I'm Currently editing the EQUI_ShortDurationBuffWindow.xml

I Can't Seem to get Bard Song Icons to Move any Direction i'm Changing:

Code:

So is this Location 0 being Far left Size of button right?


I don't get the Decaloffset? and i believe DecalSize is icon size right?


Let me know if i should Post full XML or Screen shot of the Song Window.

if someone can please help me out with this

Thanks, Morte

You can't fix location on buffs and songs, they will load left to right, top to bottom in whatever size window you put them in. The Size is the size of the coloured background for a buff (blue, yellow, red) and the buff timer will appear in the bottom right corner of that sized area. The decal offset is the relative position (within the background) of the top left corner of the buff icon, and the decal size is the size of the buff icon.

So, for a small square buff image with a very narrow border,

<Size>
<X>30</X>
<Y>30</Y>
</Size>
<DecalOffset>
<X>1</X>
<Y>1</Y>
</DecalOffset>
<DecalSize>
<CX>28</CX>
<CY>28</CY>
</DecalSize>

For the same buff image with the timer set below the icon,

<Size>
<X>30</X>
<Y>40</Y>
</Size>
<DecalOffset>
<X>1</X>
<Y>1</Y>
</DecalOffset>
<DecalSize>
<CX>28</CX>
<CY>28</CY>
</DecalSize>

For the same buff image with the background extending to the right so you can add the buff name over it,

<Size>
<X>100</X>
<Y>30</Y>
</Size>
<DecalOffset>
<X>1</X>
<Y>1</Y>
</DecalOffset>
<DecalSize>
<CX>28</CX>
<CY>28</CY>
</DecalSize>

The "location" codes are ignored. If your buff images are 30 wide and high and your buff window is {70} wide, you'll get 2 buffs side by side: if your buff window is {760} wide, you'll get all 25 buffs lined up horizontally. Unless your buff window is less than about {40} pixels high - in which case you'd see nothing, because no buff image fits in the available space (overall window size includes the borders, so the actual size numbers required can vary a bit with the skin for borders).

Below is My Song Window & Buff Window you can see the Icons are off from where i would like them to be.




Song Window Size for TGA:
Width: 256
Height: 128

Song Window Size of Design:
Width: 255
Height: 31

---

Buff Window Size for TGA:
Width: 256
Height: 512

Buff Window Size of Design:
Width: 131
Height: 403

Should i make the TGA size the size of design? there has to be a way i can scoot them icons over into the Box's i Created for them.


Edit:
I Finally got it more less the way i wanted them now.


I think i'm starting to figure this out so the Button Blue Background has to be as big as i want my Spacing between each Icon then i offset it to middle to hide alot of the blue background.

Thanks alot for help

P.S. I also wanted to Add like 14m over Buff Icon or however many Minutes left on buff how would i do this?

Thanks, again
