Bank boxes resizing troubles

stcardgeek · #1 09-30-2009, 01:40 PM

I have a few boxes that each time i log in are losing hteir sizing settings on the icons. I like them bigger! THis happens both in the bank and the shared bank. Is this an eq2 issue or a UI issue? I changed my variants to the one that said bags titlebar-no rezizing bug. Not sure if htat's hte same thing.

I am getting the same problem. I bugged it to Sony and they gave me a list of files to delete and rescan on loggin but I still have the same problem. Have also tried using a backed up copy of toon ui's from a reformat and still get messed up boxes. The vault boxes don't seem to be affected by this problem. Just the 2-3 bank boxes and shared boxes on all toons. And they are not always the same boxes on each toon either.

I have also had the same problem for years now, I have seen various "fixes" and tried them, editing html files and such, but nothing works. For instance in my shared bank I resized and relocated all bags so that the slots are larger since I have a 1920x1200 resolution on a large monitor, and bags 1-7 are fine, but bag 8 keeps moving back to it's own position, and with smaller slots. I think I changed mine to 40 or 44 pixels, tried both, but bag 8 is always 32 pixels I believe. This also happens on 3 of my non-shared bags, I believe it's usually 11, 12, and one other, maybe 8 or 9. Very irritating and I don't know if it's an SOE problem, Profit, or what. I even went so far as to go back to one of the default UIsettings from Profit, rebuild the complete UI to the way I wanted it, and all was fine for a week or two, then it migrated back to the same problem. Any ideas?

Ive had this issue periodically also. I think it somehow relates to me minimizing the client when the bank is open, but i could be completely wrong.

How i fixed it was to completely delete my ini file and build a brand new ui from the ground up. Then name that Backup. Then whenever the ui wacks out and messes up, i just restore from that fresh backup file. Bit of a pain at first but its worth it in the long run.

yea, if you, like me, like your bags to stay put, don't change the size of the EQ2 window (this includes switching between fullscreen and windowed mode) as this will mess your bags up almost 100% of the time.

If you do have this happen to you, you can simply reload your UI settings for that character BEFORE zoning or camping and it will reset them.

to the OP; if the above it not what's happening to you, you may (and probably do) have a corrupt UI settings file. I'ed delete them all and reset up a character (copying the first one off to a flash drive or something in case you need to do something like this again)

Sounds like this very old issue (considering the OP is a while older anyway): How to fix the bags without starting from scratch after GU45?

Well, I tried following the link to download UI Spy and it's not available anymore, and when I search EQ2 Interface for EQ2 UI Settings Spy it comes up empty so I assume the program is no longer available or maybe stopped working with the newer GU's, no idea.

As for a clean install, I have had this problem on THREE clean installs, 3 different machines, so that's not a real fix, trust me.

When you say clean install, are you using a back up of a UISettings file, or a supplied one of some kind? Because that is where the problem lies. Not in the UI folder, not in the EQ2 install files.

I am having this same problem on both my machines, one is windowed mode one is full screen, neither are ever changed or minimized.

I am using profit with the bag fix variant and it still happens daily, in fact just swapping toons will reset them back to icon size 32 with 0 icon padding.

I fix them constantly, set to 42 icon size and 1 icon padding and they all keep their settings fine except for 3, bank 9 and 10, and shared 8.

I have completely wiped everything (UI, ini and xml) and spent hours reorganizing my UI from scratch and nothing works.

And no, when I say I reinstall and start from scratch that's exactly what I mean, I don't reuse anything or use any preset files. I make one new xml file and load that to every toon so that they are all exactly the same.

I really am at my wits end over this, I can't see things at 32, so I HAVE to reset them to 42 *every single day*.

Try the supplied default UI settings instead and see if that helps (delete yours and copy those over).

I had this problem with one shared bank slot, and it did persist over different computers. This was with the standard UI. I have not had the problem since I started using ProfitUI. Go figure.

So far so good.

I read in the other thread that was linked here that I could delete all the bag_clone files and rebuild the bags manually.

So I did that a few days ago, just before gm9 posted his suggestion actually, and so far the bags are behaving nicely.

I have used one .xml and made it the way i want it and copied it to every other toon on both computers, so far it's working great, I just hope it lasts.

If it doesn't last I will try a premade one that came with profit.

I had this problem for the past 2 years. 2 days ago I was looking at the files in the eq2 directory and what do i see. Character ui settings files that are xml. So what I did was edit the character ui settings xml files and so far it has worked for the past few days. No more bag resizing!!!

I just deleted the 3 lines that had the high numbers. I then switched to that character resized the bags like I wanted and then tested it several times. I had 3 bags that would not work correctly so that is why I deleted the 3 lines.

Anyway I hope this helps some of you, and is not old news!
