P99 Add-Ons

[Akg49]

GINA is also bomb for people who can only play intermittently due to work or other responsibilities.You can alert you if someone talks to you, if you are attacked, when the mob pops, timers on your buffs/abilities, timers on your dots/debuffs. My GINA is so developed I could probably play p99 if I went blind.

I don't play at work (I work in construction) but I do play while reading and writing papers for online classes I am taking in my off hours. Kill a static mob every 10 mins, gives you a mini break.

Play your way, have fun.

These are some great answers. Thank you all. Installing Titanium now. Hopefully I don't have any issues with setup but if all goes well I should be chumming up with all you lot here in a couple hours.

I'll check out some of the suggestions in the meantime. Thanks again!

naw, GINA lets you do some pretty dope shit

fav use case was monitoring incoming complete heals - I had an 'oh fuck' button that would target self and use the inventory slot holding my reaper. Saved my ass plenty of times when the next CH was a second or two off.

Yeah, I'm definitely a GINA stan. Taken to its extreme it can force you to think more creatively, and depending on your RegEx knowledge will let you do some really neat and convenient things. I programmed a set of triggers which display my tracking target and places an arrow on the screen pointing in its direction, for example. And a set of triggers which display a con-color box next to my target window whenever I use my /consider hotkey, which makes it so much easier to tell when something is light blue vs green.

I think the best case you make for GINA is the really arbitrary organization of text channels in the Titanium UI, in which "Other" seems to encompass a ton of completely unrelated categories which you mostly don't want lumped together in one chat window. GINA allows you to more or less design your own ancillary UI and streamline more important information into separate areas of the screen. It lets me know if hide or sneak failed through an audio cue, which has saved me countless times. It lets me know when the mob has been tashed, or slowed, or snared, or rooted, etc. I think you need to be a bit of a code geek to use it to its full capacity, but setting up really simple things like buff timers, or refresh timers, or spawn timers, or various alerts should be easy enough for the average lay user.

That is awesome. Able to share your setup for that? That sounds great.

It is amazing what you can do with Regex. I am just starting to dabble. I was super happy just getting my rogue's backstab to appear on the screen above his head, so I could watch those nice big numbers more easily.

My search text for that is "you backstab (?<mob>.+) for \b([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])\b" and I display ${1} in an overlay. Just figuring out the number range and applying it was so much fun.

I can even make it scream at me when charm breaks.

This a great example of how it is for lazy gaming. I also have an audio trigger for charm breaks on my Enchanter. You know how Enchanter's that don't use GINA know when charm breaks? They don't look away from the screen.

It'll tell me if my rogues evade was a failure or a success without me having to read chat spam every few seconds.

Yeah not lazy at all to have a program read for you.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you can accomplish the same thing with "You backstab {S1} for {N}."

then putting {N} in the display text box would show how much you BS'd for in an overlay.

Beat me to it.

I made a thread in Tech Discussion detailing how to set it up sometime last year, but it didn't account for the different /con messages you get at different level ranges. So I need to make a new post to include those, but if you want to set it up for level 49-60 characters only, here's that post: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=251623

And here's an updated link for the Con Colors GINA package: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s9o58e0lnc...olors.gtp?dl=0

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but wouldn't you be able to simplify this with GINA's built-in tokens? For example, search text: "You backstab {S} for {N} points of damage." Display text: "{N}"

how did gina help here? you noticed you didn't get CH'd so you used the reaper (which part of that was actually gina and not just you being good)? did gina play a sound? it was kind of impossible to tell with the music....

It was pretty impressive, but again, it seems more like you were just good. Maybe I'm misunderstanding all that gina can do though? I guess it can read the log for when a cleric CLAIMS to be healing or when a cleric starts casting a spell and then play a noise when you don't actually get healed on time? was gina playing the soundbyte "oh $!# reaper"? Or was that you saying it? it's hard to tell because... if you recorded your own voice for gina to playback to you, from my perspective I can't tell if that was you talking live, or gina playing your voice for you?

I agree, pure vanilla immersion is the best. I turn it off when I have an open slot of time, but that is kinda rare. It really helps the casual players participate in the p99 world. I probably would have quit p99 a long time ago if I didn't have a way to progress my toon intermittently, casually, in the little bits of time I can put in. It is a big help.
