu...I'm stumped. Is there an easy way for me to get my bar back?

Hunnar, looks like an installation problem, . You must extract the contents of the .zip to the correct locations. Usually unzip programs should do this automatically but maybe yours is having a problem with this? At least WinRAR or WinZIP should work.

I'll be away for a while so I hope this helps...

montch2, if you type /load_uisettings you load a default screen layout. Alternatively, you can type Alt-O to get to the options menu.

I am not sure where you could put it, but it would be very nice to have the crit chances included into the UI,

<DataSource  description="Stats" Name="Stats">
 <DynamicData description="Melee Critical  Chance" Name="Melee_Crit_Chance"  /> 
<DynamicData description="Ranged Critical  Chance" Name="Ranged_Crit_Chance"  /> 
<DynamicData description="Heal Critical  Chance" Name="Heal_Crit_Chance"  /> 
<DynamicData description="Damage Spell Critical  Chance" Name="DmgSpell_Crit_Chance"  /> 
<DynamicData description="Double Attack  Chance" Name="Double_Atk_Percent"  /> 
<DynamicData description="AE Auto Attack  Chance" Name="AE_AutoAtk_Percent"  /> 
<DynamicData description="Spell Reuse percent  reduction" Name="Spell_Reuse_Percent"  /> 
<DynamicData description="Spell Cast percent  reduction" Name="Spell_Cast_Percent"  /> 
<DynamicData description="Spell Recovery percent  reduction" Name="Spell_Recovery_Percent" />

it would be nice to have thoes stats displayed.

That would be very cool to have in there Findarato. I didn't even know you could find that information out.

[Findarato]

I couldnt find a good place for it or I would have added it into my version and released a mod to the UI with the info. There is plenty of room on the bottom bar if you run at 1280+ but for the 1024s you would be sol for the mod I had in mind. I am also a caster so I was thinking about dropping some of the stats.

Its too bad you cant see the stats of your pet, like the crit rates and the like, but I guess thats what posses pet is for


Like I said in my post the bottom bar has enough room, but I think a really good place for it woudl be where the experiance infomation is. I would just drop the extra stuff there and then replace it with the stats DD posted above, or just release that has a mod....oooh I am so doing that tonight great idea findy! Thanks I am glad I thought of it. Me too. I think the invintory window is kinda iky but I can deal. Yea I like the origional better, but the small one does have its charm. My chin itches. Yea you just shaved it noob! Oh yea :P. Hmm what else shoudl I sugest...

You could always modify the Persona window and replace a bunch of the crap that isnt needed there because its listed below, or even just redo the whole thing together. Thats a great idea, I think I might have to give that a try as well, maybe even a new tab on there...ooh yea that sounds awsome, you do that. Well I will. FIne you do that. OK

I used Alt-O and reset all my windows, but my start bar still isnt showing. I turned off 'hide windows offscreen' too, in case it was off somewhere. Is there a way for me to get this back (even via editing files)?

Also, what would cause me to lose this screen? Once I fix it, I'd like to avoid doing this again.

There is .. just type

/show_window mainhud.StartButton

The same thing happens to me every time I log in. it does not want to seem to stay.

Thanks for the quick response. I checked the installation and everything looks to be installed where it should be. Any suggestions on where else to look?

Edit: Found the problem. I failed to update Mother's Map Spoiler add-on. Downloaded new version & everything is working now.

Thanks.

That worked, thanks so much!

Findarato, I like the idea of a new tab on the persona window the best. Let me know if you come up with something.

I also find the inventory window slightly unintuitive but serviceable.

I have this extra chat window that keeps coming on at seemingly random times, that is smaller than the normal chat window, but i do not want it to be there, and i cannot get to close, any suggestions would be much appreciated

Drag one of your pre-existing chat windows onto the window you want to go away; then drag it back to the original position of the pre-existing one. Should work.

I had the same problem as you, though I can't say I have any other add-ons on top of ProfitUI, doh.

[odball69]

Haven't loaded the latest yet but I have noticed that when zoning the top bar that gives the xp percents changes and has things like hp regen and power regen is that a hang over from a previous version?

[icemanndrake]

I am having a issue with the market interface. When I installed it, it seemed to work fine. But then i noticed my chat window tabs had disapeared. And for some reason my HP and POWER bars are no longer color and are now grey. If you have any advice for this i would appreciate it. I love the Profit interface, me and all my friends now use it.

Thanx you.

I've made an interesting observation of the XP bar behavior.

I know that this has been brought up before and I decided to test if the Default UI xp bar has problems and if so, what kind.

The default bar in fact reports incorrect XP data as gm9 said. But it does it in a bit less obvious way. When you kill a mob with the default xp bar, the cyan bar underneath the main yellow bar moves up. But the problem is if you take a close look, when the cyan bar goes over into the next xp % point, the main xp bar still says that it's 45% xp for example even though the cyan bar moved into the 46% area and it does this until you make the next kill. Unfortunately ProfitUI displays this a bit more explicitly and you get jumps in your xp, the default ui however always shows xp going up, never jumping, just the main xp bar reporting it a bit incorrectly.

This is driving me a little insane as I have no way of knowing how much xp i'm actually getting per kill.

Is it possible for the time being for myself to change the XP display to the default without losing my hp/mana bar? Any help greatly appreciated.

Do me a favor and pop this in your UI folder, its kinda rough but I think it works and looks ok.

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 =(

Sorry is that for me? If so, do i delete eq2ui_mainhud_experience.xml from UI dir? Or do i just throw this in?

Cheers Findarato, got company all this weekend so probably won't get back to you until next week. If I do get a chance to slip away though I will let you know how it looks.

The new window & stats look great.

The only issues I've seen is when you resize the window, on the Detail Tab, the Biography text label next to the Edit button stays in original location while the rest of the window contents stretch.

Result is the Biography Text Label on top of the Edit button.

The new stats are working great and I like that you've moved the Options tab to be the default.

Ice - did the window you installed for market perchance have an image folder along with it? Or anything that went IN the image folder that might have replaced one currently there? That would explain the colors missing....if not, I will hunt around some more and see what else it could be..

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.
