Combat Ring NOTES:NOTE: IF you want to Map these to Hotkeys on your Keyboard.
Open your User.ini file located in the bin folder.
Find Aliases[109]
Change this Aliases 109 -116 to look like this: NOTE: You can use any unbound aliases, I think 109 is the first one by default.
Code:
Aliases[109]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_ref_combat1",Alias="CombatHotkey01")
Aliases[110]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_ref_combat2",Alias="CombatHotkey02")
Aliases[111]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_ref_combat3",Alias="CombatHotkey03")
Aliases[112]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_ref_combat4",Alias="CombatHotkey04")
Aliases[113]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_ref_combat5",Alias="CombatHotkey05")
Aliases[114]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_ref_combat6",Alias="CombatHotkey06")
Aliases[115]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_ref_combat7",Alias="CombatHotkey07")
Aliases[116]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_ref_combat8",Alias="CombatHotkey08")
Now You should have some more bindable hot key slots in your controls settings, at the bottom of the list.
These will be for your combat ring, with number 1 being the top slot, and continuing clockwise.
If you do not want to use the CombatHotkeys, you can just remove it from the index.xml file

---------------------12.7----------------------------
* Added invite and leave buttons to the group window.
* added clickablity to the compass clicking will now execute /loc
* moved the duration on the buff window to the left side, and fixed spacing some so more will fit on screen vertically.
My original UI mod was a mod of Luno's bar, then later I picked up Parmon's Boxed Interface, and have been using that as my base for any changes.
Most of the coding for my windows was done using one of those 2 other people's windows as a base, occasionally I would use one from the default folder, and make it all my own.
The graphics are either from Parmon's Boxed.tga, the default parts from the game, or my own tga. The bars i use were originally from an old ui file already in the game, the casting bar picture is one i took as a screen shot of a light in Hathor Zhi, then edited it out with The Gimp.
My background images for all the windows were taken by making a blank window with a background and "frameall" then i changed some of the coloring, and chopped and arranged some boarders for the defensive target window. About the only original graphic I made was the casting fill bars.
I also incorporated the mini healer bar, and buff window I had previously worked on.
