I have everything in place in the UI I'm trying to learn to build. But how can I access the info center. I know in Fetish Nightfall I could bring up the recipe window and click on the ? to bring it up.

Once you're in the game, you can call up the info center any time you like by typing "/show_window Journals.InfoCenter" (or by creating a macro to do it for you).

Shown on the download page.
try renaming the fine to something like eq2ui_journals_newcenter.xml
new you can use: /show_window Journals.InewCenter
good luck

i could do that but eventually i would forget. I use the map updater, can I set it up by clicking on the question mark that use to be used for heelp to bering up the info center, if so how would i go about doing it. If i have to edit the xml file for it, I can do that but i need to know how to set it up in the xml file and what file would be involved in that process.

I too am having difficulties since EoF, my infocenter now only shows a black screen. I'm running on Landlin's Extreme ui atm, but it was working fine before the update. I've tried downloading the newest infocenter pack, even went in and took everything out and redid, still, just a black screen. I'm lost as to what to do, and landlin advixed me to come here. Please, any advice on where to check?

I know that it's tough to keep everything up to date, the game is changing so much all the time. I went through and updated the bones/shards colection page with the current information. These were all checked in-game as of 11/18/2006.

I am having the same problem. Using Extreme UI as well. I downloaded infocenter myself like he said and extraced the files to the extreme UI folder. When I try to open the infocenter through the button in the extreme UI or manually by using "/show_window Journals.InfoCenter" I get a black screen. It shows nothing except all black. I've tried everything. I dont know what to do at this point.

EDIT: Landiin said he forgot to take the old info center files out and he will do that tonight so i'm hoping that solves the black screen problem. Alot of ppl posted in the Extreme thread about the black screen so I think the fix is only on his end. I will post an update if it still shows up as a black screen after the Extreme UI update tonight. Take care, love the infocenter!

i guess im just stupid, i have done every thing step by step and have read the help forums and i do the command to bring up the window and NOTHING happens! only UI extra I have is EQ2 map for POIs.

Nitefang · #**207** 11-23-2006, 09:53 AM

just a thought that may help - assuming you have it installed correctly - make sure you're typing the command exactly as I have it here - its case sensitive and has to match perfectly:

/show_window MainHud.Journals.Infocenter

hope that helps !

Im using profitUI. Anyway it inculdes Milquetowst InfoCenter, I had this before LU#29 and I could add to notes and it worked just fine. Reinstalled the Profit reborn UI and tried editing the notes. No luck at all. Its just showing its default notes. To edit notes go to etc etc.... please help!

DBurgdorf · #**210** 11-23-2006, 02:57 PM

More updates....

I've added pages for the various new signature quests, but as with most of the pages for the new heritage quests, they're blank at the moment. I'll add actual walk-thrus as soon as eq2.ogaming.com gets complete versions up.

I've added basic info on religion in Norrath, as well as a list of the gods who can currently be worshipped. I've also added an overview of secondary tradeskills (tinkering and transmuting) and adornments. The files are not intended to be exhaustive by any stretch of the imagination, but they should at least help to clear up some of the more common sources of confusion regarding how all the new stuff works.

Finally, I've updated a great many other pages with bits and pieces of EoF-related info. But there's still lots more to be added, so work (and play) continues....

And by the way, Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a quick update, I had posted a couple days ago about the Infocenter not working as intended and showing up as a black box in Extreme UI. It turned out to be an ExtremeUI only issue as Landiin has fixed whatever was causing the problem and its now back to normal and working better then ever. We all appreciate the updates you do and hope to see more coming as more and more info/guides/strategies regarding new EoF stuff is available.

One more thing...my question is will you ever or have you thought about making some kind of control panel or program where files will update automatically for infocenter or are updates not that frequent to warrant something like that? Was just curious as i'm so used to the infocenter files being pushed through the Extreme AUCP. I assume I should re download the infocenter.zip everytime you make a change or updates, etc. ?
Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

SiNiStEr_NaTiOn · #**213** 11-25-2006, 12:31 AM

Well i had over came my problem, i downloaded a EQ2 start button that has the Info Center in it, so I can access the Info Center very easy.

