But I'm not happy with the mana bar. I put the percentage of mana available right smack in the center of it. Looks great for my casters! But for meleers it's just a number. There's no empty mana bar, nothing to indicate what the number is for. Just a big old cipher. Is it possible to make a mana bar that'd show up if the player has no mana? Remember, this has to work with both casters and meleers. Thanks for your suggestions! This is how it looks for a caster. The purple bar under the name is the casting bar. For a meleer, the blue bar disappears completely but a "0" prints in the center. Ick. Last edited by Panamah : 08-03-2002 at 05:37 PM.

Just like the removal of the Spell gems for Melee classes. __________________ Sithr, 65th Transcendent Officer/Leader of Chronology Mithaniel Marr http://www.chronology-guild.org/

Going to play with this ... i will post back if i figure it out

i did it

yup the following works this is the MINIMUM amount of code you use

Code:

	<Gauge item = "Cast_Blank">
		<ScreenID>Cast_Blank</ScreenID>
		<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
		<Location>
			<X>1</X>
			<Y>113</Y>
		</Location>
		<Size>
			<CX>116</CX>
			<CY>8</CY>
		</Size>
		<GaugeOffsetY>0</GaugeOffsetY>
		<EQType>30</EQType>
		<GaugeDrawTemplate>
			<Background>A_GaugeBackground</Background>
			<EndCapLeft>A_GaugeEndCapLeft</EndCapLeft>
			<EndCapRight>A_GaugeEndCapRight</EndCapRight>
		</GaugeDrawTemplate>
	</Gauge>

you must reber in your pices bit to list this one before your actual bar!
