flat horizontal/vertical HO window

SpecailK1215 · #1 03-16-2005, 06:05 PM

I would like to request a flat HO window that would take less space than the usual round HO window.
I find myself irritated by the default circular HO window taking up a lot of space on the screen.

On my to-do list for the MookUI complete set. Don't know when I'll actually get to it though.

Hmm... when I decide I want to DO something and just finish it instead of making it part of a package that's never gonna get done... yeah.

Before I officially release this, I need someone to verify that the "wheel" part icon order is correct, with order-specific HOs going left to right.

I'd also like a screenshot of a 3-part wheel if someone gets one.

File attached.

So I whipped one up this evening, but deathbanes is much nicer

I didn't even bother to test wheel order...
Should show up in the misc. section some time soon.

Of course, I wouldn't be Mookasaurus Deathbane if I didn't realize that the HO wheel never actually uses more than 4 icons and decide it needed to be even more compact.

Awesome! I've been searching for something like this. Thanks for the hardwork look forward to this being fielded.

I was always wondering why there was more than 4 slots in the HO wheel. Maybe plans for future? lol (me thinks that one was a little too far planned ahead).

They originally had ho starters really easy to cancel and HO timer lasted 30 seconds, they changed it to 10 or 15 or something and made the starter harder to accidentally cancel. Presumably 30 seconds was enough to have a six slot HO, hopefully they don't make a six slot one now that the timer is shortened, not sure I'm going to chop mine though, that six link ordered HO would surely kick ass!

I would guess if they added 6-slot HO's (in order or not) they would make the time longer. I wouldn't be surprised if they change all HO timers to scale to difficulty.

thx for the feedback deathbane. looks like a very good design. i'll try it out right away. =]

You know, I'd been meaning to reskin the HO window to match the rest of my UI for a while. Thanks for giving me the kick in the butt I needed to actually get around to doing it.

(I haven't released this as a full UI yet, but I'm working towards it. Still have a few wrinkles to iron out.)
