Event Timers

[dapper ridge]

Are you tired of typing /wiki et? me too!
Event Timers port from the wiki!

Like TacO and BlishHUD implementations, this one now works on Nexus with the following features:

1. Customization of track style
2. Option to add a Time Ruler to have accurate comparison of Tyrian Time to the current time
3. Possibility of hiding unwanted event tracks or categories entirely!
4. Creation of custom tracks in case you want to add more stuff that is not there.
5. When new events are added, no addon update is required as it'll fetch the updated json automatically
6. Default keybind is Alt E, you can right click the window to lock, hide background and show/hide scroll bar. To drag it, just unlock and move it, resize option is on bottom right of it.

Limitations:

1. For now, custom tracks must have offset based on UTC-3 (a bit unhinged but 🇧🇷)

Planned Features:

1. Add search option for events
2. Add event aliases (who knows what the hell Dangerous Prey is)
3. Alarm / Notification system

Any bug, question or suggestion, let me know!

[oak niche]

Was thinking these also have waypoints on the wiki. Would it be possible to add those with some kind of copy to clipboard?

[dapper ridge]

they do have it!

[oak niche]

Ohh cool best addon

[dapper ridge]

ps: current version might create a standard window that will render stuff outside it, to fix just use the resize bar on the bottom right, I'll fix it later today

[fierce smelt]

Huuuuh haven't checked it yet but is there a quick access button to toggle the window?

[dapper ridge]

not yet, great idea, I need to go to photoshop to make an icon for it

[fierce smelt]

Ye, this sort of thing is a make/break for steam deck - where you have very narrow access to key bindings

[dapper ridge]

@tacit crater what texture do you use on your icons? https://github.com/RaidcoreGG/Nexus/tree/main/src/Resources/Images/QuickAccess

[fierce smelt]

For my internal tools I grab one of achievement category icons, make it wb and scale down

Then get a second version lightened slightly for hover variant

Not sure how do you feel about using Anet's assets xD

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Category:Achievement_icons

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/c/c0/The_Queen's_Gauntlet.png

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/6/6f/Bosses.png

One of those maybe?
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Category:Event_icons

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/d/d3/Red_Boss3.png

[dapper ridge]

I enslaved google and killed 3 fishes for a temporary icon while I work on one manually later, I'll try to get them on more or less the same texture nexus uses to keep it fancy with the base system

[dapper ridge]

but I think I'll make one later absed on this one

it looks so good and kinda remembers event idk why

I just need to discover the texture to use as base hehehehe

release 1.0.3

fixed text rendering outside main window (I think?)
added quick access menu
improved tooltip to add information of time remaining until next event

release 1.0.4

fixed text rendering outside main window (now im sure it was fixed)
fixed tooltip overlap

[tacit crater]

that's a good icon

if you want to reproduce the highlight effect

it's increased exposure and a bit of desaturation

here's both also size adjusted to be in line with other icon sizes

[tacit crater]

for reference, normal and hover bounds

[fierce smelt]

ok, you know what? This addon get's my (Steam Deck Necessity) and (The Shit) awards

congratulations

[dapper ridge]

v1.0.5

fixed tokio panic, not the city, the library

[dapper ridge]

thank you, I'll just add the little red starbust and update icon on the next version

[dapper ridge]

@tacit crater unhinged use of addon, do you think this is fine? (text macro storage )

[tacit crater]

it's fine yea

[drowsy valley]

Hey, any idea why jungle wurm and svanir are showing at the wrong times in the addon?

[dapper ridge]

probably error on my input, I'll double check my JSON and update it asap, you will just need to restart addon to have it take into effect!

[dapper ridge]

updated already, I had swapped their starting times accidentally, just restart addon to fix it!

[plucky orchid]

Yaaaas thank you for this. I've used Estreya's for a long time, and while it's great it feels very over-engineered and it relies on loading data from their private server, which fails sometimes. I love how snappy this one is.
Two feature requests:

1. Can you put labels on the time increments at the top? That would be super helpful.

2. a long time feature I've wanted in Estreya's is to be able to lock the display to 15 or 30 minute block increments, and then have the line itself move. That way it looks exactly like how it's implemented on the ET wiki page, where the line moves until the next 15 increment rolls over, and then everything shifts left 15 minutes.

Also, do you plan on making this open source? I'd love to contribute.

[dapper ridge]

I'll release an update fixing this as it seems to not be updating (you need to reload addon twice right now)

[dapper ridge]

hey thank you!

1. sure thing, will add on next release
2. I can try implementing it, just won't implement it on this very next version
   and the code is already open sourced, you can find it at https://github.com/qjv/event-timers

[plucky orchid]

Awesome!

[dapper ridge]

v1.0.6

added x button
fixed update logic
added time display to time ruler

if time ruler is enabled now it shows like this

[dapper ridge]

(also I misunderstood the time increments, I'll add an option to select labels or time)

[viscid oasis]

btw tulio add a license to your project(s)

[drowsy valley]

Brilliant, thanks.
I've also noticed that the Ley-Line Anomalies aren't showing

[dapper ridge]

That is weird, they should, I'm not home right now but I'll check it once I come back

[drowsy valley]

There's a row for it but nothing inside. There should be one in 15 mins

[dapper ridge]

fixed! just restart the addon

[drowsy valley]

Thank you

[dapper ridge]

update that doesn't require updating addon: mad king says added to the event table
if your file doesn't update automatically, go to event-timers folder and delete these two

if I exploded your json in the process, sorry 🙏
just delete your files like the former message and restart addon to fix it

[frank oxide]

this is so good, thank you

what a time to be alive

[hollow hornet]

It really is gartner, i'm quickly running out of any reason to use blish lol

[kind pier]

man this is great. upcoming event notifs would be really nice but i understand if that's out of scope

[dapper ridge]

thank you 😄
that is next function in the plan

[manic cape]

The Event Timers window does not close via the ESC key for me. My memory tells me that it used to close with Escape but sometimes my memory plays tricks on me, so it wouldn't be a bug but a missing feature.

[dapper ridge]

this is by design but I'll add an option to allow closing it with esc on future update!

[manic cape]

Noice, thank you very much! 🥳

[digital mauve]

been waiting for this for a while good work !
so how can i customize color ? can't seem to make it work with the event_tracks.json, whenever i save it and open my game it reverses back to default color

[dapper ridge]

I'll push an update later today so you can customize them! Probably will not include on interface and will need external editing like you said you did
right now it is going back to normal because it compares the event json to the version on my github, I'll make the code manage color transferring from old version to new one

[oak niche]

I mean it would be cool if there was a simple editor. Maybe something that creates a separate JSON for override colors. And when rendering just a quick lookup if the file exists and using the color from there?

This way the event timer json can always be only controlled by you and the repo version of it, while any custom stuff stays in it's own files.

[dapper ridge]

yeah that works too, could save overrides only 🤪

I'll try to add notifications today too if I get the time to work on it

[lament jackal]

hiiiii

do you have plans to unfuck the alignment of the icon?

it's very uncentered, i think?

