I just made some bandaid fixes on my end that seem to work. I added hideBars() and showBars() calls to my 'register_event('target change', function())'. There's probably a better way of doing this, but this seems to work for me for now.

Ok I believe I've fixed those issues now, plus another one I caught with the Pet Bar flickering when `hide_pet_bar_when_no_pet` is turned on.

Thanks Bahamut.Navius for catching those, and I hope this solves your Limbus issue as well, I really wasn't sure what to make of the data you had regarding that one.

Patch version update to 4.4.3

Added show_cursor_target option to the Aggro List section. Highlights the monster in the Aggro List that you currently have targeted.
Adjusted the Aggro List to be more consistant in removing monsters when they die.
Adjusted the SP Active name and target name cycling to be synced up with the timer again. The previous change to the timer made it more accurate, but the name switching was still based on full clock seconds.
Fixed an error on log in when Bars was autoloaded before logging in.
Fixed bars showing back up occasionally during zoning after hiding.
Fixed Focus Target Debuff Icons staying on screen after zoning away from a Focus Target.

I'm not seeing any petrification status with entombed with the current version (I think this worked?)

Entomb doesn't have a `status` entry in the spells/lua resource file and so doesn't automatically apply via Bars. It's not a guarantee that the petrify effect will land and it's a damage spell so the results we get back in the action packet are for the damage numbers. As far as I am aware there is no additional parameter within the action packet that relates to additional effects applying. So unfortunately, it's an effect that Bars can't confidently track.

Work on 4.4.4 is mostly done, couple little fixes, made an adjustment to the Aggro List regarding mobs that anyone can attack (ie Limbus NMs or DI mobs), and did some more work removing redundancy for efficiency. Currently trying to nail down an occasional bug introduced with one of the efficiency improvements.

Understood. I know it won't work on cockatrice (maybe some other earth based mobs?), but it does work on most mob types reliably for ~30s (I think?) and we do see the "wears off" message (both from hitting it and from timer), but if you don't want to put a bunch of spaghetti in there for semi-reliable tracking I understand (that's sincere not snarky btw - since I'm sure it can be taken as either)

Hello, i would like to know if this is possible to remove all the bars, but just keep the target bar on.
I tried to set them to false in the bars.lua but it do not change anything. Also i dont seem to find any command through the help menu.

Glad that was relatively simple, I haven't tried with Japanese myself :)

Short answer: You'll want to change those settings in the data/settings.xml file instead.

Longer answer: What's in the Bars.lua file are the default values that get loaded when the settings.xml file is first created, so if you change them after you've already loaded the addon and the settings.xml file has been created, changing those values inside the Bars.lua won't affect your in-game settings (unless you delete your settings.xml file and reload).

Updated to Version 4.4.4

Added `open_mobs` to the Aggro List section. Mobs on this list are mobs that are open for anyone to fight together. This will adjust the Aggro List to display their correct target instead of filtering it to party/alliance only.
Adjusted pet name colors to match their owner's color.
Adjusted more areas for efficiency. Reduced more calls for get_player() and get_mob_by_target().
Fixed Focus Target, Sub Target, and Target names not pulsing/glowing correctly when their SP is active.
Fixed issue with the Player Stats Pet Bar flickering when Bars are faded.

Thank you, glad you like them :D

For Leaderboard, there is not currently a way to reset each time you zone.

Presenting: Bars
Displays bars for Target, Sub Target, Focus Target, Self Actions, and Player Stats (HP, MP, TP, Pet), plus a boat-load of other things. Can display anywhere from all bars at once, to all the way down to just the target bar.

Download from Github here
Because of the large number of image files contained within, the best way to download is to click on the green "Code" button to the top-right of the page and select the "Download ZIP" option. This will download a complete master file of everything within the FFXI repository.

↑ The //bars ui command triggers the Screen Test where you can drag any of the highlighted bars.

↑ New animations Bar Drain, Bar Pulse, and Floating TP shown.

↑ The Target and Self Action bars visible and in action showing how many targets were hit and the total of all damage done.

↑ The Target, Self Action, and TP visible in action showing WS and SC damage done (old v2.0 look).

↑ Bumba with Yaegasumi active before it wears off (now includes a timer countdown as well).

↑ The Debuff Icons and Timers displayed above a target.

↑ The Party Actions displayed next to each of your party members.

Features

Target Actions.
○ Displays results of completed actions (damage, buffs, resists, etc.).
○ Displays number of targets hit and totals for AoE cures/damage.
○ Displays casting, completed, and interrupted icons.
○ Tracks every player/mob within range as they perform actions, so you can tab around to different targets and see what they are doing.
○ Spells colored based on their element.
Self Actions.
○ Dedicated to displaying your own actions.
○ Displays a casting bar based on casting time for spells and items.
Party Actions.
○ A simplified display of the actions performed by each party/alliance member.
Focus Target.
○ A customizable list of targets to automatically track in a dedicated bar.
○ Update this list by name, id, or your current cursor target.
Focus Target Override.
○ Designate the current cursor target as a Focus Target taking priority over the Auto Focus Target list.
○ Focus will persist until subject moves out of range, dies, or is disabled manually.
Display Debuffs on Monsters.
○ Shows the tiers of the debuffs (Frazzle 3, Slow 2, etc.)
○ Will show a best guess timer for each.
○ Removes the icon only when the debuff is known to be removed/off (ie Benediction or "wears off" message), otherwise displays "??" if unsure.
Display Monster levels.
Display the Index or Hex number for targets.
○ Useful for NM placeholder camping, or designating a specific mob for others to target.
Display distance to target.
○ Colorize the distance text based on the distance to the target and other factors.
Displays SP abilities and time remaining.
○ Accounts for an SP ability being stolen with Larceny.
○ NOTE: Timing for players who have gear adding additional time cannot be accounted for.
Display Dynamis-Divergence mob jobs.
Target Lock display for when your camera is locked to your current target.
Animations!
○ Bar Fade - fades away after a set time of inactivity.
○ Bar Pulse - pulses the bar under certain circumstance (SP ability active, TP is ready, critical HP, etc.).
○ Bar Drain - bar meter updates immediately, while the newly "missing" part of the bar smoothly drains away.
Player Stats (HP/MP/TP/Pet) can be turned on/off individually per job (ie SAM could show only TP, while PLD shows HP, MP, and TP).
Names and bars colored based on type (NPC, Party member, mob claimed by someone else, etc.).
Nearly every feature can be turned on/off or adjusted via settings file or in-game commands.

See github readme for full list of in-game commands and settings file options.

I originally built Bars to address some shortcomings of another bar that showed enemies, then ended up fleshing it out with other things I thought would be cool to have. I really enjoyed working on this one and am super happy with how it turned out. I made sure there are lots of adjustability options if you want to change how it works. You can turn off almost everything about it to make it a very simple target bar, but I think you'll like some of the extras packed in :)
