ThorUI AU GU27 Compatible

**Faetyl** · #1 09-06-2006, 03:49 PM

Sorry for the delay on this update.
I had no idea they were pushing GU27 today.
(Speaking of which, sure would be nice if we could get prior warning from a SOE rep on the eq2interface forums or main EQ2 forums.)
please please with jum jum pies on top

Knowing the updatea are coming and preparing for them is one thing.
Knowing when the push will happen so we can keep all of our users operational is another.

Anyway, as you probably have read by now the inventory window is the issue this time around.
If you were using my inventory window mod you had the issue and will need to launch the ThorUI AU for the fix.

Note: This is a temporary fix and I am working on my modding the inventory window from scratch yet again... /sigh

Once again, sorry for the delay on this.
As you know i've always prided myself on having the updates applied as the servers go down but I had no idea this GU was this morning.

I've patched my inventory window and made it available via the Auto Updater.

For any other interface authors pulling their hair out trying to figure out what SOE did to break your inventory mod...
They "require" the paperdoll and tint objects or the game won't load.
So if you don't have the paperdoll and tint object in the inventory window you are only going to get client crashes...

FYI, not sure why they changed it (maybe it's meant to be an improvement) but the new paperdoll is, "IMO", terrible...
Also, it appears to modify the contrast of the entire screen when the inventory window is opened... odd stuff...

they changed it so as to allow you to do a 360 degree view of your toon (see: Cloaks)

Doh

Well that makes sense as to why they changed it...
Thank you for the clarification!

Not sure why they are making it mandatory in the inventory window or the game won't play though.
I moved the paperdoll to the Persona Window way back when...
I just think it makes more sense there but i've been known to be a bit odd myself.

Ran the AU and still getting client crash when logging in character. Am I missing something?

Delete the eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml file from your thorui directory and rerun the updater to pull a fresh copy.

what about another 'hide' button on the top right of the inventory to show / hide the paperdoll? also can the new doll be resized?

**Faetyl** · #8 09-07-2006, 09:11 AM

Yeah
The paperdoll is in my persona window and you can resize it to take up the whole screen if you wish.

I put the paperdoll back in my inventory window because it has to be there for now but I hid it so we don't have to see it in two places.
I'm working on recoding my inventory window and hope to make it so more like it. (It's always been 50/50 with either people who like it or people who miss the paperdoll full view or just don't like the toggle button.
I'll see what I can come up with that still allows me to keep the inventory window up for quick access as that's always been my top priority.

As for the other post regarding still crashing.
Yes, if you ever move/copy/modify any of the files the Auto Updater will stop automatically detecting the files as "updatable". (It works off of file date & time stamps.)
Deleting the single inventory item with the issue will work or you can delete the entire thorui folder to ensure all files are being updated as they should.

well 3 times now ive reinstalled and the game still crashes when the char starts to load, im getting to the point that i may just use the SOE default since every LU the UI's keeps getting broken.

I agree that maybe SOE could inform the modders who do a damm good job in makeing theses very usefull tools a few days warning of it going live.
Getting frustrated but not at the UI modders.

Ixoa

Ok it works only if i delete the inventory_inventory file i donno if this helps but after i do that and redo the update and check the date on the above file it says 01-01-2005 modified. but still crashes the game.

Ixoa

date/time stamp should be 1/1/2005 1:09:00 AM

I don't understand why it isn't working for you.
