Improved UI by Barter

[Barter]

This addon has been discontinued.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I'm back, sorry for not answering in a while, been busy and in vacation and don't have much time lately to mess with the mod, or the will for that matter :S

Well, for those reasons I won't be updating the mod anymore, if anyone wants to use any code from it in their addons, or even pick this one up and continue it, feel free to do so, if you have any questions about the code just ask me and I'll try to answer.

I'll make some simpler but usefull (I hope) addons in the future I guess, but nothing like this, not for now at least. I'm gonna update the first post with nextday's fixed version and the one that works with MiniUI. Anyway, thanks for using the addon, cya around :P


version working in 0.1.64 (thanks to nextday)

I fixed it, I think: http://bytes.dontexist.net/barterui.honmod

Try that.

version working with MiniUI (thanks to shadowexile)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Features
- Addon compatible
Modders can make addons for the mod. What are the advantages of doing this? As an addon you get a button inside the menu of the Improved UI, where you can put all the options for your mod/addon, instead of each addon having a button somewhere in the interface, while you have your code on your own package. The only difference between an addon and a standalone is the options inside the menu, any mod can be converted into an addon. A simple guide here (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showpost.php?p=518256&postcount=130).

- Death Timer
You can easily see when a hero is dead and how long until they respawn, you can also enable the mod to warn your team on chat when an enemy, ally or yourself has just respawned.

- Improved Minimap
A movable and scalable minimap that you can toggle to show/hide with a hotkey, you can also change it's opacity and make it clickable or not.

- Target UI
A frame that shows the HP/Mana of the target, you can move and scale it, toggle Buffs/Debuffs and Effective Health (both Physical and Magic).

- Info Panel
A small panel with a lot of information that you can toggle on/off individually, it shows the info of your Active Unit and your Target. Some of the info include Dps, both Armors %, both Effective Healths, HP and Mana regen/s, time till full HP/Mana in seconds, Movespeed and others.

- Team UI
A frame for each Allied Hero that you can move wherever you want, showing name, HP/Mana bars, Gold, Skills levels and cooldowns, with a couple of layouts you can chose from. Also you can chose to show bars below the Ally hero units' hp/mana bar, wich show the status of each of their skills.

- Movable Chat
The game chat is now movable so you can place all the rest of the panels where you want without getting in the way of your messages.

- Others
Some other minor options you can turn on like buff times above the buff icons.

- Very Customizable
You can toggle on/off all of the features so that you only use exactly what you want. Many of the frames are movable and scalable, and all of them have various options to customize them further, all of wich stay saved after you exit the game.

- Easy to use
Just install it, open the menu by clicking on the "blue +" on the top-left corner while in a game, configure it however you want and you are good to go.


Changelog:


v1.082
- fixed the voting setsave problem

v1.081
- fixed the hide death timers when voting option

v1.08
- you can now chose to show bars below the ally hero units' hp/mana bar,
wich show the status of their skills in the same colors as the team ui.
**on this release it only updates when the hp %, mana % and level of the
hero changes, so it will update fairly regularly, but there may be times
when it doesnt update for a while, like if the hero is full mana and hp, but
on a normal game it should not be a problem. I'll try to find a way to
update always**
- added an option to hide the respawn timer if there is a voting that you
can vote on going on
- maybe something else I missed, nothing major tough

v1.07
- added two new addons: levelup hotkeys and autocast hotkeys
- fixed the panel that holds the addons buttons to scale properly
- added more templates to the team ui
- added an option to warn the respawn for only yourself

v1.061

- fixed some minor bugs
- juking map addon got a new map (http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3131/caldavarjuking.png) that I made myself

v1.06
- added a confirmation to the reset settings
- added addon support with honmod, there's a link to an addon that shows
the juking map as an example, addons are honmod only, cant do without it,
any questions just ask

v1.05
- fixed buffs with no duration showing 0s sometimes
- you can now hide specific team frames
- added another layout option for the team ui

Addons

- Juking Map
It shows an image with the Caldavar map (http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3131/caldavarjuking.png) and most of the juking spots, the addon uses the same options as the minimap options, with a hotkey to toggle, options to enable, change scale and opacity. This is meant as an example for modders to make their own addons, but it is fully functional.

- Levelup Hotkeys
With this addon you can chose a hotkey to levelup any of your skills, including stats.

- Autocast Hotkeys
With this addon you can chose a hotkey to toggle the autocast of any skills.

nice!

[opcon]

Looks Good, Downloading Now. Also btw, you have forgotten to link to it in your sig. :p

[WLT]

i love that reminds me movable everything addon of many games just added it to my main updated combo keep it up with more options ^^

[Nebbs]

Awesome work, covered a lot of requested features!

