XP Notifier Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.4.7

by: Azilarir [More]

XP Notifier will log a message to a new window (or optionally your chat window) whenever you receive character XP, tradeskill, or other skill XP. The chat messages are considerably cleaner than insMobs2Level (or they are to me, anyway -- I'm very particular about formatting and usability). Additionally, the colors and which notifiers are enabled are all configurable and the add-on supports English, French, and German, although feel free to yell at me if I've got the translations wrong -- I only speak English personally.

Version 1.4.7 released 7/8/2014

Enjoy.

Concept for this mod is inspired by insMobs2Level by ins.

Version 1.4.7 - July 8, 2014
* Consistent with the latest API version from Veteran Crypt of Hearts patch, version ID 100007.

Version 1.4.6 - June 6, 2014
* Consistent with the latest API version from Craglorn patch, version ID 100004.

Version 1.4.5 - April 23, 2014
* Fixed an issue where 1 repeat remaining would sometimes tell you that you leveled up prematurely.
* More German translations from DaBear78.

Version 1.4.4 - April 23, 2014
* Fixed an add-on crash when levels were being tracked without XP gains and adventure XP was turned off.

Version 1.4.3 - April 22, 2014
* Fixed erroneous veteran level gain. Should display at appropriate times only now.

Version 1.4.2 - April 22, 2014
* Fixed an instance of some skills not being cleaned of their masculine/feminine descriptors (^m and ^f, etc.) for French and German translations when a skill level increased that wasn't being tracked.
* Additional and better translations (courtesy of DaBear78).

Version 1.4.1 - April 22, 2014
* Quick fix for settings not saving -- the per-character save adjustment in 1.4 got botched.
* Moved around some code so that the settings panel appears right away, not delayed like the load message.

Version 1.4 - April 21, 2014
* Settings are now saved on a per-character basis, which is important because alts may not want to track the same skills. This may cause some of your prior preferences to reset -- sorry in advance!
* A new feature was added to allow you to get notifications on level ups even when a specific XP or skill type wasn't being tracked.
* A bug was fixed for when learning new skill lines that would crash the client. My last fix in version 1.3.3 wasn't enough. This one has been tested thoroughly.
* Some fixes and tweaks to how and when leveling up is calculated, so messages display correctly.
* No known issues now: XP, VP, skills, and level detection should all be working correctly with any and all combination of options.

Version 1.3.6 - April 21, 2014
* Final fix for veteran XP. Thanks to umarmung and sayaraven for helping me work out the kinks!

Version 1.3.5 - April 20, 2014
* Fixed veteran XP... again. I think. I want cookies.

Version 1.3.4 - April 20, 2014
* Another fix for XP not showing anymore after level.
* Fixed veteran XP (I think -- can someone test this?).

Version 1.3.3 - April 20, 2014
* Fixed a bug causing the add-on to fail to load if other add-ons weren't also present (I was loading a library incorrectly).
* Fixed a bug where XP gain messages stopped showing up if you gained a level (affected adventuring, tradeskill, and other skill levels).
* Fixed a bug where learning new skill lines would cause popup errors. Now, the errors will not show up, although you will need to reload the UI to update the settings panel with the new skill line. This is a limitation of how the ESO API works and while there's possibly a convoluted work-around to it, there are few times where you gain entirely new skill lines and that it's just super inconvenient to reload your UI.

Version 1.3.2 - April 19, 2014
* Fixed a bug where the slider controlling the separate XP Notifier window text fadeout wasn't actually doing anything... oops.

Version 1.3.1 - April 19, 2014
* Added an option to configure the text fade timeout in the separate XP Notifier window.
* Quick adjustment to the formatting around a parenthesis (oops).

Version 1.3 - April 19, 2014
* Added options to toggle off the repeat counts in messages per section (character XP, tradeskill XP, and other skill XP).
* Added configurable prefix text. The default is still just a plus symbol (+).
* Added more localization support (should cover everything now -- had left some level up messages in there that were English-only from the last version).
* Added developer debug messages (very bottom option in the settings panel).
* Corrected some German translations with credits to DaBear78 for his assistance.

Version 1.2 - April 18, 2014
* Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause character XP to not be tracked.
* Added language support for French and German -- please be kind about the translations, though! I just Googled around and did the best I could without actually speaking those languages. Feel free to correct me in the comments.

Version 1.1 - April 18, 2014
* Fixed a bug that would tell you to repeat -0 times whenever you leveled or skilled up. Now a message will indicate that you gained XP and a level.
* Added an optional new window to send XP notification messages to, including options to hide while in settings/menus, fade out when no mouse hover, etc.
* Cleaned up the default options some and refactored code.

Note: the optional new window has a message fade-out timer of 60 seconds. After this time, there is no way to retrieve scroll-back messages, even with the wheel mouse. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or concerns about this (and remember that you can always log XP to both the new window and your chat window).

Version 1.01 - April 16, 2014
* Split tradeskills into individual skills and added dynamic notifiers for all skills you have unlocked.
* Added color customization for each basic type (character XP, tradeskill XP, and other skill XP).

Please note that other skill XP (armor, weapons, etc.) are very spammy during fights -- you may only want to enable this to see what kinds of gains you're getting for testing or confirmation that gains are what you expected.

Version 1.00 - April 15, 2014
* Initial release.

but...

whenever i /reloadui. the settings are ALL reset

what's also odd is that it sometimes doesn't appear in the settings menu, even though the addon is loaded in the addons menu...i pretty much have to walk around and loot something, then i get to see the options in the settings menu

Same problem here: If I set the language the german, the addon disappears from the settings menu. When I loot something it's there again. And no settings stay the way I wanted them to stay, they all go back to default every reload...

