Combat Reticle Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.1.1

by: Aetheron, calia1120

WHAT's NEW:

Version 2.0 adds two new reticle modes and reticle theme modules. The previous "combat mode" reticle has been split into three distinct sub-modes: 1) in combat with no target under reticle, 2) in combat with hostile target under reticle, and 3) in-combat with friendly target under reticle. You can configure the reticle to highlight enemies one way and friendly units another while in combat.

Reticle theme modules are something that have been in the works for a long time now. Basically it means that other add-on developers can create custom reticle themes (colors, modes, and even icons) and publish them separately from Combat Retilce. When installed, these theme modules are detected by Combat Reticle and are mad available in the theme selection menu. I plan on creating documentation on how this is done soon, and I will release an example custom theme module at the same time.

Important Because of how reticle themes are now handled, it was necessary to break compatibility with previous combat reticle settings. This means your old settings won't work with the new version. In fact, I recommend that you remove the old settings by deleting the "CombatReticle.lua" file from the "Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/SavedVariables" directory in your home directory (Windows) before installing the new version.

WHAT IT IS:
Combat Reticle is a graphical add-on that greatly enhances visibility and utility of the on-screen reticle for targeting and interacting with items, NPCs, and other players in the game world. The primary goal is to make the reticle more visible during combat to improve targeting accuracy. This is accomplished by allowing the user to customize the reticle image, color, opacity, scale, rotation, and animation mode. A customized reticle can either use a single image or include an addition overlay image with it's own independent visual settings. Considering the large number of included reticle images (73 and counting), and the fact that there are nine distinct reticle modes that can be used and configured, the result is a nearly infinite number of reticle configuration possibilities! (for the math geeks, it's over 1e300 combinations!)

Combat Reticle does not acquire or display any target data. This is partly due to performance considerations in large PvP battles, and partly due to a preference for a minimal UI. If you would like to have target data, it's possible that Combat Reticle could coexist with another reticle add-on. Compatibility with Rainbow Reticle is confirmed. I have not tested with others, though I plan to. If you use other target information reticle addons, though please report any issues you encounter to help improve this. Thanks! - Calia

RETICLE MODES
Combat Reticle supports nine specific reticle modes. Each mode can be customized, disabled, or set to game default (i.e. show standard ESO reticle). Stealth modes utilize the default ESO "stealth eye" as the base reticle, but an overlay image can be used with full customization options. The reticle modes are:

Interactive - An interactable item or friendly NPC/player character is targeted.
Target Hostile - An enemy (hostile) mob, NPC, or player character is targeted and range is close enough to activate skill bar. Like the skill bar, this does not always mean that the target is close enough to attack.
Target Neutral - An attackable neutral mob is targeted and range is similar to "target hostile" mode (skill bar is not shown until unit is attacked).
Combat - Player is engaged in combat.
Combat (hostile target) - Player is engaged in combat, reticle is over a hostile.
Combat (friendly target) - Player is engaged in combat, reticle is over a friendly.
Normal - Default reticle mode (i.e. none of the above modes and not stealthed or disguised).
Stealth Interactive - Player is hidden and an item or friendly NPC/player character is targeted and can be interacted with.
Stealth Target Hostile - Player is hidden and an enemy (hostile) mob, NPC, or player character is targeted.
Stealth Target Neutral - Player is hidden and an attackable neutral mob is targeted.
Stealth Combat - Player is hidden and engaged in combat.
Stealth Normal - Player is hidden and no other reticle modes apply.

DETAILED DOCUMENTATION
Please refer to the "readme.rtf" file located in the "docs" folder of the add-on for complete, detailed information on how to use and configure Combat Reticle.

Btw, current version of Combat Reticle works with latest patch - just enable old add-ons and select it. The patch I'm working on is adding a new feature.

I can't seem to reproduce this error - which dungeon are you talking about? Does the stealth eye remain indefinitely, or does it time-out eventually? My add-on expects an "enter/exit stealth" event to trigger properly, so I wonder if this is an API change. Does stealth work properly without Combat Reticle enabled?

Keron Forum posts: 4 File comments: 12 Uploads: 0	Aetheron, are you still working on this addon? Something in the API seems to have changed (I even remember reading something unit class related in the patch notes), if I have it active I can't get the game to start (can't load a character). There are no error messages that I could post, game just doesn't load. I came to enjoy your addon so much, and there is no alternative available.

Thanks for the heads up - I've been running it myself and have yet to hit a snag. Do you have a line number by chance? Better yet, screen clip of the error would be awesome.

There's no function by that name anywhere in the addon - can you try reinstalling the addon and clearing your saved variables? Were you running a customized version of it at any point?

Hey, I'm back! (at least for a while). I saw this error myself and I think it's caused by what's called a "race condition" in the initialization of my mod. It only happened once, but that's how these things are - difficult to debug. I'll take a look and see if I can root out the problem.

Werewolf Finds Dragon Forum posts: 17 File comments: 105 Uploads: 15	Got back recently after a long time not playing ESO. I spotted this error, too. And I have a theory that seems to have stopped the errors, at least for now. In the first line of your OnUpdate, you have: Code: if ( g_render_reticle ) then This OnUpdate seems like it might be firing before owned_icon possibly fully, properly exists. That could be causing a weird issue. And it was the only thing I was suspicious about. So I did this: Code: if ( g_render_reticle ) and ( owned_icon ) then And it doesn't look like the error has popped up since. I could be completely off base, mind you. Just figured I'd mention it.

Aetheron Forum posts: 32 File comments: 81 Uploads: 1	Load error fixed in 1.5.2 The issue was apparently being caused by a race condition induced by having the CombatReticl.xml file list ahead of the LUA scripts. I guess the game engine would try to activate the add-on before all the scripts were loaded. Seems a bit silly that the engine would prioritize XML files over scripts... Anyway, I've been running for over a week with the fix and have not seen the error, so I believe this was the problem. Big thanks to Baertram and votan for identifying the root cause!