[Barter]

Thanks, btw, some things only start getting updated after the game clock is past 0, aka game started, like moving frames, I'll do something about it later, for now its like that.

[Nebbs]

Is it just me or is the barter_ui.package file still the old one?

[Barter]

Is it just me or is the barter_ui.package file still the old one?
Well, its the same name :P

Btw, just uploaded a version fixing the minimap, effects were showing up even with it hidden.

[Nebbs]

Well I compared the two files I have and they are the same. I've installed the new version to my combination and its still giving me the older version.

[Edit] I've figured it out, turns out the game still loads game_spectator.interface even if your in a normal game.. my spec file had your old mod in it and it was overwriting my game.interface with your updated mod in it. Odd =/

[slime]

This is better than sliced bread. Awesome work Barter. :)

Looking good. Thanks!

[Bug] Hotkey for minimap doesn't work for me
(Fixed? Im an idiot)

I also have a suggestion could you move the target debuff/buffs from the bottom right to being anchored to the top of the target ui?

Like this =/ lol I'm so impatient some times, pm me if you want my changed .package

Very nice, what files is this editing so I know what other mods it will conflict with?
I'm currently using:
13, 15, 22, 24, 26, 37
and I'd assume only #13 is affected.

It uses game.interface so anything that uses that (13) will need to be combined.

[Jayblah]

Quick suggestions:

Please allow an even smaller scalesize on the Minimap. It's actually quite large even at 50%, when it's not tucked away into some corner!

Please consider adding a transparency option to the minimap as well.

Please consider adding movability, transparency, and scalability options for the handling of player buffs / debuffs and target buffs / debuffs.

Great addon. Thanks!

[Tenshuu]

so, I've had mixed results with settings being saved from your mod... my last 2 games it saved everything, so I'm not sure if it's just practice mode messing with it, or what. Maybe more testing is needed. Just hope you catch this before you go crazy trying to figure it out in the morning =P
My suggestion with your 2ndary placement of the Magic EH, and Armor EH would be one above, and one below the target health. Maybe silver color for armor EH, and a purpleish for magic EH.

Enjoying this mod a lot. Your work is greatly appreciated. Eventually I'll come up with something else for you to add =) =).

[`Milky]

I'm enjoying this mod as well. Thumbs-up!

[DdsT]

Can you add the physical/magical EHP regen as well please ?
Great work, keep going !

[Nefrite]

EHP dont count evasion of hero

[Habile]

Nor does it track damage block, buffs, or passive abilities. Although it's possible to check items, as far as I'm aware, you can only guess what skills the opponents have leveled up.

I believe this is as accurate as it can realistically be.

Well done, Barter.

[SESnut]

whats eh? o_O

[MaxGhost]

whats eh? o_O
Effective HP: The amount of HP you have if you add the amount of damage reduced by armor.

[RyokoHakubi]

Excellent mod, can't wait for further updates.

[Barter]

Uploaded a new version, tell me if you are having any problem with the saving and if the buffs are showing up on the target ui please

Barter,


Thanks for the changes to the minimap scalability. Are opacity options possible? Also, would it be possible to make the floating minimap either click-through, or to implement a toggle to do so?

[Barter]

Barter,

I tried the opacity but the only thing that changes is the picture of the map, the fog of war and unit "blocks" I cant change. If I make it 100% transparent it shows up like this:

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5014/81986529.jpg

Maybe it has it's uses, dunno, I can add it easily tough.

As for making click-through, sure, will make an option.

[MaxGhost]

That kinda reminds me of the Diablo 2 map that pretty much overlaps the entire screen. I like it.

[_Archangel_]

Wow. This is effing awesome. I set minimap hotkey to T, and have it at 84% scale and sit it at the bottom left corner overlapping the normal minimap - press T to enlarge the map :D

[Nebbs]

Buffs not showing up for me on your version.

[MaxGhost]

Buffs not showing up for me on your version.
The include has to be at the BOTTOM of game.interface.

I would still like an option for transparency. Although, I'm pretty sure you could mod the items on the map to be transparent too. Even with the solid dots, it's better than not having it for me.

[Tulita]

this mod its pretty nice, cant wait for the version with team UI :D

[_Archangel_]

Bug with it: When you press the hotkey for enlarged map and it pops up, all the pings (Hero deaths, pings from yourself/allies, tower under attack pings) that occurred from the last time you turn on the enlarged map and now all appear on the map at once.

Still, this mod is teh sex

Yeah... that bug probably can't be fixed because the code for minimap's pings and contents is hardcoded, not part of the ui.

[Desuuuu]

Looks good, I might download it later when I get home from school.

