Problems getting to login screen

[bdkies]

I recently reformatted. Got SoD all installed and downloaded the THF patcher and it keeps giving me an error when I try to click play. It acts like it's trying to load a client of EQ then stops and gives me this error.

Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIerrors.txt.

So I check the file and it gives me this

Error: Could not find child Credits_SoF_Page in window credits

Error: Could not find child Credits_SoF in window credits

Error: Could not find child Credits_SoD_Page in window credits

Error: Could not find child Credits_SoD in window credits

I tried just deleting the UI folder all together and the patcher re-downloaded about 120 files. Still gives me this error.

Anyone have any ideas?

It is now showing me this error.

Couldn't open or read UIFiles\default\EQLSUI.xml

I am guessing this might be a corrupted file? Is there any place to get a copy of it to save me a ton of time?

I'm having this same issue. If anyone could shed some light on this problem I would be very happy!

Which client?

[Lumpa]

I'm using the Underfoot Client.

Updated the patcher to include the EQLS_UI.xml file now for UF. Please let us know if that fixes the issue.

[Lumpa]

It's still not working for me.

my UIErrors.txt file is a little different.

Open your EQLSUI.xml file and compare it too

Code: Select all

<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<!-- Monolithic Parameter File -->
<!-- The composite section must come first and be followed by the schema -->



<XML ID = "EQInterfaceDefinitionLanguage">
    <Composite>
        <Include>SIDL.xml</Include>

Do you even have the EQLSUI.xml in your default directory? We added it to the patcher this morning, so you should be able to obtain it via that method if you don't.

[Lumpa]

I have the file in the everquest/uifiles/default directory.

Here is what it looks like:
