Fetish Nightfall Full Release

[Dae'lomdel]

AbakirkIII - Problems with /hidehood /hidehelm in what reagards? I am not having problem with my buttons (though I use Goldi's EQ2 button) and I am not having any problems with the actually / commands themselves. If you are talking about the options in the perosona window I know those were changed in the last LU to be a drop down instead of multiple check boxes.

So some more info as to which speicifc area isnt working would be great...

[geroth]

Absolutely love your ui... refuse to use anything else hehe.

The 2 targeting ring maps that show up at the bottom of the player's feet when you have them targeted would be really nice if they showed range for heals and maybye dps or whatever, or just 10m, 20m, 30m on it...

but will the ring allow you to make it that large?
and would it be able to be toggled off or need to be added as a separate add-on since not all players would like this?

but at any rate it would help out soooo much on raids...

Nope, haven't released an update for the last few minor window changes by SOE. Not sure when I'll get to these, they are extreamly minor.

Last I checked, the target ring files are overwritten by the client everytime you log in. Even if it is possible to retain changes to the ring files, max ring size isn't likely to be something you can change, nor is it likely you can attach data fields to the ring. At best you'd be able to change the graphic to include N, E, S, W directionals and stop it from spinning.

[geroth]

ya i was messing around with it myself trying to see if i could get it bigger, the size of it isnt changeable but the graphic is, oh well hehe.

though i have also been wondering if a bar that shows your current dps would be able to be added (from a damage parser, which i have no clue how you would have it monitored constantly for each encounter unless theres a parser out with the ability to constantly dump to clipboard, could make one for heals and one for dps parse if it's do-able in some way, maybye i'll talk to one of the guys who writes the parsers.)

oh well, more realistically... i'm working in 3d studio making a black metal skin for your ui and if i complete it any time soon i'll email it to ya to see if you like it , sooo many windows... sooo much modeling and mapping...

[IceMan020103]

I just installed this UI and i am very impressed. I just don't have my casting and breath progress bar....any idea's? Thanks

Not in-game as such, I don't think. The parser is out-of-game and processes log files. You can't pass data from an app to EQ2 (keypresses being an exception, as EQ2 has no way to know where they are coming from), for rather obvious reasons.

I think there was an "always-on-top" display window for the parser that would remain visible when you went to maximized windowed mode. And a FRAPS-like thing could be done too, I am sure - if FRAPS can show things in full-screen, so could a parser.

[geroth]

ya i pretty much assumed that this wasnt currently able to be done with the parsers / ui features available at this time, maybye sony will allow it to be done in one fashion or another soon since they never had anything against people using parsers and even use the parser info for their item changes sometimes when people complain. (Not that sony knows how to correctly modify an item it seems since eq1... i dunno wth they were thinking sometimes rofl, but oh well.)

i managed to crash my comp last nite trying to use a reflection style filter for the dds files (made with nvidia's shader program and some other 3rd party stuff) it did however reflect the mouse icon and background in the way i wanted but it seems that passing the ui windows over anything but "raid mode" low res non-shader model style textures causes a crash, i'll mess with it some more for fun and maybye add it into my black metal skin project that will be done in a few months. It causes lag due to way to much load on the card anyways so its pretty pointless and extremely buggy / unsupported anyways.

oh well im thru w/ trying the impossible and back to finding that perfect reflection map for my skin hehe (only 3.5 mil polygons on the chat window rofl, gogo 2hrs of modeling for one window.)

omg zonx if you used any 3d modeling programs to make the windows help me out and email me the models for them, tho im assuming you just went ahead and drew them up in a 2d program.

[Zonx]

geroth, in the images directory you'll find all the DDS files used to render every window element. The general FAQ on this site includes a link to DDS conversion tools provided by Invidia, one of which is a Photoshop plugin.

The easiest way to reskin everything is to replace the Fetish_widgets...dds files with revised images that use the same dimensions for each element in the DDS. If the element dimension change, you'll have to tweak FetishStyles.xml to accomodate the new dimensions.

[Dae'lomdel]

Geroth - Its not so much that is impossible to have a 3rd party program pass information to the eq2 client. Its just that is against the EULA and completely forbidden. Basically we are "stuck" using the data that SoE makes available in game, for each specific window... and thats it.

