Xolpass

Version 0.2 added. You can now control the look of the mod.

Expect the ability to adjust bg and border alphas in v0.4.
If you rate this mod below 5, please tell me how I can improve it

EDIT: Added a pointer to north or south (configurable) by popular demand from my guildies.

Download version 0.3 and that error should be fixed, along with the new pointers.

Basically it was made for a tank in my guild that faces one direction while running in another a lot, so having a pointer so he'd know the fastest way to turn was nice.

In version 0.4 I'll add an option to remove the pointer all together.

EDIT: Sorry, messed up the update eariler, should be working properly again now once the new upload's been approved.

Great I need suggestions for other features though so if you come up with anything please share them

Working on a way to plot a destination on the world map and adding it to the compass.

Bare with me lol

Yep, noticed the same. WIll be fixed in 0.4, which I will probably be finished with later tonight. Thanks for the headsup though

Done with the functionality for 0.4, but weeding out bugs. Done by tomorrow, promise ;P

Changes include:
Mod now hidden along with the rest of the UI when hiding the UI.
Pinging the map gives you a pointer on the compass (symbol p).
By typing /xp xx,yy you can now set a destination and get a pointer on the compass (symbol o).
/xp or /xolpass now renders help instead of toggling the options.

Version 0.5 will provide options for customizing every aspect of the mod, though I'll be away for 3-4 weeks next week.

X-Perl seems to hog the /xp command :P So if you're using X-Perl you have to use /xolpass for this mod.

@Bouvi: Map-clicking will be implemented in not too long...

I will be gone for a month or so, but the functionality should be there and working bug free. When I return I plan to optimize the code, and not do everything as hardcoded as it currently is.

If you could report any performance issues that would be great.

I have a day or two before leaving so I think I'll spend the day making configurations for background/border alphas, and text color/size. That way it should integrate well in any UI.

Feature added

There will be no further updates the upcoming 2 weeks as I will not have access to a computer in that time.

I plan however to rewrite the whole mod, making it more modular, the week after that. I plan to also use graphical symbols instead of plain text. The options window will also get a major overhaul and I want you to be able to change every single visual aspect of the mod. Full localization support is also planned.

So that's what you've got to look forward to If you want more features than what are currently in the mod, please say so. I love to tinker with new ideas.
