How do I edit my spellbar from 10 to 12 slots?
 

I've encountered a very basic problem (I hope anyway). I like everything about the UI I currently use but it will only display 10 out of the 12 spell gems on beta. I need to go in and edit whatever file so I can get all 12 slots displayed. Anyone able to point me in the direction of a quick easy solution? I know nothing about fixing UIs but I assumed this would be a simple problem to solve.

Are you using location tags or using the Vertical auto spacing?

I'm not sure what that means but I did leave out a detail that might be important- my spell bar is split up into two rows of 5, one of top of the other going horizontally. I don't know if that matters or not but thought I'd throw it out there. If you tell me how to check whether or not I'm using Vertical auto spacing or location tags, I'd be glad to look and report back.

I'm guessing its using location tags. Can you attach the file here?

just delete the EQUI_CastSpellWnd.xml out of your UI folder and the defaut one will load automatically. I imagine it will work fine.

Well I tried deleting the spellcastwnd xml file and now it loads up the regular default spell bar..that's not what I'm needing though. I just want the spell bar I was using with the UI to work with all 12 spell slots. I don't see a place to attach files here or I would Savok.

I can't attach a file, but see this link -- this is EXACTLY what I need but with all 12 slots enabled. Aruman's spell bar

If anyone is able to tell me how to expand that spell bar from 10 slots to 12 slots via editing, I would be very grateful. :nana:

1. Hit Post Reply.
2. In the additional options at the bottom - Manage attachments.
3. Add your xml file (you may need to zip it first).
4. Hit reply.

I see, thanks much. Spellbar file is uploading now.

The only change I'm trying to do is the expansion from 10 to 12 spell slots so I will be fully ready for Underfoot release!

This one should work.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That is perfect. Here's a big straight man hug for you. :D

Was it simply a matter of adding in two extra lines of code somewhere?

LOL..

you can google or go to download WinMerge and download the comparision program.

put in your old window and savok's fix.. it will show you the comparison ( show you what he did ).

I pick his brain all the time :)

SmileyFAAce :D

I'm missing a good chunk from all the picking, its true.

nice spell bar :) but any chance anyone could edit the 10 slot horizontal to have 12 :) i have tried and got the spell slots to show up but im having issues with the little book icon at the end not showing up on screen :(

I have it done, just want to test it.

edit: here it is! It will auto resize depending on how many AAs you put into retention (8 for reg, then adds 1 slot per AA)

That was fast! hehe thanks Savok ) looks good and works great so far!

ohh how about..
 

Hi folks, i am looking for someone willing to mod an existing spellbar to be 12 slot.

Current bar is arched ten slot spellbar

This one is a great for ranger's and other classes that have aimable beam type spells. I have it center screen and it allows me to aim my BOA spell.

I did send a PM to the authour, but recieved no response.

Yes I can add 2 extra gems at the bottom at the sides if that's OK? I'll take a look tonight and post an update as I can.

Edit: I have the backgrounds covered, just need to do the xml now.

I hope this is what your looking for. Let me know if anything is missing please.

I adjusted the right side background so it sat correctly, I also re aligned the spell gems so they matched better also. Hope you like it!

Man thats perfect , many many thanks!

Your welcome, glad you like it.

Can i be greedy and ask for another? My wife loves and uses this one..

vertical spell bar

I hope this one would be easier as it seem simpler.

Not the same one but i added the 2 slots and tested in beta so it works.

Oh and it was pretty easy first time ive ever edited any part of the UI but its trial and error had to search through the eqtype numbers starting at 139 to find the right ones for the spell names to show in the new slots but lucky they were 149 and 150. Other then that its just simple adding 2 more slots and making the window 2 slots taller.

Sorry been away, glad Mark got it sorted for you.

Thanks guys, very much.

Actually, that didn't work for me. It looks like the two new spell buttons you put in used the wrong <spelldrawtemplate> (s).

Here is my edited version which seems to work, each of the spell cast gems appearing the same.

Now my question is, is there a way to add a label to each button (just above or below it) which shows the button's #? I don't know if spell gems have that label built-in or not, and I don't want to re-create the wheel by making a window that doesn't auto-expand with fixed position text labels.

*edit* I think I found something:
<Label item="CSPW_Spell0_No">
I guess I need to play with this a bit. Will let you know what I figure out!

I can assure you that it works, your not seeing the extra 2 gems because you haven't spent AAs into the skill to have them. i looked at your xml file and it looks to be exactly the same. I tested mine in beta and it works, which parts did you change?

XML with the LayoutVertical or LayoutHorizontal do not work well with spell text unless you start to put in 2 different sets of xml info (2 different layouts) and then offset the info. Is it possible? yes. Is it worth it? No. This is why i have optional downloads with the normal <location> tabs for the window with spell text.

I played around with this some and decided to make a compact version, with the description in smaller font and including the spell gem # in a larger font.

Here it is:

I didn't say I didn't see the spell gems, I said they looked different. I have the AAs.
Look at what I posted and what you posted again and you will see a difference where I indicated, specifically

<SpellGemDrawTemplate>
<Holder>A_BtnPressed</Holder>
<Background>A_BtnFlyby</Background>
<Highlight>A_SpellGemHighlight</Highlight>
</SpellGemDrawTemplate>

instead of
<SpellGemDrawTemplate>
<Holder>A_SpellGemHolder</Holder>
<Background>A_SpellGemBackground</Background>
<Highlight>A_SpellGemHighlight</Highlight>
</SpellGemDrawTemplate>

I see the difference now. I loaded it on default and saw the gems there and had copied the 2 new slots from default also. I didn't even think that someone had changed the names of the gem slots. Your right there was a code difference that I didn't see.

Good spot (but something I shouldn't assume on other people's windows).