[dapper ridge]

ngl my centering on it was based on guess of pixel cropping so yeah I can 100% fix that

I'm testing out the main event customization and notifications rn, should be able to ship those things with centered icons™

[wide shuttle]

i was staring at the icon for the longest time, until i saw it's vertically not aligned in the game itself

i thought it's the icon itself

[lament jackal]

it's not horizontally aligned though either

[wide shuttle]

oh no hahaha

[rain remnant]

is it possible to adjust the category header text alignment? i'd rather have them left aligned than centred

[rain remnant]

also for the timers to be hidden by default on launch and only appear when pressing the keybind/ui button?

[dapper ridge]

yup and yup!
notifications are taking a bit more work but as soon as I get done with that I'll release a version that will include your suggestions too!

[rain remnant]

[sonic stump]

Categories eat a lot of vertical screen realestate. Any chance of getting an option to have categories listed as a column beside each timeline? I.e. like the BlishHUD events table by Estreya.

[ancient cape]

@dapper ridge any plans to make a github action or something that will automatically update https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qjv/event-timers/main/event_tracks.json ?

[oak niche]

What do you mean by that? From my understanding they made that manually, it's not being pulled from anywhere. If you mean locally the addon on load check and downloads a new version when it changes.

[dapper ridge]

exactly what Final said
as for the update it is taking abit because i took a break because health issues but it should be there before expansion launch

[rain remnant]

don't rush, take care of yourself!

[ancient cape]

yes but he has to manually add new events instead of it automatically collecting it from the api/wiki

[oak niche]

So before tulio made this addon I was planning to do something similar, just with a much smaller scope. And this is what I got from my research, the API used to have an endpoint for events, but it's legacy and doesn't work anymore and even when it worked was very limited and the wiki data is formatted in a very very weird way, at least I couldn't get all the data automatically and would need to manually parse some stuff.

My solution was to actually joink the data from a blish module and parse it in to a format I wanted to use. So I guess that is a way to do it automatically, but really doesn't provide too much speed up to just adding the events when they are added at expansion.

[kind monolith]

ye kinda a reason why i never went table

[dapper ridge]

version 1.0.6

changelog:

• centered icon, thanks kat!
• added customization of default events, thanks soso and Finalgamer!
• added option to close event timer window with Esc key, thanks herrfleischladen!
• improved category and track name display, they now can be further customized and displayed as a column to the left or right side, thanks Caprys and TommyBALL!
• fixed some weird crashes, thanks Alan!

notifications will be left for later because I won't have time to really work on them for now
for now I won't update it on github, so if anyone can test and report if any crash happen, thank you very much ♥

please backup your settings as I did a lot of changes, I tried to make it all retro compatible but I'll be very honest: my attention spawn is awful these days to see if I lost any setting

[sonic stump]

• For some reason "Track Text Color" was "0,0,0,0" for me. Made me think text was missing when I turned on Track/Category labels (black fully transparent on black fully transparent). Using style preset: IMGUI CLASSIC

Working nicely so far. Will report if I find something.

[dapper ridge]

Oh wops I'll fix that for the default color, it was supposed to be white but I think I copied the background hehe

[dapper ridge]

fixed default value for text that was going directly to 0

[dapper ridge]

if no other bugs were reported I think it is fine? I'll push this version to github once I get home

[dapper ridge]

as soon as someone finds the new meta events please let me know or make a push on github and I'll aprove it

[tacit kindle]

Will test in a moment if this is just because of it being updated

No panic on exit and restart. Possibly just due to unload and reload?

[kind monolith]

rust

[dapper ridge]

yeah tokio is used for syncing the event tables but there was no update, strange

I'll investigate it later, but tell me @tacit kindle did it work after?

[tacit kindle]

It did.

No further panics.

So possibly something to do with race conditions during an update.

[lament jackal]

i don't think this one is rust's fault

[dapper ridge]

json updated to include new metas (I don't know time of the basilica one so I didn't include it yet)
new bug found: it is duplicating the tracks because how "custom" tracks are saved, I'll try to fix it and push asap

update pushed it should now deduplicate any duplicated track

oh yeah they don't have any waypoint yet cuz I got no clue which waypoint they happen 🤪

[dapper ridge]

just did basilica meta, it is untimed and won't be added to event timers

[silver yarrow]

Are there any plans to enable customization of the height and width of the table? I want to be able to make it look like this.

Ignore all the oversaturated white; Windows Snipping Tool doesn't play well with HDR.

[dapper ridge]

You can drag the bottom right to change the size of the window and configure height of columns on settings

[wide shuttle]

I'm more interested in the data density

you can stretch the window, but its still limited to 1h30-2h of data, instead of showing you more

[dapper ridge]

oooh I can increase the values

you can ctrl click the bar to type custom values for now

[dapper ridge]

i know im talking alone but I added the waypoints to the new events so reloading the addon should work, on next version I'll improve interface to allow further "increasing" of timespan as suggested by Human Female Meta Enjoyer and dinckel

if you guys have any other suggestion please drop them here so the addon can fit all your needs!
notifications are otw, just not now

[tacit kindle]

Another instance of a panic when updating:

[dapper ridge]

thank you for confirming it is not a one time only, I'm looking into a fix

@tacit kindle can you test this version and see if it ever panics?

[rigid owl]

Was the blush hud event table feature to automatically pan your map to the waypoint and click on it feature discussed?

It always seemed a little ToS questionable. But that feature has been in the module for literal years now and they never did anything about it.

This is what I am talking about btw, don't know how many people know about it because it's an option you have to enable.

[silver yarrow]

Would it be possible to have an option to right-click the icon to directly open the plogon's settings?

[dapper ridge]

So that would require either me doing some loads of math and having a wonky implementation or have a solid implementation by doing memory writing, I don't know if I have skills to do the latter yet and I believe my implementation to the first would be lacking, but I don't see this actions as problematic because, even though it is an automation, it is still for a single action that is moving map to point x, I'll think about it

[dapper ridge]

Oh this is a good suggestion, I'll look into implementing it

[tacit kindle]

I can try that, but the problem is that I've only ever seen the panic specifically when nexus has just updated it.

(Note in both of the previous two panics I made sure to capture the Updater logs showing that they were just after Updater successfully replaced Event Timers)

[dapper ridge]

so, the panic was probably happening because of some locks being released out of order, pretty much lock 1 -> lock 2 -> unlock 1 -> unlock 2 instead of lock 1 -> unlock 1 -> lock 2 -> unlock 2, as why it never happened to me, no idea

[burnt kiln]

Imo it would be nice to filter what you want to see/hide and position in permanently

When I had Blish, I tracked a handful of events and had them on the bottom of the minimap

[dapper ridge]

sorry but what do you mean by "position in"?

[oak niche]

Probably trying to say, they want like a small widget that is pinned in a custom position and shows events that they selected to show.

[ripe schooner]

Not sure what's going on exactly, but this popped up for me when I tried to open GW2 this morning.

[dapper ridge]

@lament jackal do you have any idea of what this could be? you the rust queen

[lament jackal]

This person has duplicate dlls in their folder

that's at least what I presume?

