Urich's Hireling Timer Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.1.0

by: fritzOSU03, Onigar, tim99, yachoor

Description
This is a simple window showing how much time is remaining before your hirelings make their next deliveries for each of your characters.

Please Note
From Version 2.1.0 you need to separately install: LibTableFunctions-1.0

Localization
Localization for German, French, and Japanese is included in version 2.0.0. I speak only English so I am very sorry if a translation is incorrect. My only available source was Google Translate. Please message me if you see a translation that can be improved or shortened where space is an issue. Also feel free to provide a complete translation for another language if you would like to see it added to a future update.

Important Information
ZOS' game system is programmed in such a way that mail is not delivered to your inbox until you request that it be delivered to your inbox. So, what does this mean for you? It means that the information isn't delivered until you open the mail screen. In other words, the timers won't tick unless you look at your mail! This also means that the timers may not tick if you use an app that that changes the default mail screen. And finally, latency is another key contributor in the functionality of this app. This means that the timers may not tick if you have lots of lag or lots of add-ons causing a slow game startup.

Slash Commands

/uht - Toggle the addon window. This can be keybound.
/uht bs - Show the elapsed/remaining time since your last blacksmithing hireling mail.
/uht cl - Show the elapsed/remaining time since your last clothing hireling mail.

/uht en - Show the elapsed/remaining time since your last enchanting hireling mail.

How can this problem be solved ? Maybe the problem is in the Russian text? Urich's Coffer Timer work without any problems. Please add cyrillic (RuEso) if you can... Urich's Coffer Timer work with RU, but Urich's Hireling Timer - no. Last edited by True_Bach : 01/25/19 at 06:58 AM.

I know i can just /uht again, but it's a habit to use it

Other than that, great work, keep it up (also using other urich addons).

When I looked in my saved variables I noticed data had been recorded, so it seems odd that this data isn't then reported back to me. Will be interested in hearing what you think is going on here.

The addon looks at the login times and compares those with the time stamps on the hireling mails. The mail time gets saved to a character if a hireling mail is not more than one second before and up to 15 seconds after a login time.

I looked at your saved variables and it appears that it's not recording any times for your mails at all. There are only two possible causes for this to happen. The first is if you're not getting any mails (which we know isn't the case) and the second is server latency. So here's what I think is going on. Sometimes server latency causes the hireling mails to get a time stamp that's earlier than the time you logged on. Mine is not usually more than a second or two but I'm also physically very close to the NA megaserver. I'm adjusting the time window evaluations in the update I had planned to upload this afternoon. Giving it a +/- 15 second window should be more than enough while still being impossible to log out and log on to another character that quickly. Should have the new one up shortly.

I get around 230ms latency (Oceanic player). Although when I log in or change zone my latency changes to like 500ms or so for a second or two.

Is it also possible that timestamps get confused by my (currently, in summer daylight saving time) GMT+13 timezone vs whatever time the server uses?
