Might be limited to UIColors so may need a separate picker.

Would you like to be able to open the context menu from the blacklist and add the target player to "PlayerTrack"?
I couldn't add the BL person to "PlayerTrack" unless I met him in the content or saw him again in the city, so it would be very helpful if possible.

When a character is no longer available - resulting in their entry stating "(Unable to Retrieve)" - the context menu has no PlayerTrack option. Considering these entries still receive relevant tagging such as Friend Group markings, I was hopeful PlayerTrack could still function with these them. I would appreciate being able to check these against information I've kept in PlayerTrack.

If there are concerns with allowing this, I am curious to hear those reasons.

Need to figure out how to get this though.

mbdavid/LiteDB#1940

Two separate characters with lodestone IDs 33789659 and 42973315 are being recognised as one character by PlayerTrack, and keep overwriting each other (... changed their name from ...)

These are features I'd like to add eventually if possible. I'd be happy to take PRs if someone is interested on working on any of these.

• Sync with Friends List
• Sync with Blacklist

Any duty using a - character in the name results in ???? being displayed in the location field. Example below with Tam-Tara Hard.

Can I suggest to be able to do "new encounters" for players that has tag/description written in instead of always/content only/highend only/never

Doesn't happen consistently...not sure why yet.

a setting that automatically removes people that are only in the default category and haven't been seen in more than a certain time, like 2 weeks or so.. cause that list is getting loooong for me. ideally I could pick which categories to cull even.

Sync category with free company members so you don't need to manually add/remove.

Features that I'd like to complete before officially releasing to master.

• Add characters manually
• Alerts
• More Content Filters (e.g. Ex Trials)
• Mark Favorites
• Confirmation popups for resetting/deleting
• Hide overlay when loading game

My player list is flooded with a ton of names. I'd like to wipe it clean and start over. I don't know how to do this though!

I know this was previously a feature, being able to search for a player by name and homeworld, but I can't find any such ability now. I have a friend on my list who changed their name but hasn't been picked up by the lodestone change detection (does it only apply when I encounter them and the plugin tries to track them?) and I'd like to manually remove the old entry and add their new name.

Hi there! I've been getting some weird data in my PlayerTrack list. You can see here:

When I click on these, the plugin gets very sad and almost always crashes shortly after. I can't remove them via rightclick -> delete.

Whatever's caused this should be investigated, and ideally with some way to remove the data form those who have been affected.

Add searchable free-text tags to players.

I love the feature to override the ingame titles with custom stuff, but it only works when the regular ingame titles are visible. I don't care to see these game titles though as they are just meaningless bloat to me. Also, currently you can either have custom&category title override, or neither.

Would it be possible to give us more granular control over the titles? I'd imagine:

• In the category tab, split up the "Enable nameplate titles" into "Override Nameplate Title with Category Name" and "Override Nameplate Title with Custom Title", with the latter obviously having higher priority if both are set.
• add a new option (either globally in the nameplate settings or as another column in the category settings) to hide regular ingame titles on the nameplate if they have one and neither the category or custom override is set.

Thanks for all your great work!

When selecting the lodestone language, can you please put "de" in the selection as well? Thanks

Putting these here for now so I don't forget.

• have a setting to lock the playertracker window
• If you enable the overlay in settings, close the overlay with the 'x' button, you need to DISABLE the overlay to turn it back on.
• String buffer out of memory error
• Improve dispose
• force a save / window reopen after using reset
• changing category color by color palette doesn't update existing players until restart
• Manually added users are never verified until you restart the game
• Add version upgrade backups
• would love an option to set a default view when you load up. Would love for mine to be set to 'Favorites' when I load it up.

Can't reproduce

• Bozja NPCs in all players list
• player track doesn't seem to be displaying anyone in recent players list (likely clearing after instances)
• Encounter time and maybe other fields aren't always updated properly until you restart the game

Cannot get PlayerTrack to work, upon installing the following is output into Dalamud log:

The chat commands do not work and there is not cog button on the plugin listing. Tried enabling and disabling, no difference.

All other plugins (10+) I've tested work without issues.

