User Interface Update?

[Camiie]

I thought they mentioned that the new UI was going to be more mouse-friendly.

they stated they intend to release the scripting language information for the FFXI client so people could make interface mods, somehow I think we will see a whole new slew of interface mods showing all kinds of information when(if) they do

We won't be able to show information that doesn't exist. Camate kindly provided a list of information the client has and can readily be displayed on the UI if they so choose. This also applies to any interface modes.

I'm not referring to information that doesnt exist, I mean for instance your pets HP and TP, you can echo that back to you or show it in a message, I think that should be right there the whole time, it is reported to the client, if your pet has and uses MP that should be shown as well, simple little things like that, I'm not talking about things like widescan for jobs that don't have it, but if its reported to the client you should have the option to see it if you want to

Only as a percentage. The actual value for HP and MP is only sent to you when you check the automaton's status screen if you are PUP. BST and DRG can not obtain the exact HP/MP values of their pets.

that was what I meant, the percentage, SMN doesn't have exact HP/MP values either, but knowing the TP percentage helps quite a lot in the merited bloodpacts and having to constantly echo back the value with a command is a pain
