ShowDown for EQ2
Updated for LU25 and fixed
Based on the Addon Originally coded for World of Warcraft by the WowRankings Team
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=95 (wow mod)
Unfortunately, we cannot code this window to function as the WoW addon did, there is no bar indicating who's winning.. the best I could come up with is a side-by-side window containing Player and Target health Info on a compact EverQuest2 Dragon design.
This window Opens and Hides with the Target Window, so it is not visable all the time.
Installation: (updated info, July 28th)
This Stand Alone UI can be integrated into almost any UI.
Stand Alone (no integration into another UI)
1, Unzip all files to the everquestII/UI directory
--- this will create 2 new folders:
---- everquestII/UI/showdown
---- everquestII/UI/showdown/images
2, Open your eq2.ini file, located in the main everquestII directory
--- make sure it looks like THIS:
Quote:
cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname showdown
|
--- Save the eq2.ini file
3, Start EverQuest II - you're done.
Adding to another UI
1,
Copying Files
--- Extract the following files, to the following locations...
Quote:
showdown.xml
-> EverQuest2/UI/(the ui you're adding to)/
showdown.dds
-> EverQuest2/UI/(the ui you're adding to)/images/
Do Not copy any other files to that UI
|
2,
Adding the Showdown window to the UI
--- Open eq2ui_mainhud.xml
--- add this line to the bottom, above </Page>
Quote:
<include>showdown.xml</include>
|
--- save
3,
Forcing the window to show up once in game
--- Open eq2ui_mainhud_player.xml (or target)
--- Find this line at the TOP of the page
Quote:
<Page actiontype="Player" (and continues on..)
|
--- add this to the end of that line..
Quote:
OnShow="show_window=(MainHUD.showdown) show_window=(MainHUD.showdown)"
|
--- save the file
That's it.. step by step
I added ShowDown to someone else's UI as I was typing the instructions, tested it, and it works.
SOME UI'S THAT HAVE AN AUTO UPDATE PROGRAM, MAY SEE THIS MOD ADDED, AND TAKE IT OUT TO FIX IT'S OWN FILES.. I CAN NOT BE RESPONCIBLE FOR THAT.
