Stopwatch / Countdown plugin for Dalamud
License: GNU Affero General Public License v3.0
I do things for stuff I'm passionate about. Can be personal projects, web apps, stuff.
I don't really have anything special to say or show off, but this README.md thing looked fancy, and even though my avatar depicts my hrothgar character from some final fantasy game, I'm a bit of a crow that likes shiny tings sometimes.
When the setting "Display decimals in countdown" is enabled, the Ones column of the countdown value should be reduced by 1 to account for this.
When the countdown usually ticks and shows "5", it is now showing "5.0", then "5.9", "5.8", all the way until "5.1", then it ticks down to show "4.0", then "4.9". If you take the point in time where it's showing "4.9", the countdown is actually at 3.9 seconds... Because 0.1 seconds after the 4 shows up is 3.9 seconds, not 4.9 seconds.
To account for this, the when the vanilla game countdown hits 5, the countdown timer should instead display 4, and then the current decimals that are already in place in the current version. All that is needed is to decrement the big number (ones column) by 1.
I've tried adjusting the offset to match my main (left) monitor's size but that pushes the number offscreen into the void rather than on the intended secondary (right) window where XIV is running. Other plugins with similar pop-up windows do not have this issue.
Exact same issue as Issue #27 but for the floating window.
Changing game screen size messes up the position of the floating window.
Using v2.2.4.1
Hello,
First of all thank you for making this plugins it help a lot when it comes to not early pulling :)
I was wondering if there's a possibility of resizing the text and drag it around and if not is it something that can be considered in the futur ?
Regards

Please let me change the font and color of the count down.

Right now Enable big countdown acts as the Enable button for all countdown drawing features. This means it's not possible to simply enable the decimals/accurate countdown or change the number style without adding numbers before 5. Would be beneficial to allow us to enable other feature without requiring the full countdown to be shown. Even better would be to add a custom point to start displaying the countdown timer. This would allow for players to set up the timer based on what's useful for their classes pre-pull.
oops
Currently, main numbers under 6 don't show and only decimals show. If the user wants to see 5.9, etc., they have to hide the original countdown. However, I would like to keep the original countdown (so it looks vanilla in OBS Game Capture), ignore it, and use the plugin countdown positioned in a different location, necessitating that the plugin displays 5.9 and under properly.
hi! I was wondering if there was a way to make it so (or if you could add the option to) you can set the countdown tick sfx (that in vanilla starts at 5) to be at a specific time on the countdown. it seems like there's only an option for the entire countdown or vanilla but I would love to be able to start it at 10s (even when the countdown is longer). thanks! :)
From discord (Kanaris)
Oh btw @xorus this was an issue from long before EW, but i never got around to making an issue ticket for it.
The engage timer countdown bugs out and overlaps with the vanilla game one if you start and cancel a countdown, or if you wipe during a countdown (from someone messing up prepull, for example). Actually I can't remember which of these it is, or if it is both, but it's worth looking into both of them. It came up many a time during TEA prog.
oh to clarify, it overlaps on the next countdown, after the one where you cancelled or wiped
*copied here so I don't forget*
Message from Darktalon on goat place discord:
@xorus im sorry if this is not the right place to report bugs, but i consistently lose fps in crowded places when i enable EngageTimer Addon, i have ONLY display countdown enabled
typically 4-5 fps drop between enabling or disabling this addon
tested this with every other plugin disabled first
Configuration
Issue reproduced by disabled all plugins except mine in Limsa. FPS dropped by 3-6 frames (sometimes it did not though).
I am not sure if this would be useful as I received feedback from people expecting it, but none asking for it. It would be a pretty big rework :/.
As in, show current time is 123.45 seconds, instead of 2:03.45.
move the same thing, oups
all of them
Where did it go ???
Top teams are investigating.
More news at 5.

