Although the previous test-file works, the patch did some more changes. Mainly to the new achievement-elements, that are unused right now. Here is the new one.

I get the message that my xml files are not compatible, if some of you folks that have gotten Lodi to work with the most recent patch could help me out I would appreciate it, I love this UI!

i think the XML error is just from the new stuff being put in for UF release, it should not effect the ui, other then the error message, mine works just fine with the new equianimatios file listed above

I certainly would appreciate it. This I dropped this in here stuff is not cutting it for me. I need a little more help than that. Thanks!

Caldorn A Ghoul Join Date: Jun 2003 Server: the Tribunal Posts: 11	I was able to modify the EQUI_Animations.xml and get it working without any issues. I uploaded the file and posted it in the forum: EQInterface Forums > General Discussion > General UI Talk > Can someone fix Lodi Dodi? Hope this can help. -Caldorn

Lynrem Premium Member Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 15	I'd like to thank everyone that has been working to keep this UI up to data in the absence of Lodi. I also want to be sure to thank Lodi and give him credit for it's creation in the first place. I understand Lodi not wanting to spend time on keeping this up for a game he no longer plays and am glad he is allowing others to keep it up to date for the rest of us. Any chance someone could zip the UI with all the changes ( target buff window, animations etc.) since 3.3.6 and upload the full package to the downloads sections? Thanks to all that have worked so hard on this great UI Lynrem

Caldorn A Ghoul Join Date: Jun 2003 Server: the Tribunal Posts: 11	Unfortunatly i do not use all of the lodi windows. I have switched out a few to tweak mine for my preference. I may take a look at the entire package again and see if i can help with that, however I know Lodi said he would probably release something in a few weeks, (hope i'm not misqouting). -Caldorn

He has invested a great deal of time and effort over the years developing and maintaining the best UI in Everquest and deserves to get something in return. I have donated in the past and will again! A little financial incentive couldn't hurt our cause!

You're kidding right? I would donate if he actually DID something to warrant a donation. The fact is he basically hasn't updated this in a year and the "fans" have updated it for him.

I'm all for donations when work is done, but in the case of the last few updates it hasn't even been a) compatible, or b) fully functional with all of the features offered by default.

So yes, when Lodi decides to do something he'll get a donation, otherwise the only thing he's earned is a "thanks for your work in the past".

Tell you what, you donate the money to me and I'll fix it. Since he hasn't posted in about 8 months it's pretty safe to say he's done.

Please disregard my post last week in the other thread saying I was going to update the UI for the latest round of patches. I changed my mind. It's not worth my time. I've got better things to do than waste my time for this kind of crap. I'm done.

Thanks to everyone in the EQ community for your kind words about my UI over the years. Thanks to the handful of people that donated - in no way did the donations cover the hundreds and hundreds of hours I spent designing/tweaking/updating the UI, but they were appreciated, and gave me motivation to keep making updates to the UI as recent as 9 months ago, even though I stopped playing EQ 5 years ago.

Since the last few patches only required minor updates to EQUI_Animations.xml (that were posted by other people) I figured that was good enough, until major fixes were required. I guess I was wrong.

If someone else decides to continuing updating my UI (under my name or their own) on a more timely basis, I'm fine with that.

Thanks and Farewell.
