Forry, did you remove the <TextureInfo Item ="Targetbox.tga"> back out of the Animations file and put it in the Target window?

One of my UI's has a custom animation file. I did a search in my custom UI Animations file and Targetwindow file and couldn't find this line there. The only place I have found this line is in the default Targetwindow file. What exactly should I be doing? I need to update more than one UI and so far I only have the 3d ring on both.

*edit*

Ok, I researched again. It's very odd. I just put in "targetbox" to lessen the search and not one line with that text included in it is in either custom UI. Again, the only place I see that text used at all is in the default TargetWindow files. It would lead me to believe I'm missing a huge portion of code from my custom UI's to get the targetbar coloring function.

Any idea's?

The problem that I'm currently trying to fix is the color that appears in the target window itself...its not showing up on my interface. If I load the default UI, its there, but my personal UI won't show.

My target window wasn't working either (but the target circle does work).

I copied the two files mentioned on the main news page of this website, but that didn't fix my target window. I finally got it working by copying over one more file named "EQUI_TargetWindow.xml"

Not sure if it will help your problem or not. Its working for me now, although for some reason I now have two target windows. Something in my custom UI file must have used some other window for its target window.

Personally I think the color coded target WINDOW is the best item in this patch. Its so much nicer than having to right click everything.

Did you add it as per the info in the Patch Fixes thread for yesterday?

On the WinXP system at 1078x768, when I get very close to some mobs, their entire body seems to be very subtly "flashing" is the best way I can describe it. Textures are set to medium on this sytem, which might explain why it's not noticeable on the 800x600 system. On some mobs, such as the Priest of Discord with a reddish center down the robe outlined in purple, the purple areas of the robe flash and it's very noticeable. But you need to be standing immediately next to the mobs to see this. If you back off even a bit, it stops. I'm still thinking it's coding for AMD chips possibly after noticing this.

Add these 2 lines exactly as is to your eqclient.ini file: UseTNL=1 Show3dTargetIndicator=1 You may not have either line or they might be set to 0 (off). Add them if they're missing. My file had UseTNL set to 0, once I set it to 1, it worked. This fix did not work on my other system with a SiS video chip onboard though.

The other is my main box, 2Ghz AMD processor, 512Meg RAM, Radeon 7500 VE video card. On the second box I get a target circle, but it's got a sharp edge, like a tight circle around myself... and when I turn slowly with myself targetted, I get these wierd flashing things around me. Sony is saying it's ATI related... could well be AMD related, who knows. I'm gonna shut it off, until someone figures it out. It's pretty... but not THAT pretty. I'd rather know if the neat color changing target window background can be used in other windows... for those of us that have the target name on a window that's NOT the target window ( ie: HotBox ) __________________ ( My Interfaces ) ( RETIRED )

dedara A Hill Giant Join Date: Nov 2002 Posts: 32	if you dont get 3d targetring to showup, logout of EQ. lookup texture.txt and open it to see where EQ tries to load the targetindictor files from. copy the 2 targetindicator files from default to that folder and login to EQ again. Sony made a big mistake with this, apperently the files only get loaded at startup of EQ, not when doing a loadskin or switching toons on your account. Neither do 2 files get loaded from default when missing in custom ui, like normal missing files do. In fact there are no reference to them in the animation.xml at all. __________________ As the finishing touch, God created the dutch.

Great idea, but ... the file shows that EQ tries to load the indicator from my custom UI and the files are present, but still no indicator. I will try copying a little back and forth and see if it helps.

RonsterM A Gray Wolf Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 9	Well, I've tried everything! I've copied the files to my custom UI folder. My texture.ini shows no errors. I've ensured that the option is turned ON. I've added the "tnl" statement to my EQCLIENT.INI. Still no 3D Target Window. Bah! Any ideas, gang? Thank you!

Fyste Enhanced Imperial Golem Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 210	Ok, texture.txt was a new one for me, so I went to look what's in there. Got a bunch of: [Wed Nov 05 19:32:44 2003]00005:_t3dLoadBMInfo: unable to load "UIFiles\fyste\TargetIndicator.tga" (not found) But I fixed that, ( copied the files ) so I figure those messages must be old. But my personal favorite was the last message: [Wed Nov 05 19:33:35 2003]00006:_t3dLoadBMInfo: unable to load "" (not found) What the heck do ya suppose THAT is? I know... broke Thanks for the tips!
