XML files not compatiable... uierrors
Hello everyone! Here's my dillema. I downloaded only 3 new UI windows..
Player Info
Group
ShortDurationBuff (songs)
I followed the instructions in the FAQ to install it, and all 3 work fine. I did not want to edit any other part of the default UI other than those 3 things.
Everytime that I start EQ and first zone in I get the "Your XML files are not compatible with current Everquest files. Certain windows may not perform correctly. Use "/loadskin default 1" to load the Everquest default skin." message.
All the windows physically work fine, I have seen no problems so far. However, my UIErrors.txt fills up with errors each time I play, and I find it tedious to go and empty if every week before it gets too big.
I read the READ ME forum, and read the uierrors.txt very large (10mb - 1gb) slowing EQ [possible solution] post. I could not follow it in relation to my specific problem though.
So here is my UIErrors.txt output right after I zone in for the first time, each time I play EQ. (attached file).
My goal is to not have Everquest write to the UIErrors.txt file, and for my setup to act like a normal skin, even though I just want 3 windows changed, and not an entire UI. If there's a way to trick everquest, or maybe I need to just add lines to some file, or edit a config or something. What ever poses as a solution I am up for.
I appreciate any help you can give me, as I am completely devoid of fixing this technicalities myself. Thank you so very much.

These are your actual errors:

All the rest of them are the normal warning messages that we expect (and want) to see in your UIError.txt log file.
For the errors listed above, you need to see if the author released an updated version of the group window. If not, you can either:
a) find a new group window you like, or
b) update it yourself using the information found here and here.

will updating the group file that has those above posted errors stop EQ from writing in the UIErrors.txt...
Are there any ways to have it not write in the UIErrors.txt at all?
If that's possible, that's ultimatly my goal. I just dont want to have to clean the file every time it gets too big from the warnings being written to it everysingle time.
thank you

It doesn't add to the file every time you load a UI.. It erases it and rewrites the file everytime you load a UI.. The file shouldn't be that big.. Maybe 10-40KB.. If it ever does get really, really, big than you have some issues with your UI..
Hope that helps

trying to use this group window but get the .xml files not compatible thing. Looked in my UIerrors file and found this line
[Tue Nov 11 00:59:03 2003] Error: Could not find child A_TargetBoxStaticAnim in window TargetWindow
I really enjoy this window as it matches the other 3 or 4 pieces I downloaded. Thanks for any help.

the error message no longer shows, but still get "not compatible with current EQUI" or whatever. I htink the problem is in the EQUI_GroupWindow file. I keep trying to load it in, but no dice.
Any other suggestions ?

stupid ... I didn't check the UIErrorsfile.txt right after loading in EQUI_GroupWindow ... so the errors found in that .xml file weren't displayed. all fixed now =)
Thanks for all the help.
