Revamped old eXtremeUI target window

MacDaddy62 · #1 10-16-2010, 05:30 AM

I'm currently using Profit, but with several modifications to it. One of those modifications is that I am still using the old eXtremeUI target window of years ago. I like it a lot and there is no other target window remotely like it out there that I have found. However, it has a few problems, particularly in light of the recent patch.

First, it seems impossible to right-click it so that I may readily lock and unlock it in order to move it. The only way in which I have been able to do this in the past is to unlock all windows via UI options, move the target window, then lock all windows to re-lock the target window, then selectively unlock various other windows that I want unlocked.

Second, the window doesn't show the effects of the implied target.

Third, it doesn't have the new target casting bars that were implemented in GU58.

I have attached screenshots of the target window (one with and one without an implied target). I have also attached what I believe are the relevant files in my custom UI folder. Most of the files are ones that are unique to the old eXtremeUI and that I scraped out of it and stuck in Profit. It is possible that some of the files I have included are extraneous with respect to the target window; I'm just not sure, as I'm not a programmer. If someone would like to undertake the project of producing a new or revamped version of this window, I would greatly appreciate it and I think it would bring some much-needed variety to the selection of target windows out there.

Would you like a threat indicator added as well or just the casting bar and the icons?

I have a separate threat window that I use, so I'm good there.

Also, I'd like to note that one of the things I really like about this target window is that it splits when there is an implied target, but uses the full length of what would be the target + implied target windows for the actual target when there is no implied target. This feature, combined with the size and colors of the window, makes it very easy for me to see when I have aggro on my target.

Adding the NPC cast bars and implied target effects are a big improvement. I did not expect anyone to respond so quickly with such an improvement. Thanks a lot. It could be better still in a few ways though:

1. The cast bars could be brighter in color to make it more obvious when the mob is casting (right now they are gray).

2. The implied target's name and hp bar is now shifted a bit to the right of where it should be (see attached screenshot).

3. I still can't right-click the target window.

1. Suggest a color

. I used gray to match the bottom of the bar.

2. Did not have that big of a gap on mine ... will test it.

3. Not sure about the right click problem ...will look into it.

Honestly I never even noticed that gray bar at the bottom before.

I would suggest royal blue so that it contrasts with the hp bar directly below it.

Royal Blue casting bar now.
Right Click works.
As for the spacing mine does not look that way. The data for where to place the implied target is static so if you maybe manually resized the target window in the past that might cause it. Here is a pic of what I see.

Wow, that's perfect for me now. I fixed my spacing problem that I illustrated before. It seems that at some point I made the implied target window larger horizontally (I was always able to right-click and unlock the implied target, but that never did me any good given the way the 2 windows are set up). In the past, this action that I had apparently taken at some point never manifested in any way, but I guess whatever edits you made caused it to start manifesting in the form of the gap I illustrated. I simply shrunk the implied target window horizontally and the gap disappeared.

It's really awesome to have my all-time favorite target window updated to be fully working and inclusive of all the new stuff; I just can't deal with any other target window. Thanks a lot. You did a really great job with this.

I'm glad you liked it. Have fun!