In the player list context menu, you can target/focus/examine a player if in range, open their lodestone page in your browser, change their category, and remove their entry. Can an option be added to force the plugin to retrieve their data from the lodestone to check for name or homeworld changes as well? Maybe even a way to bulk-update all players in a category, at least for non-default categories?

Context Menus are removed for now as they broke with the patch. I hope to add them again.

These include the menu items that show when you right clicked on a player:

• Add/Show Info
• Open Lodestone
• Set Category

I've been using this plugin for quite some time now; 453 days according to the oldest encounter entry I have. With considerable usage since then, the size of the pluginConfigs folder ballooned to 3.25 GB, which seems to be causing issues in the game itself. The plugin frequently causes the game to freeze for up to two seconds, and whenever a player with a large amount of stored encounters changes their information (name/homeworld), the game freezes for up to 10 seconds

Add option to show current player total.

These settings will crash the game if you try to click "Assign Friend Group" on a friend in the friends list. I haven't tested any other configuration. Works fine without setting the context menu items position though.

Saw duplicate encounters in a 24man but not consistently happening. Might've been actors re-spawned and were far enough way?

Currently, the only options for automatic Processing is within certain duty types or "Always," the latter being far more detrimental than beneficial as any player in range is stored and the database can quickly grow out of control.

I propose a checkbox for Always mode which isolates tracked players to Friends, Party Members, Free Company Members, Linkshell Members, Cross World Linkshell Members, and so on. This would avoid rapid, unending growth and only automatically add users who are likely to have relevancy to the user.

My reason for this request is that I would benefit from having PlayerTrack remind me of my most recent encounters with users on my friends list, as a way of determining who to clear from it. However, this is only tracked if I enter a duty with them, which - with the large amount of casual friends - is uncommon for me.

Copy backups to user specified directory outside of pluginConfigs / app data.

I would be great if typeahead for inputting in existing tags when inputting tags for each character.

Which can work along side two things.
Search by Tag will be easier if it also included a typeahead.
Have a page dump of all your tags.

Is it possible to add Voice type to the appearance tab?

See title.

Currently the Dalamud plugin installer listing for this plugin features no settings button and the descriptions in both the plugin listing and here on GitHub list no chat commands. No window pops up on install either. Frankly, I have no clue on how to operate this plugin and I can't be the only one?

The Japanese Lodestone Locale should be "jp" not "ja".

For example, "https://ja.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/12345678"
should be changed to "https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/12345678"

Some strings right now like main drop down list are not localized. Would probably need to convert them off simple enums.

I've noticed it mostly with dropdowns and the Search feature - here's what it looks like at 1.15.

You can see the dropdown's arrow is beginning to get cut off. Here's the UI at 1.4.

The dropdown arrow is gone, and the Search button is close to being inaccessible. At 1.6 it is inaccessible.

This should be a simple matter of adjusting UI element positioning constraints.

A Feature for players who left both options on "Always"

it has cluttered up the selection, especially after a world transfer it might be worth deleting for example everyone without a note / tags or all members of a category.

Something like a refresh button for current players section would be really helpful, please.
For example, when someone teleports away it doesn't refresh and you need to use the drop-down to something like recent players and back to current players for it to refresh manually.

I have enabled the alerts with notes, but in the alert the location is the last thing instead of the note.

Plugin version: v1.1.66

For example:
[PlayerTrack] Playername last seen 1d ago: The Tower at Paradigm's Breach

The "Pat Me" plugin exist. I think it would be great to have a counter for the linked character.
Or maybe have it be built in.

Right now that only counts but doesn't seem to keep a record on who did and how many times by that individual.

I dunno if PlayerTrack already has a feature like this, but I would like to see the ability to use different settings/categories set for when you are on different characters (like one category for friends of one RP character, another category for friends of an alt RP character, etc)

Though something like this would probably require multiple categories set to one player too...

Add alert option for someone when they join your party.

Click player detail and "Lodestone" link.
But URL is not found.

(NG) https://ja.finalfantasyxiv.com/
(OK) https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/

Add a stats page (total players, ratio of cat girls).... let me know if there's any fun stats you'd like to see.

If you are set to Current Players...sometimes players in categories will not be removed when they leave. If you switch to another filter and back, they are removed. This doesn't seem to happen consistently so not sure why yet.