I will have a further look in a moment

the _0 variant of UnhideNPCs at least tells me that a little, so I would want that checked out first

[dapper ridge]

thank you

[lament jackal]

@dapper ridge do you really copy like 30 attributes out of a struct ahead of time and then don't unlock your config and then pass it and cached attributes into each function?

[dapper ridge]

yeah I'm not cacheing

[lament jackal]

but you say you are!

[dapper ridge]

wait

[lament jackal]

D:

[dapper ridge]

oh yeah

thing is

lock and unlock for me

is still something I'm learning what it is exactly and how to use it

because python didnt have this stuff

paralelally to abusing llm to make this addon work i'm learning rust by myself so I can use it to get a job in future hehehe

what would your suggestion be, cache them and unlock config asap?

to avoid ownership issues

or just lock config whenever something is going to be used

[lament jackal]

it depends if config is expected to be written from or read from in different contexts (e.g. renderthread vs async worker)

which is to say, a mutex serves a purpose

the whole point of locking or unlocking it is so that you can allow it to be written by a unique holder of it without causing issues for those reading from it

(if you have multiple read-sites you may wish for an RwLock instead)

(but if you only have one accessor, you may not even need a Mutex at all)

[dapper ridge]

I see, as there is more than one accessor, it is kind of needed

as I have possibility of changng settings in in different places at same time, rwlock would not be it, right?

[lament jackal]

an RwLock allows for multiple readers, single writer

[dapper ridge]

my settings are being saved on the fly at any changes

[lament jackal]

a Mutex allows for a single reader, a single writer

There is no such thing here as multiple-writers, someone must have exclusive capacity to write/mutate

[dapper ridge]

not the best setting for performance but losing addon config on crash because it is set to unload event is sad

[lament jackal]

To my knowledge, in TaimiHUD, we defer config writes on a timer instead of making them instant upon a change, and then make sure that it occurs at an unload (this way it batches them instead of changing a single key at a time)

mostly, you would want to check if the value has changed from the one in your cache, and then only lock it for writing at that point

but ideally, keep the lock for writing as short as you can

if you do have multiple readers, an RwLock will be more performant

but when you write, you contend the readers

[dapper ridge]

and asking you about it since we are on it

any way to check dll performance?

like cpu/ram usage?

[lament jackal]

RAM usage - you can wrap your allocator to stat track it; there are other ways you can do it but this is what we do

CPU usage - idk, profiling? sysinternals process explorer

also

[dapper ridge]

I use Process Hacker, it allows checking dll but nexus dlls are not listed there

[lament jackal]

https://nnethercote.github.io/perf-book/profiling.html

[dapper ridge]

thank you

on my code iirc lock is only held when writing and dropped imediatly after

[lament jackal]

idk, wife likes process explorer

[dapper ridge]

they are same i think, just changed name

[lament jackal]

ok so like

you spawn a thread, you make a runtime on it

you then do work in there

it should drop ...at the end of that function

i still wonder if that thread is keeping the addon alive after unload for a small period

it doesn't handle like, any quit from the actual sync-side

(you don't shut it down on unload)

doesn't really explain the double-load at all

[dapper ridge]

so

what if they load unload load

[lament jackal]

well that was the immediate thought yeah

[dapper ridge]

and this small time a thread lingers could keep init alive

@ripe schooner did you do this by chance?

[lament jackal]

that's why you send a message to your thread on unload to tell it to die but it would be said in the log

if you loggged, anyway

also, update checks; does it load then unload then reload on an update check if an update is available?

[dapper ridge]

but this is a problem i have, my game just crashes, just didnt think people would do it ,maybe worth fixing 🤪

if update is available for json you need to restart the addon

I'll try implementing your suggestion of cacheing the config and saving it every few minutes and unload instead of on every change

I don't see performance issues on my side, but you know, optimization is never bad

[lament jackal]

even with the state of settings lock and unlock in taimihud, on low performance cpu bound systems (top-end bulldozer rigs) and io-bound systems (where config files are on spinning rust), the locking and unlocking built up to the extent where opening the config section of my project locked up the game for like 2 mins

it merits thinking about if only for neanderthal computer

it's like

either don't cache it and just do weird shit with holding onto the lock or cache and hold onto the lock less, either or

[burnt kiln]

Yup, this

[ripe schooner]

If I'm understanding right, no, I don't think so. This error happened on startup for the game, so no time for me to load/unload anything. I have loaded/unloaded it in the past when I was comparing it with the Blishhud addon, but since I've decided I liked yours better a few days ago I haven't toggled it.

[dapper ridge]

how would the formatting for it be? what do you think?

[ripe schooner]

Also, I did have a .dll_0 for UnhideNPCs and a .dll.old for Event Timers, not sure why they're there or what caused them though. Could they be interfering?

[dapper ridge]

aw tyvm ❤️
probably not but you can delete those, they are duplicate

[ripe schooner]

Also if I'm understanding @burnt kiln correctly, he's looking for a second window he can make small with only a couple events selected on it and draggable around the screen

[burnt kiln]

Yes sorry @dapper ridge , basically this

So the blishud addon you specify what events interest you in the settings. Then the draggable/resizable box only shows those. It was a huge qol having it on the bottom part of the minimap imo

[dapper ridge]

they would behave like the normal window, would pop up as a list, a countdown?

[twin schooner]

how do i make the background of the window competely clear?

[dapper ridge]

set padding to 0 and drag the fourth value to 0

[mighty wagon]

hey @dapper ridge, any ETA on the event alias feature? for example: I'm quite used to read "Octovine" instead of Battle in Tarir, so I always get confused lol

[mighty wagon]

I can try handling this myself and open a PR. I'm a web developer, not a Rust expert, but I should be able to manage it with help from Cursor.

[mighty wagon]

@lament jackal @viscid oasis are you guys AI denialists?

[lament jackal]

Denialist implies that I think they don't exist

If you're going to LLM, treat it like an intern, don't be less experienced than your intern

[wide shuttle]

"denialist"

[viscid oasis]

if only it didn't

(exist)

[tacit kindle]

Get thee behind me ChatGPT.

[oak niche]

The issue isn't with LLMs or machine learning. I think most devs will find them interesting to some point. The issue is how it's being applied in real world scenarios.

[mighty wagon]

bro is treating a simple addon project as an enterprise production software with millions of users.

[viscid oasis]

no, see, entreprise products have AI everywhere; my addons don't

[mighty wagon]

would you like a prize for that? its not the flex you think it is.

[viscid oasis]

..?

[lament jackal]

Keyboard Overlays version with chatbot for telling you what it thinks you should've pressed (It's always the F key, I can't tell you why), when?

[viscid oasis]

it would hallucinate a key that doesn't even exist

[oak niche]

I'm someone who uses ai for random ass shit when programming, and I wouldn't do this. Like letting AI do unit tests sure, let it make those I don't want to anyway. I wouldn't use it to implement full futures because it produces dog shit code, especially when it comes to Rust, I've played around and it's really bad.

