Mook Command Bar
Something I'm working on...
I can mute and un-mute the game music or all the game sound entirely with one keypress (Thanks Insommy!) or use the sliders to set the volume, bring up the Bank and Market Search windows, and even use that right slider to alter the size of the font in the chat bubbles, which currently doesn't have an in-game slider and ignores what you set it to in XML.
So, any other functions or settings you'd like to have quick access to?

I absolutely love the clean and precise style.
I was trying to think of ways to save the chat bubble font size... but unfortunately we have yet to figure out how to split apart values from a location/size property for a window. Imagine how handy it'd be to save/load the chat bubble setting using the window's OnShow to run the "script" and x position as the saved variable to set font size.
Erm, or maybe it wouldn't help that much even if we could due to the lack of an if statement...
Regardless, I'd suggest adding the character window as a shortcut.
Is this a custom window? And have you done anything to make it auto-show on login?

I've hijacked the abandoned QuickBar window for this. I had hoped I could make it auto-show like the Clock and Character windows, but unfortunately OnHide events only seem to work on login on non-module pages that the game still pushes data to.
Currently using a custom Clock window to show it. Debating whether to keep with that, or add a button to show it on the StartButton or StartMenu. Maybe I should just merge this stuff onto one of those... anyway.
We actually wouldn't need an If() statement if we could split coordinate values. I'd just hijack another unused built-in window (conveniently named Memorized ) to save the location.
I really don't see the need to have it show the Character window. The default window is 90% dead space and/or redundant (everything but the Spell Effects section), so one would want a custom one... and the only one that is available for download (yours, mine needs some tweaking) auto-shows anyway. I guess if you want to have it closeable, though... yeah, I'll add that in.

Then a Gamma slider you shall have.
Character window button and Gamma slider added. Attaching Alpha version.
Special pre-beta notes:
-Uses clock window to show itself and the command bar. This shouldn't cause a problem unless there's actually someone else doing the same thing with the clock window to show their custom window, and that person happens to be you. Or if you just don't want the clock window.
-Should automatically pop up if all files are placed in folder correctly. If it doesn't show at first then use /show_window MainHUD.Quickbar (very case and punctuation sensitive). If you get something that looks like the Hotkey bar then installation was unsuccessful.
-I added a new namespace to eq2ui_mouseovericons.xml for my custom button style. This will overwrite Insomniac's original stat strip, but won't break the locked/unlocked encounter symbols.

Hello
There is two sliders that I would really LOVE.
The first one ist the detail level (to see ressources nodes far way) and the other one is the pixel Shader (just slide this one if you want to have very high performance)
Is it doable ? do we have to put also an apply button ?

Okay, I've got o_max_farplane for the rendering clip plane (that is what you meant, right?), but I can't find the game setting for Pixel Shader... I know it's somewhere in The List, but I can't figure out which one.

A small question as I do not really understand the modification you made to the clock.window
In your code we have two times the show_window MainHUD.Quickbar
Quote:
- <Page allowcloseontop="false" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="807,120" Name="Clock" OnHide="visible=true show_window=(MainHUD.Quickbar) show_window=(MainHUD.Quickbar)" PackLocation="right,top" PackLocationProp="-217/0001,0120/0001"
|
Do we should normally have one fot MAinHUD.Clock and one For MainHUD.Quickbar ?
Because I want to use the Ammo Windows from sunthas, can I add it after ?
so it should look likes the following ?
Quote:
- <Page allowcloseontop="false" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="807,120" Name="Clock" OnHide="visible=true show_window=(MainHUD.Clock) show_window=(MainHUD.Quickbar) show_window=(MainHUD.Inventory)" PackLocation="right,top" PackLocationProp="-217/0001,0120/0001"
|
or like this:
Quote:
- <Page allowcloseontop="false" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="807,120" Name="Clock" OnHide="visible=true show_window=(MainHUD.Quickbar) show_window=(MainHUD.Quickbar)" "visible=true show_window=(MainHUD.Inventory) show_window=(MainHUD.Inventory) " " PackLocation="right,top" PackLocationProp="-217/0001,0120/0001"

Do you think that this one can be used for the pixel shaders ?
r_light_bump_max_distance

Like this:
Code:
<Page allowcloseontop="false" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="807,120" Name="Clock" OnHide="visible=true show_window=(MainHUD.Quickbar) show_window=(MainHUD.Quickbar) show_window=(MainHUD.Inventory) show_window=(MainHUD.Inventory)" PackLocation="right,top" PackLocationProp="-217/0001,0120/0001"
The show_window needs to be called twice to make sure it executes properly. Sometimes it sets a property on the calling page instead of executing the command.
No, that's the slider for Max Bumpy Point Distance.

Maybe not the right bar for this, but
But I would really love to see real time in the game. Could you add the time or a time button?

They've recently added DynamicData for both game time and real time on the Test server. I'll be adding that info to the Clock window and releasing it (as well as the rest of my MookUI complete set) when the current test version goes live.
In the meantime you can make a /time macro.

Got time from another interface piece (an exp bar) and it makes more sense to be on that.
I'm having trouble where the bar is not open by default so I have to type in that long, long command to get it to open up. When I type in the command, 2 windows show up and I can't close both. It is like the first is hidden til I type the command.

Wow...!
Don't give up on this thing! It looks great!
Really, I bet lots of other people would love it -- I wouldn't have known it existed unless I had been diving into the "what does your UI look like" thread, and examining everyone's ui. Works in Progress are not known to the casual EQ2UI-goer (like myself)...put this out in the miscellaneous, and I bet you get a lot of downloads! (I will be happily using this in the meantime, however!)

When I get back to working on it, I'll add any features I can that have been requested in this thread at that point.
FYI: I go between phases of not enjoying playing but really enjoying modding, enjoying playing but not modding, enjoying neither, and enjoying both. Right now I'm in the "playing not modding" phase, which is why everything is on hold.

That's intentional, in case you want to mute the sound but not the music.

So can we open more than one custom window in the Clock Window?

Any window that shows itself automatically (or can be made to) can be made to do anything on load.
The Clock window is simply the best candidate because it's the only window that doesn't have a mod for it at the time, other than to show itself.

Take two on asking my question, I'll try english this time since I often don't post complete thoughts
My custom window mod is an Ammo Window. Yours is this slider bar window. Can we add both of them to the Clock Window so all 3 window automatically load on startup?
