What this does

Switches to saved HUD layout 2 and explicitly shows utility hotbars 7 and 8. It restores a party-oriented information layout after using a solo or low-clutter setup.

How to use

Run it in a safe area before entering content. Confirm the party list, target information, job gauges, and both bars, replacing the example numbers to match your setup.

Requirements

Prepare HUD layout 2 for party play and register the needed actions or markers on hotbars 7 and 8.

    Notes

    The explicit bar commands supplement layout switching when individual visibility states differ. Bar contents are not deleted, but verify the numbers so unrelated bars are not exposed.
