Version: 1.2.6

by: ownedbynico, akamatsu02

IC The Next Boss

Tracks spawn times of bosses in Imperial City and displays them either in a table or directly on the map.
It works with the German, English, Russian and French Client. You can send me translations of boss and district names if you want it to work in your language.

UPDATED! - by akamatsu02
- district list ordered clockwise/counterclockwise (can be changed in the addon settings)
- added Molag Bal timer
- option to change to event-timers (15min -> 7min) (can be changed in the addon settings)
- manually start a district timer with a keybind or the command /mark <number of the district in the list>
- keep timers after reload/zone change (beta)
- always show next district at top of the list (when going ordered/not skipping bosses)

OPTIONAL!
- use LibDataShare to share your timers with your group members

Thanks just tested it out, working now. Really like the layout of this and including the seconds on the countdown timer.

Seems like the spawntimes are a bit off because of the event. Apparently the bosses work like dolmen - if there are many ppl they will respawn faster.
Im trying to find a solution for that.

I have also disabled the screen window but it reappears empty every time I launch a character in the game. Thanks for your help. Nic

I'm not sure if this is being actively still developed but if so, I have a somewhat simple ask: I would love to have the order of the district list to be in the order they are in the sewers (CCW: Memorial, Elven, Nobles, Temple, Arboretum, Arena). After digging into the code and spending far too long trying to learn lua enough to realize I can't make that change, however, I did conclude that the use of pairs() returns a pseudo random list of the districts instead of a sorted list. A few googles later it looks like if we were to use an array and use ipairs() it would return the list in the specific order it was created and be indexed. I tried a few things to switch from using pairs to ipairs but alas I just don't have the lua programming chops to make it happen successfully. Is there a way to leverage an array so we can sort the list of districts according to clockwise/counterclockwise rotation through the zones when farming bosses? This would be a very nice quality of life improvement if it isn't too much trouble. Thanks for the consideration

Hey,
yes, im using a pairs() there, so its not in order. I developed this addon when I didnt know that much about LUA.
Maybe I'll rewrite it when I got some spare time.

That would be awesome! Plus keep your skills sharp and be a fun exercise and I would love to see how you implement using ipairs() instead so I can learn a bit more.

Thanks for your consideration and looking forward to good stuff coming.

I tried this first thinking it would be that simple, but it didn't seem to help but fully admit my offsets were probably not right. However after making your changes I still see them change orders every time I reloadui:

Here are 3 reloadui's in a row using your xml changes to show how it randomly places the districts in the order it gets back from the pairs() function and why I thought it had to be reworked to use ipairs() instead:

Okay, so the XML makes the 1st view and then some lua code will re-order and re-anchor it

I'll have another look, allthough I have not seen any code doing a reanchor so far. Weird

Edit:
Seems I missunderstood the UI there.
There is 1 label for the time left (left side, which changes the order) and there is another label for the time left (right side).

The labels I had changed at the XML are only the ICTMapTimers if you open the map!
And these cannot be changed or the order is wrong at the map. So one needs to revert that change below of mine and check the other 2 label contents.

One needs to add something like

Lua Code:

--Memorial, Elven, Nobles, Temple, Arboretum, Arena
ICT.timetableOrdered = {
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_MEMORIALDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_ELVENGARDENSDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_NOBLESDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_TEMPLEDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_ARBORETUMDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_ARENADISTRICT),
}

And then change the pairs to an for _, district in ipairs(ICT.timetableOrdered) do
and then read
local respawn = ICT.timetable[district]
to update it properly in order.
Will provide my version here once tested. I usually do not play any PvP but I hope this can be tested easily on PTS.

Code changes needed
ICTTheNextBoss - With ordered districts

1st revert the changes to the XML file please, if you had followed my first advice below (I've deleted it meanwhile)

2nd change file ICTTheNextBossData.lua and add

Lua Code:

--Memorial, Elven, Nobles, Temple, Arboretum, Arena
ICT.timetableOrdered = {
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_MEMORIALDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_ELVENGARDENSDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_NOBLESDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_TEMPLEDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_ARBORETUMDISTRICT),
    GetString(SI_ICTHENEXTBOSS_ARENADISTRICT),
}

3rd change file ICTTheNextBoss.lua

Lua Code:

function ICT.updateTimers()
 
    for boss, lastSeen in pairs(ICT.fallbackTimes) do
        if ICT.fallbackTimes[boss] > 0 then
            ICT.fallbackTimes[boss] = lastSeen - 1
        end
    end
 
    local districtString = ""
    local timerString = ""
    local color = ""
 
    for _, district in pairs(ICT.timetableOrdered) do
 
        local respawn = ICT.timetable[district]
        local remaining = respawn - os.time()
    
        if remaining > 0 then
            color = "|cFF0000"
            if ICT.savedVariables.chatdebug == true and ICT.timetable[district] == 0 then
                d(district .. " is up again.")
            end
        else
            -- Boss is up
            color = "|c00FF00"
            remaining = 0
        end
        
        districtString = districtString .. color .. district .. "|r\n"
        timerString = timerString .. ICT.secondsToClock(remaining) .. "\n"
        
        if ICT.savedVariables.maptimers == true then
            ICT.ui.districts[district]:SetText(color .. ICT.secondsToClock(remaining))
        end
    end
    
    if ICT.savedVariables.timetable == true then
        ICTDistricLabel:SetText(districtString)
        ICTTimerLabel:SetText(timerString)
    end
end

This worked brilliantly. I am very happy you were able to dig in and understand what needed to be done to order properly.

Baertram,

You are the hero we needed an our whole guild who uses this addon 3 times a week for our Telvar farming runs and we all thank you deeply. Very much respect for all you do for the ESO modding community over the years and the countless number of addons you have adopted or help keep running.
