Modded XIVBAR by MrMaelu

NOTE: This version is heavily modified compared to the original by SirEdeonX.

New features:

1. Dynamic job and weapon icons.
2. More flexible settings available to make theme creation easier.
3. Possibility for 3 TP bars.
4. Bars can be placed anywhere.
5. Includes other themes than the original from SirEdeonX. I have not ported the existing themes to the new layout, so I removed them from this release.
6. Includes a theme selector application to allow for easier swapping between themes.

Added themes:

How to edit the settings

The easiest way is to use the in-game console commands. Alternatively do it manually:

1. Login to your character in FFXI
2. Edit the addon's settings file: xivbar\data\settings.xml
3. Save the file
4. Press Insert in FFXI to access the windower console
5. Type lua r xivbar to reload the addon
6. Press Insert in FFXI again to close the windower console

How to create my own custom theme

Take a look at the included themes for some reference.

1. Create a folder inside the theme directory of the addon: Windower4\addons\xivbar\themes\MY_CUSTOM_THEME
2. Create the necessary images. A theme is usually composed of 7 images:

• A background (bar_bg.png)
• A forground (bar_fg.png)
• One image for each bar (hp_fg.png, mp_fg.png, tp1_fg.png, tp2_fg.png, tp3_fg.png).
• Optional: job icons and weapon icons 22 + 12 images. (1.png to 22.png and 1w.png to 12w.png)
• Note: Detection of ranged weapons is currently not supported.

3. Create the theme specific settings file in the theme folder. Copy settings.xml from the data folder to start. Name it settings_THEMENAME.xml
4. Adjust settings in the new file according to your needs.
5. Copy the theme specific settings to Windower4\addons\xivbar\data\ThemeSelectorResources
