AWEEESSOMMMEMEEEEEE

Thank you SO much for this mod

[AlcaponeYou]

Can you have more than one mods at a time? I tried putting two files in the game folder but only one works.

[Warchamp7]

How well does this function with buffs/debuffs that have charges over the icon?

[Vadi]

See the Caveat Emptor. We haven't yet figured out an easy way to allow that to happen - besides coding a program that'll manage this. Which we'll probably start on soon.

[Vadi]

How well does this function with buffs/debuffs that have charges over the icon?

I haven't tested that yet. As far as I remember, charges don't have timers on them - but if that's the case, the timer will overwrite the charges (and I'll fix that so they're okay together).

[Revolution3]

it depends, if both mods modify the same file then only 1 will work, though you can combine them yourself if you can figure out which code is doing what

which 2 mods are you using?

I'm using the 12 and 9 mod.
The buff countdown and the top/mid/bot mia mod.

[RentAKnight]

debuffs have a green border top left not red like it should. Dunno if you can change that.

[Shazam1]

well as you can see those both modify the game.interface file, so you're best bet is to look at the original game.interface, and find what they changed and combine them yourself so you can use both mods

How would I combine them? Go into winrar and copy and paste them both in?

[Warchamp7]

No, you'll have to manually look at whats different in both and merge them into a single file in a text editor

vadi you are the ui master

[RenoFox]

Thanks for the great mods, keep up the good work!

[MaxGhost]

Problem. I don't think it works on widescreens. It causes some pretty major overlapping at the bottom. I doublechecked my changes in the combination mod and everything you changed is the same. You can check my combination mod thread, someone posted a screeny which shows it.

[SESnut]

now that i think about it, that means the game is vert - which is a shitty implementation of widescreen :<
should be hor +

[DtMage]

Man... This is WICKED! Keep up good work!

Could we have a version from this where icons would be normal sized? Looks kind of silly to have manaregen-aura etc. with so big icon.

[RentAKnight]

heres one, there seems to be some overlapping problems

http://img40.imagefra.me/img/img40/2/8/17/sesnut/f_12c33ivd2m_0417eb4.jpg (http://imagefra.me/)


any update for this unwanted side effect? Look at the shop buff getting covered by Magebane at the bottom. Only in widescreen? I am using the combo mod.

[SESnut]

its the games fault, it punishes widescreen users by being vert -
so it basically moves the hud up

[MaxGhost]

Please oh please almighty Vadi, fix this!

Works great, although the numbers can be a little hard to read sometimes. Maybe if they were in blue like the item's timers? Although maybe those only look good because they're on a black&white background...

Anyway, thanks! :D

[Vadi]

Yes, when they release the linux client update (I can't update it otherwise)

[Osiris]

Yes, when they release the linux client update (I can't update it otherwise)

I can send you the 0.14 game.interface-file, if you want.

[Tyrant`1]

Is it just me, or does this mod cause my inventory to screw up? Like the top row becomes useless, and all items go to the second row instead, then the next three items are invisible in my inventory, but they work when I use the hotkeys alt+asd

[arnold_swe]

i get the inventory fail 2 :/

[Vadi]

Yes, because it hasn't been updated to the latest patch. As soon as the linux update is out, I'll be able to update it (or someone PMs me an unmodified game.interface)

This new version is not working for me ever since 1.40 came out. The only other mod I'm using is 015, the one that tells you the stats in the game lobby and I don't believe that uses game.interface and shouldn't cause problems. Any ideas why that is? Also why is the file named game.interface? I thought it was resources012.s2z last time?

[AeFeSS]

Not works on me. I did all how written in instrucktion. Buff-debuff buttons remain unchanged.

Does this work now with 0.1.41?

i think it has something to do with using this with mod 013? the target UI mod.

will test without mod 013

Of course it has something to do with it. You have to combine mods, otherwise they override each other since they all use the game.interface file:

I'm using the mod in .41 and my inv is still working. So I don't think it needs any updatement.

[NiGHTsC]

Vadi is right, I just remove all mods and the 3 inv tooltips just shows up.

It seems there's some missing codes in most of mods's "game.interface".

Here is the missing codes, I have no idea how could this effect your mods, but it does works for me

<instance name="ability_tooltip" id="ability_tooltip32" slot="32" help="true" />

Look for this line in the game.interface file of the mod:


font="dyn_14"

Change the number to 16 or 22 and test it to see how big the number gets. I haven't confirmed this, but it's what I think determines the number size of the buff indicator.

Sadly nope.
Changed all "dyn_14" to "dyn_22" or "22" and nothing change.

