Overview

This addon displays vital bars for easy tracking

You can choose from 3 different styles 'ffxiv', 'ffxi' and 'ffxiv-legacy'.

and you can use a compact version for a smaller resolution:

Installation

• Download the latest release from the panel on the right. Please download the top option on the release page.
• Extract the folder and drop the addons folder within into the install location of Ashita v4
• Load using "/addon load xivbar" in the chat window
• To load the addon automatically when the game starts, edit scripts/default.txt and add "/addon load xivbar" at the end
• RECOMMENDED: Download and install the free font "Grammara" for a more authentic FF14 look of the numbers (restart Ashita afterwards, or it won't find the newly installed font)
• NOTE: You will NOT be able to load this addon if you download it from the CODE button above, as it relies on git submodules to function. Please always download from the release page on the right!

How to edit the settings

• You can directly edit most settings in the in game config (/xivbar, or /xb)
• To edit these settings and more manually:

1. Login to your character in FFXI
2. Edit the addon's settings file: [GameInstallLocation]\config\addons\xivbar\settings.lua
3. Save the file
4. Type /addon reload xivbar to reload the addon

How to create my own custom theme

1. Create a folder inside the theme directory of the addon: [GameInstallLocation]\addons\xivbar\themes\MY_CUSTOM_THEME
2. Create the necessary images. A theme is composed of 5 images: a background for the bars (bar_bg.png), a background for the compact mode (bar_compact.png), and one image for each bar (hp_fg.png, mp_fg.png and tp_fg.png). You can take a look at the default themes.
3. Edit the name of the theme in the settings to yours. This setting must match the name of the folder you just created.
4. Adjust the bar width, spacing and offset for your custom theme in the settings.
