It hit me a couple of days ago walking to store for some food. You can make a vertical gauge with EQ's ui. Not sure how I came up with but it just popped up in my head how to do it. During the walk I was able to refine it a few times.
It's not pretty to look at the xml code for it and is a hassle to write and to modify afterwards, but it does work. Just going to post the files I made as a test. This is pretty ugly looking casting gauge cause it was just hacked together so I could prove to myself it worked.
If you want to see it in action just throw it into it's own ui file and load it up and cast a spell. Most might see how it's done by looking at the files and seeing it's different pieces but for those that don't I will get around to writing the details of how it works when I figure out how to say it and make it make sense.
Also I think this topic/note needs to be changed -
Things the new UI can't do.
Also with similar techniques you can make a circular compass. I'm going to try and make a basic one soon to show you all and lay groundwork for those more industrious then me to make better ones.
Vertical Gauges are possible!
and one day the vertical gauges can be used without alot of stress.
