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.

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

Thanks. I gave this addon a try this morning, just thought I'd mention that the way you toggle output to chat via /worldevents chat is not documented anywhere on the Addon info page or in the addon itself. I had to find the commmand in the changelog page when it was added. Might want to consider adding something just to make it a little more clear to less-experienced addon users how to toggle it, as it's not very clear. Or even a toggle option for each type of event in settings so that it's easy to change.

Once toggled to chat I would like the world event popup and the drumbeat sound effect to be suppressed, if possible, as I don't see the need for both popup and chat at the same time. The popup one can be quite "intrusive" whereas the chat version is subtle and preferable.

There is an option for each alert to be on OFF

Yeah the only customisation at the moment is just On or Off for each type of alert, plus a chat command toggle for output in Chat.

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.

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.

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?

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?
