Background pictures

[RickF7666]

The eq2ui_mainhud_achievements window has a picture in the background that is specific for each Class. So if you log in with your Paladin you get a different picture than if you log in with a Wizard. Very cool. The command appears to be :

<Image Location="10,10" Name="ClassImage" PackLocation="cfc,cfc" PackLocationProp="0001/0001,0000/0001" ScrollExtent="632,471" Size="632,471" Style="/SpecialElements.ClassBackdrop.data.templar" Visible="false"/>

Unfortunatly, simply cutting a pasting this line into another UI peice doesn't work. I think it would be really nifty to be able to have different pictures or watermarks based on things like class or deity or what ever else you could come up with. I was wondering if someone been able to do this and could they point me in the right direction.

ps. Yes I did try getting rid of the Visible="false". All that did was show the Templar image, not one for the class of my character.

You can find that functionality in ProfitUI's Persona window.

Actually I've been providing class specific functionality with my Broker window for about a year, even before SOE.

Just pipe the DD for player class to a text object in the window, then write an OnShow script to test for each class name and do whatever you want when true.

You can do the same for Artisan class, level, any DD with a predictable value or number range.

Ok so how do you write an onshow script? Still learning.

This is the code I use for the class image on eXtreme's start button, I also use in in the group window for Arch Type images.

When the window is made visible it activates a controller object that runs the following script.

Parent.Paladin.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Paladin)
Parent.Shadowknight.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Shadowknight)
Parent.Berserker.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Berserker)
Parent.Guardian.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Guardian)
Parent.Bruiser.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Bruiser)
Parent.Monk.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Monk)
Parent.Swashbuckler.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Swashbuckler)
Parent.Brigand.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Brigand)
Parent.Dirge.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Dirge)
Parent.Troubador.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Troubador)
Parent.Ranger.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Ranger)
Parent.Assassin.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Assassin)
Parent.Wizard.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Wizard)
Parent.Warlock.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Warlock)
Parent.Illusionist.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Illusionist)
Parent.Coercer.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Coercer)
Parent.Necromancer.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Necromancer)
Parent.Conjuror.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Conjuror)
Parent.Templar.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Templar)
Parent.Inquisitor.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Inquisitor)
Parent.Warden.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Warden)
Parent.Fury.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Fury)
Parent.Mystic.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Mystic)
Parent.Defiler.Visible=(Test ? True : False) Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Defiler)
Activated=False

You can also do

Parent.ClassPic.Style=(Test ? /SpecialElements.ClassBackdrop.data.berserker : '') Test=(Parent.Class.LocalText==Beserker)

With the above code you can use the image style SOE uses.

won't

Parent.Paladin.Visible=Parent.Class.LocalText==Paladin

do the same?
