Suggestion: Custom Category/Group for Custom Entries

[XIV-Enjoyer]

Instead of me asking you to constantly be moving specific things to my specifications, I had a different idea.

Why not have a custom list made by the user to assign entries to? Then could sort or display by that list too?

So for stuff like Weather mobs in OC, I'd make a "Weather Mobs" category and assign each entry that.

Been pondering this idea for a week and some change now. I do like the concept, the UX may be a little awkward at first. My initial thought was to support 'levels' of customization, which is more or less how the current configs work, where there's the generic config and then the more specific DD config then the even more specific mob ID config.

But I think the better approach here would be to give mobs the choice of either category config or baseid config. This would make a mob category mutually exclusive with the ID-based config, which I think would simplify some of the UX issues I had thought of. I can't really see a case where there shouldn't be that mutual exclusivity.

The only major issue I've thought of is that some of the original ImGui logic for the 3d draws don't handle HP and other mob-specific things well, and may or may not error out if you ask an object (with no health values) to render a health bar, for example.

I'm not sure I'm going to put time into this feature immediately, but it is on my radar as I think its got great use cases. Ideally transitioning existing config into the category-based config would be rather easy, as well.

Awesome. I'm gonna keep on taking notes of things I think are super useful. I actually went back to Eureka to take note of the Bunnies and Elementals. The bunnies I added are the ones that follow you after doing the Fate, it's so I could disable them showing up when the radar was active so there wasn't an aggro circle following me haha.

The 1129 is the chest in the elemental rooms in BA. 11980/11987 is the duo boss in Castrum Lacus Latore, an 12179 is the prisoners also in CLL. I haven't been in there since readding that entry. Just personal stuff I like to keep track of.

BTW, about that debug I showed you before in Glamourer: According to the Penumbra discord, the the thing that linked BNPCs to the data IDs was done through something called Gubal, which is broken now, so it hasn't worked since 7.2. So the IDs for each thing have to be noted in person, and not through a datamine.