[Barter]

v1.02
- added EH to target
- added team ui, kinda not finished completelly, but all you should need is there, also didnt have time to test all the 4 frames at the same time, tested with only 1 teammate, but should be working, didnt add anything to the portrait yet like death timer, loading % and that kind of stuff, its just a portrait in this version
- added opacity/clickable to the minimap
- maybe more things, thats all I can remember

[Jayblah]

Barter,


Thanks for the minimap changes. I can not wait to test them out. However, as of 1.01 (I have not tried 1.02), my checks and options have continued to not save so the issue has not been fixed (atleast for me).

[Tulita]

can u make movable the game_chat_window so if i want to put the team ui on the left where the default is, the messages of the game dont overlap with the team ui? :D

[MaxGhost]

Known. I suggest you try 1.02...

[SESnut]

team uis are kinda large, if you stack them on the left like normal they cover up the chat, is it possible to make it scalable?

[Barter]

Scalable would be kinda messy, as I can't just scale it, I have to modify the width and height to make it look like its scaling, its easyier with the map/target ui cause there is almost to no text, only images, wich scale if I make the panel bigger, text stay the same, so I have to change the font size, and there's only a range of sizes that I can use.

Personally I don't think they are big, the old ones were at least 50% bigger, vertically they are about the same, horizontally this one is way thinner, its just that on the old mod the chat got moved when you enabled them, and I forgot to do that for this version, I'll prob make the chat movable with that box like the other stuff.

About the saves, I can't remember if I changed anything on 1.02 about the save cause I tried to fix it for a while, but I also can't remember about having problems with it while I was testing, but tell me if it still doesnt work entirelly, and when it doesn't, because its not always.

i dunno where to put them and they overlap my chat then

[Barter]

I already said the chat will be movable, if that's what you liked about the old one... If its not just that then don't be so vague...

[SaiZn1]

I liked the old Team UI more because it was already placed in the right position, the layout was better, and you could click the hero icon to target your teammates.

Also, will there be scaling on the info panel? The font for that is small.

[SESnut]

the new way is better, you can move the frames wherever you want and their position gets saved

[Barter]

v1.03
- fixed saving for real now :P
- team ui now defaults to the left side of the screen, can still move it if you wish
- added a button to reset all settings to default
- you change the font size of the info panel
- chat is now movable, it defaults a little to the right of where it normally is, out of the way of the default team ui place

QFT. Sorry Barter, but I was a much bigger fan of your work in mod 13. I loved some of the info that this mod gives but I'm gonna stick with 13 until it stops working with S2's patches. If you made this mod have the team ui of mod 13 I'd totally be with it. I just hate the scaling and that I can't even try and test it out and adjust it in practice mode. All criticism aside, great mod with all the info it gives.

[SESnut]

nevermind

[Barter]

v1.04
- updated for 0.1.45
- added option on death timer to say on team chat when a player has respawned, it says on green when its legion and red when the player is hellbourne
- added an option to show the time above your buffs

[Barter]

Later on I'll probably add other layout options for the teamui, but not for now. As for the scaling, I don't see what's to hate, its an option just like the others, if you want it the size it was on the old version just use the same size... And the only thing you can't test on the practice mode, wich is obviously how I always test everything, is the team ui cause you dont have a team, and that's no different than the old version.

[WiLL]

When displaying the buff timer, things that are a buff but have no timer show up as 0s which is a little bit annoying, eg. Astroblade , arachna's buff , base shop also would be cool if we could hide specific team UI's

Oh, fixed, thanks. Will see if I add something else before uploading.

[Tulita]

barter the option to say in teamchat if a hero respawned, can u make it separate on only enemys, only allies, and only own hero?

so if i leave the 3 options ON, is like it is currently. the spamming of messages of allies and enemies is kinda anoying.

[Barter]

v1.05
- fixed buffs with no duration showing 0s sometimes
- you can now hide specific team frames
- added another layout option for the team ui
- renamed the 'default' button to 'reset settings'
- added options to warn your own, enemy or ally respawns
- made death timers smaller to fit on non-widescreen resolutions

[substance]

New version looks awesome, keep it up!

[RyokoHakubi]

Loving the new version. The new Team UI is superb, and the announcing added to the death timer helps me quite a bit.

[Tripod]

Man this is one of the best mods right now imo. Love how you're combining lots of other things too, like the timers on buffs/debuffs. You ever plan to do some things to the scoreboard? Something thinner and less obstructive so I could keep it open all the time would be awesome (maybe something like lowboll's?)

Thanks for this awesomeness though.

Can you scale/stretch the minimap so it's fullscreen (the viewable area, not overlapping the interface) with 0% opacity so that only the dots show up?

Uh, you can make it pretty big yeah.

[Barter]

*shameless bump*

If you guys have suggestions of what I could add to the mod :P For now I guess I'll just make another team ui layout or something.

