Mansu’s InstanceReset (1.0.0)

The code was generated with an AI assistant under the author’s direction – details and credits at the end of this description.

Mansu’s InstanceReset puts the Dungeon Mode setting of the group window (Normal / Veteran) on two bindable keys, so you no longer have to open the group window to reset an instance or to change the mode.

WHAT IT DOES

– Reset instance: one press switches the dungeon mode to the other value and straight back. The mode ends where it started. Switching the mode and back is the usual way to get a fresh dungeon instance without disbanding the group.
– Toggle dungeon mode: one press switches between Normal and Veteran and stays there.

Bind the keys under Settings > Controls > Keybindings > Mansu’s InstanceReset. Nothing is bound by default.

Each change is confirmed by the game’s usual alert and sound (“Dungeon difficulty changed to Veteran.” / “Dungeon difficulty changed to Normal.”), so a reset shows the two messages one after the other.

CHAT COMMANDS

/mir – prints the current mode, whether you can change it, and the commands
/mir reset – same as the Reset key
/mir toggle – same as the Toggle key
/mir vet – sets Veteran
/mir normal – sets Normal

/instancereset is an alias of /mir.

GOOD TO KNOW

– The add-on only switches the mode, exactly the way the two buttons of the group window do. The instance reset itself is done by the game.
– Leave the instance first: the game does not let you change the mode while you are inside a dungeon.
– The game also refuses when you are in a group and not its leader, in a group created by the activity finder, with an active Group Finder listing, or below level 50. The add-on then shows the game’s own explanation.
– Forum reports say the instance resets right away when you lead a group, and that a solo character may have to wait a few minutes for the old instance to expire.
– While a change is waiting for the server’s answer (2 seconds at most), further key presses are ignored.
– No settings, no saved variables, no dependencies. The add-on’s own texts are in English and French.

AI DISCLOSURE

The code of this add-on was generated with an AI assistant (Anthropic Claude) under my direction, working from the official ESO UI source (esoui). I have not audited every line myself. Bug reports are welcome in the comments.

CREDITS

Resetting instances from a key already exists in Raidificator (code65536, Olivierko), which does it by disbanding and reforming the group. Its ESOUI page (not its code) was reviewed while designing this add-on. This add-on uses a different method (switching the dungeon mode) and no code was taken from it. The checks and the alert texts come from ZeniMax’s own UI code.
