ESO Toolbox  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 3.1
by: Smaxx [More]
This addon adds a new toolbox page to the settings menu ("Settings" -> "Addons" -> "ESO Toolbox").

Here you're able to adjust some more advanced settings (e.g. the actual renderer being used, whether to use multithreading, or if you'd like to skip the intro videos) in addition to quality of life improvements like chat timestamps.

This is primarily meant for those running into issues when running the game. If you don't want to edit your UserSettings.txt by hand, try adjusting the setting with this addon.

I'll try to include all relevant and most often helpful options that aren't available in the game by default. If you're missing a setting, drop me a comment, and I'll add it.

Some of the issues that can hopefully be fixed with this addon:[list][*]Periodical (and inconsistent) stuttering or freezes of the game.[*]Graphical glitches or artifacts as well as poor performance caused by graphic card drivers.

Examples of additional settings and features:
  • Select the game's screenshot format (BMP, PNG, or JPEG).
  • Permanently disable the short logo videos shown during startup.
  • Adjust the view distance based on FPS.
  • Allow the chat window to grow to twice the standard size.
  • Add chat timestamps.
  • Show group or say/yell chat as subtitles (might be interesting for roleplayers or streamers)
Version 3.1 - 1 June 2021
  • Added time stamps to (most) debug messages issued by other addons
  • Updated API version for Darkwood release

Version 3.0 - 8 March 2021
  • Made the addon localizable. If you're interested to create or update a translation, look into "lang/template.lua".
  • When showing nearby chat or group chat as subtitles, now respect the game's setting regarding preferred names (character name vs. account name).

Version 2.9 - 2 November 2020
  • Updated API compatibility, no new features (yet).

Version 2.8 - 27 October 2020
  • Removed LibStub dependency (duh, completely forgot about it…).

Version 2.7 - 4 June 2020
  • Updated for Greymoor.
  • Added new options to show group chat and/or say/yell as subtitles.
  • Reuploaded 2.7 on 23rd June to fix a versioning issue.

Version 2.6 - 27 October 2019
  • Updated for Dragonhold and removed a few outdated options.

Version 2.5 - 2 September 2015
  • Few changes accumulated over the last few months (obviously forgot to upload. :()
  • Bumped the API version for the IC release.

Version 2.4 - 5 March 2015
  • Added an option to hide the friends counter on the chat window (restoring pre-1.6 behavior).

Version 2.3 - 4 March 2015
  • Updated API version for Update 6.
  • Added an option to tint the compass while in-fight.

Version 2.2 - 22 February 2015
  • Added an option for chat timestamps.
  • Added an option to double the maximum chat window width.

Version 2.1 - 17 February 2015
  • Fixed library dependencies not loading properly.
  • Added an experimental feature to auto-adjust view distance based on FPS.
  • Added a big red warning that you can break ESO by picking wrong values.

Version 2.0 - 9 February 2015
  • Completely rewritten from scratch using LibAddonMenu 2.0.
  • While I've dropped localization for this version, I plan on readding it soon.

Pretty cool. I hope eventually you can add more detailed settings like particle density and etc if that's even possible.

Hello I just want to say you should put a warning saying to make a copy of your usersetings.txt file. I installed your addon and turned on the otion in troubleshooting cpu and it messed up my usersetting.txt file up so bad i couldnt get the game to run. I did manage to find the info to make a new one but still i would have just copied it in the first place if i had a warning to begin with.

Wow, that shouldn't happen. Did you disable Multithreading and the game no longer loaded? Or did it just take very long to do so?

Edit: Just tried it again and it works for me. Anyway, I've updated the description/warning at the top to include the suggestion to create a backup.

I turned on the Multithreading option cause i have frame skips alot and then i quit the game like it told me to. and when i went to log back in my play button went grey and the game didnt load. i then had to get the default info for the usersettings.txt file and make a new one before it let me back in.

First time I hear from someone it's disabled by default. But sounds indeed like it's just taking too long (the game window might still appear but that's not guaranteed then).

If it's disabled already, don't reenable it since it's most likely done for a reason.

Ok well ty for the info. sorry to say that was the only reason i tried your addon. I was hoping it would help make ESO run alittle better until i get my new comp next month. Good luck with future stuff.

Still working on this?

As subject title states, are you still working on this Smaxx?

It sounds like a great idea and I would like to know if you plan on implementing any more features from the usersettings.txt file.

Have downloaded and installed to see what it looks like in-game though have no real need for it as I have already altered settings manually.

Is there any interesting function missing or new? Didn't update the addon so far, since I didn't think there's any further must-have.

Re: Re: Still working on this?

Hello! Quite like the extra settings, but I just wanted to let you know that on my computer, disabling particle effects caused multiple game breaking issues, like unmountable horses and random animations doing unintended things in my game.

Running an AMD 7850k APU, I hear amd stuff is not playing nice with this game? I am using the beta drivers if it matters.

Just wanted to let you know! I was scratching my head for hours trying to figure out what the heck was the issue.

That link is useless, since we have to register to that site, to view whatever that page is.

Ah! That might explain why I've heard of people having freezes again. Going to fix this now, thanks!

Interesting idea. Maybe even some kind of automatic graphic quality adjustment based on fps? Not sure how well that would work though.

Edit:
If all you're missing are keybinds, then I'd just ask Shissu to include them. Shouldn't be too hard to do.