[Tulita]

make optional the timer of buffs to be on top or over the icon, a smaller scoreboard could be nice ... but that is a lot more work xd

[Barter]

Well, I put it on top of it cause inside the icons it already shows the charges of the buffs (only arcane hide for now I think), and its easier to read :P

I may do a scoreboard tough.

One thing I'd love to see fixed is the chat respawn announcements.. It seems to mix up the team colors frequently, I assume because it doesn't recheck what team I'm on when I join a new game.

An option to toggle forest/juking-paths on the mini-map would be appreciated. As it is right now, I don't really see a good reason to use the extended mini-map when the original one serves its purpose, but a juking map for smart escape pathing would be sweet.

That's a really nice juke spot map... Very nice. I'd like to see a quick toggle for that too, and it's even easier to code than the minimap.

If you mean there's double chat, you'll have to update you're mod. If not, can you re-explain yourself? I don't know what you're talking about.

the buff timer values are 1 second faster than other indicators (bard's ui, and vadi's buff/debuff)

theirs has it so that the moment it reaches 0 is when it ends. yours has it so that the "0" is displayed for one second and then disappears.

in all honesty i think the first way makes more sense. when it says "1" it should mean that you have 1 second of the buff left. if it says "0" for an entire second, it doesn't mean you have zero seconds left: you actually have one full second left - that doesn't make sense. please consider changing.

i love your package btw. all of the displays can be "clicked through" so it doesn't infringe on the size of your clickability area. the menu button is so compact too. <3 <3



* does clicking reset settings give you a confirmation or does it just do it? accidental clicks could be disastrous. i'm scared to test this cz i adjusted so many settings.

[gwho1]

dekleted

[alker]

Any way to remove the original minimap?

fixed it, but any way to move my own healthbars etc

[Speedohdk]

I've tried to download your ui but i cant seem to drag it into my HoN mod manager... why am i failing :(

[gwho1]

u dont drag it into the manager. u save the file into the mods folder. when u open the hon_modman it will automatically detect it and it wil appear in the modman

[Eccentrikit]

I've tried to download your ui but i cant seem to drag it into my HoN mod manager... why am i failing :(

Stupid question, are you sure you have the latest version of hon mod? Also are you sure you are dragging the .honmod and not the .xml?

You can drag it into the manager, alternative way to install mods.

[Speedohdk]

Stupid question, are you sure you have the latest version of hon mod? Also are you sure you are dragging the .honmod and not the .xml?



they are both up to date, and im dragging the .s2z file


i have a couple other mods that i easily setup, just curious why i cant get this one working. sorry for wasting your time with my stupidness

[TheFirefly]

Nice job there :)

[gifko]

Is would be nice to see buff scale option in the next version.

[Notausgang]

they are both up to date, and im dragging the .s2z fileThe .s2z format is not compatible with the mod manager, you need to download the .honmod version of the mod which you can probably find in the first post of this thread.

[EpicusFuror]

This might be a noob question, but I just recently installed Windows 7 today and when I came to reinstall HoN and the BardUI there was an issue. I think a new version of this was just released today and it's in *.s2z format... I put it in the /game/ directory and nothing happened. I downloaded the 1.05 bardui.honmod file and put it in the /mods/ folder and loaded it with HoN Mod Manager it says that the mod is applied with [Great Success!] but to no avail there is no option to turn it on (ie: the BardUI button never appears in the top right) when I load HoN. What am I doing wrong? I turned UAC off and everything... Please help!

Edit: ...Nevermind, apparently BarterUI and BardUI aren't quite the same... BarterUI can't get to work, but no need I guess. Thanks anyways....

[f3jk]

Hi, I have a problem with this modification.
Im using HonMod with mods:
-BardUI
-Cleaner Battles
-Ecyclopedia
-Picklefish Stats
-RuneTimer
-SpellChanneling Bar
-TinyUI

All these mods works fine but when I add this mod (s2z file), doesnt detect it to me in the game. I emphasize that I didnt used HonMod previously and i was adding mods directly to the game directory (as s2z). Improved UI has also been compiled with a different mod (Barter UI) by someone from the forum.With file s2z (bartui + improvedui) worked, separately doesnt work. Can I ask for some help?

Sorry for my english, I hope that as this is understandable :P

[FreshM]

1. did u delete the resources999.s2z file in your game directory ?
2. do you use any other plain .s2z mods with a higher number than this mod has that use the game.interface ?
3. this IS barter ui - available as .honmod file - compatible with all mods u listed u r using

[f3jk]

I thought that there is no honmod file, because I havent seen it in first post (pls do update).
With honmod file everything works fine. thx.

