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

FEATURES:

Eleven configurable reticle modes (including four stealth/disguised modes)
Customize reticle image, color, opacity, scale, rotation, and animation
Overlay mode for composite reticles
73 available reticle images to choose from
Rotation includes plain and pendulum modes
Animation can modulate opacity, saturation, or scale
Interaction mode can indicate empty/blocked items
A variety of pre-made themes for easy and fast configuration
Ten quick slots to store and retrieve configuration sets
Reticle brightness control (with hot-key mapping)

Anti-flicker reticle mode filter
High-performance implementation, CPU-intensive features can be disabled
Comprehensive configuration panel with "live" reticle preview

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.

Hey, yes that's possible, just not sure when I will have time to add it. I'll put it on my to do list.

Hi, glad you like the add-on! Unfortunately, I don't have a controller available for testing. Does this happen all the time, or just occasionally? There are two keybindings for combat reticle (increase/decrease reticle brightness, under Controls/Keybindings/User Interface) - maybe clear these and see if that helps (they're not assigned by default). Also, just for fun. Can you try weapon swapping when this happens? I've noticed that sometimes (very rarely) the reticle goes "dead" like you described, but weapon swapping brings it back to life. This is a ZOS bug as it affects aspects of the reticle I don't modify.

-A

I'll be sure to give it a try when I log on next! Thanks for the reply, I'll update you on if I figure out anything!

EDIT:

Okay, so I figured it out! "Show Interactive Text" was disabled on the profile I was using, and that caused me to not be able to interact with the controller. Simply re-enabling it allows it to work again!

Once again, thanks for the great mod, glad to have it back up and running!!

Good find! I'll take a look at the code around the interactive text. Could be that it breaks mouse/keyboard too.

Unfortunately, yes. Due to changes to support theme modules, I had to break compatibility with old saved settings. Sorry for the inconvenience. There is a short cut to making (or recreating in this case) a theme: if you configure one reticle mode and want to use it as the basis for your other modes, you can duplicate it under the "copy-paste settings". Select the "copy from" and "paste to" modes, then click the "duplicate" button. This is how I create new themes.

Can you make the addon open to translation please ?

I'd like to support translations, but I've never done that. What's involved with the process?

There's a page on translations here: http://wiki.esoui.com/How_to_add_localization_support

Basically, if you have path/lang/$(language).lua in your text file, it will load the file with the proper language prefix. That file is really just like any other lua file, but you know if it's loaded the user is playing in that language. The wiki suggests using ZO_createString but I mostly just use a table.

From a coding standpoint, localizations aren't difficult, but they can take a lot of time. You'll need to go through all of your files and remove strings that are displayed, and replace them with a reference to the string you want, whether that's a table reference or GetString. Once that is done, ask the users who asked for a translation for translations. Or head over to the translations forum.

Thanks, and glad you like it! I can't take credit for the idea behind the new modes - another user (forget who) requested it a long time ago. Just took me a while to get around to it.

Aetheron Forum posts: 32 File comments: 81 Uploads: 1	Version 2 released Hi All, I just published version 2.0 which includes two new combat modes (someone requested this a long time ago), support for reticle theme modules, and API version update. I have not been able to recreate the hung combat state in Morrowind with this version, so maybe it was a ZOS issue that has been fixed? (If anyone runs into this problem again, please let me know how it happened so I can try to recreate it.) -A
