Oops I Did It Again -- multi-level Undo / Redo add-on for ESO Housing Editor

R_K

I'm not sure if anyone else was looking for multiple levels of Undo and Redo of changes made in the Housing Editor; but if you are, check out my newest ESO Housing add-on:

Oops I DId It Again
http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1946-OopsIDidItAgain.html

• Undo and Redo changes you make to your houses including adding, removing and moving furniture.
• Up to 500 of the most recent actions can be retained for each of your homes.
• Action history is saved and Undo / Redo is possible even after zoning/relogging.
• Quick-access keybinds can be configured for Undo and Redo.
• Slash commands may also be used ( /undo, /redo, /undohist and /undoclear ).

Sure, just installed it, going to test it in a bit

@R_K You, sir, are the steely-eyed missile man!

Considering how awesome your work is...can I make an addon request?

This is a concept Ive been tinkering with for a while now, but...
Along the lines of the addon: Furniture Grouper, do you think it would be possible to save "Furniture Groups/Setups", and then go to another home and load them up from the existing items?
This would allow a player to build something; bookshelf, table with items on it, or just about any other furniture arrangement, and then "load" the whole setup in any home, or even duplicate the setup throughout a single home.

While Im only a rudimentary basic coder myself, I'd think it would work along the lines of the very old (but still functional) SaveHouse addon.

If you keep this up, Im going to have to become your LUA apprentice...

Once again, I appreciate the feedback -- it means a lot!

As for your concept... I think that sounds incredibly useful. I think I will take on your challenge and build it.

Names, names... I'm thinking...
Rooms To Go possibly?

Either way, I'll work on that -- so check back!
And yes, as a LUA Sith, I could always use an apprentice...

Hrmm...thats good.
Or mebbe: "Fern it, sure!" or some other silliness. xD

I look forward to your creations!

Moar feedback:
Ive spoken with many of my housing guildies (yes, there are guild(s) devoted just to housing, in case you werent aware or already a member of one or more...) and they all had the same general response to your work.

"Awesome! But...steep learning curve...>_<"

Perhaps there are some pre-sets (Ive seen quite a few new buttons added to your UI interface throughout the updates) that users could click in order to get a better understanding of how the coordinates change the various items, and their relationships.
For example: When creating a wall, the total length of the items used determines the spacing of each item, but this isnt immediately obvious to the user.
I dont suppose the addon can know the dimensions of each object being used, and then create the proper values for spacing?
I did notice that your Furniture Snap Addon has no difficulty with spacing similar objects, and you created variables in centimeters as a reference point.
While perhaps many of us hardcore geeks always love options, higher learning curves for the unfamiliar (or less tenacious) can often make mass adoption a bit more difficult.

Anyhoo, keep up the awesome work!

Once again, thank you so much for the feedback -- this really helps! ...and I couldn't agree with you more regarding the learning curve.

First, I am glad that you noticed the changes I've been making to the UI with each update. I guess you could tell I was trying to address that...

Also, I'm not sure if you have seen the latest version yet, but I have actually implemented an "Auto-Size" button for a number of the shapes as well (so it seems we were thinking the same thing on that!).

Finally, the issue regarding the reference point for a given shape: If you check out the latest version, and look at the Arc, Bridge or Spiral shapes, I've started making (what I hope is) a much easier way to position and orient your construction -- the "Shape Rotation (deg)" field in the top-left.

Now, rather than having to guess at the X & Z coordinates that would have been necessary to rotate, say, an entire Bridge around it's center point (Y-axis), you can simply change that Shape Rotation and the entire shape pivots. I am hoping this is far more intuitive (rather than guessing at both an X & Z Radius or Length), particularly for all of the non-round shapes; my plan is to retrofit Stairs, Floors and Walls with this field as well.
