Version: 1.1.13

by: stjobe [More]

I'm not playing ESO any more, so I won't be updating this addon. Sorry!

SorcererHelper
An addon for sorcerers that gently reminds you to keep your minions and buffs up, and alerts you when your abilities (like Crystal Fragments) proc.

Features

Two types of icons: Reminders and Alerts, in two different windows
Alert icons are twice the size of Reminder icons
Reminders and Buffs can be individually turned on or off
Alerts display a countdown of seconds remaining
Option to hide reminders when in menus - New in 1.1.9!
Current Reminders:
- Summons (Familiar/Clannfear and Winged Twilight)
- Mage's Light
- Bound Armor
Current Alerts:
- Crystal Fragments
- Surge
- Lightning Form
- Expert Hunter (experimental)
- Daedric Curse - New in 1.1.9!
Does not load on non-sorcerer characters

Controls

Left-click and drag to reposition the windows (for Alerts, it's easiest to set "Show repositioning help" to ON in the settings)
You can turn off a feature if you do not want or need it in the settings panel

Known Issues

Expert Hunter tracking is experimental; it more than likely does nothing.
Crystal Fragments countdown does not reset if it re-procs - I can't think of a way to detect that.
Daedric Curse timer tracks from when it was cast, not from when it affects the target. As such, it might be off by a second or two depending on the distance to the target.

Possible Future Features
(A.K.A the "I'll do it if I come up with a clever way of doing it" list)

Mage's Fury Alert
Entropy healing tracking
Summoned creature HP display

1.1.13
* Bumped API version to 100009

1.1.12
* Maintenance release to comply with new API version

1.1.11
* Maintenance release to comply with new addon terms of use and new API version

1.1.10
* Attempt at fixing the Spell Symmetry issue
* Added check to not fire off more than one key scanner
* Now turns off key scanning if not needed

1.1.9
* Added option to hide Reminders in menus
* Added Alert for Daedric Curse

1.1.8
* Fixed a bug where the timers would count down 2 seconds instead of 1

1.1.7
* Fixed a bug where the Bound Armor Reminder was showing even when the ability wasn't slotted
* Bumped API version number for Craglorn.

1.1.6
* Trying to fix Surge alerts from proccing on e.g. Molten Weapon buffs by adding that the buff needs to be more than 20 points of weapon power.
* Added timers to Crystal Fragments, Surge, and Lightning Form Alerts.
* Added Reminder for Bound Armor

1.1.5
* Adjustment to when the icons are allowed to fade out (trying to fix the "sticky CF proc" bug).

1.1.4
* Finally fixed the SavedVariables bug.

1.1.3
* Reworked how Surge and Lightning Form are tracked; they should now show properly for their whole duration.
* Another shot at fixing the bug with the OFF setting not being respected.

1.1.2
* Fixed a bug where some Alerts were ignoring the OFF setting.

1.1.1

1.1.0
* Rewrote large parts of the code to enable easier adding of more Reminders and Alerts
* Added border textures and animations to all icons
* Added tracking of Mage's Light, Surge, and Lightning Form
* Fixed a bug that would stop the CF proc from showing when normal cost was an odd number.

1.0.4

* Fixed an erroneous local function

1.0.3

1.0.2
* Fixed a bug that could stop the CFProc window from being created.

Yeah, that might happen when you re-cast it while it's active and I miss the keypress.

Due to how the API works, I can't get the actual duration for Surge (or Lightning Form), so I have to wing it. The way I wing it is that I check for the graphic to be applied to the character (which is an event I can listen for) and set the timer to the current time plus the duration of the buff. Then, I check the game time every time the main loop runs, and subtract that from the timer, leaving the number of seconds left. This works perfectly until you recast the buff while it's running - because then the actual in-game duration resets, but I have no way of knowing this.

So what I do is I run a key scanner every 0.2 seconds that listens for action button key presses and checks if it is your action button with Surge or Lightning Form that was pressed. If it is, I reset the corresponding timer.

This can fail to pick up really, really short key presses once in a while, and then the timer will go into negative numbers - because the alert is shown until the graphic of the buff is removed (another event I can listen for).

So, to make a long story short: Yes. This may happen, and there's not much I can do about it short of running the key scanner more often (which I'm loath to do due to performance reasons) and hoping that Zenimax adds proper buff reporting back to the API.

Not really, other than what you can read below; that we've confirmed it's not a regular buff.

Unless someone can provide me with details about just how it works so I can figure out a way to detect it, it's going to have to wait until I can get the ability on my sorcerer.

Oh, is this what has been crushing my FPS lately? I was wondering which add-on got updated and started hosing my gaming. I have had to run heavy runs without any add-on's in the past couple of days. I am 83 or so down to around low 30's during heavy battles.

I've added some checks in 1.1.10 to not start the key scanner if it's not needed or if it's already running, please let me know if this helps with your issue.

I've taken a stab at resolving that issue in 1.1.10, please let me know if it worked (I don't have Spell Symmetry myself, so I can't test it).

only thing i used it for was tracking my critical surge time and i chunked my fps for 60 to 30-25 fps making the game unplayerable

Strange, I haven't seen any performance hit myself, but I'll look into it.

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it for the next update.

Seems to work if you change line 409 to Lua Code: if SH.SV.ShowProc then if SH.Slotted[3] == true then local cost = GetSlotAbilityCost(SH.CFSlot) if cost ~= 0 and SH.CFCost == 0 then SH.CFCost = cost elseif cost <= (SH.CFCost + 1) / 2 then SH.CFProc = true else SH.CFProc = false SH.CFTimer = GetSecondsSinceMidnight() + 8 end end end Last edited by Eggi : 06/01/14 at 03:54 AM.

1.1.9 released

Implemented in 1.1.9, with the caveat that the timer starts when you cast the curse, not when it starts affecting the target. Depending on the distance to the target, this may mean that the timer is off by a second or more.

Also implemented a toggle to hide Reminders when menus are open.

I have no idea what kind of buff that is and whether it's trackable. But I'll look into it, although I must warn you that I don't currently have that ability on my Sorcerer so it might take a while.

Probably not.

This is meant to be an addon for Sorcerer-specific things, not a general buff/debuff tracker or a set item tracker.

Also, there already exists an addon called Set Buddy, which is a set item tracker for all classes (and which currently allows you to track the Warlock set).

Thank you, hearing that makes what was a rather crappy day much better. I'm glad you enjoy the addon

Yeah, I figured as much. But that's one hypothesis tested and rejected; EH is not a regular player buff

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
