For all you old-timers who remember Moputu's Dysfunctional plugin, I have created a combined spellbar and hotbar replacement.

It requires the Virindi Bundle (specifically: Virindi Views, and Virindi Hotkey System) so if you want to try it, you will need those installed.

The features: Hotkeys for buttons 1234567890-= (if you use - and = for selecting things, you'll need to either change the hotkeys in VHS or change AC's hotkeys) along with Ctrl+1234567890-= and Shift-1234567890-= are all icons you can drag either items or spells into, right from your inventory or spellbook or spellbar. You cannot drag armor from the paperdoll onto icons, although you can drag armor from slots.

Using something will attempt to equip or unequip it. There is no current way to cast spells out of a wand at the moment.
Healing kits, lockpicks, food of all kinds, mana stones and arrows will all automatically replenish themselves from your inventory if more are available.

Alt-1234567890-= switches pages.

You'll want to hold down the ctrl button to show the expansion buttons.

Also there are hotkeys that correspond roughly to the spellbar (insert - move down a page, pageup - move up a page, page down - go right, delete - go left) along with new hotkeys (home - move up a row, end - move down a row) and the button to use an item is now SCROLL LOCK (Note: if you use Virindi Tank, this is also a VT hotkey).

You can get the current release at http://www.limitengineering.net/decal/DefectivePreview.msi

Screenshots:



And a preview of things to come:

the wording on the title tread is a little misleading, at FIRST glance i thought your Preview of a new plugin suggested that this plugin was Defective, not NAMED defective. maybe Preview of Dysfunctional replacement plugin???

That is awesome, gonna go play around with it now.

Is there anyway to make it display salvage workmanship on individual bags?

Not at the moment. I'm curious how that would be useful, though?

When you have all your packs full of salvage, it would make it easy to find say two bags of five, a bag of six, and a few of nine or ten. I know it would make my in-game experience easier, but I don't doubt I keep more salvage than most people though too.

VI was working on the functionality at some point, but I think dropped it, haven't seen anything since an old screenshot months ago.

I understand that, but I'm curious how displaying it in the replacement hotbar would be helpful unless you're adding multiple types of the same salvage to it.. which I guess would work, but isn't something I actually ever thought about before.

hggm: My CompHud plugin* also can auto-sort stuff. Might help some already if the salvage is sorted happy
Also, stay tuned, I will release another plugin in a few days that will make organizing your salvage mules much easier.

Haz: I was thinking beyond just the hotbar, hoping more for the functionality to be added to the main pack and packs. Not saying it could be done, again, just following up on a old screenshot that showed this type of tech.

If it was just for the hotbar, then yeah, I guess it wouldn't be viable. Never hurts to ask, and I will still be using the hotbar replacement.


Lino: Thank you, I'll be sure to check it out.

ok so, i really dig the plugin sofar, having the bar up there for all my axes will be great, i just have one issue.

How do i tell them apart without the background showing me whether it is Fire Rend, or Armor Rend?

Is there a way to incorporate the background of the icon?

edit: also, a way to lock the bar so i don't accidentally drag an icon to another slot in the heat of battle grin

I'll try to get a lock in. No way to make drawing the underlay look decent, unfortunately, but I'll see if I can find a way to make properties like rending a little more visible.

Plugin looks/works great!
Only suggestion I have, is it possible for future releases to add in more bars? I know 3 is good because of the alt and shift commands, but even some more bars, possibly a second set not bound to the first (but either way) would be amazing, even if you can only use them by clicking the items.

I think that would make me a lot more likely to use the plugin, because without more than 3 bars, there's no way I could play while hiding the original spellbar. I have all three rows filled with my bolts, arcs, streaks, vulns, and heals, but have quite a few spells missing, and can't add in wands, mana charges, or anything which would be really nice.

Like I said, either way it's a great plugin! Can't wait for a future release :-)

Thanks Haz!
I've been testing it out and came across a wierd problem.
I logged on my main toon and theres no Icons in VTank bar. I know its active because I cant use my DELETE/END/PageDown keys, and VHS sees the pluggin but I cant acces the 2 windows of Defective. Now on another toon (same computer same acct)I can use the plugin. Is there any text commands to open up Defective option window?

Thanks in advance & GREAT PLUGIN!

Stupid question of the night: How do I un-pin the hotkey bars? I hit the "pin" button just to see what it does, now the bars are stuck in the middle of my screen and I can't figure out how to move them.

Don't feel bad, I had to ask Virindi the same thing. Hold down the Ctrl button and the window titles for all pinned virindi view windows will appear - you can click the pin icon and it will unpin.
