Foundry Tactical Combat (FTC) Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.72

by: Atropos [More]

Foundry Tactical Combat is a user interface enhancement for The Elder Scrolls Online designed to give players access to relevant combat data in an easy to process framework which allows them to respond quickly and effectively to evolving combat situations. The multiple components of the FTC addon are designed to restore certain information to the game interface which many gamers may feel is missing from the default minimalistic UI.

The addon is still in active development by Atropos, and will hopefully continue to evolve and improve during the coming weeks and months. If you are a fan of the addon, keep an eye on the main addon page on Tamriel Foundry to ensure you always have the latest version.

FTC Components

Foundry Tactical Combat has six primary components which are each optionally configurable. All UI elements added by FTC can be disabled or repositioned to suit your preferences. Additionally, Foundry Tactical Combat is fully localized for French and German client versions!

Unit Frames – FTC Unit Frames refers to the display of attribute bars and other information pertaining to yourself, your target, and your group members. The FTC frames are designed to be lightweight and informative. The frames show numerical values for your resources and damage shielding, as well as visual indicators for active HoT and DoT effects, your target’s exceute threshold, and more. The unit frames can have a rich set of aesthetic customization options allowing you to achieve the exact look that fits your UI style.

Active Buff Tracking – The Buff Tracking component of FTC displays a configurable list of icons representing the known buff and debuff effects that are currently affecting your character. The ESO addon API does not provide this information for buffs with durations shorter than 30 seconds, but FTC uses an intelligent combination of detection mechanisms to carefully approximate your inventory of active effects. This knowledge can help you make more informed combat decisions, improve your resource management, and optimize your ability rotation.

Combat Log – Foundry Tactical Combat incorporates a text-based combat log which records a history of combat events so that you can review the details of recent encounters. The combat log by default alternates visibility with the ESO chat tab, but can be detached and positioned wherever you desire on-screen. An optional keybinding can be used to quickly toggle the visibility of the combat log.

Scrolling Combat Text – The FTC Scrolling Combat Text component enables real-time display of damage and healing values as they occur in combat as well as a helpful Combat Alerts component that warns your character immediately when significant combat events occur. FTC’s combat text displays the name and icon (when possible) for known sources of damage as well as useful indicators for damage avoidance through shielding, blocking, or dodging. The display style and format of scrolling combat text events can be customized in the settings menu.

Damage Statistics – The Damage Statistics component adds analytical tools to help you examine and improve your combat performance. While in-combat a small DPS meter tracks the length of your current encounter, your cumulative damage-per-second, and your cumulative healing-per-second throughout the fight. After combat has concluded, you can open a full Damage Report which details the composition of your damage and healing by target. These statitics can be linked to your party members in chat using a configurable keybinding or by clicking on the chat icons in the damage report.

Advanced Hotbar – The Advanced Hotbar component improves the default ESO action bar by adding some additional information that is useful in combat. Your current Ultimate pool and your percentage towards the next Ultimate activation is displayed as well as a visual glow indicator behind the ultimate itself which indicates that you are currently generating additional Ultimate in combat. The Advanced Hotbar component also adds an explicit potion cooldown timer so you can know exactly when you will be able to use your next consumable item.

Installation Instructions
To install Foundry Tactical Combat follow these steps. FTC is also supported by Minion, an automated ESO addon management utility.

1) Download FTC_Current.zip to a location of your choosing.
2) Extract the .zip archive into your ESO addons folder found in My Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/Addons/ for Windows users, or Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/Addons. for OS X.
3) You should now have a folder inside Addons named “FoundryTacticalCombat” which contains the addon files.
4) Launch The Elder Scrolls Online. FTC should be automatically enabled. If not, go to the Add-Ons section of the game menu and make sure that the box beside Foundry Tactical Combat is checked.
5) Access the FTC configuration settings by navigating in-game to Settings -> Add-Ons -> FTC, or by simply typing “/ftc” into chat.

Hey Garkin, thanks a ton for trying it out and reporting this. I made some changes to the way the addon is storing the contents of the user's hotbar. Do you recall if you might have had empty hotbar slots at the time? I wonder if I forgot to leave a fail-safe in for the slot being unpopulated... hmm.

On a related note, I owe you some personal thanks for all the work you've been doing keeping addons updated. IMHO you are the biggest asset the ESO addon community has and all the improvements you (and other authors as well) are making to their addons is probably inspiring and pushing to try and keep improving FTC more than my own internal motivation is at this point. Thanks, and keep it up!

