Yay! Actually got it to work with the GForce 5200.
Now the other box with a Herc Kyro 4500 and all the same settings is a no go.

What DID work for me was to copy the 2 TargetIndicator files to my UI and change 2 values in the EQclient.ini.

USETNL=TRUE
and at the VERY bottom of the file (add if needed):
Show3dTargetIndicator=1

This works now.

If ANYONE has gotten a Kyro 4500 to work, please holler :)

And I got a screenshot of it today. The character usually has to be behind me for me to see it ahead of me.

My shrunken horse and I are pushing up against a wall to see beyond and into the sky, that's where the targeting halo appears. That computer is running at 800x600, so yes it's small :p... but it changes color with the target, it's definitely the targeting ring out in space.

When the player behind me was walking closer to me, the target halo moved SW on my screen until it fell off altogether when he was close.

same problem
 

for some odd reason i got the same problem its not in the right place its like way off if anyone has any insight on how to fix please post it!! i thought at first it was just my card but i noticed when i was in kedge the other day that it was off in the distance hehe has been killing me on how to fix it

Have the UseTnl=TRUE
and
Show3dTargetIndicator=1 in eqclient.ini

Could not get the targeting ring to show until I used the 3D Analyze program http://www.tommti-systems.com in Catweazel's http://www.eqgui.com/showthread.php?postid=58651#post58651 below

Also need the Vendor and Device ID's , you can get from the ATI utilities at http://www2.ati.com/drivers/ati-util-may2003.exe

3D Analyze site has a translation to English if you need.

Other settings:
Force SW TnL setting checked (3DA prog)
Application executable - eqgame.exe
Application pre-start - EverQuest.exe

Once you get it working you can save the 3DA settings as a batch file to run in the future.

Targeting ring is now working and it was worth the hassle.

I downloaded and installed 3D Analyze program http://www.tommti-systems.com, it also added 3 different Spyware bots and a Virus. This was on an isolated system with no direct connection to the internet that's used exclusively for EQ.

In the short time I tinkered around with it before all the aditional crap became apparent I didn't get it to work, although I didn't get chance to try everything mentioned here.

2 weeks later it's about time we had a fix or update from SOE. What are you doing to fix this?

My suggestion would be to check on the EverQuest Technical Support Forum for updates to this information.

I checked the Knowlege Base and the advice offered there did not help....Deleting ui_(character_name)_(server_name).ini file. Still using Radeon 9600 pro.

/sigh

I haven't seen anything in the Tech thread though about those people who have the cursor but it's floating off behind the world as shown in a few screenshots in this thread.

Confused as to what I should do...
 

I have an ATI Radeon 7500. It is NOT a Mobility card. I play on a desktop.

I can see the 3D target ring...sorta. I see part of it, the inner part, the outer half of the ring is sliced off.

Has there been any progress toward fixing this particular problem? Because I am not seeing anything here that seems to address this card and/or problem.

i wish the out side of my ring was cut off your so lucky to have this why would you want to change it??

Re: GeForce 5200 FX not working either
 

Dunno what to tell ya bud,
works fine for me and my GeForce 5200 FX... quite nice too :cool:

I'm very confused. Why would it work for one person and not another if they're using the same video card?

I have a GeForce 5200 FX card as well, and am not able to see the ring. I am running under Windows XP and it has 1.5 gigs of RAM. (1.21 Ghz AMD Athlon processor)

... any help on this?

Be sure you have copied the appropriate files to your UI directory and turned the 3d Targeting ring on in Options.

I finally broke down and tried 3D Analyzer with the Radeon 9600. It works great! I'm using a custom ring and everything...works wonders. Thanks for the info on that.

I'm still wanting a regular fix for this tho. I don't like running EQ on a crutch for it to work right. There's this feeling I can't shake that the "fix" is going to be moving the cards that don't show the ring to the non-supported list. /shrug

I really hate it when people state the obvious by suggesting what others have already said before AND THAT I HAVE TRIED.

Every time i see a patch change something, I copy the 2 files in the default UI to my current UI folder. I have just tried using default only. I have tried changing it in the various .ini files to load default on startup. I have also removed my UI_character_server.ini file completely. NOTHING has helped.

I even posted a few pictures of what I see when the zone geometry isn't in the way and I can see the ring outside the world... Many people are experiencing this.

I even went out and got a new video card and RAM to see if that would help. It didn't.

Sony is really pissing me off on this one. They shouldn't have made this go live if it was so riddled with bugs!