[Zonx]

The only way currently to get data into the EQ2 client, after launch, without breaking the EULA is via the HTML window. If the parser can write a simple HTML file, you could probably display it. The HTML window is still fairly buggy and has been known to crash EQ2.

Hope that helps...

I dont have that button on the Persona screen at all.

And there isnt a way to search the 65 pages in this thread - so can maybe someone be kind enough to repost it?

You would probably be better off redownloading the full UI, open it and find the file "eq2ui_mainhud_persona" and copy then paste it into your Fetish UI directory within the EQ2 custom Ui folder you're using.

Or, if you aren't using pieces from another UI, you could just replace the entire folder with the updated version. That would probably be the two easiest options for you.

[Zelindar]

I use Festish with the Command Center add-on. My EQ2 button is now missing and I've tried to get it back to no avail. I can see the button as I'm logging in but it poofs when I get fully into the game. I do have it when I log on alts.

How do I change my UI setting to load an alt's interface so I can get the button back or any other suggestion would be great. I miss the ability to change characters without logging out to the character select screen.

Thanks!

[The Griffon]

try /load_uisettings

That should give you a window with all your Alts names and let you pick which of there UI settings you want to use.

[Zelindar]

That did it! Thanks.

I am new to EQ..that said, I am not new to mods.I have modded others and installed them.

There 'was' a long info bar, had my money listed on there. It was there when I first loaded the UI and I moved it to the bottom of my screen.My game ,for some odd reason, went into a windows mode( where I can see the taskbar)..And the bar went missing. I found the toggle for full-screen again...but no bar. ANy ideas on getting it back?

Is there a reason my UI does not look like the one pictured? Is it becouse my character is in the noob area?

Actually, this is from a scratch install, wiht the posted combo patch from the DL page.

There is simply no "P" button to be found no matter how I resize it or reinstall.

Whats the actual "load" command - like /showindow whateveritsbasedon.custom_bar or something liek that?

I can toss that into a macro. Just coming back form a 3 month hiatus and a bit disappointed that the UI hasnt kep up. I was hoping people would donate some $$ to Zonk like I did so he could update a bit more often.

Also, woudl it be possible to get the "maintained with target adn timer" made at least an option to this mod? I add it in, but it uses some funky fonts since its so old - but as a coercer, I live and die by my spell timers.

[GeForceTony]

Awesome stuff Zonx!!! Glad to see the update... And now, I personally am waiting for the "real" version of the FetishClassic interface. But I can make due for now, as I have done some modding of my own and gotten most everything to look "Classic-ified" except for the text coloring, which I'm not really worried about, and will wait patiently for the Official release .

Zonx, you ROCK!!!

It's my persona bar that is missing. I tried to make a new character and direct the UI from that one...the new character had the persona bar, but when I typed in load_uisettings, and clicked on the new alt's' UI it did not add it..it did move the other UI bars to where the alt's' were BUT not add the persona bar back in.

I D/L just the persona bar..would it make a differance to un-install it, run the game ,let it save without it..then re-install just the persona bar??

[wintermute218]

First, I have to say this is my first UI and I think its incredible, this is what EQ2 *should* have looked like! Thank you!

This may be an EQ2 maps issue rather than a Fetish issue, but lately (seemingly since the last update) my EQ2 maps has been on the fritz.

When I say fritz, I mean I will be running around a zone (its happened in both Feerott and Rivervale) and all of a sudden the map will refresh and I will be in a completely different location on the map. So in Feerott I was running towards CT the map crossed over and I saw the right side of the map, then it refreshed and it showed me on the left side of the map. The same thing happened to me in Rivervale.

Anyone else seeing this issue, or have a fix?

Chumba, other than an issue with saving custom keyboard layouts and a recently added Journal tag for category, the UI is up-to-date. You shouldn't need to install any patches, probably what's hosing your Persona window.

elfwanderer, open the Persona window and press the "P" button in the titlebar.

wintermute218, known issue with the View Any Map plugin and multi-map zones. To resolve the issue, select the correct map from the menues and press the "S" button. Avoid crossing map swap lines with the map window open.

Got me an updated copy of the Advanced Combat Tracker, and what do you know - it's already got an option "Export EQ2 compatible HTML to view in-game". Then all you got to do is /show_window Inventory.HTML - which is most easily done, I believe, by creating a macro for it.
