lets compare notes: Fixing the target window

So far i figured out that for the tier indicator and info to work you need to put them in a page called "v0"

The broken con color tho, i am totally lost on. Can we restore it?

Well for what its worth, i have found that the default target and Imp windows are not all lined up right for some reason, I tried to convert my existing windows and use page v0 , v1 but they only worked right when using the new con system, and that seems to resize the whole window ? WTF lol

If you line up existing custom target pieces ect and put then in a page called v0, it seems to shrink the window in game.

Only thing I have managed to do is change the frame and get it to work lol, but there has been like 4 zone crashes in TS whilst I was working on this, so I think there is some heavy bugs in some of this new code anyway.

i've got my own unreleased thing going on, and i havent seen the window resize. The teir thingy use to center itself, now its left aligned

does starting from scratch make the con color work?

My (unreleased) target window was easy to convert. The size of the v0 page adjusts the size the window is resized to once in game (and using the old style target window), but I didn't calculate the exact relation between v0 size and main window size, I just took screenshots, figured out how many pixels shorter/skinnier I needed and changed the v0 size accordingly.

No screenshot (because this is mainly a posting my-code-sort of post) but here's some ugly ascii art of my window:

Code:

O-------------O
|     ^^^     |
|Target's Name|
| =========== |
|Heroic   100%|
| =========== |
|Lvl 0    100%|
O-------------O

I've been toying with this myself. If you make modifications directly to the v0 page, and set your UI to use the old con system the con colors will work. I've moved things around and gotten tierindicator back in the right spot. I've been trying to get it too look like Mooks (which was awesome) but the Health and Power bars don't want to work. It also won't show the power percent or bar. They made a mess of the window