[lament jackal]

yeee, LLMs don't perform well on Rust in particular

[mighty wagon]

I mean, I don't have experience with Rust, as stated, and that's a good thing to know, thanks for pointing it out. I do have experience with web dev tho, and AI is basically mid level already on that front. (if using the latest models with max context, and it depends how complex the project/task is.)

[lament jackal]

you should search "web developer" in this server

I find the results enlightening :o

[oak niche]

I have access to cursors, copilot, cloude. All provided by my current employer. So I can test when ever I want to and use what ever I want to. I'd still count them all as junior dev level. Again I'm not totally against them like some people here, but I use it in limited capacity because I've had it produce so much crap that was totally useless, especially when in agent mode.

[mighty wagon]

Since @viscid oasis is a mod, maybe you could add to the server rules or somewhere else that web devs will get free hate in this server, so the next one is aware.

[lament jackal]

some of the smartest people I know use them, and continue to use them well

[viscid oasis]

will do!

._.

[mighty wagon]

Thanks!

[viscid oasis]

(this is obvious sarcasm)

[oak niche]

But this really isn't true tho ... I'm professionally a web dev and I think most people on this server know that about me.

[viscid oasis]

yes

[mighty wagon]

If its sarcasm, then you should do something about the free hate against specific individuals.

[viscid oasis]

sorry we don't do politics here:/

[mighty wagon]

oh, a mod ignoring the rules, interesting.

[viscid oasis]

in the end you do whatever you like

with AI and shit

[mighty wagon]

Alright

[viscid oasis]

wow!

wow

[lament jackal]

I'm a horrible person

you're right

[viscid oasis]

yes you are kat

[oak niche]

Tbh that is probably the most tame thing kat has said on this server

[lament jackal]

I'm just very opinionated when it comes to, uhhh, I checked the list and it says "everything"

Would it help if I put on a jester's hat?

[mighty wagon]

opinionated !== spreading hate

[lament jackal]

wow, javascript style inequality operator

[viscid oasis]

i was thinking the same

[lament jackal]

even strict inequality, because no type coercion

[mighty wagon]

It's not funny. Maybe you should apologize and rethink your hate. Maybe [try] some therapy sessions, I dunno.

[lament jackal]

already tried some therapy sessions

Rethink my hate of web developers as a category in general? when Doordash finally works in Firefox and no sooner
Apologize to you as a person? Sure! I'm sorry for being disrespectful to you for using AI and being a web developer.

Do you think you would apologise to me for calling me "bro"?

[mighty wagon]

bro is a slang, I even call my dog bro

[lament jackal]

Do you normally call your wife or girlfriend bro in bed?

I would.

It's not gay, it's just, y'know? 🥝

[mighty wagon]

👀

[lament jackal]

Sometimes it's gotta be "no bromo"

[viscid oasis]

yeah it's just slang girl

[lament jackal]

to be fair I call even the men girliepop these days thanks to the brainrot

It's never been so over for me

[mighty wagon]

@dapper ridge I apologize in advance for the offtopic spam in your channel, it was my fault.

[viscid oasis]

based

[lament jackal]

no no, it was my fault

I insist

[wide shuttle]

hot take: both of you are quite heavyhanded with the namecalling

[lament jackal]

That is so cold it's basically frozen

and as the frozen woman says, "let it go"

I think she meant me, she meant let me go and have a shower, afk

[tacit crater]

So reading this conversation back

This behaviour is really aids

[lament jackal]

it's all dogshit?

It's all dogshit, yes

[tacit crater]

can we behave normally for one day

I wanna remind everyone particularly about point 2

#📜┃rules

point 4 also kinda applies

[lament jackal]

I am sorry for the comment about searching web developers

I am an asshole

[lament jackal]

I was quite intentionally restrained on the issue, so what you got out there was a very turned down degree of what I actually wanted to say. For the most part, I sort of feel this conflict of "LLMs are not a decent substitute for creating a community that actively engages with helping newbies learn to program (in a language, an addon)"

Many things lately, I just think "it would've been nice for someone to get some human input on an architectural decision"

or "We have reasons we do things the way we do, if one engaged with that or was able to ask people about why they make the decisions they do, or why the processes are the way they are, we could all write better code"

[tacit crater]

I mean, it's fine to nudge someone into a better direction

it's not really fine to challenge someone because of a different opinion

but this thread has been derailed enough

[dapper ridge]

[dapper ridge]

So I'll add this on next version, I forgot

[ancient cape]

@dapper ridge if i download event timers will it automatically add new events when you update the app or do i need to do anything manually

[dapper ridge]

you dont need to update the app, it'll check if the event list is updated, if not ,it'll update the event file on startup

it is an automatic process that happens on startup

[ancient cape]

okay thank you and also does it have the same problem where it takes a second for the actual on screen list to appear like the blishhud alternative

[dapper ridge]

it doesn't, BlishHUD has to connect to a server, this one is saved locally, so it should instantly init

[tacit kindle]

FWIW, the "," causes the standard auto updater to update every but not actually get 1.0.7.

[dapper ridge]

really? that is funny, will try to fix that

[tacit kindle]

I'm guessing it fails to parse the semver correctly as a result of the comma. I noticed because every startup it was generating a .dll.old file, and the sha256 sum of the file was identical and matched the 1.0.6 release.

[dapper ridge]

will push 1.0.7 as 1.0.8 just to fix this

[dapper ridge]

can you test it?

managed to edit the tag (sorry im github noob)

[tacit kindle]

That appears to work now. Uninstalled, manually installed 1.0.6, update via nexus successfully got 1.0.7

[dapper ridge]

thank you for the headsup, lemme tag @tacit crater for this

[ornate moss]

the ruler at the top doesn't account for the offset caused by having the track names on the left lol

[tacit crater]

[dapper ridge]

so thing is, I had put the tag 1.0,7 on github and it was screwing up the update system, idk

edited to 1.0.7 and it worked

[lament jackal]

idk if 1.0,7 is something any versioning scheme should sanely support (other than just going THE NEWEST TAG != THAT TAG? update!)

like i can almost understand why it has problems, i just wonder what one is supposed to do as a fallback other than remote != local

[dapper ridge]

it was marked as "latest release"

that should be enough, no?

[tacit crater]

no, I'm comparing tags

not the latest

latest is only downloaded for installations

thanks to releases often being set as the latest, but aren't actually the latest

[lament jackal]

sometimes I think common sense should prevail here :(

[tacit crater]

what is that sentence supposed to mean in english?

[lament jackal]

why people who do latest release wrong inconvenience all sane other people?

[tacit crater]

but also older releases get retagged or whatever

or chronologically later releases have earlier tags

[dapper ridge]

oh so that is why it was failing, I see

note to self: dont typo

[tacit crater]

so all I can compare reliably is tag formats

[lament jackal]

again, common sense is a valuable tool

[tacit crater]

and looking at other implementations, tags are the sanest and most accurate way of doing this

and it's exactly perfect for the tags

e.g. the way you do it in taimihud

make a tag for nexus and a separate tag for whatever else

[lament jackal]

ah yes, Operation "lie to Nexus"

[tacit crater]

some repos don't even set latest

[dapper ridge]

what is the nexus tag "accepted" format, number.number.number?

