What is it?

FuBar_AlarmClockFu is a simple alarm clock for FuBar users. The addon currently includes a 12 / 24 hour clock and three alarms (which trigger a basic message box when it is activated).

Please, if you have any feature requests, use the ticket system. If the feature is within the scope of the project, I'll gladly try my best to implement it.

AlarmClockFu is now hosted at wowace.com. The most recent version of the addon may be obtained through WowAceUpdater, although be aware that even though I try to only commit working code, some bugs may show up.

Options

Options include 12 / 24 hour display, local / server time display (or both), and configuration of three alarms. All three alarms are set via the drop-down menu.

Each of the three alarms can have a custom message displayed when they go off.

Roadmap

Feature requests will be a top priority over the features described below.

Version 1.1.0

  • Looking for user feedback
  • Fix bugs created in implementation of the alarm tooltips
  • Fix countdown bug
  • Implement a snooze feature

  • Hi wanthony,

    how about adding the option to set a countdown. Sometimes I want an alarm in 45 minutes for example but I am too lazy to look at the current time and then calculate the time of the alarm :)

    That would be a great feature!

  • Any thought on hosting this over at wowace.com? It would be super if updates were accessible through WAU. :)

  • I installed version 0.5.1 and it display well in the fubar bar. I configured an alarm and waited the good time and nothing happend. So I check the source code and I found that you use:

    function AlarmClockFu:AlarmClockTrigger() _ERRORMESSAGE(AlarmClockFu.db.profile.alarmmsg) end

    But since the patch 2.1, the function _ERRORMESSAGE will not display anything except for the developer who enable the debug mode ....

    More info on the patch release here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=94299464&sid=1 And here: http://www.wowwiki.com/API_ERRORMESSAGE

    So I replaced the function by: function AlarmClockFu:AlarmClockTrigger() PlaySound("ReadyCheck"); SendChatMessage(AlarmClockFu.db.profile.alarmmsg); end

    And it works fine. This is a small workaround, the good solution is to create a frame with a OK button.

  • I wonder if you could write AlarmClockFu to check local time at the computer rather than do a raw calculation of server time vs. offset. The game server (Eonar EU) seems to be about 50 seconds slow. Currently, I use MiniClockFu and it grabs the local time from my computer. I really like that I have accurate time ingame but would also like an alarm option. Actually, if you could just add your alarm options to MiniClockFu, I'd be in heaven. ;)

    Edit: Been playing with this today and I have to say I love it! Two things that would make it super for me: 1. Option to play a sound with alarm. 2. Host it at wowace.com so it's available from WAU.

    Great addOn. Thanks! :)

    Are you sure that the alarm is enabled? See if "Enable Alarm" is checked for the alarm you intend to use. Also, make sure you are entering the hour in 24 hour format (this is an issue that I have yet to resolve).

    Everything works fine on my side, and I have not made any changes to the code since the previous release.

    I found the problem. After updating to the latest version of FuBar and reenabling my old saved varieables file (I had a current version just updated to the beta file posted on WoWAce today) it finally spit out an error.

    After doing some digging I found the problem. The FuBarPlugin-2.0.lua file was a folder down in the addon library and therefore not loading (i.e. it was in Libs\FuBarPlugin-2.0\FuBarPlugin-2.0 not Libs\FuBarPlugin-2.0). I moved it to the root of the FuBarPlugin-2.0 folder and it's running like a champ now. You might want to update your zip fie with the lua file in the appropriate place.

    Thanks for your speedy responses and help! Great Addon! Cheers!

    Well, I'm completely at a loss.

    I downloaded the new (0.5.1) version. I deleted my AlarmClcokFu saved variables again, renamed the FuBar saved variables file and AlarmClockFu still does not appear in the FuBar Menu.

    I even went so far as disabling all my other FuBar addons and AlarmClcokFu still doesn't appear (I have a screenshot if this helps).

    I can only assume that it's either an incompatibility with another addon. Perhaps a conflict within the libraries (FuBar Plugin, or other Ace2 files)? It's of note that if the FuBar plugins load alphabetically AlarmClockFU would be the first one to load so if there's an issue with core libraries they wouldn't be preloaded from another source.

    Hmm... I've updated the TOC file for AlarmClockFu in 0.5.1, but I don't think that will solve your problem (it's worth a try though).

    Maybe you could try renaming your FuBar saved variables to see if that is the cause. If so, I'm afraid the solution might require you to delete it and restart WoW.

    The Addon is indeed enabled. "Load out of date addon"s is checked, and it does not show up in the list of FuBar plugins (in the fubar menu).

    I could delete my FuBar saved variables file but I hesitate to do so since I'd have to set up all of my bars again. My other plugins seem fine (MoneyFu, MailFu, SWstatsFu, BongosFu, ItemRackFU, as well as the built in plugins for AGuf, eepanels, and Grid).

    I'm not sure why AlarmClock fu isn't showing up in the FuBar Menu. Any other thoughts?

    Is the AlarmClockFu plugin not showing up at all in the list of FuBar modules? Make sure the AddOn is not disabled for some reason (within FuBar).

    Also, on the character select screen, click on the AddOns button, and see if "Load out of date AddOns" is selected. If not, try to change that and see if it helps.

    I've updated FuBar and all of my Addons for 2.1.

    However, AlarmclockFu is not showing up in my FuBAr (all other FuBar plugins seem to be working correctly). I've deleted the saved variables for AlarmclockFu but that doesn't seem to have resolved anything. Any ideas?

    Thanks for reporting that bug - should be fixed now. The date is now displayed as suggested, at the top of the tooltip. I just have to make a few more changes to the Alarm 2 code (it's not triggering as I expected it to). I apologize for the problems with the second alarm.

    I will release a new version after adding in the option to make alarms non-recurring. This should be complete by the middle of the week at the latest.

  • There is a bug with the second alarm:

    please correct: function AlarmClockFu:SetAlarm2Hour(hour)

     self.db.profile.alarmhr_2 = hour 

    end

    to function AlarmClockFu:SetAlarm2Hour(hour)

     self.db.profile.alarmhr_2 = tonumber(hour) 

    end

    and correct: function AlarmClockFu:SetAlarm2Minute(min)

     self.db.profile.alarmmin_2 = min 

    end

    to function AlarmClockFu:SetAlarm2Minute(min)

     self.db.profile.alarmmin_2 = tonumber(min) 

    end

    and maybe you can add a line to the tooltip which displays the date:

    tablet:AddCategory():AddLine(

     'text', date("%A, %B %d, %Y"), 'textR', 1, 'textG', 1, 'textB', 1, 'justify', "CENTER" 

    ) (borrowed from ClockFu)

    I apologize for the delay in posting the latest version. I just kept putting off the release because of school work and other things.

    The current release has two alarms, each with their own settings, and they can both now have a custom message displayed when they activate.

    I actually thought of that yesterday, and will be implementing it in the next update.

    Thanks for your input.

  • Hi,

    what about an option to add a short message to the alarm... like "Go to work!" ;-)

    Glad to hear somebody appreciates this addon :)

    I'm working on the next version now, should have it done within the next day or so. I'm going to have some more display options, as well as at least 2 more alarms (I think AlarmClockWrangler has 3, so I'll try to match that, at the least) :)
