Not sure What section to post this in, and also dont know if the forum mods support the use of Windower.

But i recently started lvling my dnc again and the Statustimer up top is sitting right on my Finishing move counter.

I was wondering if there is a way to slightly lower the position of the timer, the same way you can edit the Recast timer position.

Thanks

Code
load statustimer
st setpos 145 40
I use something like this after statustimer loads to set the location. Works similarly to wincontrol and the other plugins that have .ini files to change location, though it's all command based. Doesn't store settings either, so have to re-enter each time Windower starts up.

Specifics can be found here: http://wiki.windower.net/plugins/statustimer

Windower > scripts > init.txt

Just put the code in there and it will run every time.

I think (reach the limit of my windower knowledge) you need to write:

Code

load statustimer
.st setpos 145 40


I think its the . that makes it work... but if that doesn't work then I suggest you try the windower forums.

If your plugins folder doesn't contain the file StatusData.txt, you can create it yourself. Just put the following in the file:
Quote:
//Place any user desired durations in this file.
//You can also change the display name if you like.
//For IDs, look in resources.xml or online.
//You can also use the “toggleextinfo” command in StatusTimer to see the IDs of your current buffs.
//Format: <status name>,<status ID>,<default duration in seconds>,<alternate duration in seconds>
//If default duration is 0 (zero) or not given, time will always count up
//If default duration is -1, time will not be displayed
//If alternate duration is less than 1 or not given, it will be ignored
//Use two slashes (//) or a semi-colon (;) in front of the lines if you want them ignored

//Blink is included as a format demonstration, along with it needing an
//alternate duration value (300 = 5 min = Blink, 900 = 15 min = Aerial Armor)

Blink,36,300,900

If that doesn't work, just reinstall StatusTimer to your plugins folder and it should create it for you when you reload it.

As for getting the timers to load where you want them, go into your init.txt file in your scripts folder and find the area where all of your plugins are auto-loaded. It should have stuff like:

load chatmon
//load expwatch
//load plasticsurgeon
load statustimer
load recast
etc.

The line under that, type:
st setpos 145{40}

If that doesn't work, just enter them individually like so:
st setposx 145
st setposy 40


Just set each axis to the position you want them to be. That will load StatusTimer with the timers where you want them every time.

again no luck.

Ive tried everythign you suggested.

//unload statustimer

and reloaded it

//load statustimer

and the text was stillin the original position.

But it works if i type

//statustimer setpos 145 75

right into the console.

I even tried inputting that into my init file without the // and no luck.

:( /sigh ive tried everything.

Here's what I do, Lowblow, and looking at it can only figure I've had the same problem since I have no idea why I did this in the first place. lol

In init.txt I simply have the following command with all my other plugin loads:
Code
exec status.txt
- which contains these lines:
Code
load statustimer
st setpos 145 40
Seems like a roundabout way of doing it so I can only guess I probably had your problem before as well. Good luck!

You don't need to do it that way. Maybe I wasn't clear. Don't ~unload~ statustimer, reinstall it.

Everything else I said about the init.txt file should work. I tested it every which way before posting. lol

The only thing I can suggest about why it isn't working when you add it to your init.txt file is that you're putting "//" before it. Putting "//" before a command will cause windower to ignore it if it's in your init.txt file.

Edit: Didn't see the part about the macro inside your init.txt file. Nevermind! :3
