This one goes in your actions window and has 4 different timers.. 30 Minute CountDown 30 Minute Count UP 90 Minute CountDown 90 Minute Count UP well, look for yourself.. I'm thinking of adding more intervals to it, but I'd hafta make the actions window bigger than its default.. __________________ Last edited by Dalink : 08-10-2002 at 08:26 PM.

Oh yeah, and here it is.. = )

Dalink's 90 Minute Count UP, 90 Minute Count DOWN,
30 Minute Count UP, and 30 Minute Count Down Timer Set

Extract these files to whatever directory you use for your User Interface.

To restart the timer, type /loadskin <YOUR UI DIRECTORY> 1

The "1" switch is very important, this is what keeps your window positions.

The Ui Directory is the directory for whatever Ui Directory you extracted these files to.

Select the different timers with the tabs on the Actions Window.

When each timer reaches its limit, it will restart.

The timers do remain acurate through zones. In other words, they keep counting while yer zoning.

I hope you like it.

Future Releases may include timers for more intervals. (15 min, 45 min, 60 min, etc etc.) But I think that this would majorly croud the Actions Window.

QUARTZ ONLY VERSION!! YOU MUST HAVE QUARTZ UI FOR THIS VERSION TO WORK RIGHT!!

GET QUARTZ HERE: http://skins.machin-shin.net

Extract these files to your QUARTZ directory.

To restart the timer, type /loadskin Quartz 1

When I logged on it put me to my default folder saying it was unable to load my skin. I changed back to my original ActionWindows.xml file and everything works fine now. hmmmm......was just thinking I may need to switch back my original friends list.........will have to try that. EDIT Ok....If you have one of your original timers that uses the Friend List window.....you have to change it back to the original window by copying it from the default folder to your skin folder. I did this and everything works great now. Last edited by Jabu : 08-11-2002 at 07:30 AM.

Dalink A Snow Cougar Join Date: Aug 2002 Server: Povar Posts: 41	That is correct, you must return the friends timer to its orriginal friends window, or this timer will not work. some of the code is duplicated from the Friends List timer and EQ UI doesnt like that. If you have any of my other timer mods, you must revert your friends list (just delete the EQUI_FriendsWnd.xml file, and it will use the Default one) in order to have this one work. = ) soory for not explaining that..

Somone really needs to sticky this info somewhere. __________________ You can find all my EQ UI work at: http://www.tcnj.edu/~lieuall2/equi/

Oh well, at least people are getting use from the timers..

As soon as we killed the first hand I hit my hotkey for "/loadskin rogue 1". I use the count up timer and 26 min later that hand popped again. Everybody in my group was amazed. I sent them here to download it. Nice work. Jabu 51 Rogue Mith Marr

Dalink A Snow Cougar Join Date: Aug 2002 Server: Povar Posts: 41	Hmm.. A simple edit of the XML could add these timer tabs to the map mod. What map mod is everyone using? I tried the one from EQToolbox.not.net and chose not to use it due to the map loading times and the fact that I use a second computer and EQ Companion for my maps. (nice that it shows you exactly where you are) If I knew what map mod you were using, I'm sure I could post an add on or somthing. Just the new xml file and the Digits.tga file. Just post and let me know.

wolja A Treant Join Date: Aug 2002 Server: veeshan Posts: 25	Nice ui. From a chnters point of view a timer that counts down in seconds would be very useful, ie 60 seconds for enthrall, 90 secs for dazzle etc. The others are good as spawn timers but an in game mez timer would rock.
