About ObjectiveTracker

Objective Tracker keeps track of known timers for Battlefield Objectives, and displays up to 5 of the shortest-remaining-duration timers for easy reference. The display can be moved via the layout editor and disappears when no known timers are active.

BOs which are currently being taken will start with a bar of the old owner's color, which gradually gets filled by the new owner's color.

Locked BOs start out with a full bar of the owner's color, which gradually gets filled with gray as the timer runs out.

Installation Guide

Exit "Warhammer Online" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start Warhammer Online

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of WAR. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

Love the mod! I also started using Nobby's Nuts because I wanted the functionality of knowing whats going on with keeps and in other zones. Since I installed that mod I no long get the BO names above my timers for this mod. Any ideas on what the problem might be or how to fix it?
I'm gonna ask the same of the author on the Nobby's Nuts page as well.

It would be nice if you could add the option so it shows if it's merchant, artisan, healing, etc... as on my server, everyone calls them by those names, rather than the BFO name itself.

I may add, this should have the intention to know at a glimpse of an eye, which BOs are Order/Destruction.

Have the intention to know at a glimpse... you know it's color coded right?

Is it possible to merge or add this to the "KeepTracker" - "KeepWatcher" addon, i think of a little spots (like Squared) within the "KeepTracker" boxes.

Hi Aiiane,

Great work on the mods! Is it possible for the Objective tracker to get current timers when you first get into a zone?

So for example if you're just zoning in and some of the BO's are marked Lost you can see how much longer it'll be before you can take them back.

Cheers,
Mandie

No, it's not; the API doesn't actually give times but rather just who owns each BO. ObjectiveTracker just listens for the "something got captured" event and looks to see what BO changed hands, then starts its own internal timer. Since it doesn't know when BOs flipped hands if it's not in the zone (since the client doesn't tell it), it can't know what the time left is.

Wouldn't it be possible to use some hidden chat channel and have ObjTracker send update pulses as pure text in those channels. So if player X is in the zone when something gets capped, and player Y enters zone 1 min later, player X's objtracker triggers a update on player Y's tracker ?
Hope you understand what I mean, and I'm not at all sure it's possible to do, but I saw this addon which made me think of the idea: http://war.curse.com/downloads/war-addons/details/tca.aspx

Imo it shouldn't need to poll very often, like every full minute would be enough, it'll be more than we have today rite ? =)

It is possible to send information via chat, but there are some drawbacks to doing this (including potentially interfering with *real* player chat), and thus I've decided not to support chat syncing at this point in time. I don't feel that the communication abilities currently provided to addons by the API are good enough to make it worth supporting them and the extra hassles that come with that.

If only this great mod, your other addon Realm Status, and Nobby's Nuts would merge as one. These awesome mods make RvR more enjoyable by making it easier to know whats going on, and track the status.

Dont work for me with the layout editor, the window resize but the content of the window no.

Why?

Dunno if this has been suggested before, but I'd love the ability to click the timers to announce them in my current active chat. Alt/Ctrl/shift+rightclick for instance, to not interfere with click through to target.

The problem with that is the way the click-handling system works with WAR; click-thru is all-or-nothing; I can't say "click-thru on regular click but not on these modifiers", I can only say either "ignore clicks" or "capture clicks".

Would it be possible to perhaps create a button next to each object so you could click on that button much like with the GUI configuration interfaces?
