<div></div>Well it was mentioned a while ago that I and the rest of the mystic community should share our UI configs, so let's do that shall we? I'll go first...just pray that my bandwidth holds up. <a target="_blank" href="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h77/eloora/MyUI.jpg"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h77/eloora/MyUI.jpg" border="0" height="600" width="800"></a>Click the image to see the full size.Anyways, My UI mod is <a href="http://www.eq2interface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4277" target="_blank">ProfitUI.</a>  I like to think that I've managed to make everything I need visible without covering too much screen space thanks to running 1600x1200 resolution.At the bottom of the screen is a stat strip which is very handy for keeping tabs on resists during raids. Under the group window I've placed my clickies hotkey strip, super small sized in a convenient location. Combat spam is right of the group window, main chat is at the left. The group window itself has functions like auto assist when you click someone's name, and the status effect icons act as the appropriate cure when clicked, <i>without losing your target even if it is not who you are curing.</i> Above the hotkeys is a smaller player, target, and implied target window for quick referencing. The full sized versions of these windows is at the top of the screen with nice fat bars. Buffs are on the left, maintained showing the buff names (but sadly SOE broke the ability to see the target of the buff and duration remaining). On the right is a nice, rather compact raid window, and two rows of hotkeys that serve to equip all of my main gear plus JBoots and horsey. Upper right is my quest helper of course, and upper left is a small control center for things like the start button, volume and complex shader controls, and night vision.So let's see em guys, post your UI's!<div></div>

I don't have much of a custom UI... But a swear one day Im going to make one that has every health bar in a raid take up practically the entire screen so that I have an easier time of targetting someone in another group to heal/bolster/etc.

Im lame I guess....I just use the default UI for stuff thats always on screen.  Only UI mods I use are EQ2Map, and Fetish Quest Journal and HTML window (so I can see my parses). <div></div>

<P>This is what I use. Most of it is standard. But I like to see the percentage number in my target windows (and my own hp/mana in the personal)</P> <P>I play on a 24" widescreen, so my normal resolution is 1920x1200. I scaled it down to 1280x800.</P> <P> </P> <P><IMG src="http://www.mounzer.dk/images/mysticui.jpg"></P> <P>That feminine looking guy is me, in SOGA.</P>

For me, Profit UI is pretty much the only UI that even LOOKS like an actual UI.  Of course, it works as good as it looks too <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

I've been using Profit UI pretty much since it's inception, and for me that's saying a lot, because I'm usually never satisfied with this or that and always seek a newer, better, different look.  I'm certainly still looking for that perfect EQ1 UI. It did however take me a while to get used to the big target and player windows and their header placement. In fact back when I used fewer hotkey bars, and before nifty target effects icons became a must see,  I had slightly scaled down, titlebar free target windows made and placed them down accross the lower middle of my screen where the smaller 3 bars are now. I tended to not  miss my target's health going down very often that's for sure, but it became too much of a space hog so up they went.Don't be afraid to post shots of your layout, even if it's default it's interesting to see how people <i>interface</i> with the game <span>:smileyhappy:</span>.<div></div>

<DIV>When I clicked the link at the top it took me to Profit's home on EQ2Interface where ThorUI is one of the top rated and Profit is about number 4-5 in ratings and popularity, not counting EQ2Map.  Download instructions state "Please download the attached ZIP file and extract it to your Everquest II directory, overwriting existing files.<STRONG>"</STRONG>  This suggests it overwrites Everquest files and would make it hard to uninstall, but perhaps that is misleading.  Thor by comparison has it's own subdirectory.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The listed ability to click a DoT on a player to cure it sure sounds good, but is this ability only found in Profit?  Is Profit intended especially for Mystics, or Priests, or what.  Can anyone here compare it with the other popular UI's?</DIV>

And not only for my Mystic, but for my Conjuror too. Very slick, slim and alot of information.

