Drakos7 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) I submitted a HUD patch today to allow for a graphical indication of level progress in the side bar. http://developer.berlios.de/patch/index.ph...1&group_id=1256 It also will hide the analog clock if you select "digital clock". I probably should have made 2 separate patches... Please give me your thoughts/comments. Edited January 28, 2006 by Drakos7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted January 28, 2006 It looks very nice, but why does it need to hide the digital clock? It seems like there is more than adequate space below the quick bar to put it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drakos7 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 If you are running at 800x600 there is not enough room and it overlaps the OA statusbar. Like I said, I should have separated them into 2 patches... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted January 28, 2006 If you are running at 800x600 there is not enough room and it overlaps the OA statusbar. Like I said, I should have separated them into 2 patches... Maybe make the placement depend on resolution and whether or not the clock is enabled. Also, to me it looks crowded, so I'd never use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m_bee Report post Posted January 29, 2006 The patch applies ok and compilatoin is no problem. But I cant see the bars, though the spacing is ok and the clock is hidden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamincollins Report post Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) The patch applies ok and compilatoin is no problem. But I cant see the bars, though the spacing is ok and the clock is hidden. The patch adds a new configuration option "View Side Stats Bars" that needs to be enable to see the bars. Edited January 29, 2006 by jamincollins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m_bee Report post Posted January 29, 2006 Now I can start to feel dumb :lol: Thanks. However, I think I found a bug. When the bars are not activated, the items are missplaced. For example, if I click into crafting then OA is selected, and the same for the rest of the items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamincollins Report post Posted January 29, 2006 I really like the idea behind this patch, but a few suggestions. First, if the new option isn't selected, the skills should be displayed without any extra spacing (just as they were before). Also, as Learner already suggested, make the disabling of the analog clock resolution dependant or another option. Additionally, if the analog clock is disabled, change the font color of the digital clock to white and position it halfway between the skills and the compass.

m_bee Report post Posted January 29, 2006 I like this thing, it gives you a fast idea on how much do you need to advance in a skill without having to open the skills window. Now that you are on the work, would it be possible to add an option to show/hide the compass background (so only the indicator would be displayed). I say this because taking out the analogic clock really improves the look when using the transparent hud (when you press F6). If that was possible then I would look perfect.

jamincollins Report post Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) Found what appears to be a bug with the patch. All the skills but Alchemy appear to be updating just fine. However, the Alchemy bar does not appear to be moving at all. I just got an Alchemy level and the bar under it on the side still indicates I'm only about 20% through the level. This also appears to be the same as the bar for Harvest. Yep, checking the patch confirms it: + //ALCHEMY + if (++stat == watch_this_stat) + glColor3f(0.77f, 0.57f, 0.39f); + else + glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f); + snprintf(str,sizeof(str),"%-3s %3i",attributes.alchemy_skill.shortname,your_info.alchemy_skill.base); + draw_string_small(x, y, str, 1); + if (show_statsbars_in_hud) + { + y+=14; + baselev = your_info.harvesting_skill.base; + cur_exp = your_info.harvesting_exp; + len = 54-54.0f/(float)((float)(exp_lev[baselev+1]-exp_lev[baselev])/(float)(exp_lev[baselev+1]-cur_exp)); + draw_side_stats_bar(x,y,len,0.1f,0.4f,0.1f); + y+=4; + } + else + { + y+=18; + } Edited January 29, 2006 by jamincollins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drakos7 Report post Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) LOL! thanks jamin. I have fixed this bug 3 times now as I have switched computers so many times. And I keep restoring from an old copy of my source edits! Dumb copy paste... I will re-fix it and try to remove the clock aspect.

Entropy Report post Posted January 31, 2006 Will be nice to have it in the client, but AFTER the update. And only if when disabled it doesn't screw up things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drakos7 Report post Posted January 31, 2006 Well, I never like screwing things up! 0ctane is already getting requests to add this to the OSX port (which he refuses to do rightfully so). I will improve this in a couple iterations so that it conforms better to the overall hud design (separate the clock part,...) But thank you all for your feedback. I plan on submitting a better patch sometime today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drakos7 Report post Posted January 31, 2006 Ok, I made the clock patch now. http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22269 I will improve this patch today as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drakos7 Report post Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) OK, I have updated this patch. It makes the code a LOT cleaner, though it looks different now. I think I do like the smaller bars better, but I do not want to move the skill texts around. Here is a picture This way we do not have to mess with the clock at all. It just puts the bars into the background. Edited January 31, 2006 by Drakos7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vegar Report post Posted January 31, 2006 I have a question. Why do you assign the values to new variables before passing them? baselev = your_info.attack_skill.base; cur_exp = your_info.attack_exp; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
