AOU mod problems

Post by Ranexx » Wed Jul 04, 2012 9:48 pm

Heeey all,

I got some problems with AOUmod i think. I can't play some of my chars because it doesn't open minitoolbar and left window menu and right window menu.
I hear you guys thinking now and say " Use ctrl+1" or something. Well when i click those and doesn't open anything either. This makes some of my chars unplayable. I must say its only on 3 - 4 chars. Some things like health bars and targets NCU window those work allthough. On the rest i do not have any problems.

I hope you guys can help me or maybe its not the AOU mod thats the problem but i don't know.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that you followed the directions included with the readme file? The AOU Mod isn't just decompress and go, you have to enter a command in the game the first time you run it.

If that isn't the problem, you should switch the style that you are using. I ran in to a problem as well with the mini toolbar not showing up when using one of them, but switching to Slim SNI fixed that.

There's also always the problem where you patched the client without doing a clean GUI install which this last patch required.

I don't have to enter the command on every char do I? If so i might go try that.

And i had to install AO again on this new comp soo got a clean GUI from start then played again like regular but didn't liked it and jumped back to AOU mod. But gonna try that change GUI thing ingame.

Will let you know when it works.

Changes GUI's doesn't work either atm. Still can't open anything with Crtl command neither can i open mini toolbar and the wings don't appear either.

I must say that on the other chars that do work that everytime i start playing i have to reset my binding keys again.
Like i use A as attack but when i log off and log one off the broken chars on and then play one off the good ones again then I have still A as attack but also Q again.

Thanks again for the fast replies

You don't have to do the command after the first time.

The key binding issue is something that's been brought up on the official forum. There's also the chance you have the game installed in a spot where it won't save what you've done due to admin read/write settings like the Windows UAC.

If that still isn't the problem your best bet would be to remove the mod folders and make sure you're getting version 1.2.4 and not the 1.2.3 to 1.2.4 patch. And of course, read the directions carefully.

Lastly, move AO out of the program files to ensure that the UAC won't interfere. Or disable the UAC entirely.

Hi 3 of us in Mercury Dragons had same problem. Windguaerd & Rageballs figured out a fix for us and now these new toons have the AOU mod working correctly and all bars and menu's back.We used the shift F9 to note the new toon character id #. We then located the account in the pref folder and the find that character id under account #. You must log out of all clients, delete the preference folder for that new character ONLY and when we relogged back in, it recreates pref file and everything was working right.
