Lights of Meridia Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 25

by: Cardinal05, Architectura

Improve your group's ability to work together as a team in Battlegrounds, Cyrodiil and World zones.
* Note that the Light cannot be seen in Dungeons or Trials - a restriction imposed by the game itself.

The divine Light of Meridia shines down upon each group member - so brilliantly that it can be seen from vast distances with ease.

Using different colors - all of which you may configure - the Light of Meridia can identify the following:

Tanks, Healers and the Group Leader
Fallen group members
Fallen group members already being/having been resurrected

Different colors may also be configured for groups in:

Battlegrounds
Cyrodiil
World

PLEASE NOTE:
This add-on requires that you have configured the following setting:

Video > SubSampling Quality

HIGH

Any other value for this setting will result in inaccurate visual effects.

2023-03-11 - Version 25

Updated API version.

2021-05-02 - Version 24

Fixed an issue that could cause a member of your group to never be blessed with Meridia's Light.

2021-05-01 - Version 22

Fixed a warning message that appeared as a result of improper initialization of the LibAddonMenu library.
Updated the beam visuals to be more natural.

2021-03-07 - Version 21

Updated API version.

2020-11-15 - Version 20

Fixed an issue that could cause Meridia's Light to shine somewhere off in the distance rather than on your blessed group members while in Imperial City or Blackreach. Worship of Meridia, once fallen out of favor in these regions, has seen an uptick; this may or may not be a coincidence.

2020-03-01 - Version 18

Updated for API version 30.

2019-10-22 - Version 17

Updated for API version 29.

2019-08-16 - Version 16

Added the ability to assign a new, customizable color light - one that shines a
bit brighter than the rest - to individual group members. To do so, target the
group member, open the Interact With Player radial menu and Invoke Meridia's
Blessing upon them.

Fixed an issue that could cause the Light to appear on a group member that was
in a different instance of the same zone.

Fixed a long-standing issue that caused the Light to flicker or briefly appear
and disappear while transitioning between zone subregions.

2019-08-13 - Version 14, 15

Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause Battleground and Cyrodiil teammates'
Lights to fail to display.

Updated the visuals of the Lights to be more visible at lower brightness.

2019-08-12 - Version 13

Support for Scalebreaker API version.

2019-06-15 - Version 12

Adjusted the auto-assignment of unconfigured keybind controls to allow other
addons, such as Votan's Keybinder, to set up your keybinds first.

Revised the visuals of the Light beams.

2019-05-19 - Version 11

Support for Elsweyr API version.

2019-04-30 - Version 10

Added a new Setting:
"Obstacle Penetrating Light"
Enable this Setting to allow Meridia's Light to penetrate all obstacles, such as walls,
trees and terrain.

Added a new Controls keybind:
"Toggle Obstacle Penetration"
Pressing this key (ALT + P by default) will toggle obstacle penetration ON or OFF.

2019-04-13 - Version 9

Adjusted the brightness, height and visuals of Meridia's Light.

Added a new Setting:
"Only cast Meridia's Light during battles"
Enable this Setting to only display Meridia's Light while in combat.

2019-04-12 - Version 8

Fixed a separate LUA error that could occur upon initial login for some configurations.

2019-04-11 - Version 6, 7

Added a new option to the Settings panel to enable or disable the
Light for all non-Leader/Tank/Healer group members.

Developed a workaround for the issue that caused the Lights to sometimes
linger or fail to change color appropriately.

Fixed an issue that caused the Lights to fail to appear in dungeon
instances within Cyrodiil.

Fixed an issue that caused a LUA error to appear upon logging in for the first time.

2019-04-07 - Version 5

Revised the Light assignment logic to provide more consistent correlation
between the visual effect and the associated player.

2019-04-06 - Version 4

Addressed a second underlying cause of the Lights sometimes shifting away
from players' actual positions in response to a change in cell location.
More fixes to come should the issue persist.

2019-04-06 - Version 3

Extended the skyward reach of Meridia's Lights to be roughly twice as high.

Addressed at least one underlying cause of the Lights sometimes shifting away
from players' actual positions in response to a change in cell location.
More fixes to come should the issue persist -- I'm in the process of testing. <3

Changed the default setting to "OFF" for:
Light of Healers
Light of Tanks
This change will not impact anyone who has explicitly changed this setting at least once.

2019-04-05 - Version 2

Fixed an issue that caused the "Defaults" button on the Settings screen
to reset the Light Brightness and Magnitude to nearly invisible values.

2019-04-03 - Version 1

Initial release.

Actually, I hadn't added a feature like what you are describing ... yet. Though, that does sound like a good one to add for the next release. I'll add that to my plan for this add-on. Thanks for the suggestion! <3

Just wanted to follow up with you as well on this topic. The latest release adds a new feature that allows you to bless one or more group members with a special (configurable) Light beam. It shines a bit brighter than all of the others as well.

To use this, target the player and open the Interact With Player menu as you normally would to Group Invite or Add Friend them. Then, choose "Invoke Meridia's Blessing" from the radial menu to assign the custom light beam to them. You can repeat this process for each significant group member that you want to keep track of. To remove the light from someone, repeat the process - the second use will dispel the light from them.

I hope this fits your use case. :-)

Really weird.

I meant to follow up with you but ended up losing track -- if you are still experiencing this issue after the last series of updates, please give me a shout. :-)

Thanks!

I'll check it out and see what's going on... <3

Invaluable. I've been strongly recommending this addon to my Cyro guild for following Crown and getting our downs back up.

Quick comment though, I saw in Changelog that it was a BG issue that was fixed, but I'd noticed that the light beam was being problematic out in Cyro tonight, too, so hopefully 14 will fix that, as well? Same issue that was described.

Yikes! I was not actually aware of that -- that may be the same problem. Unfortunately, the workaround that I implemented was focused on Battleground zone instances only. I will publish a new release shortly that should address the issue globally. Thank you so much for letting me know about this! <3

Thank you so much for letting me know! I've found the issue and just uploaded a fix for it (Release 14). Once that is approved, grab that and it should fix the problem for you. <3

Awesome, thank you!

I was heartbroken when I found out about this. Do you know if there could be some sort of workarounds?

I know nothing about addon coding. Do you know if it is possible to code an addon that would allow you to change the colour of the over-the-head health bar (not the group frame health bar, mind you) by role? There are tons of addons for changing health bar colour by role in the group frame, but Lights of Meridia is the ONLY addon I know that allows you to highlight the actual players!

You and me both. I had actually written this add-on for PVP and PVE originally, so you can image how I felt when I went to Wayrest Sewer to test it with a friend only to find that 3D UI elements are blocked from Dungeon and Trial zone instances. :-(

Could it be worked around? Err - I'll just put it this way: Since ZeniMax feels that an add-on with utility similar to that of Light of Meridia might trivialize aspects of PVE, it would probably be in everyone's best interest that we do not try to work around that policy. ;-)

I do hope that you find this add-on useful for PVP though. I have found it to be a game changer for Battlegrounds and Cyrodiil (but maybe I am biased) ;-)

I have only one problem with Lights of Meridia:
Every time I reload UI the keybindings for the plugin are changed back to alt-L and alt+P, no matter how many times i change them in controls panel.

It would bo so great if you could look into it

Hi! Thank you for letting me know! I delayed the keybind autoconfiguration for any controls that are not configured to allow other addons, such as Votan's Keybinder, to automatically remap those controls first upon login. This should resolve the issue in those circumstances. Hope it helps! <3

Ah, yes, it did the trick! Thank you so much!
