Immersive boons

[brisk idol]

Goal of this pack is to integrate boons closer with an actual ui, instead of placing them randomly on the screen
Currently supports boons:

• vigor
• regeneration
• aegis / block effects (combined indicator)
• stability
• might
• fury
• quickness
• alacrity

Additionally, following features are added:
General:

• Show current build name (based on snowcrows builds)
• Show pinned food for specific build (based on snowcrows builds)
  Specialization specific:
• Catalyst: show thresholds for energy to easily track if there is enough energy to cast 1 / 2 orbs in a row.

[woeful rose]

i dont know if thats possible but maybe a border around the weapon and utility skills for alac and quickk would be nice
Für might i dont know how to include it.
aegis could also be on the health pool

[brisk idol]

I will try and see how it looks, thanks for idea 😄

[grand finch]

border around health for protection and resolution probably as well

or whatever the condi damage reduction one was, I always mix those up

[brisk idol]

Changelog:

• added Aegis, inspired by Aegis animation in game
• reduced size of regeneration icon

[brisk idol]

Changelog:

• Renamed Aegis to Aegis/Block. Indicator is now also shown for twelve blocking effects that I found on https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Block. If someone has additional effect ids that could be added, let me know.
• Vigor indicator has been replaced by new indicator, based on skyscale energy bar, featuring blinking arrows indicating enhanced regeneration. Old Vigor 🥚 indicator can be re-enabled in addon settings in 'legacy-design' group.

[compact vine]

very cool

interested to see how you try make the others fit though

[brisk idol]

Changelog:

• Added Stability, shown as pillars supporting health globe. For one stack of stability, one column is shown (up to two stacks are visible)

[brisk idol]

Changelog:

• Reworked Regeneration, because I just noticed duration overlaps with incoming condition damage indicator . It was too big anyway, now it should look cleaner.

[main loom]

With the new update, you could override the health number in blue if you have protection maybe

[brisk idol]

This is not possible currently, if reffect ads health number element I would just put custom number on top of this one and customize it
For the next one I am doing might and also simplify vigor even more
I need some more reffect functions for some of the other stuff I want to make so it might take some time

https://github.com/Zerthox/gw2-reffect/releases/tag/0.2.0 ok health is added, so we will see 😄

[brisk idol]

@main loom still not possible because it would be complex logic, and it's against addon rules. There is no way to show different color of health if protection is present

[main loom]

Too bad !
It's tough to find good boon integrations

[brisk idol]

This update requires Reffect 0.2.0+
https://github.com/Zerthox/gw2-reffect/releases/tag/0.2.0
Changelog:

• Vigor duration disabled by default. Vigor is now only indicated by arrows on Vigor bar.
• Might added. Intensity of might is represented by curved skyscale-like bar. There are still some pixel issues there, it took hours to align anyways...

[brisk idol]

Changelog:

• added Fury, icon is based on catalyst spec icon with modified texture
• reduced font size

[azure moat]

Spaces in the icon names causes issues with loading them for me

I've gone through and replaced all the spaces with underscores; should I share those files?

[brisk idol]

Thanks for info, is it on linux?

[azure moat]

no, windows

[brisk idol]

strange, for me it normally works with spaces

I will update it tommorow, right now I am posting new version

[azure moat]

even weirder bug. Looks like some misaligned pixels

ah you know what I probably just used the wrong file. Yup, fixed it

[brisk idol]

New version requires https://github.com/Zerthox/gw2-reffect/releases/tag/0.2.3
Changelog:

• Regeneration Duration text disabled by default. Time is represented by fading icon based on duration. In last 5 seconds icon pulses.
• Vigor In the last 5 seconds icon pulses.
• Aegis Duration is only shown in the last 5 seconds. Time is represented by fading icon based on duration.
• Stability Duration is only shown in the last 5 seconds. Time is represented by fading icon based on duration.
• Fury Duration text disabled by default. Time is represented by fading & shrinking flame icon based on duration. Icon is smaller by default. In last 5 seconds icon pulses.

[brisk idol]

no problem, let me know if you find anything to fix

[azure moat]

and the new version is working without adjustments. dunno what the problem was

[brisk idol]

Changelog:

• Added Quickness and Alacrity bars, stylized like Scourge energy bar. Duration text is shown in the last 5 seconds for both. Full bar = 20+ seconds of boons.

[wind goblet]

This is looking better and better by the update. Maybe for Protection and Resolution, we get two quarter circles around the bottom half of the health globe, one for each condition, colour coded? Maybe red for Protection and Green for Resolution

[brisk idol]

For now I don't want to put more boons, especially near health globe because it already has a lot.
Now I want to do some build-specific stuff:

• text indicating selected build
• ability to pin effects
  Both for elementalist and food only by default, it would take long time to add all of them at once. But hopefully some of the users could then help and configure pinned buffs for their builds 🙏

[static geode]

Quote: "text indicating selected build"
No more Chronomancers with the wrong quick/alac boon selected?

