Foundry Tactical Combat (FTC) Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.72

by: Atropos [More]

Foundry Tactical Combat is a user interface enhancement for The Elder Scrolls Online designed to give players access to relevant combat data in an easy to process framework which allows them to respond quickly and effectively to evolving combat situations. The multiple components of the FTC addon are designed to restore certain information to the game interface which many gamers may feel is missing from the default minimalistic UI.

The addon is still in active development by Atropos, and will hopefully continue to evolve and improve during the coming weeks and months. If you are a fan of the addon, keep an eye on the main addon page on Tamriel Foundry to ensure you always have the latest version.

FTC Components

Foundry Tactical Combat has six primary components which are each optionally configurable. All UI elements added by FTC can be disabled or repositioned to suit your preferences. Additionally, Foundry Tactical Combat is fully localized for French and German client versions!

Unit Frames – FTC Unit Frames refers to the display of attribute bars and other information pertaining to yourself, your target, and your group members. The FTC frames are designed to be lightweight and informative. The frames show numerical values for your resources and damage shielding, as well as visual indicators for active HoT and DoT effects, your target’s exceute threshold, and more. The unit frames can have a rich set of aesthetic customization options allowing you to achieve the exact look that fits your UI style.

Active Buff Tracking – The Buff Tracking component of FTC displays a configurable list of icons representing the known buff and debuff effects that are currently affecting your character. The ESO addon API does not provide this information for buffs with durations shorter than 30 seconds, but FTC uses an intelligent combination of detection mechanisms to carefully approximate your inventory of active effects. This knowledge can help you make more informed combat decisions, improve your resource management, and optimize your ability rotation.

Combat Log – Foundry Tactical Combat incorporates a text-based combat log which records a history of combat events so that you can review the details of recent encounters. The combat log by default alternates visibility with the ESO chat tab, but can be detached and positioned wherever you desire on-screen. An optional keybinding can be used to quickly toggle the visibility of the combat log.

Scrolling Combat Text – The FTC Scrolling Combat Text component enables real-time display of damage and healing values as they occur in combat as well as a helpful Combat Alerts component that warns your character immediately when significant combat events occur. FTC’s combat text displays the name and icon (when possible) for known sources of damage as well as useful indicators for damage avoidance through shielding, blocking, or dodging. The display style and format of scrolling combat text events can be customized in the settings menu.

Damage Statistics – The Damage Statistics component adds analytical tools to help you examine and improve your combat performance. While in-combat a small DPS meter tracks the length of your current encounter, your cumulative damage-per-second, and your cumulative healing-per-second throughout the fight. After combat has concluded, you can open a full Damage Report which details the composition of your damage and healing by target. These statitics can be linked to your party members in chat using a configurable keybinding or by clicking on the chat icons in the damage report.

Advanced Hotbar – The Advanced Hotbar component improves the default ESO action bar by adding some additional information that is useful in combat. Your current Ultimate pool and your percentage towards the next Ultimate activation is displayed as well as a visual glow indicator behind the ultimate itself which indicates that you are currently generating additional Ultimate in combat. The Advanced Hotbar component also adds an explicit potion cooldown timer so you can know exactly when you will be able to use your next consumable item.

Installation Instructions
To install Foundry Tactical Combat follow these steps. FTC is also supported by Minion, an automated ESO addon management utility.

1) Download FTC_Current.zip to a location of your choosing.
2) Extract the .zip archive into your ESO addons folder found in My Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/Addons/ for Windows users, or Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/Addons. for OS X.
3) You should now have a folder inside Addons named “FoundryTacticalCombat” which contains the addon files.
4) Launch The Elder Scrolls Online. FTC should be automatically enabled. If not, go to the Add-Ons section of the game menu and make sure that the box beside Foundry Tactical Combat is checked.
5) Access the FTC configuration settings by navigating in-game to Settings -> Add-Ons -> FTC, or by simply typing “/ftc” into chat.

Atropos Forum posts: 19 File comments: 147 Uploads: 1	Posted an update which should fix the UI error when long buff / debuff containers overflow. Added a few new German localizations. Also reversed the order of Stamina and Magicka bars in unit frames as requested by a number of users. Last edited by Atropos : 05/07/14 at 07:55 PM.

Good catch elfindreams, the reason I had separate counts was because "Player buffs" are housed in the same table, and the addon does not compute whether or not they are "long" until they are ready to be rendered, so the buff count limit should restrict the container size, not the table size of player buffs. I'll upload a fixed version tonight that resolves this issue.

