    • Created from scratch with streamlined options and updated compatibility.

    ~~~

    Slightly Improved™ Experience Bar makes it a bit easier to track your progression through out the game.

    ★ Allow you to set the visibility of the experience bar to Always Show.
    ★ Add a progression label on top of the bar with current experience, max experience, and percentage.

    ~~~

    Slightly Improved™ add-ons:

    • Slightly Improved™ Attribute Bars
    • Slightly Improved™ Experience Bar
    • Slightly Improved™ Dialogues
    • Slightly Improved™ Gameplay
    • Slightly Improved™ Buff Tracking

    ~~~

    Slightly Improved™ add-ons were originally created by L8Knight who kindly allowed me to continue his legacy. None of this would be possible without the help and support of the ESOUI community, and the inspiration from players like you. Thank you.

    Ok, cool. This gives me a lot to go on. I'm 20% into 49 so I should be at vet status pretty soon. That will help a ton to debug the issue. Please hold tight for a day or two.

    I have been using this since you first came out with it (first day!) and consider it a must-have and it was working perfectly until the 1.2.3 patch and the api update afterwards.
    Thanks for checking and experimenting. I wonder if its related to veteran ranks (which I am not quite yet a part of). Can you try this on a second character below level 50 and see if you see the same behavior? I also assume you're playing on Windows? That's really just another data point -- I'm on a Mac.

    Also, can you see what happens if you comment out these two lines (202 and 203):

    Lua Code:
    1. EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("SIEB", EVENT_EXPERIENCE_UPDATE, SIEB.ExperienceUpdate)
    2. EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("SIEB", EVENT_VETERAN_POINTS_UPDATE, SIEB.ExperienceUpdate)

    The text values should no longer update, but I'm curious if the bar continues to disappear.

    I spent a good hour and a half last night commenting out portions of the code, adding lots of SIEB.RefreshLabel() commands in places, even commenting out one, then the other, then both of those RegisterForEvent lines to no avail. Good thing there isn't a /reloadui spam limit.
    I did another test just now and commented out just those two lines and still it disappears when a mob dies / VP is gained.

    What I deduced is that even with just showing the exp bar only and nothing else displaying, no FlashGain, no RefreshLabel functions firing, removing the exp calculations, it still disappears. I even mucked with the SetAlpha values to no avail.

    - Show Percentage Text: ON
    - Show Cur/Max Text: ON
    - Show Bar During Dialog: ON

    - Experience Gain Duration: 20 (wishlist for like 3x this time!)

    Same exact behavior with or without other add-on's enabled.
    I couldn't reproduce what you're seeing, but I tried to simplify the update handler -- that was my best guess at what was causing the problem. This version (2.7) makes the experience bar just like one of the attribute bars. It should show in the normal HUD and in the "cursor" HUD and optionally during dialogs, and hide all other times. I had to remove the alpha transparency feature for now.

    Let me know if this changes the behavior.

    I also added an option (thanks Brett'el for the suggestion!) to move the cur/max text below the bar to better fit veteran player displays.
    Ok, hmm. Very strange that it isn't able to be reproduced. Using the updated version, on NA server, I removed all add-on's and ran plain vanilla except for slightly improved exp bar enabled:


    And then I kill 1 mob and it disappears until I hit esc twice (BTW, even with "Always show leveling exp" ON in vet levels it disappears after VP/exp gain):

    I think this issue should now be fixed. I figured out how to use their new (to me?) scene manager so the experience bar is always displayed.

    For now, you can force the exp bar to be shown by going into your character stats screen. Once you close that screen, the exp bar should remain visible until you open up the map.

    Thanks! I uploaded what I think is a fix.

    I'm still trying to figure out why I can't force the experience bar to be visible. There were some changes made to it so they can show things like "Fighters Guild" experience and what not. They renamed it to PlayerProgressBar and did some other changes I'm trying to figure out. It might take a few days for this fix.

    For now, you can force the exp bar to be shown by going into your character stats screen. Once you close that screen, the exp bar should remain visible until you open up the map.

    I am getting the same error and not running any other add-ons.
    That looks like its coming from a library I use for configuration settings. I'll look around and see if there's a fix.

    I just hit level 48 tonight. Once I'm at veteran status it will be easier for me to support that part of the add-on.