[lament jackal]

four segments

[tacit crater]

I don't know what you mean by lie

[lament jackal]

year.month.day.patch

he doesn't semantic versioning

[tacit crater]

I mean what meaning you give the 3 or 4 component value idc

[dapper ridge]

so anything outside it will be straight up ignored?

[tacit crater]

I just need to be able to compare

[dapper ridge]

I'm asking because that might be useful for myself hehe

[tacit crater]

v1.2.3 or v1.2.3.4

with or without v prefix

[dapper ridge]

ok, I'll use unhinged tags whenever I wanna test a feature then, thank you

[lament jackal]

remember to pre-release :'3

[tacit crater]

yea, mark as pre-releases

(which also can't be set as latest, so I ain't gonna hardcode that)

all tags are compared and the latest will be picked

and enabling pre-releases just adds those releases as well

[dapper ridge]

I see, thank you

[tacit crater]

to derail the channel more

someone AI generated a fix for nexus

I can't wait to use it in production

[dapper ridge]

it wasnt me yet

[lament jackal]

it ok, some day i make you 9,000 SLOC nexus pr all AI generated

it will be called something insane like "Implement the Sexun"

it will surely happen the day after I completely embrace AI psychosis

"implemented 1 FPS AI hallucinator using a Minecraft trained diffusion model" "implement chatbot to talk to you about addons" "implemented AI that outputs Python into a Python runtime with full bindings to Nexus so you can have addon ideas implemented instantly in Python"

[dapper ridge]

i was thinking about making a buzzfeed quiz addon to play instead of walking in circles while waiting in aerodrome

[lament jackal]

It's the future. Invest! 📈📈📈🌕 🚀💸

[lament jackal]

can you do peggle

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/peggle-classic

im thinking a lot lately about lua scripting for the guild wars 2

just think, if port lua runtime and give 2d graphics to it, can have Peggle from WoW in Guild Wars 2...

[dapper ridge]

port weakauras so it works after midnight removes it

[lament jackal]

i still wonder if i should just stop being a pussy and go full on the weak auras shit

i think zerthox would be sad at me though

[dapper ridge]

think on the future of the game, would it be benefical or would anet hate you for it, if latter go for it

[lament jackal]

oh thats true i didnt think of it like that

i have other actually beneficial things i want to do but i'm also afraid arenanet would hate me for it

[tacit crater]

that's your direct route of getting banned

[kind monolith]

i would want that

reeffect is way too restrictive and I do not really agree with its approach

but its his project

[lament jackal]

:(

oh shit i didn't mean weak auras

i meant bossmods

fml

my fault for not playing WoW

its the other one that people complain about

[kind monolith]

lets play wow together

+deltman as well

[lament jackal]

mmos are like full time jobs and despite being a neet i do not want to have two

[tacit crater]

same thing

[lament jackal]

:'(

Truly, we live in a post-fun era.

(i just want hp and cc triggers, nothing special like reading attack logs v-v)

(we've spoken about this, even)

[wide shuttle]

thats one of the reasons why i've quit wow. I cannot PAY MONEY and still feel like im logging in for a time-gated full-time job

[viscid marten]

would love to have the countdown to the next event of the row when hovering on an empty line/space

[kind pier]

is it possible to add a right click option to go directly to the addon->configure window?

[kind monolith]

@tacit crater

probably you

[tacit crater]

what

go where from where

[kind monolith]

How would addon redirect into cfg

[tacit crater]

not possible

[kind monolith]

cfg window is nexus no?

[tacit crater]

yea

[kind monolith]

ye

[kind pier]

aight unfortunate but thanks for the answer

[lament jackal]

actual answer is, create your own separate window that duplicates the content of config render outside of config render

you don't get the nexus side disable, uninstall, etc but

It's how taimihud does it and now taimihud even shows stuff in the nexus side config area

[ornate moss]

did the devs here see this?

[marsh dock]

Would it be possible to have a reminder function for this addon: Basically, you right-click on an event and toggle the reminders on/off to be reminded 15/10/5 minutes before the start of that event?

[dapper ridge]

Yes I did, just didn't have much time lately to work on the addon, got like 1-2h free time all week every day and was catching up stuff

[dapper ridge]

I wanna build a notification system, my last one sucked but I have ideas for new one

[boreal hawk]

i cannot find a option to make the height of bars smaller than 20. or im just blind?

[kind pier]

ctrl+click the number for manual entry. can be done on most imgui fields

[frank oxide]

I guess I am blind, are convergences not in the schedule by default? if not, I tried to add them but I don't quite understand the time field.. what is it expecting

ok it turns out if you open your eyes, you can see these things 🙂 but I would still like to understand how to config my own

and, a slight suggestion - I would like to be able to make certain events stand out/highlight if they are something I like to do

[dapper ridge]

the process of creating custom event is by defining a time loop and also the "distance" the first ocurrance has from UTC-3 midnight (yes it is unhinged af rn)

[frank oxide]

ty 🙂 I was afraid of that

[white pecan]

So in Event Timers in BlishHUD, it crosses off the events you've already completed for the day. Is there a setting to enable that in Event Timers yet?

[dapper ridge]

There is not, I did not implement API tracking, might be a future feature though!

[trail wasp]

Would love to see something like that, since I love the way your addon displays info but do miss the cross-outs from BlishHUD (my memory is goldfish level)

[digital mauve]

so i've been trying to change color of an event but somehow it keeps reverting back to whenever is load/unload, same thing happens if i change in the .json, is there something i'm doing wrong ?

[dapper ridge]

you dont edit on the json, you edit it on the in-game menu right now

it'll save the information into the config json and will override the default values on load

[kind monolith]

do you save everything or just overrides (differences to default?)

[dapper ridge]

overrides

[kind monolith]

interesting

[dapper ridge]

it would save something like this

[kind monolith]

that would make it so much easier

and i would not need to write "migrations"

[dapper ridge]

i slapped claude to give me all migration code from old versions, I think I have like 4 migration functions from earlier versions embedded in which I hope to remove one day in the future but I kinda wanna make it update proof this moment

[kind monolith]

the way i am doing it

i already lose it

mine needs redesign af coz there is feature creep

[digital mauve]

aaah i can only change color on custom tracks ? i was trying to change color on the default tracks which are yours by design i guess, that could make sense on why it won't load the color changes i made

[dapper ridge]

You can do it for all, but you gotta do it via the addon

[dapper ridge]

I was not on pc by then, but you can edit it as if it was a normal

[digital mauve]

yep no, that doesn't do it for me, idk why whenever i select a color it changes back to default on restart.. it's alright tho it's just a detail, still working fine for me as it is

[dapper ridge]

ooh will check it then, thank you for the report

[oak niche]

What about other configurations for other addons?

If you have the game installed in C drive, and run the game without admin permissions, it might not be able to save to a file. Usually giving your user the extra permission to write in the addon folder should fix the issue

[digital mauve]

i do run game in admin tho, and i don't have any problems with other addons

[dapper ridge]

it is a problem on the implementation, i didnt test it much

[fierce smelt]

Could it be that exit on esc doesn't work correctly?

