Donnelaith · #1 07-13-2006, 02:33 PM

no matter what I try to do I keep getting a popup ingame saying that I need to update my UI for the inventory or revert back to default as its not supported by the new patch as of this morning. Ive tried deleting just the inventory files out of the ThorUI folder and everything. Whats gunna happen with this? and does anyone have any ideas how to fix this as I cant see anything inventory related....kinda hard to play when you cant see your armor weapons or money. I dont want to revert to default as this is the best UI ever and default is horrible

1.) Run the ThorUI AU and let it update your inventory window
Note: If you were using "Jaxel's Inventory window you will need to either 1.) switch to my version or 2.) use another author's version separate from the ThorUI.

FYI on the original post that contains all this information...

Well I know to remove it you could just add the line:

cl_movie_enabled 0

To the eq2.ini file. I dunno if you just wanna add a checkbox to enable/disable the movie, and that would change which eq2.ini file to update to (with or without that line included). Getting really tired of seeing it every time, but I love my Thor and my auto updates, so I put up with it hehe.

**Faetyl** · #4 07-13-2006, 10:09 PM

hehe thanks for the info you saved me the time to research it.
I'll deffinately add it.
I'd guess about 90%+ click past it so i don't see any issues with making it standard.
If a ThorUI user wants the move they can just remove the line and ensure the "do not update if..." is selected.

Thanks again for your positive feedback, suggestions, and the info!

--Edit--
Done

Thorui is great i love it, but just recently i have discovered 2 problems i dont know how to fix.

firstly, in one of my alt tab moods i've switched back into the game and my experience bar made up of personal xp, guild xp and tradskill xp is half the size of what it usually is. which is kinda cool, but its just that little bit too small for me to be able to read, how can i make it a bit bigger?

and for the important one, i have been unable thus far to be able to get a manual version of eq2map and thorui. I've found plenty of places to teach you how to install the automatic version, but this is not an option for me, so please dont say just download that version. Any idea's would be extremely helpful, cos after a week i've given up searching and trying, and unfortunately eq2map > thorui and i dont want to have to remove thorui because i've grown to love it.

You could just do what I do....that being clicking past everything (the movie and following advertisements) to the actual loading process.

Upon using the auto updater everything so far runs smoothly except the timer. The Built in timer that you use by clicking the appropiate amount of secs or minutes ... i.e. for mob casting etc. When the window comes up you can see the secs but the bars are black and i dont get the additional box thats listed in the "..." button on the auto updater anyway to fix this am i doing somthing wrong that would cause this to happen.

**Faetyl** · #8 08-16-2006, 04:18 PM

I'd recommend deleting the thorui folder in the EverQuest II\UI folder
Then relaunch the ThorUI AU and let it pull everything back down.
It's possible the updater pulled down a graphic dds file and corrupted it.

Lyricaldiva · #9 08-16-2006, 08:14 PM

Okay i reloaded and upon adjusting the mouse over opacity etc i can see somewhat the markers and the timers is there a setting i need to have this on to see the timer consistantly when i mouse over it all gets dark again. Also what about the big box thats displayed on the "..." in the advanced option i dont see that box at all . The one thats listed under the slider picture.

Vrain · #10 08-16-2006, 08:59 PM

Greetings all,

I was just given a Gateway 19" FPD1975W TFT LCD Monitor (HD Wide Screen) Since I hooked it up when I am in game all the Font's are way out of proportion and I can not seem to get them to scale down to be able to read everything. I have played with the Display settings but that does not seem to be helping.

Any help is greatly appreciated. 1280x1024 is my current setting..

Thanks,

**Faetyl** · #11 08-17-2006, 01:14 AM

I play at that same resolution minus the widescreen...
I'm guessing you may need to adjust your screen res to accomodate playing in wide screen mode.
Perhaps 1280x960 or 1280x800
I'm just guessing though.
Maybe someone else who plays in widescreen and who can assist you better will respond.

Click the little button in the lower left hand corner of each timer to bring up the cfg screen.

Not sure why it's "getting dark" with mouse over though...
Default is to show at full opacity at all times.
May want to move the window settings sliders all the way up as they must have been adjusted to hide the window at some point.

