Why is my mod not visible?

shotokan · #1 07-02-2008, 02:23 PM

Ok, I made a mod.. and I swear it worked fine yesterday, but doesn't appear in-game today. I'm going to post the code below and if anybody could tell me why it doesn't appear, I'd be very grateful. (I also deleted the character interface config .ini file and let it build from scratch with no luck)

Here's the mod I made:

Code:

What do you mean "doesn't appear in-game today"?

It isn't showing when I load into the world?
It isn't show after I click a button that makes it visible?
It isn't showing after I issue the command Show_Window Custom.CoinWeight?

In order for EQ2 to make a window visible it has to be make visible via the command Show_Window and this includes each time you run EQ2. After that you can set the visible property of that window to true or false to work.

shotokan · #3 07-02-2008, 10:52 PM

ok, I got you on that... used the onload event on the experience window...

Alright... I'm not getting this... I added:

Code:

OnShow="RevertWin=size show_window=Custom.CoinWeight show_window=Custom.CoinWeight"

to the Page tag in the experience window. Ok? It worked just fine on the first load... In fact, I saw the CoinWeight bar on the load screen before anything else. Now, since I've closed EQ2 and re-run it the CoinWeight does not appear anymore. It does appear if I use the /loadui and it does appear if I use the command /show_window Custom.CoinWeight. What gives?

**Drumstix42** · #4 07-03-2008, 01:15 AM

Does it need a visible=true maybe on the top page element?

Didn't affect anything..

**gm9** · #6 07-03-2008, 04:56 AM

No, because that's the default anyway.

Does /show_window Custom.CoinWeight work without first /loadui? If it doesn't, remove your uisettings.ini, you probably moved the window off screen, resized it to zero (it has no minimum size) or something like that.

**Landiin** · #7 07-03-2008, 08:27 AM

change

Code:

OnShow="RevertWin=size show_window=Custom.CoinWeight show_window=Custom.CoinWeight"

to

Code:

OnShow="RevertWin=size
show_window Custom.CoinWeight"

Try this, technically its the same thing but never know with the newness of the custom window code. I never liked treating a command line command as a variable any way.

shotokan · #8 07-03-2008, 11:36 AM

Ok, did it all from scratch without any Fetish reliance... it loads on start-up now, but it doesn't save position?

**gm9** · #9 07-03-2008, 11:42 AM

Add this to the topmost <Page> element of your window:

eq2usescomwndcontrols="true"

Ok, added that and now it stopped auto-showing (/show_window does still work)... but it did save the location.

Here's the code:

        </Page>

It even persists after I delete the uisettings file... I don't know.. something is causing this... I can't get the Fetish personabar to show on load either once it is moved from the original placing.

shotokan · #11 07-03-2008, 12:40 PM

Update:

I can delete the uisettings file for the character, log in the game and adjust things like the chat window.. log out... log back in... and the CoinWeight window is still visible.. As long as I don't move the CoinWeight window from its default location, it is visible and fine. I even locked it in place this time around testing.

You know, the personabar from Fetish does the same thing.. it is fine until I move it or change it from the 1 to 2 setting...

What in the world is causing this?

**gm9** · #12 07-03-2008, 12:45 PM

Is there a second window called "CoinWeight" in your UI, e.g. in the MainHUD path? If so, rename yours. Otherwise no idea (maybe remove the ismodule=false statement, it is not needed, but I don't really think that it would cause a problem).

Ahh! Why didn't you just tell me to use your mod? I ditched Fetish and installed ProfitUI. Now I have everything I need, except for bags automatically opening on load (togglebags).

Sidenote: I assume you know the 'exit without camping' button is broken?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Page eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="1,1" MaximumSize="330,55" MinimumSize="330,55" Name="Aseekias_Damage_Stats" PackLocation="left,top" ScrollExtent="330,55" Size="330,55" UserMovable="true">

    </Page>
</Page>

test this code.... without any other code in it... save it as _test_window.xml
open you eq2ui_custom.xml
insert the line <include>_test_window.xml</include>
make a macro like /show_window Custom.test_window

push your macro button an a window will pop up now......
if you like no borders and no backround color .. open your xml fie go to the last line and change the backroundOpacity="1.000" to backroundOpacity="0.000"...

this code works... use the same code for my small dps_stat window..

..........

think thats the right code for your window

save it as _Coinweight.xml
open you eq2ui_custom.xml
insert the line <include>_Coinweight.xml</include>
make a macro like /show_window Custom.Coinweight

test it on testserver it works..

so please.. if you code something.. and it dosen't work... take some time... open other ui's and show is there a mistake in your code..
but others do not make bad for own errors are the correct away... #
give you the hands and get along again

your aseekia

Haha, I prefer that more people learn to mod and release new mods rather than having everybody use ProfitUI. But yes, ProfitUI does show the coins.

For the bags you could just add togglebags to the OnShow of the experience window if you want.
