Combat Reticle Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.1.1

by: Aetheron, calia1120

WHAT's NEW:

Version 2.0 adds two new reticle modes and reticle theme modules. The previous "combat mode" reticle has been split into three distinct sub-modes: 1) in combat with no target under reticle, 2) in combat with hostile target under reticle, and 3) in-combat with friendly target under reticle. You can configure the reticle to highlight enemies one way and friendly units another while in combat.

Reticle theme modules are something that have been in the works for a long time now. Basically it means that other add-on developers can create custom reticle themes (colors, modes, and even icons) and publish them separately from Combat Retilce. When installed, these theme modules are detected by Combat Reticle and are mad available in the theme selection menu. I plan on creating documentation on how this is done soon, and I will release an example custom theme module at the same time.

Important Because of how reticle themes are now handled, it was necessary to break compatibility with previous combat reticle settings. This means your old settings won't work with the new version. In fact, I recommend that you remove the old settings by deleting the "CombatReticle.lua" file from the "Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/SavedVariables" directory in your home directory (Windows) before installing the new version.

WHAT IT IS:
Combat Reticle is a graphical add-on that greatly enhances visibility and utility of the on-screen reticle for targeting and interacting with items, NPCs, and other players in the game world. The primary goal is to make the reticle more visible during combat to improve targeting accuracy. This is accomplished by allowing the user to customize the reticle image, color, opacity, scale, rotation, and animation mode. A customized reticle can either use a single image or include an addition overlay image with it's own independent visual settings. Considering the large number of included reticle images (73 and counting), and the fact that there are nine distinct reticle modes that can be used and configured, the result is a nearly infinite number of reticle configuration possibilities! (for the math geeks, it's over 1e300 combinations!)

Combat Reticle does not acquire or display any target data. This is partly due to performance considerations in large PvP battles, and partly due to a preference for a minimal UI. If you would like to have target data, it's possible that Combat Reticle could coexist with another reticle add-on. Compatibility with Rainbow Reticle is confirmed. I have not tested with others, though I plan to. If you use other target information reticle addons, though please report any issues you encounter to help improve this. Thanks! - Calia

RETICLE MODES
Combat Reticle supports nine specific reticle modes. Each mode can be customized, disabled, or set to game default (i.e. show standard ESO reticle). Stealth modes utilize the default ESO "stealth eye" as the base reticle, but an overlay image can be used with full customization options. The reticle modes are:

Interactive - An interactable item or friendly NPC/player character is targeted.
Target Hostile - An enemy (hostile) mob, NPC, or player character is targeted and range is close enough to activate skill bar. Like the skill bar, this does not always mean that the target is close enough to attack.
Target Neutral - An attackable neutral mob is targeted and range is similar to "target hostile" mode (skill bar is not shown until unit is attacked).
Combat - Player is engaged in combat.
Combat (hostile target) - Player is engaged in combat, reticle is over a hostile.
Combat (friendly target) - Player is engaged in combat, reticle is over a friendly.
Normal - Default reticle mode (i.e. none of the above modes and not stealthed or disguised).
Stealth Interactive - Player is hidden and an item or friendly NPC/player character is targeted and can be interacted with.
Stealth Target Hostile - Player is hidden and an enemy (hostile) mob, NPC, or player character is targeted.
Stealth Target Neutral - Player is hidden and an attackable neutral mob is targeted.
Stealth Combat - Player is hidden and engaged in combat.
Stealth Normal - Player is hidden and no other reticle modes apply.

DETAILED DOCUMENTATION
Please refer to the "readme.rtf" file located in the "docs" folder of the add-on for complete, detailed information on how to use and configure Combat Reticle.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if you could actually be in combat mode and sneak mode at the same time. Seems that for me (without Combat Reticle enabled), attacking something when hidden pops me out of sneak mode and puts me in combat mode. Then again, I think there may be Nightblade skills that could come into play. I'll do some testing.

when you in sneak
and in group also

and your group start fighting not so far near you - you will be in combat mode, but in sneak too

When you're in stealth and combat modes, both the stealth eye and the combat reticle will be displayed at the same time. You might not see the stealth eye if your combat reticle covers it, so choose an open-style combat reticle like the one shown below:

The stealth eye will be shown using the "hostile target - stealth" color settings (unless you have that mode disabled - then it will be the normal steal eye color).

I should point out that this behavior is purely accidental - I didn't expect the stealth eye to be drawn in combat mode. I will fix this by adding yet another reticle mode: "combat stealth". This will allow you to configure a different overlay reticle around the stealth eye like the other stealth modes.

Thanks for pointing this issue out!

Hmmm, interesting. I think I know the Harpies you're talking about (North-Northeast of Daggerfall?). I'll take a look.

The addon worked like a charm on all of my characters (thanks for this great addon) until i made a new character today. It still works on all of my old characters but on the new one the detection for hostile targets does not work. It simply stays normal as if there wasn't an enemy. If i enter combat it works and changes the reticle and it changes as well when i look at interactive objects and plays the animation right. It just does not detect enemies which is the weirdest thing as it works everywhere else. I tried to reinstall the addon, deleted the .lua and set it up completely new and still have the same problem. Any suggestions how to fix this are greatly appreciated. /edit: So... i found the problem.

Forgot to add that, in my past testing, it seemed that acquiring and displaying reticle target information caused noticeable FPS impact when there were large numbers of targets (i.e. big battles in PvP). This is why Combat Reticle does not display any target information.

In general, if you're having FPS issue, I'd try disabling all add-ons to establish your base FPS, then selectively re-enable add-ons to see if one or more of them are causing a problem. Tedious, but that's the only way I know to figure it out.

Every line of code impacts FPS, but I don't think Combat Reticle will cause a measurable FPS drop - at least that's what my testing on my rig has indicated. I was very careful in optimizing the per-frame reticle rendering. Of course, reticle animations require more work, so if you're on a lower-end system, you may want to avoid using animation.

The feature in question is "change crosshair.dds image when in melee range". This option was working in 1.5 but the entire mod is broken in 1.6 (though I think the melee check still works, the function reticleSettingsOnUpdate is what's broken).

Here is a rough piece of the code if it helps at all (not sure what the etiquette for this is but hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes):

Hi - sorry for the delay in responding. From past experience, the only way to guess if you were in melee range was to actually calculate the distance to target then compare to a hard-coded distance threshold for melee range. I didn't put this in due to the potential impact on FPS. I'm actually surprised that the API doesn't have a function to tell you when you're in melee (or ranged) distance.

One idea I have had is to allow you to configure a particular slotted skill to use as an attack range indicator - in other words, when that skill is enabled, the cursor would change to an "in-range" reticle. The problem is that every skill has different ranges so it would only be accurate for that one skill. I will study the code you provided, but it looks pretty complex so I'd once again be afraid of FPS impact. But I'll let you know.

I am not using animation in settings personally. Never noticed fps impact.
You can test it but do it during night when there is not to much people on server

Copy and overwrite them in "Combat Reticle" folder

In Combat Reticle settings for "Type" choose "Custom"

Did this already (though thank you for the suggestion). So what that does is import the actual look, aka the dds file. What it doesn't do is import the functionality. In Reticle Settings if you were 6.5units from a mob it would register your crosshair as "in melee range" and change that crosshair to whatever you wanted. It let you know this way that you're in melee range. Combat Reticle doesn't have this function, at least not in a working manner. I believe Hostile Target option is what the author was going for but it doesn't work right and it doesn't discriminate from melee range and not melee range.

Zenimax removed in API everything giving information about range (melee or distance).
If someone can confirm. If you read Reticle Settings post i think they were talking about that.
