This is a very tiny AddOn with an important Effect (at least for me)

For me, as healer, is it fine, that Mythic hat implemented the "Distant" Label in the Warband HUD ... but for me, as Leader, is it very annoying, that the "Distant" Label has the same Color like the "Offline" Label.

So this AddOn simply change the Color of the "Distant"-Label to another one ... that's all

    Sometimes, half the ppl in my WB have changed color and the other half are the default red/maroon color.

    I can provide ss if you want.

    I know this Bug already but I think it's a Bug of the Game and not of the AddOn. The Players with the Red Label are not Distant-flagged because they are not distant ... sometimes the Game show the Wrong label.

    I have checked this many times and every Time the Player wasn't distant ...

    Nice mod idea! I would love to be able to set a custom color, but I guess that is easy enough just modifying the lua script :)

    I am looking at the lua source, and it seems this mod would only fire off once and not constantly update? This could be causing the issue that Kigbib sees above.

    It would seem that an event handler(s) needs to be implemented so that the colors are constantly updated on a status change of party or warband members. There are number of events that could be monitored including:
    GROUP_UPDATED, BATTLEGROUP_UPDATED, GROUP_STATUS_UPDATED, GROUP_EFFECTS_UPDATED, GROUP_PLAYER_ADDED.

    Hope this helps!

    A custom color? No way xD
    This AddOn shouldn't look nice, it should help the Player to differ between offline and distant Players. If anyone want to edit the color, just update the three color-values in the Script. I won't create a GUI for this little AddOn :D

    This AddOn fires not once, it fires the whole time you play. The one and only function of this AddOn is not an initalize function, it's an OnUpdate function (see the .mod File).
    The issue of Kigbib is just a Bug of the Game ... I think (or hope) Mythic will fix it in the next Time. For now it's good, that some Labels stay red ... so I can see the Gamebug and click those Players anyway ...

    I have tested some of the events but the GROUP_* events fires only on changes in your own group. The BATTLEGROUP_UPDATED event fires not everytime a Player goes to far away.
    So if I use those events, the AddOn won't work correctly ... the "Distant"-Labels stay red until BATTLEGROUP_UPDATED fires.

    It's not the best way I used ... but the Warhammer Online API is also not the best way xD
