[sullemunk]

This Tutorial will show you how to setup resource boxes for your WitchHunter and WitchElf

Make the Rules!
In order to show/hide boxes based on resource in Effigy we need to make some rules and rulesets first

Spoiler:

1) Press the 'Open' button under Rules


2) under the 'Visibility' Tab, create a new rule by typing a name in the field ('Resource1_Show') and press the 'Create' button


3) next open the Dropdown menu under the Edit and select the one you just created ('Resource1_Show'), then click 'Edit' button
4) In the new opened window, make sure 'Enabled' mark is ticked, then under scope should be 'any', Filter should be set to: 'isCurrentValue'
Filter Param: '>0', Visibility: 'show' and Priority: '1'. Press the Apply and close this window




5) Create another rule by entering a new name in the top field; ('Resource1_Hide'), then click 'Create' and selecting it in the dropdown menu
and edit it.
6) This time Filter Param should be '<1' and Visibility 'hide', apply and close window when done



7) Next is to repeat the above steps to create rules for the remainding 4 resources, do the same but replace the name with
'Resource2_Show','Resource2_Hide' etc... Howerver, Filter Params should be changed to reflect the list below:

Resource1_Show: '>0' , Resource1_Hide: '<1'
Resource2_Show: '>1' , Resource2_Hide: '<2'
Resource3_Show: '>2' , Resource3_Hide: '<3'
Resource4_Show: '>3' , Resource4_Hide: '<4'
Resource5_Show: '>4' , Resource5_Hide: '<5'

8) Now when the rules are done, you need to make 'Rule Sets' for the resource counters,
Under Rule Sets: Create: enter a name for the Ruleset ('Resource1') and press 'Create'
9) Select the Created Ruleset in the edit dropmenu below and select 'Edit'


10) Choose the 'Resource1_Show' from the 'Add a rule to this ruleset' drop down menu in the new window and press the 'Add' button
Then select 'Resource1_Hide' from the same dropdown and hit 'Add' again



11) now repeat step 8 to 10 for the other resource counters ('Resource2','Resource3','Resource4','Resource5') and add
the corresponded rules to their ruleset.

There! Now the rules and rulesets are done we can start making the acctual resource tracker!

Make the Boxes!

Spoiler:

1) Press the 'Manage' button under Bars


2) Enter a name for the bar in the 'Create' field ('Accusations') and press 'Create' button


3) The newly created bar should appear in the effigy list, Press Edit button


4) Under General, Behaviour tab, set Barstate dropdown to 'PlayerCareer'. After hitting 'Apply' a black bar

7) in the bottom left set the Width and Height to '35'

9) next set the 'Visibility' dropdown menu to 'Resource1'


10) after you hit 'Apply' the box should dissapear, try hitting a mob or trainingdummy and it should show when an accusation point is gained

11) repeat step 6 to 10 for the other Resource boxes naming them Resource2, Resource3 etc. And changing Visibility to its coresponding rule
(also change the anchor for the box to be beside the previous one and maby color/texture for it, see example)


12) If you want to change the possition of the 'bar' then go to the General / Positioning tab


There! You should now be able to edit after your preferences

Thanks for the guide. I actually was searching for exactly this 1.5 weeks ago. Now I made a simple bar with Effigy myself, that tracks resources for all classes. Maybe I will use this to improve the visuals further.

Where rules and rulesets are saved?

Everytime I create a new character profile without effigy enabled the rules and rulesets are deleted and have to redo the rules for the others.

The bars are the only thing that are saved in the effigy directory in the character profile.

Great guide, one question: Is there a similar way to track Engineer‘s Improvised Upgrade stacks, since those don’t seem to be part of the PlayerCareer scope. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Figured out how to add custom textures. Thanks to Sullemunk for the guide and textures tips.

First you need to make a texture. In my case i found image that i like, resized, made black background and saved.

Then opened it in GraphicsGale (https://graphicsgale.com/us/).

In GraphicsGale need to click "properties" (button with 3 dots), check "Transparent Color" checkbox, choose black color.

Spoiler:

Then open "File" menu in program and go to "Export". Choose .tga extention.

After you got .tga file, you can place it in plugin directory:

Spoiler:

"\Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning\Interface\AddOns\Effigy\Textures"

Next add your texture to configuration files in \AddOns\Effigy\Textures:

There is 2 files named "TextureManager" there. Just open files in editor and
add your texture same way as there is other textures

Spoiler:

After that you can choose your new texture in created "Accustations" bar, "Images" Tab.