[Jagobah]

I looked through the code real quick to see what it was that put the number on the buff. Here's what I've found so far:


Under the following:

<template name="state_icon">

Look for this line:

ontrigger1="SetText(FtoT(param, 0, 0, '-') # 's'); SetVisible(param gt 0);"


And the repeat for the one under:

<template name="hero_state_icon">


Unfortunately, I don't know what number in there can determine font size. If Vadi or another experienced modder can chime in on that, you can get your answer.

[NiGHTsC]

Yah, so wondering how to change it too lol...

still, Thanx alot!

[MaxGhost]

A few lines above the code you showed, there's font="dyn_14". just make the number bigger, and tada, bigger font size. If you don't like it in white, you can change the color. color format is either a color word or in color="R G B A" format.

[OnlY`]

Really n1

I just checked once again and noticed that the number couldn't be bigger than the icon
cause it will then resize to minimum size and that's why I couldn't change it before.

I just adjust them 2 size bigger, 14->16, 16->18, and it does work :D

There you go

Around lines 1800 (I think) you have to make another change.

Search for '-16h' and change it to '-14h'.

After using BardUI for a bit I'm now trying TinyUI so I've added these back in...seems like they could use an update. Definitely harder to read than what's in BardUI. Any chance of an upgrade?

[MaxGhost]

Can you be more specific? What would you want improved?

[HeavySoul]

If I were to write a wishlist...

In order of usefulness:
1- Movable/positionable anywhere on the screen. (To allow for the best match with different UIs.)
2- Choice of #s in front of or above icon.
3- Adjustable font size.
4- Size slider/value.
5- Opacity slider/value.
6- Orientation toggle. (vertical, horizontal, rotate, etc.)

Thanks for the interest!

[Eccentrikit]

Bard's UI covers half of those already? =P

[MaxGhost]

I doubt this mod will go any further than that, especially because Bard's UI does most of those things already. There's no real point to add to this.

[HeavySoul]

Ok if you're using BardUI, but what about using it with other UIs? For example, aren't BardUI and TinyUI incompatible?

If not, and they work well together, then great. I am not looking to create extra work for people - just offer suggestions on how things can work better.

[MaxGhost]

They're compatible if you use .honmods

[HeavySoul]

Yes they are. That's awesome. The whole .honmod thing is really quite well done.

That's because the .s2z version isn't supported anymore. Check out .honmods

This addon is awesome.
But I don't use it because it somehow replace my tooltip to be shown in the lower right corner which gives me a hard time to grab stuff from the stash. Is there a way to fix this or is it possible to make the tooltips "clickthroughable"?

Sorry if theres any flaws in my english, i'm from sweden :)

Use the Mod Manager.

is the link down ?

Link seems to work fine for me now, but mediafire was having issue beforehand at least. Use the honmod link from the Honmod repository. If you don't have the Modman yet, why not? :)

Your download link is broken. :(

You can make this mod easily to work with newest patches. Open up resources0.s2z file which can be found from Heroes of Newerth\game\ directory. This file opens up fine with WinZip. Inside you fill find game.interface file, copy that to your desktop(example).

Open up game.interface with Notepad. Inside are <template name="state_icon"> and <template name="hero_state_icon"> which can be easily found with search.

Under them you can find <label section, here is example how I have modified "state_icon" template's label:


<label
font="dyn_16"
textalign="center"
textvalign="center"
color="white"
shadow="true"
watch="ActiveInventoryCharges{slot}"
ontrigger="SetVisible(param gt 0); SetText(param);"
watch1="ActiveInventoryDuration{slot}"
ontrigger1="SetText(FtoT(param, 0, 0, '-')); SetVisible(param gt 0);"
/>What I have done is I've added those last two lines. They add cooldown as a number inside buff/debuff. I've also changed fontsize from 14 to 16 to help noticing numbers more easily.

Do this same trick to label under "hero_state_icon" if you want numbers to buffs/debuffs which are under heroportrait at upperleft corner. (Here keep font at 10 so numbers fit inside)

This original Vadi's mod added timer to buffs/debuffs like "5s", I've left that "s" off so there will be only numbers visible. Original also changed size of buffs/debuffs icons to larger but I personally prefer use original sized icons.

After these changes save game.interface that is @ your desktop. Then put this modified game.interface inside Heroes of Newerth\game\ui\ directory and it works like a charm.

This is easy and fast way to create a useful mod to yourself and you don't have to wait for new version of this after every patch this mod goes broke. Example after last patch older version worked fine otherwise but it broke "Z" texthistory and it did not open. So i copied new patched original game.interface and added these few lines to it and everything worked like it should be again.

does it enlarges the buff/debuff of other targets? the one on the rightbottom corner

Nope. Why don't you try it out next time before asking?

[tokesh]

doesnt seem to work with channeling bar

[lofi01]

screen shot is gone, could someone please fix

[MaxGhost]

screen shot is gone, could someone please fix

No because it's not being updated by the author. MiniUI, BardUI, BarterUI all have that function if you really want it. There's also a .honmod version that works in the honmod repository.

