netwerkingyuppie · #**1201** 11-30-2005, 09:51 PM

getting the crashes JT mentioned but only after i die.
i rename the fetish folder to load default when i log in, and all works fine.
once i am revived, i can re-apply the fetish folder and all is fine.
known issue, or just me?

This same thing is happening to me. I tried replacing the files that were listed in the update notes as having been altered but that did not fix the problem when death occurs. I am assuming this is because the pop up window for where to revive has been altered but am not sure exactly which window this is.

Blaydes · #**1203** 11-30-2005, 10:19 PM

Same here - any know of a fix....default UI not even working .....

Buravid · #**1204** 11-30-2005, 10:42 PM

eq2ui_mainhud_death.xml (in the fetishui folder) seems to be causing the crashing problem that occurs when you try to load after you die. If you rename this file to something like eq2ui_mainhud_death.BAK, everything works fine.

Note: Don't delete your recent.ini like somebody said below. It doesn't fix this problem and it erases all of your settings.

Will my UI Fetish UI still work?

Buravid · #**1206** 11-30-2005, 10:58 PM

Mine does JT, all I did was what I posted in the fix below. Try it and see if it works for you.

JTdesertace · #**1207** 11-30-2005, 11:17 PM

i changed that death fill like you said but it still crased but before it even made it to my toon this time any other fixes maybe?

Buravid · #**1208** 11-30-2005, 11:28 PM

Make sure you are changing the death file that is in your fetishui folder.

JTdesertace · #**1209** 11-30-2005, 11:32 PM

Thanks now when can i change it back to an .xml file?

TheFamilyMcInni · #**1210** 11-30-2005, 11:41 PM

Exact same thing is happening to me. I renamed the XML file listed in Buravid's post and it works fine now and i only have the default death window, which is fine until the UI is repaired.

Thanks for the great post Buravid...

To make the Hotkey errors go away I renamed eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey.xml to eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey.BAK in the fetishui folder. This changes you back to the default hotkeys.

To make the Icon Size slider work, open eq2ui_hud.xml in your fetishui folder using "Notepad". Then insert a new line with the following code:

Code:

<include>eq2ui_hud_slider.xml</include>

right after the line that reads:

Code:

<include>eq2ui_hud_selection.xml</include>

You should make a backup copy of your eq2ui_hud.xml file first in case you mess something up by accident.

Is there an update coming for LU17? I know one of the windows that have changed is the claim window. I just passed an anniversary and can't claim it. Also, I have been receiving the same error message about incompatible windows. Thirdly, I had the same problem with crashing. I deleted (renamed) eq2_recent.ini and that did not work. I ended up having to delete all the ini files except eq2.ini, <id>_characters.ini and <server>_<character>_eq2_uisettings.ini. The other ini files were regenerated and now work fine. The only other ini files left after that were: original_uisettings.ini, eq2_default.ini, and eq2_recent.ini. I supposed that since the recent deletion had not worked previously that this file is not the culprit. The file dates on the other two were at least a couple months old, so there must be an incompatability issues with these files. it looks like original_uisettings.ini us a binary file, so that might be the wicked monkey that is causing all the problems.

Again, many thanks to Zonx and crew for their hard work. I am about to start cracking open UIBuilder to see if there is anything that I can be more proactive about in troubleshooting issues. If anyone has some feedback for a person that is just venturing into UI editting, I would really appreciate it. I do have quite a bit of HTML/XHTML coding experience but I'm sure Sony has a lot of proprietary stuff in there as well.

Take care, and see you on in game!

EDIT:

Well, According to the posts from Buravid, the issue was with one of the Fetish XML files (eq2ui_mainhud_death.xml), so all of the other things I did were probably a waste of time. They did fix the problem. I will change everything back (because I always make a backup before I make changes) and see if everything is ok. I'll update everything to my findings.

Hello everyone!

First off a very hearty THANK YOU to Zonx for this awesome UI!!

Second I have a question or two about your autoupdater which I see is now in developement (this will be VERY cool).

I use a couple of other add ins that have been modified to the Fetish Nightfall theme such as Goldi's start button, and Milquetowst's Help and Guild Windows. Are there checkboxes or something to uncheck so that the updater will not over write specific files?

Also, I've always used the EQ2Maps updater and it's always updating maps and what not but I know that your UI includes maps too. Should I not be using the EQ2Maps updater or how exactly is that supposed to work?

Thanks in advance for any answers/input anyone may have!

valcra · #**1214** 12-01-2005, 12:55 PM

mO.Om The auto updater is out? where? do tell =)

Thanks Val

Kazgore · #**1215** 12-01-2005, 01:14 PM

In Zonx's own forum!

Grats Zonx!

iasmin · #**1216** 12-01-2005, 04:21 PM

Hmm. The forum is certainly there and a thread for the updater, but as best I can tell, that thread is merely for *development* of the updater. Maybe I'm mistaking it, but the only files or links are to screen shots of what's being developed, not what's *been* developed. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or missing it.

Elrathin · #**1217** 12-01-2005, 04:26 PM

Yeah I couldn't find the auto-updater either, just the development page for it.

Kazgore · #**1218** 12-01-2005, 04:30 PM

DOH >.< Profuse apologies I see upon review that you're absolutely right it's in developement but not released. I have revised my original question towards the future.

Drunador · #**1219** 12-01-2005, 04:50 PM

Is is SoE or is it Fetish Nightfall that causes EQ2 to crash if you die in Clefts of Rujark?

All I know is that in order to get alive and back to where ever you consider safe, i have to load the default UI and then get some wheres safe and log and come back in with Fetish and continue to play the game.

Not sure who is at fault but it is very very annoying.

Read above. Since SOE changed the way death works, it causes Fetish (and maybe other UIs, dont know) to crash upon death. Rename the eq2_mainhud_death.xml to something like eq2_mainhud_death.xml.BAK, and it'll then load the default revive window - should fix the crash problems until Zonx has an update.

Drunador · #**1221** 12-01-2005, 05:33 PM

Thanks for the advice will rename that file ASAP.
I checked the other Ui I use now and again and it does nto have that file in it at all.

Afuf_Ranger · #**1222** 12-01-2005, 09:18 PM

i have looked in the fetish ui file and am unable to find the mentioned file any hints?

**Zonx** · #**1223** 12-01-2005, 09:20 PM

Version 5.1 is available for download.

Version notes

Don't forget to rate the download and add it to your favorites if you haven't already

Note: EQ2Maps still has not updated their main map file. Rather than hold up my release any longer, I've posted this release to address a few bugs and the LU17a changes. Be sure to set your EQ2Maps Options to "Ask to replace MainHUD.Map" and choose "No" when asked.

**Zonx** · #**1224** 12-01-2005, 09:46 PM

Just uploaded a replacement for 5.1 that moves some of the Inventory "Use" buttons. If you already downloaded 5.1, you may want to redownload to get this tweak.

Loktha · #**1225** 12-01-2005, 10:38 PM

I'm not sure if it's just me, but there is now a button on the house access window that allows you to collect an item. Clicking this button brings up a new window which lists all the items currently placed in your house. The problem is, the window is completely black(other than the images for the items). There is no way to close the window, or select an item to remove.
