MiRai - Session Indicators? how?

MiRai in your YouTube videos you have session indicators in the upper left corner of the screens ... how do you configure that? For reference, at about 2 minutes in this video you can see what I'm talking about:

They're Click Bars with numbers that are assigned individually to the characters themselves instead of the Character Set.

Any chance I could get you to post a screenshot of one of them? I'll tinker around with it to get it setup but it would be great to have something to work from as an example.

Re: MiRai - Session Indicators? how?

I'm not exactly sure what you specifically want a screen shot of.

1. Create a new Click Bar
2. Re-size the cell (box) to your liking
3. Enter the number you want into the empty text field
4. Choose the font, size, and color of the text
5. Drag your newly created Click Bar to the character you'd like

Re: MiRai - Session Indicators? how?

I'm assuming since the click bar is assigned to the character that it could be innacurate if that character is used in more than one group for example:

1) Character set A has Shaman 1 in slot 1 of a 5 shaman team and is assigned a click bar indicator of 1 because he's in slot 1 in that group.

2) Character set B has Shaman 1 in slot 5 of a Pally + 4 Shaman team and he would still have a indicator of 1 assigned due to the cilck bar.

Can click bars be assigned as part of a setup command maybe? I have a group setup action and associated click bar button for my teams, maybe slot indicators could be assigned at that point? Will have to look into it, thanks!

Yes, there can be times when it's not 100% accurate and that's why I use it for demonstration purposes only in my videos. However,
how many times does someone have different characters spread out in different slots of their character sets? My guess would be
almost never. If someone only has 5 accounts you can't swap around characters in different character sets and keep a full 5 man
team. In your example above, why would Shaman 1 move to slot 5 of another character set? Which account does that Paladin
come from? I would assume you'd have to not use Shaman 1 if you were going to use Paladin 1 because they'd be on the same
account. If the Paladin came from another account besides the first I don't see why you would move Shaman 1 out of Slot 1, I
would just drive the team with the Paladin's game window (which doesn't have to be slot 1); although, I agree it could be
distracting seeing a different number other than '1' on the screen you would normally be driving from.

Lax would have to add some sort of built-in overlay support to Inner Space in order to have dynamic slot numbers. As for being
part of a setup command I'm not sure.

Re: MiRai - Session Indicators? how?

Are you kidding me ;)

All you need is a mapped key with Click Bar State Actions. Enable click bar 1 on Slot 1, click bar 2 on Slot 2, etc. Welcome to ISBoxer fellas :)

(p.s. this was directed at MiRai)

This would obviously require much more work (for the user) than having the IS session number be a toggle-able overlay with a keyboard shortcut.
