11-11-09 Patch - Any updates?
 

I haven't logged in yet, servers are still locked. But soon they will be up,.. and the patch message is out. It seems like quite a bit of UI changes were made,.. and Sony actually said go to your UI sites now and get your updates. "Popular UI's will already have updates".

As I scan through these forums, I don't see many recent posts, much less updated UI's people have been updating from the test code or whatnot.

Is there another site with better , more active UI authors? Or am I missing something here?

Maybe my UI will work regardless.. if it is broken sometimes I can manually code it myself. But usually not when it is a huge change like the half dozen + files today.

Good luck all

Most of the UI authors are probably at work or working on updates. Give them time, servers aren't even unlocked currently.

I'd like to be working on my UI update, but no one has posted here the changes to each file, and I'm not sure I can figure that out myself.

I just started to examine EQUI_Animations.xml for changes and was going to post them in the proper place when I started to notice the changes was pages and pages worth.

I can't post them here because they are just too huge. I would have to make a file and link it.

Right now I'm just going to try to fix mine and go from there. If anyone is interested in the file, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

My point was that the UI changes are on test well before the patch date. The UI's can be fixed before the game is patched. :) They don't wait till the game it patched then start working.

This one did, indeed, totally obliterate the UI. Don't really know where to begin here, and Default I can't stand. Hrmm..

DeltaX UI.. hope someone updates it PLZ
 

I've been using DeltaX since 2005, or so. I sure hope Demencia or whoever gets it updated.
I applaud the efforts of all UI authors,makes eq much more playable for me ;)

Agreed Barter, i have tried many UI's and have found this one to be the most agreeable to use.

Please get a fix asap please.

Well, mine seems to be working fine now, although the real test will be with Underfoot when that comes out.

As always, my entire UI can be found at: http://drop.io/fanrasui

A look at it is here: http://everquest.yourwiki.net/wiki/File:Fanraui.jpg

You can pick and choose which pieces you want to use.

Looks like Quartz_Sod has broken too. I am hoping its author will update soon :) Its one of my favorite ui's. I too would like to thank all those who make customable Ui's it makes my Eq experience way more fun. The default Ui isnt fun to play with :) But then remember the old ui of 1999. hehe :)

Agreed, been using Quartz since 2003, and also not able to stand the default ui. Glad someone took up the reigns to Quartz, just hope it continues.

(Some minor red text errors when you log in due to elements of beta that have yet to go live.)

Wiznut, I need you to update your UI peeeeeeeeeese :)

Wiznut's work was based off Haliken's complete set Old_Default Animations. As mine is. Wiznut has been mia and said he is taking a break for sometime now. ( June?)

I have been patching that Animations file for sometime now but im stumped sorry :( I can't play too.

I tried to do a comparison with winmerge on the Animations to post here just now. (Lastnight vs this morning ) forget it. It is a mess.
I'm not a programmer.

DurtyDelt is updated and working

re
 

Cudya, ya skin looks good, but the link dosent work, at least not for me (.

When I reply to this post .. I see [.. then QUOTE .. then ]... your text.. then [ / and QUOTE ].

change the words QUOTE to CODE. so it will be [CODE...] with no ..... and paste your code then put [/ and CODE] again. I cant do it as it shows: .
Doing this makes the window above so you may fit your paste of code of comparasin you found. Understand:)?

SmileyFAAce :D

working perfectly?
 

Just downloaded this and when I tried to load it, i got default ui and a message tellin me that xml files aren't compatible

I downloaded and am running AYAUF1 and am just trying to get my windows arranged.

(Problem I had was fixed, but only after I logged out and back in, then went and clicked "Texture" in the window options. For some reason, the problem persisted when I did it before logging out. Thank you, Danille for your patience and help.)

Turn off textures

Howdy All

Just an fyi, even if you use default you will get the red text "Your XML files are not compatable..." Seems they forgot to include the changes to the Merchant Window

If you went to test server.. opened up Default.. found animations.
Went to regular EQ server.. opened up Default.. found animations.

Compare with WinMerge ( google it )

You will notice they are not the same. The main file that is breaking UI today is probably Animations. now then, the author has to see the difference .. and GUESS what was put in.. to know what is different to add to there custom animation file to update there upload here for you to download. Not easy.

Lastnights animations file in live EQ default animation compared to this morning live EQ default animation is alot of difference.

To pick the difference in code not only from the difference in test vs live.. then live vs this morning live is alot of work.

With those two problems, it's hard to put out a comparison. IF seen a comparision its placement in the right area of the animation file is necessary .

Test server animations includes so much not needed code for live animations.

I tried to have a UI for test. Even after I did figure out the difference from live vs test ( back then ) to add to the Animations file I had from live to make the UI work on test, keeping the animations updated was rough. Keeping up with the updated ( seemed like weekly breaks with animations) was to much . I gave up.

I suppose a fix for Infiniti Blue or any other 1024x768 compatible skin is too much to hope for?

on that window, right click, window> background> texture - click

It has no effect. :(

(Found out I had to log out and back in for it to work. Thank you.)

I dont know what to tell you. It works fine on all three of my PC's and no one else has had that issue.

Texture is a toggle. with it on, it covers the labels. With texture off, they are not hidden.

send me a screenshot of the problem.

i spent about 2 hours on Haliken's Old Default Animations file with no positive results.

there is a ton of stuff that was added for the Achievement system in there, but I can't make heads or tails of this stuff.

Okay, I sent a screenshot of the specific window. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the screenshot. I am 100% sure that it is the texture option.

1) Hold your cursor over the window in question.
2) right click
3) put cursor over the word "background"
4) 2nd drop down opens
5) Click on the word "texture"

Will be fixed

In that case...

Drakah, update your UI peeeeeeese :)

I see. I have not done this,.. The Everquest designers assume the authors are using test to make changes to be ready for patch days. You saw how they included that context in the very patch notes themselves.

So basically you are saying not only is test not really the same as what is going to be patched, it has alot of useless information that wouldn't apply to live, maybe ever,.. so isn't worth the hassle.

I get it..

I wasn't complaining -- I just have to have my UI to play.

I took bits and pieces of other UI's to get something workable, but it is starting to get to me. Figured I would check back now that is has had some hours to settle.

Looks like 2-3 people have working sets.. I will check those out and see if I can't just scrap the one I have.

Big thing though,.. I am using the default (new to me) spellgems and buffs.. OUCH, they look terrible.. or better yet, aren't very defining for the spell itself. The old ones I know exactly what is coming . So I am going to have to figure out how to implant old buffs icons and spell gems/book again.

If any of you have a simple way that works with this patch (maybe it is an item that makes no difference patch or not) -- Please reply with the way to do it.

Meanwhile, thank you authors, and tinkerer's (like me)..

Without this EQ would not be near the game it is for me. Though as it has been dieing slowly.. and will continue to do so for a few more years at least.. the support for the UI's has decreased. But at least some is still there.

Again thanks!
