Old Default UI Update Help Please
 

Sorry, I think I posted on a old thread. I will start a new one with what I posted on the old one.


I know it is still early from the patch Feb. 9th 2011

A update for either one would work SUPER. If by some chance you did not like the spell buff set up. you can down load a buff patch and use a old style buff icon.

Yes please

to fix it do this:

go into your UI folder.
open equi_animations
go to the very end of the file.
just above the </xml> tag (which should be the very last thing in the file) paste this in and the UIs mentioned above should all work:

<Ui2DAnimation item="A_BlueBtnNormal">
<Frames>
<Texture>RE_buttons.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>239</X>
<Y>140</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>72</CX>
<CY>19</CY>
</Size>
<Hotspot>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Hotspot>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>
<Ui2DAnimation item="A_BlueBtnFlyby">
<Frames>
<Texture>RE_buttons.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>319</X>
<Y>140</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>72</CX>
<CY>19</CY>
</Size>
<Hotspot>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Hotspot>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>
<Ui2DAnimation item="A_BlueBtnPressed">
<Frames>
<Texture>RE_buttons.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>399</X>
<Y>140</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>72</CX>
<CY>19</CY>
</Size>
<Hotspot>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Hotspot>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>
<Ui2DAnimation item="A_BlueBtnDisabled">
<Frames>
<Texture>RE_buttons.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>239</X>
<Y>161</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>72</CX>
<CY>20</CY>
</Size>
<Hotspot>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Hotspot>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

trouble with edit function
 

i see the folder your talking about, and even the code. but it wont let me edit the content.

you need to right-click the equi_animations files and select open with > notepad.
that will let you edit it, if you've never edited a UI .xml file before it opens with a read-only program by default, some stupid IE related thing.

Didn't work for me...

Thanks. That fixed it. :)

hmmm
 

ok did that. but now it wont let me save it. keep getting access denied. GAHHHHHHhhhhhHHHHHHHhhh

lol why oh why did they ever change the UI?

and thanks for the help. love the game, hate the default UI

Sateryn,


I would like to thank you very much for that info. It worked great the first time on both my PC's that each use a differnt OLD DEFAULT UI.


Thank you

to those who said it doesn't work:
it's possible your UI has more mods in it that needs adjusting - the fix i posted above will correct the issue for most default_old based UIs, but it only fixes 1 potential problem introduced with today's patch, and there are others.

basically two files got borked today:
EQUI_Animations and EQUI_Templates.

for those interested and industrious, to fix the problems you can do this:
1. go to your EQ folder, locate UIerrors.txt, and open it.
2. ignore all the "couldn't find blahblah, using default folder instead" stuff.
3. at the end of the text file should be a bunch of XML errors.
90% of these for 90% of you will either end in the text string "was referenced but not found!" or will say something like "could not find.. blahblah"

these are the files in the template and the animation files they added, and are what is breaking your UI.

to fix it you need to look at the names referenced in the error messages in your UIerrors file.
copy and paste the object the error is referencing (for example, BlueBtn_CDT or something that looks kinda like that)
go into the "default" folder in your UIfiles folder.
open the EQUI_Templates and do a search for the file name from the error message in your UIerrors file.
if you find it, copy the section of code surrounding it and paste that into the EQUI_Templates file in your custom folder (assuming you have one).
if you do NOT find it, perform the same steps above in the EQUI_Animations file.
you may have to do this several times, and it's insanely tedious, but it will fix all your errors.

if this code makes you go cross-eyed and you're not wanting to wait on a fix release for your UI, you can check out the updated old_default modded UI i posted today, or PM me with the content of your UIerrors file and i'll reply with where to look... though i warn you that may take a day or two, i'm both incredibly lazy and at work during the daylight hours.

I am using the Drakah UI but unfortunately the fix does not seem to work. I do not see a post with the modded default old you made Tearsin, where can I find it?

thanks

Everyone is so impatient :)
