View Full Version : A simple instance timer.

A simple timer, you click and the time starts, maybe with some history.

The idea:
I have sometimes wanted to know exactly how long an instance usually take, so when I enter the instance I can start the timer. And a history function, that will tell me after, let say 10-100 runs the average time in the instance.

Like; Sunken Temple took 2 hours 34 minutes this run.
Average run time in Sunken Temple: 2 hours 2 minutes.

Now I have looked and haven't found anything like this, anyone know of such an addon or perhaps someone could make it, since I can't really code much, I can't. ;)

I do not know if an ingame AddOn that does this, however a stopwatch and a Excel spreadsheet work nicely too.

But... that would mean doing things OUTSIDE of WoW??

O NOES !!

Through one of my other postings I found out that there is a stopwatch out here, CT_Timer http://www.ctmod.net/downloads.ct?a=download&m=CT_Timer

Using this one could take the time of your instance runs.
But I was hoping that perhaps someone with some coding skills could perhaps put together a small addon that shows a list with the instances, where you can put in your latest time, and each time you put in a new time it calculates the average time and displays it.

Perhaps something like this:
______________________________________________
The Input TaB:

Maraudon [This would be where you put in your time]

Zul'Farrak [This would be where you put in your time]
______________________________________________
And so on.

With each time you put in it calculates the average time using the previous times you have put in.
_______________________________________________
The Display Tab:

Maraudon - Average Time: 1 hour 42 minutes.

Zul'Farrak - Average Time: 1 hour 3 minutes.
_______________________________________________


Now of course I would love to be able to code this myself, and I've tried but guess I just don't have what it takes, so again I'm hoping a coder out there will like this idea and perhaps make it into an addon. ;)
