Default 1600x1200 Window Placements

I would REALLY like a 1600x1200 window placements file. This is the mode I always run in. I tried loading one of the other placements and moving stuff around, but it didn't work out. I'm sure alot of other people also run in this resolution. I'm just surprised no one has asked sooner.

Thanks

Default Enhanced Shutdown Window

I really love the enhanced shut down window with fast character switching. Of course, being a ThorUI user, I obviously demand more.

Sooo.. How bout a character switch that skips the delay for camping, and instead uses the /quit command, then loads up the next character?

That as far as I know can't be done, the only way to skip camping to is to /quit which exits EQ2. Then you would have to relaunch the game and a UI mod could not do this, it would have to be a outside application

That's incorrect. You must be thinking of the /exit command, which closes EQ2. The /quit command brings you back to the character selection screen.

Default Pet, Inventory & Other

I tried both pet window options. Those things are HUGE. I tried to drop the OCD pet window in, but the power and health bar don't work. So a slim pet window would be great.

I also tried both Inventory window options. I like that you included the old OCD one, it is one of my favorites. But it has no Food buttons. Thanks to SOE you cannot eat without being able to get to the Food buttons. So I dropped in depechenode's Advanced Inventory LU16 Window.

It would be nice if the AU could be told to ask before it overwrites files. I got the directions for doing the Quick Change shutdown. Then the AU prompty overwrote the file.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Pet Window: I'll see what I can do. (Did you know you can close the pet window via ALT+P and you can drag and drop the pet command buttons to your hotbar and control him from those without the pet window at all?)

Do not update:
That's an excellent idea and yes MrNice and I already included that as an option

See screenshot attachments...

Also, I suggest making a copy of any edited versions of your files as an extra safeguard. Just leave them in the thorui folder as "copy of" and all will be fine.

/quit does indeed take you back to the character selection screen and that is what the camp to character window cuts out therefore saving just a bit of time.

That's the fastest we can go from character to character at this time unless SOE provides another option. Sorry

More details: The camp funtion actually begins a process in which several things happen. Character data is sent to the server and your window placements file is updated at camp. (among a few others I'm sure that I am not aware of at this time)

Oh, and it never hurts to demand more

So there's no way to bypass the camping countdown when you use the character switcher? Also, does it skip saving window positions when you /quit? I very rarely actually /camp.

I'm not aware of a way to bypass camping for switching characters.

I just tested this for sure before answering and it does indeed appear to save window positions when using /quit. (I was wrong )

I'll look closer at this one and see if it is indeed posible...

Unhappy Chat sources

I'd like to see the "XXXXXXX says to the guild" removed from the chat. I've color coded all my chat so I already know what channel I'm talking in. I don't need it repeated back to me every time I hit enter while chatting to my guild or my group. At the very least, it should be an option.

Where did the Thor map go? You know the one... shrinkable, bottom of the map drop down menus for ALL map areas.

All I can get is this huge blue framed thing that takes up most of the screen. I have to keep closing it in order to explore an area. And NO drop down menus even tho I have the AU set to install them.

Badattitude,

I've wanted this forever. Even since eq1. I don't believe this is possible through UI modding however. An option to show/not should would be a great. A way to personally customize would be even better!

I agree with you in saying that you can't "skip" the camp countdown. The fastest way I know of to switch characters is to use the "quick switch" mods that I have seen floating around made by Deathbane.

I'm sure you guys know of it, but incase you don't, what it does is camps, and then it skips the character select screen and goes straight to loading the next character. So, 20 seconds to camp, bam, next character loading. I can switch characters in 30-40 seconds depending on what zones I am in.

However, I wonder if it would be possible to incoporate something to do something like...

1) /camp
2) /quit
3) "quick load character" function here

I don't know what exactly the code does that makes it skip the character select screen, but you UI geniuses could probably figure it out and see if it is indeed possible...

The only issue I see is if you /camp then /quit if the /quit overrides the /camp and you get the "link death" issue where you can't log back in for like 3 minutes...

So many issues, so little time for me to figure it out. Maybe one of you guys can get it. If you have any questions, let me know - I'm pretty smart about these kinds of things so I can give insight even if I don't know the hard facts.

Mouse over pictures (or attached pictures) included with Poll questions (here on the website). I wasn't totally sure what you meant by reverse chat - I'm assuming you mean the chat with the tabs on the bottom though - I voted that I don't use those.

I can certainly understand that request but please understand I'm only one guy here and I have a life that needs tending to every so often.

With UI updates, AU uploads, Forum here, Guild, Guild events and website, Real Life, and actually attempting to play EQ2 I have to cut corners somewhere

After all, I'm trying to get rid of the feature to save me time with updates.
I don't want you to see it and say oooo I want that!

ALT+~ toggles the start button.
lol I didn't know about this one.

Man I would love to see this in a separate help text in the GUI that would be awesome.


Another suggestion (if it is at ALL possible). I would like to be able to add my own personal POI's to the map somehow for information that others probably wouldn't care about, but stuff I might use. I'd like to be able to add a unique dot (one that shows it's my own) then be able to add a note to it somewhere within the gui. I'm guessing this sort of thing can't be done though else it would have been done already but it's on of the very few things I miss from WoW.

The other features I miss include:

1. the ability to have a 'scratch pad' I can keep notes on within the game (without having to alt-tab out that is). I used to use it to keep notes on players (kinda like a santa's naughty and nice list).

2. The GUI I was using was able to (somehow) use custom made chat channels to let me know when other players were using the same GUI I was, it also used those same channels to let me send and receive POI's to and from other players. So if I got lost - someone with the same GUI could send me a POI that I could then go too.

I'm not sure how much of that is actually do-able here - but man that would be awesome to be able to do again. That GUI I had used there was called Cosmos - while I know these are two separate games - here's a link to their site, who knows maybe something there might help here?

The "slimline" inventory is mine and it had the food & water slots the week before they came available with LU16.
Post me a screen shot in the UI help forum and we'll look into this one further.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will uninstall the UI and reinstall if that doesnt work I will get a screenshot up for you.

Okay I just reinstalled and I may have asked for the wrong thing. I use the Jaxel slimline inventory option so I doubt you update that one but it is out of date.

Gotcha, Jaxel just recently posted that he is departing and won't be updating his mods.
I'll try and see if I can offer something similar.
