Raciant Crystal Crash BugFix and Workaround.
Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2017 1:13 am
Hello everyone and well met.
I would like to start by apologizing for the delay in posting this BugFix. After Lillu gave me the green light on this post my internet went out.
So without further ado, here is the workaround and then permanent BugFix for the Crash Issue caused by Reclaiming Radiant Crystals.
Attached are some screenshots that may help guide people in the right direction... Using this method will prevent the crash issue with no further action or editing needed.
*** NOTE: The following method is a permanent BugFix for the issue for anyone using Underfoot Client, Non-Custom, DEFAULT UI. ***
What I did was rewrote some code within the DEFAULT > EQUI_Inventory.xml to remove the client-loading of entire Alt-Currency Tab Title + Alternate-Currency Tab Window and it's Button(s) from within the standard 'Inventory' window. This otherwise leaves the Inventory Window unchanged and clean/tidy as if it was never supposed to be there. I tested this for a bit with no issues that I have seen. By completely removing Alt-Currency window from the UI this in-turn forces one to use the [Reclaim] button on the standard inventory window located near regular Currency.
The only issue I have noticed is the following benign warning message:
Your XML files are not compatible with the current EverQuest files, certain windows may not perform correctly. Use "/loadskin Default 1" to load the EverQuest default skin.
(I however do not recall ever a time on THF that I DID NOT see that error message and therefore have no course nor care to fix it at this moment)
Download the attached 'EQUI_Inventory.xml'. Navigate and copy/paste to your; EverQuestTHF install > uifiles folder > default folder. When prompted, overwrite/replace current file.
(Note: To ensure correct functionality right-click the new file and make sure windows has not 'blocked' the new file as it has 'come from another computer')
(It is best do do this while LOGGED OFF of EverQuest to prevent possible bugs/crashes)
That's it... you're done.
Here are a few screenshots of the before and after to better show what this BugFix does...

If you have a custom/alternate UI with this issue feel free to PM me and I will do what I can to help fix your issue as well.
Hopefully this helps out a few of you!