Also where do you prefer issues to be listed, here or in some github repo?

[dapper ridge]

you can list wherever you prefer, I just didnt have any time recently to work on the stuff listed here

[stray crag]

Would it be possible to add option to hide all events that are in progress or in progress for X minutes? I would like to hide all in-progress events and use timeline position = 0, because I think it's rare to find map for meta in the middle of it and I would like to clearly see what is coming next

Basically in situation like this those crossed over things would just not show

and It will be shown similarily to Mount Balrior

[dapper ridge]

that is a good point I'll add to the next release, for the momenr you can quickly mouseover and see how long ago it started (ofc it aint same thing), but I like your idea

[undone schooner]

Alarm / Notification system
I love this feature of the Blish module. You can track events and a notification pops up notifiying you 10 and 5 minutes before the event starts. I would love to see this in a Nexus addon ❤️

[lament jackal]

it's on his to-dos

[dapper ridge]

yup, I just didn't have much time lately to work on addons 😭
I had some health issues for the past 2 months that killed my motivation to do anything but now im back and will probably do it early january

[full meteor]

hopefully you're doing better now, i wish you get the time to add the events alerts option pop ups or sound notification in the near future.
love the addon and thank you for all the work you put into it

[dapper ridge]

❤️ already started working on it! there has been some progress on notification but I'm not happy with its current state yet, if all works well, new release this week or start of next one

[pseudo oyster]

just spitballing is it possible when u add the notications im assuming theyre going to be in the chat box

it sends the closest waypoint to the event ?

would look like
" whatever eent notification (waypoint link "

[dapper ridge]

my goal is to not bind it to any game system, the pop up will appear and if you click on it, it copies the waypoint to you so you can manually paste it

[gloomy veldt]

Not sure if this was asked as there is a lot of data in there. But is there a way to have it do an on screen pop up for a specific event? Such as World Bosses or something. As that is my biggest struggle is managing my time on this.

[viscid oasis]

read 3 messages above yours

[gloomy veldt]

Thanks, that just passed right by!

[viscid oasis]

read 6 messages above yours

[dapper ridge]

letting you know I'm implementing other features, and the notification still not final, because of my phd i didnt manage to work much on it since monday but I plan to release it as soon as i can ❤️

[merry oracle]

I made the changes and after I finished sorting it all I realized a drawback Maybe doesn't matter, addon doesn't seem to be language aware?

Feature: I would like the copy feature to include the event names, so when I paste them to my party I don't have to deal with the question of "What's that waypoint for?"--So I made the edits I want. The addon seems to refresh the json after loading so they don't persist between game loads so I can't keep it for myself only.
I haven't looked into making it a toggle option or anything actually useful, just json editing. The other part of my request I haven't approached but if it could be possible to pull the (in 5 minutes) portion of the listing as well that would be fantastic.
Very useful tool, I use it a lot. Appreciate it. ❤️

[dapper ridge]

will add a toggle for it on next release

Upcoming Features on next release

1. Notification system, turn on notifications and be alerted 30 min, 5 min, 1 min before event, or just customize it to whatever you want.
2. Event track system, in which you will be able to select a few events to include on a small window that can be moved and fixed to easily track the few events you want instead of having that giant table open all the time.
3. Add toggle to the event name being copied with the waypoints!
4. Bug fix on the time bar being missaligned at the top
5. I might be missing something idk my memory sucks.

On future updates: API syncing so you can "untrack" completed events for that day (I still gotta learn how the gw2 api offer this info, I never used gw2 api with auth, just the v2/ endpoints to gather skill, trait, etc

I'm just finishing debugging the notification system and adding this last requested feature

[merry oracle]

love to hear it. Wonderful additions

[dapper ridge]

Upcoming Events (tracked ones) [you can click them to copy waypoint]

Notification test, will improve visibility / allow further customization right after I ensure it is not crashing on all scenarios

(and a video of it actually working)

[dapper ridge]

As promised, a new release!
Beta version of 1.0.9, if you find any bug please report, if people don't find anything I'll push it to github
Changelog: #1422998357357498480 message

and screenshot of working notification
PS: big font is blurry, imgui issue, nothing I can do 🙁

Known issues:

1. Copying name of event with setting toggled on only works for main window, upcoming events window is not working yet cuz I actually forgot 🤪

[ripe schooner]

Thank you very much for the notification feature! Been waiting for this one.
Is it possible to have the notifications pop up multiple times? Say, once at 15 mins, another time at 5 mins, and maybe a third at like 1 min for example? That's how I had my bhud one set up because I have a rather smooth brain sometimes.

[stray crag]

this font looks sick, whats the name?

[dapper ridge]

Jersey25

[dapper ridge]

I thought about doing it, will see if I can implement it tonight

[dapper ridge]

Version 1.1.0: Notifications are real!

Changelog

1. Notification system implemented, you can add as many reminders as possible, by default it comes with 10, 5 and 0 minutes.
2. 0 minutes notification will repeat every 5 minutes while the event is up.
3. You can now check your tracked events on a tiny window so you don't need to have the big window up all the time.
4. There has been a bug fix on the time bar from missalign under some scenarios.
5. Reorganized the configuration menu, too many options was getting out of hand, it is more organized now.

Future Features

1. Integration with GW2 API to automatically track completed events.

https://github.com/qjv/event-timers/releases/tag/1.1.0

Please report any bug, and thanks for the ideas 😄

[opaque robin]

Just tried the addon today for the first time and noticed the “close on ESC” feature doesn’t seem to work for me.

[opaque robin]

Also would love to see a way to open the wiki page for an event. Maybe double click or right click?

[dapper ridge]

ooh I love this suggestion, will add this to the list

[dapper ridge]

I'll change how key is handled, this is using an old system, it was just... until it didnt work for someone

[opaque robin]

Is there a way to add an event to the reminder list from the event windows itself?

[dapper ridge]

right click them

[dapper ridge]

There are three total ways of adding to track:

1. by right click on the main event window
2. through the setting by searching and selecting on the textbox
3. going to the specific event you want to track and toggle it there

[opaque robin]

Aha I see how right click works. Is the anyway to just add the next instance of an event instead of all of the upcoming instances?

[dapper ridge]

will also add to the to-do list

for now you can open the tracked events window and right click an event to remove it

[plucky orchid]

Is there a way to show the time in the Time Ruler?

And is there a way to customize it? I'd like it to be every 15 minutes, not every 5.

[dapper ridge]

I forgot this feature, will add it, it was on list but I skipped past it

[sonic stump]

@dapper ridge Could you check out the Dragon's Stand - Advancing on the Blight Towers event? It gives me three permanent toast boxes on time 0 trigger (Happening now!).

