Locations.txt Questions

Post by driftinsupra » Thu Sep 04, 2003 6:51 pm

Ok this afternoon in an attempt to be able to target a buff slot with the mouse pointer I dove into the locations.txt file and tried to figure evrything out. After looking at stuff and checking out some of the XML files I thought I had it mostly figured out but after attempting to make my own locations addition I found that i still couldnt get it to work. This is what i came up with for a buff slot:

[buff_1]
UILabel=BuffWindow
XMLFile=EQUI_BuffWindow.xml
ScreenID=Buff1

I am not totally positive I came up with that right or not but that was my guess...If anyone can toss some advice on how to go about this correctly then I will be willin to jupt into that locations file and do what I can to add any extras in there.

Try that too...same thing

I talked to Valerian in IRC and he said it might have something to do with the parser...anyone verify that?

ScreenID=Buff0 for the first buff.

Was there a buff there at the time?
