[SUGGESTION] Buffs and buff timers about kanan-new HOT 7 OPEN

I wonder whether remaining duration is stored anywhere. I suppose if it's not there's always the option of storing the start time and total duration (I'm guessing that's stored? Otherwise it could be looked up in a table based on skill+rank) and calculating it from that.

@pinkestt I don't believe it's stored anywhere, but you can do it in a way with a config file set to that person's specific buff duration and simply note start time instead. That's the easiest way to accomplish it, and what the Chinese mod called Tin does.

Calculating based on skill rank won't work because their is a lot of enchant modifiers and reforges that extend buff duration.

There are some buffs (Again, Soul Link) you can check the remaining duration of in the character window if you hover over the icon, so surely those are stored somewhere at the very least.

Cursey was nice enough to add a barebones packet listener branch, which means you just need to start up mabi using morrighan.

So with a little effort you could listen for the buff packets to start timers and stuff. I started on it a couple months ago, but got distracted adding in a graphics lib to draw skill icons in the status UI. Then work got busy and I haven't messed with it since.

Yeah that would probably be the easiest way to implement this. There are some components included in the player entity that might have the information for buffs but reversing them is time consuming and the structures do change fairly often.

Could we include this https://github.com/cursey/kanan-new/tree/alissa-listener in the latest version of kanan-new ?

I don't see why not. It doesn't really do anything yet though which is why I haven't merged it yet.
