8-14-07 patch broke UIs
 
ui files changed or new:

EQUI_TCGWnd
EQUI_TCGStartupWnd
LON
dragitem49
menuicons01
EQUI_Animations
SIDL
EQUI_Templates
EQUI_OptionsWindow
EQUI

Takeed 08-14-2007 07:35 PM

It appears to me that the change messing with the UI is in EQUI_Animations.xml. I deleted this file from my custom UI and it let me load it. Now I'm just waiting for the file change comparison to be able to update my Animations window accordingly. Hope it gets posted soon.

Quiptos 08-14-2007 07:38 PM

Tried that fix for TBS Vert, didn't work just defaulted right back to the Default UI after a few secs.

Takeed 08-14-2007 07:39 PM

Ack, must be more than one thing needed to fix it completely.

Chefson 08-14-2007 07:41 PM

Aye, tried deleting EQUI_Animations from Tablets Blue 3.02 and spit me out to default :(

Wymp 08-14-2007 08:01 PM

This might let you at least play using your UI ... but it won't include the new card game BS. Just should fix the crashing.



-- go to Program Files -> Sony -> Everquest -> uifiles -> default

-- copy the file EQUI_TCGStartupWnd.xml and paste it into your custom UI folder

-- from your custom UI folder, open that file in Notepad or whatever

-- use Find or Search to locate this string .. Filigree

-- you should find 5 Filigree and 1 FiligreeThin throughout the file

-- change each Filigree and the one FiligreeThin to ... Def

-- Example: what you will see on the lines where Find/Search takes you is <DrawTemplate>WDT_Filigree</DrawTemplate> ..... what you want to see is <DrawTemplate>WDT_Def</DrawTemplate>


-- After changing those 6 lines, save the file inside your custom folder (as an xml .. Notepad will try to save it as txt, heh)

-- Reload your UI in-game .....

Well, I never crashed the game, and that "fix" didn't work for Tablets Blue 3.02 :(

Sailenn 08-14-2007 08:13 PM

still not working for me (SARS)
 
I renamed the xml files that were updated and also copied and edited the file as per the above post, I'm still not able to load my SARS UI, loads the default instead

Wymp 08-14-2007 08:16 PM

It fixed Sars for a couple guildmates. Dunno how well it will work for others.

Will depend on how they're set up.


Was just a quickie idea that worked for that. Feel free to wait for your authors to update their own work.

Kulerian203 08-14-2007 08:41 PM

Temp fix for my Infiniti UI, the target window is a little off, showing the con color box from the default there, but a minor setback till the author can fix it =)

Chefson 08-14-2007 08:58 PM

Fixed Infiniti enuf to use it. title bars are WAY small, but otherwise useable. Similar enuf to Tablets I can cope until Tablets gets an update, :)

What'd you do to Infiniti to make it work? none of these suggestions are working.

Zyton 08-14-2007 09:01 PM

Not Alone (SARS)
 
Tried everything here so far and what makes sense for SARS UI. No luck as of yet, crashes to default

Chefson 08-14-2007 09:06 PM

Read Wymp's post, this also fixed Tablets with NO other changes. DO NOT delete or alter any other file other than what Wymp posted, and Infiniti and Tablets will work. :)

Chakarum 08-14-2007 09:10 PM

Even though none of my UIs use custom versions of the modified windows, I could not log in with any of my characters. It seems that some change has corrupted all of my UI_Character_server.ini files. I deleted them, started a character and set up the UI by hand, then copied his ini file for all of my other characters, and now they can all log in.

Strange, especially since nothing they did should have "broke" anything. Just sucks to have to move all my windows back, especially transparent ones and repositioning chat windows...

Sars Working
 
Thank you, this worked

Zan187 08-14-2007 09:21 PM

To Chakarum:::


usually, if your UI crashes....

Open your UI_character_server.ini file

search "webwindow"

Delete all webwindow files....

---UI should load again



Or just look down the list.... there should be long lines that are just like, "webwindow0=http://www.eqplayers.station.sony.com/blahblahblah/charactername&race=race
ect., and then it repeats and messes it up....

Just delete all those, and it fixes ur UI for that problem......

Also, for some custom UI's , pressing "P" (toggle customer service window) will crash it, delete that keybind and that should also help..

Confirmed worked for an almost completely computer illiterate SARS user.
Thank you

Aetemius 08-14-2007 09:42 PM

I couldn't get this fix to work for the old default. :(

So If I change my UI to include these files it will let me use my custom UI?

lawnboy 08-14-2007 11:54 PM

That fix you posted worked for my Sars thank you Jeezida

Dawstan 08-15-2007 12:20 AM

Quartz
 
would anyone by chance be using quartz, or know of a solution to fix it. the ones listed here don't seem to work for it

Havoks 08-15-2007 12:34 AM

I feel your pain here Dawstan, I love quartz, but the updates are few and far between. :(

This fix did NOT work for me, I am using Lodi Dodi's UI.

I also tried it for my SARS and it did not work for it either. I searched my UI_CharacterName file and had no webwindow entries either.

Any other suggestions?

Confirmed 2 times for Infinity_blue ..

Thanks so much Wymp! :)

Qilil 08-15-2007 01:19 AM

Yah, couldn't get this to work with Lodi Dodi either..

JDawgg 08-15-2007 02:12 AM

im a bit of a coder when it comes to UI's and also use Lodi Dodi and cant get it to work either myself if i knew what the code fix was or someone could tell me what to replace or whatever i could fix the coding....i can go in and do all that....i can even go in and find most of it for myself but i just dont know where to start

omega33 08-15-2007 08:01 AM

lodi dodi
 
I found a patchup for the equi_animation posted last night that repaired the problem with lodi. However, i need a copy of it this morning and can't find the thread to download the new xml file ((. Anyone knows, please post.

Just got back from vacation and I hadn't realized that there was even going to be a patch. Once I get myself unburied from all my work stuff, I'll log on, figure out what changes were made, and post a new version of the UI.

Lodi Dodi
