Changelog
v1.0 > v1.1 Post #17: toolbar now auto-displays for staff OnLogin. Added a "(?)" button to make editing faster (no more [ToolbarEdit command). Now resends the toolbar after editing it. Changed background colors. Special thanks to X-SirSly-X for the v1.1 update (you did a great job! I love the new ideas!)
v1.1 > v1.2 Post #20: toolbar updated for RunUO 2.0 (thanks for the update, archiep).

Description
Dynamic, customizable command toolbar, that utilizes account tags to store customizable information.

Features
-Each command is customizable, and you can turn the Hide bar on or off.
-Seven available spaces for commands.
-Easy-to-use Edit menu where you can customize your options.
-Toolbar automatically pops up for staff members OnLogin.
-One simple command, [Toolbar.
-Simple gump that makes the most of the space that it uses.
-Cropped text so your commands don't overlap.
-More later.

Installation
Drop the file "Toolbar.cs" into your custom scripts directory. Restart the shard. If you are a staff member, the toolbar should automatically appear when you log in. Press the "(?)" button to customize the toolbar.

Future Plans

• Built-in toolbar insta-ethereal; customizable. One can choose different preset Mount ID's (ID's of normal ethereals, just to make things easy), or input his/her own Mount ID.
• Built-in toolbar container. Size will be customizable. Items can be used just from it just as if they were in the player's backpack, and it will be able to hold infinite items.
• Built-in ultimate hider. All effects will be customizable, and numerous preset effects will be included.
• Size customization. One will be able to choose how many columns and rows of commands he/she wants for his/her toolbar.
• Easy-access edit menu (as before). Everything will be easily accessible and easy to edit from a concise menu that includes a little "tutorial" and other help sections.
• Built-in staff stone (if I can obtain Greystar's permission). All credit will go to him, but it will just be easier to access as a gump.
• Skin customization.
• More!

Thank you for using this script, I hope you enjoy it! You can e-mail suggestions/requests to demortris@adelphia.net or you can post them here.

Banned

WTF????

*this message is too short*

[Liacs]

dito: what did he do??? *shakes head*

[o0_Sithid_0o]

OMG, him too?
*Goes back to look over Joeku's last posts to see if theres anything incriminating*

[Joeku]

My "incriminating" post was deleted.

I was banned by a moderator whom I suspect just has it out for me. The allegations in the ban message were false, but there's nothing that I can really do to prove that. None of the other mods would want to butt heads with the person who banned me, and the admins could care less about one of 50,000 people in this community being harassed (I e-mailed them and didn't even get a response...) In short: I didn't do anything wrong, but I have to sit and take it.

I'm just going to leave it at that.

I'm glad to know that some of you care about me though

Any comments/suggestions for the Toolbar?

[nickomash]

Joeku I think TBv1.0 is great! Other than cleaning the gumps up and making it more graphically pleasing there is not much more to do. Its a solid script IMO and has potential to be much larger like the toolbars in WoW for example, but a mod like this should be bare minimum necessary commands and you have summed that up nicely.

Sorry to hear about your feud, I am a long time reader and know you to be a stand up Mod. :|

[Joeku]

I'm glad to hear that you like the toolbar!

A modification is on its way. I am hoping to eventually have a self-formatting toolbar that can fit as many commands (multiples of 10) as one wants. We'll see

Something to look forward to: a built-in mount, with numerous preset MountIDs and capabilities for having a custom (non-standard) MountID.
I'm also working on getting the Ultimate Hider built into this, as well as some other things

[nickomash]

Muchos Gracias Joeku!

Lookin' forward to the update, will gladly playtest if need be

Welcome back ..I am sorta way out of the loop. But I was confused and alarmed when I saw banned under your name. It is not my site nor my call but I am sure there are MANY out there that daily break the rules and run people off..You are not one of them..I thank you for all you give to us ( the unknowledgeable ) and and

Welcome back

First I like to say welcome back, I missed ya

Second and a bit more to the point, I like you too much to ban you myself but I do think that you were banned for a good reason (based on the message you got in the ban and what I know beside that).
Personaly I hope you won't keep doing what you did that got you banned and that you'll stick around a bit.

Anyway if you want to continue this discussion you have my contact info so feel free to use it

[Lucid Nagual]

Hey welcome back. I just noticed this post and will check out the script. Thanks for all your contributions

[penndragon]

First of all thanks for this script. It is a great way to get away from the command balls and other such. Very nice layout too.
Second, glad to see you back.

[Joeku]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone

A new Toolbar is on its way out of Joeku's Factory! It'll have more features and better utilize its space. It will also have a special Mount feature, which I'm looking forward to. If anyone has suggestions for the next release, now's the time to tell me!

Updated

Joeku, I hope you dont mind, if so, just let me know, and I'll remove this.

Here is what I've done:

-Auto displays for staff on staff login.
-Added a ? button to make doing edits faster, so no more extra [toolbaredit command.
-Made it resend the toolbar after editing it.
-Changed the background colors

v1.0 > v1.1
Alpha Command toolbar v1.1 now posted, please replace the following: "Toolbar.cs" with the updated version.
Info: toolbar now auto-displays for staff OnLogin. Added a "(?)" button to make editing faster (no more [ToolbarEdit command). Now resends the toolbar after editing it. Changed background colors. Special thanks to X-SirSly-X for the v1.1 update (you did a great job! I love the new ideas!)

Notes: a new update is on its way! Here are the new features that will be added:

• Built-in toolbar insta-ethereal; customizable. One can choose different preset Mount ID's (ID's of normal ethereals, just to make things easy), or input his/her own Mount ID.
• Built-in toolbar container. Size will be customizable. Items can be used just from it just as if they were in the player's backpack, and it will be able to hold infinite items.
• Built-in ultimate hider. All effects will be customizable, and numerous preset effects will be included.

• Built-in staff stone (if I can obtain Greystar's permission). All credit will go to him, but it will just be easier to access as a gump.
• Skin customization.
• More!

As of yet, I have no ETA on the completion of this.

@X-SirSly-X: I hope you have no qualms of me adding your customizations as an official update. It was definitely update-worthy If you want to keep it seperate, just say the word.

[X-SirSly-X]

Good, I'm glad you like it, but first off thanks for making this great script. I hope you can use what parts I've added to help make this even better

[Joeku]

The new version is going to (as mentioned above) have different skins to choose from. I'm glad that you added the other parts, those hadn't even crossed my mind. If you want, you can help me develop the future versions. I'm not very creative If you want to do so, contact me in private using an IM or a PM (not tonight, I'm about to hit the sack).

On a side note, I think I've decided to release these new updates in sections... doing them all at once will keep you all waiting too long

First things to work on:
1. New Edit Menu (75% complete already)
2. New Skins
3. Adjustable Column/Row #'s
4. Toolbar-Ethy (possibly)

I already have a new layout for the toolbar, it's compact and it's not as ugly as sin

[archiep]

Allright Joeku I got it to work with 2.0 heres the file. And thanks your right it does look better than the old one I was using.

[Rothhear]

jokeu i got bored od this thing im glad to see someone is keeping up on it were i left off and were i left of wasnt mutch :/ so ya good job i like it alot keep it up

[Joeku]

A new version should be out soon.

[otimpyre]

I have to agree with this quote I have built some nice houses using this tool in 1.0 hope you get it with the mover for 2.0 as well.

JoeKu,

Thanks for replying my pm. Anyway since you're asking for new ideas, I'm thinking maybe you could make the gump transparent-able with a slider bar to make it from solid to semi-transparent to transparent. I've seen this with the new knives chat, it looks really good.