[brisk idol]

yep, it's possible - there is blish hud addon that does something like this but it's delayed because it uses API. Here we can use trait filters to show the text

[wind goblet]

Question: I've fixed this since, but when I first installed the pack, the UI was severely offset and didn't match the in-game UI. (I think X and Y positions of the pack were in the 10ks). Did I blunder during install or is this just something that one has to fix to match their own computer?

Also, the scale of fury overlapped Deadeye Malice pips so I reduced the size a bit, but that was an easy fix too 🙂

[static geode]

guessing it's due to difference in resolution

if scaling is also an issue, there's a solution (short python script) posted in https://discord.com/channels/410828272679518241/1264788718938755085

[dry fractal]

Is this for now only focused around ele in terms of overlapping with game ui? Since it looks like it would overlap with any spec that has a bar above their weapons skills (necro, holo, specter, etc) and any spec with an element on top of/above the health globe (druid, untamed, deadeye, etc)
This looks really good and I'll definitely give it a try

[brisk idol]

I know about that, I probably will have to go through every spec and move some ui on them

[brisk idol]

This update mainly applies to the elementalist, although it sets foundation to adding build-specific configuration.
I will be glad for anyone helping to add similar configuration to other classes they use.
Changelog:

• Improved readibility of Might
• For all 9 raid snowcrows elementalist builds added text displaying build name
• For all of those builds required food is recognized and displayed in new pinned effect slots. It helps to make sure correct food is eaten for current build.

[brisk idol]

This small update adds build name text and food slots for 9 snowcrows builds for necromancer

[brisk idol]

it doesnt overlap with necro, bars above weapon skills are higher
But it will overlap if there is something above health

[brisk idol]

Changelog:

• Updated Fury indicator, which also fixes overlapping ui issues on various specs. For specs with UI over health there will be different ui added later.
• Added all snowcrows thief build detection & food

[ebon remnant]

This looks so good man, jesus!

Excited to try it

[runic roost]

I tried the pack and first I couldn't see anything. Tried to change image names from spaces to underscores, but didn't work either. Finally I figured out that the basic placement is incorrect for me.

I'm playing 1920*1080 windowed fullscreen and I had to change the Anchor for the whole immersive boons pack to "Top Center" and 361.50 position Y to make it work.

[brisk idol]

I tested on other screen which is full HD, thats true it won't currently work there

I will add info that for now it works only on 2K screens (2560x1440) without manual modifications.

I will worry about this later after for this one resolution pack is kinda finished

Changes are going slowly now because I am grinding the festival though 😄

[brisk idol]

Happy Janthir Wilds everyone

[rapid glade]

food status appears to be broken

not sure if it matters, but i'm using kimchi pancakes in this case

power food worked fine

[brisk idol]

it only lights up if you have proper food for your build, does this match?

I will replace icons with actual food icons from the builds probably so its more clear which food it expects

[rapid glade]

i imagine it's compared to the snowcrows recommendation? if so then no, i'm using something different

[azure moat]

Yeah the purpose is to check if you have the expected food/util, not to check if you have any at all

[carmine solar]

Is there any way to manually set the expected food for certain characters? I don't use snowcrows builds.

[brisk idol]

Problem with checking "any" food is basically every single food effect in the game has separate ID, so you would have to list every single id which is a lot

[brisk idol]

you could manually add it to the pack, you have to reffect pack settings:
/class-specific/{class}/{profession}

1. Copy one of the builds by rightclicking, for example "pdps"
2. Right click on profession to paste
3. Change name and trait id filters for traits you use (f.e pdps new)
   You can get trait ID from wiki pages (screenshot attached for 1962)
4. Change food and enchancement effect ids in "{noutrishment}/icons" and "{enhancement}/icons", they can be found here: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:Projects/Nourishment_effect_ids
   And that should be all

but when I update versions you have to do it again, best way is to have separate pack as a backup so you can copy and paste when I update

[carmine solar]

very cool, thank you

[elfin forge]

Very cool pack. Unfortunately, I play with a resolution of 3840x2160 and a UI scale of 150% as recommended by Windows and it results in the pack icons and relative positions being too small to fit the game-UI. I could adjust the position of the whole pack in the json file to be at the roughly correct place but I could not find anywhere to scale the whole pack (both icons and positions). So for me, I guess I have to either don't use the pack or play with another resolution to make it work. It looks really cool though.

[brisk idol]

version 0.5.5 of reffect added some scalling options:
https://github.com/Zerthox/gw2-reffect/releases/tag/0.5.5
maybe you can use that?
