Plugin - MQItemColor (1 Viewer)

[redfox]

How does one install this into the MQNext folder? I am a fast learner, and I hate to waste someone's time. Be safe, and take care.

With the MQItemColor will it be able to color based on Prestige, Lore, No Drop, Class Usuable, etc.?

MQItemColor - Changes the background color of items depending on item type

MQItemColor

MQItemColor changes the background color of your items depending on the type of item, making sorting much easier. Right now it handles Quests, Tradeskill, Collectiable, No Trade and Attunable items.

Default colors
Tradeskill: Yellow (F0F000)
Quest: Purple (F01DFF)
Collectible: Orange (FF8C20)
No Trade: Red (FF2020)
Attunable: Cyan (6BBAFF)...

I just submitted the resource, this is by @Ortster and they've done a great job. Ortster, tell the people about your creation so they can give you some Redcent love.

As Ortster mentioned, you'll need to build it yourself. Most likely it'll be incorporated into the main Next build at some point.

 

[Ortster]

Till it gets added in to the MQNext build its a "build your own" situation. But should be added more than likely on the next build.

There are a handful of improvements I am looking to make in my free time, such as better settings toggling. I would like to add more coloring options as well if anyone has any suggestions. Bonus points if those suggestions include where it would fit in the coloring order, even even more if you have a suggestion on the color to use.

For now it replicates decently what MQ2SlotColors was doing for those of us that were missing it while using MQNext.

 

[Knightly]

This will be in the next build.

 

[redfox]

Orster, thank you buddy for your help! Redcented you!

 

[Ortster]

I reworked a bit how No Trade works on Firiona.

By default items that are No Trade on other servers but not on Firiona will not be colored.
If for some reason you want to color items that are Tradeable on FV but No Trade on other servers, you can set the "FVNormalNoTrade" setting to 1.

Is there a way to adjust the color intensity? It is a bit too faint to see the lighter colors like yellow. They were a lot more visible in the regular version for me

To get the background texture that gives things more of a "pop" to show up you'll need to do a "/reload" or "/reloadui". Only needed if the plugin hasn't been loaded before. If the plugin is set to auto load you won't need to do it again, should show up every time you start your client.

 

[Ortster]

The next MQNext build "should" include a couple improvements to MQItemColor
- Settings changeable from the MQ Settings Window. On/Off Toggles and Color Choosers for each color.
- Heirloom color option added. Off by default and default color is a silver/white.

Probably a bit uncommon but I caught an exception from ItemColor when doing a /unload at character select. Looks like its trying to reset inventory slot colors which wasn't so happy when no inventory.

mqitemcolor.DLL!SearchInventory(bool setDefault) Line 388 C++
mqitemcolor.DLL!ShutdownPlugin() Line 514 C++

I ran into this and had a local edit that I forgot about...

@Ortster SearchInventory needs an if (!pInvSlotMgr) check at the top

Was so sad when i saw that MQ2Slotsolors wasn't working on Next. But that plugin saved my day!!!! Thx Redfox

 

[zuesizgod]

Just loaded this plugin today.. OMG the color!! great work!

 

[Sinickal]

Just learning about MQItemColor plugin, was looking to see if I could load it using the PluginManager v1908 but could not see it on the list. Does this have something to do with it being called MQ with no no. 2?

 

[Sic]

Is eqmule actively supporting this? This would be perfect for showing, at a glance, whether a collectible has been collected or not. Code for the boolean search is available.

no, mqitemcolor is different than mq2slotcolors mqitemcolor is next only > Here < is Orster's git

I always love finding a new plugin that improves my QOL! I feel like every day is Easter. Love this plugin, thank you!

 

[toadwart]

I don't know if this was intentional, but noticed recently that the plugin looks only at the flags on base items, but not final result after adding augments. For instance, I have a tradeable necklace, but it has a nodrop augment in it. The plugin does not color code the necklace as notrade(red default), but has a transparent background based on the item default. I don't know about others, but would prefer the item be color coded based on the current setting, not default.

 

[Knightly]

I actually feel the opposite.

Thank you for the update Ortster & Knightly, that's the last one I think!

 

[Kambic]

Really love this plugin.

Would be real cool if it were possible to have colors for multi-tagged items. ie set tradeskill to blue, quest to red, and set tradeskill+quest to purple.

The flags it currently works on are Quest, Tradeskill, Collectible, Heirloom, NoTrade, Attuneable. You could probably combine the colors, but it would likely be hard to tell which is which just by combining their default colors and something that is multiple would likely be some shade of brown at that point. However, if the only thing you want is Tradeskill + Quest, that's doable.

Yeah the latter is sort of what I mean, though not so much that the plugin merges the colors. More like an additional section after Attunable called "Custom Multi" (perhaps), with check boxes for all the above types, and whatever boxes you check (again, for example Quest + Tradeskill) has Normal/Rollover colors to be applied separately (as in, would override whatever would have been applied with either single tag).

I'm not savvy enough with UI coding to begin to guess how much work that would be, but hopefully the the logic at least makes sense.

There is a possible issue with the new UI engine causing a crash when creating an item hot button for an item that has the custom "glow" texture applied to it. Items that have the normal texture work fine and won't cause a crash. So items that don't fall into a coloring category are always fine.

I added a setting to Enable/Disable using the "glow" texture, Enabled by default. Till I can find a better workaround you can disable the use of the texture if you need to create an item hot button. Again, only an issue for items that fall into a coloring category and have the glow texture applied.
