Known Bug:
Switch LFG role followed by starting queue in addon, it will cause the wrong display of role in Group UI.
I guess that it skips the time point of updating UI and locked by dungeon searching.
It doesn't matter, the new finder of this addon shows the actual role.

Contant:
This is my first time writing an addon for ESO. I learned a lot from Undaunted Pledge Queuer, Pithka's Achievement Tracker, Circonians TextureIt and try some other ways to get undaunted dungeon and setids related to dungeon.I have tested this addon in en and zh, and guessed the language won't affect its functions. But I can't guarantee that the interface of finder will be neat and beautiful in all languages.

If you have any suggestion or bug to report, feel free to send me mails in-game on EU or comments/messages here.

0.50:
It can automatically highlight the current dungeon which drop mask style via the onsale weapon packs. Realizing this with no sense is actually very difficult.

The game tells us "You or a member of your group queued too recently.". In such situation the BDF window should show us that timer. Maybe update the "Queue!" button's text with the remaining time and then turn it back to "Queue!" when it is ready. Last edited by Omenpapa : 05/12/24 at 06:48 AM.

That is actually something i did not consider. But i'm sure there is a way to at least do this with name ASC DES. * Get language the client is using * Grab all dungeon name strings for that language in an array * Sort the array by name with the dafault lua functions * Output them in that order Your current new option ( thank you for that ) allows for a semi "favourite" dungeon system, but i feel like a Sort by Name button still wouln't hurt next to the up and down arrows. As for the tooltips : You already have them on some items used in EDF. You can also set a custom delay before they show up, so they are not obstructing views.

In fact, SDC has always had a similar feature and listed in addon instructions, right along with a few other detail features.
Double-clicking on the icon of any Skyshards, SDC will selects all normal difficulty of the dungeons with uncollected skill points.
One flaw, it doesn't automatically deselect that one after completing, like SDC do to undaunted quest dungeons.

I did not know that, cool. Doubleclick was not too intuitive based on the visuals of the UI, but I see value in it to avoid accidental selection override.

Regarding the undaunted quest dialogues.. could you speed up the automatic interaction speed? We certainly do not want to read the messages there, and compared to other addons(ex.: lazy writ and daily board interaction), the delay is a bit too long.

From my experience with another addon, adjusting the interaction speed is a very annoying thing.
The interaction speeds acceptable to the player are not quite the same for different hardware and network conditions.There are also differences in the process of craft and undaunted quests in particular, using much less safe functions in BDF.
So it's currently maintained at a very conservative speed to ensure stability.

I do run a lot of dungeons on a daily basis. If you would give me some direction where can I adjust that interaction speed value, I would be happy to test it and provide feedback if I encountered any issues.

If it is based on hardware+internet, that means the ideal, stable speed should be different for everyone. That implies that a slider could be useful, probably with a warning, that going higher than X can result in a buggy behavior, so you do not recommend it.

Also pretty much everything is missing tooltips.

The idea that ordering by name is ridiculous was one of the original design points of BDF
And the reason I really don't want to add this is that that would require maintaining a reasonable order for all the official languages. And arranging the dungeons by release time is definitely a much more generic and logical choice. Especially since every 2 DLC dungeons are sold in a bundle
If you must insist, modify the key values of the dungeons in Data.lua, and you can customize any ordering, noting that the numbering needs to be consecutive

The toolbar is deliberately not used much to avoid obscuring the check box. All the notes are in the upper left corner

2, Not sure if this request is in the scope of this addon or not, so feel free to ignore it, but autopressing release when we die in a bg would be nice too.

3,Left alignment text looks great! Thanks!

4, This is not a real request from me, it is just a possibility to improve the addon sometimes in the future, IF it is relatively easy to implement. You have the undaunted quest to be focused if available in a dungeon. Something similiar could be useful If there is the basic quest there which gives the skill point.

1. The option to customize the alarm sound will be added later. In order to avoid automatic confirm that leads to interruption of the alarm, the stop condition of the alarm has a more complex setting.
2、This is a bit beyond the scope of BDF.
4, To be considered, but the game has the option of automatic quest tracking.
And skill point quests are usually picked up in dungeon, and naturally selected. And unlike dauntless quests, skill point quests usually don't have any special requirements. So this feature is not being considered at this time.

Your UI in its current form is 100% not it. Its SUPER bad.

And both addons above show you how to do it correctly. Like why are your dungeons not sorted by name .. or pledge status .. or completion status ?!

I was using the first addon you linked in the past, and found out about this addon because as you said that one is not working currently.

I had the same feeling before trying out this addon. The natural implementation utilizing the default UI felt.. well.. natural. However after spending some time with this addon.. there is really no going back. The simple fact that we don't have to scroll for dungeons is just soo good. I suggest you give it a try.