I lost my hard drive so this is definitely a clean install. I have recovered (or improved) all my previous wonderful ThorUI settings except I swear I had the slim pet window before. I cannot seem to get anything but the larger one to show now. I tried deleting and resetting also am using the wizard still no luck. Thank you in advance.

kwee · #14 09-02-2006, 07:22 AM

If my prevous post needs to be redirected to another forum for an answer; please let me know.

Thank you.

ShadowProwler420 · #15 09-02-2006, 10:11 AM

Sounds like you didn't have the correct pet window selected in the updater.

If you have already realized that, and tried fixing it by only selecting the one you want, then you will need to delete the file for the larger one then rerun the updater to pull the file for the slim window down (the updater doesn't delete any files for you).

The easiest thing to do would be to delete the entire thorui folder in your EverQuest II\UI directory and rerun the autoupdater after you have selected all the windows you want. Or, if you know the file name (which I don't right offhand), you could just delete the single file and run the updater.

Hello There. Wonderful UI. I switched over from Fetish that had a Night Vision button that made life easier. I noted that you answered an other question in regards to this and I found it a little vague being an EQ2 noob and all. Any chance you can break it down for me? The other UI that have this option just aren't as clean as yours.

**Faetyl** · #18 09-08-2006, 01:44 PM

Use my startbutton feature and you will have the nightvision toggle ability.

Follow the main directions on how to access the features and expand the mainhud section and then expand the startbutton section.
Make sure a check mark is in the box and then click on the "..." button for more info and a screenshot.

The night vision button is the green mask icon.
Note: You must be in "medium" performance or better to see the nightvision change.

Let me know if you need more info.
I can help further via MSN Messenger or teamspeak...

Speaking of which...
I hope to work with a new programmer soon so we can recode the AutoUpdater and make it a bit more intuitive.

Robert/MrNice "the original AU programmer" did an amazing job but i've lost contact with him unfortunately.

My original plan was to make a universal AU that anyone could use for not only games but other resources.
That's still my goal with the AU so if any talented and trusted programmers out there are looking to advertise your programming skills, please contact me...
Either that or I'm going to need to become even more of a tech geek and learn how to make the program my self.

Seahawkin · #19 09-08-2006, 04:19 PM

Thanks for the super fast answer. That kicks ass

My hubby will be so pleased as well because we love the UI, a good EQ UI is hard to find and this one the one thing confounding us. Thanks a lot.

kdempseyjr · #20 09-13-2006, 10:12 AM

Okay, in your UI, In the inventory box, I have boxes for all slots except for EARS and NECK items. Getting to be a pain to type in /use_equipped_item11.

**Faetyl** · #21 09-13-2006, 10:44 AM

look at the instructions for the feature

All features have instructions for them in the ThorUI AU (The little "..." button next to each feature)
This is also stated in the main instructions.

Basically you should see a button on the top left of the inventory window.
Click that to expand the window.

I am looking at remodding this window due to so many with the same issue (So don't feel bad, it's not just you.)

munkieNS · #22 09-13-2006, 12:51 PM

After Update 27 the inventory window seems to be stuck in the "slim" or "enhanced" mode. I want the full version, how it was before the update, but I don't have any screenshot to display what I'm talking about. It's the one with the larger window, in the middle was either your character paperdoll or your general stats, and then to the left and right of him were equip slots, and below were bags slots, ammo slots and the like. Is there any way to get this back?

**Faetyl** · #23 09-13-2006, 03:02 PM

That's the default inventory window.

Just deselect mine and follow the instructions for removing features. (Also on the main instructions page)

mbncd · #24 09-15-2006, 06:18 PM

Ever since the inventory "fix", my inventory window won't come up at all. Shortcut keys n the shortcut button in the EQ2 main menu don't seem to do a single thing now. If I click the bags button I can still access everything in my bags but activating equipped charms is hard now and its impossible for me to move entire bags and boxes to and from the bank like I always do when tradeskilling.

The thing is that I don't have your inventory window selected, and it still uses it in the game. I know it's not just my install either, because my girlfriend did a fresh install of EQ2 to test that and it's still got the same problem.
