Info window
NOTE: most of the info in this page is deprecated: check Dashboard page for updated information.
Note: unlike the other TCC windows, the info window is set to acquire the current application focus when opened, so you'll need to close it or click on (tab to) Tera window to be able to bring Tera in focus again and send input to it.
Vanguard info and dungeons info will be reset at the first TCC opening after daily server reset time and a chat message in the TCC channel will inform you about it.
The new info window features a timeline showing daily events such as: special events, battlegrounds jackpot times, guild bams or custom events. Events are organized in event groups. Each event group has its own line and its events are placed on it. Different event groups are stacked on top of each other:
One or two time markers will scan the timeline as time passes. The white one will display local time, the yellow one will display server time. If the user is in the same timezone as the server, only the white one will be showed.
Events displayed in the timeline can be configured by editing the /resources/config/events/events-[region].xml file and should be relative to server time.
When TCC is started, a new default file will be created if none is found and it will look as the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Events>
<EventGroup name="Example event group">
<Event name="Example Event" days="*" start="12:00" end="15:00" color="ff5566" />
<Event name="Example event 2" days="*" start="16:00" duration="3:00" color="ff5566" />
</EventGroup>
</Events>Events are grouped in an EventGroup. Each EventGroup will have its own line and all the events will be placed on it. More events can be defined using specific attributes:
- name (required): the event name showed when hovering an event bar
-
days (required): day of the week in which the event will be displayed. It must be written in english with initial letter in uppercase (Wednesday, Monday). Multiple days can be specified like:
days="Friday,Saturday"(don't add any space). The value*means that the event will be displayed every day. - start (required): the time (using 24h hh:mm time format) at which the event starts
-
duration: the duration (in hh:mm) of the event. If
duration="0:00", the event will just be displayed as a dot placed on the start time. - end: the time (using 24h hh:mm time format) at which the event ends;
- color: the color of the event bar in RRGGBB hex format (to find hex color values you can simply google 'color picker')
Note: if both duration and end are present, only duration will be used. If none of them is present, the event will have 0 duration, meaning it will just be displayed as a dot placed on the start time.
Note 2: this system may be subject to variations, since there will be way to receive live updates for events (for example to check if a guild bam did spawn or not). This means that the event file could require modifications in order to work properly. If that happens, I'll update this page and warn about it in the release notes.
This section shows all the characters on the current account. The bigger blue circle around the class icon indicates the amount of weekly vanguard quests completed - the number on the right shows the exact amount; the smaller light blue circle indicates the amount of daily quests completed - the number on the left shows the exact amount. The orange bar indicates the current amount of credits and the number below it displays the exact amount. These informations will not be immediately available, but they will be built after logging in the characters and they will be refreshed and saved to the characters.xml file every time you open the vanguard window. The top left blue corner indicates the currently logged in character, while the red top right corner indicates the currently selected character.
When a character is clicked on, its dungeon entries info will be showed in this section. The dungeons' order reflects the actual "stars" a dungeon has in the ingame IM window. The number inside the colored bubble displays the amount of entries available (or the current cleared phase for Harrowhold). Dungeon entries will not be automatically updated on login, but only when pressing P to show ingame profile window or when a dungeon is engaged. Displayed dungeons could be configured by editing the data/dungeons-def.xml, but at the moment this file will be overwritten at each TCC update (I will make it completely configurable later on and it will be moved to the config folder).
Starting with v0.8.3, TCC will automatically check if a guild bam has already spawned. A guild bam spawn time will be automatically uploaded when a TCC user receives the "[Rally] Quest is available for your guild. Bam will appear..." system message. TCC will contact the remote server when the user logs in during the possible spawn timeframe. If the bam already spawned, its event bar will be placed at the correct time (green event in the first line):
For an event to be automatically updated, it must be placed in an event group named "gbam":
Starting with v0.8.9 an event group must have the remote="true" attribute in order to receive updates from server:
<EventGroup name="Any name" remote="true">
...
</EventGroup>The following is an example including guild bams and current caimans event in Tera EU:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Events>
<EventGroup name="Guild BAM" remote="true">
<Event name="Anansha" days="Tuesday,Friday" start="22:00" end="23:00" color="a8e8a7" />
<Event name="Frygaras" days="Wednesday,Sunday" start="19:00" end="23:00" color="a8e8a7" />
<Event name="Sabranak" days="Monday,Thursday" start="13:00" end="23:00" color="a8e8a7" />
</EventGroup>
<EventGroup name="Caimans">
<Event name="Big caiman spawn" days="Sunday,Saturday" start="14:00" duration="0:00" color="ffc43a" />
<Event name="Big caiman spawn" days="Sunday,Saturday" start="16:00" duration="0:00" color="ffc43a" />
<Event name="Big caiman spawn" days="*" start="18:00" duration="0:00" color="ffc43a" />
<Event name="Big caiman spawn" days="*" start="20:00" duration="0:00" color="ffc43a" />
<Event name="Big caiman spawn" days="*" start="22:00" duration="0:00" color="ffc43a" />
</EventGroup>
</Events>Starting with v0.8.9 you'll be able to include periods of time in the event groups definitions:
<EventGroup name="Battleground Jackpots" start="14/08/2017" end="27/08/2017">
<Event name="Corsair's Stronghold" days="Saturday,Sunday" start="14:00" duration="3:00" color="ffc89b"/>
...
</EventGroup>The start and end attribute must include a date in the DD/MM/YYYY format and/or time in HH:mm (24h) format. Date and time can be written in any order as long as they are separated by a space.
Starting with TCC v0.8.7, you'll be able to configure a webhook to send guild bam notification to a Discord channel.
Go to TCC settings > Misc settings > Webhook and insert your webhook link there (guide about how to setup a webhook and get the url here). Click on an empty spot in the Settings window to confirm the input. Since v0.8.8 it's possible to edit the message and test it using the button in the settings window.
Note: TCC doesen't read the target channel's messages, so if multiple users add the same webhook for guild bam notifications, the channel will receive multiple notifications from all those users.
Note 2: this feature is experimental and the way it works may change in the future.
