311 Arc Plate

[[RLSQ]salierii]

i wish that there wouldn't be so many changes between each version that break it :s

[[LOLl]Manu311]

Sorry for the long wait, I'm on linux and am still not able to patch. I patched now via the inofficial python fix so I'm able to work on the problem.
Bad news is: the file seems to be completly remade. That means I can't just fix a few lines in the patch but I need to rewrite it entirely (at least I think so :S).
Since I have nearly no experience with honmods, that will take a while in best case and forever in bad case.
Since I don't wanna play without this mod, I'll give it at much effort as possible, but I can't promise anything.

//EDIT:
For the time I'm busy with it, I got a temporary fix for you which may cause other problems to appear. The old files are working if you replace the new ones with it. But if I put it into an s2z file it doesn't work. I could fix it this way, but I'll try the longer way which will be more likely to work with other mods.

//EDIT2:
I fixed it this way, I totally replace the current file with the last one. It's working with and without all of my modifications. That doesn't mean it will with yours, but it should.
Due to this, it does contain both versions of the file, which results in a relative "big" honmod file. It will definitly stop working if they change anything on the bars again.
Anyways it's working for now. And I'll be unable to fix anything between christmas and new years eve (I don't have my pc with me) so let's hope they don't change anything.

Wait what? It's working? Where's the download?

[[ZA]Witblitz]

Nevermind

[[LOLl]Manu311]

I guess you found out it's auto-updatable :P.
I found a very simple way to make this work way easier. With much less "destruction" and make it less vulnerable to changes by S2 (I only change like 2 lines and add a bunch of code before one single line).
I hope it will work out inside a honmod soon so I will update it.

//EDIT:
Alright, it IS working now. The problem is, I'm using the Java ModManager as many of you do too. It doesn't apply it correctly. When I write something to the lua file it also add's bad bits to the beginning of the file which leads to corruption. That doesn't prevent the mod from applying but will totally destroy your health bars. Since the current version is working as long as they don't change anything, I'll keep that one online for now. I wrote a message in the ModManager-Thread to make them fix it. When a new patch of hon which stops the mod from applying or a working version of my manager is available, I will make my current version public.

//EDIT2:
I've decided to give the new version to you, althought it may not work for you yet. I'll tell you here how to make it work for now (a bit tricky): https://rapidshare.com/files/6847068...rcPlate.honmod
1. You have to apply the mod
2. You have to unzip your resouces999.s2z inside "hon-folder/game" to a place somewhere (you can delete this later)
3. create the folder "ui" inside of "hon-folder/game" and an other folder "scripts" inside this one.
4. go into the folder "ui/scripts" inside of the extracted files (see step 2) and copy the file "alt_info_hero.lua" into the directory you created in step 3.
5. edit this file now (location should now be: "hon-folder/game/scripts/alt_info_hero.lua") in multiple editors, I don't know which will work for windows, if you're on linux you can use vim with the -b flag "vim -b alt_info_hero.lua". You have to find an editor which shows some "strange" symbols in the beginning of the file. If you found one, delete these symbols and save the file. Don't think they aren't there if you don't see them, they are!
6. You may delete the extracted files from step 2 now. The modification should work now.

You have to do this again if you re-apply your mods!

This is only nessessary for java hon modmanager thought. Although Notausgang (which made the original modmanager) told me that his modmanager also has problems with such issues, maybe this can also work if you use that.

For normal users the current auto-updated modification (link in first post) does still work for the current version, just stay with this if you have no clue about what I just wrote.

I downloaded the one in the link and updated and applied and its not working. So i will attempt to try the complicated one

[[LOLl]Manu311]

I could upload an archive which only needs to be extracted into your "hon-folder/game"-folder which will definitly apply the mod.
That may be easier.
Here's a try:
https://rapidshare.com/files/1112255..._temporary.zip
Warning: I haven't applied the file which contains the variables (like if arcs are enabled) because other mods may change that file (which wouldn't work after this) so you can't use this to install my mod for the first time (use the one in my last post in addition to this for that). If you already tried earlier versions of my mod, it should be fine if you just unzip this archive to "hon-folder/game".

//EDIT:
I forgot one thing, your modmanager may try to update, that will "downpatch" to the autoupdatable version - which may not work anymore. That's because I can't have 2 versions, try to prevent your modmanager from doing so (or use the archive I posted here).

[Kazuko]

I'm a bit confused, I unzipped that link into my game folder and ran a practice game and my health bar still looked the same. I tried your link in your original post and that didnt work either.

[[LOLl]Manu311]

Could you check if there is a new folder called "ui" inside that game folder and a file and an other directory (scripts) in this?
If that's the case, please try to open the ingame console (ctrl-f8) in hon and type: "reloadinterface alt_info_hero" is there an error?
If not try "reloadinterfaces" (no need to search errors after) and check if you still don't see the correct arcs.

Updated 311ArcPlate.honmod to version 0.6. Now works with HON 2.5.3.

Changes: moved arcplate code into a separate file. The separate file will replace all changes S2 does to ui/alt_info_hero.interface.

[BryanFury]

The file don't work with 2.5.3, it get an error

[[ZA]Witblitz]

This mod is ****ing broken again, what the ****.

[[LOLl]Manu311]

I guess I'll change the versioning a bit to make an autoupdatable version working as long as the modmanagers are working on the problem.

//EDIT:
I updated to 0.07 now, this version totally overwrites the file recently changed by S2. This mod WILL work no matter what, but it may cause disturbance to other interface things, but will most likely only remove those and not make them corrupt.

[[WSHH]GayCarlWhite]

You sir are a work-a-holic.
We all appreciate this.

[[ZA]Witblitz]

Ok thanks a bunch, working again.

[[LOLl]Manu311]

You sir are a work-a-holic.
We all appreciate this.

I'll remember that next time some1 calls me lazy again .

[Kazuko]

I tried it and it works and it uploaded and applied. When i get in game i have normal health bar. Is there another mod that might be overriding?

[[LOLl]Manu311]

There shouldn't be any other mod overriding this since I completly overwrite the hero-bar-file. Maybe there's some other mod doing the same (which I really hope is not the case). I'm not absolutely sure if the mod is still working on everyones hon and if not I'll try to fix that.
Could you tell me if this is the first time you tried my mod or if you had it working earlier on? And try it without any other mods working please. If it still doesn't work, report back.
It could also be usefull if you open the hon-console (in a practice game) and type "reloadinterface alt_info_hero". Please try to write any resulting code here that is printed after you do that - especially everything that looks like a warning or an error.

[[LOLl]Manu311]

The Java Mod Manager should be fixed. Since I don't have any computer with pixel shader 2 (needed for hon) available until next year, I'm not changing the "good" honmod to stable (I want to test it myself first), you can download it here: https://rapidshare.com/files/6847068...rcPlate.honmod and NOT update it (yet) to check if it's working (and please tell me/us here) for you. Please also mention your ModManager (e.g. with a link to its thread) and its version number (of the modmanager).
If it doesn't work just update it to the currently working version (the highest version number currently) and apply that one.

[[LOLl]Manu311]

So now finally shirkit updated his java mod manager ....
My Modversion 0.06 is working with it I tested it - at least on a hon client that already had earlier version running - I think it should work for others too.
I'll keep the 0.07 version, which is running with older modmanagers up for a bit but I recommend you update to new modmanger versions which can edit lua files. For Java Modmanager this is versions >= 0.9.9.6
