ProfitUI Reborn [Help & Feedback]

[Armus550]

not bad but a little hard to configure, especially on the video settings. Any way to move the popup winodws for the video and sound? I don't run the default ui settings and would like to move the windows up a bit.

Would appear the tab names on the new personna window are in a different font from the guild window and others.

Oh and if you made the inventory window, I'd have thought the belt and throwing weapon boxes should be reversed. Belt should be on left and throwing weapon with other weapons on the right. Another idea for that extra space in the bag row would be to split them. Have the first three on the left and then the space followed by the last three. Symetry might look better.

Obviously everyone knows about the second earing coming some day but no clue what to do about the necklace space.

***NVM Fixed it. Problem was I didn't put in all the uisetting files which came with the UI.**

[xarox]

It works like a charm. Especially like the inventory window you made. I always had copied in a different inventory that I was using. Now, I don't have to do that anymore.

Thanks for fixing the tab out chat window problem. I tab about ALOT.


For the person asking if it's possible to move the video and sound windows. Yes, it is, but it takes some fiddling with it. Start messing with it, and I am sure you will figure it out.

EDIT: I think I found a bug. But I am not sure if this is intended or not, so posting a screenshot. Since the only experience on any of my characters are the crafting on 1 of them, thats below 10%, I posted that one. I do not know if it affects normal experience aswell since I got no chars that has less than 10%.

Screenshot is of 2% experience gained.

EDIT-2: Just levelled one of my characters. This is what it says at 0.3% experience gained. Adding screenshot.

in game, type /ics_maxcameradistance 20
20 is the max distance.. anything lower than 20 will shorten your zoom (mousewheel).. default is /ics_maxcameradistance 10

this setting will be saved eq2recent.ini as you log and will effect all toons.
hope this hepled.

My wife also has this font. We both downloaded the same version at the same time, so there is no variation. Both using the 1280x1024 resolution. However I for some reason have a standard Tahoma or Arial (hard to tell with numbers for me) and I have been searching for a way to get the other font. The font name is Speedline, and it's included in the ProfitUI folder under Fonts along with Arial .ttf files. But I simply cannot find a way to change it. I've tried everything from making sure the font is installed on my own PC, to making sure it's in the main EQII font folder as well. I've scoured the UI options, but have simply had no luch whatsoever. Again, minor, but it is something I would really like to change. Any advice?

Can you verify that your windows fonts are the same too? right click desktop and go check your fonts of things like icon, desktop etc... im pretty sure it wont be the same as the Mrs.

I guess since I am not an XML coder , I don't understand what needs to be edited in order to get my other characters to show up on the camp screen. Can someone point me in the right direction? All that shows up is Character-Server.

Thanks.

Very nice update on 2.7, great touches to make a great UI even better.

I am having no luck setting up my characters to switch from the camp menu. They are listed there, and I put in all the server info but it doesnt switch to my other account, and therefore no "detour".

It's a bit hard to move them, but even in their default configuration it's possible. Easiest for the video window is right between the colored buttons. Otherwise just resize the windows to get a nice big area where to move them.

Ah, forgot true, I started out putting in a separate tab like Findarato had done so I put in a smaller tab style. I'll revert it back to standard.

I put the window together rather quickly, I know it could be more polished. My basic idea was to but armor and consumables to the left, and weapons/jewelry to the right. I don't mind switching them around until everybody's happy though.

That's where I thought I'd put the cloak slot once it goes in.

I think the question was how to turn it off, since I enable that setting by default in eq2.ini. exite's answer is correct, put an "#" before the line, disable i or change the value to 10 in eq2.ini.

And Taffu's font issue really sounds like he's using small fonts, in which case another font will be used.

Go to your ProfitUI directory, and open _ProfitUI_LoginData.xml in the windows editor (notepad). You will see this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <DataSource Name="CharacterData">
<Data Name="CHARACTER" password="PASSWORD" server="SERVER" username="USER"/>
</DataSource>

Just edit the bold parts by putting in your character name, account password, server name and your account name (and make a duplicate of the line for each character).

Be sure to uncheck the "same account" checkbox on the shutdown screen.

The "detour" is that it will loop back to the login screen, where you'll either have to click on the character again (or to manually enter the password and hit enter) to proceed with the login.

If I find the time I might be able to automate this better but since it's working fine I decided to throw it in with the release.

EDIT: I suppose I'll add that you get the login screen as well if you run everquest2.exe instead of eq2.exe, i.e. if you bypass the launcher for quicker login.

[gm9]

Xarox, you are apparently using XP window variant 2 and what you are seeing is "working as intented" - I tried to explain this behaviour in the changelog. Just for reference to the individual integers, let's say the format of an XP number is AB.C - if B=0, it will not be shown (that's how SOE is giving us the data).

EDIT: I'm pretty sure your tradeskill XP was actually 20.0 %

I tried to display an always correct figure by doing automatic calculations on the XP data but it wasn't updating reliably so for now I preferred to go with SOE's data directly.

Ok... I get it now... Well, it doesn't cause any problems, just looked weird. If it's working as intended, I will play along with it. Just figured I'd say something.

Great work man!

Just eagerly downloaded 2.7 to try out and I love all the new functionality - great work as usual Gm9. Appreciate all your efforts in maintaining this UI.

Yes I made sure to uncheck that option. I edited the proper file and added the right info for my account, although maybe something in the xml file isnt right? This is what I had added to the original: (obviously I changed my personal info..)



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DataSource Name="CharacterData">
<Data Name="CHARACTER" password="PASSWORD" server="SERVER" username="USER"/>
<Data Name="ubernoob" password="123" server="veeshan" username="mysoeacct"/>
</DataSource>

Is there an extra / in there or something??

Thanks!

[gm9]

I'm actually not sure, but I suppose the server name might be case sensitive. Try to capitalize it properly and try then. You don't need to keep the default line I put in, btw, that was just for illustration purposes.

This ist only in the Horizontial, the vertikal works perfectly .. anyone has an fix for it ?

I have the same Problem in 2.7 .. no one know how to fix it ?

[gm9]

No idea, it's working fine here. Which one exactly is broken, the big or the compact one?

[labrat]

fonts question

as i have had profit UI for sometime now, I have not really paid much attention to the fonts zips that are within the 2.7 main zip. one is called bitmap the other it called smooth.

i dont really have an issue but wanted to know where I should unzip them and if both or just one needs to be unzipped?

Thanks for the heads up.

I have the Problem with the Big and the Compact one .. Its seems the Windows are to small for 6 Players .. i can see only 5 of 6 Players ..

I Play on Innovation (German Server)

[gm9]

labrat, all the zip's in the UI directory are optional. The "bitmap" is what you are currently using, the "smooth" is optional/for troubleshooting.

Ypselon, very strange that the localized versions always render so differently. I attach the horizontal group window without the min/max size settings, so you can resize it at your leisure. Maybe that helps.

[Ypselon]

Seems working ..but can you make this for the compact one ?

[labrat]

thanks gm for the quick reply

It was the "Smooth Fonts" option that did it. Oddly enough (probably because my graphics card is less powerful than my wifes), with Smooth Fonts off...while the font was what I wanted, it pretty much broke the legibility of the game...everything got scratchy and fuzzy, and text got hard to read. I'm sure the font settings for the two PC's are different, but I simply resorted back to the Smooth Fonts option being on for legibility purposes. :P
