Hi all,


Just a quick note to say yes, this addon is still being maintained and yes I have been reading your comments.


I can say that the last couple of years has been 'interesting'. I haven't had much time to play ESO because real life has been kicking my butt. With that said, I have been looking into some of the requests, and what will and will not work within the animation framework I'm using.


Hopefully, things will settle down soon. :-)

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get the notification to be visible. Like, I can access the settings menu, set the color and adjust the height, etc. But when I swap bars, nothing shows...

Could you add another choice(s) in the Animation drop down?

"Always On" option would be awesome.
Or maybe "Fade out of combat" for an option.
Or both even.

I need a visual reminder that is always up during combat.
Not so much out of combat.
When there is a lot of activity going on I often lose track of which bar I am on.
This addon is awesome for letting me know when I swap.
Unfortunately I often forget what I switched to.
Which can get me into a bar swap perfect storm.

Thanks for this addon.
Hopefully its easy to add these things if you want to add stuff.
And thanks for whatever you choose to do.

Yup, I would like to make the bar swap alert a bit smaller, 1% was just an example Perhaps it will be easier to show what I'm talking about

Now it looks like that (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...72/unknown.png) and I would like to make an indicator be like that (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...04/unknown.png)

I reinstalled the addon, and now I see large numbers in the centre of the screen for a short time during weapon swap. This is fine so I am ok.

I guess for some strange reason I changed the defaults and this central screen display was disabled.

All fine now for me, thanks for the reply though

As far as I know, should work fine in any fight, boss or otherwise. The addon simply responds to a signal from the game itself. One of my main testers streams the game and runs hard-mode trials every Thursday night, they haven't informed me of any issues, and I haven't seen any while watching.


Not even sure why the indicator would be stuck on since there is a timer to hide it — it is not intended to be on permanently, but to be a confirmation of when the bar is swapped.


While I plan to introduce an option for a permanent display, it's not implemented yet — my computer was down for about eight months with a very hard to trace issue causing it to hang up randomly and stop responding to input, while the applications continued to run.

I will find out how the .dds files are made, and try it myself.
In the options panel there are options for left/right arrows, up/down arrows, one/two bars, circles and triangles. Each bar can be set to a different colour as well.

I have a few toons that are specialty toons (thief/combat and hunter/gatherer) that could benefit greatly from an unobtrusive option such as this.

Thanks for your consideration.
Thank you for the feedback, sadly, PC is still acting up -- although I think I've narrowed it down to an interaction between the motherboard (Asus ROG X570 Gaming-E), the NVMe SSD (Samsung 970 EVO) and Windows versions later than 19.09. Need to find some money. I think it's replace hardware time. :-]

As to the addon auto-switching the bar, and I might be wrong, but I don't believe addons are allowed to do that -- would come under the heading of 'automating game play'. Addons aren't supposed to do anything that interferes with or automates combat in anyway -- example: blocking you from casting a spell or casting a spell for you.

However, maybe the planned continuous bar number display might help you -- a numeral or symbol displayed next to the reticle is my current thinking. Been thinking out ideas, just can't code them at the moment.
Hmmmm, I think this would not necessarily qualify as automated combat as it does nothing to automatically attack or defend. There are other add-ons which do similar. One that comes to mind is 'AutoSlotSwitch' which switches out your rotary menu to a specific potion or other item when you enter combat and swaps it back when you leave. Perhaps you could have a look and maybe even contact that author to get his input? I really think this would be a valuable option to an already great addon!

Thanks!
Oh, thank you for the info on AutoSlotSwitch, that might actually be useful ... the number of times I've summoned an anniversary cake (for example) when trying to drink a potion in comb ... yer, don't want to admit to that. ;-)

Will take a look at this once I get back in game.