[dapper ridge]

checking it, thank you

[dapper ridge]

Upcoming Features on Version 1.1.2

1. Added options to control spacing on time ruler #1422998357357498480 message
2. Added option to display current time in time ruler #1422998357357498480 message
3. Probable bug fix of multiple toasts #1422998357357498480 message
4. Added x button to notifications so you can manually close them
5. Click on notification should copy the waypoint, if event name is toggled on, it will also copy it
6. Fixed the Esc Closing bug #1422998357357498480 message
7. Added option to open wiki page by right clicking an event #1422998357357498480 message
8. Added option to track only the next iteration of the event, instead all of them #1422998357357498480 message
9. Updated tracked event settings, old one was ugly

If I'm missing any feature you'd like to be included, please let me know!
I'll be further testing these features and should release it tonight/tomorrow

(API tracking still on hold, sowwy >.<)

[dapper ridge]

I got everything working so far but the fix to the notification spam, as my partner is coming here i'll fix it over night and prob ship it by morning

[dapper ridge]

Dropping the 1.1.2 dll here, if no weird stuff reported I'll push it to github later

[sonic stump]

testing

Looking good. No issues so far.

[dapper ridge]

awesome, i found a tiny bug on recurring event timer, which is a tiny display thing, will fix it before releasing official 1.1.2 on github, will tag you tho to tell you to delete the old version 😛

[dapper ridge]

update pushed!

[dapper ridge]

my pc crashed before I pushed updated code to the web, so for now this will be the final version until I can retrack and redo some of the lost stuff (wont be much but i still gotta recover a lot of stuff, also used this time to move to linux so hi linux friends)

[dapper ridge]

nevermind my ass actually pushed the update

[plucky orchid]

Thanks for the update! The time interval marker spacing works great! Do you think you'll be able to add the time as well?

Also I hope you've got everything configured and your PC is working again!

[tacit kindle]

So I really like the notification system. But this seems a little weird to me.

I feel like there should be some sort of limit to how long in the past "happening now" can cover.

[dapper ridge]

Time, how? Didnt understand much, also yeah pc is working great and even better than before

[dapper ridge]

great suggestion, adding it to next ver

I also plan to make a "intrusive once in a lifetime" popup to teach people on how to set up events

[pseudo oyster]

no meta is happening in tangled depths

[frank oxide]

I would really like a "favorite" feature, where I can right click an event, click favorite, and it will give all instances of that event a golden border so that it stands out. so I can just scan over all the lines and notice if something good is coming up at any time

or if you wanted to that could just be an enhancment to tracked items? but I'm not sure highlight (which is geared for longer lookahead) is the same thing as short term notifications

[dapper ridge]

quite curious, it never happened to me, do you know the condition it happened?

[dapper ridge]

you can have a tiny window with the dracked items like this

what you ask is the same thing but highlighting on the main window, right?

[pseudo oyster]

hm

how do u set that up

[frank oxide]

yes that would be a nice way to present it

[pseudo oyster]

can udo this rn?

[dapper ridge]

on serttings you can bind it

or manually open it

[pseudo oyster]

is this not listed?

[dapper ridge]

it is called King of the Jungle

[pseudo oyster]

what ab octovine

nvm i figured it out thx

how come ur text is much different aswell

its nice

[dapper ridge]

it is a font called Jersey25

[pseudo oyster]

elaborate pls

[dapper ridge]

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Jersey+25

[pseudo oyster]

is the whole game in this font?

[dapper ridge]

just the Imgui part of it

[pseudo oyster]

hmm

the plugin timer not seeeing to be correct?

3 minutes out

[tacit kindle]

I will note that I get the "happening now" on old events when I enter the game or a new map. It's not 100% consistent, but it only happens in those cases.

[opaque robin]

How did you add transparency to the panel? I was going to feature request it and then I see your screenshot that already has it. 🙂

[viscid oasis]

that's something you need to configure in nexus

it should be transparent by default but only a tiny bit

[opaque robin]

The track next only doesn’t work for me. It still tracks all future instance in the panel.

[opaque robin]

Global alpha?

[viscid oasis]

huh?

if you mean does the transparency apply to all nexus addons then yes

[opaque robin]

I mean is the setting called global alpha?

Oh shit. I just set global alpha to 0 be accident and everything disappered. 😂

[viscid oasis]

yeah there's that setting, there's also the windowbg in colors

[opaque robin]

Is there a config file where I can reset the alpha?

[viscid oasis]

just restart the game

since this setting is not saved you'd have to use the windowbg in colors

[opaque robin]

Ok thanks. Got transparency figured out.

I also notice the close window with esc isn’t working either

[pseudo oyster]

jus me or is the timing completely off?

[river turret]

I've had this happening to me too yesterday, turned out that somehow my system clock was off by 1h on my windows partition. 🤷‍♂️

[plucky orchid]

sorry I meant to reply to this and then.... well got distracted.

Time labels on each tick. Kinda like how Estraya's table works. Like this.

[dapper ridge]

was this a late instance by chance?

[dapper ridge]

oooh make sense, will see if it is possible to include it on curr setup or if it'll look ugly

[rigid owl]

So I set a one time reminder and the toast for it showed up, but I couldn't close the notification . the X does nothing.

[lament jackal]

if that was on a dual-booted system and you are in a GMT +1 or -1 zone, you may wish to change the system clock methodology from UTC to localtime, depending: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_time#Multiple_systems

or you may wish to set Windows to use UTC instead of localtime with your system clock

also, under some Wine setups, TZ variable is handled weirdly, Steam does some things to it, iirc?

[viscid marten]

could we get the information when the next event will be up? especially for world bosses that have multiple hours respawn timer

inside the hover tooltip

[river turret]

I would love someone to remake/update #world-bosses 🫠
The feature to open the map and have everything in sight with a UI that fits the style of GW2 is just great.

I'm adding my own markers there as good as I can but it's limited to 2h cycles and doesn't show events after daily reset, before the daily reset.

[dapper ridge]

@kind monolith may i kidnap that functionality for a future version and merge it to event timers?

[boreal hawk]

can i somehow make the background more transparent? i think its bound to arc settings

this also rly messes all the colors. couldnt find a way

[dapper ridge]

you can hide background and control the color of it, let me open game to show you where

first, hide background by right clicking the window

then you can configure the "background" of each line in this option

[boreal hawk]

damn, i didnt try rightclicking the window.
i have on more question. is it possible to implement custom fonts for the table? since "custom combat text" can do the same, but i dont know how difficult it would be to implement

[viscid oasis]

change nexus font

#🧰┃nexus message

[boreal hawk]

yes, but it will change arc also, thats the issue

[sleek plover]

@dapper ridge can you give us an option to just not display the icon at all and only have it be hot key based only? I looked but did not see an option but possibly reading cm

The icon overlaps with blish when I have blish active

[viscid oasis]

install nexus shim in blish

or change icon position in nexus

[sleek plover]

Fair - I also just don’t want to see the icon if I don’t need to

Otherwise I’ll just leave it off and enable it when I need it - tho that’s more work than typing /wiki et

Which this tool is intended to make easier

[viscid oasis]

which is also fair, but afaik the option isn't there yet so i'm giving you workarounds

[sleek plover]

Yeah and I appreciate that!

I was just commenting originally asking if he can add an option to remove. No rush to do so

I didn’t know about nexus shim so I’ll take a look. Along with nexus settings to configure icon locations

[dapper ridge]

@tacit crater any plan to add in-nexus icon hiding?

