What is it?
This addon adds an information bar on the screen, chocked full of information gadgets that update in real-time. Gadgets can be easily dragged and dropped in whatever order you prefer, you can set thresholds, go practically textless, allowing the icons themselves to tell you what you need to know. There are tons of options to configure each gadget.

Main Features
  • The Elder Bar can be unlocked, dragged, and dropped wherever you'd like it.
  • Individual gadgets can be unlocked, dragged, and dropped in any order.
  • It's actually two bars in one: you can have different icons on the bar while playing PvE content than you do in PvP.
  • Every gadget has options to display information however you like it. Want to go without text at all? Go for it! Want to set custom thresholds to warn you about weapon charges? Sure, it does that too. Want things to pester you when your durability goes too low? It can even handle that.
  • Timers can be automatically hidden when not in use. No need to clutter up the bar if you're not actually researching things, waiting for a cooldown timer, or you're not a vampire, right?
  • Every gadget has a tooltip that can display even more information, just by pointing at it with the mouse.
  • The Elder Bar can hide itself automatically, if that's your thing. Choices include talking to NPCs, visiting the bank, crafting, and more.
  • The bar can be scaled from 50% to 150% of it's normal size. You can also set bar opacity and the font.
  • Want to know when you're actually in combat? An optional setting turns the bar red when you are in combat.
  • Track mount training times across multiple characters. You can choose whether to track a character or not. Automatically stops tracking characters with mounts at maximum.
  • Track gold across multiple characters. You can choose whether to track a character or not.
  • Icons come in two variations: classic white and color. All icons have been fine-tuned to match. You won't find a mismatch assortment of colored icons, which makes seeing what's going on that much easier.
  • Sometimes coloring text just isn't enough to grab your attention. There are six different pulse settings to draw your attention to gadgets, when a critical threshold has been met: fade in, fade out, fade in/out, slow blink, fast blink, or none.

* Added new gadget: Mundus Stone

CHANGES
General Settings:
* The font can now be changed for gadget text.
* Consolidated pulse options so that one option controls all gadgets.
* The bar can be moved to a different layer so that it either appears on top of, or under, other parts of the UI.
Clock Gadget:

This release was named "the-elder-bar-master" in the archive, and it wouldn't appear in the addons list. If I rename it to TEB in my addons folder, it will detect and work properly.

This appears to be because the important files in the folder (TEB.lua and maybe TEB.txt and TEB.xml) don't have the same name as the folder they are in.

Once I got it working, I gave the new features a spin. The largest concern is that its combat detection function breaks if you use a Wayshrine to change zones completely.

I outran an aggro'd Durzog in Deshaan and took a Wayshrine to Rawl'kha. Once I loaded in, I noticed that the addon failed to notice that I broke combat via Fast Travel and stayed red. And this is besides the fact that the bar ignores transparency settings when its red.

One last thing I did was look at the lua file and combine both "needed" and "collected" skyshard functions into a single solitary function so it displays "0/3" (collected/needed). This is for testing purposes and it works so far, but I can show you how I did that if you want (it's not complicated). It may have to wait until after the hurricane near me passes by however.

Could do this with Azurah mod too but I haven't used it for years nor have I tried if it still works as it seems not been updated for sometime (havent played for years, just came back after vanilla launch).

Azurah works fine, btw, and Bandits UI also can move default elements.

Using the custom UI scale option does indeed cause the widgets to go out of alignment with each other - the issue drcolombo mentioned. It starts hardly noticeable, but gets more misaligned with each bump up in UI scale. Maybe it's the way in which they designed the UI elements to scale that causes pixel misalignment. It's the only thing preventing me from using this great mod, though, because the default UI text is just too small for me to comfortably read at 1440p =\.
Hello,

I've actually fixed the vertical alignment in the development copy. I misunderstood how it worked, I think. Looking at how addons work in relation to the action bar, I think I can safely bump the action bar up automatically (or not, your choice) when the bar is at the bottom of the screen. It would work pretty much how it does now for the compass when the bar is at the top of the screen.

