The one I junked together from other posts gives me target info, and I have it at the top center of screen with personal info including current time, XP, AAXP, Mana and HP center lower portion of screen right above my chat windows there. This is based on a 1600x1200 res. Very simple but it works for me, though I am still considering this one that Drumstix put out!

That'd really take a lot of checks, basically one for each line. It's doable but sorta extra work.


One thing I wanted to state is unless you have some hotkeys setup for spell sets and such, it's kinda a pain to get spells out and such. So I'm trying to find a simple SpellCastWnd UI, or just use the default like some have said. I'll will continue this more today.

Someone reaquestion teh SIT/FEIGN on the player window, I've already had that in mind, it was just 6am when I started working on this the other day.

Thanx again for the info, next post I should have some more updates.

You have inspired me to mod the hell out of my HUD now Drumstix, I hate you :D

Seriously awesome work though, I'm in the middle of butchering your setup to be displayed along a viewport on the left side of my screen as opposed to having them on top of the scenery. I hate having anything on my screen because you can never find a nice neutral color that doesn't get muted in some zone. Like Miragul's, fuck them and their totally white scenery.

Edit: Oh, and I noticed there's no spot for songs. So like, I'm going to see about getting them in my setup.

Oh, and I just made a Hotkey bank with all my spells in it for swapping them out FYI. Even easier than picking up a minimalist spell window.

Yeah, you're right about the res. I just made it my desktop for fun to see and it fits on 1280x1024 and is too small in 1600x1200. I'll have to play around with it to get it to fit my needs.

Great HuD..allowed me to close most of my UI up. Did notice a couple minor things you may want to change in the code on the first page.

Code: Select all

G2C=3,1115,342,127,127,127,${If]${Group[2].ID},${Group[2].Level} ${Group[2].Class.ShortName},]}
the bracket is backwards right after the ${If Also you have a couple #'s switched later on in the group part

Code: Select all

G5F=3,1243,410,255,255,000,${If[${Group[5].ID},F6,]} 
G5L=3,1100,410,255,255,000,${Group[5].PctHPs} 
like this the "F6" is on the right side of the bar and the HP% is on the left. Other than those 2 minor things this HuD was great right off the first page.
