ProfitUI Reborn [Help & Feedback]

[Garjala]

Your UI is excellent, but I have 2 minor problems with it:

1. Bottom most bar showing resists etc. does not show up at all until I minimize screen and then change back to full screen

2. Sometimes curing some effect by clicking icons next to group window changes my target in group in addition to casting cure.

EDIT: Forgot to say that I use 1280x1024 with default setting files.

The bottom bar issue is strange. Maybe right click and make sure the frame slider is maxed... I do not see how switching between windowed and fullscreen could have any influence however.

The target switching is possibly lag related. The code should be fine. Or maybe you click besides the icon, which I think will select the group member you are curing.

Really great UI, deffo love,
did notice some things in 3.02 which i didnt had in the pre-EoF verions.
Not sure if these should be classfied as bugs tho :P

The number of a hotbar doesnt disappear when you change the style from frame+border to frame and to no frame.
Doesnt look as slick as it was before and its easy to change the bar when trying to click the first skill.

Secondly,
but has been adressed by several others, dragging icon or stuff from bags is difficult now. Bad Soe it seems

Could be that im just a fool and this is all stuff i can sort in-game (rather inexperienced with ui thingies besides dowloading the new version :P).

Anyway only 2 minor things i noticed, but for the rest really loving it and keep up the awesome work

Gr8 interface, wouldn't use any other. Gr8 work gm9.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with friends lists. Every now and then my ignore list adds some-one i've just sent private tells too, or randomly picks some-one from my 'all always chat here' window, which is set to guild chat. Very annoying as I have to peridically check that a friend is not in iggy list, especially as most people i speak with are in my guild. Serveral times now iggy list has grown, oh and sometimes when i start EQ2, that chat window doesn't appear at all till I hit enter or / keys. Any suggestions anyone on what may be causing this annoying fault?

[gm9]

The ignore list is user error, you mistakenly clicked on "Ignore" on the context menu that appears when clicking a player's name in chat instead of "Send tell", which is right above.

The hidden chat window thing is a bug by SOE, happens with all UIs. Deleting your uisettings.ini might help, not sure, but it's probably not worth it just for that. I'm recently seeing this on one of my chars as well, so I'll see if I can find a workaround for this problem.

when you get to AA100 it shows in the bar only 0/10 like in the screenshot below

So I clicked on the clock and I got this timer looking window thing where it shows like a timer for tradeskill etc how exactly do I use that thing and what is it best used for ? Been using Profit reborn 2 for while now never knew it was there is there somewhere it will explain what it is and how to use it ?

Thanks in advanced.

[poopy]

Okay, I installed the UI followed the instructions loaded up the game and the only things that change are the Chat window and hot bars.

However, if i go to the ProfitUI folder and add .ini to the "eq2ui" and reload eq, everything changes.. or it tries too i get an error about my targeting windows etc, says they are out dated or whatever.

Any Suggestions??

Funny I stumbled upon this timer a while ago myself and wondered why there seems to be no mention of it or instructions for it. There is mention of it though, in the Credits section:

* Credits go to mother9987 for the excellent Timer window distributed with this mod.

And the link to the timer download itself plus instructions can be found here .

It's pretty handy and not always as complicated as the instructions make it seem. I used it to time AE's once in a while before I learned how to do that with Advanced Combat Tracker.

I am sure that has to do with the spacing, and you could go into the xml and makes some changes to shift the numbers over to allow it to show, or just bug gm9 till he gets around to fixing it... which is what I sugest =)

[gm9]

I remember setting up that bar originally and asking myself how many AA points we are likely to get in the near future. I figured that at most we'd get 25 per expansion so I set the bar up to display only two numerals. Anyway, if you have 100 already there's no reason to look at that number anymore anyway.

It's on my list though.

Had problems with the hotbar and cannot get the contest window to work. All That aside .. this is a great UI thank you so very much for devoting all your time to it.

[RitualAftermath]

Hmmm I see the answer to fixing the grabntag window above, but it means absolutely nothing to me =(

anyone able to post a simple answer with instructions for us technically challenged? thx =)

[onehotmomma]

I see that you have to add the line with the window for the tag game. How do you add it to an .xml document? New to the .xml stuff.

I had all my spinners hidden, after the GU30 changes I dont see "show spinner" anymore on the hotbars. Anyone know a change that can put them back in?

Thanks!
Microbolt

[microbolt]

Found a temp workaround. You can type the following to show all the spinners. To hide them just replace the last 1 with a 2. Also relized the Allow dragging is missing too. Code to enable both below:

/hotkey_spinner 1 1
/hotkey_spinner 2 1
/hotkey_spinner 3 1
/hotkey_spinner 4 1
/hotkey_spinner 5 1
/hotkey_spinner 6 1
/hotkey_spinner 7 1
/hotkey_spinner 8 1
/hotkey_spinner 9 1
/hotkey_spinner 0 1

/hotkey_dragging 1 1
/hotkey_dragging 2 1
/hotkey_dragging 3 1
/hotkey_dragging 4 1
/hotkey_dragging 5 1
/hotkey_dragging 6 1
/hotkey_dragging 7 1
/hotkey_dragging 8 1
/hotkey_dragging 9 1
/hotkey_dragging 0 1

If I understand correctly, Right-Click on the hotbar and select Hotbar Settings and you can show the spinner as well as enable dragging.

[Shadow312]

Is it possible to get decimals for AA exp too? I'm pretty sure I saw it on a different UI, so i think it's possible!

[Shadow312]

Also, I found that RickF7666 Hotkey's hotkey mod works, and gets rid of the dead space, so you might want to try that out until GM9 gets his fix out.

All you need to do is open the mainhud.xml file in your profitUI directory with notepad. Either right click the file and "open with->notepad" or open notepad first and then just load the file.

After that, just add the line printed in red to the file and save it.

I am on Satelite ISP (sux I know). I started having major lag problems especially in raids. ( I know lag is worse then). My question is Can ProfitUI be causing part of my lag? If so is there a fix for it. if not how do I get Default UI back its not in my files?

Thanks

[Vanyari]

Not sure whether Profit could be contributing to your lag at all, but as for getting the default back, one easy way might be to simply re-name the EQ2.ini file found in your Everquest2 folder. It's the file that tells the game as you load to use the Profit folder for your UI. If you rename it to something different the game should just revert back to the default UI.

If that works well you can easily switch back and forth just by renaming that file when you want to raid, or naming it back to eq2.ini when your not worried about lag.

[Armus550]

they just patched the hotbars again and now there's problems getting the interface windows to even show. was hoping GM would have caught it. GM bud we miss you. you do a great job and we hope you can come back soon

[WizardJP]

I daresay there's a likleyhood of some of profit window's not working after today's LU. With no sign on GM lately would it be possible for someone to post which files they needed to delete from the UI folder to make evrything work again, assuming it was necessary.

I'm guessing some window's will need to reverted back to the default UI version..unless we're lucky

[Findarato]

The only issue I have is with the hot keys, but just click on the edge and you can make most if not all of the nessary changes.
