Dechau, yes. The code changes are essentially done and I'm testing the updated window this weekend. There are two more ways to display the group window. Both of them use a more compact GroupMember format similar to the default where the pet bar and cures appear below each member instead of to the side. There is a 1x6 horizontal mode which can include all 6 group members, and a cascading mode which behaves the same as the default group window when stretched. Like the default window, the cascading mode does not include the block for self. A total of four display modes should give everyone something they like.

If there don't appear to be any bugs, this update should be available next week.

Thank you for a very nice mod

You may not be aware, but paladins can spec for curing too - noxious, arcane and elemental (just not trauma). The common spell name is "Cure Spells"

Dechau

More great news

Looking froward to see it Horizontal for sure

Darqwood

Mistrose, thank you for your comments. I wasn't aware of the paladin AA cures but I am now, and I've added them as a preset choice in the updated button utility.

I'm very happy about the Horizontal, thanks a mill for that

Really can't wait to get it all sorted as after installed it
Thanks again

Darqwood

Thanks Dechau, I hope you enjoy using it. My testers seem pretty happy with it. I had a last-minute idea for a code change last night that improves the switching between the new modes. I don’t think anybody downloaded within the first few minutes before I updated the files, but to be on the safe side check the time shown next to the download button at the top of this page, and re-download if you got it before then (11:50 PM EST for me).

Any chance of adding in the ability to have the shaman (Mystic and Defiler) AA ability Ritual cast befor a healing spell?

I tied to have it cast as the main spell, and then use a /useability Heal but it was only casting the heal on me.

Other then that I loved it!

blastz

thank you, this is just awesome !!!!!

ps
decide to use the 4th mode, but why everytime i log out & back, it revert back to mode 1 & changed the position back ? thx

Darqwood

Blastz, open your group window in Notepad and search for the following line:

<Data Name="DefaultLayout" Value="1" />

Replace the 1 with 4 and it should give you mode 4 when you log in. If it's still reverting to mode 1 then I'll have to take another look at it.

Thx Darqwood, work perfectly now. superb

Darqwood

StarManWild, useability is going to cast the spell onto your current target (or onto you if you don't have anyone targeted), but not your button target. Instead, put useabilityonplayer %T healspellname into the command field and see if that works better. You should be able to cast two spells with one click this way. Also remember to leave out the "/" forward slash in the command field.

The %T thing worked good for my problem, and this also fixed something I was trying to look into. Tho I want to ask how can we change the raid window to save like that also?

I looked into it and could not really find anything I am wanting the quick cast buttons to show to the side all the time, and also for it to be a 2 group wide, 2 group tall window. It keeps hiding the quick-cast keys again and making the window 1 group wide and 4 tall.

Thanks again and I am loving this mod!

Darqwood

The raid window doesn't have a simple mode setting like the group window does, although you can set it to default to your preferences by adding a couple of lines. Using Notepad, open the raid window file and search for <Page Name="Init" and add the following two blue lines directly below it, like this:

<Page Name="Init" OnShow="Parent....
Parent.Controls.BankTogRight.Press=true
Parent.Size=646,216

Also, take a look at the last section of the help file that came with your download. It has instructions for setting this up as well as several other defaults that will help you get the most out of both windows.

btw Darqwood, how do i add 4th set for the 4th alt ? and what if you have alts with priest curing & mage curing ?
thx again for the wonderful work

Darqwood

I realize 3 button sets is not optimal for players with several alts, but the way the code works you can't just drop in another set and have it work. I wish you could. Before increasing the number of sets, I think there needs to be a way to save and load your button configurations, either online or on your own computer. The configuration utility in its current form may get awkward if it gets too much bigger.

As far as the cures go, I can look at adding a class detect that will load cures depending on which of your characters logs in, if it doesn't make the code too heavy. For the moment you can load the priest set which should give you the correct cures for all classes except the paladin.
