"- the /master will crash the client"


This is true and tested. The fix is to copy the master_level_window.xml from the ui\atlantis\ folder to the ui\custom folder.


"- compass.bmp is not read from the custom folder (probably Mythic's problem)"


I can't fix that one for the life of me (it was giving me issues yesterday as well).


"- the rename window (for chat windows) uses the default UI, not ghost"


Intended. The textures for this window are still in the to-do list to be re-built.


Various centering issues:


I've determined these are due to a bug in the game. It even occurs randomly in the atlantis skin.


Various crashing issues:


Given some of the other bugs, I believe there are some issues in the UI code that are causing crashes with the game.


At the moment there are only a few custom UIs supposedly ready for 1.89b. But sometime between the live patch and the testing pendragon 1.89f, things bugged out! Everything was working normally on pendragon just yesterday. On live it's a completely different story. I can't fix the centering, I can't begin to explain why people are crashing. My theories are there is a UI bug that is mis-handling memory and causing instability when custom UIs add more UI objects and textures than the stock UIs. As such, EA-Mythic probably didn't catch them during testing.

Either the trainer windows or quest window (when I right-clicked my trainer) caused a crash.

Fixed to known crashing issues (friends window and master window):


Version G - 10 - 189

June 27, 2007

ghostui_G_10_189b.zip [File Type: ZIP]


Hopefully this will at least get some people in game with the UI, but there are still a lot of unresolved issues.

Changes


Friends Window Change

Went back to a stock friends window to address crashing issues.


Healer Helper Windows Change

Updated the Healer Helper windows to have a fixed-centered power number to address centering issues.


Master Window Change

Went back to a stock master window to address crashing issues.

No more updates till tomorrow (approximately 24 hours from now). Try G-10, if it doesn't work for you, log or have a beer.


There's too many issues that are on mythic's side of the fence.

Not sure if you know about it yet or not, but I crashed under the following circumstance:


Got the MLxp floating bar on the screen.

Left clicked on the bar itself, and crashed.


Was going to tell you about the power number in the healer's helper, but I saw the fix for it already. So far, I'm liking your UI ok... I like the minimalistic approach, it seems to open up some viewable space for me.

The ML window used to cause a crash if your toon had MLs. The new one shouldn't crash anymore.

kk, I just installed the latest patch, so I'll test it out quick and let you know. MLxp bar fixed, it now opens up the master list. Thank you


The only other issues I've seen so far are with icons, so I'm not sure if it's just the way things are, or if it can be fixed. For instance:

* my 100% rez icon (Remigration from Valhalla) looks like a single target heal, and a couple of the lower rezzes don't have icons at all.

* Both insta heals (Eir's Magnificent Touch, Dispensation from Eir) look the same with the only difference being a very small box(I'm guessing it's the aoe symbol) in the lower right corner of the icon. I was really used to the old, different looking icons for visual recognition. May be hard in the heat of combat to quickly differentiate.

* Lvl 44 AoE amnesia (Wake Oblivious) - Looks like an aoe endo buff.


That's about it, thanks for all your hard work.

I'm crashing on clicking a Merchant. Other than that, everything is pretty smooth.


Edit: Nevermind, it's the quest window. The merchant had a quest for me.
