I love this mod for healing, but in battlegrounds it would be of no use for the simple fact that ever character has the _servername after there character name.

This is done so people from different servers, but with the same name are not counted as one person or something like that from the test forums.

Is there anyway to get the server name for healing?

That's great news! I'm absolutely LOVING the raid window mod, especially the cure curse sound notification, it has sped up my reaction times so much and left me free to heal.

The group window I actually deleted and do not use for a couple of reasons. First, as you already know, the icons are way too small. Also in the 6x1 setup I use, where the icons are hidden unless you mouse over, I just spend wayyy too much time hovering and finding the right icon, same with cures but they are a bit easier since they are not hidden.

What I actually ended up doing with my cures and heals is I made a 6x1 hotbar for my cures and another one for my small heal, and put them directly under my 6x1 group window with macros to cancel spellcast, select group member, cast cure/heal, target previous. It works insanely well and you can resize the icons to your hearts content, but the only problem is I ran out of hotbars! It still takes up a lot of space, and I'll wait patiently until you put out your upgrades as I'd rather have your setup.

In any event I am VERY excited about your planned upgrades. SUPER SUPER job and your work is much appreciated.

Prez, that does sound like a problem although I haven't had any other reports of it happening. I do know that the game servers have recently begun throttling "useability" type commands (which the group and raid windows use) to combat server lag caused by certain macro configurations. Depending on exactly what's being done with the commands, this may be contributing to your intermittent troubles. If your code has not changed since you first installed it, I would tend to look outside the interface for the cause.

Spinedoc, the size of the spell icons and other group window components are fixed, although I would really like for them to be resizable similar to the hotbars. That would be a very big project to tackle for a future version. I do have two new display modes for the group window in development now, and I believe one of them will be very similar to the layout you are suggesting. I have another fairly ambitious upgrade on the table, although I may have to hold off on that and settle for a smaller set of improvements including this one. The next version should be available around the release of the Sentinel's Fate expansion.

Thanks to both of you for your comments, and to everyone who has tried out the DarqUI interface pieces.

Awesome mod!! Couple of questions. First, is it possible to change the size of the icons? They are hard to click in the heat of the battle and I'd like to size them up a bit, I don't mind at all if it sizes up the entire group/raid window.

Also I use primarily the horizontal mode with 6 names going from left to right. But I'm not keen on having the quick cast icons on top of the power/health, it takes an extra second to quick cast. Is it possible to put the quick cast spells under the name, maybe over/under the cure icons? Or at least have an option for this.

Thanks.

Something has been occuring more frequently lately that I don't care for. During a group or raid situation, after clicking a quick icon/button on a player to cast a ward, it shows the ward was casted on the player below the one I clicked.

----This does NOT happen EVERY time I click the same button. When I click it again, most times it casts correctly.

It seems to have started coinciding with the current lag situation on Crushbone.....could this have anything to do with it?


When I first installed this (EliteUI which contains it) I never had this issue. I have never changed anything since the first time I configured the buttons either.

Thanks for any help =)!

nealeb

It worked! Thank you for your help and this great mod!

Hi Nealeb,

Tell, Gsay and Rsay are all simple string fields that deliver uninterpreted text into the selected channel. Of these three, Rsay is an exception in that it will automatically add the button target's name at the end of the string, but this is internal and not the result of a %T entry in the utility. The Command field does convert %T into the button target's name, so in your case you can get the right result by clearing the Gsay field and instead putting

gsay Mana Flow on %T

into the Command field for that button. When you write your data in the utility, the line will be converted to:

gsay Mana Flow on Parent.Parent.T.Value

(Don't forget to also put something in the Command Tooltip field like "Group Announce," otherwise you'll get a default generic tooltip for that button.) The complete line in the UI file would look like this:

<Data Name="Spell1" SpellName="Mana Flow" Tell=" " Gsay=" " Rsay=" " BG="X" Cmd="gsay Mana Flow on Parent.Parent.T.Value" CmdTT="Group Announce" />

I am certain there is a problem with my configuration but I wanted to pose this question hoping you can help.
I configured 1 button that activates mana flow and does a /gsay that contains a %T. When i click it, it just says "Mana Flow on Parent.Parent.T.Value" in group chat.

I am also using the Razc UI set.

<Data Name="Spell1" SpellName="Mana Flow" Tell=" " Gsay="Mana Flow on Parent.Parent.T.Value" Rsay=" " BG="X" Cmd=" " CmdTT=" " />

Darqwood

You have it set right, although if your UI settings file is telling the raid window to be a different size, it's going to win out. One of the last things the UI does before it hands control over to you is to orient your windows based on this file. The raid window must obey this final size/position command from the system even if it doesn't match your layout preference.

To make sure the two settings match up, log into your character and select the #6 layout from the options panel, then type /save_uisettings to force a save of your current UI layout including the raid window proportions. Log all the way out and back in once to make sure it sticks. It should behave itself from now on.

Hey Darq, I got to say I love this! I downloaded the new one and everthing is working good now on all the cures. But the raid window would not save in style 6. I edited <Data Name="DefaultLayout" Value="1" /> to make it read <Data Name="DefaultLayout" Value="6" /> like it says in the guide with no luck. Any hints on were my mess up is?

Also that is the only thing not saving. I have the colored background showing fine, And the group window is saving just fine.

Darqwood

Shadewalker, thank you! Glad you're enjoying the windows.

StarManWild, using the button configuration utility you should be able to choose the standard Priest cure set and then add in the macro slot useabilityonplayer %T Cure Spells for the Arcane, Noxious and Elemental cures. This will try to cast both, and only the one that works for the current class will fire off.

On the group window layout, as long as the bank of spells is 5-across I can add another preset layout fairly efficiently. Making them go around the corner like your example would add a good bit more code. Let me see what I can come up with.

I like that mockup a lot Darq, But I would like to ask is there any way the spells could be put under the health bars. My old group window had that but was a pain to change as I leveled up.

It had the health/mana bars, then the cure under that. Followed by the spells under and around to the side of the cures leading up to the side again.

Belive this is it. http://www.eq2interface.com/download...ilerdirge.html

While it is good. It is not good for having more then one class.

Also, while I see you not adding in the cure for potions, could there be a way to add in a cure for two different character classes? My mystic, and paladin both have cure, but can only have one set, unless I missed something in the readme lols.

Shadewalker

Thank you for these mods, some of the best I've ever seen in any game Please keep up the good work, and keep updating for a long time to come

Darqwood

chriswebstar, since the potions are only good for curing self, I've hesitated to put any potion choices under the group cure buttons. On the other hand, my threat window has a mod for self-curing with potions that may be exactly what you are looking for.

Hey, great mod.

The only trouble I'm having with it, is that there are multiple c2cast sets, but only one possible c2cure. I'd love to be able to use "cure" on my cleric alt, while using potions or so on my mage. Is this at all possible?
