Hey guys.

Could someone take a little while to earn the love and respect of all archers on all servers and have a simple overlay that shows what mode your bow is in?

As in, Fast Missles/Arcing Missles and Lead Target/Not Leading Target.

Just something that sits over the top of the accuracy bars and toggles the words as you hit the keys.

Since there is not a 100% obvious difference of what you are using this would be of great help.

Of course it should be a check box in the GUI (as in the Repeat Attacks) however those requests have fallen on dead ears.

Thanks.

I spoke with decal dev about that last Saturday.

With the decal.Adapter its at the moment not possible, cauz the CharacterOptions2 are not supportted at the moment.

So if you put the 2 options on 2 hotkeys, at the moment no EventHandler will fire until you press APPLY and then only CharacterOptions1 from the Protocoll will be triggered.

So many technical facts - but Arkayas built the stuff in the decal.core now und i will try to make this easy archer plugin soon...

This is a good idea and indeed turbine should build this into the client themself.

I did build this into my plugin AmmoGimp:

The hud does update when the settings change.

The plugin is just is using the decal magic and not more clever then any other plugin,
but I decided to make it a seperate plugin and so I did remove it from Ammogimp again.

Use the link in my signature to download.

I have been using it for a little over a day now and it rocks.

No more guessing what I am using when the bow is out.

Making it really easy to switch up in PvP as well and keep track of it.
