EQLSUI.xml is in /uifiles/default

From what I see, it doesn't look like this is related to the patcher or the latest patch set (v31), I don't see an entry for EQSLUI.xml in either (although I could probably add a fix for this regardless to copy over the needed file automatically).

this morning was the first time i tried it

Hi everyone,

For my own need, I wrote a simple damage parser (bash script ready for use by you *NIX users) and added to the github repo for this at:

https://github.com/ahungry/p99-patch...mage-parser.sh

The reports it generates look like:

I'm thinking of adding this parser to the launcher for both detailed reports (would be viewable at http://localhost:4444/report/) to display the above, as well as a realtime DPS listing that calculates DPS in real time.

Are there any hooks into an EQ UI file that would allow said file to be updated by the launcher and printed out in the EQ UI in game (in real time) or would the best option here be to simply pop up a small GUI window that prints DPS dealt/taken that the user could overlay with their EQ window manually (maybe via an always on top checkbox)?

I'm not sure where to put this, but I just want to say the new UI on your website looks awful. The background makes it harder to read and frankly, the page doesn't render well on Chrome.

I realize the old UI isn't that attractive but at least it was functional without needless distractions.

I figured some would not like it, which is why there is a link in the top right (right above the auction menu/filters) to toggle back to the old style (and it will persist as long as your cookie does) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Im sorry, I just have to say I almost called your friends company just to tell them how awesome they were, even tho I don't live in texas.

Delivering justice, to lawns. *hammer on grass

that's hilarious.

Has anyone confirmed that this doesn't make EQ play Rickroll everytime you loot a corpse? Like a mage looting Inny or a Warrior looting Sev?

If it did I might consider using it.
