[DrumsUI] Full Interface (Version 1.0)

[chriswebstar]

Pretty happy with the raid window size changes tbh

I still miss the simplicity and DRY of Razc, but this is getting pretty damn nice.

[Qupe]

Downloaded the new group frame and would like to thank you for the quick cast button hiding, it's fantastic! I'm not a fan of the self showing in the frame but you've already mentioned plans for a window that doesn't include it.

edit: nvm, disabling smart cures lets me click anywhere on the detrimental area to cure.

Wow Drum I think you out did yourself with this update. and the main reason I recommend yours to everyone looking for a great UI. Easy, Flexible, Efficient, well Designed and strongly Supported.
Great work as usual. The only thing I use now outside of your UI is Profits market window.

Thanks
Accredo

I love your UI
I play a defiler and nothing ist better than your group- und raid-window but I must ask this Qustion again

Is it possible, maybe in the next update, to choose/have icons for the "Quick buttons" instead of the numbers?

In raid time and in hurry it would help (me) very much when I have to cross send health/ cross send shields to the other players.

And maybe a switch to sow the "Quick buttons" all the time and not only when the mouse is over the bars time is money ... no .. time is life!

A lot of players im my raid owes their life because I use your group-/raid-UI ..

THX for this great work !!!!!

[chriswebstar]

I think it's a great UI indeed, but because of the thought Drums puts into the scripting. The interface design isn't particularly interesting, and I'd almost call it bloated, but his scripting is simply genius.

[oakfn]

Great UI just cant seem to get start button to show if i click menu it pulls up but sows icons but no text just black window tryed older ones still wont fix
any ideas?

thanks

Thanks mate. You might wanna check out the update to my market window. It's a lot like the profit one, including usage of it's most recent preset filters. Slightly different layout with auto-hiding filters however

It will take some scripting changes to allow Quick cast buttons to show all the time, but it is something I thought of doing. The raid window would take even longer if I did this, too.

But my question for you: If you were to have the icons visible all the time, it would probably make sense to keep them to the side of the health bars, and not over top, yes?

I'm not too sure what you mean. Could you possible attach as screenshot of your problem? Is the Start Menu stat bar not showing? Or do you mean the Start Menu won't open when you press the start button?

hiya just no graphics missing text just icons showing no biggie just put default file works again heres default was black window except for the icons on left

I'm not quite sure what the problem is. I see your menu opening, and I see the Start button. It's just a text button (no graphic) that opens it.

The start menu will open near to where your XP bar is (due to Sony's coding).

PERFECT! I love it and the "Set level" button is a great addition. And I love the auto-hide filters. Any chance of us being able to set the range in the future?

Mucho appreciate all of your hard work.

Indeed, I'll probably add an out of game configuration file for modifying buttons like that. For smaller changes like that I'll avoid the in-game editable settings, due to the amount of code it takes to load custom options like that

I think is better to show them beside the bar so that you can see who needs health.

few things i did notice but i just give u 1 example
Knowledge book for instance if you switch frames the windows gets messed up
I'm only making links to images as i don't want to hog up space
pic 1 Fresh /loadui DrumsUI from Default UI

pic 2 frame only works fine but the close and setting button disappear (been happening to me too in my work of the UI)
http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2...eframeonly.jpg

pic 3 None still missing close and settings

pic 4 frame and title the UpperTabBkg gets moved to the wrong position I believe
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7...meandtitle.jpg

This has happened in a few windows I've noticed I'm just giving 1 example

[Drumstix42]

Ah funky, I'll check it out and fix it up though. I probably was putting pages overtop of the window frame, thus I created these "fake" close buttons that presses the real close buttons.

I'll clean them up so that doesn't happen anymore. It's been a looooong time since I even messed with the knowledge book.

[DiggityMan]

knowledge book thing your journal window works perfect its what u should template from in frame mode it should hide button as it even say FRAME ONLY.
Since the button are really part of the title bar i see why they hide when u switch modes moving them outside the windowframe section will solve any problem with them disappearing

[Incarnatus]

I have just began using this interface on resubscribing to EQ2. I like the feature on the Target UI Element that on mouseclick opens the browser and looks up the targeted mob. However instead of searching for the mob on the Wiki I would prefer it to go to www.lootdb.com and do an item lookup on the loot table for the mob.

Previously I have made a macro in game with /browser www.lootdb.com/eq2/mob/%T. This launches the browser and displays the relevant data. I have tried to modify the eq2ui_mainhud_target file to do this but do not know enough to get this to work. There are in this file two places where I see the following code:

<Button Location="157,0" Name="LookupTarget" OnPress="URL=&apos;http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=&apos; ## Parent.Name.localtext&#xD;&#xA;browser URL" Opacity="0.500" PackLocation="right,top" PackSize="fixed,fixed" ScrollExtent="13,13" Size="13,13" Style="/ButtonStyles.tabscroll_left" Tooltip="Lookup target" Visible="false" />

I assume this is where I change the text to what I want. Can anyone help here please?

[Incarnatus]

Ok. figured out how to do it:

<Button Location="157,0" Name="LookupTarget" OnPress="URL=&apos;http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/mob/&apos; ## Parent.Name.localtext&#xD;&#xA;browser URL" Opacity="0.500" PackLocation="right,top" PackSize="fixed,fixed" ScrollExtent="13,13" Size="13,13" Style="/ButtonStyles.tabscroll_left" Tooltip="Lookup target" Visible="false" />

Hi.. is there any chance to include a timer for the merc payments? Many times I go to turn him off i had JUST paid the 25g..

[RumTumTugger]

after today's hotfix we need a fix for the harvest depots ASAP and until then can I please get the xml I need to delete so I can use the default?

[baker518]

I seem to be having a problem that I cant resolve regardless of what I have read. So to start over again, how do you delete what I have and start fresh?

Delete your DrumsUI folder in the UI folder.

[Sacraed]

Right now I have about 5 DrumsUI folders and 4 or 5 UI folders just trying to get the UI to work with the edited files. The UIs within UIs are the worst. I did back up my EQ2 directory but it was already FUBARed before I did it. I've lost data somewhere and my pc hangs at the most critical times.

Time to reset my laptop to factory settings, and see if something else is terribly wrong and not the game. My question is: if I just uninstall the game rather than reset my laptop to factory settings, is there anything hidden that might perpetuate the UIs from hell?

Sweet Drum, this is not a bashing of your wonderful UI. If it were, I wouldn't be trying so hard to make it work. I love this UI and I appreciate your gift to all of us. I'm just my own worst enemy when it comes to installing UIs and editing files. I'll be back!

All it should take to get rid of a messed-up custom UI folder is to delete the UI folder itself, delete your UI settings files (*_eq2_uisettings.xml), edit eq2.ini and change cl_ui_skinname to Default (or remove it entirely) and edit eq2_recent.ini and remove any cl_ui_skinname entries you find. Run the patcher and it should re-download the default UI files giving you a clean UI folder. Doing a Validate Game Assets from the launchpad options should clean up any other corruption if the game's still giving you problems with the default UI. You do, of course, lose all your UI layouts doing this, but it guarantees you start with a clean default UI and layout.

In the worst case you can uninstall, delete the game install folder and anything left in it if the uninstall didn't completely delete it, and re-download the full game launchpad installer and reinstall. It should be possible to clear everything but the launchpad files from your game folder and let your existing launchpad re-download everything, but I'd have to poke around to see what needs to be left for the LP to function.

[Drumstix42]

The player window's cure graphics are showing as the old size, and will look off. I had this fixed, but missed putting it into the zip.

Attached is the updated XML. Will be in the next zip in the next few days.
