Update: Regnum WarZone Stats for Windows 7 and Vista

[v0rt3x]

The Bosses respawn at every Server at the same time.
But you must note the different time zones, where the players live.

I'll know why at approx 3:21pm PST. I'm guessing this script calculates the appox time the boss will show up, not how much time is left.

It uses the local time on your computer via Javascript. At least I think it does. Let me know if you notice otherwise and I'll try to come up with a fix.


I "borrowed" this script from http://syrtishorus.pixforum.net/ and just dropped it in the gadget before I hit the sack.

I made sure to put all the credit/blame on those guys in the readme and script header.

HEY! I'd be curious if that little update indicator works well enough for you guys. Drop a line in that regard, will ya??

For sure if I had a live widget I would be induced to play more based on the situation.
I use trelain's app and I have been very satisfied with it. It is permanently up. But it does seem to be pulling the same erroneous data that is getting put up on the official site.

Amen to that. The sad part is NGD indeed have a fansite package (187MB) but they never wanted to release anything to the community, even if we asked God knows how many times (I was spamming community managers since the beginning about it and response was always "ask me later" or "will be soon"). That is why I started gathering RO related material that can be useful for fansites and other fan products.

Trelain, good job on the gadget. I would like to add your Boss timer gadget into the File repository too, if you dont mind?

Anpu... It's part of the same gadget... Just download the latest package from http://trelaine.site50.net/index.php?resource=2 and mirror it on your site.

I've added tabs on the top to switch between the map and the bosses. I've also worked the script so I can add a couple more tabs. I just don't know what else would be good to add to the gadget.

Vincent_Valentine submitted another link to me for boss times:
http://regnum-fans.de/en/?page=respawn

I use the script from this site for the gadget:
http://syrtishorus.pixforum.net/

Any idea which one is more accurate?

I just found a bug in the Boss Timer. It' doesn't update properly once the boss shows. It won't display the "next" time this new boss will show again.

I've a pretty good idea why. The initial script variables are set outside the function that updates the timers. These need to be included inside the function. I'll be fixing the script to handle this issue. Expect an update indicator on your gadget in the next day or two.

Sorry about the inconvenience but with the addition of this new function there's bound to be a few issues until it's handled.

And again... I'm using a time reference from the Syrtis Horus fanpage. This seems to be a little bit inaccurate so any info you guys can send me on the accuracy of my gadget would be GREATLY appreciate.

I really prefer to write "perfect" programs that I don't have to worry about It just adds... "more enthusiasm" to my day

cheers,
Trelain

Well if you can make the perfect boss timer...
I will replace it on the syrtis forum

Hey,really good job. I use windows 7 and I can only see warzone map and no boss. A friend of mine who has windows vista can see boss respawn too. Boss respawn can't be shown on windows 7?

I'm using Windows 7 Professional and it works fine. Are you certain you have the latest version of the gadget?