@FViper, if you are going to post code corrections to improve FTC localization, please post them in English so I can understand what needs changing.

EDIT: I think I have a fix that I'm happy with, just need to get home to test it myself before I feel comfortable pushing it to live.

Bars are missing

Close your game. Uninstall/Delete the complete addon (check the addon directory that you del FoundryTacticalCombat complet)(delete the SavedVariables). Install the new FTC 0.29. Run the game.

ansonsten ging bei mir alles.

Ist ein Fehler im Code. Am einfachsten ist es im Moment dies in der Effects.lua zu ändern:

Code:

		-- Mundus Stones
		if ( string.match( name , "Segen:" ) ) then
			if ( unitTag == 'player' ) then	duration = "P"
			else isValid = false end
		
		-- Ignore Cyrodiil Bonuses
		elseif ( string.match( name , "Kampfgeist^m" ) or string.match( name , "Schriften" ) or string.match( name , "Kaiserlich" ) ) then
			if ( unitTag == 'player' ) then	duration = "P"
			else isValid = false end

Für weitere Buffs einfach die alte (0.75) Effects.lua zur Hand nehmen (nicht einfach drüber kopieren die Datei! Sondern die Code Zeilen anpassen etc.!).

Die Klassensymbole im Frame bekommt ihr so wieder (in die German.lua einfügen.):

Code:

	["Drachenritter^m"]					= "Dragonknight",
	["Drachenritterin^f"]					= "Dragonknight",
	["Nachtklinge^m"]					= "Nightblade",
	["Nachtklinge^f"]					= "Nightblade",
	["Zauberer^m"]						= "Sorcerer",
	["Zauberin^f"]						= "Sorcerer",
	["Templer^m"]						= "Templar",
	["Templerin^f"]						= "Templar",

Ich hab heute leider nicht so viel Zeit gehabt, mir die neue FTC Version genauer anzugucken.

If you comment out line 259 and instead add: Code: if ( num > FTC.vars.NumBuffs ) then break end at line 317 so it looks like: Code: -- Buff or debuff? local buffDebuff = buffs[i].debuff and "Debuffs" or "Buffs" local num = buffs[i].debuff and debCount or count -- Target the appropriate containers local container = isLong and "LongBuffs" or context .. buffDebuff num = isLong and longCount or num if ( num > FTC.vars.NumBuffs ) then break end -- Get the UI elements It will work fine.

I'm going to look into it when I get home tonight and push out a fix (assuming I can determine the root cause of the problem).

@AttorneyAtLawl, I'm glad you figured out a fix, but I can't for the life of me determine exactly why that solved the problem. The error is reported on line 324 of buffs/Functions.lua, which occurs when setting the time remaining label to an individual buff icon:

Code:

newlabel:SetText(label)

Specifically, it's attempting to index a nil value, which means that 'newlabel' is not defined. My initial thought is it could be due to some sort of saved variables conflict, since I changed the maximum number of buff icons supported by default.

Could you let me know if you restore FTC to the released version and completely reboot your client do you still get the same error? If so, at the time you received the error, how many long-duration buffs do you currently have active?

I'm going to keep thinking about this.

I did a bit of digging.
For me it only occurs if I have 8 LongBuffs and it tries to add a 9th (in this case blocking which counts as a LongBuff)

My long buffs are:

The source of the problem appears to be:

Now I haven't started digging to figure out why that is nil but at the time of the problem that is what it happens to be.

EDIT: actually the question on my mind is how is it getting to that point when FTC.vars.NumBuffs is 8

jaax Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I am getting an error on food buff as well. EDIT: To expand on the comment after me. These are the buffs on me when it happened. I had 9 and the food buff added the 10th. I can not escape from the Error with the food buff unless I right click and get ride of the food buff. If I turn Leeching Steikes OFF I am able to eat food and not get the error. However, I can also block with Leeching Strike ON and not get the error. So strange..

Nope, just change some "numbers, TOP, BOTTOM, RIGHT" in frames/controls.lua under health/magicka/stamina/mount bar

Also a skaling option would be great. Now its like a neon warning sign, stabing into your eye ^^

Totally agree with this.

+1

Would be nice if we could adjust the scale and transparency.

Thanks again Atropos!

I was thinking of combining the two also - for Azurah's target frame and FTC playerframe/buffs/combat text. Looks good!
