Features

OPie ships with several pre-configured (or self-configuring) action rings for you to use – but what are those?


OPie rings are sets of "slices" (actions – spells, items, companions, other rings, and more) that appear when you press a ring-specific hotkey. You can then select which slice you want to use by moving your mouse in its general direction. When you release the binding, the action assigned to that slice is performed.

Ring Indication

Indication screenshot

When you press a hotkey bound to a specific ring, OPie shows the ring selection indicator. By moving your mouse to the desired action's sector and then releasing the ring hotkey, you select the action to execute.

The amount of information that is displayed as you press the ring binding can be configured using the /opie options. In general, the center ring and the rotating pointer are always displayed, and may change color in response to the currently selected actions; the ring glows if that action can be performed (i.e. target of the spell is in range and so on).

Additionally, icons and cooldowns of individual slices (and even sub-rings) can be displayed to assist you in making the selection. You can rotate sub-rings by scrolling using your mouse wheel.
