BetterDungeonFinder

Version: 1.2

by: MelanAster [More]

BetterDungeonFinder:
This addon aims to provide a more visually appealing and efficient dungeon finder, addressing some pain points I encounter during gameplay (others may also experience).

How to Use:
1、A dungeon-style button will appear in the center of screen when first use this addon，like CraftStore or AlphaGear.

Press the button to open the new finder.

2、Adjust the position of button and finder by drag, and Lock UI in the setting of this addon (optional).
3、Also, you can give a keybind to open/close finder in Addon Keybinds (optional).
4、Select the dungeon and queue!

Features:

A more visually appealing and practical layout.
Emphasize the dungeon of undaunted pledge via matching quest (need to accept quests first).
Highlight the current dungeons which drop Mask Style in a very convoluted way.
Show the info of skill point, style master, HM, SR, ND and Trifecta achievements, gears collections and provide set items link.
The list of selected dungeons will not be cleared after completing dungeon. The list of the dungeon of undaunted pledge will be adjusted automatically.
Select them all, and Just repeat Queue!!!
The order of dungeons was rearranged, sorted by level requirements or release time. You could customize it, by exchanging the key of dungeons in ActivityID.lua.
Switch quests automatically in undaunted dungeons.

Required Libraries:

Known Bug:
Switch LFG role followed by starting queue in addon, it will cause the wrong display of role in Group UI.
I guess that it skips the time point of updating UI and locked by dungeon searching.
It doesn't matter, the new finder of this addon shows the actual role.

Contant:
This is my first time writing an addon for ESO. I learned a lot from Undaunted Pledge Queuer, Pithka's Achievement Tracker, Circonians TextureIt and try some other ways to get undaunted dungeon and setids related to dungeon.I have tested this addon in en and zh, and guessed the language won't affect its functions. But I can't guarantee that the interface of finder will be neat and beautiful in all languages.

If you have any suggestion or bug to report, feel free to send me mails in-game on EU or comments/messages here.

1.2:
Fix the error of displaying the gear of undaunted dungeon
Add popup windows for HM, SR, ND, TR achievements by clicking the corresponding icons
Add popup windows for style master achievements by clicking the title of dungeons
Add the function of selecting all the dungeons with skill points left by double-clicking any sky shard icon

1.1:
Add display of SR, ND and Trifecta achievements
Add display of daily undaunted pledges, depending on UndauntedDaily

1.0:
Fix a wrong SetID for Selene's Web.
Fix the function of identifying dungeons with mask styles.
Support localized translation and font alternatives, but only zh done now. Feel free to process the files in the lang for translation.
Adjusted some UIs.
It can automatically track the quests when u go into the undaunted dungeons. It is enabled by default and can be turned off on the settings page.

0.51:
Fix the fold structure again:((maybe i should try another zip software...)

0.5:
It can automatically highlight the current dungeon which drop mask style via the onsale weapon packs. Realizing this with no sense is actually very difficult. I'm not sure if it can be corrected without reloading addons when weapon packs withdraw. As accompanying result, the display of announcement or not will be related to whether daily rewards are obtained.

0.4:
U can hide button and use keybind only now.
U can set pure black background now for some complains about visibility.
Adjust UI for en, zh, de, fr, ru and es. Some dungeon names in some languages are too long, I tried to minimize overlapping issues.
Open/close window through SCENE_MANAGER, make it more like other menus of game or addons.

0.31：
It seems that fonts don't display in some status, tried to fix it.
But I'm not sure if font-related addon have an impact, I've never used this kind of addon.

0.2:
I did something stupid, I didn't put the plugin folder in, just compressed it.:eek:
Terribly sorry about that. U can delete the files according to zip and update to v0.2

0.1:
First release

Your UI in its current form is 100% not it. Its SUPER bad.

And both addons above show you how to do it correctly. Like why are your dungeons not sorted by name .. or pledge status .. or completion status ?!

I think it's just a matter of preference and habit
I absolutely hate the original scroll menu
So BDF is created for me and others dislike the orginal one.
Why the original UI bad ?
1, Need to open too many secondary menus to queue
2. Roller type means that dungeons are not fixed in a certain position.
Once you get used to BDF, it's much faster to follow the location and background image than to read the title of dungeons.
3, I do not think that normal and veteran difficulty of one dungeon, should be placed so far apart
Especially if I want to queue a series of dungeons at the same time, randomly pick one to fight
4. I don't think sorting by name is best, especially when ESO also does it in other non-English languages.
So I chose to sort basic dungeons by unlock level, and release time for DLC (A couple in one dlc).
This way you can find which dungeons are newer, especially when they just were released.
5. Every time I finish dungeon, the original UI will empty the options
That is very painful when I repeatedly brush dungeons

I could go on all day complaining about the shortcomings of the original UI
Maybe you can try to experience BDF for a while, to compare it with the original one

U can handle it temporarily by changing the string in lang/en.lua

Sorry for that, my fault.

I miss the folder of addon, and fix it in v0.2.
