[Dolby]

Test Server Compare updated in this thread.

UI Notes:

• Custom UI's that change the quest journal should not longer crash when looking at group members' quests.
• The LFG window has received new functionality to help adventurers pool their resources and face the challenges of Norrath. Click the LFG button on your group window or use the /lfg command to open the LFG window.
• The interface for creating a guild has been improved.
• Custom Options file names are now limited to 50 characters.
• Since the world has seen the addition of multiple cities now, chat channels will now reflect that by using a good and evil naming convention.
• The client will now load the target ring textures from the ui/images folder allowing users to customize target rings

New LFG/LFM window is nice, but I hope that they only forgot to add the corresponding dynamic data

/GameData.Self.LFM

I /feedback'ed that, but since we all know that /feedback doesn't work I'm putting it here in case Zonx wants to ask for it.

Just out of curiosity, where would you use the LFG and LFM dynamic data? Those two things will be a bit more complicated than just on or off and the LFG check box was removed from the persona window.

[gm9]

My player window currently has indicators for AFK, LFG, and LFW status that automatically get toggled by dynamic data. Was going to add one for LFM status now but was missing the data.

Of course, if there is really no other way to set LFG or LFM status now except via that window I could just mod the buttons to switch the indicator. But dynamic data is the cleaner way (actually I would love to have DD for just everything ).

Ah, ok. Just from messing around on the test server a little, /lfg opens up the new LFG window and clicking the group window buttons (the ! and magnifying glass) opens up the LFG or LFM window. Clicking the LFG checkbox in my persona window was a little odd. It checks and pops open the LFG window but the checkbox grays out and becomes disabled, so the dynamic data is sending a disabled flag it seems.

Not sure if you've change the code in you persona checkbox for LFG but my default one has;

OnPress="lfg checked
enable = false"

I have patched test yet(slow connection and a lot of procrastination) but on live the checkbox get reenable via the dynamic data I suppose.

You can look at the compare Dolby posted above. The checkbox was removed from the default persona window.

Ok, yes, the button disables itself then.

Looks like your Dynamic Data just got put in: (from Test Update 5/15/2007)

<DataSource description="Data about the current player" Name="Self">
...
<DynamicData Name="LFM"/>

Yay! So /feedback does work?

Now all I gotta do is finally release it. I keep getting sidetracked but other projects...
