Group Resources gives you the option to share your magicka and stamina values with your group in real time.
Beneath the hood, this addon relies on the newly released
LibGroupSocket, which manages the collection and sending of data, so other addons can easily integrate the feature.
Group Resources only manages the bars for the PC and console vanilla group frames, this means you won't need it if you are using group frames from other UI addons.
If you don't want to disable the group frames from other addons until they support this, you can still send your values to group members, but you won't see them in your own UI.
In order to follow ZOS' opt out policy (brought up in regards to Group Damage), LibGroupSocket gives you fine grained control over what data you share with your group. Per default it automatically disables the sending of all data when you leave a group, or quit the game.
Dependencies
The following dependencies are required by GroupResources:
Usage
The sending of data is disabled right after you install the addon.
There are three ways to active it:
- Turn it on via the group menu,
- type "/lgs 1" in chat,
- or enable it in the settings menu for LibGroupSockets.
Sending will automatically disable itself again when you reload the UI, restart the game or leave a group. This is in order to prevent involuntarily sharing data with the wrong people.
If you want LibGroupSockets to remember the settings you have chosen, you need to install it as a stand alone addon, otherwise it will revert to its default values when the UI is next loaded.
You can also choose if you want to share your maximum stamina and magicka values with group members, but this is off by default and only will be useful in combination with other unit frame addons that will show the values.
Other addons which support communicating with Group Resources:
