Quest window needs to be updated problem

[Stugein]

I just installed Simple UI. Everything looks to be working fine, except the quest journal. When I try to open the quest journal I get a box that says:

----------------------
You are using a UI Mod that is not compatible wuth recent changes to the Quest window.

Please upgrade your UI mod to a compatible version or revert to the default UI.

{OK}
----------------------

In an attempt to rememdy this I closed out EQ2 and added in the Milquetowst Quest Journal, which states it was just updated a few days ago. Restarted EQ2, but still get the same message when trying to open the quest journal.

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but has anyone else run into this and know what the cause is?

Thanks for any info.

Is this line in your eq2ui.xml file?

<include>eq2ui_journals.xml</include>

Note: You can open xml with notepad and just add the line if it's missing.

I have to ask though...
Have you looked into using my UI?

i am having the same problem and the <include>eq2ui_journals.xml</include> line is in the .xml file

The line was there, but I noticed that the xml files eq2ui_journal and eq2ui_journal_active were both missing from the \UI\Simple directory. Only the _jounral_quest one was there. I'll camp out and reload to see if that worked.


As a side question, I have a black window with no content in it, resizable to any dimension...I don't know what it is for. I went into the control options and looked at the key commands for every window and none of them close/open it. A nuisance more than anything else. Any ideas?

i checked the files aswell and all three are there.
journal
journal_active
journal_quest

plz if any1 has a solution post fast

BTW. i saw that on the first page of this site, that the update notes on live update 10 was -

*** Changed Interface Files ***
eq2ui_gamedata.xml
eq2ui_inventory_html.xml
eq2ui_inventory_store.xml
eq2ui_journals_quest.xml
eq2ui_mainhud_guild.xml
eq2ui_mainhud_replydialog.xml
eq2ui_newcharscene.xml
eq2ui_popup_bugreport.xml
eq2ui_popup_feedback.xml
eq2ui_ScrollbarStyles.xml
eq2ui_TextboxStyles.xml
and so on........

do we need an updated file or is there a change we can make in notepad??

You either need an updated file, or you need to delete the journals_quest file.

If you delete the file, won't you be missing every setting the GUI need to function proporly?

any file not in the custom folder the game automaticly uses the default one. so deleteing your quest window in the custom interface folder will make EQ2 use the default one.

alrighty then, ill try deleting the file l8r.
Thx alot all

[Ghozt]

That did it!
deleted the file and now the Quest window works, though not with the Custom GUI but with the standard window.
