C) The bar needs to remain visible when the user has entered stealth, otherwise it is a bit confusing.

A) Melee auto attack misses don't show up at all. Misses only show up when you do a CA/Spell or a Ranged auto attack. I'm aware of this, but I'm not sure how to fix this.
B) Do you use a dual wield weapon with different delays? What's your average latency? Care to elaborate? (I'm not sure if I understand you)
C) When the user enters stealth, autoattack turns off...so I'm not sure what to do there.
I'm going to try to streamline the code with my next update.

Right now it's in testing so it's only about 95% functional. Put the file in your customui directory.

If you don't have eq2ui_custom.xml, copy the one from the default ui folder and paste it in your custom ui folder and follow the instructions of this quote.

Here's my latest version. Nothing major in this test release. I cleaned up some code and streamlined events and calculations. I also added the function which turns off the secondary bar display when Primary/Secondary delays are both the same.

Great work so far dragowulf, even for a freep =P
One suggestion that will take care of one issue is to have the bar remain visible if it is still counting down.
For example, if you kill a mob with auto ranged attack, your bar will continue to be visible while it is counting down. Once it has finished, and you are no longer attacking, the bar disappears. This will also let you know that as a tank, when you press the autoattack button to target the next mob (most tanks do this right?!?!) you may not hit it right away and could hit a few CA's first.

Good idea. I'll try to do that.

To get auto attack misses to show you, you need to use a command, i believe its
/combatbubble_only_spell_misses 0
When i did that the auto attack misses started showing up, but they were grey instead of orange, and it looked like they had a shadowstyle heh.
And what I mean by B) is that if you watch the chat log, you get the auto attack message before the combat bubble actually appears (Some times). I've seen it take a full second before the combat bubble renders. So if you are running ACT and have the autoattack notification plug in running, you'll hear it fire before the combat bubble appears atleast half of the time.

the question is whether that also makes the bar delayed or whether it is just a visual thing for the floating bubbles. They might well OnShow on time but be scrolled into view only later.

Yes it does delay the bar, I was testing it with the both the chat window and the ACT auto attack notification.
The log line would show up a good 1/2 second to 1 second before the bar would reset at least 40 to 50% of the time.

I toyed around with all of the /combatbubble commands. none of them made the combat bubbles appear when they were supposed to with any form of accuracy. That is why i'm curious if there is an event that could be used before the OnShow event. Maybe OnActivate... I don't know the event hierarchy for the UI - any event that occurs before the OnShow event.

Hmm, hope somebody finds a solution to that, because I don't see one.
You can't run an event script before the event occurs, what you could do it offset the entire bar by the delay but that would be fairly inaccurate.

Yeah right now I don't see a way around it, I'll test it more tonight and maybe come up with some ideas.

Just make the last little section of the bar red.. like the last 5% of the 100%.
That will take into account bubble lag.
