I tried to copy the files for the updayes but it doesn't allow that. so I copird/pasted them into the correct UI files however I am still only getting the default UI to lad. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Ok.. not sure if this will make sense :p I'm rather hopeless when it comes to this UI stuff. Loaded this today and the only thing i have a prob with atm is that i can't see my mana bar in a % form.. only the number.. Is there something i'm missing, or does anyone know where i could steal something from to just get this bar (doesnt have to look pretty or match, just has to show me a % or even just a bar)?

Hrm...sounds like you installed a mod for a melee player window. That has the mana bar removed because...well...melees don't use mana. Just grab the XML file for the player window out of the zip and paste it over your current one and you should get what you're looking for.

Updates to Tablets 2.01 ????
 

When r we likely to see an updated version of Tablets post the update on Wed 12th May ?

I use all the tablets UIs (and unfortunately only tablets).

Any idea of when the next releases are likely to be ready ?

Please read the whole thread :) I posted the two changed files in the second post of this thread. I will be rolling up a bunch of my changes into new .zips today or tomorrow after I finish working on the buff windows again, but you can use those two files to get it up and running just fine.

Caetenne, I've done just that and it still loads default only. Any other suggestions friend ?

PM me the contents of your UIErrors.txt file which can be found in your Everquest folder and I'll figure out what's going wrong.

Thanks Caetenne. Problem was with how I cut and pasted the XML code. I've just saved it and loaded EQ and it works. Thankyou and sorry for the trouble. :o

Looking forward to the next complete release of Tablets.

It's getting close now. Just finished the XML respacing for the buffs, now I just need to apply the changes to the mods, and make some changes to some of the graphics.

EDIT: Update.

Graphics completed, just fixing the mods and creating a 6 song buff window for those who don't care to see 12.

Caetenne,
I added the new update, but now I have lost the mail icon :confused:
I tried downloading the whole UI again... didnt help.

Thanks so much for all you're hard work :nana:

You lost it for now because the mail system is down. They did something odd to the button with this update that I'll have to fix.

It should still be there when the mail system is up, and if you click on where it should be it still works. This one might take a bit of time, since what they've done is really weird. It works as is for now though.

BTW, what's weird is they did some stuff with a red button in the default UI. It's never referenced in the default UI execpt for the declaration of the animation. I'll figure it out, but it might take a bit. The red buttons replace the regular ones when the mail system is down, but how it's done doesn't appear to be referenced in the UI files at all.

EDIT: I made a decent hack for it that will work for now. It will be in the .zip I release later today.

Tablets 2.02 is uploaded, and will be available pending approval. See the first post in the thread for a list of changes.

EDIT: Changes still pending, it's ok though. I was a dumbass today and uploaded two different versions with problems. The one I've upped now is good though.

EDIT 2: Now approved and available for download. Have fun folks :)

Thank you THank you Thank you.... The wife will be HAPPY again... hehehe

Really... Thank you yet again

Thanks for 2.02
 

Just to say a big thankyou to Caetenne for all your good work.

It's what makes Tablets the best.

I love Tablets, and thank you so much for keeping it up to date. I have a request. Is it possible when using right aligned buffs to put the buff icon by the number of the buff? On left aligned the icon is beside the number, but in right aligned the name of the buff is between icon and number. I am attaching a current screenshot.

For some reason it just looks better having the icon and number together. Thanks.

Yeah, that's doable. I'll make something and post it soon, then include that as a mod in future releases.

That would be wonderful. Thank you =)

Do you want the same for the song window as well? I'll end up doing it regardless, but I'll only do what's being requested for now.

I rarely keep song window up in my UI, so there would be no rush in having that the same. Take all the time you need on that

Here's what you're looking for:

Thank you!!
 

I just wanted to say thank you for resurrecting this skin. I am sure there are many out there that are glad that you came along and put your hard work and time into getting this one back to current UI standards.

One thing that makes this one so great is that it is very flexible considering all the options that are available within it and its ability to accept add on's such as different map, bank, bazaar search, and other windows.

This is one of the few that the user can truely customize to their individual taste.

One change that I have done that seems to work well was to use the "big bank" window (I think it was made by Ascetic, but not sure). Makes keeping track of all of that garbage you collect in the game a little easier....

Keep up the excellent work, and thank you again. Your services are VERY appreciated.

Hi
 

Was wondering if ya could fix the compass,ive always have had problems with it, it dont work right.pointing you in direction of ldon zones.and it dont seem to work right for don ethier.also thanks for keeping this upto date love this ui :)

I'll be looking at this sometime this week. Raid schedule is a bit messy right now, but I'll get it done soon I'm sure.

I had the same problem with the Original Tablets UI. Below are my 4 compass files from Tablets that work and direct you to the appropriate LDoN or DoN mission. You should be able to right click, save as and put them in your UI file. You may want to save or back up your current files then drop these in the current Tablets UI and overwrite when prompted and these should work. They are the Tablets theme, this isn't some other goofy compass.

(edit-Also attaching a screenshot for a good visual, I loaded True North to test the direction also and it lined up perfectly)

Thank you for the work you have done,

I have been using this ui for a long while, thank you for keeping up the mods. Right now with the new Vendor system they are working on, this new Version 2.02 is working great with the vendors. All UIs are having issues right now including the Default.

Thank you for everything you have done

First I'd just like to say thanks for keeping tablets up to date, I love this ui and I honestly don't know how I'd play without it.

I have a couple of mod suggestions (unless I'm missing something and it's already possible). First I notice 2.02 has the class icons showing correctly in the class window (yay!), but since I use the modded "Inventory with Stats" version I still don't have the icon correction, so if that could be fixed in the Inventory with stats window that would be awesome.

2nd thing is among the numerous song window mods, I use the right aligned version and noticed that a 6 slots only version has been made available. I was wondering if a "Right Aligned Song Window with only 6 slots" (there is a clear version but I don't use the clear version) could be made available as well.

Thanks in advance if these are possible, either way I will most definitely continue using this great UI.

Oops, I guess I forgot to fix the class anims in this window too. I'll fix that up and post it soon.



Again, an oversight. I actually made this variant of the song window, but forgot to copy it into my saved work files. Oops. I'll get one of these up soon too.

Very nice, but one small problem....
 

I have used this UI for well over a year, and it is by far the best one out there. Thank you for keeping it up to date. I have one small problem, and I have been banging on it here for about 2 hours trying to see a difference. When I load up the standard buff bar, I experience no problems at all. However, when I load up any of the "mod" buff bars, I am unable to click off the top 4 buffs, no matter which I use. Again, the standard works, but I use the "Right Aligned Buff Window with Clear Buttons". Is there anyway you can look into this and post a fix? I hate to bother you with petty stuff, but I just can not figure out what the problem is. Also, if you do find the problem, can you fix it on the "Buff Window with Clear Buttons" as well, as my wife uses that UI. Thanks in advance!

Another small issue I've noticed, the new buff window seems to work fine for most spells but for some strange reason, with the spells "Ether Skin" and "Force Shield" the buff names do not center.

To see an example of this I've provided this screenshot (look at buff #7).

Any ideas on what might be causing that would be cool, aside from that I look forward to the other mods whenever you get around to them =0.

That's just me screwing up the location on the label. Easily fixed, I'll have something up for that soon.

Sorry for not doing much with other requests lately. I went to the Fan Faire, and was unable to work on stuff for a while there.

EDIT: New buff window posted, sorry about that :)
