Add support for ranked / matchmaking.

The buffer time shown to you in ranked is: how much time can you gain/lose such that -- all else being equal -- you would win/lose the match for your team. That is: if everyone else stays in the same order, what is your impact on the score. In rare cases (like when you're in 1st but your team will still lose) no meaningful buffer time can be shown, and you'll see 99.999 in all red or all green (depending).

Additionally: at the end of each round your points delta to MVP is shown (how far behind MVP you are, or how far ahead you are from the next player). During the match, a secondary buffer time to the MVP player is available.

Bug fix:

  • In TA, if the timer is disabled when the UI is off, the menu would not show reference times. (Which was confusing since they say 'null' even thought a timer would show up when you turned the UI off.)

2.2.0

  • Integrate MLFeed 0.4 update: immediately accounting for player respawns
  • Add no-respawn time to final time (shows final time minus time lost to respawns; more accurate than no-respawn timer)

Thanks to AR_Down for the suggestions and bug reports.

New Feature: Show Vs. Time at Race Start (TA)

New setting enabled by default for Time Attack.

At the start of the race, the buffer timer will show the final time of the reference ghost/times.

This will only show in the first 5 seconds of the race, and only if you are stationary.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix: Timer hidden during alt cam 3 when 'Hide While GPS Active' setting is enabled. (2.1.14)
  • Fix: Secondary timer wouldn't show when reading 0 (before 1st cp).
  • Added warning when the game has so many ghosts loaded that it can cause lag. (2.1.16)

2.1.13

  • Added 'Hide while GPS active?' option. Note that it is also hidden during free-cam due to limitations of the implementation
  • Fix bug re: font size mismatch of final time (default was calculated differently in 2 diff places)

Download 2.1.12

Requires at least Openplanet 1.25.15

Vs. Player

New Feature: set another player's best race times as a reference target. This is not their PB, just their best times set this session.

Final Time

New Feature: Show your final time when you finish a race. Useful if you play with the HUD off. Enabled by default, can be disabled from the quick settings menu.

Default: only when the interface is hidden.

Bug Fixes

  • Ghosts created on a prior maps on a server will be filtered out.
  • Better manage conflicting prioritization choices.
  • PB times in Solo mode now auto-populate correctly.
  • Better organize TA quick settings menu.
  • Big render time improvement in TA.
  • Fix: timer wouldn't used to show if there were 0 ghosts loaded.
  • Fix: duplicate ghosts in menu selection.
  • Fix: crash when selecting 'BestTimeOrPB'.

2.0.5

Requires at least Openplanet 1.25.15

This update adds support for Time Attack and Campaign game modes. As part of this change, this plugin is being renamed from COTD Buffer Time to just Buffer Time.

Although some new features are enabled by default, a new menubar item will let you quickly change relevant settings, or disable buffer time for certain game modes.

All previous settings should be honored.

New Features:

  • MenuBar item for quick settings. It's only visible when Buffer Time is active.
  • New Font (Oswald) that matches the in-game chronometer.
  • Support for Time Attack / Campaign. (Other modes possible on request.)
  • Support for showing Buffer Times vs any loaded ghost. (Note: the ghost only has to be loaded once, and can then be unloaded.)
  • Support for a secondary buffer time (in TA) when two+ buffer times are available. You can choose which is primary.
  • Settings to manage new features, including disabling during COTD qualifier.
  • v2.0.4: Add 'update immediately' option for TA buffer times -- this will tell you the split as soon as you go through a checkpoint (like CP splits usually work)

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix temporarily incorrect times in KO when a player DNFs above the cutoff.
  • 2.0.1: Deduplicate ghosts in menubar item, typos
  • 2.0.2: Fix: don't show a buffer time when the player hasn't set a best time yet (for that setting).
  • 2.0.3: Fix: buffer times for PB ghosts or ghosts with your name wouldn't show under some conditions.
  • 2.0.5: Slight Oswald font tweaks + add licenses for fonts.

1.0.6:

  • fix bug: default font size of 0 1.0.5:
  • Add 'safe' indicator to accompany 'out' indicator (shows +/- 99.999 in green/red). If a green 99.999 shows up then you will never be eliminated provided that you finish.
  • default now shows - when ahead, and + when behind (measures CP delta). Previously it was reversed (measures buffer time).
  • Settings improvements
  • Refactor buffer time calculations to be more flexible
  • Add debug info (toggle in settings) that shows all delta/buffer info for all players
