Default Myxiplx's Interfaces & Pieces

Hey folks,

Just spotted that the site discourages chat in the interface comments, so starting this thread as a common spot to talk about my interfaces.

Feel free to offer any suggestions, criticism or advice (or just let me know how much you love em :-D). All my UI's started as things I built for myself or friends, but got posted here when they worked out better than I thought they would.

For some reason when I download your map it downloads but after being extracted and I try to load it in game...I don't get the map. I end up with the same map I had.

I then went and tried downloading the map that you indicated under your section and giving credit where credit is due:

http://www.eqinterface.com/download...nfo.php?id=4729

and I had no problem with that. Came up in game when I downloaded it no problem.

I did want to try your version of the map...how can I get it to display in EQ?

The most likely explanation is that files are missing or not in the right place.

It's hard to troubleshoot without more details about what you did though. I assume you've created a new folder under uifiles? Do you have all the files from my zip file in there?

You should have:
EQUI_MapViewWnd.xml
border.tga
button_dark.tga
button_dark_flyover.tga
button_light.tga
button_light_flyover.tga
Myxiplx_window_pieces.tga

If all that seems ok, find your UIerrors.txt file (in your everquest folder) and attach it here.

Just thought of something else. My zip file has spaces in the name. If you're just extracting the zip into a folder with the same name that will cause problems - I've found EQ doesn't like spaces, and it probably doesn't like apostrophies either. Spaces display ok when you type /loadskin, but it can load the wrong files.

If that's what happened, try renaming the folder to something like myxiplx_tiny_map.

Default Wide screen 1280 x 1024

Myx, love your UI but I have two requests. First I would like to be able to have Hot Bar 4 as the vertical bar. Second I would like more than anything to have a Small Bank Window like your Big Bank Window for those of us playing on the Combine.

Thank you for a great UI.

Do you mean you want another vertical hotbar, or just that you want the buttons on hotbar 4 on the vertical bar?

Adding another vertical bar can be done, but will just take some time. If it's just swopping buttons around, did you know you can load & save hotkey sets and move the whole lot at once?

I don't know what's different about the combine server so the bank thing will be difficult for me to fix. Can you have a look at the individual bank mods on the site to see if any are suitable. The bank window is completely independant of everything else and originally came from this site so downloading an alternative should be a piece of cake

If you can't find any big banks that work on that server, let me know and attach your UIerrors.txt file and I'll see if I can get it working for you.

Default Map

Hey Myx, downloaded your map and works great ..didnt suit my taste though...I didnt need the bags so just deleted all that out ...secondly my eyes to old and tired for such a small map.. so just made it 2 panels tall and all is good ... have made it a staple in all my ui's now. toggle background is a MUST for seeing maps..Great Work.

Default love the map idea

Myx, I love the background changing idea (SOE devs, if you're reading this.....make it happen!!!!!), but would love to see a normal-sized version! Any plans to do that?

Oh wow, so much attention /bask

Thong: Yes, I do have plans but I'm lazy and busy with a new UI so it's going to take a while. In the meantime, Serianna created a bigger version for the Egras UI, I haven't tested it but if it works as a standalone mod you might want to try that:
http://www.eqinterface.com/download....php?s=&id=5327

If that doesn't work, let me know so I can get working on a larger version, or possibly ask Halelen nicely

Btw Halelen, I'm changing the default colours in the map for my next release. I'm finding that dark background colour actually works for nearly every map, so I'm making that the default instead of the light colour. You might want to do that in yours, it's just a case of swopping the graphics over.

Vardian. So you just want hotbar 2 as the vertical one instead of hotbar 4? Is there any reason you can't just save the settings from hotbar 2 and apply them to hotbar 4, it should only takes seconds to transfer everything if you use the Save / Load feature. I might be misunderstanding, but I don't see anything that needs coding here?

Thanks for explaining about the bank windows, I didn't know about that at all (and I'd been wondering what BankWnd.xml did lol). I will have a go, but it's going to be some time before I get around to it I'm afraid. It's also going to be difficult to test as I have all the expansions so any changes I do make to the BankWnd file are going to be made blind.

Default Big Bank

As for the bank issue you should be able to take the bigbank.xml and remove the extra tab and 8 slots then resave it as bankwnd.xml and should work fine.

As for seri big map last I checked its not stand alone, so unless she has changed it you will have to wait.

this is my first UI and i really love the layout. thanks for making it.

i just have one small problem and i'm sort of a ui newb so i dont know what to do if its something i can fix myself...

i play in windowed mode and drag my eq window up so i can barely see the blue bar at the top. this way i can have my windows start bar at the bottom and not miss (barely) any of the eq window. however, using your UI in this manner, the eq start bar (which i dont want to get rid of) covers up alot of the bottom of your UI.

is there a way to slightly resize the UI or like move everything up from the bottom a little bit so that i dont have this problem?

i hope this isn't too confusing.

Default New UI

Hey Myx, I just downloaded your UI today cause I thought it looked awesome. After applying it in game I saw that a few of the windows weren't open all the way ( Hott/Target window only gave me target, buff window only had the names of the buffs no icons and couldn't click them off etc... ) So then I reload default and even though it did come back, my spell bar is cutoff halfway through 8th spell, 9th doesn't show at all, and a couple other windows are jacked up as well.

Any clue as to why this happened or know of a way to fix it?? ... Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's extremely hard to play at all the way it is. Thx in advance

Heya,

It sounds like you're hitting the layout bugs that SoE are trying to fix at the moment. As well as the UI, did you download the hotfix patch and follow the instructions there?

EQ is a bit bugged at the moment with regards to window sizes, and needs a few tweaks to get it right. The patch file should sort it out for now, and SoE are expecting to have the bugs fixed later this month.

Let me know if that helps,

Myx

If that's happening they're not loading at all. Where did you install them to?

You need to create a new folder under uifiles, and you can't use spaces in the folder name. The full installation process would be:

- Create a folder under uifiles, eg: tiny_hotbuttons. So you have:
c:\program files\sony\everquest\uifiles\tiny_hotbuttons
- Copy the EQUI_HotButtonWmd.xml file you downloaded into there
- Load the game and use /loadskin to load tiny_hotbuttons

If you're still having problems let me know what you did, and if you're getting any errors.
