Fancy Action Bar Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.7

by: andy.s [More]

This addon shows both weapon bars and tracks durations of your active skills. Its main goal is to be as lightweight as possible and fine tune each tracked ability to show only most useful effects.

Features

1. Highlighted active skills and current weapon bar.
2. Instant swap animation. No more boring flipping icons.
3. Fine tuned abilities like Teleport Strike (show Minor Vulnerability applied by it), Focused Aim (Minor Fracture), Shadow Image (stop countdown after you port to your shade), etc.
4. Gamepad mode support.
5. High performance, which adds some limitations though (read below).

Missing features

1. This addon doesn't track ultimate duration. I'm still not sure if it's needed, and also showing both ultimates won't look neat due to their special button visuals, especially in gamepad mode.
2. The addon doesn't track your enemies debuffs, so if some abilities are purged or dodged, they will keep ticking on your bar. I'm not planning to change this behavior now, because I want to keep the addon as lightweight as possible.

If you want to move action bar, then I recommend using Azurah. There is no point to add this feature to the addon, because it will obviously conflict with other addons which allow to move UI elements. Note: Azurah re-enables weapon swap icon by default, so you will need to hide it in it's settings (Action Bar tab).

2.7
- Fixed UI error brought by High Isle update.
- Power of the Light shows 6 seconds duration by default now. It can be disabled in the addon settings (which will make it 9 seconds again).

2.6
- Fixed fake Crystal Fragments proc (internal game bug?), which could start and end at the same moment, but the timer kept ticking.
- Ability Bar Timers are re-enabled automatically now. The addon needs this setting to track some abilities since Waking Flame API update.

2.5
- Some fixes for Waking Flame. IMPORTANT: Due to ZOS changes to API once again the addon now requires Ability Bar Timers to be enabled, otherwise the required in-game event doesn't happen and some timers don't work. I did my best to get rid of default timers and stuff, but feel free to report any issues you find.

2.4
- Fixed a variety of skills not tracked properly by ZOS. Note: the addon uses ESO API functions to get abilities' remaining durations once they are cast. If something is not tracked properly, then it's not a bug in FAB, but I can adjust it manually until it's fixed by the game devs.

2.3
- Fixed Ring of Preservation duration.

2.2
- Removed most of the custom settings for skills from config.lua and replaced them with the new API functions, although there are still enough skills which are not tracked properly with the new ability bar timers and need to be handled manually.
- Due to the changes above, all skills granting the same effect are tracked separately now, e.g. taunts, major resolve, evasion, etc.
- Seething Fury countdown now stops after using Molten Whip (which removes this effect from player).

2.1
- Fixed UI error on log in triggered by a causeless in-game weapon swap event before player activation.

2.0
- Timers are back on PTS!
- Expanded addon settings to fine-tune numbers and buttons to your liking (opacity, desaturation, colors, decimal numbers).
- It's now possible to always keep the active bar above the back bar when you swap weapons (the very first option in the addon settings).
- Bug fixes and ability updates.

1.1.3
- Fixed Subterranean Assault duration.
- Added Minor Berserk tracking to Camouflaged Hunter.

1.1.2
- Updated some abilities ids to work with Markarth DLC (sorry, don't have time for more features atm).

1.1.1
- Added Burning Talons DoT timer.

1.1.0
- Added tracking of different stacks, like Grim Focus, Bound Armaments, etc. Note: Stone Giant stacks are only tracked in Harrowstorm, because the skill was changed there.
- Fixed buggy icons when using a special action bar like Werewolf, Frostvault skeever bar, etc.
- Fixed some durations.
- Fixed an empty action bar after /reloadui.
- Switching between Gamepad and Keyboard modes doesn't reload UI anymore (but it's possible that under some circumstances action bars won't be aligned perfectly).

line 86

from
[40211] = true,--{57477}, -- retreating maneuver
to
[40211] = {57477},--{57477}, -- retreating maneuver

Any way you can change some of these ability timers to show the longer timer and not the short one besides me having to edit it all the time? thanks and very helpful addon

the author deliberately set the output of a shorter (and often more important buff) by default, but at the same time left a commented out major galop ID (for those who have it more priority)

Cairnkid Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Additional UI Option Hi Thank you for the addon Is there a possibility to add an option to either hide the off-bar (similar to ADR, with only the active skills from the back bar above the active bar) or switch the bars, so you can always see both bars, but the active bar is always at the bottom, so you always look at the same place for the active bar instead of switching from upper to lower? Regards, Savanna

I love this addon, but would like to be able to have the bars side by side, so looks like one long bar, with maybe a slight glow around the bar that you are currently on. Any ideas, thoughts or even maybe idea for future release, I would love to hear back! Thank you all. Have a great time gaming.

While events with EFFECT_RESULT_UPDATED are coming, the timer is infinitely updated to ability duration. Try jumping on lava with Dumpen Magic in Vateshran Hollows Last edited by zelenin : 12/05/20 at 05:11 PM.

taugrim Forum posts: 4 File comments: 22 Uploads: 1	First off, thank you for creating this addon, it elegantly solved the problem I had which was being able to see both weapon bars all the time with clear indicators which weapon bar was active. I noticed a minor defect that may or may not be strictly visual. It has to do with comparing the timers in the default UI (Settings > Combat > Buffs & Debuffs > "Always Show") with this addon's timers. Activate a buff and compare the timer on the ability in weapon bar from this addon with the timer provided by the UI. They're slightly off. You can fix this by adding the code in red to the following line in Main.lua: local duration = math.floor(effect.endTime - time()) Last edited by taugrim : 12/07/20 at 11:11 PM.

You can fix this by adding the code in red to the following line in Main.lua:

local duration = math.floor(effect.endTime - time())

I've been testing the UI, and boy am I frustrated with how it looks like the built-in buffs & debuffs work.

They seem to be off by a second. E.g. if I watch the buff timers go to zero, the skill tooltips still have the buffed value for another second. Which seems to imply the built-in buff timers are wrong.

So ignore the post from me that is quoted above - your FAB addon is fine.

It can be confusing, because there are no fractions, so a number 1.5 can be shown as 1 or 2 depending on the addon. It's a matter of personal preference, actually, there is no correct way, it's something you should be aware of to maximize your efficiency. I chose to show "0" only when the skill actually runs out.

Thank you for making this addon as aside from this small bug its always been spot on.

fr3f4ll Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Love the addon, hope there is a fix for update 29! First off, thanks so much for your addon! I love it! However update 29 has left it somewhat broken, at least in gamepad mode. The skill's icons get swapped between both bars and that also affects the counters on each skill. Hope your still around to look at it! Thanks for your time!