[tacit crater]

it is planned,it is implemented in my dev build

[dapper ridge]

i'll add it on my side til then on next update

[wide shuttle]

"track next" doesnt seem to work correctly, and continues to track all subsequent events anyway

[viscid marten]

can we have an option to use colors based of expansions/LS for their corresponding metas?

[dapper ridge]

updates to this addon will come later this week

ive taken note of every suggestion

will implement what i believe that is viable for now

[fierce smelt]

Oy @dapper ridge this addon has been priceless during boss rush - thanks mate!

(also, esc to close doesn't work I think?)

[wide shuttle]

i think there's a checkmark (unsure if true by default) in the settings now but it should work

[dapper ridge]

❤️ ty i forgot ot impelement stuff for the addon soprry folks hehe

[fierce smelt]

Seen it, doesn't help

[tacit crater]

2 factor authentication

you enable closing with escape in nexus and then the addon

making extra sure you wanna close with escape

[fierce smelt]

Both are on for me - pressing esc closes nexus window fine, event timers does not react.

[wild flume]

For some reason my settings for this module keep resetting to default in between sessions.

Also is there any function to have it automatically whisper the waypoint to me when ctrl-clicking an event like you can in BlishHud's version?

[wild flume]

Btw the Convergences are in the wrong places, they're all the way at the top when Inner Nayos should be in the SotO section and Mount Balirio in the JW section.

[dapper ridge]

they are not on wrong place, I took that decision to stack all the instanced stuff into a same block that is called Instances

[dapper ridge]

that is a bit weird ngl

[dapper ridge]

i might look for something better than that

[royal tangle]

Fist of all, great addon and thank you for making it.
Would it be possible to make the categories in the table collapsible ?

[pulsar wasp]

is there a way to show a countdown timer on incoming events, like the one in blishhud does ?

[gleaming ravine]

yes

you need to set a keybind for it here though

and then add each event you want to have displayed in there by right-clicking the respective event in the timeline and press "track"

iirc, the events tracked this way will show in both, the table and the toast-notification (if enabled)

[idle ferry]

is there a way to change sizing? i cant seem to find it, i want to make it smoler

[gleaming ravine]

you can resize the entire window by dragging the bottom corner (does not affect row height, but does impact the column width) and override the track-height in the options

[idle ferry]

omg ty! i didnt realize i could drag it

[raw siren]

This issue is still happening. Don't see any other replies regarding it. Is it being looked into? Anyone else replicating the problem? Currently the only way to get rid of it is do disable and re-enable the addon. If it helps, it only seems to happen for the 0min "Happening Now" toast

[dapper ridge]

a few people are experiencing it but I really had no time to fix it yet because working over 12h a day until my finish my phd, during sundays/holidays i may be able to look it further to see if it is fixable

Just got this panic while testing out the new Proton Experimental: ```2026-04-23 21:15:00.194 [Event Timers] [CRITICAL] panicked at C:\Users\tulio.cargo\registry\src\index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f\chrono-0.4.42\src\offset\local\mod.rs:192:46:

I can't commit to this 100% but this may be a recent change in the 11 branch. I've been running 11 Experimental for a couple of days, and I'm pretty sure I have toggled on the event window at least once without crash, but it may be Mandela effect and I was only looking at the upcoming window (which I also use and is working fine).

Also just confirmed it's not keybind specific, using the Nexus menu icon also triggers the same thing.

[raw siren]

No worries, good luck on the PhD! I understand the stress. I just finished mine recently, and the last several months were especially rough

[dapper ridge]

I'll need to investigate it, if it's on chrono probably easy to patch

[tacit kindle]

I don't know for sure, but my guess is that for some reason Proton 11 is not correctly passing along the host timezone, and chrono is dying becuase it's getting fed an empty timezone string. I didn't see any issues in proton's github repo, so it's either not a widespread issue or common config don't trigger it

I'm running NixOS, so I always have to squint side-eye at whatever it's chosen to do, and I also usually have the atypical setup of having my bios and host os set up for UTC and only setting local timezones in my particular user login confi. Which is also a reason my GW2 launch config explictly passes in TZ, and thus why I know it's being set.

[lament jackal]

i think they fixed the stuff in steam that required setting TZ manually fwiw

[dapper ridge]

today I got a lot of free time, I'll work on every pending feature of this addon after I'm done with Fast swap

(first day i stay at home for more than 3h without sleeping in over 3 weeks )

[dapper ridge]

beta 1.1.3

• Added a configurable "Happening now" Grace (min) cutoff, defaulting to 10 minutes.
• Added clock labels to time ruler interval markers, with spacing logic to avoid clutter.
• Added persisted favorite events via right-click event menu.
• Added main timeline highlights: tracked/one-shot events get colored borders, favorites get gold accents.
• Added favorites to the tracking settings count/list.
• Added a one-time onboarding popup explaining right-click tracking/favorites.
• Tried to fix chrono panicking on Proton 11, as it happens when hadshaking window to get the current utc offset, a new method was devised and the old one will stay as fallback

[tacit kindle]

Can confirm chrono panic is fixed.

[dapper ridge]

wohoo

bug fix for future self: fix the actual "one time onbopard popup" cuz on some systems it is not one time

[dapper ridge]

version 1.1.3 is out

other than this ^

• Added heavy rework on inner function to reduce as much the impact as possible!

[kind sparrow]

I'd like to ask if it is possible to adjust the clock labels on the time ruler according to the user's time zone. I see they show only the server time (GMT +0) right now.

[dapper ridge]

Probably an aftereffect of the Chrono change, will fix it tomorrow or Monday once I get home

[whole ivy]

Hi there. Don't know if it's a me thing but my event timers addon doesn't save changes anymore. Lets say I want to add an event to the timer or want to change the design, after restarting the game it's reverted back to what it was before. I can also see that the "user_config.json" has not been updated.

At the moment the only way for me to save changes to the addon is to disable the addon in Nexus after making changes. Doing that seems to force writing the changes to "user_config.json". After that the changes work after restarting the game as well.

Anyone else experienced something similar? Using version 1.1.3.

[dapper ridge]

Version 1.1.5

fixed this problem #1422998357357498480 message
fixed other problems from code
fixed auto updating via github

Not related to version 1.1.5 but if you update to it you will be able to automatically update to include newest meta!

[dapper ridge]

the config thing is a big mess, I need to improve it, it is the next topic I wanna work on

[tacit kindle]

The chrono panic is back after 1.1.5.

[dapper ridge]

ok so I now know specifically what is causing it, because I readded a single chrono function and it was that haha

[dapper ridge]

special version for you

if it works I'll continue using this structure on future and replace the dll on site with this one

[tacit kindle]

That fixes it.

[dapper ridge]

wohoo, will push it then

[plucky orchid]

YAY thank you for this update! One thing I noticed is that the times seem to be aligned to the center of the "time line" instead of right justified to it. Here's an example:

I added the green line to show the alignment

here's kinda what I expected?

where the time aligns with the event text, almost like the time is just an "event" itself
