pbInfo offers multiple features to ease your daily Runes of Magic life. This add-on shows a tooltip with several information about the mob, player or NPC you are hovering, a tooltip with information about gathering materials and it modifies the target blood bars to show a mob's real healthpoints.

By now, pbInfo also includes a ThreatMeter, a QuestTracker and a ChatLog.

Please use the ticket system for bug reports. Check other tickets first. I want to keep the comments area clean.

IMPORTANT
Any features using the recently removed os.* functions are available only if you install an addon providing these, e.g. d303Fix.

If you encounter any problems:

Try to reset pbInfo - all pbInfo settings will be lost:

Delete the pbInfo folder inside your AddOns folder
Start RoM and select a character/join the game
Log off / Close RoM
[ Download the latest pbInfo version ]
Install pbInfo again

Furthermore, pbInfo shows a mob's real current and maximum health points in the target frame's healthbar (instead of "100" or "74").

In order to show the health points of a mob correctly, it or an identical mob has to be detected by the cursor once before the combat starts.

Potential quest information [Quest title Gathering item (2/10)] are of course preserved.

Chat
Additionally, the (original) pbMobInfo function - sending information via the chat to party members - has also been preserved. For sending such a message, write "/mobinfo" in the chat or create a macro button for "/script pbInfoChat();". With "/mobinfo zone", "/mobinfo guild" and "/mobinfo playername", the message will be send to that channel or player.

Installation
Unzip the attached archive file and copy the folder "pbInfo" to "Runes of MagicInterfaceAddOns". If those folders are missing, create them.

After starting the game, the message "Add-on loaded: pbInfo" should appear in the chat window. (Does not show up if you use AddonManager.)

Updates
Please remove the old version before installing the new one!

Configuration
Quite all features or switchable in a config frame. Use the minimap button or type /pbic into chat to open it.

Attention
Again: The "normal" (percentage) health points will be displayed if the maximum health points of a mob could not be detected properly (because this only works if you already have hovered above the mob once before the combat has started).

Notice: Due to the calculation of the current health points is done with the help of the percentage health points, it can come to inaccuracy of at most 1%.