Yes, I did have empty slot - if you drag skill from action slot, it becomes empty.

I should say thank you as well, because you are one of authors who have inspired me to start with writting addons.

I got 2 points for your last update:
1. liBAddonMenu-2.0 is still at version r16, but r17 was released about a week ago (inlcuding 1.6 support). The library throws a message if an addon is using a version <r17 so maybe you should update it too
2. Your changelog is showing version 0.36 twice, but 0.37 is missing

Thanks again for this addon!
Baertram

Thanks for the heads up, I'll update the lib in the next couple days. I'm pretty sure I'll have to do another release sometime later this week to fix a couple stray bugs that I didn't catch with 1.6.

Version 0.37 Changes

Reviewed, checked, and updated buff durations for all class, weapon, guild, and miscellaneous skill lines to ensure consistency with ESO 1.6 ability changes.
Added buff tracking support for new Werewolf and Alliance War abilities.
Implemented the first stage of a larger ability tracking framework that will enable me to create better tools for the addon in the future. This first stage allows me to draw some more accurate information about ability cast times and durations directly from the API.
Tweaked unit frames to better support scaled attributes.
Added support for Champion experience gain both in scrolling combat alerts and player frames mini xp-bar.
Enhanced combat damage reporting slightly, fixing several bugs.
Improved potion tracking and notifications in response to the Update 6 alchemy changes.

There are a few outstanding issues of which I'm aware, hopefully I can get some of these remaining problems solved soon.

Version 0.37 Known Issues

Missing adequate localization for French and German buffs in light of Update 6 changes.
Possible bugs in reported Champion xp acquisition during objective completions and quest turn-ins.
Probable unresolved buff timing issues that were not caught during testing.

The next couple months will be interesting for the addon. I'm considering doing a bit of an overhaul with the addon to try and smooth out some of its rough edges, both stylistically and functionally. I want to avoid promising anything at this point because my real-life schedule can be unforgiving and I don't want to over-commit, but hopefully I'll have some more exciting updates to share as we move towards Tamriel Unlimited launch in march. I'm going to target that March 17 date for the next FTC version. Thank you all for your feedback, suggestions, and support (both financial and moral) it is all much appreciated! Please let me know in the comments if you encounter any bugs or find any issues with this release. Thanks for using FTC!

It would be nice however if the follow options be considered. 1 Fonts, the ability to select the fonts used so that visual consistency with other addons can be achieved. 2 Separate the target and player buff options so that they can be enabled / disabled individually. 3 I find it somewhat annoying that /realoadui is 'automatic' even for features that don't state it. Please make it possible to manually reload the ui. This would be very handy when making several changes. 4 An option to alter the opacity / transparency of each element please. 5 I've not experienced it yet but the person who introduced this addon to me mentioned that each update wipes all your preferences! If so this needs to be addressed. Edit: I've decided to unistall this addon, as I've found another that provides similar functionality yet addresses all of the above mentioned points except one even though it is still in 'beta'. The beta addon does not provide buff / debuff information however. I have found another addon that does provide buff / debuff information and ticks all of the above boxes. Furthermore, the manner in which the buffs are displayed are visually consistent with the look and feel of the original UI. Something FTC does not do. Last edited by Grymdael : 02/09/15 at 05:02 AM.

However, there is problem with duration of bow DoT Volley (morphed into Arrow Barrage or Scroched Earth). Esohead and this FTC tell it has 3 seconds duration, but in fact, it has 5 seconds duration in game (both written in tooltip and counted when used). I tested it with Arrow Barrage only. Ruiner

These bars look smaller and I prefer them over the new ones without the border. I remember using FTC months ago and back then I had these "smaller" bordered bars so I suppose if I could get it back using an older version? But before doing so I wanted to ask if that would work for me. Thanks in advance edit: nevermind, I've used one of the oldest version and it's ok now. Last edited by Eres : 01/21/15 at 07:00 PM.

It's not there.

If there is no menu, it is probably corrupted. Try to uninstall FTC and install it again.
If it doesn't help, try to ask Atropos himself. He is not checking ESOUI every day, but you can definitely find him on Tamriel Foundry (FTC, bugs&feedback).

I am having the same problem sadly. I can see foundry tactical combat in addons and I have it checked (i also have allow out of date add-ons checked) but when I go to settings there is no FTC option (ot Addons Settings for that matter) thank you to anyone that can help.

Edit: (have also deleted and redownloaded it multiple times with no luck)
