Geist - Question About Your UI

I really love your UI and I downloaded the version with the backgrounds. It works great in uncrowded areas. However, when I started raiding with it my frame rate slowed so much that it was virtually unplayable. Once I went back to the default, all was fine. Eventually I was able to go back in and load the default along with just the windown that shows my info and it works fine. But once again if I load all of your UI it gets laggy frame rate.



I have an AMD 1.0 Ghz Athlon, G-Force 3 Ti-200, 512 MB PC 133 SDRAM, so my machine is no slouch. I also have the latest referencxe drivers for my G-Force. Any ideas what the slow down is caused by? And is anyone else experiencing similar problems?



Thanks!

Geist,

I really love your UI. I was just wondering if you could save the Buffs UI one and copy to this thread as thats is the only piece I am missing to complete the UI I want <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

I don't think lag has anything to do specifically with my UI... the way lag is working with the new UI in general is... wierd. One UI shouldn't lag more than any other, nor should the Backgrounds cause more lag... regardless of how they look, they're all 256x256 pixel, 32bit TGAs. A Blank Black background is the same size/lag as something rainbowy.

There's apperently an odd problem with most (all?) custom skins and extended lag.

It's been reported around with many large mods like Quartz's and others.



I'm not sure why and I'm not sure if VI will even try to fix it.

Quartz might lag more because there are extra graphics added in. Quartz has something like 6 custom TGAs on it, while mine (and most others) only incorporate the standard 2.

Giest, I think you've done a great job, and am using your player info, group info, and titleless chat windows (I've combined those with a titleless target window, ans 'Asmyr's Buff Window' to complete what I use.



That said, I'm wondering if it would be possible (and you might be willing/able) to add another bit of info to the bottom line with the ATK and AC ratings. Namely, I'd LOVE to see what my current weight is (ie how many pounds I'm currently holding). That would make your player window perfect for Monks. It's happened to me a couple of times on Raids that someone forgot or doesn't want to turn autosplit off, and I've gone overweight without realizing it for a few MOBs.



I don't know if that's possible, or how much work it might entail, but it would really make my day if you were willing to do it. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

There is a specific thread on one of the message boards that states.. the reason many people are having lag issuses is that there desktop colors are set to 16 and the UI to 32 or vise-versa.

Make sure your using the same color depth on your windows desktop and in eq.

It's suggested that you use 32 on both, in EQ and on Desktop.

I plan to add weight in the PlayerWindow shortly. I'm currently collecting info on bugs and really testing how things are laid out for me. Perhaps making a default set of window coordinates for the mod as well.
