0.0.2.3

Version 0.0.2.3

Build: CactbotUI.dll (Release, .NET 10)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed duplicate alerts - Alerts (e.g. Death notifications) were being displayed twice due to HandleBroadcast processing both text and alarmText/alertText/infoText fields from a single message. Added an early return after processing the text field to prevent duplicates.

• Fixed blurry game fonts - Game fonts (Axis, Jupiter, TrumpGothic) are raster/bitmap fonts that become blurry when upscaled via ImGui.SetWindowFontScale(). Removed the post-scaling approach and instead bake the font size directly into the font handle at creation time (14f * scale, 16f * scale, 23f * scale). This keeps bitmap fonts at integer pixel sizes for crisp rendering at any scale setting.

  Note: You may want to slightly reduce your AlertFontScale setting since fonts now render at their true configured size rather than being upscaled. For example, a scale of 1.2 with the old system produced a blurry ~17px font - the same visual result now comes from setting the font directly to the desired size.

0.0.2.2

This update lets users choose the alert font, increase or decrease font size with simple buttons, and preview the result directly in-game while the Dalamud config window is open. The previous thickness option has been removed, and the overlay preview now appears in the centre box instead of inside the settings window.

• Updated preview so font, size, and thickness changes are visible immediately in config

0.0.2.0

Bump version to 0.0.2.0

• Now only displays processed raidboss instructions (in/out/stack etc.)
• Built new CactbotUI.dll and packaged CactbotUI.zip

v0.0.1.0

New Features & Improvements
Overlay Box Resizing & Text Layout

• The overlay alert window is now a resizable box - configure the width and height in settings (or drag in move mode, size is persisted).
• Alert text word-wraps to fit the box width automatically.
• Text is always centred - each wrapped line is centred horizontally, and the block of alerts is centred vertically inside the box.
• Note: Death messages ("X defeated by Y") have been removed - the overlay now focuses on mechanic alerts only.
• Live Preview in Settings
• The config window now includes a preview panel that shows a sample alert rendered exactly as it would appear in the overlay.
• Tweak the Width/Height, Font Scale, Colour, or Outline settings and see the preview update in real time.

New Config Options

• Overlay Width (default: 500px) - drag to resize, min 100px, max 2000px
• Overlay Height (default: 150px) - drag to resize, min 50px, max 1000px
