* Added timers to Crystal Fragments, Surge, and Lightning Form Alerts.
* Added Reminder for Bound Armor

1.1.4

Out of 5+ characters, the ONLY one lagging with fps issues is my Sorcerer, so I'm trying to narrow it down.

Thanks In Advance!

Is the addon-on author still playing/reading this forum?
If anyone else reads this, could you KINDLY take a moment to let me know if this addon affects your FPS in a negative way?

Thanks.

Not as such... I never intended for this to be a general buff tracker; it's really difficult tracking buffs with the API calls we have available, one has to jump through all kinds of hoops to do it properly (see some of the previous comments here for examples).

That said, I'll have a look at them and see what can be done.

I'm busy as hell at work right now though (every single project manager wants their pet project completed and pushed to the production servers before the summer vacation code freeze), so it'll be at least another week before I can even start looking at addon development again.

This is a really nice addon. Look forward to your work freeing you up to advance it again.

When you get back into it.. The settings are global, and it would be great to customize per Sorcerer. Or because this mod has use beyond sorcerers, per character if you will.

Sinful Soul Forum posts: 1 File comments: 176 Uploads: 0	I just tried the add-on yesterday and I'm constantly getting this while in Cyrodiil: Only way to fix it is by doing /reloadui but doing /reloadui in a middle of a big pvp fight isn't really ideal. And even after doing a /reloadui it'll bug again soon after. This hasn't happened outside Cyrodiil yet tho.

Also as a side note, it seems that on line 305 you are using incorrect first parameter for GetAbilityProgressionAbilityInfo method - at least for me GetSkillAbilityInfo for the curse gave 16.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, I'll look into that for the next release.

As I said when I first implemented it, Daedric Curse is tricky to track; the in-game timer starts when the slow-moving effect hits the target but there's no way to detect that. Therefore I start the timer (or at least I thought I did; I'll be looking at your bug report) when you cast it; it's the best I can do but it might be off by a second or two.

well it works quite accurately - if the distance to the target doesn't change, then it's fine to cast curse again when it is 0, since the "lag" of the timer = "lag" of the cast.

BTW, since the curse is 3.5 sec actually, not 3, tried to change it to 3.5, and was stuck with the method you use to determine the current time, which has only seconds. Switched to milliseconds, and resorted to do a bit of rounding for graphical labels to be pretty.
That's what I have eventually:
function SH.roundtomult(num, mult)
return math.floor((num*mult)+0.5)/mult;
end
SH.CurseTimer = SH.roundtomult(GetGameTimeMilliseconds()/1000,2) + 3.5
also changed key scanner to 100ms and main loop to 500ms. Works like a charm

Looking at the code it seems there is a check for GetUnitClassId which I think checks for the class Sorcerer.

Code:

if GetUnitClassId("player") ~= 2 then

Is this why it isn't working or is something misbehaving on my add-on?

That is correct. When the addon loads, it checks if you're a Sorcerer (ClassId == 2). If you're not, in unregisters from all events and exits.

Anything is possible

This addon started out as a reminder to summon your daedra and to alert you when Crystal Fragments proc, everything else has been added from user requests - and that's why Mage's Light is in there; someone asked if it could be included.

Apart from Mage's Light (and the non-functioning Expert Hunter alert), everything else is Sorcerer-specific. That's why that check is there; when I added it there was nothing for non-Sorcerer in the addon so it didn't make any sense to have it run on non-Sorcerer characters.

I guess I can make the ClassId check optional, but in the meantime you can always modify your copy to not have the check.

Ah, I had missed that it has different durations for the different morphs (I only use the un-morphed one myself):
Surge: 17s
Critical Surge: 20s
Power Surge: 34s

I'll fix that for the next update, thanks for the heads-up

I'm creating these addons because I like to code, not because I expect to get paid.

That said, if you feel like throwing a few coins my way, I'm not going to stop you
