Star wars: The old republic (MMO) Centering HUD?
Posted: 29 Dec 2011, 08:07
Anybody playing find a way to center the hud. As in party members and mini map? Healing is a hassle staring at my left screen constantly.
I've all but stopped using my mini-map because it's outside of my field of vision. Wearing glasses means I don't even get peripheral vision to 'notice' things out of the corner of my eye! I have the main map assigned to my middle mouse button and I just click it on and off all the time whilst I'm running - sounds a pain but I've gotten used to it now.
You can turn on a setting in the prefs to show party members in the ops frame or something, which allows you to move them nearer the centre. I don't know if you can still use these for targeting (I haven't tried yet) so it may not help you.
I've moved my chat windows to the inner edges of my side monitors now, which has been a massive improvement over the beta. The code to move windows around is clearly implemented, so I don't know why they have chosen to leave some elements locked.
EDIT: Just checked and you *CAN* use the ops frame for targeting so this is a must-have for healers! The setting is called "Use Operations Frames as Party Frames", under User Interface.
