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 ww - Show the elapsed/remaining time since your last woodworking hireling mail.
  • /uht en - Show the elapsed/remaining time since your last enchanting hireling mail.
  • /uht pv - Show the elapsed/remaining time since your last provisioning hireling mail.
  • /uht all - Show the elapsed/remaining time since your last mail from all hirelings.
  • /uht help - Show all available slash commands for UHT.

Yes, as Darkstride said, you must open the mail window because the mail information isn't actually sent to you by the server until you do so. Opening that window makes the request although the mail gets the timestamp of when the new mail notification in sent.

Also, be sure to collect the attachments and delete the hireling mail because I've just discovered a bug this morning that happens when you hang on to old hireling mail messages. I just need enough time to pass to get more hireling mail messages in order to test the bug fix.

If neither of these resolve the problem, crack open the saved variables and send me all of the information in the section for your crafter and I'll take a look. You can also PM me the file or the info if you'd like - whatever is easiest for you. Thanks again for the feedback.
I've opened the mail window many times since installing addon (and collected my mail, and deleted all the empty mails - many times)...I've had 4 craft deliveries since installing addon (two a day per character)...also waited a day to see if the next delivery might perhaps trigger addon into action but nope.

I'll send you my saved variables file now.
