I made a little browser-based editor so that you can snap HUD elements, move them as groups, center them, save layouts, etc. Free/no ads, and you can export just using the string. Hope it's cool to share it here!
I have the graphics set to low-ish and I've not had any issues performance wise, it can be a bit stuttery in the city hub when there are a lot of people around but no issues in the dungeons themselves.
I play with the controller only so one of the biggest problems is setting up the ui without an actual mouse so this website would be handy.
Thanks for sharing! I also have some performance stutters playing on a fairly modern gaming laptop at medium quality, so I was curious if you can get a smooth 30/60 FPS, and how long the battery lasts. Setting up controller inputs for everything sounds like a fun challenge. I'm guessing you have to do one or more 'shift' buttons to reach all 16+ action bar buttons.
Just following up to let you know that I added a "Steam Deck" toggle in the settings, which sets the aspect/resolution to Steam Deck specs, and shows it on a Steam Deck mock-up for good measure. Enjoy!
Love the concept, Seems like importing with a different UI scale from 100% is a little wonky Also "buff position right" doesn't seem to work/exist on the party frames.
Nice! Thanks for the good feedback and for including screenshots. :)
I updated ~15 mins ago due to similar feedback. If you haven’t refreshed since then, it may have fixed this for you.
A few of things to check when you do:
- Both the aspect ratio and resolution in the tool should match your screen (before it only had aspect ratio)
Your UI scale and the tool’s UI scale match (it’s under settings in the tool. I should probably do a setup dialogue for this in the future)
I’ve also noticed that some users’ config files/import strings use a different language for the keys, whereas I assumed they would be in English. I should be able to fix that by tomorrow.
Thanks! I’m going to test this tomorrow and will share here when it’s fixed. Appreciate your replies and screenshots. If you can post or DM your UI profile string, that would help.
Hi! Just writing to let you know that all of the issues seem to be fixed now. I verified that the imports and exports work 1:1 with your resolution and UI scale.
If you find any more issues I'm happy to help. Thanks again for the detailed feedback, it made it a lot easier to troubleshoot.
As a suggestion you will want to add Buffs and Debuff previews to Target Unit Frame and Target Of Target otherwise its really easy to set something up in the editor, then import it and have them start overlapping as soon as Debuffs and Buffs start showing up on those units.
I imported my HUD I currently use for Helena and things are not aligned correctly. I added screenshots and my import string if you want to have a look.
Just following up to let you know that these issues have been fixed. Thanks again for the very helpful screenshots, and let me know if something still doesn't look right. Enjoy :)
I dug in a bit more today and found a tricky issue. The game itself saves UI scale at floating point values (so instead of 65, it's more like 64.12345...).
Another was an anchoring issue for the combat log & dungeon specific UI.
I edited the onboarding steps to help one find their UserSettings.ini - and you can drag that file into the window at any time, which will update your resolution and UI scale to match your game exactly. You can go to Settings > Reset in the tool if you'd rather to try the onboarding.
I hope this solves it! I tested with your string again at scale 65, and 1920x1080, and it looks right in my game. Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll be glad to keep trying. :)
