Question Adding Combat Duration Bar

Hey all,

I can't seem to understand how to do something. I have added several things to my UI before but this time it's not working.

I wanted to add the Guage for time remaining on a disc. to my player window so I can just glance at it (and since melees don't need a mana bar anyway). However, when I went to add it my UI breaks and I can't understand why this is so different.

Can someone help?

Thanks

first guess would be that theres some sort of hard code that doesnt allow that guage to be in a different window.

Well, what I did was the following steps (which worked for other guages but not this one)

1) Copied the guage items including the type (which I think is 26) into the area in my player window XML file where the Mana bar used to go.

2) I included this same label in the pieces section at the bottom of the file so it would be included.

3) I removed the old pieces for the mana bar so it would not be included anymore.

Any other ideas?

Thumbs up Got it

I figured it out. If you move that particular guage than you have to remove all of it's instances from the Combat XML file. It can't co-exist between 2 files it seems.

The better option is to change its name and screenid values, if it has a valid EQType it should still work with a new name. Cutting it out of the parrent window causes those red "not compatible" messages in most cases.
