BrokeWatch

A Windower 4 addon for Final Fantasy XI that tracks your gil spent while utilizing the Hoxne Ampulla enchantment.

Features

• 📈 Dynamic Visibility: The HUD automatically pops up on your screen when you equip the Hoxne Ampulla, and hides itself as soon as you unequip it to keep your UI clutter-free.
• 🔊 Arcade Audio & Text Milestones:
  • Plays register chime sound effects and displays floating milestone flairs when crossing key session milestones (10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, etc.).
  • Milestone sounds scale dynamically in length and bell count as the milestones grow.
  • A dramatic Windows tada.wav fanfare triggers when you cross all-time million-gil milestones.
• ⏱️ Rolling Loss Window: Displays your rolling expenditure over the last 15 minutes (or any custom duration defined in user_settings.recent_interval). Updates dynamically during combat.
• 🌙 OLED Burn-in Protection (Auto-Dimming & Muted Colors):
  • Auto-Dimming: Fades the HUD opacity smoothly to 30% (alpha 80) after 3 minutes of idle time (no combat, gear changes, or command inputs).
  • Instant Wake-up: Wakes up immediately back to 100% opacity (alpha 255) upon any gil loss, equipment change, or command execution.
  • Pastel Color Palette: Uses lower-luminance pastel colors (Goldenrod, Coral Red, Sage Green, and Slate Red) to reduce screen stress on OLED monitors/TVs.
• ⚙️ Modular Configuration (user_settings.lua): All fonts, color palettes (RGB tags), milestone values, sound files, and alert texts are completely decoupled into a clean user_settings.lua configuration profile. Users can customize their entire HUD experience without touching any of the core script logic!
