ThorUI AU Help [Need Help with the Auto Updater? Post here!!!] - Page 3

Vrain · #1 06-25-2006, 06:54 PM

Howdy all,

Well I just came back into playing EQ2 and downloaded the UI since this was the one I loved when I played almost a year ago... Here is my situation...

I downloaded the file, did the install and told the install to put the files as follows: c:..../sony/EverQuest II/ it did the install and created the thorui folder when I rean the program it installed a folder in the following location: c:..../sony/EverQuest II/UI/thorui What I am having a problem is that it has two (2) thorui folders each with a different set of files... I understand that one is for the updater and one is for the updated files or xml files.. But what happens is this.. I keep having to do a download from Sony each time I launch from the Thor UI Auto Updater... If I launch from EQ2MAP UpDater or from the EQ2.exe it goes right to where I left off..

Mind you I don't mind having to get some updates every now and then but 2 - 4 hours of updates is a joke...

I have turned off the update newer files as well so that it does not keep updating my mainhud-shutdow xml causing me to loose my settings...

Just looking for some help as to why this is happening.. I am getting to the point where I think I will have to uninstall the whole dang program and start all over again..

Peace,

You should install the ThorUI AU application in C:\Program File\thorui
The UI files go in Ever Quest II\UI\thorui

That may be your first issue.
Next, be sure eq2map is set to know you are using thorui.
It should detect it automatically.

You can also setup ThorUI AU to automatically launch the eq2map updater then the eq2map updater can launch EQ2

Let me know if i didn't help at all and need to take another stab at it.

all the directions ive been given to fix my inventory issues dont work...i have done these things...
*deleted inventory files out of folder and updated
*deleted inventory files out of folder and played with no update
*turned inventory off in advanced settings (files deleted or not)
*uninstalled and reinstalled
*got remote access from my computer/gamer guru and kept all the directions windows open so he could see how i had it set up...and he said i did it right as per the directions

nothing works...i might have to stop using this UI and thats bad cuz its my favorite and the best one ive seen as far as i can tell...but i cant play without being able to see my armor packs weapons and how much money i have and wether or not i need mending...

this is depressing

ps hey faetyl ill even give ya remote access to my computer if you have msn im and let ya look at it for me *wink*

**Faetyl** · #4 07-14-2006, 02:00 AM

FYI to others that may also be experiencing issues.

Donnelaith's trouble was related to the ThorUI AU application being installed in the EverQuest II\UI\thorui directory.
Note: When you install the AU, you should allow it to install to the default location of C:\Program Files\thorui unless you have a good reason to move it. It will work in other locations just shouldn't ever go in the directory where the actual ui files go.

If this is your issue as well simply uninstall and then reinstall to the default location.

Donnelaith · #5 07-14-2006, 09:28 AM

Thanks again for helping me get that handled...I was in the best of moods and smiling again after the problem was figured out and fixed. Your the best

I keep getting this error code when i try to start up the updater.

I/O Error 103

and sometimes this one comes up also

No Active Document

can someone help with this please, i uninstalled and then reinstalled to see if that would fix it but it didn't work.

That error is generally stating that a file the application is trying to access is already open (thus cannot be read). Could you possibly be trying to launch the updater multiple times at once (being 'click-happy', triple/quadruple clicking on the desktop icon or double clicking on aquick launch icon).

Disclaimer: I have a quick launch button for the updater, and I double clicked it (for testing purposes), and got the same I/O Error message

i have a question about the thor ui options. how do you change optional windows with this user interface?

**Faetyl** · #9 08-02-2006, 09:26 AM

Selecting a Feature:

1. Launch the ThorUI AU
2. Click “Cancel” therefore stoping the update process
3. Click “Advanced”
4. Check the feature you would like to start using
5. Click “Ok”
6. Click “Ok”
7. Click "Update"

Also found in the installation Instructions here:

Livinlifex · #10 08-07-2006, 05:14 PM

I am not sure if this has happened to anyone else, or if it is the UI itself. The items (like a note) that you inspect for a quest update will allow me to examine these types of items one time and complete the update. If I try to examine another (or sometimes the same item) for a another quest update, it will fail. All that will happen will be that it just shows the description of the item, no update. The only way for me to fix this is to camp or zone. Then I may examine the item once again to continue the quest but only once then I have to log or zone. Is this maybe a bad UI that is incorporated into Thor UI? This did not start happening until after LU 25. I contacted SOE and they have no reported bugs that have this issue, they said that it may be my UI.

**Faetyl** · #11 08-07-2006, 09:24 PM

No offense to SOE but they ALWAYS point towards the UI being the cause.
I run a separate install completely clean of ANY changes and I mean ANY changes.
I have had the issue you mentioned.
I've confirmed the same issue with my clean install and I have /bug reported the issue.

If it was UI related it would be related to the examine xml (which I don't modify in any way for the ThorUI)

/bug report it.
It takes more than a handful of people to show there's an issue before they devote resources to it (I don't blame them)...
With this being such a defined issue, I can see it taking some time for them to take us seriously.

Livinlifex · #12 08-08-2006, 04:12 PM

LOL well, you are the first person other that I who has confirmed this issue. It is driving me nits because not many seem to have this problem. I even tried uninstalling the game, deleting all the patches and reinstalling it. And Yes, I did /bug report it. I really didn't think it was the UI itself, being that this did not happen until after LU25. However, I thought I would double check it anyhow being that this bug is driving me nuts, lol.

When i go to sub zones the dots on the map do not work. Like regular zones. Whenu mouse over dot in regular zones it tells you what it is, but the other zones like POF and the clifts of Rujark etc are not working.

Sounds like an issue better posted in the EQ2map forums

brigglesworth · #15 09-01-2007, 07:12 PM

I've been using Thorui for as long as it's been out. I had some recent computer issues and had to reinstall. I downloaded the autoinstaller and installed it. When I try to run the AU I get the message "The specified procedure could not be found." and then the AU window loads up but doesn't do anything. I'm an idiot when it comes to computer stuff so that's all I know to say.

I tried a search and I did not see anything on this, I may have just missed it. But as soon as I start the AU it stops and says Operastion canceled by error or user request. Everytime I hit update it says this.

**Faetyl** · #22 12-03-2007, 07:55 PM

Yep, issue identified and tracked here:

Barupi10 · #23 12-08-2007, 07:27 PM

when I start the updater I get two messages some long code in the top part and a Service Unavailable in the bottom. Are my Thor UI days over or is there a fix for this ?

I would post the code here but its wicked long and for some reason my cut / paste isnt working.

Thanks
