[v1.0.0-1.0.5] "Save" Talent/Stat Points
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2013 3:11 am
So your level 3 Cornac character has a category she wants to unlock with her extra category point, but it only becomes available at level 10. Or your Wyrmic character is hoarding points to spend in Wild-Gift/Harmony when he gets it unlocked. That leaves you with a semi-permanent yellow double-up-arrow level-up marker, though, making it inconvenient to distinguish between points you want to save and points you want to spend.
My experiments in fixing that have led to the "Save" Talent/Stat Points addon. The idea is that you can now right-click on the level-up marker to mark your current unspent points as "saved". If you have saved points but no unsaved points, you'll get a distinct level-up marker:
(The Minimalist UI isn't a particularly easy UISet to override bits of, so what I can do here is kind of limited...) As you can see here, saved points are tracked separately for each party member.
This is a work in progress, of course, so I welcome suggestions for improvement.