[ShadowsCrush]

It's in the full listing of HonMod mods, the link is listed under it since it was done by MaxGhost

[Lyken]

This doesn't work for me since I installed Windows 7 :<

[Mandos1]

An option to disable right clicking the minimap but allowing left clicking, alongside the no click option would be nice. Since one might want to use the minimap to look around but not use it for movement commands. This would eliminate the risk that you accidently right click the minimap when running away or chasing and thus sending you in an unwanted direction.

Sorry for bump,

I'm using Bard UI atm and I'm loving it, is there a way I can just add respawn times into Bards UI without downloading this UI :3

Not really... just use HoN Modification Manager. Barter UI is bug-free and is un-intrusive.

[tikal]

Not really... just use HoN Modification Manager. Barter UI is bug-free and is un-intrusive.

What do you mean? Install both and just take out what I don't like?

[tikal]

I just installed this and it doesn't work? I put it into my game folder and then when I loaded up a game nothing happend. I wanna try combine Bard UI and Barter UI together, love Bards and I love Barters death timer and heaps of other stuff. Anyone help :<?

[gwho1]

u only put s2z files into your game folder.

download mod manager, try going thru the instructions again. mod manager is a stand alone appliatn like mocrosoft excel, or warcraft 3 or itunes. put that somewhere else. once u go thru the proper extraction, it will create a "mods" folder in the game folder. u put honmods there. when u run mod manager it will detect and show the icon in the program.

[tikal]

Yeah and I have that, and in my hon mods thingo I have Bards UI, and I put barters in the /game folder?? Something wrong :S?

[gwho1]

i'm using bards, barter, and tiny. i already explained to u how to do it. u can also read the instructions in the modman thread too

[MaxGhost]

You need to go to file->apply mods after you got all the mods you want to combine together.

[Barter]

Hey guys, sorry for not updating the mod, been kinda busy and etc. So is there any bugs or something? Ill see if I add that jungle map, but isnt there a prettier version of the map? Like drawn on the minimap image or something, that one is kinda ugly =x

[livEvil]

I've noticed that a full screen minimap flashes for a split second after the loadscreen when the games starts (i have disabled the extra minimap). Nothing serious though..

[L0rdSalf0ris]

would someone be so kind as to make a s2z mod of this for me... thanks

[MaxGhost]

would someone be so kind as to make a s2z mod of this for me... thanks

Why not .honmod? You can make an .s2z version by applying only this mod with the mod manager.

[L0rdSalf0ris]

hon mods too much of a pain in the a** with a mac even when you get mono

[Barter]

Added a s2z link.

[L0rdSalf0ris]

thanks o much barter :)

[Barter]

v1.06
- added a confirmation to the reset settings
- added addon support with honmod, there's a link to an addon that shows the juking map as an example, addons are honmod only, cant do without it, any questions just ask

[gwho1]

waht the addon juking map does isn't described very clearly. i'll just have to see formyself and test it. but darn, HoN is down right now =/

is it a map of the paths between the trees?
if u eat a tree will it reflect that or is it a static image?

[MaxGhost]

Yes, it is. It's a map of all the paths available without broken trees. It's not the prettiest thing ever, but it's pretty good. Viole made it, and it's from the guides forum.

[Lim_Dul]

The settings panel opens for me each and every time at the start of the game in this version. :-(

Gonna try to explain the addon a little so ppl can make their own hopefully.

Here is the mod.xml for honmod, you need to use honmod to use/create addons:

</modification>The first part is just for the honmod, then you copy the addon files:


<requirement name="Improved UI by Barter" version="1.06-*" />
<copyfile name="ui/barterui_addon_jukingmap.package" />
<copyfile name="ui/barterui_addon_jukingmap_options.package" />
<copyfile name="ui/jukingmap_addon/juking.jpg" />Keep the requirement as it is, the first copyfile is the main package of the addon, that's where you will put all the code that makes your addon what it is.
The second copy is the package for the options frame, the one that shows up when you click on the addon's button in the options menu, it has all the options sliders etc in there.
The third is just an image, in this case the juking map that shows up, just copy as many as you need to use, but the 2 packages always have to exist.


<editfile name="ui/barter_ui.package">

]]>
</insert>
</editfile>This is to insert the button that shows the addon's options in the addons submenu. Don't change anything but this:
- The widget name inside the OnShow, that one has to be the same as the name of the frame that is on the options package.
- The label, that is the text inside the button.

</editfile>This is so when you click on the reset settings it also resets the settings of your addon, just put as many setsaves there as needed, the values are the default ones, so when you reset it goes back to default obviously.

<insert position="after">

</insert>

</editfile>And the last one inserts the main file of your addon, where as said before is the main code of your addon, your interface and everything, in this case what's in the main package is a scalable panel with the juking.jpg, wich is the juking map, as texture, and an instance of the movable white box.



Well that's it, making addons for the mod is more so that you use the options menu for your mod options, the rest is just as if it was a standalone.

[MaxGhost]

Thanks for the guide, it'll help.

[hsram]

Oh, new version of the addon fixing the variables not initiating properly, now it works.

good lol i thought you had declared new variables for some odd reason :(

[gwho1]

some feedback after testing:

- the juking map isn't clickable, even tho there is an option to enable/disable it. (yes i did update the addon. previously, the checkboxes wouldn't even click. now they do, but this "clickable" one isn't working. thinking about it, do we even want it to be clickable?
- the hotkey assignment for minimap and juking map don't seem to work for me.
i switched them so that minimap is F3 and juking is F4, but it just ignores that and the original key bindings are in effect.

Update your mod. He uploaded a new version which fixed one or two small bugs. Also, you need to hit the "ENTER" key on your keyboard after typing in a hotkey, and the hotkeys need to be uppercase.

[gwho1]

i modified my post after u quoted, but before i refreshed the page to see what u wrote..


(yes i did update the addon. previously, the checkboxes wouldn't even click. now they do, but this "clickable" one isn't working. thinking about it, do we even want it to be clickable?)

that was the correct changes right? or did he update it again?

[Barter]

Yeah the clickable doesn't do anything, I was just too lazy to remove that option and rearrange all the buttons after copying the options from the minimap options cause I made it more as an example as to how to make an addon.

[gwho1]

i see.

pressing enter solved the hotkey problem
yeah the clickable donest do anything. but i think it's totally fine. thx for the updates

The Juking Map is an addon, for addon's options go to options -> addons -> "addon name". Also use the v1.06 but I'm guessing you are already if you managed to apply the addon on honmod.

thanks barter<3, looking good :D

[Barter]

Are you sure you are using the last version? I just checked the link on the first post and it's the right one, the addon stuff is there.

[Eccentrikit]

Hey I got a request, can you add option to move the + (options button) xD

[Charging_in]

i've got a problem. When i go to the bottom right corner of the screen, i.e stash or tower fortification glyph, the explanation for what i'm hovering the mouse over gets in the way and i cant actually click what im hovering over, i need to click several times and move the mouse back and forth over the intended items. its simply the explanation window is too low. i've looked within options for some way to fix this but im at a loss.
the problem goes away when i remove your mod, but i love ur mod so much and have come to depend on it so much, that i just fight with the explanation window anytime i wanna do something.

edit: ok i just updated and everything is peachy. not to worry. cant fault it.

[zp_]

Hey barter, I was wondering if you would have any objections to me releasing a standalone "Enemy Respawn Announcer" based on your 'code'.

You would have credits attached in the forum post and in the .package, I just simply stripped it down and made it a standalone mod to announce when somebody on the enemy team respawns.

You can post here or PM me and let me know.

....... Why... You can just disable all the other parts if you only want this one.

[zp_]

Then why not just have it standalone? Much easier for me, and without all the unneeded things that I don't want. No fiddling with options or anything like that, just put it in and go.

Like I said, I did it for myself, and if he doesn't want me to release it(since it uses his code)... I wont.

[Sephinator]

I don't get it. It takes no space at all. And a standalone is not needed.

[Barter]

v1.07
- added two new addons: levelup hotkeys and autocast hotkeys
- fixed the panel that holds the addons buttons to scale properly
- added more templates to the team ui
- added an option to warn the respawn for only yourself

[Zaraki]

Whoa, nice update. I like the addons a lot :)

To skip to the problem/request:

Can you modify, the application button, and place it on the menu, like Barter's is.

That "+" is just sitting in my face.

Or is there an easy way to move/hide it ?

great stuff!

[Koorac]

Sometimes the death time is still there in the next game (just a white box with the time frozen) of some of the dead players. This then covers the new death timer, so it's not usable in that game. I have to disable it and then it works again the game after that.

Otherwise very nice UI mod:).
Are you planning on adding some miss/re buttons sometime? I think that would be a nice addition to the mod.

[Zaraki]

Are you planning on adding some miss/re buttons sometime? I think that would be a nice addition to the mod.

He probably won't, since there are other mods out there that do this and that are compatible with this (BardUI for example). Of course, there is nothing stopping him from doing this :p

[Coloz]

dl link broken?^^

[Barter]

Seems to be working here.

[Coloz]

well whan i klick on the link it says nothing found

[KaliKot]

the add-ons are nice I really like them. And I prefer your mod to bard's because bard's unitframes chug down system performance while yours doesnt

keep up the good work. And death timer is infinitely useful its almost like cheating :P

[Cow]

I cant get the death timer to work. It will only warn about my allies respawn. Did it get disabled or something on the latest patches?

[hsram]

speaking of death timer is it just me or does it overlay the concede, kick and pause thing to where it's hard to tell who is being kicked or what's going on cuz of the portraits?

