Valkyria

Still unable to get the two SK skins to load. I have been trying both the Shadow.zip and the shadowknight.zip skins.

Added the A_Checkbox to the top of the EQUI_Animations.xml files for both skins and also added the line for the mp3 player.

Was not using the loadskin button but the command /loadskin <folder name> 1.

All this does not seem to work.

Here is the lines from my UIErrors txt:

please read this FAQ article HERE

it will answer your question..

also on the main page at the bottom left corner is a HOW TO.. that has the same answer..

follow either one of them, and you should have no more problems.

Chronwaas

The problem is that you are trying to use the loadskin window which is and has always been broken. In order to load a skin in EQ you have to use the full command

/loadskin <skinname> 1

Where <skinname> is replaced with whatever the directory name is under uifiles where you placed your skin files.

Chronwaas as I posted above, I was not useing the loadskin window but the command line.

Kudane I have read and done everything in the FAQ and How To area. Still no luck.

Any other ideas?

Chronwaas

Ok then, What directory did you put your files for the skin in? Should be under the UIfiles folder. Also what is the command line that you are entering to load the skin?

Valkyria

They are in separate folders in the UIFiles folder, named shadow and shadowknight respectively.

the command line I am using is /loadskin (name) 1 and tried /loadskin (name) true.

Cairenn

Do you have 2 EQ directories?

C:\Program Files\EverQuest\Blah blah blah

and

C:\Program Files\EverQuest Trilogy (or something like that)\Blah blah blah

?

Also, I know you say you didn't use the UI loader from VI, but the \\ in your error message is usually indicative of that, hence the reason folks were suggesting that was your problem.

Delete your uierrors.txt and try it again... those errors are from when you used the loadskin window. We can tell from the \\

So delete that file then do the command line loadskin then post your new errors.

If no new errors come up then more then likely you have two everquest folders (due to SoE's sloppy install script on some expantions).

Kudane

also make sure that you dont have any sub-folders in your mods..

IE:
Wrong!
C:\ProgramFiles\EverQuest\UIFiles\Shadowknight\ Shadowknight\(all the files)

CORRECT!
C:\Program Files\EverQuest\UIFiles\Shadowknight\(all the files)


In your UIFile folder you should see:
Default Shadowknight Shadow

check that..

Valkyria

Ah forgot I was playing with the loadskin window with an alt. Thats why those errors are in there too.

Cairenn:

I have one EQ directory = C:\Program Files\EverQuest\etc etc. Heard enough horror stories before I purchased PoP so made sure I installed it right.

Kudane:

The paths are:
C:\Program Files\EverQuest\UIFiles\Shadow\(all the files)

and

C:\Program Files\EverQuest\UIFiles\Shadowknight\(all the files)

for the two UIs

I will try this again when I get home from work and let you all know what I come up with.

BTW, kudos on the help so far. You guys have been great!

Valkyria

Ok tried everything all over again from the start.

I am using /loadskin command. A-Check is added. Directory is correct.

This is my error log now:

UIErrorLog created at Tue Dec 24 15:33:18 2002
[Tue Dec 24 15:33:18 2002] [Line:5 Source:UIFiles\sk\EQUI_CastingWindow.xml] Schema error - Duplicate item Casting_Gauge
[Tue Dec 24 15:33:18 2002] Error loading skin: loading default skin instead.

Cairenn

Ah ha! Okay, you have a casting gauge in another window as well, right?

Find that window. (Using Player Window as an example, so it would be EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml). Open it with a text editor (Word, WordPerfect, NotePad, etc). Do a Search/Find for

<Gauge item = "Casting_Gauge">

Rename it to something else. (Again, using Player Window as the example, I'd name it PW_CastingGauge {PW for Player Window, *grin*}). Don't forget to also rename it down in the <Pieces> Section: <Pieces>Casting_Gauge</Pieces>

Give it the same name there as you give it above.

That should fix you up. Let us know how it goes.

Valkyria

Fixed it in EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml and trying right now.
