Spell Timer Apps?
Guys I am using this EQlogtools that someone made here - its *pretty* great. It has tons of bugs and i restart it like 4-5 times a night. It works about as good as any eq spell does, sometimes full duration, sometimes 0 duration.
Info on tool here: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...=sevendeuceoff It has multiple spells that it can time at once, its really great. When it works, I'm Super Best caster #1! Does anyone else use a spell timer that works reliably? Audio triggers I haven't tried from gambo soft, do you have to manually set all the spells you want to time? Any other good ones? Perhaps I should use gambo's since thier software is so damn good. But I would like to know options! Thanks! (UPDATE I USE GAMBOSOFT TIMERS NOW - THIS WAS BUGGY AND NOT AS POWERFUL AS GAMBOSOFT) thank oyu for the tool, i did enjoy it when i used it!!!! [You must be logged in to view images.

The limitation with the Eq log timer is now enough to make me seek out a new solution. The bugs I was able to put up with, but there is no way to time roots for enchanter [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Also you can't time a mez & a entrance.. Or multiple entrances.. I will spend the weekend trying to set up Gambos audio triggers and try to make a layman a guide if it works out. Still would like to hear about other options though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Here guys, thought I would help get some of you over that "I dont want to learn new software - So Im just going to assume one day Ill get it to work" part of getting this software to work. Because thats how I was and it was worth sitting down for a night to figure out how to use it.
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] This is what the timers look like, omg they are great. The very first thing you must do is turn on your log, /log true or /log on Using the software is pretty easy once you look at it. I highlighted key things see below: [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Go to : "File> Monitor Log File" and go to your program files where your log file is stored for many people it will be like C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\Logs To make a trigger hit the button on the right "New" (its circled in blue) next fill out Trigger text - pick like a generic wording for a spell you use, i circled my root one, feet adhere to the ground. next check Display Timer (also in blue) and pick how long the spell lasts (the root spell lasts 3 mins, that information is on the p99 wiki for each spell - you have to look that info up yourself) you can choose to always show new timer (which will put multiple timers up if you cast the spell over and over) or you can have it reset the current timer (that will leave only one timer up - good for group buffs and stuff) thats about it, its so easy! Hope this helps the trepidatious people make that first step into becoming way more efficient! | ||

i've been looking for a ui that shows the timers as the default (what you usually see only when you mouse over and press alt key)...i'm certain its possible, but i don't know enough about UIs to make it myself and i haven't found one that can do it.
with timers/augio triggers it is possible, but many of the effects are shared by other spells than the particular one, so you have to be a bit clever in how you set them up. the other solution for triggers is to create a custom trigger. i usually do this with an emote that i make up and put on a hotkey (usually something role playing, but anything would work). For example, if I want to time my haste spell on my chanter I create a hotkey with the emote "/em loves to haste his friends." (or pick anything really---as long as its something anyone else is unlikely to accidentally trigger)---put it on a hot key called "haste timer", set the log file trigger to the correct timer (say, 16 min or whatever it is), add an audio trigger (I use text to speech something like "haste buff timer", etc.). of course, it won't tell you who it wore off on. its just a way of reminding me that its time to do the round of buffs again in my group without having to be pestered by folks constantly asking me or having to check the buff timers (which sometimes seems like half my work load on a buff class). folks do notice when you keep them perma-buffed for several hours on end without them having to ask once for a rebuff...which is also nice if you are trying to be a good group mate. | ||

I use game text triggers to track buff duration, slow duration, root duration, torpor duration, and so on. I have it set up so i know how long a certain person in my group is from needing a torpor refresh, or for myself so i can maximize my healing potential. I have not encountered any bugs. I'm pretty sure this is what would make you happy.

oh and for reference, i make triggers for common people i group with, or with common monsters i fight. so that triggers list duration left for a specific person/mob. I also have it set to text to speech me specific important ones, such as slow wearing off on long solo fights that would end in disaster if slow wore off.
