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

FEATURES:

Eleven configurable reticle modes (including four stealth/disguised modes)
Customize reticle image, color, opacity, scale, rotation, and animation
Overlay mode for composite reticles
73 available reticle images to choose from
Rotation includes plain and pendulum modes
Animation can modulate opacity, saturation, or scale
Interaction mode can indicate empty/blocked items
A variety of pre-made themes for easy and fast configuration
Ten quick slots to store and retrieve configuration sets
Reticle brightness control (with hot-key mapping)

Anti-flicker reticle mode filter
High-performance implementation, CPU-intensive features can be disabled
Comprehensive configuration panel with "live" reticle preview

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.

Well, that was what I wanted the "hostile target" mode to be, but I couldn't find an API call to tell me when you were in range (ZO deprecated a couple of range functions). Plus, different skills and weapons have different ranges, so I wasn't sure how useful it would be. Anyway, if I discover a way to do this, I would likely add it as an option.

Good to hear, and thanks! Let me know if you have any questions (there are lots of config options!)

hope that makes sense

I'm not sure what you mean by "casting view" - it will change color (hostile/neutral) when the retllce is "on target" (but not necessarily in range). I'm not sure how far off you can be before you'll miss, given the "soft aim" feature of ESO. If you're referring to the target selector (brackets), then no, it doesn't respond to that (currently...)

Give it a try - if it doesn't work, maybe I can tweak it to work for you.

it happened 3 times - 1x when I did screenshot on the keyboard - 2x when zoning into a dungeon -- then I played for another hour and never saw it again.

It's strange -- the only before and after I can think of is it happened before I configured stealth options but never after .... that could be completely unrelated but that's all I can think of.

Ok the moment after i typed that I logged into a mule toon and got it. Same exact error line 181 - if I took a screenshot it would be the same as the previous one I posted.

Maybe it's related to when you first log in? That is also similar in each time it happened - either just start playing or just load a new zone. Just guessing.

-d

edit:updated saw it again

Hey Dopiate,
I'm pretty sure I found the issue. Download version 0.5.1 and see if that fixes it (0.5.1 may still be pending approval). The problem was with the anti-flicker filter triggering right after a load/re-configure causing an uninitialized reference to be accessed.

Thanks for reporting this!

I was just coming here to let you know how I fixed it.

I've done it with lots of add-ons now.

your detail is perfect for those that hopefully have a copy of their old SavedVariables folder.

Thanks for your help.

Could I maybe copy from my old to the one?

You're good then. Edit the old, pre-patch settings file (CombatRetcle.lua) in a text editor and insert your @account name in the second set of brackets from the top. It should end up looking like this, with myaccount being your ESO account name.

Code:

CombatReticle_Settings =
{
    ["Default"] = 
    {
        ["@myaccount"] = 
        {
            ["$AccountWide"] = 
            {

Then copy the modified file over the post-patch one in the "SavedSettings" folder. I'm pretty sure you can fix all your old settings this way.