Platinum · #**214** 11-26-2006, 08:20 PM

The file "eq2ui_mainhud_infocenter.xml" is missing from the current available .Zip file.. Either I'm blind or it's missing because I scoured the entire zip folder and did not find it. Took me the last hour to figure out why I was unable to find the window in game and finally looked through the zip folder and noticed the file wasn't in the folder at all.

*****Edit*****

having reviewed the last 10 posts I found that the UI command is actually /show_window Journals.InfoCenter and not a Mainhud... I'm a huge Novice to this so it was a large headache for me not to know this without scouring the thread for the correct command..

Note: I do hope the "information" on how to install this Modification/Addon will be modified to show that the command to open this window will reflect as "/show_window Journals.InfoCenter"

FloridaFringe · #**215** 11-26-2006, 08:33 PM

The current version doesn't use that file. It has it's own window now and is independant of that particular file.

In the zip you should have:

eq2ui_journals.xml
eq2ui_journals_infocenter.xml
infocenter folder

Um, that file hasn't existed since late January, when it was pointed out to me that it would be easier to have the Info Center called from the seldom-updated "eq2ui_journals.xml" file rather than from the frequently-updated "eq2ui_mainhud.xml" file.

Smut · #**217** 11-30-2006, 11:00 AM

I asked this a few days ago but I didnt get a response. Not sure if you missed it or whatever. Do you plan on or have you thought about making an auto updating control panel for info center where files are updated automatically? Or are updates not frequent enough to warrant something like that?

I assume anytime there is an update that I need to re download the info center zip right? I just want to make sure as I had ExtremeUI update the files automatically for a long time so I wanted to doublecheck. Thanks!

Lodrelhai · #**218** 11-30-2006, 11:10 AM

A new update requires a fresh download, yes. As for an auto-updater, no clue what DBurgdorf may have planned, and that does sound very cool, but I'd be worried about it overwriting files I've customized, like the Notes. Which I guess is a risk of any ui you mod after installing, but then, I think all individual-piece mods require a fresh download for updates.

**gm9** · #**219** 11-30-2006, 11:21 AM

Just right click any file you customized, go to properties and set it to read-only. Prevents accidental overwrites when updating.

I seem to average about three updates per month, so I'm not sure that they're really frequent enough to make an auto-updater necessary. That having been said, it's certainly not a bad idea, regardless. There's just one small problem: I haven't a clue how to create such a thing.

That information has in fact been clearly included on the Info Center's download page all along. Unless you've been using it without an update since January, I'm frankly not sure where you got the old command from in the first place.

FloridaFringe · #**222** 11-30-2006, 07:28 PM

Just in case anyone's interested, or just missed this, here is a great little mod so that you don't even need the command or a macro:

Got back into the game today, first time in over a week, and all my UI mods were disabled. The only change I had made since last log-on was to install the latest Info Center, so I removed the eq2ui_journals.xml and eq2ui_journals_infocenter.xml files and reloaded. Everything worked again (except the info center, of course). Ockham's Razor, the problem is most likely here.

Here's the text from the ui log:

I love InfoCenter, great mod and I find myself using it alot. However I do have one issue that may not even be related to Infocenter itself as much as to my EQ2map setup: All the quests etc in InfoCenter only give 2 coordinates for locations, which means I can't make a way point or anything in EQ2map, as it uses 3 coordinates. I also notice that some of the locations given have the first 2 coordinates, or 1 & 3, but not the 2nd (1,2,3 for example may look like 1,2 or 1,3 in the quest lists) Was wondering if I was the only one with this issue. I have Infocenter, Eq2map, and Milquetowst Clock & Compass as my only UI add ins. Again Love the Infocenter, please keep up the good work.

From your posted error log, its clear you were in fact running a StartButton mod not a part of InfoCenter. Based on this file reference "eq2ui_journals_coinweight.xml" I'm guessing Goldi's ComandCenter or some dirivitive of it. That mod very likely included a Journals.Inventory window which was incompatable with the EOF update. When that mod failed to load, it prevented other stuff in the Journals branch from loading, like InfoCenter.

When you restored the default eq2ui_journals.xml file, it just happened to also disable the problem window. To the best of my knowledge, InfoCenter alone did not break or cause breakage with the EOF release.
