Version: 1.1.13

by: stjobe [More]

I'm not playing ESO any more, so I won't be updating this addon. Sorry!

SorcererHelper
An addon for sorcerers that gently reminds you to keep your minions and buffs up, and alerts you when your abilities (like Crystal Fragments) proc.

Features

Two types of icons: Reminders and Alerts, in two different windows
Alert icons are twice the size of Reminder icons
Reminders and Buffs can be individually turned on or off
Alerts display a countdown of seconds remaining
Option to hide reminders when in menus - New in 1.1.9!
Current Reminders:
- Summons (Familiar/Clannfear and Winged Twilight)
- Mage's Light
- Bound Armor
Current Alerts:
- Crystal Fragments
- Surge
- Lightning Form
- Expert Hunter (experimental)
- Daedric Curse - New in 1.1.9!
Does not load on non-sorcerer characters

Controls

Left-click and drag to reposition the windows (for Alerts, it's easiest to set "Show repositioning help" to ON in the settings)
You can turn off a feature if you do not want or need it in the settings panel

Known Issues

Expert Hunter tracking is experimental; it more than likely does nothing.
Crystal Fragments countdown does not reset if it re-procs - I can't think of a way to detect that.
Daedric Curse timer tracks from when it was cast, not from when it affects the target. As such, it might be off by a second or two depending on the distance to the target.

Possible Future Features
(A.K.A the "I'll do it if I come up with a clever way of doing it" list)

Mage's Fury Alert
Entropy healing tracking
Summoned creature HP display

1.1.13
* Bumped API version to 100009

1.1.12
* Maintenance release to comply with new API version

1.1.11
* Maintenance release to comply with new addon terms of use and new API version

1.1.10
* Attempt at fixing the Spell Symmetry issue
* Added check to not fire off more than one key scanner
* Now turns off key scanning if not needed

1.1.9
* Added option to hide Reminders in menus
* Added Alert for Daedric Curse

1.1.8
* Fixed a bug where the timers would count down 2 seconds instead of 1

1.1.7
* Fixed a bug where the Bound Armor Reminder was showing even when the ability wasn't slotted
* Bumped API version number for Craglorn.

1.1.6
* Trying to fix Surge alerts from proccing on e.g. Molten Weapon buffs by adding that the buff needs to be more than 20 points of weapon power.
* Added timers to Crystal Fragments, Surge, and Lightning Form Alerts.
* Added Reminder for Bound Armor

1.1.5
* Adjustment to when the icons are allowed to fade out (trying to fix the "sticky CF proc" bug).

1.1.4
* Finally fixed the SavedVariables bug.

1.1.3
* Reworked how Surge and Lightning Form are tracked; they should now show properly for their whole duration.
* Another shot at fixing the bug with the OFF setting not being respected.
* Fixed a bug with the repositioning of icons after an icon disappears.
* Added experimental support for Expert Hunter on the off-chance it's a regular buff.

1.1.2
* Fixed a bug where some Alerts were ignoring the OFF setting.

1.1.1
* Fixed a bug where the CF proc icon would stay on-screen if you switched to a bar without CF slotted. It now disappears as it should (and even reappears if you switch back within the procs duration).

1.1.0
* Rewrote large parts of the code to enable easier adding of more Reminders and Alerts
* Added border textures and animations to all icons
* Added tracking of Mage's Light, Surge, and Lightning Form
* Fixed a bug that would stop the CF proc from showing when normal cost was an odd number.

1.0.4
* Actually uses the vars set up by the new method in 1.0.3... Hopefully this will get rid of the nil index in GetSlotted.
* Fixed an erroneous local function

1.0.3
* Added method to set default values if SavedVars are missing.

1.0.2
* Fixed a bug that could stop the CFProc window from being created.

* Added fade-in/fade-out animation for buffs

1.0.0
* Initial release

Responding to your request, "Expert Hunter tracking is experimental; I have no way of testing if it works, so please let me know if it does anything at all." It doesn't do anything at all.

It's trickier than it might seem

It's cast on a target, so it has both cast time and travel time before the timer should start. I have no problem starting a timer when you press the key to cast, but that sometimes makes it off by a full two seconds - not a great thing when the timer is supposed to be 3.5 seconds...

I'll keep working on it though

Fixed in 1.1.8.

There's a known issue with the Crystal Fragments alert in that there's no way of catching when the buff re-procs (i.e. it procs again within the duration of a previous proc). In these cases, the alert will stay on-screen but with a zero timer (in 1.1.7) or a negative timer (in 1.1.8).

There's not much I can do about that unless someone can enlighten me on a way to detect CF re-procs.

I will try to capture a screenshot next time.

I am getting that now to, but I can tell you why. It's counting down all buffs in increments of two instead of one. So Critical Surge is going 20, 18, 16, 14, etc and then gets to 0 and waits 10 sec cause there is still 10 sec left, but displays 0.

Boundless Storm and Crystal Fragments are also counting down by increments of two.

Do they disappear once the countdown is over? If so, that is expected behaviour since I haven't implemented any features to hide the icons when going into menus and the like.

Hmm, weird. I just went to check and now they hide when I open menus.

EDIT: Nevermind, it started doing it again. Yes, it disappears when the timer is up.

realy great addon

can you fix?

I just found, picked, and looted a chest with the addon running, so I'm pretty sure this addon does NOT prevent picklock on chests.

Frankly, I don't see how it could, but stranger things have happened... Either way, it doesn't seem to be a problem for me.

Could you disable all other addons and try another chest?

You're welcome, and thank you for using my addon

It could be tracked by stat comparisons (current vs base), but the problem is that there's no way to tell where a stat increase comes from (I'm having that issue with Surge already - it pick(ed) up on Molten Weapons buffs as well as Surge itself), so it's... shaky at best.

I won't say no, but it's not at the top of the list.

I'll put it on the Possible Future Feature list

Countdowns are implemented in 1.1.6 (which should clear approval shortly).

The only slight niggle is that I can't detect CF re-procs, but we'll have to live with that for now.

Bound Armor tracking is implemented in 1.1.6.

Edit: There's a bug in 1.1.6 with the Bound Armor Reminder; it will display if you switch from a bar with BA on it to one without it. The bug will be fixed with the next release (later today or tomorrow, since I will have to do a release anyway to bump the API number for Craglorn).

Thanks, this is so awesome

Do you know if there is a way to track something like circle of protection from the fighter's guild (it applies effects to the character but as far as I can tell the buff doesn't show up... but I am not sure what clever work arounds you are using and don't have time to go code delving right now)

Oh and a not at all important but if you get around to it request, can you add an option to right align the icons? I position the small "bar" on the right side of my compass and the OCD in me would love it if the icons lined up properly

I'm creating these addons because I like to code, not because I expect to get paid.

That said, if you feel like throwing a few coins my way, I'm not going to stop you
