Framework Movable

Movable Plugin System

This framework provides the functionality for plugins to draw display panels that players can interact with to drag, resize, and toggle visual elements on or off in-game. It also generates ICustomizer files that save area positions, dimensions, enabled states, and a custom string for cross-session persistence.

Unified Modification

Each plugin doesn't have to do it's own handling of mouse or key presses, and it doesn't have to define yet another hotkey for toggling stuff on or off, it can just focus on drawing data on the screen. A plugin that implements the IMovable interface will gain the ability to create movable areas that can be dragged around the screen and resized, and all of that code is handled behind the scenes by this library. All of the positions, dimensions, and movement delta values necessary to draw elements on the screen are provided to the Movable plugin via a PaintArea method, which works like PaintTopInGame.

Drag (or Hotkey) to Move

Press F12 to toggle Edit Mode on, which shows outlines of all the movable plugin display areas on the screen. You can drag and drop them freely while in this mode.

Because clicking around on the screen causes your character to move around or perform actions, I added the ability to specify hotkeys the plugin will handle as if you had clicked instead. To enable this or change its hotkey, set or change SimulateLeftMouseClick and SimulateRightMouseClick properties from plugins\Razor\Click\ClickEventHandler.cs. The default values of E and R are commented out on lines 57 and 58.

Drag (or Hotkey) to Resize

While in Edit mode, hovering over a resizable plugin area shows little triangle corners on the bottom left and bottom right of the outline. Hovering over them will show what sort of resizing you can do. There are 4 Resize modes that plugins can specify: ResizeMode.On (free resize), ResizeMode.FixedRatioResizeMode.Horizontal, and ResizeMode.Vertical. Not all areas are resizable, just depends on the plugin and whether or not it does the extra size calculations.

Toggle Off or On (Hotkey)

While in Edit mode, press Ctrl + X while you have a plugin area selected or hovered over to toggle that area display on or off.

Undo (Hotkey)

While in Edit mode, press Ctrl + Z while you have a plugin area selected or hovered over to undo drag or resize actions applied to it.

Save Settings to File

Using the save-to-file hotkey (default: Ctrl + S) will generate an ICustomizer plugin file with your modified settings in the correct location. This will allow you to retain the changes you made when you load TurboHUD next time.

Changing the position, size or on/off state of any of the movable areas will automatically generate an ICustomizer file at TurboHUD\logs\MovablePluginConfig.txt

In case you forget to use the save-to-file hotkey, this file is there so that you can optionally restore your changes from the last aborted TurboHUD session by copying the txt file from your TurboHUD\logs folder to TurboHUD\plugins\User\MovablePluginConfig.cs.

For plugin authors, setting a MovableArea's ConfigFileName property will write its config changes to the specified file instead. Leaving it blank will result it being written to the default "MovablePluginConfig" file.

Hotkeys

All of these are configurable, with the variables mostly located in TurboHUD\plugins\Razor\Movable\MovableController.cs.

  • ToggleEditMode (F12) - toggle Edit Mode on or off
  • SimulateLeftMouseClick (none) - because when you click around the screen, D3 moves your character around and interacts with the game world, it's probably easier just to press a hotkey to simulate a mouse click - edit this in TurboHUD\plugins\Razor\Click\ClickEventHandler.cs
  • SimulateRightMouseClick (none) - because when you click around the screen, D3 moves your character around and interacts with the game world, it's probably easier just to press a hotkey to simulate a mouse click - edit this in TurboHUD\plugins\Razor\Click\ClickEventHandler.cs
  • ToggleEnable (Ctrl + X) - toggle display on or off
  • ToggleGrid (Ctrl + G) - toggle placement grid display on or off
  • HotkeyUndo (Ctrl + Z) - undo movement or resize
  • HotkeyUndoAll (Ctrl + 0) - undo all movements or resizes (ctrl + ZERO)
  • HotkeySave (Ctrl + S) - save config file now (this is separate from auto-save, but is still subject to the logging limitations of your TH version)
  • HotkeyCancel (Esc) - cancel your current move or resize action
  • HotkeyPickupNext (Right) - cycle forwards through all areas under your cursor and pick up the next one
  • HotkeyPickupPrev (Left) - cycle backwards through all areas under your cursor and pick up the previous one

Visibility Checking

Movable plugins are rendered during the ClipState.BeforeClip step by default, and it will properly disable rendering, click and hotkey events as necessary while obscured by (sharing the same space as) most visible game interface elements.

Custom Handlers

The Movable system has its own optional handlers for hotkeys and click events that occur while the mouse cursor is hovering over a visible MovableArea. This makes it simple to code actions like "do something when you click on this MovableArea" or "do something when you use a hotkey while hovering over this MovableArea."
  • IMovableKeyEventHandler - hotkey events that occur when your mouse is hovering over a MovableArea
  • IMovableLeftClickHandler - left mouse click events that occur when your mouse is hovering over a MovableArea
  • IMovableRightClickHandler - right mouse click events that occur when your mouse is hovering over a MovableArea
  • IMovableDeleteAreaHandler - for notifications of MovableArea.DeleteOnDisable deletions

Installation

I separated the optional plugins that implement the Movable plugin system from the core download so that they can be updated separately. The only exception to this is my Menu Plugin, which already includes the latest version of Movable. Any plugins I write that use the Movable Plugin system will be tagged with the Movable label.

Download MovablePlugin_Feb-17-2022.zip

Put the folders in the archive into your TurboHUD directory. The files should be in the following locations when you're done:

TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Click \ ClickEventHandler.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Click \ ILeftClickHandler.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Click \ IRightClickHandler.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Hotkey \ HotkeyEventHandler.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Hotkey \ IHotkeyEventHandler.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Log \ ITextLogger.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Log \ TextLogger.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Movable \ IMovable.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Movable \ IMovableDeleteAreaHandler.cs
TurboHUD \ plugins \ Razor \ Movable \ IMovableKeyEventHandler.cs

For Plugin Authors

If you would like to have your plugin use the Movable system, I've included a heavily commented example plugin template in the download to explain how to implement it.

Works with Diablo 3 patch 2.7.2.79575, TurboHUD v21.12.8.0, API v9.2

  1. Does this work as of today 17th of December 2021? Got exceptions 2 when started

    1. It works if you comment out line 19 in TurboHUD\plugins\Razor\Movable\MovableController.cs, I accidentally left a call to a library I was using for debugging in there (oops!). Otherwise, you can just use the Menu Plugin System package which includes this Movable framework in the download. Thanks for the heads up about the issue.

  2. hi, tried to run and got an exception, can you help?

    TurboHUD\Plugins\Razor\PartyHealthTracker.cs(909,49) : error CS1061: 'IWorldCoordinate' does not contain a definition for 'Window' and no accessible extension method 'Window' accepting a first argument of type 'IWorldCoordinate' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

    1. The new version of TH removes IWorldCoordinate.Window, so you need to change the code at the line mentioned (909) that looks like "____.Window" to "Hud.Window"
