Notum Dovvetech GUI 4.3

[Strupstad]

Will it screw things over if I log into my newly patched 18.4 client with the "old" dovvetech skin?

[WizMeister3000]

most likely u will not see the new options, thats what usualy happens

[Honorbound]

*sigh* Sorry, folks, a bit more patience...

Everything's good to go, except I can't log in to this fraking host to upload the update. I'll keep trying for the next few hours, but the error message I'm getting isn't particularly encouraging...

[Strupstad]

I took the dive and logged in. Nothing that messed up the gui. But you need to bind the item store to a new key to access it.

ndGUI v4.33/18.4.0 is now available.

For details and download location, see the first post of the thread.

Thanks for the update!

Not sure if this falls under the texture fixes you made in this update, but I noticed the other day there is a white line across the AXP bar in the "Darktech" GUI version about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom.

it works good so far. but my hotbars are kinda distorted

guess it has something to do with the new bordered nanos and the new stretched hotbars.

is there a way to fix this?

Yes.
Don't driver-force antialiasing onto AO, or you'll get such artifacts on certain GUI elements. It has nothing to do with ndGUI. If you look closely, the HP and nano kits in the upper row also have these artifacts.

[Autohead]

Oh no, more artifacting now when forcing AA? WTB new engine plx.

[Exxxie]

Yes.

you're right, i'm forcing aa via graphics driver. i already suspected aa causing that.

but before today (pre 18.4) there were no artifacts at all anywhere on the gui or somewhere else even with forced aa and af.

Checked the textures themselves, no problem there, and I don't get this in the game either. Is the bar empty or filled when you get this? Could you post a screenshot some time?
Or maybe it's also some artifact from antialiasing (judging by your last post, you are using it for AO)?

Yes, it's because the shortcutbars are now rendered differently than before, and the devs tend to generally mess with the renderer with each update, so visual glitches just come and go.

Some people get artifacts on certain elements, under certain circumstances, others don't. Sometimes I get the feeling that the current render engine is more and more held together only by the digital equivalent of duct tape... WTB new render engine, ASAP.

Well, I'm at work right now, so can't post a screenshot until later...will check it with and without AA tonight.

It appears whether it's empty or filled, but when it's filled it's "behind" the green, what I mean by that is that you can only see the very ends of the white bar extending barely past the edges of green where the bar has filled in already. To me it doesn't really look like it's caused by the AA artifacting as other areas of the GUI I get lines in do not appear to be solid white like this, they are more transparent.

possible that this gui doesn't save the keybindings made in Game or in config self ?

[Ophiuchus]

Is the loss of red/green colour for the words Friendly and Hostile in the NCU window a function of the GUI update (using Notum Edge) or a function of the game update? Really hoping there's a way to get the colours back becasye the warning Red colour is what I look out for

Edit: my bad, looks like it's a game update thing, not to do with the GUI. And Hostile is still red, it's just Friendly that's lost it's green.

[Honorbound]

In theory, yes, if I had failed to copy some of the required variables from the default GUI to ndGUI. However, I've remapped some movement keys, and those did get saved properly, so in general, remapping and saving should work.

You may have some file permission problems, or maybe mapping certain keys doesn't get saved because the required variables are missing from the CharPrefs template (and thus were not added to ndGUI either).

[Yashimitzu]

yeah char templates were missing, wrote manually and works

[Honorbound]

Finally managed to regain access to the host of the regular ndGUI page; the page is now updated with the changes and the packages are available for download at the usual location.

[Autohead]

Just an update, the white line that used to be in my AXP bar is now gone with this update. So, whatever you say to have fixed with the textures must have taken care of it...or who knows what was causing it. Now there is no white line regardless of forced AA or not.
