Introducing the Live Field Boss Timer!

• SKochiya wrote on 2013-07-05 23:40
  Greetings all, today I bring you a nifty tool created by none other than my friend and skilled programmer:
  Hanae Isano Narahashi, also known as Yai, for short.
  
  I present you a field boss timer that actually counts down to the possible times they might spawn!
  
  Mabinogi Boss Timer by Hanae Isano Narahashi
  
  Well it is incredibly self-explanatory.
  A white box like this shows you that the spawn chance is inactive and how long it takes until it becomes active again:

  A yellow box indicates that the spawn time is active and that the field boss as a chance of spawning, as well as how long it takes for the chance to go away:

  Notes:
  
  Times might be slightly off, however, this is because of issues beyond the control of players.
  Monster might spawn slightly, or even greatly outside of their expected spawn frames, although this usually only happens to one or two channels, at most.
  
  There might be times that a field boss does not spawn at all, nothing to be done about that, always make sure to periodically check different channels to see if it's there.
  
  Update #1: a Technical problem has a occured, please be patient as this is being dealt with. [05:16 PM]
  Update #2: The issue has been resolved, thank you for your patience. [06:37 PM]

  Haven't tested this but that's awesome, wish I could rep him.

  Bear in mind this is still a work in progress. If it glitches over the week it is because I haven't been able to test it all.

  Holy fuck this is good. Will bookmark, thanks!
  
  Maybe if more people know when it spam , we can actually kill it in time before it despawn.

  Yai is a hero to the crowd.
  
  Good work.
  
  However, do you mind if we mess with the source a bit?
• Yai wrote on 2013-07-06 03:37
  Mess with it how exactly? I don't really like people editing my code unless there is a good reason for it since I could probably implement things anyway if people had problems.

  Turn it into an android app with the listed time
  
  As well as give reminders about it spawning soon.
  
  Another thing that can be created is turn the code into a 3rd party program that can run alongside Mabinogi like 3ML3 that can sync it with the time code and do flashing reminders or custom reminders as well.

  So does this include the smaller field bosses? Say Gold Kiwis?

  No, those field bosses have no fixed spawn times and are therefore not as easy to determine.
  (Didn't I answer this before?)

  Ah, forget what I just said. It'll be too cumbersome to work with something that can occur randomly.
  
  Good work still =)

  Well either way, those ideas are pretty good. If people had actual interest in that kind of thing I imagine it would be useful.

  Oh this is neat.
  
  
  It looks to be very helpful, thank you very much.

  This is excellent, thanks a lot!
  
  I've been using the google doc, but differences in timezones and all that make it tedious. This is much clearer.

  The timer is weird.
  
  It'l get down to 24/23/22 hours and then say that the field boss is spawning. Is this normal, since they spawn once/twice a day?