If it is not implemented in other UIs, I expect it to become a feature soon. (I wonder if adding /stopcasting would be good for thoses buttons... Instantly stops whatever you are casting to cast the cure... Nice to get thoses Debilitates off your Tank)</P>

You can, by renaming a couple files, change back to the "default" bags and Inventory UI.  The one built into Profit was too small for me as well.<div></div>

Mystiq

Every UI mod has to be installed the same way to the same place (a new folder inside your Everquest IIUI folder). Any files that are "overwritten" are really just named the same as whatever default UI file they are "replacing", but are seperated from the default files completely. The only exception is the eq2.ini file, included with some but not all UI mods, that tells the game to look in your custom UI folder <b>first</b> for your UI files, <b>then</b> for any other file it needs that is not there, it looks in the default folder. Uninstalling a UI is nothing more than deleting, renaming or moving your eq2ui.ini file, at which point the patcher will replace it and the default UI will be loaded.As for comparing Profit to Thor, I wouldn't let the top favorites and most downloaded sections make up your mind about them. It's a good way to see what the most popular mods are, which usually means they provide the most utility and improvement over the default, and are maintained well to be up-to-date with any game changes that occur. What I tend to look at more is the date listed in the interface information page of a particular mod. That is the last date that download was updated. The most recent Profit mod, called "ProfitUI Reborn II" since it is maintained by authors who are not the original creator of the mod, was updated July of this year. The most recent update for the Thor UI mod, which I assume is that auto update file, has a date from September of last year. It doesn't seem like Thor is being maintained very well, or if it is, it has a new name or is being updated via the interface's forum thread, which tends to be cluttered and disorganized.If I were you, I'd take a look at some of the most recently updated complete sets (and take a look at Fetish in the featured section), download a few that you like and try them for yourself. <div></div>

The listed ability to click a DoT on a player to cure it sure sounds good, but is this ability only found in Profit?Nope, Fetish UI has this. Find Fetish at Eq2interface.com, personally I find it superior to everything else out there, its clear, info laden and highly customisable. It's a matter of personal preference.<div></div>

I had no idea those figures were there till you just pointed them out!  They are definately new as of a month or so. I haven't been playing much recently but I always make sure to have the latest builds of Profit if one is released, so I must have just skipped over the release notes that mentioned the regen being added.If you want to get those to show up, first make sure you have the latest Profit releease, then go into the window settings for the player window, and mess with the titlebar settings untill you see the regen values.  Often times with highly customized mods such as Profit, there are a world of possibilities available just by playing with the window settings for a window.Lots of interesting layouts so far, keep 'em coming!  I'm so glad that some of you were impressed enough to give the Profit UI a try. It certainly can take some getting used to, but I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.  Fetish UI is similar in this way, I just couldn't get used to the funky bars and bulky group window. To each his/her own of course <span>:smileyhappy:</span></div>

Yes, it's possible, but you really need to know something about UI's to do it.  There is another thread here somewhere that has a picture of my character with UI up.  Its fairly near the top of the forum.  Anyway, if you look at my UI, you'll notice that it's "mostly" Profit, but for instance my maintained spell window is the EQ2 default.<div></div>

One would think that since the information is being pushed to make it display in a tooltip when you mouse over the icon, you can simply make the information display at all times, but xml has nothing to do with logic sadly. This is one of the first requests several of us made at eqinterface.com after the information was put in game, but nobody was able to make it happen.</div>

<P>I really wish I could get the Persona information status bar (the one that shows run, hp and mana regen), but I haven't been able to find one on eq2interface.com.

I tried it and found out that I never use it. Who uses the mouse to cure? It's simply not fast enough. The best way to cure fast is to have Balm hotkeyed in an easy to reach slot. I use WASD to move and my Balm is on ctrl-1. I can cure anything almost instantly only by stretching my left ring finger and press ctrl with the palm. Works really well.</P>

Well, for the MT I still use my /stopcasting & use cure macro but I like the little icons in the group window because I can hit them w/o switching targets for the others in the group.  That's the feature, I think.

