Accessing the "Character Select" Screen

I am interesting in being able to interact with the subject screen via EQ2UIPage. There is a file in the default ui directory, eq2ui_newcharscene2.xml, that looks like it might correspond to it. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get EQUIPage[NCS2,<any other top level page> to work - they all return NULL.

If anyone has done this already and can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Or, (for Amadeus if he reads this) if this is one of those screens that requires its own TLO, is there any chance it could be added?

It would be easier if I knew exactly what you're wanting to do. Then I could let you know if it's already possible and, if not, if the concept/reason is compelling enough to take the time necessary to add the functionality.

The main thing would be to automatically log a toon back in that has landed on the character select screen. Just to be clear, this is the screen that appears if you issue "/quit" in game (but you can get there unexpectedly for other reasons). I wish to be able to a) detect when that screen is up (right now, I am relying on the fact that Zone.Name is "unknown" when that is the case) and b) click the "Play" button to log the toon back in.

Even better would be the ability to actually select a specific character from the list to log in. I have tried using issuing "eq2execute camp <toon>" while on the character select screen, but that causes the client to crash.

I've found that 99% of the time, when a client ends up at the character select screen, if you try to log back in (even manually clicking play), that session will crash. What is crashing? That I have no idea about. It does NOT generate a lavish crash report. So unless you either don't have that issue, or have some other way around it, it would need looking into first.

I have not experienced that issue. If I get to that screen and hit play, my toon logs back in fine and everything in ISXEq2/Ogre land is gtg.

Mine used to fail like that, then it stopped, it works fine now. I can autoclick through that screen without issue.

Custom UI related? It might have failed while I was using Fetish, and started working when I switched to Drums? (or possibly not, I have no idea)

But I have no secret, I tried, and failed to touch any of those buttons with any EQ2UIPages. I've hard coded button locations and mouse coordinates, and Mouse:SetPosition & Mouse:LeftClick my way through.

It's shameful, but it works.

Interesting... I use default UI and always have it crash. Not that it happens all that often.

Heh, yeah, I do that with other screens too - there is no shame in success :)
