Suggestion for UI Mod: Rest Tracker

[MasterDinadan]

I'd love to see a MOD that could tell me exactly how much rest I have (bibmod had this functionality, but I didn't like the other features it included). It would also be great if it can tell me what the max amount of rest I can accumulate is, so I know if I'm maxed out already or not and if I need to start using it up.

I just wrote one and submitted it. It's called RestXPtoGo and will be available soon (say tomorrow or in 2 days). It's based on XPtoGo, which displays the remaining XP to level at the end of the XP bar, while my RestXPtoGo, displays the remaining rest bonus XP at the start of the XP bar, nicely complementing each other.

Edit : Get it here...

Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I needed!
However, I would find it even more useful if it would tell me how much of the maximum rest I can get. I often go many days without playing and get lots of rest. It would be helpful to be able to log into my characters and see which ones are maxed out on rest so that I can use it up. If you could add this then it would be everything I ever wanted!

You hit maximum rest after 2 weeks of being logged out in an inn. If you haven't played a character for 2 weeks. You know it is maxed out.

It's not 2 weeks, it's 10 days. Every 8 hours earns you 1 bubble of rest bonus. You can store up to 30 bubbles of rest bonus (=1.5 lvls). That's equal to 10 days.

As far as I am aware, I cannot find a function that can return the max amount of rest bonus that you can accumulate. It used to be the same function that returned the current amount of rest bonus (returns 2 values), but now it only returns 1 value.

Ah, I knew it was 1 bubble every 8 hours. I was told 2 weeks, 2 levels from someone. Ta.

You could work it out though, by determining how much experiance is needed for the next 1.5 levels and then check if the rest exp matches that.

Just take a look at the exp per level formula.

I would like to request an addon that would provide the following functions:

* Alert the player when one of his characters has enough Rest XP saved up to reach the next level.

* Alert the player when one of his characters is maxxed out on Rest XP.

* Show a window with the following information for all characters in the database:
- Character Name
- Character Level
- % Exp Earned for Current Level (0-100%)
- % Rest XP saved up (0-150%)
- Logged out at Inn (Yes/No)
- Alert Status
Note: Information for current character should be calculated instead.

* Ability to Delete stored characters that are no longer relevant.

To accomplish this it should save the following information upon logout of any character:
- Character Name
- Character Level
- Current XP
- Needed XP for Next Level
- Rest XP at Logout
- Logout at Inn (Yes/No) for 5%/8h or 5%/32h
- Time of Logout
- Optionally: Alert Status (to keep track)

Running in the background it should then test every 10-15 minutes (or whatever) to see if it should display an alert using the Current Time and the Rest XP that character should have gained since the Time of Logout.
- Alert1 when Current XP + Calculated Rest XP >= Needed XP
- Alert2 when Calculated Rest XP >= 150% Needed XP or whatever cap is

GypsyMod provides functions for tracking Rest XP for the logged in character. There's also an addon called RestReminder that warns you if you're logging outside an Inn. With the data stored, Rest XP status could be calculated at any time and without switching characters.

Personally I think this addon would greatly help me and I'm sure there are other people who would appreciate this.

Thanks in advance =)
