It looks like SoE have fixed the target window problem today:

"- Fixed issue with not selecting the correct target when clicking on the group gauges."

Hi Himdevil,

After looking into it, I can't find any problems with the code, and somebody else just reported an identical problem for another piece. It looks like a bug SoE have introduced with the latest patch.

They're usually pretty good at this kind of fix, so if you just bear with it, you should find it will be fixed relatively soon.

Yeah, somebody pointed that out to me yesterday, I'll be getting it fixed as soon as I have a bit of time to do some more UI work.

I won't say too much about the group window, but watch this space. I have quite a few ideas that will be working their way into my mods over the coming weeks

G'day.. all of your windows are great. i use alot of them. this Target Window is wonderful.. there is one minor glitch to this though.... to click on the player that is next in line, you have to click on the person AFTER the person you want.. example, if you were to click yourself in the target window, you would have to click the person that first in line, in the group.. if you want to last group member, however, you cannot click them. other than that, works perfectly +D i love the color changing modifications that you give to all of your pieces.. you should work, next, on a vertical group window with the Player Stats, and all of the bars with percentages..

keep up the good work, mate +D

It's something I'd love to do, but it's not possible to do as part of the standard inteface. Like many things in the EQ interface, target buffs are hardcoded to the target window, and that limits my options. I can put them in a floating window like this, but although it looks like a separate element it isn't - there's no way to select or move that window as it's still actually part of the target window.

If you're prepared to edit the code though it is possible to put those buffs elsewhere on the screen. You can either change it's position relative to the target window, or specify an exact co-ordinate for the piece.

To move the window, open the file EQUI_TargetWindow.xml, and search for myx_buff_scroll. You'll find it starts something like this:

<Screen item="myx_buff_scroll">
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>53</X>
<Y>61</Y>
</Location>

RelativePosition dictates whether the position is relative to the top left of the target window, or the top left of the screen. Location is then the co-ordinate to place it.

So you could move this further away from the target window by changing the Y value to 150. Or you could put it somewhere at the top of your screen by changing RelativePosition to false, setting X to around 400 and Y to around 50.

Hope that helps,

Love it. Was wondering what it would take to disengage the buff indicator bar from the actual target window so it could be placed somewhere else on the screen?

myxiplx

Yup, I'll be getting started on the updates this week. Bear with me though, I don't play Everquest any more so I'm a bit rusty with my UI coding

Would love to have this updated, best target window IMHO

i like this window works great for my melee, but with the ui i am using with my cleric i lose my mana bar when i load this window

Yes it's possible, but please don't ask questions here - it's only by pure luck I spotted your comments. Ask any questions in this thread: http://www.eqinterface.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=18945

Running multiple mods is usually just a case of copying all the relevant files into one folder, but from time to time you do get clashes. If you give me a bit more detail about what mods you're trying to run, and what you've tried so far I'll do my best to help.

New to the forums here. Is there anyway to run multiple mods?

Finding myself only able to ru none at a time. Is there a way to over ride something so I can use more then 1 at a time?

Ahnubis, send me an e-mail with that file and a screenshot of how it looks I should be able to make the target window look the same.

Mail me on myxiplx- usual bit here -hotmail.com.

Gave it a try, but didn't play well with the other pieces. The chat window piece that I pulled out of a different UI doesn't have borders and the name of the window floats there uptop by itself, wish I'd written down the name of where pulled it from. Very handy window though for those of us that use the mouse alot.

Ahnubis, can I try being lazy with this as there's only one line to change

If you edit your EQUI_TargetWindow.xml file and scroll to the bottom, about a dozen lines up from the end you'll see a line:

Change that line to read:

Save that and reload your UI and it'll get rid of the title area and the text. There might be a bit of blank space at the top, but let me know if that's what you want.
