* Change: Should a Mod incorrectly attempt a start due to unusual client states, KBM will hard reset the mod preventing it from locking up entirely.

Please do not take this as negative, we ALL love this add-on and the time you spend on it is MUCH appreciated
I try and keep the "release" versions as daily, the only time there maybe a few within hours of each other are when certain mechanics could cause the Rift Client to crash (I've hopefully addressed all these now), so they're more hotfixes.

Other releases are tagged mainly for French or German translation updates, so they'll also be released as I get the translations through (don't like leaving the other clients out).

So yeah, with the above in mind, it may seem the update schedule is quick, but some are optional for localization others are hotfixes for certain encounters I manage to test for the first time.

Once I'm happy with the current mechanics, and stability I plan to have the updates less frequent but larger.

Thanks for the feedback, hope the above explains a little behind why some updates are close together.

It does indeed and I hope you didn't take it as a complaint

A great add-on!

When will have the ability to turn off the cast bars from the addon? The cast bars also don't seem to be going at all where my anchor is now.

Nope, just thought it helpful to explain to people why there are so many updates currently. They'll start slowing down once I've fully ironed out the last transitions to the new engine. Basically had to rewrite the main engine due to the ninja server side patch by Trion the other day.

Very soon, just making sure the current engine (where I was before the patch) is running smoothly and not crashing Rift (version 0.7.0 is looking very stable, just some non-critical errors, and minor cosmetic touches to do).

But, Castbars and other items are due for a make-over, with size, positioning, more filters for individual bosses, the ability to size, position for individual bosses and of course the ability to disable/enable either globally or on a per-boss / per-account basis.

The last patch (it had no PTS time, and I was given no warning) hit me where it hurts, and sent me back about 1 month in development time. But, I'm about where I expect to be now.

Ok, I'm hoping this will be the last of the small updates. But, there was a critical error with the German Client that needed fixing, so pushed this part sooner than expected.

Next update shouldn't be until at least Thursday (may even be later) of this week, so you can hopefully give your download buttons a rest

Possibly famous last words, but fingers crossed!

One or 2 minor issues with 0.7.1 found tonight, Timers have been addressed for 7.2, and Tank-Swap can be disabled for now to avoid the only bug.

I will be working on Tank-Swap (it's the only remaining part of the old engine and doesn't play nice) tonight, expect 0.7.2 to be out later with a fixed Tank-Swap, the return of stable Timers and possibly Inwar Darktide being supported further.

Snarty, will it be possible to have options to have timers and or screen flash for events that are not currently provided?

Allow me to explain..... On the Estrode fight there is no timer for the two skills that need to be purged but the screen does flash when it needs purging. As a raid leader it is very handy if you can give those responsible for this role a heads-up which can only be achieved with a timer there.

I appreciate that perhaps this will make this add-on a little more similar to Wire's but from a selfish point of view what we are finding we would like the most is to have the options for timers, alerts and screen flashes for all of the mechanics.

Any chance of this happening?

Thanks for watching our video on YouTube too btw, a very close 8 seconds indeed!

Regards,

Az

Yeah I can certainly look in to it.

If you have any timers or alerts you feel are missing I'll gladly add them all. The only reason mechanic additions took a back seat was mainly due to having to recode the engine and then ensuring all the current mechanics behave in a stable manner. I'm hoping that 0.7.2 addresses this.

So, if you have data for timers/flashes you feel are missing I'll implement them. If you don't have the times for them I'll gladly look over my combat log history and figure if they can be represented by a an accurate timer, or at the very least fall in to a +/- 1 second time frame.

As a side note, and a word to other players who use KBM, I ran it consistently tonight in a guild run 10/11 clear for unlock and the only issues were ones addressed in the latest update (had to disable Tank-Swap). So, I feel I'm now at the point I'll happily add any mechanics anyone feels an encounter is missing. (This includes all content, not just HK).

And yeah, I always enjoy watching videos of other guilds progress in HK, and obviously cheers me up when I see KBM behaving (mostly).

Thanks to everyone sticking by KBM the last week, it was a rough road.

The two key ones for us at the moment are the two purgeable ones on Estrode. Do you need the names or do you have this info? I will go through the rest of the timers on other fights later today.

Many thanks for this

Hi,

The changes/extras for within HK that we would love to see added so we can just use this add-on are as follows:

Zamira - Timers:
  • Hideous Blast
  • Revolting Ichor
Molinar - Timers and Screen Flash
  • Frightening Shout (timer)
  • Runic Feedback (flash)
Sicaron - Timers
  • Excruciating Hex
  • Moldering Decay
Estrode - Timers
  • Dancing Steel
  • Rage of the North
Grugonim - Timers
  • Necrotic Breath (if it can show the number of the breath too this would be AWESOME)
Cosmetic Adjustments
  1. If it was possible to adjust the colour of the screen flash and alert this would be great.
  2. Ability to resize the UI for timers, alerts and flash.
Many thanks in advance for considering this and I hope the timers at the least can be included as soon as possible :P

Regards,

Az

Well, the good news is better customization is currently in development. I'm just working out the best way to add this to option pages for each boss without it becoming too complicated.

First up will be new global settings for Timers, Encounter/Enrage Timers, Castbars and Phase/Objective displays (They're already designed to be variable, just not finished the GUI for it). You'll be able to adjust the width, height, transparency and text size individually in addition to the current placement. Once they're in place, I'll work on the color editor for all of the above plus the ability to skin them.

As for the timers, I'll go over my parses for the ones you've listed and see which ones are truly viable. But I think most of what's there I should be able to represent with the new engine.

Thanks again for the feedback.

This is excellent news

Of the timers I listed a nameless raid killer add-on handles them all apart from Frightening shout and as you have the timer for runic feedback I am hoping adding a flash will be easier?

Can't wait for these changes and especially the new timers being added

Kind regards,

Az

P.S Look forward to using the new timers in HK tomorrow night :P

Yeah, I totally forgot to add the flash for Runic, it's in for the next version already, includes both a warning solid screen alert followed by the duration alert (Blue).

I've also just this minute added Estrode's Rage of the North Timer, seems to be around 8 seconds from my parses, variable between that and 9/10 is the most I've seen. I've also added that any timers unique to soul's are stopped on soul change.

I can't see any issues with improving Grugonim, I'll possibly either add a new Objective method to my Phase tracker which can count abilities used (ie, for the Breaths) or a unique counter, the former maybe be useful for other encounters and maybe new encounters yet to be seen. I'll also add a count for the number of towers destroyed for the sake of completeness. The way my objective tracker works, is that I can add and remove objectives at will without needing to change phases.

Anyhow, from this point forward, KBM will be expanding more than being fixed, since I feel most of the niggles are now resolved.
