EggTimer

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Monitor the remaining duration on your Mysterious Eggs and other perishable items. These items (and their durations) will be hardcoded in as they are requested. Items are only properly detected when you first receive them. Item detection is disabled when the Trade window is open, in order to prevent detecting old items.

This is an Ace3 addon, with support for LibDataBroker. A minimap icon is available for those without a broker display.

You can find the official forum thread here. You can help with localization here. You can report issues and feature requests here.

Known Issues:
If you are experiencing tooltip duplication with DockingStation, be sure to disable DockingStation's tooltip scaling features for EggTimer.

History:
Version 0.4 has been largely rewritten and will lose your data from 0.3. However, we have nice Consortium information now, and new features will be much easier to add in future.
Version 0.3 prompts you to create a Calendar event for when your egg will hatch. A summary of perishables on any of your characters is available on the FuBar/LDB/DBIcon tooltip. You can configure announcements so you'll be notified when your items expire.

Detected items:
Ahn'kahar Watcher's Corpse
Disgusting Jar *
Mysterious Egg *
Zorbin's Ultra-Shrinker
(* indicates that Calendar events will be created for this item)

Demonica, thanks for reporting this. I've hopefully corrected this issue.
Eniac72: the hardcoded duration for Mysterious Eggs and Disgusting Jars is now 6 days and 20 hours as you have discovered. Thanks.
v0.4-beta4 should be syndicating as I type this.

Very silly typo on line 290. :S Fixed now. All should be well. I'm still scratching my head over the Consortium issues. I now have 2 characters I can check eggs and jars now, so this will help development significantly.

Thanks Kaz, it seems I've made a few unwarranted assumptions with the OnReceiveItem code, and I'm guessing you had a Cracked Egg or some other similar item waiting for you when you logged in. This isn't fixed in beta2, but should be in beta3 which will be out later today hopefully.

Thanks again. /hug
Expect at least a Beta soon. My development time has been fairly limited until just recently, and I've always had big plans for this addon. Stay tuned!

Okay, thanks for the error posts. However, in future, I'd really rather you guys stuck to Beta and Release quality files. Alpha is pretty much just me backing up my code. There's not even the slightest guarantee that Alpha code is working, only that I'm going to bed. :)

A new version will be released within a week and it'll address every issue that has been reported.

thefleet: are you sure that the duration is less than 7 days? I've read in a few places that the duration can be reported incorrectly by the game between logins.

The Blizzard duration display is demonstrably inaccurate. However, WowHead tooltips now suggest a duration of 6 days. I'm so confused. If someone can link me patch notes or anything somewhat official to support a shorter duration, I'll make the change immediately. :)

Eniac73, can you confirm that your eggs/jars are finishing a full 4 hours shorter than 7 days?

3.2 is bringing us better tools for getting information from items, and I'm crossing my fingers that some of this mess will be avoided in future.