Seriously though, maybe some font stuff is going on again with Dalamud, I'll look into this when I can.
hello, is there a way to increase the timers fontsize ?
Hello,
Since the update, whenever a timer is started, it closes my game without throwing any error message after around 5-8s (nothing either in dalamud.log).
I tried various settings, resetting them and even launching a fresh dalamud install with only this plugin installed, and nothing seems to fix this :(
Any idea what might be causing it?
Option to only show stopwatch inside instances as this option is particularly great for planned fights
From Dalamud Feedback:
Background transparency of floating window is not available when multi-monitor window is enabled.
Hey there, thanks for your work on the plugin!
I've noticed that even with the "hide original countdown" setting enabled, the original timer appears for what feels like a single frame, making it flicker onto the screen. It's kind of annoying/distracting, and seems unintended.
I can get footage if needed, but it should be pretty straightforward to repro.

After the most recent update a few days ago, it seems that the "ticking sound for all numbers" feature stopped working for me

- Could you make the FFXIV style numbers a bit thicker or give them a drop shadow?
They are a bit hard to read at times.- Would it be possible to enable rescaling of the floating window, and to be able to disable the minus symbol:
ex: -5.99, able to remove the - sign to make it say 5.99.Otherwise top tier plugin, appreciate all the work! :)
2.0.2.1 • Aujourd’hui à 19:14
(Thanks for the kind feedback!)
Fun thing this pops up right now, I just spent all my afternoon cooking this : 2eabf92 !
- Default style looks closer to the original numbers
- Animation option mimicking the original one
- Hue/saturation/brightness or color replace option
- Scaling option
- Proper bottom align of countdown decimals
- "Test mode" button to get an actual preview
I'm leaving this open until I release that with some other fixes :)
Hi, thank you for this very useful plugin!
I'd appreciate the option to have the timer flash (e.g. blink and change color) at configurable intervals (e.g. from 06:00 to 06:20) into a fight. The use case for this would be to notify the player that it is time to use a potion in a high-end duty.
Oops. I never thought someone would actually use the background color option .-.

I think it's been broken since a bit more because I did not touch that. Bug to confirm.
Maybe I need to rework this align thing, I never got satisfied with it.
You might experience some crashes with the plugin on Linux because of the audio engine I'm using.
I hope I can get to fixing that soon, but for the time being, please disable this option :
If your game crashes before you can access the plugins settings, the entry is called EnableTickingSound in the JSON, and you need to set it to false.
Related to #31
Underlying problem: NAudio does not want to work on linux (can't test it by myself)

Create "laps" that reset the displayed stopwatch :
Triggering :
Then post in echo chat the duration of each lap/phase + total length.
List of things I want to improve:
Note:
This list is just so I don't forget things, you can comment to challenge them but if you have a new idea please create a new ticket
: and .)When doing carryover P12S runs, the timer keeps counting. Practically, players want to reset the timer when entering phase 2. The ACT equivalent is to manually end the encounter so a new one automatically starts when you enter combat after the cutscene. Does this plugin have something similar?
Leave a comment here with details about your settings if you encounter performance issues.
Note: a common performance issue with EngageTimer is Dalamud's multi-monitor option as it can create lag when opening plugin windows in some cases. However, the plugin has to create a borderless window to draw the big countdown.
Please make sure it is disabled in /xlsettings if you do not use that feature.

Dear Xorus,
Greetings! I am Yuwuhuo, one of your plugin's users from China. I wanted to reach out and express our deep appreciation for the exceptional plugin you have developed. We truly admire the quality of your work.
I have noticed that the Crowdin platform for your plugin still lacks a Chinese translation submission. Therefore, I took it upon myself to personally undertake the task of translating the plugin into Chinese. I am writing this message to request permission to submit the translated "rex" files.
Please bear in mind that the English content in this message was generated using Google Translate, and there might be some unintentional offense or linguistic inaccuracies. I apologize in advance for any inconveniences caused.
My intention is to provide a more convenient and helpful experience for Chinese users through this localization effort. Your plugin has already brought tremendous convenience to our community, and I hope that my contribution through this Chinese translation can serve as a way to give back for all your hard work.
Thank you for taking the time to read this private message. I eagerly await your positive response. Once again, thank you for creating such an outstanding plugin!
Best regards,
Yuwuhuo
Since the mentioned update, the timer display has had an off-by-1 error. For example, if a countdown is started with a 20-second duration, the displayed timer will start at 21 seconds (or 20.999 - it's difficult to tell since 21.000 would only display for a single frame at most) and count down to 1 second, at which time it will display "START!"
