Current Version: 2.2.2
(Looking for an older version? Click Here)
((Main Info))
Quote:

[2.2.1]
* Added necessary font files to the zip again. (oops)

[2.2]
* LU21 compatible.
* Fully compatible with 1024x768 resolutions and higher.
* New default ui_settings for 1024x768.
* Added default ui_settings for 1280x1024 with chat window tabs and bag locations already set up (choose 1280x1024-c&b for this one).
* Updated to Milquetowst Info Center release 060325.
* Added Mini Intro-Screen (after character creation) to complement mini-zoning screen (fixes the black screen during intro bug).
* Fixed display of guild members online to show 0 when unguilded.
* Target window expands automatically when selecting the larger icon size via the frame and titlebar setting.
* Optional mini inventory window included based on Geniva's Smaller Invetory with only minor modifications..
* Start Button:
- Size of start button reduced.
- New button for opening the new Zone Lockout Timers window on start button.
- Panic button can be disabled by setting "frame and title" to "none".
- Fixed shadow buttons to be clickable again.
* Hotbars:
Changed behaviour for "frame & titlebar" settings:
(None): No bank select arrows shown, no shortcut keys shown.
(Frame Only): No bank select arrows shown, visibility of shortcut keys controllable via frame opacity settings.

- HOTFIX: Setting default chat channels should work properly now.

(Frame and Titlebar): Chat input possible, must have tabs. If you want to use this without tabs, change frame and backdrop to the minimum or it will look ugly.

[2.0] by gm9
Too many to list. See post #10 for complete list.
READ CAREFULLY
2.x Installation Instructions:
1. Download the attached ZIP file at the bottom of this post.
2. Extract it to your EQ2 directory. This will not overwrite any installation of ProfitUI < v2.x, since it installs into a new folder (ProfitUI instead of Profit18).
NOTE: You'll have to copy all other mods you want to keep over to that folder, e.g. eq2map (or just have it auto-update to the new folder).
3. Rename your {server}.{toon}_eq2_uisettings.ini in your EQ2 directory to and add .bak to the end of it.
4. Start the game. When it first loads up, it will prompt you asking what layout you would like to import - choose whichever resolution you use. Otherwise you may have to manually set each window's setting. For example, if you cannot type in your chat window, you'll need to right click it and select "frame and titlebar". If you choose the wrong one, delete your {server}.{toon}_eq2_uisettings.ini and restart the game.
**** CHECK POST #4 FOR MORE DETAILED INSTALLATION INFO ****
|
((Where to Start))
Quote:
1. Start by downloading the "clean" version of ProfitUI on the bottom of this post. The file name is ProfitUI_xx.zip, the number will change depending on the version.
2. Follow the install instructions posted above, or if you're still confused check out the ((Tips & Tricks)) on post #4 in this thread for more detailed instructions/troubleshooting.
3. Visit the ((Modifications)) and ((Fixes)) sections on post #2 and #3 for some goodies and fixes for any issues you may be having.
4. Log in to the game and enjoy! Post any questions you have here but be sure to read all of the posts before you do! You'd be amazed at what treasures you can find buried in all this information
|
- PVP Server players: Open up eq2ui_mainhud.xml in your EverQuest II\UI\Profit18 directory in Notepad or Wordpad and add the line:
Code:
<include>eq2ui_mainhud_pvpimmunity.xml</include>
Save the file and log back in.
- This interface was designed for 1280x1024 and 1024x768 resolutions. (Other resolution layouts in the works, if you have one please PM me with your config file!)
- This interface was designed to have Smooth Font and Small Fonts options OFF. (Game Options -> User Interface -> Game Windows -> "Smooth Fonts"/"Use Small sans serif font")
Quote:
If you would like to use smooth fonts, put speedline.ttf and highspeed.ttf into your c:\windows\fonts or c:\winnt\fonts folder. Also make sure they are in Sony\EverQuest II\UI\Fonts

[center] ((Tips & Tricks))
- Stopping the intro movie from playing every time you start the game: Open up your eq2.ini file in a text editor (wordpad, notepad, etc) and add this bit of code on a new line, save the file and fire up the game.
- When using the minimap plugin and clicking the "Normalize" button, the map window wont expand, just the zone map inside of it. To correct this issue, click the Restore/Minimize button (up or down arrow, depending on its state) and the map will be normal again.
- When using the minimap plugin after clicking the "Normalize" button, the tabs (World, Current Zone) are invisible. To correct this issue, click the Restore/Minimuze button twice and they will return.
- Disbanding: There is a small X button to leave a group if you hover over your name in the group window.
- Making scroll bars visible for chat: Go to the Window Settings for the chat window and use the "Frame Only" settings.
- Chat entry box not showing up: Change Window Settings to "Frame and Titlebar"
Quote:
I'd suggest playing around with the Window Settings options for any windows you may have problems with. There can be a lot of features hidden/visible just by changing them.
|
- Getting the bottom stat bar to show up: Right-click the black area on the bottom of the screen, go to Window Settings and select "Frame Only". This frame may be difficult to right-click on, but you can!
- Maintained Spells aren't showing up: Try using your mousewheel - this scrolls the window around internally.
- Installation Notes:
Quote:
If you don't already have it, create a file called eq2.ini in your main EverQuest II folder, open it with notepad and copy the lines from the Code box in post #1 (starts with cl_ui_skinname ProfitUI...)
The game uses the eq2.ini to look for a file in the ui directory you specify in it called "eq2ui.xml"
If the directory looks like "C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\UI\ProfitUI\ProfitUI\ProfitUI\eq2ui.xml"
When it should look like this "C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\UI\ProfitUI\eq2ui.xml"
|
- Something not working and you're not sure why? Delete your ProfitUI folder and reinstall with a fresh copy. This can solve a lot of problems for people as extra/old files may conflict with newer ones, providing undesired effects. If that doesn't work, check your eq2.ini file and make sure it points to your UI folder correctly. Be sure to check out the folder install image if you're confused about the whole process.
- Reducing the size of the group member window: There are files in the ProfitUI directory ( smaller.eq2ui_mainhud_groupmembers.xml).
Simply delete the existing file for the one you want to change and remove the extra verbage in the file name.
(ex: Rename
smaller.eq2ui_mainhud_groupmembers.xml to eq2ui_mainhud_groupmembers.xml)

you're getting it again, and you'll always get it once I update and Dolby still needs to validate it.

lol yeah, if I had access to the first post I wouldn't have needed to create a new download location in the first place, would I?

Broker Window not working
Hello,
Great UI.
I am having a problem with the broker windown not working and having to /loadui default to access the broker. I then have to log all the way out and back in to get the Profit UI to show back up again as choosing the profitui in the /loadui option boots me back to desktop.
Also I had eq2maps installed prior to adding this UI on 9/10/06 and those are missing. I will keep fishing through and find the maps to load with UI no probllem but I thought since I'm posting I might bring it up anyway.
Thanks again for this great UI.

EQ2maps is not included in ProfitUI, you'll need to install it separately. And your Market window trouble is likely caused by downloading an outdated version from this thread. Therefore:
