RaidMarkers [v0.91] (September 09, 2011)

[Quzzap]

Hello, here's another mod from me and my buddy itons!



RaidMarkersv0.91 (Compatible with HoN v2.*)
Download honmod - This mod requires Bang! Lib Chat Parser!
If the honmod auto-updating is not working re-download it here.

In-Game screenshot:


Features:

• Assign the 8 World of Warcraft raid icons to any hero (ally or enemy).
• When the marked hero will submerge and emerge from the Fog of War it'll still have the icon.
• Everybody can assign icons, not only the highest psr/mmr so no need for some sort of leader.
• Assigned icons are shared between other people in your team who also have this mod! (so get your friends to download this too )

Bugs:

• When the only hero you see on screen has full hp and mana you have to mouseover the hero before the icon shows up (or wait a long time ).

Changelog:

v0.91 (September 09, 2011)
- Fixed for HoN v2.1.8.0 (quick and dirty, not using the new lua structure)
- Doesn't join a channel when entering a practice game.

v0.90 (June 20, 2011)
- Public release

Future Plans:

- Display icons on default TeamUI (and BardUI++ ofc :p)
- Hardcode colors and build a panel to mark targets without selecting them
- Using channel topic for icon sync if somebody disconnects/crashed
- Option to mute chat message send sound when assigning a target.

Wow awesome. Real cool that you can share markers with teammates.

Ehm... not knowing WoW, so it doesn't say anything to me, screenshots or a video would be nice

[NiGHTsC]

Pretty much like this I suppose

Pretty nifty little mod here. I can see how this could be useful.

EVERYONE ATTACK SKULL. MORE DOTS.
SQUARE MUST BE DISABLED AT ALL TIMES.

One thing sux is that not everyone will have this mod because they have to go and get it.

Awesome idea, only thing i have to ask is how big is the performance hit? Because i know mods that mess with heath-bars and stuff can cause huge impacts on performance, and i use a lot of mods.

Thanks

shouldnt there be 10 of these? or more? since there is 10 people in the game....

XD

also, it would be a lot easier to make a tiny button to expand symbols out (in the in-game UI), then you click a symbol then click a player, or something like that. (or select a player then click the symbol). this way you dont need a bunch of hotkeys to mark people :P

I was kind of worried about this too and just tested this with a replay.
Teamfight at middle tower for a base push, 5x5, 2 full creep waves. Lots of spells flying around. The difference was around 4-5 fps on my pc (i7 920, 275gtx, 6gb ram, 1920x1200 all settings maxed out).

that's on our to-do list.

Thanks, i will have to try it out and debate whether it is worth it, i currently drop to 17-30 FPS during HUGE fights, even with my GTX560 TI, 8GB of ram, AMD 955 OCed.

I run at max 1920 X 1080 but i recently turned off AA, Texture Filtering and post processing for some more fps. I also turned shadows down to medium, someone said that helps alot but i haven't noticed.

Very well done. Always wanted to have something like this, but was too lazy to do it myself. Thanks for implementing it

If you add an option to adjust the position, that would make it perfect for me.

• Assigned icons are shared between other people in your team who also have this mod! (so get your friends to download this too )

What if A and B both assign on C but with different symbols?
Maybe you could some sort of options like "Use XX symbols" and "Use my symbols"?

The one who last assigned the icon will be displayed (everybody can overwrite an already assigned icon).

[NiGHTsC]

Could this becomes endless overwriting hole?
Cause people would just keep re-assign to their symbols and by doing so, you would never see your symbols.
A assign a symbol, B replace it, A re-replace it, etc...

Sweet!

[itons]

Yes, that's the beauty of it. You are supposed to share the markers with your team. Anybody serious enough to install the mod will respect that and use the mod for correct markings. Might someone decide to continously abuse the mod they Will be limited by the chatservers spam protection and if necessary you can ignore them. Because the mod works through chat channels any commands they sent will be ignored.
