Mahonri's Timer Window

Mahonri · #1 10-09-2005, 01:19 AM

This thread is for discussing Mahonri's Timer Window.

First off, in way of a disclaimer, I do not claim to be anything close a programmer. I am an art and design guy myself, so this particular mod was a chore. That's likely because I probably did it all the hard way.

If anyone finds any problems with my timer window, please let me know. I am also extremely intereseted in knowing if there was an easier way of setting up the mess known as my Timer Settings window. My limited knowledge and understanding of programming facilitaded a messy and lengthy set of commands. So, if anyone feels inclined to delve into the depths of this mod please do, and let me know if you see stuff that can be done better.

Also, I'm not huge into timing stuff myself (just wanted to tackle the challenge) so if the durations that I included need adjusting such as replacing a useless duration for a more common time, please let me know that as well.

Thanks and enjoy!

Thanks for making something more useful out of it.

Love the mod...

Possible to put a "close window" icon on the timer window itself?

It is entirely possible, but to gain access to it again would require typing show_window mainhud.timer into the chat window (or making a macro of that). I have been toying with the idea of making a Mahonri's Start Button that would give the option to open any of my custom windows with a click, so look for that sometime in the future too.

Here ya go, valesai. You should be able to hide the close button by selecting a window setting that does not include the titlebar. I haven't tested it in-game myself though. Let me know if you have any problems.

by any chance, would it be possible to add the following:

1) timer to count in seconds
2) a count-down feature
3) a count-up feature?
4) support to play a .wav or .mp3 file when time finished?

if you could get any of those things included i would use this ALOT!

Cannot see close button and only option under window settings is frame only. No titlebar setting. The command hide_window mainhud.timer does not close the window either. Like the timer but do not like it up all the time. What do I need to modify to make it hide?

Okay, I'm a bunglebrain. Mod works great. Close window appears just fine. Awesome job Mahonri. Copied wrong darn file. Oh well. I've done worse, trust me. Thanks for the great mod. It comes in handy.
