Group Window:

v1.3 New Features:

Command macros on the click-to-cure buttons. This was added to give curing classes a way to coordinate healer channel information, although creative players who don't have cures can use the command function to build new targeted commands into the raid and group windows. (The new DarqUI raid window is also included in this package. You do not need to download both separately.)

Audible Groupwide Detrimentals. New interface controls provide you with instant audible feedback when selected impairments land on members of your group. Choices can be customized on-the-fly so you can re-combine as needed for each encounter. Allows priests to respond more freely to other gameplay elements without constantly watching the group's detrimentals during difficult encounters. Switch monitoring on and off for each impairment type with a single click.

Simplified Default Settings. All default options can now be set with simple variables. Previously several of the choices required digging into the XML code.

Please take a few minutes to read through the help file included with the download. It contains extensive instructions and advice for getting the most out of this interface piece.

Reminder for current users: The format for your spell icons did not change from the last version, so please remember to cut-and-paste your current button sets into the new window before trashing the old version. You can safely use your current click-to-cure definitions as well, although if you want to add macros to the cure buttons you will need to use the updated configuration utility (included).



Version 1.20: Two new display modes have been added: a compact horizontal mode and a cascading default style. Mouse-over controls for all four display modes have been added to the front panel (see image) which can be turned off if they are distracting. See the help file for details.

Other improvements:
* An assist command and icon have been added to the preset options for all subclasses.
* Help file has been expanded to include instructions for setting window default preferences.
* Paladin AA cures have been added as a preset option in the button utility.



Version 1.10: Both windows have been updated to include a command (macro) facility which extends the use of the quick-cast buttons to non-spellcast commands. Optionally execute a targeted command string of your choice along with, or instead of, the spell or combat art using the familiar %T mnemonic. Use the new command feature to assist, follow, do emotes, send targeted text to specific channels or players, create more complex group/raid/say/tells, cast a follow-up spell. A new tooltip format lists your macro commands along with spell name text.

Other improvements: Cure Check feature now prevents casting cures when the detrimental is uncurable.

Quick-cast Buttons with Spell Icons: These targeted spell buttons can be configured with the actual spell icons instead of numbers. A simple utility (with a complete help file) is included with the download for setting up your buttons. Switch between three sets of four buttons in the raid window, and three sets of five in the group window. Choose one of two locations for the quick-cast icons: over top of the player health bars where they appear only for the player you are mousing over, or on the right side where they appear continuously. If you can cut-and-paste text in Notepad, you can set up your spell icons.

Click-to-Cure with Cure Check: These cures work as expected, but they have a feature that I haven't seen on other interfaces which I call Cure Check. If this option is turned on, the click-to-cure button will do a check to see if there is at least one detrimental effect of that type on the player at the moment you click. If not, the button doesn't respond, your spellcast is not interrupted, and the tell/groupsay/raidsay does not go into chat. This will help in some cases where the same player would have been over-cured by multiple priests. Also with this feature, a priest could cast a long heal and then pre-spam a cure button without missing the heal if the cure turned out to not be needed.

I hope you enjoy using this mod. I have included the group window with the raid window because they were designed together, and they operate the same way. But you can use one without the other if you prefer. If you like these windows, be sure to check out my Clock/Countdown Timer, and my Threat window which uses the Cure Check feature for remedy potions.
