Just an idea to add if you find the time and decided to update this addon.

I would like a '1' to the left or a '2' to the right of the reticle depending on which bar is selected. The no fade would also be a desired addon.

I've definitely considered that option of 1 and 2 on alternate sides as something I might like myself, as well as the option to use different glyphs — for people that use one bar for DPS the other for Healing.

The main problem right now is time. This last year has been crazy for a lot of us and 2021 isn't looking like it's calming down. Haven't been able to play much since December. :-/

Thanks for a terrific addon!

KnightofOsiris Forum posts: 0 File comments: 17 Uploads: 1	Re: No Fade Hoping to push an API update soon, and I do want to look into options regarding alternate sides, some fresh options for notifications, and, I'm thinking, a numeric readout attached to the reticle for the current bar. Unfortunately, I don't have a computer that can run ESO (or pretty much anything) at the moment, so can't implement and test anything new. Despite the main rig being a fairly newish machine (built it Dec 2019), it can run the old Windows 10 19.09 edition (and earlier) fine, but anything from 20.04 onwards the Windows UI randomly hangs, requiring a hard reset. Nothing is reported in the Event Log ether. Windows itself isn't crashing (no blue screens), as an example, watching a stream the video will freeze, but the audio keeps playing and you can't interact with anything on the screen -- although the mouse pointer still moves around. I've wiped and installed fresh copies of 20.04, 20H2 and currently 21H1, with the same results -- so it isn't something connected to upgrading or 3rd party app conflicts. It happens with just Windows. Go back to 19.09 and the problem goes away, but then Windows updates itself to 21H1 and the problem comes right back. Currently testing the video card on my old i7 2600K board, and so far there are no issues with it running with 21H1 on that old board (10 years old now). Might be an issue with my X570 motherboard. Ran MemTest86 on my RAM got 0 errors and a pass. Until I can resolve this issue, any enhancements are going to have to wait. Just wanted to let you all know that your requests are not being ignored. Sorry. Last edited by KnightofOsiris : 06/03/21 at 06:58 PM.

This morning I was thinking that it would be nice if Barswap could set the bar based upon combat mode. The ability to set the bar (primary or secondary) when one enters combat and when they leave combat. I have a few toons that are specialty toons (thief/combat and hunter/gatherer) that could benefit greatly from an unobtrusive option such as this. I font know how many times Ive been thieving on my backbar and went into combat less prepared because I forgot to swap the bar. Thanks for your consideration.

Thanks for your consideration.

Thank you for the feedback, sadly, PC is still acting up -- although I think I've narrowed it down to an interaction between the motherboard (Asus ROG X570 Gaming-E), the NVMe SSD (Samsung 970 EVO) and Windows versions later than 19.09. Need to find some money. I think it's replace hardware time. :-]

As to the addon auto-switching the bar, and I might be wrong, but I don't believe addons are allowed to do that -- would come under the heading of 'automating game play'. Addons aren't supposed to do anything that interferes with or automates combat in anyway -- example: blocking you from casting a spell or casting a spell for you.

However, maybe the planned continuous bar number display might help you -- a numeral or symbol displayed next to the reticle is my current thinking. Been thinking out ideas, just can't code them at the moment.

Grafty Forum posts: 6 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Any way to edit the lua file to make the notifications last longer? currently: Code: ["Fade (1 second)"] = { Initialise = function() barSwapNotificationControl.animation = GetTimeline(FADE_STYLE, barSwapNotificationControl) local anim = barSwapNotificationControl.animation:GetFirstAnimation() anim:SetDuration(9000) anim:SetAlphaValues(1, 0) barSwapNotificationControl:SetScale(1 * savedVars.notificationScale) By default this is at 1000 (for one second) and I have changed it a few times to get a longer duration out of it but it doesnt seem to work. I changed it first to 15000, and then to 9000 thinking it just wasnt going over 10 seconds but no luck there either

            anim:SetAlphaValues(1, 0)
            barSwapNotificationControl:SetScale(1 *  savedVars.notificationScale)

In addition to the duration for each animation, there is also a timer that calls the StopAnimation() function after three seconds (line 375):

Code:

-- Register for update to terminate animation after 3000ms.
eventManager:RegisterForUpdate("BarSwapFeedbackAnimationTimeout", 3000, StopAnimation)

You might want to try increasing the duration of that timer as well — that is a global timer, it might break the other animation options.

Sorry I can't test this at the moment, waiting on new PC parts.

One that comes to mind is 'AutoSlotSwitch' which switches out your rotary menu to a specific potion or other item when you enter combat and swaps it back when you leave. Perhaps you could have a look and maybe even contact that author to get his input? I really think this would be a valuable option to an already great addon!

Thanks!

Will take a look at this once I get back in game.

In the options panel there are options for left/right arrows, up/down arrows, one/two bars, circles and triangles. Each bar can be set to a different colour as well.

Thanks

As far as I know, should work fine in any fight, boss or otherwise. The addon simply responds to a signal from the game itself. One of my main testers streams the game and runs hard-mode trials every Thursday night, they haven't informed me of any issues, and I haven't seen any while watching.

Not even sure why the indicator would be stuck on since there is a timer to hide it — it is not intended to be on permanently, but to be a confirmation of when the bar is swapped.

While I plan to introduce an option for a permanent display, it's not implemented yet — my computer was down for about eight months with a very hard to trace issue causing it to hang up randomly and stop responding to input, while the applications continued to run.

All I can suggest right now, while logged out of the game, is if you right-click on the addon in Minion there is an option to 'Delete Saved Variables'. This will reset the addon to a fresh install state. If that doesn't fix it, there is another option to reinstall which will erase the existing files and re-download.

I reinstalled the addon, and now I see large numbers in the centre of the screen for a short time during weapon swap. This is fine so I am ok.

I guess for some strange reason I changed the defaults and this central screen display was disabled.

All fine now for me, thanks for the reply though
