Thank you much

Kitties <3 yarnballs.

As for recast, grab the newest resources.xml off windower site.
If any are still showing up as unknown, set ShowIndex=1 in your recast.ini, then manually fix the entries yourself.

Awesome, thanks.

This is my first time using YarnBall so I don't know what improvements were made. All I will say is, THIS IS F"ING GREAT!

Thank you!

Anyone know if there's an option to display people's names instead of numbers, next to the buff name?

e.g.

Refresh (Bob) - 2:19

instead of the default

Refresh (346981) - 2:19

Never used this before, so not familiar with all the configs.

The numbers are temporary until the player list get refreshed which can be solved by loading yarnball from the start or zoning after you started it.

[Shenrien]

anyone know how to resolve the issue of the black backdrop that messes up and takes up the entire screen?

[Cymmina]

How come the buffs it tracks are hardcoded? I'm sure most people don't want to wait 2 years for you to add support for SuperAwesomeBuff or KickassFood.

thank you for phalanx!

The configuration file would look like pseudocode kinda like spellcast do.

[Mafai]

can it be based off of resources? i believe this handles durations for all spells and is somewhat auto updated after maintenances

--edit--

maybe it is, but you just define what buffs it actually tracks in the code

No.

            <if BuffActive="Composure">
                <if spell="Refresh" SpellTarget="Yabai">
                    <!--command when="aftercast">wait 150;input /echo [Refresh] Wearing off in 5 minutes</command-->
                    <!--command when="aftercast">wait 300;input /echo [Refresh] Wearing off in 2.5 minutes</command-->
                    <command when="aftercast">wait 420;input /echo [Refresh] Wearing off in 30 seconds</command>
                    <command when="aftercast">wait 440;input /echo [Refresh] Wearing off in 10 seconds</command>
                    <command when="aftercast">wait 445;input /echo [Refresh] Wearing off in 5 seconds</command>
                </if>

Not sure how it would read XI or not but i'm sure there is someone that knows how to pull it off.

Interesting. I am not good at coding at all, and I have been trying to do something similar, but to write it on the screen using the Text plugin. I just don't have the coding know-how to write it. It should be easy, but all the things I have tried have failed.

Any help?

This is quick and untested, I'm not at my ffxi machine at the moment to make it pretty.
You can a "text delete RefreshMe" to the end if you like, but that would mess up if you did an overlapping recast. This way just shows the wrong message for a while if your recast overlaps.
Change Yabai to your own name and hope for the best.

<if BuffActive="Composure">
<if spell="Refresh" SpellTarget="Yabai">
<!--command when="aftercast">text create RefreshMe</command-->
<!--command when="aftercast">wait 150;text set RefreshMe text "[Refresh] Wearing off in 5 minutes"</command-->
<!--command when="aftercast">wait 300;text set RefreshMe text "[Refresh] Wearing off in 2.5 minutes"</command-->
<command when="aftercast">wait 420;text set RefreshMe text "[Refresh] Wearing off in 30 seconds"</command>
<command when="aftercast">wait 440;text set RefreshMe text "[Refresh] Wearing off in 10 seconds"</command>
<command when="aftercast">wait 445;text set RefreshMe text "[Refresh] Wearing off in 5 seconds"</command>
<command when="aftercast">wait 450;text set RefreshMe text "[Refresh] Worn off"</command>
</if>

Very cool, but where will that display on the screen?

[Aikar]

youd have to create a "RefreshMe" text object in your scripts yourself (on job change to RDM and remove it on job change to others) which is where you specify position color etc

[Hanyoko]

Am i setting something up incorrectly or does yarnball not work with Phalanx II?

What does yarnball do?

When you cast spells; it puts an on screen timer for its duration and flashes for a few seconds after it has expired.
Provides an "at a glance" of who still has what buffs.
I want to say if the spell wears off and you get the message in your log it removes the timer as well (from a dispel or manual cancel).
