mochimisu / horizoverlay

Just a simple overlay for FFXIV based on this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6q41r3/what_act_overlay_is_this_snipped_off_of_a_stream/

This is a simple horizontal Final Fantasy XIV damage meter overlay to show party DPS based on this post on reddit.

It's based of the amazing work of this repo that tries to compile a whole bunch of Overlay themes together. Thanks to its repo's testing.js file (and /u/rdmty), I was able to mock the data that ACT throws and built this theme.

Example setup

This is how it should be showing for you after setup

Also check this other example without the mock data.

Install

1. Please, be sure you are running version 0.3.3.13 or higher of hibiyasleep Overlay plugin: https://github.com/hibiyasleep/OverlayPlugin/releases | Version x64 | Version x86 |

2. Just paste this url into the overlay's url field: https://bsides.github.io/horizoverlay/

3. You need to grab and resize the overlay and hit a mob to have data so it shows anything.

4. You should look at something like this:

5. From version 2 onwards, you can now right click anywhere the overlay to open a config menu:

6. Test the options yourself! Here are some examples:

Usage

It'll show the name, class and DPS of players in your party. Resize the overlay window will make its items bigger/wider -> I've set the width to a max-width or else with less people in the party it'd look too wide! Adjust the window so it fits everyone in your party, like 50-60% of your screen width.

The order of the items, from left to right, is based on the amount of damage given by the player so sometimes it's not the higher dps.

I made it to fit the screen like the example in the post (I even worked with this screenshot behind the overlay).

Suggestion, bug report, critic, general questions, etc

Please, open an issue. Also don't forget to search if it's alerady down here in the known issue section ;)

Next steps

• Make it configurable (look at this!)
• About the above, maybe start with the things that will be shown: name, position, DPS, damage, etc.

Known issues

Some files aren't used in this theme but I left here to make it more customizeable in the future: CombatantCompact.js and Combatant.js. In theory, Encounter.js isn't used either (but its component is used to keep semantics).

Other details

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