[Barter]

I did not realize it got in the way of the vote, as I play on widescreen it wasnt really a problem for me, didnt think about normal screen tough, but thanks for posting, was gonna release 1.08 when I saw this, so added an option to hide the timer when a voting is going on.

See, that's why ppl should post here about those things.

Also I didnt have time to get the button somewhere else, I actually forgot untill just now and it would take some time to get a place for it and see if its ok there and I wanted to release it already, I'll do it for the next one.


v1.08
- you can now chose to show bars below the ally hero units' hp/mana bar,
wich show the status of their skills in the same colors as the team ui.
**on this release it only updates when the hp %, mana % and level of the
hero changes, so it will update fairly regularly, but there may be times
when it doesnt update for a while, like if the hero is full mana and hp, but
on a normal game it should not be a problem. I'll try to find a way to
update always**
- added an option to hide the respawn timer if there is a voting that you
can vote on going on
- maybe something else I missed, nothing major tough

[Sephinator]

Thx for the update. :D

Actually I'd like to see an opacity option/slider for respawn timers. For me, that's the only problem. Because they're click-through. I'd rather keep them enabled and just see-through instead.

I guess, this is a bug:

Only shows Legion's first player death, and in all slots

[Barter]

Oh ****, uploaded another one fixing that.

It's alright now ^^ and looks sweet!

I love your mod btw =D

I did not realize it got in the way of the vote, as I play on widescreen it wasnt really a problem for me, didnt think about normal screen tough, but thanks for posting, was gonna release 1.08 when I saw this, so added an option to hide the timer when a voting is going on.

See, that's why ppl should post here about those things.

Also I didnt have time to get the button somewhere else, I actually forgot untill just now and it would take some time to get a place for it and see if its ok there and I wanted to release it already, I'll do it for the next one.


v1.08
- you can now chose to show bars below the ally hero units' hp/mana bar,
wich show the status of their skills in the same colors as the team ui.
**on this release it only updates when the hp %, mana % and level of the
hero changes, so it will update fairly regularly, but there may be times
when it doesnt update for a while, like if the hero is full mana and hp, but
on a normal game it should not be a problem. I'll try to find a way to
update always**
- added an option to hide the respawn timer if there is a voting that you
can vote on going on
- maybe something else I missed, nothing major tough

it use to not do this though, i dunno when it started doing this (i think it was the original honmod conversion, i dont think so though). thanks for this though! :)

i agree, that would be more useful than hiding imo

Couldn't get 1.08 to work. All previous versions worked fine. Tried applying mods in Hon Mod Manager and it gave me the error

Improved UI by Barter caused a problem
Could not find string starting with "<!-- Health bar -->" as sought by C:\Program Files\Heroes of Newerth\game\mods\barterui.honmod/mod.xml

I use Bard UI, Mana Costs, Spell Channeling Bar, Picklefish Stats and Bang Nameplate Cooldowns. These all worked together before v1.08 and none of the others were updated at the same time as I tried v1.08 of this mod.


On a separate note: (while I was using v1.07)
I tried the "auto level up hotkeys" addon, but I decided I wanted to still have the Shift+Ability queueing so I uninstalled the addon. Anyway, resetting barters didn't reset my keybinds, I ended up just manually unbinding the keys but I was hoping you'd erase the keybinds the mod added if the mod was uninstalled. Im not sure if thats possible but I wanted to make you aware of it.

Thanks for the great mod! Modders add so much to games, I love what you guys come up with.

[hsram]

Bang Nameplate Cooldowns.

that's more than likely why.

Like hsram said its probably Bang Nameplate Cooldowns if it is what I think it is.

Yeah I think I'll just leave the hotkeys empty as default next time.

[Ponti1]

Im not good with these honmods stuff, all i know is i can download the .s2z files

can you make an updated and fixed .s2z files, showing blue death in all slots is scary... :)

[Cow]

Your juking map is very nice, so nice I wanted to use it as a replacemeant for the standard minimap. But I noticed a problem, it wont show pings and warnings. So maybe you could add that on the next update?

You could add an option to replace the original map with the juking one, that would be nice ^^

[MaxGhost]

One problem with that though... The tiny little lines don't show up very well when reduced.

[hsram]

with the hide death portraits option, after the vote i believe it hides it permanently and doesn't reappear after that.

[hsram]

where can you choose to show it or not? i didn't see anything in-game as far as options go to turn it on/off and im not seeing anything visually in-game either and im wondering if it's cuz im using hero health/mana percentages?



