Harven's Subtitles Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.0

by: Harven, votan

Dependencies

LibHarvensAddonSettings

Description
This addon shows subtitles for NPCs conversations. Subtitles are drawn on a dark background so are easy to read. By default they appear at lower right part of the screen where they don't cover up other UI elements. Display time is variable and depends on a message's length. The addon can display multiple messages as shown on the screenshot because sometimes NPCs are talking in parallel. The subtitles disappear gently after calculated time.

Controls (when in-game cursor is enabled [default key "."] and the cursor is over subtitles):
- left mouse button - hold to move subtitles around,
- right mouse buttom - click to display context menu (enable/disable NPCs names and ignore NPCs),
- mouse wheel - scroll to change background transparency,
- shift+mouse wheel - scroll to change subtitles scale.

To remove NPC from ignore list type this command in chat window:
/subtitlesunignore NPC's name
example:
/subtitlesunignore ferdyn beran

!!WARNING!!
Enabled NPCs names could reveal some secrets during some quests so I recommend to leave them disabled.

Donations
If you like my work you can make me happy by sending some in-game gold/items to @theharven on EU server (but please, no lockpicks

), eventually you can help me pay my monthly subscription by donating some money.

[Edit 09.31.2015]
Since monthly subscription is no longer required to play the game I decided to transfer all future dontations to charity. There is a polish site where you can chose a person you would like to support (mostly children) https://www.siepomaga.pl/. I will be anonymously transfering your donations there, to a person of my choosing and then I will post a link in The Great Donor Hall so you will know who gets your money

I would love to help this people so I hope this doesn't discourages you from donating.

Edit for Account-Wide Settings

Originally Posted by DreamsUnderStars

I would also prefer an account-wide setting to use.

Until Harven gives us the option, you can implement it yourself.
I recommend manually deleting the saved variables named HarvensSubtitleAddon.lua [with the game closed!] or you can just uninstall the addon and its saved variables [with the game closed!] via Minion.

For example, my saved variables are found in this folder: C:\Users\Amber\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables

Then log back into your main character, change this addon's settings to your liking, and then log back out and exit the game. This will create a new saved variable file for this addon.

This is my saved variables before any edits.

Code:

HarvensSubtitleAddon_SavedVariables =
{
    ["Default"] = 
    {
        ["@Amber322"] = 
        {
            ["Buffy The Chosen One"] = 
            {
                ["scale"] = 0.7000000000,
                ["width"] = 602,
                ["ignored"] = 
                {
                },
                ["version"] = 1,
                ["relPoint"] = 9,
                ["y"] = 289.6000061035,
                ["x"] = -575,
                ["showNames"] = false,
                ["bgalpha"] = 0.8000000000,
                ["point"] = 9,
            },
        },
    },
}

What needs to be edited is where it has my character's name. "Buffy The Chosen One".
It needs to be changed to "$AccountWide".

Code:

HarvensSubtitleAddon_SavedVariables =
{
    ["Default"] = 
    {
        ["@Amber322"] = 
        {
            ["$AccountWide"] = 
            {
                ["scale"] = 0.7000000000,
                ["width"] = 602,
                ["ignored"] = 
                {
                },
                ["version"] = 1,
                ["relPoint"] = 9,
                ["y"] = 289.6000061035,
                ["x"] = -575,
                ["showNames"] = false,
                ["bgalpha"] = 0.8000000000,
                ["point"] = 9,
            },
        },
    },
}

Then, go into HarvensSubtitleAddon addon folder and open the lua.
For example, mine is located in this folder:
C:\Users\Amber\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\HarvensSubtitleAddon

Search for: ZO_SavedVars:New.
If you use Notepad++, what you're looking for is on line 190.
Not only is this outdated and should be changed to "ZO_SavedVars:NewCharacterIdSettings", it's not going to allow us to have account-wide settings!
So change "ZO_SavedVars:New" to "ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide".

Now line 190 will now look like:

self.sv = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("HarvensSubtitleAddon_SavedVariables", 1, nil, defaults)

Now the addon will use the settings I set on my main for all of my characters on my account.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

P.S. I can't take credit for this. Baertram showed me how to do this for Loot Alert, and I just wanted to pass along the information. I've tested it with this addon, and the changes work as intended. Hooray for account-wide settings!!!

Octopuss Forum posts: 176 File comments: 816 Uploads: 0	When I open Azurah to move UI elements around, I can't find the window for this addon. Is that normal, or...? I am a little bit OCD and like to have certain things perfectly centered, and I can't do that when the preview 1) disappears after a few seconds, and 2) is obscured by the settings window. Do you think you could do something about that?

I'm getting this error message if I reload UI when NPC's are talking next to me:

Code:

2014-12-15T15:45:16.461+01:00 |cff0000Lua Error: user:/AddOns/HarvensSubtitleAddon/HarvensSubtitleAddon.lua:136: attempt to index a nil value
stack traceback:
	user:/AddOns/HarvensSubtitleAddon/HarvensSubtitleAddon.lua:136: in function 'Harven_SubtitleAddon:OnUpdateSubtitle'
	user:/AddOns/HarvensSubtitleAddon/HarvensSubtitleAddon.lua:185: in function 'Harven_SubtitleAddonOnUpdateSubtitle'|r

I guess it's because saved variables are not loaded yet.

Also it would be nice to have option to lock/unlock window position.
