Game Update: 25 May 2011

Of immediate interest for our community are the following UI notes:

The Marketplace now has a preview tab so you can instantly preview the items.
Fixed some crash issues when using a custom UI that doesn't have the "MKPW_Subwindows" element in the Marketplace window.
Fixed a bug that was causing certain windows to not properly resize when inside tab windows.
Fixed a bunch of display issues regarding lighting, scaling, and camera angles with the preview window.
Fixed a bug where the item window wasn't properly displaying the skill mod stat for blunt weapons.
Fixed a resizing bug where if a window was resized to smaller than its min size during a single cursor move (or to larger than its max size), then no resizing would be done, rather than it being resized to the min/max size. It will now be resized to the min/max size in that situation.

Changed
EQUI_Animations.xml
EQUI_MarketplaceWnd.xml
EQUI_Templates.xml
As well as:
dragitem95.tga
dragitem96.tga
window_pieces01.tga
window_pieces04.tga

Full patch notes can be read here

Also files updated were:

dragitem95.tga
dragitem96.tga
window_pieces01.tga
window_pieces04.tga

Thanks for catching those Drakah. :) I hadn't had a chance to actually check the files yet today, I had just grabbed the eqnews.txt file to extract the notes (they didn't even have them posted yet when I put them up).

Something seems to have changed with how Anchoring works (or now how it doesn't).

Before the patch, my EQUI_TaskWnd worked perfectly fine with the following code:

Code:

	<Screen item = "TASK_TaskWnd">
		<ScreenID>TASK_TaskWnd</ScreenID>
		<!--<Font/>-->
		<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
		<AutoStretch>true</AutoStretch>
		<LeftAnchorOffset>0</LeftAnchorOffset>
		<TopAnchorOffset>0</TopAnchorOffset>
		<RightAnchorOffset>0</RightAnchorOffset>
		<BottomAnchorOffset>130</BottomAnchorOffset>
		<LeftAnchorToLeft>true</LeftAnchorToLeft>
		<TopAnchorToTop>true</TopAnchorToTop>
		<RightAnchorToLeft>false</RightAnchorToLeft>
		<BottomAnchorToTop>true</BottomAnchorToTop>
		<Style_VScroll>false</Style_VScroll>
		<Style_Transparent>true</Style_Transparent>
		<DrawTemplate>WDT_Inner</DrawTemplate>
		<Style_Titlebar>false</Style_Titlebar>
		<Style_Closebox>false</Style_Closebox>
		<Style_Minimizebox>false</Style_Minimizebox>
		<Style_Border>false</Style_Border>
		<Style_Sizable>false</Style_Sizable>
<!--		<Pieces>TASK_TaskLabel</Pieces>	-->
		<Pieces>TASK_TaskList</Pieces>
		<Pieces>TASK_TaskTimerLabel</Pieces>
		<Pieces>TASK_TaskTimer</Pieces>
	</Screen>

However, after the patch this causes a client crash and nothing listed in the uierrors.txt file.

If I change it to the following, then it works again.

Code:

	<Screen item = "TASK_TaskWnd">
		<ScreenID>TASK_TaskWnd</ScreenID>
		<!--<Font/>-->
		<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
		<Location>
			<X>0</X>
			<Y>0</Y>
		</Location>
		<Size>
			<CX>300</CX>
			<CY>130</CY>
		</Size>
		<Style_VScroll>false</Style_VScroll>
		<Style_Transparent>true</Style_Transparent>
		<DrawTemplate>WDT_Inner</DrawTemplate>
		<Style_Titlebar>false</Style_Titlebar>
		<Style_Closebox>false</Style_Closebox>
		<Style_Minimizebox>false</Style_Minimizebox>
		<Style_Border>false</Style_Border>
		<Style_Sizable>false</Style_Sizable>
<!--		<Pieces>TASK_TaskLabel</Pieces>	-->
		<Pieces>TASK_TaskList</Pieces>
		<Pieces>TASK_TaskTimerLabel</Pieces>
		<Pieces>TASK_TaskTimer</Pieces>
	</Screen>

I have had to change both my EQUI_Inventory.xml and EQUI_TaskWnd.xml files to remove any anchoring before I could get the UI to load without crashing the client. Before the patch they worked fine.