- added an option to hide the respawn timer if there is a voting that you can vote on going on

it seems to hide the death portraits permanently if a vote occurs and the game goes on (even when checking and unchecking the enable box)

edit: sorry for the double post i thought i hit edit instead of posting a reply *sigh*

[Fitzfuchs]

Your right, after the first vote the portraits are gone. When you uncheck the enable box, and a new votet will be startet, the portraits are back again.
But the normal new funktion is broken atm.

It's on the Team UI options, its labeled as "Show on units", it only shows up on your allies units, below the hp/mana bars. And as for it not showing up, are you using the honmod version or s2z? If its s2z it is probably because the hero health/mana percentages, if its honmod it should be working if the option is on.
Is it working for anyone? I tested in some games before releasing and it was working.

Also:

v1.081
- fixed the hide death timers when voting option

Also updated the s2z version.

i haven't tried that, does the team ui have to be enabled for this to work? (aka will this interfere with bard's unit frames in the process?)

i never use s2z, honmod ftw and thanks for that fix btw

No, the Team UI doesn't need to be enabled for the skill status on the hp/mana bars to work.

Should add a changelog note, cuz I was waiting on this but only checking the first post.

Mediafire ain't working or something. Can't download:/

[ShadowExile]

It's the same for me. Hope this is fixed soon as I uninstalled and reinstalled HoN today in a furious attempt to try and get the patch working ASAP, which it didn't >.>

So now I gotta get all the working mods again, so hopefully this fixes itself or maybe is uploaded to another source soon :) Love your mods Barter.

[Quzzap]

Yea the mediafire link of the main mod (not the addons) isn't working. Could anybody please re-upload?

[MaxGhost]

http://www.mediafire.com/?fm2mmdjzmo4

Works for me...

Edit: The download page works, but that specific mediafire server the mod file is on is down I think. It'll probably work after a while.

[Barter]

Reuploaded it.

[ShadowExile]

Neither the previous link nor the current one works.

Maybe megaupload would be a suitable temporary solution? Sure, a 60 second wait, but mediafire seems to be unreliable for your mod at the moment :P

edit:
the 'all honmod packages' file by hsram has the version (name="Improved UI by Barter" version="1.08" date="09.11.2009") in it, I get the following error while applying the mods in modman:

"Improved UI by Barter" caused a problem:

I assume this is fixed in the newer versions, just thought I'd share :)

Guys... Use the download link from the front page. Barter updated it...

I suggest you start disabling other mods and re-applying until you find which mod is incompatible with Barter's. Once you find it, update that one.

[ShadowExile]

I think the one that is incompatible with Improved UI is Bang! Nameplate Cooldowns

[connta]

i dont seem to be able to change autocast keys bindings, whatever i put there it still stays on default binding and also if i restart hon it also restarts any change i made to bindings to default ones...

You need to press enter after typing in a hotkey. The hotkey also has to be uppercase.

In the original post of the thread. You can't use the add-ons without the main mod. The add-ons are for this mod.

I have the same problem. I can see the buff timers but no icons.

Knowing Barter, it might just be an accidental code change he did which disabled it. I'll try to get a hold of him.

I couldn't test right now cause I can't do test that one on practice, but the last games I played they were working, using any other addon? Especially ones that do something to the bars above the units.

If you mean the buffs of you own hero, I just tested and the icons and time on them show up fine here, what other addons are you using?

[Grrey]

I installed this mod using the s2z file. I copied it over my game folder as instructed. The mod is accessible in practice mode but not in real game.

Please advise!

Thanks

.s2z mods generally wont work after new patches. I suggest you use the .honmod version with the HoN Mod Manager.

Thanks Barter.

Well, try to reapply the mods and see if shows up, if not maybe its something with TinyUI if it is the buffs, if you meant the skill bars below friendly heroes unit bars then maybe it is Tower Denier, try without those.

Towers have their own alt files, so I doubt it, but it's the most likely candidate aside from that.

Here is a screenshot to clarify. I had just eaten a tree and the buff timer showed, but there is no icon above it like their was prior to 1.59.

Oh well your problem is different than the person you posted after (on the last page). I would think it would be from BardUI, but you don't have that mod, so I don't know what to tell you. Try re-applying your mods, I guess...

[i0X]

I disabled all the mods. ran Hon. deleted the resources 999 file to make sure and then re-enabled and launched again. Still the same problem.

Did you apply your mods after doing that? Just enabling won't apply them.

[Barter]

Try without any, see if it's there, if it is then apply one by one and test wich one is causing it.

[i0X]

TinyUI was the culprit. It shows up with no mods enabled, and it shows up with Barters UI, but not when TinyUI is enabled.

Thanks guys, guess ill have to wait for a tiny UI update.

if anyone is interested, I was testing on 1.59.1, Improved UI by barter v1.08 and TinyUI v1.16.

[MaxGhost]

Download the new TinyUI version from the repository. It should be working... I don't have the problem with that version.
