GearSwitcher v1.0

This is a UI mod which, coupled with the XML generation service on my website, allows you to record sets of gear from within the game then switch between these sets whilst playing.

• Provides 8 sets of gear per character dedicated to the diplomacy stations.
• Provides up to 8 custom sets of gear per character, for any combination of the equipment sheets.
• Supports up to 6 characters and switches between them automatically, with nothing to do when you change character.
• Modular approach to characters and sets of gear, expanding as required and allowing individual sets to be updated easily.
• Details of a character's equipment are recorded directly from the game, no need to type out the names of items.
• Configurations for sets of gear can be changed "on the fly", by alt-tabbing out of the game temporarily and reloading the UI when returning.
• Provides a robust solution for equipping, moving and removing items, including built in protection against successive commands being given too quickly to execute correctly.
• Separate UI windows with banks of dedicated buttons for switching gear, without using up any hotkey slots.
• Main UI window provides basic usage information and control buttons for recording and loading the sets of gear.
• Status window reporting the last set of gear equipped. Can be toggled on/off from the main UI window.
• Hotbar with two buttons for opening/closing the banks of gear buttons and the main UI window.
• Integrates with the MiniCards UI mod, which is able to open/close the bank of station gear buttons on their own.

Only the core part of the mod is given in the downloadable zip file. After installing this, you must create your custom XML files for your characters and the sets of gear you wish to use. Full instructions and generation of the XML files is available at www.soresha.net/gearswitcher/