If you'd like to try out the current development version of The Elder Bar -- and possibly confirm if vertical alignment indeed looks better -- then feel free to download the development copy from GitHub.

You're welcome. To answer your "questions", I'll point out these particulars in the quirks.

RAETIA Info Hub really does have the capacity to report ping values higher than "999". I don't know exactly how its author pulled it off, but it can report ping values as high as 4000 (as unplayable as that is). Though it did involve using "local Latency = GetLatency()" and formatting it to look pretty.

They're separate options. Though looking at it, you could have the display for the "Collected" option print it out as "<Collected>/3".

Nope. I'm talking about when the game flags you as being in combat. A display so you know if you annoyed a mob/target (by attacking it or just being too close).
Thanks for all the replies! I'll add these all to my backlog and I'll see what I can do. GetLatency() appears to be the stock way of pulling ping from the ESO API. It returns the latency in milliseconds. With a little testing, I was able to spike it up to 5,000, so it definitely returns a number. Thanks for giving me the call I needed for that one. I also found the API call for FPS.

You're welcome. To answer your "questions", I'll point out these particulars in the quirks.

RAETIA Info Hub really does have the capacity to report ping values higher than "999". I don't know exactly how its author pulled it off, but it can report ping values as high as 4000 (as unplayable as that is). Though it did involve using "local Latency = GetLatency()" and formatting it to look pretty.

They're separate options. Though looking at it, you could have the display for the "Collected" option print it out as "<Collected>/3".

Nope. I'm talking about when the game flags you as being in combat. A display so you know if you annoyed a mob/target (by attacking it or just being too close).

Hi all,

I am back from vacation a bit early. With three days of tropical storms and everyone sick (somehow except for me) we decided to cut it short.

There's an option in the settings for that, unless that's not what you're referring to.

Yes, this is an unfortunate side effect of me trying to mash someone else's example code into TEB before I knew what I was doing and I never went back to fix things. It'll be corrected soon.

Agreed, this one bugs me in the way it's handled. I'll be at least combining level/CP points together in the same fashion as the newer gadgets, so there are choices in how it's displayed.

I am adding item durability, along with repair cost, in the next version. However, it won't be tracking repair costs over time the way Info Bar does. But with the initial work on the gadget out of the way, I can look into it.

Any thoughts on adding an FPS and/or a ping display? The alternative (Info Bar) calls the stock vanilla modules for these and they can be a bit inaccurate. The vanilla ping bar capping at "999+" instead of telling you exactly how high your ping really is during a lag spike (most players believe "999+" is enough by itself).

Setting that aside, I've noted these:
  • The Skyshard display lacks a formatting option: "0/3" (collected/needed).
  • The gold module says it displays character gold, but it's adding your banked gold too instead of showing only your character gold.
  • The character level module displays both level and CP. Can just show only your CP if you're at level cap already (and only your true level if you aren't level capped)?
  • There's no way to track armor repair costs with this addon. It was handy in RAETIA Info Hub.

This addon looks like it could be a nice alternative to RAETIA Info Hub so far, besides a few quirks that I have listed.

Also if you want some suggestions for something to add in, multi-character support would be cool too

For example when you hover over your gold on the bar, you would see how much gold your alts have and the total + bank.

And then there's /played

Could do this with Azurah mod too but I haven't used it for years nor have I tried if it still works as it seems not been updated for sometime (havent played for years, just came back after vanilla launch).

Thanks
Do you mind sending a screenshot? I can definitely add an option.

I've added it to my issue tracker, located here: https://github.com/Eldrni/the-elder-bar/issues

Everyone feel free to add issues as they find them. Also, feel free to pull the develop branch and try out the (possibly broken) next release.

I'll be back in 10 days. Have a good week, everyone!
