Persona Window

kaidia · #1 03-23-2010, 03:06 PM

Currently, there is only one "Spell Reuse" item on the persona window, but it is displaying my "Ability Reuse" which is different. And I there is nothing on my persona window to display "Spell Reuse".

For example, I have two pieces of armor that give me a total of 3% Ability Reuse Speed, and several pieces which give me well over 12% Spell Reuse Speed. However, on the persona window, under Spell Reuse, it shows 3%. According to the SOE forums, these are actually 2 different stats, and displays properly in the default and Fetish UIs.

Is there a fix intended for this, or does anyone know how I could fix this myself (kinda a noob with XML, but a fast learner.)

I modified the window to use Spell_Reuse_Spell_Only data from the default. Since I don't have modified spell reuse I can't tell if proper data is being given but if you want to backup the old window and try this and let me know if it works.

nm loaded my templar which has spell reuse and data shows correct there and of course nothing in ability reuse lol

This does in fact seem to be borked. I have two characters that only display "Spell Reuse" in the persona window..however when you mouse over this stat the tooltip calls it "Ability Reuse". I guess only having one might make sense on my Ranger but it displays the same way on my Warden who has both Spells and Abilities. If these were combined or only meant to display the one that is needed for certain classes I think it would be much more clear to list both stats even if one of them will always be 0% (like the default UI does).

Oh and thanks for keeping this UI going.

Can't combine them as they are two different data elements sent from the game. The updated window above however will display both ability and spell if that character does in fact have modified stats in both areas.

Thanks for the response. I tried the new file but it's still not working. All I show is "Spell Reuse" and when I mouse over that in the persona window it says that it's "Ability Reuse" but has the same value. Shouldn't there be two separate entries? One for spell reuse and one for ability reuse?

the tooltip is determined by the server

Fair enough but it's still only showing "Spell Reuse" on all my characters..even characters that have both Spell and Ability Reuse or just Ability Reuse. I would also think the tooltip (regardless of where it's generated) should match the stat that is displaying in the persona unless I'm misunderstanding something which is very possible.

no idea on the stat, someone else will have to answer that, but what I meant was SOE is determining the tooltip, if you think the tooltip is wrong you need to talk to them (/bug report it or /feedback it)

I don't think the tooltip is wrong..I just think the profit window is wrong. The default UI has 2 stats; spell reuse and ability reuse and it shows them even if one is 0. My profit UI only shows Spell Reuse and it's obviously NOT Spell Reuse since the tooltip shows it as Ability Reuse (and this is on a Ranger who has no spells). On the other hand my Warden who has both Spells and Abilities doesn't have Ability Reuse either..further demonstrating that the Profit Persona window is not displaying all the stats properly.

I don't think I explained the problem very well before..and I'm unsure if this post is making it any more clear. lol.

The window I attached here has both stats and even if one isn't used it does display them both. If its not and you downloaded this file then you probally have 2 installations of EQ2 on your system and aren't updating the proper file

I have attached a screen shot to show that it does indeed display both stats with this window.

Also even if you don't have spells you can have spell reuse modified by group members who do such things. I have verified this by joining groups on my assassin and ranger both and looking at the persona window.

Added a 2nd screen shot after applying an adorn to show that it is tracking stats correctly.

Also there are 2 tooltips if you hover to the text on the field you get this value only reflects and if you hover on the value you will get the info the server sends based on which buffs/items and such you have.

You are right. I dropped it in the default UI folder I think. I put it in the Profit folder and it seems to be working properly now. Thanks for the help. This has been really bugging me lately so it's nice to have it working. Kudos to you sir.

Papabard · #14 05-10-2010, 06:05 PM

No problem. It always drives me nuts when something that should work doesn't or in my case not seeting 2 stats when I know I have both

Well wow, I didn't even know mine was messed up (I do play a caster but I'm not the attentive type). Thanks for fixing what I didn't even know was broken Papa! Kudos mate.
