Is it possible to build options in the UI to auto-change weapons for a Sword Rogue, so a dagger could be swapped in just to use with abilities that require a dagger?

Or automatically swap in a Dagger whenever the Rogue uses stealth and re-equip swords when you come out of Stealth?

I'm sure there are other useful areas for auto weapon switches, but that one strikes me immediately as useful.

Also, while I am on UI change possiblities. Is it possible to reset the session experience per hour calculation with a command line rather than logging out and back in? I would like to use it to gauge the effectiveness of grinding particular types of MOBs and it's a pain to log out and back in whenever you run to a new camp.

If i get the warrior mod working i will see about a rogue one, those are the only 2 classes that really would use weapon swaps.

You can reset the clock by typing /console reloadui It's a quick dirty way of doing it until i can figure out an easy way to reset it by adding a reset button on the clock.

Another thing i'm working on is a lock/unlock feature for the sidebar and making a dynamic sidebar where you can move it, rotate it for the different sides on the screen, and allow you to select how many buttons/rows you want on your sidebar.

And lastly an options menu to turn features on and off as well as a few config options. After that i think the UI will have most everything needed to keep it's lightweight and barebones feel while maximizing on a majority of players needs. There will always be a few touch ups here and there to the current mods like i still haven't added quest levels to the display, i think i will do that soon, and maybe a few other mods people deem "necessary", but overall i appreciate all the support of the UI and glad to see everyone enjoys using it.

One that that is annoying about the current mod are those potion and hearthstone buttons on the bottom right side of the screen. They cover up part of the last line of the combat log for simple chat, as well as the scroll down button. I think you need to get rid of that or move those buttons somewhere else.

Also, it's a bit annoying that the top buttons of the right sidebar covers up the durability warning icon. Making the sidebar movable might work, or you could always just get rid of the top buttons that are blocking the icon.

I really like this UI, tried the cosmos on new patch and crash crash, 5fps etc. Yours is clean and simple as it should be.
What I would like to be in the UI is the health of my party members.
Just in numbers so you know which heal to use.
Furthermore I don't like the heartsone hp etc buttons either.

Is there a DPS feature on this mod anywhere? I got rid of cosmos in favor of this mod and I'm lovin it.

In your interface options there is a checkbox for text status, if you put a check in it, that will show you the numbers up all the time.

Some people don't like all the features which is why i'm working on a config menu so you can turn items off and on, also working on making all the items moveable.

Making the sidebar moveable and sizable should fix the problem with it covering the geardoll, it only affects the default resolution currently, the simple chat thing shouldn't be too hard to work around, but i would highly suggest using the advanced chat, you can move and resize your chat windows, and make seperate tabs for different chat channels, so if you want all your /general and /trade in another tab on your main window so it doesn't clutter your normal group and guild chat. After you get it all setup make sure you go into your interface options and put a check into lock chat, that will make your chat winows unmoveable, and you won't get the annoying background when you mouse over them.

This worked for me a couple patches ago, but then it stopped working with the new client. clicking status bar text only shows me my health/mana/xp, I still have to mouse over my pets/party members to see theirs.

Also, maybe i'm just blind, but with the new interface options menu in the recent patch I couldn't even see a "status bar text" option.

It's in there and it works for this patch, it now shows your party members HP/Mana when checked.

This is a great idea becuse currently i cant see my charachters little repair icon becuse the sidebar is blocking it, this i think is becuse i play at 1025 times 768 resolution, if i was able to move it around i would move the two top boxes to the left down where there currently is nothing :wink:

Awesome tool, but isn't it going to be nerfed in the future? I heard that they were going to add an equip cooldown timer to prevent such add-on functionality.

If they do then yes it would be a little useless, but we will see.
