[Suggestion] Skill window additions

[Tukaram]

I was wondering if any of you wonderful mod'ders might know how to change the settings on the skill window. I would really love to have the caps and modified displayed when the window opens.

I have the skill window open at startup but then I have to go in and display the cap and modified every time.

The skill window from UOA is one of the big things I miss (that and the bags-hotsell, undress etc). The UOA skills window could be arranged by skill points, lock, etc.

Just wondering, thanks.

You have to make a macro or mod UI.

You can make a macro like this
But you can't use macro on startup
You have to mod UI to do it too.

Open Skill window

script if(SkillsWindow.SkillDataMode==0) then SkillsWindow.SkillDataMode=1 end
script if(SkillsWindow.SkillCapMode==0) then SkillsWindow.SkillCapMode=1 end
script SkillsWindow.ToggleSkillsWindow()

Open Skill Tracker

script if(SkillsWindow.SkillDataMode==0) then SkillsWindow.SkillDataMode=1 end
script if(SkillsWindow.SkillCapMode==0) then SkillsWindow.SkillCapMode=1 end
script SkillsWindow.SkillsTrackerToggleLButtonUp()

Cool thanks. Now I get to play with it and see if I can make a mod. I can manipulate code pretty well, I just don't how to write it anymore. (My programming classes were on DOS 1.1.) I have let technology pass me by...

I made a macro with each of those in it's own command line box, I made one macro with both in one command line box, and I made two macros, one for each in a command line. I couldn't get it to work.

What do I need to do with these??

I am actually at least halfway computer savvy but I have a long way to go on this UI bit.

I would like to see the skills>custom tab open by default.

...

I think at one point during KR we had it so that the Skills window would open to the last tab that was active... not sure if that holds true for EC or not.

As for setting it to Custom, I think I found it... let me try a quick test... ok, yes that worked.

Grab SkillsWindow.LUA from the Default Source directory and open it in a text editor (Notepad 2 is best probably)

Go to line 121 and change:

data.activeTab = 1

to

data.activeTab = 8

Or if you don't have line numbers look down about 100 or so lines till you see:

-- Set the active tab to "MISC"
	data = {}
	data.activeTab = 1
	data.numTabs = table.getn(tabContents)
	--Debug.PrintToDebugConsole(L"SkillsWindow.Initialize: data.numTabs =  "..StringToWString(tostring(data.numTabs)))

And change the 1 to an 8.

That will open to the custom tab. I'll see if I can throw in the old KR code to make it based on the last tap open.

for the life of me I cant get this to work I have changed it in every place i can find even the default zip file and it refuses to work! Its not really a big deal just bugs me when i cant get things to work!

Thanks Decors!

I figured out a macro for it. Three command lines with one these lines in each:
script if(SkillsWindow.SkillDataMode==0) then SkillsWindow.SkillDataMode=1 end
script if(SkillsWindow.SkillCapMode==0) then SkillsWindow.SkillCapMode=1 end
script SkillsWindow.SkillsTrackerToggleLButtonUp()


Works great! I tried with a mod but it didn't want to cooperate. But clicking one macro is easy enough.

Apologize for the delay. I had a bad cold.

I just noticed actually you don't need if statement.
So you can use single line command.

script SkillsWindow.SkillDataMode=1 SkillsWindow.SkillCapMode=1 SkillsWindow.SkillsTrackerToggleLButtonUp()

I can't test it right now but probably you can paste it into one command action.

 

[Tukaram]

It works with the one line. Thanks a lot.

Good suggestion, i will intigrate a save function for this in my interface, hope to get it ready until the next release.
