Defiler Monitor


- Based on Dragowulf's Spell Timer window 

- this UI element just moves things around to optimize it for my own usage as a Defiler. 

- It's still fully configurable, much like Dragowulf's original 

-- To make this mod work with you must edit the spell config file is _DefilerMonitor_Settings.txt, where you can edit which spells you'd like displayed in this window.


-------------------------------------------------------



Optional: Pandon's Shutdown/camp to char select Featrure:
Supports up to 10 characters


NOTE: In order for this mod to work you have to edit the xml file. 

- Eq2ui_mainhud_Shutdown 

- located within the UI/DrumsUI folder.

- To do this, right-click on the xml file and select Edit (or Open With > Notepad). 

- For each character name you want to add your character name., search and replace '[Character2]'


<Button Location="10,60" Name="Char2" OnPress="camp [Character2] ;hide_window MainHud.shutdown" PackLocation="center,bottom" PackSize="Fixed,Fixed" ScrollExtent="170,30" Size="170,30" Style="/CommonElements.PushButton.data.style" Tooltip=":7dd2e4e913d22424:/camp [Character2]">:7dd2e4e9d7cfddc7:[Character2]</Button>


Every place it says [CharacterX] (there are 3 of them - OnPress, ToolTip and before the </Button> tag), replace that with the character name you want on the shutdown mod like this:

<Button Location="10,60" Name="Char2" OnPress="camp Fumanchu ;hide_window MainHud.shutdown" PackLocation="center,bottom" PackSize="Fixed,Fixed" ScrollExtent="170,30" Size="170,30" Style="/CommonElements.PushButton.data.style" Tooltip=":7dd2e4e913d22424:/camp Fumanchu">:7dd2e4e9d7cfddc7:Fumanchu</Button>

Buff Immunity Timers/Notification v2.01 by Aditu of Permafrost (ACT Author) aditu@maine.rr.com

Synopsis:

- The purpose of this UI mod is to create timers for buff immunities that are applied for things like Jester's Cap or Gravitas.  The immunity icon is only easily visible to the recipient of the original buff and not the caster.  

- The UI will display five timers displayed as a character name and a progress bar of the time elapsed.  Once the immunity time elapses the progress bar will have reached full where the timer will be reset for future use and an overlay will appear for four seconds saying a specific character has lost their immunity.

- The timer window is not required to be visible at all times to make use of it.  If kept hidden, it will still track the immunity timers and automatically show itself for the duration of the overlay alert then hide itself once again.  In either case an audio alert will sound during this time as well, identical to the sound when attuning an inventory item.


Usage:

- Once the UI mod is installed, by default it is not visible on your screen in-game.  

- To show the mod window, type or put into an EQ2 macro: (CASE SENSITIVE)

/show_window Custom.BuffImmunity


Editing the File Jcap // Gravitas:

- The default settings for the mod is to monitor "Jester's Cap" and set the immunity timer for 120 seconds. 

- If you are a Dirge with Gravitas, you will have to edit the UI mod file and on line six replace "Jester's Cap" with "Gravitas". 

- Gravitas immunity is affected by song duration mods, so you may have to account for that also.

NPC Spellcast Monitor (Ctrl+Shift+T) By DarqUI

New for version 2.21, the Spellcast Monitor includes an optional spell timer overlay. Wade into battle and the Spellcast Monitor will begin collecting NPC spells and cast times. Countdown timer bars can be configured for specific recast estimates, or the monitor can collect a history of casting intervals for you. When the encounter is over, the timers shut down automatically. New shortcuts in the DarqUI setup utility make it easy to add your target's name (%TT), implied target's name (%IT), and the name of the spell being cast (%S) into chat channel announcements.

(Ctrl+Shift+T)
