DescriptionA simple addon that shows a non-intrusive warning when you've run out of your food or drink buff. See the screenshot on the right for details. You can control it with an easy to use menu or slash commands. It's a no-nonsense addon designed to do exactly what you want it to do, with a minimum of fuss.
Feature List
DisclaimerI haven't bothered to localise this. No one seems to be interested in that functionality, so it's not worth it. If I get enough requests for either, I'll consider it. I'm sharing this though because I genuinely get satisfaction out of the mere possibility of helping others, even when I don't know for sure. I have no interest in being popular, cults of popularity squick me out. As such, considering my disabilities, I'm unlikely to look at the comments very much. So this addon is delivered as-is, with a hearty dose of caveat emptor. Anything that it doesn't already do is 'out of scope.' You have other choices. I just wanted to make an simple, elegant solution for a real problem I was having. And now I'm sharing it in case it helps others.
CreditsMy beau, who gives me the confidence to share these things.

Huh. I did an anchor yesterday and I used a drink. That worked, no errors. I'll try it again, today, when I get the chance. Were there any errors, thrown? Perhaps try resetting the text values to their defaults to see if that fixes it?
I dunno. Perhaps this is one of those bleedin' nebulous PvP things that are constantly a thorn in my side because I can't PvP (health issues). |

No alert for drinks
In PvE I use food so there's no problem there, but in PvP I use drinks (Rislav's Righteousness Red Kvass or Tears of Joy) and I've noticed that the add-on does not give out the alert for drinks only food consumables.
Considering there's a text alert we can set for drinks I'm guessing this is a bug? Also, any chance of allowing a persistent text on the next version to alert us of when we need to refresh our food/drinks rather than just showing up for a second and then fading away? |

The zoning/loading alert would be nice indeed
Also, on the staying always showing, perhaps a slider in settings which goes from 0 to 60, 0 for always having the display on the screen and 1-60 to show the message up to 1 minute on the screen for those who don't always want the message up on the screen. And thanks so much for this! |

Lua Code:
CENTER_SCREEN_ANNOUNCE:AddMessage(eventId, category, soundId, message, combinedMessage, icon, iconBg, expiringCallback, barParams, lifespan, suppressIconFrame) eventId - primary use of CENTER_SCREEN_ANNOUNCE is handling messages from various events and each event has different priority. In my addons I'm using 0 instead of actual eventId (eventId which is not defined), so my messages will have always the lowest priority. category - The alert category to send the alert to. CSA_EVENT_SMALL_TEXT, CSA_EVENT_LARGE_TEXT, CSA_EVENT_COMBINED_TEXT, CSA_EVENT_NO_TEXT soundId - An optional sound id to play along with the message (sound defined in the SOUNDS table) message - The message to alert (either a string or a function that returns a string that will be called every frame) (Optional) combinedMessage - For combined text, the secondary text to display (either a string or a function that returns a string that will be called every frame) (Optional) icon - An icon to be displayed with the announcement NOTE: Combined text is the only thing that uses icons - and only on the small text label. (Optional) iconBg - background for the icon above (Optional) expiringCallback - A callback to be called when the announcement has begun fading out (Optional) barParams - used for player progress bar (Optional) lifespan of the message to be on the screen in milliseconds (Optional) suppressIconFrame - if true, icon frame will be hidden

Let me see if I can break this down, here.
If I understand what you want, you're asking for an optional alert on loading/zoning? That's not too hard, I can do that. I just want to make sure that's actually what you want. In regards to keeping an alert on the screen? I don't think I can do that, I don't actually know how. I'll look into it, but I'm using a system function (CENTER_SCREEN_ANNOUNCE.AddMessage) to display the text. You have to account for my ignorance, here. I'm new to ESO coding and rusty at coding in general. The first is simple, if I can get a confirmation that that's what you're after. The second... well, I'll look, but I make no promises. |

Thanks!
Nothing like doing a pledge run and running out of food halfway and only realizing it by the time you are done isn't ideal lol Been there, done that. Srendarr is great and all, but I have it set to only show during combat plus you can end up forgetting to refresh it when it runs out. This will definitely be a nice way to guarantee I always got the food up when needed.
Awesome idea for an add-on. I would like to point out something however. At first I was like "wait, this isn't working" so I figured the message only showed up inside Cyrodiil or a dungeon, so I switched zones but still nothing. Then I thought of just using a food and canceling the effect to see if that would trigger the add-on to work and it did. First time users might be a bit thrown off by that. I know the idea if to alert on "refresh" hence indicating you must have had some food consumed at first but perhaps it can always notice whether or not you have the food up, regardless if the first time you use the add-on you happen not to have any food running? Also, would it be possible to have an option somewhere to leave a "persistent text" on the screen? The text we set up for the alert to always be up until we refresh the food/drink? I'd love to have a permanent alert up, that way I'd be sure not to forget to use food on Cyrodiil/Dungeons/Trials. And a way to move the location of the text on the screen as well.
