New Bottom Bar Issues

2. Need a few more dividers (between MA and AE Autoattack and between abil recov and crit chance)

3. Is there a way to setup the items in the order they were in in the old bar, so we could get it to look just like the old bar or can you give us a way to reorder the items in the list.

4. Is there a way to change the abbriviations you used in the bottom bar?


Thanks for all the work.

1. I found the issue. Sorry about that.
2. I can add more dividers. They take up space on the bar however so I figured the 10 I have were probably all anyone would want. Those 10 divide the major categories of stats.

3. I could reorder them. I should be able to make them sortable as well but that is for a later time. I wanted to get this out before I worked on more options for it.

4. You would have to edit the code atm. That is something else I want to make dynamic. But even when that is done the size would not vary. I know of no way to determine the length of a string in the ui(would be necessary to make the items truely dynamic).

1. Thanks, no worries, just trying to help.

2. can we move the existing dividers? if not, the two I requested, help divide the stats up closer to the original bar (and of course was my take on how it should be divided ).

3. no big deal. the sorting would be nice but, I am just so used to looking at a certain part of the bottow bar for stats, and I am totally confused when I don't see what I am looking for. Will take a while to get used to the new order, but I will eventually.

4. Thanks. I will tweak the code if it really bugs me, and yes the ability to set our own labels would be nice, and I realize it may not be soon, after all you do this on your own time.

These were all suggestions to help make the bottom bar better (at least from my perspective, I don't know how anyone else feels.)

Thanks again for all the hard work.

Moving the dividers should be fairly easy. If you look at the code, you'll see that each block defines either a divider or an item (look at the last part of the second line of the block). You should be able to cut a divider block and paste it between a different pair of item blocks. Just be careful to keep the dividers and items in the same order. I haven't tried changing the order to see what happens.

Did you every get a chance to fix this issue and push it to the patcher. I am still seeing it.

Thanks

I have fixed it but not pushed it. That item, adding concentration slots to the bar, adding more dividers, and sorting are going to go out once I have the sorting complete.
