BuffTimers  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.4
by: coolmodi, Grashek
Update for 2.7:
I'm not playing ESO anymore, so I don't actively maintain this addon. Thanks to Grashek sending me a fix for API changes I uploaded an update for 2.7 though.


Want to really see that one single buff you want to keep up 24/7 for max. dps, or maybe a short duration buff that is hard to keep track of between all the other buff symbols? I wanted to, but couldn't find an addon for that. So here it is, the next addon in the line of addons with a crappy name convention:

BuffTimers! (doesn't only work for buffs)

Update 1.31:
  • Updated to new API version
  • Can now show multiple notifications at once, each will fade after beeing shown the set duration.
  • Notifications will now work again correctly if an effect didn't run out completely after the notification fired before.
  • (WIP) Custom filters: On recieving X start timer for Y. A bar for Y has to be configured! E.g. Molten Armaments doesn't give you the Major Sorcery buff, use this to make it start the Major Sorcery bar too.

What is this exactly?
With this you can make completely stand-alone timer bars for one specific spell each. You just go in settings (see pictures), choose how many bars you want, and then choose for every bar what spell it should show, also the size, colors and optional notifications(sound+text) can be customized.

READ BELOW BEFORE USE!

Due to how the game/API works tracking some things isn't as straight forward as you might expect.
  1. The effectname is not always the same as the spell that causes it (extreme case: Cleansing Ritual from templars, the effect is called Healing Ritual. Yes, like the other spell...)! I included a debug mode that will output all effect changes into chat, activate it by /buti d or in settings, then use the spell you want to track and check how it's actually called.
  2. Additionally some spells have multiple effects with the same name which can cause the spell to not be tracked correctly by the addon. In this case I have to implement special handlers/filters to make it work. If you encounter such a spell please activate debug (see 1.) and send me the complete output that using that spell produces. Use my author portal for that or leave a comment, a screen of the whole chat output is probably the easiest way
    Example of what I need (here Cleansing Ritual): i.imgur.com/8GY82WH.png
About profiles:
You can create, rename and delete profiles in settings.
Loading profiles can also be done in settings or with /buti profilename/ID, you can output a list with profilenames and their ID with /buti p.
(Important: Deleting profiles will decrease the ID of every profile above by one!)

Loading a profile with more bars than currently active will reload the UI, loading one with less will set the loaded profile's number to the previous profile's setting and lock the additional bars. That will prevent further loading screens in the future and also won't change the UI of the loaded profile.

Chat commands
/buti d Toggles debug mode.
/buti s Opens settings panel.
/buti p List profiles.
/buti profilename/ID Load profile by name or ID.

Desperation

I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say that we would LOVE an update to this add-on. It's the BEST buff addon out there, and since Homestead, has had some issues with picking up other players abilities, etc. I know there were some API changes, unfortunately this add-on suffered as a result.

Thanks and hope to see update soon!

Merciless resolve and a few other NB abilities no longer show up and activate timer.

PLz/thanks.

YOU ARE SO AWESOME BTW, love this addon.

*edit: Changed merciless resolve to the buff it gives, minor berserk. Works.

Odd bug, I found after update.

So I haven't received a UI error I just noticed this running around with groups and no groups. BuffTimers now activates on other player's spell. For example, I have a timer for Liquid Lightning and Blockade of Fire. If someone uses one of those spell around me the countdown timer begins and/or refreshes my timers.

Not sure what to call this. Thank you for BuffTimers!

Only Show in Combat?

Does anyone know how to get the bars to only show when you're in combat? I selected 'Always Show' then deselected it and it made them go away outside combat, but then as soon as I cast my abilities, they show up as expected but then stay again in all windows even the CP screen and the like. Please help, this is annoying.

I'm trying to set up a separate bar for when relentless focus procs and the spectral bow ability can be used.
It looks like relentless focus has 2 ID's 62108 and 63974. 62108 refreshes with each hit until it procs, and then 63074 gets applied. They are both named relentless focus, so I can't see a way to set this up, is there a way to track the ID instead?

EDIT: I just read the rest of the comments. Whelp.

I quit ESO some time ago and probably won't come back any time soon, so don't expect any updates.
If anybody wants to maintain this just PM me, or use the code to make your own addon, just give credit in that case.

Is this addon still in development or did u abandon it/leave ESO? I am currently developing a similar addon (if u know World of Warcraft u probably know "Weak Auras 2" or "Power Auras") and tried contacting you several times, but i never got any response.

Cheers,
Letho

Really a very nice and unseful addon, thx for the hard work!

Concerning the problem with IDs: Can it be solved by hardcoding all buffs/debuffs into the addon? E.g. manually creating a table that contains every id, source spells included, and simply put them together internally?

One other functionality that would be really useful is sth. like trigger based activation, e.g.
"if duration(major sorcery) <= 5 seconds then display bufficon and play a (custom) sound"
"if duration(major sorcery) == 0 then display bufficon greyed out and with 20% more size"

Cheers

I can add that I think, never had that problem though as buffs always just run out if I go in menus
