Default player info

Yeah, that picture was what I was wanting only without the group info and with as little distance between the % numbers as possible.

As far as anaglog bars go, you do make a good suggestion epiphany. That said maybe a bit larger double gauge with hp above and mana below with markers ever 5% with numbers and that is probably about twice as long or more than the current analog bars...(just an idea)

My roommate and I were discussing this very point today and he stated that he would very much like to see a melee screen that has gauges like you find in a car for the Speedometer and RPM gauges..only with various HP/Mana/XP readouts....I wasn't even sure if you can make this in xml yet...

Here it is back in the player window, with the changes you requested. You'll notice something odd. The Current HP (top line) and the Max HP (second line) aren't even with each other. In fact, the top line isn't even with any of the other lines. The reason behind this is because the Current HP eq_type is justified to the right, whereas most everything else is justified to the left.

What this means, is as your HPs increase, the Current HP number will grow to the left, and the Max HP number will grow to the right. You can see this illustrated in the images below. This is what the window would look like with 509 hps and 1509 hps. I have the Current HP tag positioned as far left as it can go, any further would run the risk of you losing the farthest left-hand number if you ever went above 9999 hps.





Based on the other posts, this is exactly what you described. If this is what you want, then i'll go ahead and post the file for it. If not, lemme know what changes you want

I've never actually tried to change it, but isn't the HPs field justified to the right because it has the <AlignRight> field set to true? Did you try setting <AlignRight>false</AlignRight>?

I can't believe I overlooked such a simple switch, geez. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.