Ancient Balm cures one person, but if two or more people are inflicted with a status effect, one which you don't have the group cure for, clicking them off of your group members via the status icons in the group window in almost instant succession is fast, easy and handy. All without losing your current target, as Vayn pointed out.There are many means to an end, and many methods that work in different ways. None are more adequate or correct than any other.</div>

Banditman

There is also a relationship between how you cast spells and the usefulness of a UI feature.  The click to cure is a great example.For me, click to cure is completely useless.  Why?I don't click.At all.I cast all my spells, cures, target, interact . . . with the keyboard.  I feel that for me, two hands (keyboarding) interacting are faster than one hand clicking.  I suppose being a fast typist might influence that, or perhaps my background in FPS games just has my brain hardwired that way.Anyway, to me, a UI is simply a display of information.  It isn't how I generally interact with the game.  This gives me an entirely different perspective on what might be a useful UI feature and what might be useless.It's all about how you play the game.<div></div>

<div></div>Thanks Mystique, thats what I was afraid of. I went out and searched through eq2interface.com and downloaded several items I thought looked good. This included a maintained spell bar that had the time left on it, the new persona window (shown above), a new pet window, and the maps again since mine were not updating. Mostly small stuff, but some that really makes a difference. Those timers are nice.Maybe they will fix it someday so that we can see that without the tool tip. <a href="../view_profile?user.id=1234" target="_blank"><span></span></a><div></div>

Anyone heard if an interface could be made to overwrite the target window and replace all the debuffs with thier cure icons and not list buffs? I would love to be able to see what i need to cure on the MT when im not in the MT group. Right now I have someone in the MT group calling it out over vent when neccessary, and its a pain in the butt.  I imagine I am alos losing alot of time and power for no gain due to blind curing. <div></div>

Mystiq
08-16-2006, 03:00 AM
Not sure if that can be done or not, but if the ability is already present in some windows that usually means it can be moved to work anywhere. Don't quote me tho, post on eqinterface Request board imo.P.S. I would think the MT group healers should be taking care of curing the vast majority of the time, unless you have some slow movin healers or a funky group config lol.<div></div>

<P>The code under the "cure" buttons in the group windows looks like this:</P> <P>/target_Player3 ; /useability Cure Noxious ; /target_previous</P> <P>Thus pressing the button makes you switch target for a fraction of a second, just enough time to start casting the cure, and then places you back on the target you had before. Makes for very easy curing of group members without having to target each of them individually.</P>

here is what I have done with my UI thanks to some pointers from the board. Its just a reconfiguation of the original with 2 downloads (personal screen and maintained spells. <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/pplayer_gallery.vm?characterId=233809201" target=_blank>http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/pplayer_gallery.vm?characterId=233809201</a> <div></div>

Thanks thats a good idea, I will give it a try. I think I will probably just swap the two rather than putting the hot bars below as I am used to those two hotbars being on top of each other. I tried to match the hotbars up to some extent by putting the group versions of the debuffs directly below the solo versions. I should probably do the same with the wards and heals too. The buff bars also need to be reordered so they are in the order I would normally cast them when ever they need to be recast. Need to get rid of some stuff I only rarely cast. I wish the pause function worked in macros so I could create 1 macro to rebuff all group and self only buffs at once. I would also be interested in maybe replacing the XP bar with one that showed ADV/Tradeskill/AA/Guild all at once neatly without taking up much screen space. I will look around today.

<P>Seems that every time I try to use a complete or even mostly complete UI, I get stuck after every patch not being able to function because the patch changed one of the UI components.  Now you have to exchange it with the default or wait till the UI aurthor can update the UI.</P> <P>How much of a problem is this with the Prophet UI?</P>

I am admittedly a UI guruthough, and little slows me down from keeping most if not all of the UI intact and running even after patches. But even for the novice, Profit just doesn't break very often, and if a patch introduces changes to the UI that impact the mod, those that currently maintain the UI see to the issues as quickly as possible. There is an extensive help thread on the EQ2 Interface forums for this UI, which can be found <a href="http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5861" target="_blank">here</a>. Usually if you have a particular issue with the UI, you can make a quick post about it there and get some help pretty fast.</div>
