ProfitUI Target Casting Window variant

[Mystara0001]

I've been working on a variant of the Target Casting window used in ProfitUI.

My goal is to add a hotbar of 13 buttons to the bottom of it that are quick tradeskill buttons. The list includes all of the summon tradeskill tables, the summoned harvester goblin and pony, track harvestables, salvage, refine, transmute.


I can get some of them to work, but the others I cannot figure out as I'm doing the same thing for all of the buttons and they just aren't working or displaying correctly.


The goal is to have their actual icon appear on the hotbar, and then the user can cast them from there without having to use up any of their main hotbars.


Attached is my XML of the modified window. Any help would be appreciated.

I've grabbed that to take a look at. I can't help much with coding, but that's an interesting idea that I'd like to test.

Here's an update.

Made a few changes and now I can get all of the icons to display properly. However the same "broken" buttons are shaded out almost as if it does not detect that I have those spells available.


These are taken directly from the hotbar information which is why the icons display correctly now. I just do not understand why some of them will be disabled.

I keep checking and double checking the code on this to make sure that everything is consistent from button to button.

I'm starting to think that the problem is with the client just not recognizing that these spells are available to the player.


Has anyone else encountered this? Is it possible that the numbers being reported in the hotkey dump is not the same as the actual spell number?

I've decided to not use the Target Casting Window since it is a custom window in ProfitUI and instead decided to add the buttons to the Target Tagging Window. The window can be shown using the ctrl+shift+t key combination.

I am still having issues with some spells being recognized and some not. I have also added a 14th button (for symmetry) that is a simple recipe book toggle.


Attached is the latest iteration.

I've tried the variant using the Tag Target Window. Here's a list of what worked and what didn't. Where the tooltip read "Tradeskill Action nn," the button had no effect. For the record, I do have all these abilities and they work when the corresponding skill button is put on a hotbar..

Slot	Skill					Tooltip
1	Summon Chemistry Table			Summon Chemistry Table
2	Summon Engraved Desk			Summon Engraved Desk
3	Summon Forge				Summon Forge
4	Summon Sewing Table			Summon Sewing Table
5	Summon Stove & Keg			Tradeskill Action 5
6	Summon Woodworking Table		Tradeskill Action 6
7	Summon Work Bench			Tradeskill Action 7
8	Summon Artisan's Gathering Goblin	Tradeskill Action 8
9	Summon Artisan's Pack Pony		Summon Artisan's Pack Pony
10	Track Harvestables			Track Harvestables
11	Salvage					Tradeskill Action 11
12	Refine					Refine
13	Transmutation				Tradeskill Action 13
14	Recipe Window				Recipe Window

Darned if I can see any pattern here.

Those are my results as well.

I am scratching my head as to why though.


I have meticulously checked every line of code to ensure they are all the same.

I have found a way to drag the icons to the hotbar and see what it is listing them as. All six of the non working icons are changing for some unknown reason to "spell 2147483647"


This number isn't a spell but rather an icon designation type. Now the question becomes, "What could make the client change the original spell numbers, and why always into the same number?"

[Therendil]

Gah. That makes no sense at all. Wish I could be more help.

That happens to be the largest positive number you can store in a signed 32-bit integer (all 1's except for the sign bit). That's an obvious value for a flag value or special value. My guess is that's indicating there's some magic going on in the client. Are you familiar with the Census API and web service?

It's nice to know someone recognizes the number.


I am not familiar with the Census API. The UI coding I do is a combination of my knowledge with XML/XHTML and the bit of coding I've learned from looking through other UI pieces.


Is there a work around for this, or at this point is is just something the client does?
