Vertical 4 icon HO Window w/ Red ability indicator

taco-man · #1 04-03-2005, 03:41 AM

EDIT: explanation for the poll choices
(1st option)right now each box is slightly different from the one before it and they go from green to red.
(second option)The other possibility is that the whole bar starts out green, as it gets lower what is still showing of the bar becomes yellow, and when it gets really low what is still showing of the bar becomes red
Heres what i have so far. See the download page for the images.

Heroic Oppourtunity Window Features:

Only 4 circles for the steps instead of 6 because the largest HO is only 4 steps so there is no need to have all 6 and waste space.
The Ability icons will go in the correct order (i.e. #2 wont show up at the bottom like it does on most other vertical/horizontal HO windows)
All icons except for the shift coin indicator are full size icons so its easy to tell what they are.
ALWAYS a way to tell if the ability can be used or not yet without having to wait for it to flash, Red outline shows on any abilities that can be used to advance the HO, and will not show on ones that cant be used yet.
Bakground flashes red instead of yellow.
Progress bar gradually fades from Green to yellow to orange to red.
No background/frame/titlebar
Shift coin indicator near the top between the direction indicator and the first ability circle for the HO.

I may make a smaller version if people want it. This should work with all HO's if it doesnt please let me know.

I would vote for horizontal, Taco. Luv the red enhancement idea.
Great work, as usual.

Same size, horizontal.

tomorrow expect to see a horizontal one

and thanks for the compliment. if i decide to get really fancy i may make a way to toggle between horizontal and vertical by switching the titlebar (which wouldnt show at all) on and off.

Definately looking forward to your horizontal version, taco-man. What you've got looks great!

just added a poll about which way the progress bar should look, anyone can vote in it. more detailed description is in the top of the first post.

Attached is a version that switches between vertical/horizontal when you show/hide the titlebar for the window. (that way your setting can be saved even after you log out) I havent finished it yet, i still need to move the coin shift thing over a little bit on the horizontal layout, but other than that everything should look/work right so let me know if it isn't. I mainly posted it here and not in the downloads because i didnt want to update the description and i am not quite done with it but i figured some of you may want it since i had said i would have it done by now.

right click the link and choose save target as to save the file. also if you dont mind vote in the poll so i know which way the progress bars should be.

The health bar actually does have an option to change color more dynamically. Mine has been set that way since i found it.
Can you add a way to flip the verticle one over? i prefer my HO on the left side of the screen, and i'd like the name and count down on the left of the pictures.

great mod though
