Distance

Purpose

This is a plugin for XIVLauncher/Dalamud that shows basic distance information in a variety of customizable UI elements.

Usage

This plugin comes with the following defaults:

  • A distance readout on the target bar, showing the distance to the target's hitring.
  • A visual arc to show distance until aggroing the boss (for supported bosses).
  • Distance readouts on player and enemy nameplates.
  • Automatic checking for aggro data updates (from this site).

You can change or remove the defaults, add custom readouts (widgets), add custom arcs, change how distances are displayed, nameplate settings, disable checking for aggro updates, etc. in the plugin settings window (/pdistance config).

Contributing

If you would like to contribute boss aggro range data, please create an issue with the following information:

  • Instance/zone name (remember to note normal, savage, extreme, etc.!)
  • Boss name
  • BNpc ID (can be found in the /pdistance debug window)
  • TerritoryType (also in debug), and the distance.

Be sure to measure the distance to the hitring, not the center, and measure to at least one decimal point. Ensure that you do not have any distance offset in the plugin settings.

Data will probably not be added for cases like Bozjan Southern Front and Zadnor where enemies can have the same name and BattleNpc data across different skirmishes, CEs, and duels.
