I've downloaded the new vert2.4 file, and installed the patch for the three files. Logged on, and got an incompatible .xml file message.

I then deleted my entire original vert ui directory, and then rebuilt it using the new vert2.4 files, and then patched that. I still get the incompatible .xml message.

I checked the errors file, but it tells me nothing. The only thing in the UIErrors.txt file is:

UIErrorLog created at Wed Jun 11 17:18:01 2003

I can find nothing else.

Should I just ignore the warning about the .xml files? If someone can clue me in, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

No do not worry aboyut the warnings, as I explained this about 2 messages up.

Isn't that what I said???

This is an EQ bug not a Vert bug.

Figured that out last night as others were having the same issue. Thanks for reply, hope they repair that soon.

SIGH I am not beign rude, but I've answered this question no fewer then about 50 times! there are SEVERAL mods in the Vert DL section which have a casting bar, and as their description states, the casting gauge IS the spell book button.

Er um 51 times

Now, if i am not mistaken i download the old CastSpellWindow and the old SpellBookv1a and replace it with the two i downloaded. But when i try that it won't work, it just reverts to the default, what am i doing wrong?

When I logged on, I discovered my castspell window was missing the spellbook button at the bottom. I went and installed the patch from June (?) that added that button, but the result completely hosed my hotkey window, so I had to go back and start all over again. Is there any chance you can make the spellbook button standard, or at least put up a separate download for it? It'd really be nice to have that back. Oh, and on a minor note, the window for reading in-game books is still hosed. I'm still having to use that mod the other person posted when this was brought up before. Not a huge issue, but thought a reminder of it might be in order. Thanks! __________________ Adir Hepialus Tunare server It is better to extinguish one candle than to curse the light.

First, do not install any patch to Vert 2.6 it will mess things up.

Second, the cast spell windows that have a casting gauge, the casting gauge IS the spell book icon, and was changed that way due to popular requests

Third That is most likely caused by your having applied an older xml file via your patching...... but I'll look into it.

The only exception is the "spellbook patch" that I posted, this is not in 2.6b but will shortly be in 2.6c its good for all color versions of VERT.. (look in the patch section)

I didn't initially, and only tried it as a test. After it failed miserably, I made another clean install of 2.6 and it worked fine, other than the missing spellbook button and the book window.

I'm not seeing any spellbook icon/button on the cast spell windows at all.

edit - Wasn't seeing a casting guage, either, but perhaps my using the mod listed below is part of the problem. I'll check that, too.

If it'll help, the only files I'm using now are:

1-Vert26b-Cannabis.zip (or Vert26-Cannabis?)
Right Buff.zip
Sokol-CastingGaugev1.zip

I'm at work, right now, so I'll double-check those files when I get home tonight and report back.

Oh, and I'm also using the scroll file that was linked to on page 14 of this thread. The problems mentioned existed prior to that, so I suspect it's not at fault.

Thanks again for your help.

Do you mean vert25_6-11patch_v2.zip? If so, I'm pretty sure that's the one I tried to fix the problem with, but which made things worse. I won't dismiss the possibility that I did something wrong, but I tried three times and each time the hotkey box went bananas.

In any case, I'm glad to hear 2.6c will include this. Thanks again.

Kudane Co-Founder Join Date: Jul 2002 Server: Xegony Posts: 2,145	I have talked to Sokol, he had totally forgotten that we had not included the spellbook patch from June 11th.. There are 3 files in the June 11th patch, 2 of which will be no problem the 3rd is "EQUI_Animations.xml". I am fairly sure he updated this file last night, so trying to use this animation file will screwup your whole UI (or most of it).. Sooo give him a few hours (its 4:15pm PST) and see if he doesnt post 2.6c with the spellbook repatched in. Sorry for the confusion, I did 99% of that patch and I should have gone back and posted 2.6a with it a long time ago. but I have been so swamped with trying to get Solaria ready I totally forgot. Sooo don't beat him up.. he will get it fixed before the end of the day! (ps you could try just putting the two files from the patch (TGA and EQUI_castspelll.xml) in your vert folder and see if the 2.6 animation file works. You do not want to try and use the patch animation file) Last edited by Kudane : 08-27-2003 at 06:23 PM.
