DrumsUI Spell Timer add-on

[alugilac]

I'm working on integrating this into Profit and was wondering if this will work as a stand alone addon.

I can see the spell list window and I can see the tracking window, but when I click edit, it brings up the eq2maps POI editor and I'm not sure why.

Any thoughts?

I'll release it as a standalone mod soon. I don't have the time to explain what files, and how to incorporate them as standalone. You'd have to dig through the files and code.

Sounds good, thank you for the addon, its great.

I did some testing and found something interesting.

For each spell I casted that my current addon uses that displays the bars we talked about at the start of the thread, I lost 2fps per bar.

that's a lot of loss, so I'm eager to do a change over, so it good to hear a stand alone will come soon.


Thank you!

For every extra window on screen you will see a fps decrease, including Icons displaying. It seems to be a dynamic data thing, as well as just how the UI engine runs. The spell timer mods that have the constant color changing code seems to cause a lot more of a performance hit however. So I tried to use a little updating code as possible, while still allowing up to 15 spells to be tracked.

Is there anyway to get timers like these for procs off of adornments? i would love to see how often certain adornments actually proc

[Drumstix42]

Literally the only spells it can track are those that go into maintained window.
Anything else is currently impossible via the UI.

There's not too much I can do for varying resolutions. Players that run at super resolutions request bigger windows, and those at smaller resolutions, ask for smaller windows. Without easy ways to scale the UI, I cannot easily code it to adapt. Sorry mate.

I'd suggest hiding things you don't always need, such as minimap, clock, extra chat windows (use tabs instead). Other than that, I'm not too sure.

Hello, sorry to ask probably a newbie question. I am using Profit UI and I downloaded Your Drums standalone Spell Timer add on. I assumed I installed correctly. the spell timer settings window pops up and also the spell timer window shows up too. Just when I click on the Edit button, I get another window popping up with Places of Interests. Could I please get some help to see what I may have done wrong or if u can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thankyou for ur time in reading my post.
p.s. the DrumsUI spell Timer version I downloaded is 2011.8.17 just in case u needed to know.=)

Make sure the file "eq2ui_popup_add_poi.xml" is correctly installed from the zip as well as "eq2map_ignorelist.xml". If you are missing the ignorelist file, EQ2maps will overwrite the file and that will cause your problem to occur.

The mod shares the Point of Interest window to be able to save options, so all files be must extracted to your UI folder. Try installing/unzipping it again.

Might be too much to ask but.. It would be nice if you could select for the spell to use recast timer or effects timer being they are normally longer and would give you a more accurate recast.

Just a Idea