By the way, the german part (at least the new parts) can be translated like this:

Code:

		XPN.Lang.Localization.NowLoadedFor = " geladen für |r"
		XPN.Lang.Localization.RepeatToLevelA = "wiederhole |r"
		XPN.Lang.Localization.RepeatToLevelB = " mal um zu leveln"
		XPN.Lang.Localization.Level = "Level"
		XPN.Lang.Localization.NewLevel = "neues Level: "
		XPN.Lang.Localization.NewLevelVP = "neues Veteranen-Level: "
		XPN.Lang.Localization.NewLevelTS = "neues Handwerk-Level: "
		XPN.Lang.Localization.NewLevelSkill = "neues Fähigkeiten-Level: "
		XPN.Lang.Localization.ReloadUIForNewSkill = "Sie haben eine neue Fertigkeiten-Linie erlernt. Laden Sie Ihr Interface neu, um es in den Einstellungen zu sehen."
		XPN.Lang.Localization.Veteran = "Veteran"

EDIT: And there seems to be a problem with the skill names.

I've updated the add-on 4 times in the last 24 hours... so a specific version number would be handy.

You can also enable debug and see if the problem continues. Also you can enable just the XP Notifier add-on and see if the problem continues. Just some troubleshooting I'd try if you are indeed on the latest version (1.4.2).

I removed the add on and reinstalled to make sure it was the latest proper version.
Tried with all my normal add ons enabled, as well as turned off (only xp notifier running), and it still tells me I gained a new veteran rank (I'm currently 11 % or so into V3).

If you can tell me how to provide more information I will try and provide it, but I don't know much about add on coding or debugging I'm afraid.

The addon lies to me

I became lvl 21 and it told me that I have a new level: 20! ^^

Some translations I missed the last time (I forgot to look at the settings.lua

)

DaBear78 Forum posts: 1 File comments: 120 Uploads: 0	Have you tried using Lua Code: zo_strformat(<<1>>,skillName) instead of your own function Lua Code: CleanName(skillName) ? This transforms the string specified in 'skillName' to the right format the game wants. It works flawlessly for items (I tested it with a lot of items while trying to write my own loot addon). Maybe it will also work for skills? But please don't stone me to death if you try it and it does not work EDIT: Something I want to now, maybe you can answer (maybe you have tried ^^): You use: Lua Code: zo_callLater(XPN.FullyLoadedUp, 3000) which seems to be a good idea if you want to read this loading message, but would it also be possible to register the function XPN.FullyLoadedUp for EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED and alter the function to unregister itself, so that message is not shown everytime I have a loading screen? So the function would look something like this: Lua Code: function XPN.FullyLoadedUp() XPN.Message(XPN.title .. XPN.Colors.cText .. XPN.Lang.Localization.NowLoadedFor .. XPN.Colors.cNumber .. GetDisplayName() .. "\|r" .. XPN.Colors.cText .. ".\|r") EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent(XPN.AddonFolder, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED) end And of course you would have to register this function just under the EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED. Lua Code: EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(XPN.AddonFolder, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED, XPN.FullyLoadedUp) If you don't know the answer, I'll try for myself EDIT 2: One last thing... Ever thought of your addon to automatically select the same language that the client uses? So english players would see the english version, german players the german version and french players the french version... If you use Lua Code: local loc = (GetCVar('language.2') or 'en') the variable 'loc' will contain 'de' or 'fr' or 'en', and thats all the info you need ^^ But that's all just crazy ideas from me, if you don't like them or don't want them then just ignore me Last edited by DaBear78 : 04/23/14 at 05:49 PM.

I haven't given any consideration to this yet -- foreign language support was something I quickly threw together at your request and didn't check if there was something like this baked into the API.

zo_callLater(XPN.FullyLoadedUp, 3000)

which seems to be a good idea if you want to read this loading message, but would it also be possible to register the function XPN.FullyLoadedUp for EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED and alter the function to unregister itself, so that message is not shown everytime I have a loading screen? So the function would look something like this:

Lua Code:

function XPN.FullyLoadedUp()
    XPN.Message(XPN.title .. XPN.Colors.cText .. XPN.Lang.Localization.NowLoadedFor .. XPN.Colors.cNumber .. GetDisplayName() .. "|r" .. XPN.Colors.cText .. ".|r")
    EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent(XPN.AddonFolder, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED)
end

And of course you would have to register this function just under the EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED.

Lua Code:

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(XPN.AddonFolder, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED, XPN.FullyLoadedUp)

If you don't know the answer, I'll try for myself

Quite possibly there's some better way to do it, such as the above. I'm sure other add-ons use that kind of method. You said you get the message every loading screen? I don't. I get it every time I reload my add-ons (or restart the entire game client), but that's it.

the variable 'loc' will contain 'de' or 'fr' or 'en', and thats all the info you need ^^

But that's all just crazy ideas from me, if you don't like them or don't want them then just ignore me

I originally tried this exact code from a snippet in another add-on. It prevented me from logging in with a generic error (tried both French and English) -- it didn't just crash the add-on, it was literally the GetCVar() call that broke game logins for me. I wasn't willing to spend time debugging why if the client is so tempermental that an add-on can potentially crash it out, so I just left it as a configurable option instead of detection.

You're version also works, so no need for a change, I was just wondering if you did it because there were bugs in the build in function or just because you didn't know about it

Must be a problem with 'en' and 'fr' or it's fixed right now, because I use this call in my own "tests" (I have to call them tests, because they are no real addons right now, maybe later

) without a problem, but I only tested the german client. On second thought, the dropdown version you use may even be a lot better because you can choose which language you want and are not tied to the language of your client
