Right now I'm just going to try to fix mine and go from there. If anyone is interested in the file, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

When I reply to this post .. I see [.. then QUOTE .. then ]... your text.. then [ / and QUOTE ].

change the words QUOTE to CODE. so it will be [CODE...] with no ..... and paste your code then put [/ and CODE] again. I cant do it as it shows:

Code:

 this scroll window. doing this will show a scroll window of paste so a long code can be seen

.
Doing this makes the window above so you may fit your paste of code of comparasin you found. Understand

?

(Problem I had was fixed, but only after I logged out and back in, then went and clicked "Texture" in the window options. For some reason, the problem persisted when I did it before logging out. Thank you, Danille for your patience and help.) Last edited by grtdrgn : 11-11-2009 at 05:36 PM.

Turn off textures

Seems they forgot to include the changes to the Merchant Window [Wed Nov 11 12:39:55 2009] Error: Could not find child MW_Recover_Button in window MerchantWnd [Wed Nov 11 12:39:55 2009] Error: Could not find child MW_ItemListRecovery in window MerchantWnd [Wed Nov 11 12:39:55 2009] Error: Could not find child MW_PurchasePage in window MerchantWnd [Wed Nov 11 12:39:55 2009] Error: Could not find child MW_RecoveryPage in window MerchantWnd [Wed Nov 11 12:39:55 2009] Error: Could not find child MW_MerchantSubwindows in window MerchantWnd Balfor

They don't wait till the game it patched then start working.

This one did, indeed, totally obliterate the UI. Don't really know where to begin here, and Default I can't stand. Hrmm..

If you went to test server.. opened up Default.. found animations.
Went to regular EQ server.. opened up Default.. found animations.

Compare with WinMerge ( google it )

You will notice they are not the same. The main file that is breaking UI today is probably Animations. now then, the author has to see the difference .. and GUESS what was put in.. to know what is different to add to there custom animation file to update there upload here for you to download. Not easy.

Lastnights animations file in live EQ default animation compared to this morning live EQ default animation is alot of difference.

To pick the difference in code not only from the difference in test vs live.. then live vs this morning live is alot of work.

With those two problems, it's hard to put out a comparison. IF seen a comparision its placement in the right area of the animation file is necessary .

Test server animations includes so much not needed code for live animations.

I tried to have a UI for test. Even after I did figure out the difference from live vs test ( back then ) to add to the Animations file I had from live to make the UI work on test, keeping the animations updated was rough. Keeping up with the updated ( seemed like weekly breaks with animations) was to much . I gave up.

I dont know what to tell you. It works fine on all three of my PC's and no one else has had that issue.

Texture is a toggle. with it on, it covers the labels. With texture off, they are not hidden.

send me a screenshot of the problem.

Thanks for the screenshot. I am 100% sure that it is the texture option.

1) Hold your cursor over the window in question.
2) right click
3) put cursor over the word "background"
4) 2nd drop down opens
5) Click on the word "texture"

Will be fixed

I have been patching that Animations file for sometime now but im stumped sorry

I can't play too.

I tried to do a comparison with winmerge on the Animations to post here just now. (Lastnight vs this morning ) forget it. It is a mess.
I'm not a programmer.

In that case...

Drakah, update your UI peeeeeeese

So basically you are saying not only is test not really the same as what is going to be patched, it has alot of useless information that wouldn't apply to live, maybe ever,.. so isn't worth the hassle.

I get it..

I wasn't complaining -- I just have to have my UI to play.

I took bits and pieces of other UI's to get something workable, but it is starting to get to me. Figured I would check back now that is has had some hours to settle.

Looks like 2-3 people have working sets.. I will check those out and see if I can't just scrap the one I have.

Big thing though,.. I am using the default (new to me) spellgems and buffs.. OUCH, they look terrible.. or better yet, aren't very defining for the spell itself. The old ones I know exactly what is coming . So I am going to have to figure out how to implant old buffs icons and spell gems/book again.

If any of you have a simple way that works with this patch (maybe it is an item that makes no difference patch or not) -- Please reply with the way to do it.

Meanwhile, thank you authors, and tinkerer's (like me)..

Without this EQ would not be near the game it is for me. Though as it has been dieing slowly.. and will continue to do so for a few more years at least.. the support for the UI's has decreased. But at least some is still there.

Again thanks!
