World Events Tracker  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 3.2.0
by: bulton-fr [More]

Status tracking for World Events (except Oblivion portal and Nymic Bastion).

Originally called DragonTracker, and originally inspired by the addon World Event Alert (aka Dragon Alert) created by Enodoc.

Dependency :
Features :
  • Display the current status of world events if you are in a zone with it (except oblivion portal and Nymic Bastion).
  • (Elsweyr only) Display the dragon's color
  • (Elsweyr only) Display a timer to know since how long a dragon has a status.
  • (Elsweyr only) Know when the dragon will repop, and display it instead of "killed since"
  • You can switch between location name and cardinal point (see FAQ)

TODO List :
  • #15 Add a command to force to reload the list

FAQ :

Why the timer is not displayed ?
If you just arrived in the zone, the timer will not be displayed. You need to assist to a change of status to have the timer.

Why Oblivion Portal and Nymic Bastion are not working ?
These two types of events are not sending any information to addons when something happens so I can't manage these types of events because I don't receive any information for them.

Why the addon display "killed since..." instead of "repop in..." ?
You need to assist to a kill - repop of one dragon to know the current dragon's repop time.
Also, repop timer only work for Elsweyr's Dragons, not for others world events (yet ?)

How to display location name ?
You can configure it from the settings panel dedicated to the addon.
Also, the previous method with a command still works :
"/worldeventstracker label name" will display location name
"/worldeventstracker label point" will display cardinal point
Also you can use the command "/wet" instead of "/worldeventstracker" if no other addon define it.

Why location name is not displayed at Southern Elsweyr ?
Because dragons daily quests not use a location name but cardinal point, and all landing zone for a same dragon not have the same location name at Southern Elsweyr.


If you want other features, you can ask in comment or on github.

Supported languages are English, French and German (thanks to TNTKokser and Asurason).
If you want help to translate, you can contact me by mp here, in the addon comment, or on github.

Thank you. I didn't think the addon would be so useful when I posted it ^^
And really sorry to answer that now. I didn't even see the time pass during last weeks.

For the moment I can't add that, sorry.
It's because I currently don't know how fight system works from addon and how to know if the game considers that the player participated to the fight or not.
If I have time (probably), I will look to know how this is work
But if I implement that (I will warn you), I probably do another addon because DragonTracker just track dragon status, and not interaction with us

About german translation. I received a translation for the lib (LibDragonWorldEvent) today, but not for DragonTracker. So if you want

I notice a lot of spamming to the chat like
Code:
%s%s: "%s"
EDIT:
sorry, forget this, must be another AddOn I've just updated or installed

great work and keep up

About used name, I asked myself the question at the beginning because the WorldEventAlert addon use original name, but I have choose to display cardinal points because each time I can't remember where such a name is on the map So I had prefered to use cardinal points.
But yes, I can use the original name. So I will add original name and also add a setting to choose the value to use.
I think that's the best way. I will try to do it in the next few days

It's now implemented. By default cardinal point is displayed, and you can change that with a slash command. I explain it in addon's description
About Southern Elsweyr location name, I do not have it for the moment so I will update the addon in few days to add it.

I have the same problems with the german client. The names are overlapping and reading is not easy.





BTW the squares shows wich dragon comes... red (fire) white (ice) black (lightning) and grey (i dont know)

I'm really sorry, I made a fix after your comment and forgot to post it
The fix is now released, I did not reproduce your issue. So I hope that it will fix that, but come back to me if the problem persists

For color squares, like FWSWBN sait it, it's the dragon color.
Red and grey for fire dragons (dragons which was in Northen Elsweyr before dragonhold)
White for ice dragon
Black for storm dragon
Transparent if no dragon, or if the color is not detected.

Re: Re: little visual problem

Tested today, and while there is better, i think it is missing the punctuation if i compare to the first version you made



This make it hard to read

But the text dont overlap anymore and as you will probably notice, the little square have also some difficulty to show full size (one of the reason i tried to re-size it on one of my old pictures)



Between your 2 versions there is 3 lignes which have this little difference, could this be the space missing ?
Code:
ZO_CreateStringId("SI_DRAGON_TRACKER_GUI_REPOP",  ": Repop in ~%d %s")
ZO_CreateStringId("SI_DRAGON_TRACKER_GUI_REPOP",  "%s : Repop in ~%d %s")

ZO_CreateStringId("SI_DRAGON_TRACKER_GUI_REPOP",  "%s : Repop in ~%d %s")
In fact, there are other change since v2.2.0. Before I used 1 label per line to display all info. Now I use 2 labels per line; the first for the location name, and the second for the status.
With this change, I can be sure to align all dragons info, to not create a fake alignment with spaces like before. So I also made the changes you see in translation files.

I do not reproduce your issue, so to find a way to reproduce, I have questions for you.
Do you use an addon to change the font ? I see with the L letter that the font seem to be different. Or maybe a change you made ?
Maybe something else that I think, did you have enabled the custom scale ? (just an idea)

About the square, I see that a border is missing, a change in next patch will decreased the size from 15 to 12. I hope it will be enouth.
