Is there a way to get rid of the buff duration side of timers? (or at least stop it reading certain things?)

Know how long Songs/Rolls/Hasso is going to last: Great

Having Sneak/Trick attack (and assassin's charge etc) pop up every time: No need, and extremely annoying/screen blocking.

**Khamsin** · 2013-04-17 14:43

If there were a way to not show timers on buffs that last a minute or less, or an hour or more, that'd clean things up a bit.

**Modoru** · 2013-04-17 14:47

Also self buffs appear twice. I have Yonin show as "Yonin 2:30 recast" "Yonin[Self] 5min duration" "Yonin (Self) 5min duration"

And I mean, it's nice to know when it's about to go away, but holy crap, three of them? <_<

**Nitecon** · 2013-04-17 15:00

Anyone else come across the following issue affecting consoleBG, attainment, and scoreboard? Text going completely missing on all 3. Scoreboard still reports correctly but the overlay doesn't show up properly, the one in the picture should have up to 10 names.

Har Har. Seriously though, Recast never blacked out my screen and never skipped lines and such.

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-04-17 15:38

It's never going to happen. Recast would need a complete re-write to be ported so it could use the new resources files, and then it would end up being the same as Timers' slim mode.

Edit: nvm

Don't have buffduration/btimers loaded then.

Problem with the hook, refer to page 46 of this thread...

Lucky you, because the issue with timers has been in the hook since before windower v3 with text not appearing and backgrounds bleeding. It's a hard one to fix but will be done eventually.

You probably have bTimers or BuffDuration loaded as well. //lua unload ___, turn BuffDuration off in the launcher.

You can try unloading/reloading Attainment and Infobar. This sometimes fixes the issue for me (temporarily).

**grevenilvec75** · 2013-04-17 19:32

Spoiler: show

what happened? I never changed any of the colors.

Spoiler: show

EDIT: AAAAAANNNNNDDDDDDD now my mule's entire screen is white.

I give up on timers, let me know when this shit gets fixed.

EDIT2: Just let us make the background clear and that fixes half the problems.

**Radec** · 2013-04-17 19:53

Save you timer positions from the settings/timers.xml file, delete timers.xml, timers.dll, load launcher again and plugins > get timers. Now has settings to set background color (bgA etc) so you can set a clear background until the primitives error has been fixed.

Becuase the bgA etc fields aren't in your timers.xml settings file yet, the background is solid.

I have Aecho and Autojoin enabled, but it doesn't seem like they work(unless I have to toggle a setting).

Dunno about Aecho, but for Autojoin it defaults to using an "only accept invites from certain people" mode. Change the mode to Blacklist in its settings xml.

Edit: Woops, got it backwards.

**Ophannus** · 2013-04-17 22:15

Ok got it, actually its defaulted on white list, has to change it to blacklist. just need to figure out how to enable aecho

**finalwolf** · 2013-04-17 23:15

Any way to get rid of the buff duration part of Timers. It's distracting and near the middle of my screen. The recast area was fine for me. Overlaps party chat too, being a whm, having buff durations of my party members blocks the chat area.

**Ophannus** · 2013-04-17 23:29

Go to plugins>settings>timers.xml

scroll down and go to where it says

<enableBuffs>true/enableBuffs>

Change to false

Mine doesn't even have that. Also, what do I need to edit the .xml? Just html editor?

**Ophannus** · 2013-04-17 23:39

right click, open in notepad/wordpad

**finalwolf** · 2013-04-17 23:44

thanks for that. I had to add that into my Timer.xml. works as I needed to.
