  [SIZE="5"]Summary[/SIZE]
  ClassicTimer, which got its name from NaoTimer, is a small standalone program designed to remind you of what's happening in Erinn. It started as a small project of mine intended only for Guild Officers. Since losing my Human to the dreaded Black Robe I began using it as a programming exercise with the Guild-only section cut out, and expanded it into its current form.

  [SIZE="5"]Features[/SIZE]
  ClassicTimer is a small, simple window which displays the schedule for Moon Gates and Price Locations. In addition to these handy lists, small pop-ups accompanied by short sound effects can be displayed in the corners of your monitor to remind you of several other happenings : including...
  

  • Moon Gate Status (4:40 / 16:40 Erinn)
    
  • Price Location (23:20 Erinn)
    
  • Church PTJ Deadlines (16:00 / 20:00 Erinn)
    
  • Transformation Reminder (5:20 Erinn)
    
  • Commerce Restock Reminder (x2:00 Hour)
    
  • Auction Reminder (4:50PM)
    
  • Jousting Competition Reminder (6:45PM)
    
  • Royal Banquet Reminder (6:50PM)
    
  • Fashion Contest Reminder (7:45PM / 8:45PM)
    
  • Guild War Reminder (7:50PM)
    
  • Tara Donation Reminder (11:40PM)
    
  • RA Application Reminder (11:40PM)
    
  • Advancement Dan Test Reminder (4:45PM / 8:15PM)

  
  Each Popup lasts for 2 Minutes, or until replaced by a new Popup.

  [SIZE="5"]Details[/SIZE]
  As a Standalone program, ClassicTimer does not need Mabinogi or an Internet Connection to run. However, this also means it is susceptible to desynchronization between the local system time and actual server time. Alarms will usually be up to +/- 40 Erinn minutes off of the scheduled time for systems with a decently accurate clock. In essence, it is a basic alarm clock with all the extra fluff left behind.
  
  [SIZE="4"]Bug Tracker[/SIZE]
  While the core functionality has been checked to work, as an untested release there are still some outstanding bugs. The main notable problem being incompatibility for "Erinn Events" with any time zones currently on a different date (basically meaning midnight falls in between your Local Time and Pacific Time). Nevertheless, the Timer should be able to work without any critical errors.
  [S]Many of the Alarm times, however, have not been tested / may only display in the top left[/S]
  Likewise, the Custom Tab has not been implemented.

  [SIZE="5"]Download[/SIZE]
  As any artist/designer knows, the greatest enjoyment comes from sharing their creation with others. As such, I have decided to release what I currently have working in hopes that people can use and benefit from it. If it becomes popular enough I may continue to develop it further to resolve bugs and/or add any additional requests I receive.
  
  To use, simply extract all of the files into any location and run the .exe
  
  03/11 : ClassicTimer Beta 2 (Update only)
  03/06 : ClassicTimer Beta (Full Download)
  
  And with that, Happy Mabi-ing.

  Suggestion: Click X to minimize into system tray? I have a habit of clicking that and it keeps closing the program
  
  And an option to turn the alerts off when they pop up? or allow people to adjust how long they stay up

  I believe he's working on it being able to minimize. Also, a few bugs being cleaned up here and there.

  I have already addressed some of the issues and suggestions, but am waiting until after Daylight Savings Time on sunday to see if it throws the calibration off.
  
  

  • Window Properties : All Close buttons changed to Minimize, Minimize button changed to minimize to System Tray
    
  • 'Erinn Event' : Alert corner position fixed, No alert option fixed, RA Alert time fixed to Friday
    
  • 'Right Click on Tray' menu added : Restore Window, Clear Current Alert, Actual Close Program

  Timers survived the maintenance (with a minor offset), so it'll continue working.
  
  Optional update : includes the above mentioned bug fixes along with the addition of Ascon's Lighthouse PTJ.
  Classic Timer Beta 2
  Download does not have the Sound Files required to run, so it must be placed in the same folder as the original.
  
  
  Very lazily working on timezone compatibility, so I'll continue taking feedback/bug notices for now.