[dotader]

is there a .honmod file of this? how do you work the .s2z files?

Please take a look at the stickies.

[Budist]

no screenshots :(

[MaxGhost]

That's probably because this mod is so old, the picture expired. AsiaPingPong made an improved version of this, and many other mods do the same thing, including MiniUI.

[Lim_Dul]

One upside of this MOD is that it improves the icons shown next to your hero portrait shown in the default unitframes (top left). Hence I'm still using it although going through various other buff indicator mods (BarterUI, Bard's UI and now settling for Asiapingpong's excellent mod).

[Over8000]

wtb update

[Duomaxwe]

Yeah, is this getting updated?

[FunkstaG]

Can someone please update this.. I've used this mod for ages!

[Lim_Dul]

Just open mod.xml inside the .honmod (which you can open with any file compressor) and change the -0.2.* to -0.3.*

[Zekers]

Updated to 3.0: http://www.mediafire.com/?wzyoin1yqgz

im too lazy to do it myself :(

[FunkstaG]

Thank you thank you thank you!@@!!@

[keot]

thanks alot

[Occ1]

Thanks for the update, mate.

[Snake_Eyes]

im running the Dota item names mod and brighter cursor mods....will I be able to use this mod without combining those?

[MaxGhost]

Yes, but no. .s2z mods are not very reliable. Use the mod manager instead.

[JonJinBae]

i have a mac so i dont have honmanager. so can someone make a s2z version of this for .3? :]

[Snake_Eyes]

so hon mod manager avoids conflicts??

[Jager]

In most cases. s2z files are archives(zips) which contain files to replace the standard files. The Hon Mod Manager uses honmods to combine any changes into the same file(this is the one called resources999.s2z in your Heroes of Newerth/game folder) so they can both be in the same s2z archive.

In some cases honmods will still overlap if they use the same portion of the UI or screen space to add a new element(or more) though. In which case they need to be written to be compatible by the author if possible, or you might just have to choose one or the other.

In addition to the extra compatability honmods give over plain s2z files, the Mod Manager can automatically reapply(update the resources999.s2z file it makes) for each new patch. This means as long as the small area of code the mod is editing hasn't between changed, it will be able to be used without causing problems.

[SnowToad]

Please make HonMod version so it works with other mods!!

[Snake_Eyes]

there is a honmod version....
check Zekers post (about 11 posts up)

[Murke]

the link dosent work, pls fix it

[GangGrene]

Hey guys, this might be a dumb question, but when I click on the link to download the file it just takes me to a white page full of code. No actual file. Do I need to copy and paste and make a new file or what? There's no download happening for me. I'm running Vista. Thanks.

[Snake_Eyes]

mine seems fine...

for the .honmod
Click on the link on Zekers post (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showpost.php?p=1272256&postcount=170) and it takes you to a mediafire page
then u click on "click here to download your file"

and then you save it where u want (to your desktop, temp download directory or HON directory)

If you want the .s2z on the first post (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showpost.php?p=147060&postcount=1)...just rightclick it and "save file as"

Vadi - could you please update your first post and add a link for the .honmod file...

[AcMilan911]

This should work for 1.0, enjoy.

[Dotatod]

implement already s2. vadi deserves the credit imo. your skill cool downs used to work this way, and you realized how terrible it was and updated to something more modern. buff/debuff timers are just as important.

Jager - that link doesn't work. Anyway to upload it somewhere else?

[Jager]

Allow javascript for it to work. As you can see it was working fine for the poster above you, one hour before you posted. If mediafire went down, well it's up for me right now.

[Z3ROCOOL22]

This still working with the last Version of HON (1.0.6.1)? Why make the steps in the instructions but the time for buffs/debuffs not show in game. thx.

[MaxGhost]

Nice necro. There are other superior mods now. This is outdated/pointless.

Thx for respond but maybe you can give me a link with this "superior mods" you say? :rolleyes:

PD: Ireally don't like put too much MOD's but i think can see the remaining time of debuffs/Buffs without need to put the mouse on this is very good.

Hey this mod isn't pointless, I'm still using it. :D

Z3ROCOOL I posted a link in post 189(10 posts up) to a working version. It just had to have the version check altered, so I changed that.

[HeavySoul]

I agree with MG. AsiaPingPong's Enhanced buff indicators is a big improvement. Try it out if you haven't.

[Snake_Eyes]

has this been implemented in the new patch??

[DtMage]

Enhanced buff icons got implemented, its basically same as this. No need for this mod anymore.

[Snake_Eyes]

good stuff!!

now...if only they would implement the VOIP slider...whos knecaps must i break to get that done?
