World Events Tracker Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.2.0

by: bulton-fr [More]

Github

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).

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: little visual problem

Due to health issues i am not able to test in game actually as i have to rest a lot and not move. As soon as i can i will post the result. Sorry

And of course .... yes i need the custome scale.

So if the result is caused by me no worry i can use the first version without any problem. In fact myself i prefer the first version, without the square.

So as it is working really well for me, all is good.

But check the comment because someone else had the same problem as me, so ask him the same questions in case

Thank you for trying

I tried to play with the custom scale and that seems to be what's causing the problem. I have published a fix (I hope ^^).
About squares, it seems to miss a border with the custom scale, but I don't know how to fix that :/

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")

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.

Thank you

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.

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)

yeah, thats would be very nice

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.
