World Event Alert (aka Dragon Alert)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.4.2
by: Enodoc [More]
Notifications for Elsweyr Dragons, Harrowstorms, Dark Anchors, Abyssal Geysers and Volcanic Vents!

Features
  • Popup notification when a dragon spawns in Elsweyr (as long as you are also in Elsweyr)
  • Popup notification when a harrowstorm spawns in Western Skyrim, the Reach and Blackreach
  • Popup notification when a Dark Anchor spawns in any base game zone
  • Popup notification when an Abyssal Geyser spawns in Summerset
  • Popup notification when a Volcanic Vent spawns in High Isle and Amenos

Note that this add-on does not work for other world events (Oblivion Portals) because they do not trigger the World Event activator.

Known Issues
  • Volcanic Vents trigger the alert twice. This is a game API error, not an error with the add-on.

Requirements

  • Added support for Galen Volcanic Vents. Thanks to Anceane for getting the location IDs!

Great Idea

Love the addon; nice concept

What do you think about adding Summerset Geysers (under a toggle option), also?

These aren't considered a "World Event" according to the game API

Yeah I looked for an API for those (and for Dark Anchors) but there doesn't seem to be one. Otherwise, I would have indeed added them!

It is not intended to work outside of Elsweyr, so if it is showing up when not in Elsweyr, let me know.

I don't think that's possible - as far as I can tell, a World Event only fires something to the API when you're in the zone where the World Event takes place.

Thanks for add on!

Would it be possible to also get a message in chat (system)? I like to keep things like logs and events in chat so I can see it later if I don't have time to read it when it pop up on centre message during a fight what that message was about.

If it wouldn't be too much work, would it be possible to make a window (text and/or icons to indicate which is which Dragon) where all three Dragon can be shown as sometimes they pop up almost at same time?

Hey there! Chat messages can now be toggled on with /worldevents chat.

What sort of things were you thinking of for the "window" of where the dragons are? Reading what you want it to do, doesn't the map with the dragon markers basically cover that already?

Arrow World Event Alert Chat Output - BUG

Originally Posted by Enodoc

This is toggled on by default. It is spamming Chat with data which is useless to me, personally. I know that the feature was requested, but you should document this Chat command toggle on the Addon Info tab for World Event Alert -- and leave it OFF by default.

UPDATE: When I use the Chat command, a message is displayed that World Event Alert output to Chat is toggled on or that it is toggled off. Regardless, when toggled off, World Event Alert continues to output the same lines to Chat as it has since the developer implemented the feature.

By the way, sometimes World Event Alert displays a notice on the HUD while my character is in Western Skyrim or in The Reach. There are no dragons in those zones! Which basically means that I must disable the add-on unless my character wants to hunt dragons in Northern Elsweyr or Southern Elsweyr.

Oh sorry, that's not the chat output feature (which is indeed off by default), that's some debugging code which I apparently forgot to disable. I'll push an update soon to get rid of that.

Is there an update planned for addressing the World Event Alerts that are occurring in Western Skyrim and the Reach?
(I assume the Alert is possibly being triggered by the Harrowstorms, but the alert text just mentions a dragon without a spawn location.)

Hmm... I'll have a look and see if I can find out what's causing that. Harrowstorms didn't used to trigger anything.
