Error in your GUI XML files
 

I havent played in a while come back and find an Error Code Sp-1 on the character screen.

I thin went to this thread

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...+file+outdated

I replaced the files with the zip someone posted. Now Im getting "Error in your GUI XML files.CHeck uierrors.txt. which reads:-

UIErrorLog created at Tue Sep 15 21:33:14 2015

Can someone help please

Can you check in uifiles > default to make sure you did not accidentally overwrite and delete the default ui files when making changes?

The usual behavior of the client is like so:
> Check what custom UI is being used (via loadskin)
> Check UI files for everything the client needs
> If some files are missing, go into default UI to get the files (ex: looks for EQUI_MerchantWindow.xml in the custom ui folder, if it isn't there, go into default to find the same file.)
> If default UI is missing files, produce error (and possibly shut the game down)

which ui are you using?

I cant find a EQUI_MerchantWindow.xml anywhere.

Im using the default uifiles folder it contains the following:-

classic_pieces01
EQLS_background_01
EQLS_background_02
EQLS_background_03
EQLS_background_04
EQLS_background_05
EQLS_background_06
EQUI_Animations
EQUI_BankWnd
EQUI_CastSpellWnd
EQUI_GemsGameWnd
WQUI_HotButtonWnd
gemicons01
gemicons02
gemicons03
spells01
spells02
spells03
spells04
spells05
spells06
spells07
window_pieces01
window_pieces02

I deleted/replaced the files/folders that came in the zipfile in that thread (link posted)

I appreciate you helping. I'm at a loss.

Okay, it looks like you replaced the entire folder and lost all your default uifiles. You can get a copy of the full UI from here.

Just download, unzip, and place the contents in the default folder. Replace everything. Then, when you apply the new files, try to merge rather than outright replace the folder, or drag and drop the files into the open folder manually so you don't lose the files that don't need updates.

It worked thank you so much!

Hi I'm having the exact same error,
Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIErrors.txt" however I am unable to even locate my UIErrors.txt file to even begin to see what's going wrong.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Same Error But no UIErrorlog.txt
 

Hi, I get this same error, however I don't have an UIErrorlog.txt to even begin to troubleshoot.

Does anyone have any pointers for me?

Thanks!

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but today I got exactly the same error message when trying to log in. First time I've ever seen this error message, been playing the game for 3 years and haven't done any software/hardware changes lately.
