Okay, enough people have wanted this long enough I have ironed out the worst of the glitches.

First off:
You need Decal 2.9.6.4 for this release. If you're not currently running 2.9.6.4, it's probably not in your best interest to install it just for this plugin.

You also need Virindi Hotkey System and Virindi Views (part of the Virindi Bundle).

It is pretty useless without Virindi HUDs for the Chat HUD as you can't chat in full screen without it.

Defective (one of my plugins) is good for a spellbar replacement so you can play without the AC spellbar enabled.

Expect glitches when toggling full screen off while a panel is open. If you would like to reset the UI state, turn off full screen and resize the chat window, that should put all the panels back in their proper location.

Toggle fullscreen by clicking the icon that replaces the help ?, or by pressing F2. You can change the hotkey in VHS if you desire.

Also, the top bar will never go away. It is there to stay.

Oh goodness .. (in a good way)

I need to test this out, this weekend ..

(My work week was all too busy and I need some getaway fun stuff to do this weekend ..)

Awesome I got it to work with a few minor problems.

1. when using chat1 (which is only one unless I exit full screen) cant use the ENTER key to send tells

2. When I ID someone/something window jumps and cant id (will have to toggle to view)

- Any possible way to get another ID window?

3. which has nothing to do with plugin....gotta set up my spells more effiently LOL (been using bar way too long)

4. Now I cant edit Alinco 1 settings it blanked it out when I upgraded decal.


Overall....Cant wait until u get rid of STAT bars lol so I can use V's!

Awesome job Hazridi! Keep it up!


A+

Dark Coil, you need to actually read my post, as you clearly didn't read it.


1) You need the Virindi HUD Chat to have enter/tab work in full screen.

2) I said the top bar isn't going anywhere. I wasn't kidding, it is not possible to remove it.

3) I also mentioned that if you're not already running 2.9.6.4, it's really best to not upgrade, as it breaks plugins like Alinco which depend on the broken 2.9.6.0 behavior and will most likely never be updated.


Look, don't expect much else out of this plugin. It's an alpha release not because it doesn't work but because there's a definite need for more Decal plugins to cover the lack of missing features that are part of the UI and I don't have the time to write them. The missing features should be in a separate plugin anyhow.


If you turn off 'don't open side panel' you can ID things and the id screen will pop up, but you have to press the full screen button to go back to full-screen again.


To really use AC in fullscreen Decal needs the following in a plugin or plugins, in order of highest priority:

VVS ID Screen

VVS Melee/Missile Combat Bar

VVS Inventory/Container Management


Less pressing, as these activities are pretty easy to just un-fullscreen and do:

VVS Trade

VVS Vendor

VVS Character Advancement/Exp spend

VVS Spellbook


Things I don't think anyone will ever bother to write:

VVS Journal

VVS House


Things that won't ever work:

Decal plugin to change character/graphics options

One word ... EXCELLENT


Works wonderful! Works as advertised. I found it easy to use the toggle [F2] to go between full display and using the standard classic interface as needed.


Question : Can it be installed on a Decal 2.9.6.0 environment?


Since I'm a VTank fan and I operate mostly by the keyboard .. this was a easy transition. I upgraded a older computer of mind to Decal 2.9.6.4 and found most of my favorites worked fine. (And yes, I had to disable a few of my old ones that were casting errors at first.)


A great interface. Going to be a lot of fun.

Thanks!!

Bumping this since I've stopped getting daily downloads.

I can't see any options for Hex on my Virindi bar... it also isn't visible under the Virindi Hotkey system though it does have a black check mark by it in Decal.. any suggestions?
