Every time I reinstall vert2.2 CM my spellbook is always messed up in the same way described in a post somewhere around here...basically the boxes in the background are misaligned with the spells and the red background on harmful spells only shows on the lower half of the left side of the spell gem. Also, the red background on the buff window for harmful spells only shows the lower half of the red part. I tried the fix posted for this above but it didn't work.

Can somebody who isn't using a tking book and whos background is aligned correctly post their spellbook.xml and buffwindow.xml files here?

Open the EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml file
Find the <Gauge item = "Player_HP"> area
it will look like this.
The section in RED will be the area you want to edit.
It will look like this
<R>220</R>
<G>220</G>
<B>0</B>

which are Red Pigment Green Pigment and Blue Pigment

Play around with them to get the color you like.

Ok, the best thing to do is to look at each section of the code, modify it, and load EQ and see the resaults.

Make sure to only edit a copy of your main Vert UI folder that way you alway have a backup.

Make sure to copy the files you modify to a different backup folder so when an update comes, you have a backup of your work to put back in and see if it works.

If your you fails to load, then load up the EQUIerrors.txt file this file explaisn everything that whent wrong loading!
Ignore the warnings such as these.

[Wed Nov 27 11:09:23 2002] Warning: file EQUI_ItemDisplay.xml not found in directory UIFiles\vert3g\. Attempting to use file from Default skin.

As they are only telling you that your Mod folder doesn't contain these files so it's loading them from the default folder. This causes no lag, so there is NO reason to copy them to your mod folder unless you enjoy having problems every time something is patched.

Since the errors file is writen as your UI loads, the errors that caused your UI no to load are always at the bottom.

Hope this helps,

There is a Vert version of Tkings spell book already posted in the Featured Skin Vert/Sokol DL Section.

I don't want to use tking's spellbook, I like the original, compact vert book. It's just the background of the vert book is misaligned and I only see the lower half of the detrimental spell background (ie the big red line with streaks in it).

I'll include a screenshot that makes more sense soon.

Sokol

Yes a screen shot would be nice

I posted the following in the Request forum a couple of days ago, but I probably should have asked in this thread first. Sorry for the double post.

Mriswith911

kk here's a screenshot, cut down in size of course. I moved some spells back to demonstrate. I guess the same image is used for detrimental spells on your buff bar as is used for spells that are harmful in your spellbook. You'll notice the background for the beneficial spell on my buff bar is fine, but you only see half of the red background for the detrimental spell on me. Same goes for the little color border around the spell (notice you only see half of the red outline around Chords?). And of course there's the messed up background. Not sure what is causing this.

Also thought I'd mention, if you're using the latest version of Crystal Meth and you download the compact ActionWindow mod available in the downloads area, you will get a duplication error in your hotbutton window dealing with some HB_1black item. /shrug

Anyway, screenshot has it all.

I figured out what was wrong with the actions window. Just some duplicate stuff that is found in the hotbutton xml file. So if you are having problems with vert if you download the file Sokol-ShortActionv1a.zip, use this one instead.

Yes, these are known issues that come from Vert him self with the version 2.2 and have been a low priority. As for errors witht he hottbutton and the short actions, it looks like your using soem other mods? I have the crystal meth and the short actions and havent had this error pop up, especialy when the short actions window has nothing moded other then the button size so there is nothing that would cause this that I can think of, with default files.

The only mods I'm using is the casting window mod posted in the downloads section, the vertical spell bar in the download's section, and tking's spellbook and hotkey spell icons (which as far as I know are just .tga files). Everything thing else was downloaded from Vert 22 Crystal Meth PoP 4 (or whatever...long name ) onto a brand new HDD. No other outside mods installed.

After last patch my compass for Vert 2.2 have a black censor box over it.

Would be happy if either Sokol or anyone else could post a link so I can download it

Thanks

Sokol

Look in the patch section and fine the vert patch for a quick fix for it.
