Loot Decline Stand Alone?

ProfitUI Control Center

New checkbox to auto-decline loot for mentoring. This was requested by a user who saw it on the Fetish UI, so credits for the idea go to Zonx. However, in contrast to Fetish, my solution actually declines the lotto instead of just hiding the loot window, so you don't have to wait for lotto to time out.

I love this idea, however I tend to piecemail my UI due to conflicting likes in many complete UI's out there, and was wondering if your version of the auto decline would be able to be put into a window of its own somehow?

I know how to modify a little bit, but not sure if it would even be possible to remove something like that to a window of its own...still learning alot of the xml...

You would need the files eq2ui_inventory_loot.xml, _ProfitUI_ControlCenter.xml, _ProfitUI_Styles.xml, and eq2ui_custom.xml. You could show the control center via /show_window Custom.ProfitUI_ControlCenter to toggle the setting. If you don't need the toggle you only need eq2ui_inventory_loot.xml where you can hardcode it.

I already got the Styles file, and I can add the loot one isn't a problem, but I was looking at what code from the ControlCenter I would need to keep, as I don't use the audio and video from there (got those settings in Himay's Startbar 2.0) and I use the modifed Bottombar you help Ranot with for VertUI. Basically looking for (or to create myself) a standalone of this feature that can easily be incorporated into almost any UI without the excess in the ControlCenter that others may not need if they aren't already running ProfitUI.

I know alot of people use Profit, but there are also alot that like me mix and match, and I think this would be a very useful mod to add to my collection =)

All you need is some way to toggle the auto decline on or off, in the ProfitUI case that is the checkbox in the ControlCenter, but you can use anything really. Then just point the code in the loot window to where you want to read the value from. For minimal footprint you can even put the checkbox on the loot window itself, but then you cannot turn auto decline off while your group uses lotto looting (leader assgined of FFA looting works, because my modification only applies to lotto looting).

I got a modded down customized ControlCenter, patching to try it out

Edit: odd, my trimmed down file made EQ2 look for a disc on character load, then crash to desktop, removed file and it was fine....rechecking code
Edit 2: Got it figured out, just retooling to have it show in the upper left corner, can PM you the smaller files for official release if you want to release a standalone when I'm done, I'd rather not release a standalone to something you have unless you are cool with it =)

Thanks for asking. Please go ahead and upload it yourself, after all the modification is your work. Just give credit for the original files and I'm cool with it.

PS: There is already a standalone modification to it made by Pooka, but it also has an auto-accept feature.
