Advanced HO window

depechenode · #1 03-17-2005, 12:42 PM

Here is my version of the Heroic Opportunity window.

Basically I took Azoz's "Micro HO window" and changed it to my likings.

Made the icons a bit bigger, on 1600x1200 they were way too Micro.

Added multi color timer bar.

Reduced wasted space.

File is uploaded and awaiting approval.

Credit to Azoz for for his original window I modded.

Credit to anyone else who I might have used bits of their stuff in my window just forgetting what I might have used.

--Known issues:
*NONE*

--Installing:
Just place the .xml in your /mod directory.
Restart EQ2 and have a fun!

Comments and suggestions always welcomed!!

Interesting idea. Looks good to me.

Thanks Drumstix, but Azoz (Micro HO window) was first to do this idea, I just made it a bit bigger for 1600x1200. At that reso, the icons can barely be seen (too small). I also added a few other changes to my liking. Mainly the colored bar.

I like it, but is there anything different that could be done with the arrow icon? With this mod, it's harder to know when a spell must follow another, and when any spell can be cast in any order.

I don't know how much customization can be done, but my ideal progress bar would have lights above each active icon slot, and would change state based on when the skill could be used, has been used, or isn't ready yet because another skill must be used first.

That's... uh... how it works... by default... The circle behind each icon flashes when it needs to be used, is dark when not ready yet, and lit when done.

Nice and inovative ideas.

I read that EQ2 is using only up to 4 icons. Can you remove the 2 extra ones, make everything smaller, remove the bar and put a count down instead? Finally I don't think anyone care about the name of the HO like "Sky Cleave". Could you replace that by some small description about the HO you are about to pull?
