About DuffTimer

DuffTimer

Dufftimer is a customizable buff tracking system. It can be used to make fading bars that make it easy to track the time remaining on buffs and debuffs. It can also be used to make a set of icons to either give buff frames to a UI that does not include them, such as HUDUF, or to give you a more customizable window.

Features

As many different customizable effect tracking windows as you need.
Windows can be set to show your effects or either of your targets effects.
Four different types of bars, normal, a reversed bar, icon only, and icon with a miniature bar.
Define what effects you want to show in each window.
- Buffs, debuffs or both
- Set a minimum or maximum time, or hide permanent effects.
- Show only effects cast by player, or all effects.
Define your desired bar texture and font.
Select different sort orders.
Attach effects to target.
Define how many buffs should show and where they are placed.
Localized for language support.

Recent Updates

v2.2.0

Adds support for DuffTimer Filter.
Possible fix for the zero timer issue.

v2.1.0

Beta version.
Adds support for Dufftimer Skin.

Plugins

Dufftimer Skin - Allows you to define new bar types to change the appearance of Dufftimer if you are not satisfied with the default 4.
DuffTimer Filter - Allows you to define and apply custom filters to DuffTimer's windows.

Defaults

By default dufftimer sets up 3 windows, one for yourself and one for each of your targets. If you want your dufftimer to look like the versions up to 1.3.4 change the texture to DuffTimerClassic and check Simplify Colors on the general tab.

Use

Type /duff or /dufftimer to bring up the customization window. Use the Layout Editor for resizing and positioning.

Dependencies

LibSlash is required to use the slash commands. If libslash is not present type /script DuffTimer.Options.OnOptionsButton() to bring up the options window. If you want to put something on your hotbar to open the options menu put that in a macro.

Useful Addons

SharedAssetsHal - A texture pack for LSA, just install it and DuffTimer will have access to more textures.
Phantom - For hiding the default buff frames
TargetLock - Keeps your friendly target from moving around

Language Support

Dufftimer is localized to display whatever language you are playing Warhammer in. Before Dufftimer can display a language someone must fill in the translations, if you'd like to help follow this link to the translators page. Then select your language, fill in the translations and the next Dufftimer package will match your chosen language instead of English.

Acknowledgments

Aiiane for providing the LibSharedAssets library, which is where the bar textures come from.
Gutgut for providing the german translations.
Uizon for writing the original Dufftimer.

Installation Guide

Exit "Warhammer Online" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start Warhammer Online

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of WAR. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

is there any way in current version, or could be implented in a future release, to split buffs and debuffs into different columns, so debuffs in 1 and next to it is the buff column?

I have a problem which the buff-friendly display for players not working correctly
buffs are displayed but only what I've just buffd ... I select the friendly target again ... and then... the buffs are no longer displayed

This problem is only with the friendly target

Never heard of this one. Anyone else seen it happen?

I cant get duff to open since 1.3. Any fix?

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Thurwell said

Far as I know 1.3 doesn't affect duff. Did you reenable duff and liblash after you updated?

Erelath said

Hm its working now, i had it enabled , might have needed another restart, had the same with blackbox. Ty or the help anyway.

I notice a FPS drop when hitting keep doors, tried desactivating the addon and my FPS went to normal, asked to some friends if they were experiencing the same thing and they have the problem too, I don't know if there's a fix to that problem, been using it for months and its hard to play without it :P

Keep doors can have hundreds of dots and debuffs on them. I used to use them for testing new versions of duff, if a keep door wouldn't crash the addon I figured it was working. Never lagged me, but that's probably my hardware.

There's not much you can do right now, maybe upping your refresh rate a little but I don't know how much difference that would make. Some more optimization is required. I have some ideas but they involve some fundamental changes to the tracking code, which I hate to do while it's so stable.

The same is happening to me. I've tried to reduce the amount of buffs shown, and even with only one, the fps drops to around 1fps.

Nothing new in v2.2.3, just saving the anchor positions in another spot to see if that'll help people experiencing the position reset bug.

wurishi said

I had tried changing my addons a bit, disabling a few and deleting a couple more that I realised are now redundant. Then I installed the new version of DuffTimer, and everything seems fine. So far the positions have survived several /reoadui commands, ui editing and game restarts. So... it works. Looks like it was the new version rather than my addon-shuffling, but some feedback from other users should confirm that. Good job, this is now my only and favourite buff addon!

Hi,

for some reason, I can't get the settings window to pop up, everytime I use /duff or /duff timer I get a "unknown command error". Am I doing something wrong or it's just bad luck?

Thurwell said

You probably don't have libslash installed.

could you make it possible to set the 4th 'bar' as a cool down bar? I'm having trouble finding a good cool down bar mod, and this sets everything up the way I like it already.

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Thurwell said

It's an interesting idea. I don't know how cooldown's work, so it's not a simple addition.

I keep getting this error in my debug log:
Script Call failed - Error while calling [DuffTimer.OnPlayerEffectsUpdated]:
[string "Interface/AddOns\Dufftimer\DuffTimer.lua"]:343: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Thurwell said

2.2.2 should eliminate that error message, but I don't know if it is what is causing your anchors positions not to get set.

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Thurwell said

Has anyone who has this position problem tried this patch? Did it fix the problem or not?

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
wurishi said

It happens to me as well. The positions for floating icons (I use it for enemies) still works okay, but everything else resets to the top-left upon death, or reloading or editing the UI (and I havn't tested rezoning).

Btw, I really like this addon and still have it installed -- I disable all the bars and only use the floating icons for enemy targets. I'm currently using another addon for player buffs, but will switch back to Duff once it gets fixed. Really appreciate the work you're putting into it.

Thurwell said

My anchors don't reset, anyone know how to replicate this bug?

Have you tried disabling other addons to see if there's a conflict, and deleting the dufftimer folders in the interface directory that contain the settings to see if something got messed up during one of the WAR updates?

Also, if someone could send me their savedvariables.lua file, that might help.
