Bottom Bar Update

[Mystara0001]

This is not an official update and I'm sure it does not cover all of the stats as I can only correct the ones I actually see are having an issue. What this does is allow some of the stats (such as Stamina, Resists, Crit Chance) to display their full number instead of the first few digits followed by ...

I have tested this on multiple characters and seen no ill affects thus far.


I am hoping that some of the changes I've made lately will end up making into the updater. Profit UI is my favorite and i would hate to see it fall do far into a state of disrepair that it cannot be recovered.


There are multiple EQ2 players here so if these files do indeed get updated, I will know as they will appear in the updater on the other computers which are still using the current UI pieces.

Well, your last attempt at a ProfitUI was a complete success, and I even recommended it to be added to the official build. With that to go on, I will test this mod and report on the results.

Okay, I can see one change you can make. The bottom bar still shows Crit Mit even though the stat went away last year (if not earlier.) Might as well remove it since it is just wasting space.

I didn't want to remove anything from the current setup because by doing so I would have to also alter the Bottom Bar Config window. Instead, since the player can add or remove stats based off preference, I figured I would just leave it and the player can deselect it in the config window.

Just removing the item isn't too hard, just take it's entry out of the bottom bar config window. It'll leave a blank space in it's place, but it won't break anything. That's why currently there's some blank spaces in the BBC window, those are from the last time I took obsolete items out. You can safely reuse those blank spaces for new stats if they fit with the other stats in the group, avoiding having to reposition large swaths of the config window items.

I understand your position about leaving the obsolete stat on the bottom bar. I just disagree with it. I'm an old cranky test guy and I see it as something that should be fixed. I don't relax my standards because we're all doing this for free. You can ask Silat and tknarr about that. They've worked with me enough. ;-)

On the other hand, I will respect whatever decision you make.

I mention all this because I use ProfitUI every day and I do my best to rigorously test any changes or additions. My play time was very limited over the last three months because of outside commitments, but that is changing back to where I put in a good session every day and have the mental bandwidth to do real testing.

Ok here is the fix, now with even less Crit Mit.

Sorry for the delay. Real life and all.

[Therendil]

Not to worry. I've been horribly sick all week and we've been snowed in. Haven't done much in days.

I'll test the new files and let you know what happens.

Looks like we finally have it. The Crit Mit checkbox is now confirmed gone and the stat did not sneak back on to the botrtom bar on its own.
