Status Timer

I looked on this forum and the windower forum and couldnt find an answer, so heres my question:

Is it possible to make it so the numbers for StatusTimer are not always on top? When i have 3 rows of effects on in abyssea, i cant see ***in menus. so is there a way to make it so the numbers are under the menus?

In game, test out where you want to put it vertically by doing //statustimer setposy number

When you find a height you want, add to the init file after the plugins:

statustimer setposy whatever_number_you_chose

yea i did that. but its still on top of the windows, and with 3 rows of buffs, its bound to block something. so i want it to be under the menus. is that possible?

Edit: By menus i mean like friends list and search. when i bring up friends list its almost unreadable because its being blocked by timers

Turn up your FFXI resolution :p

so theres no way to make it stay under, got it

Oooooh you mean the z-index.

Hmm, dunno if it can be charged.

I had the same issue, so doing a bit of research i found you can control the colour and transparency of the text using

statustimer setcolor r g b a       (for the text, using 0-255 as values)
statustimer setbgcolor r g b a    (for the background)
statustimer sethlcolor r g b a     (for the "im about to wear off" color)

(e.g statustimer setcolor 255 255 255 127 for white text with 50% transparency

I was playing around with different transparencies and by the time I found one that let me read my combat skills decently, it was too faint to read while playing normally (Didn't dare test it during the day in valkurm)

In the end, I'd say it would probably be better binding a key as already mentioned, but could do something like bind it to a script that sets the transparency to 0 with a /wait of 10 or 20 seconds, to let you read what you need to read, and then set it back to 255 afterwards.

By altering the transparency instead of loading/unloading, it'll maintain the current timers^^

whats the staustime number for dnc steps ? cant remember anymore
