Ooh, another quick thought... some sort of test if we are in fs mode or not, and maybe the current resolution could be useful. Possibly in conjunction with the newui as well (mentioned in above post). IE $screen(fs) $screen(newUI) $screen(x) $screen(y)

Maybe also a keybind lookup, it, $key("Move_Forward") $key("Jump") whatever returning the first key bound to the action... for those of us who have really wacky keylayouts, or keylayouts that differ from EQ install to EQ install.

Monetarily? Not yet. I might be able to spare some cash next pay cycle, depending on how bonuses work out. /shrug I'm kinda short right now, thats how life works out. *sigh*

Besides that, I've contributed a few patches (nothing major, I can work up patches for pretty much everything I posted asking for, I just don't like to work against out-of-date code because who knows whats changed and what might break). I've also been helping a few others with stuff, not that that counts for much in the grand scheme of things. 'Tis true, patch submissions and board help don't put the food on Plaz's table. Say, does Plaz have a PO box somewhere that we can mail MO's to? /curious

Dunno if Plaz it taking notice of this but if he is then I would like to see a $heading(y,x) that will tell you the heading to the specified loc. Also a $char(buffs,x) that will return the name of the buff in the slot specified by x (0-14)

And since were talking about it just waiting for my paypal code and then Ill send my $20

Just a quick not that I am still alive, and working on adding some of this thread. (A lot of great ideas in here)...

No ETA on a new release though... I really want to make sure the 'zoning=no items' bug is gone for good...

char(buffs) was MY IDEA! I had it written down last week! thief! Just cause i never got around to posting it...

$char(buffname,0-15) $char(buffduration???,0-15) $char(buffclass,0-15) (postitve or negative, i.e. click offable or not) ...

Also,
EVENT Buffed (Buff Slot, Name)
EVENT Buff Fading (Buff Slot, Name)
EVENT Buff Faded (Buff Slot, Name)

$char(exp) of course :) maybe even $target(exp) once ZEMs and the new XP scale are figured out by the seq folks..

I guess ya have psychic power then riz cause i didnt even think about $char(buffs) until i started the request for $heading(y,x). So its not my fault your broadcasting thoughts on my wavelength instead of writing em down. :P

Yay plazmic!! :)

Do you have an estimated ETA on the fix of mouse /click on the NewUI? No pressure at all as you do an AMAZING job!!! I'm just curious if it's like a couple week thing, or a couple months thing :)

Hey, excellent thought, although it might be cleaner as $char(buff/effect,0-15,name|duration|class/type) :)

so far all of the $a(b,c) have only two values, so i didnt want to have to add to the parsing job for plaz...

what about some method to tell us how many items are on a corpse (in the corpse looting screen of course) ... even $a(corpseitemname,0) = "" and type (if its ND or not) .... :) (maybe even :gasp: its class/race types, but thats a bit too much ;p )

riz ya dont need to no how many items are on a corpse, if you just loop round clicking on each slot until you click an empty slot youll have everything. Maybe complicated if you have to scroll down but does any mob drop that much loot?
