A floating target-tracker HUD for Lord of the Rings Online. Pin targets by keybinding during combat and monitor their state — defeat, current target highlight, CC timers — at a glance.
- Pin any target with a configurable keybind; tracked entities persist until manually removed or cleared
- Entity type coloring — players, NPCs, and interactable items each get a distinct background color
- Targeted highlight — the tracker for your currently selected target turns yellow
- Defeat highlight — trackers turn gray when the entity dies; optional auto-remove after a configurable delay
- CC duration timers — shrinking progress bar with countdown for supported crowd-control skills (see below)
- CC warning — bar turns red when time remaining drops below a configurable threshold
- Flexible layout — vertical or horizontal fill, reverse fill order, configurable per-tracker size and spacing
- Sort modes — no sort or alphabetical by name
- Drag handle — reposition the HUD anywhere on screen
| Class | Skill | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Lore-master | Blinding Flash | 30 s |
| Burglar | Riddle | 30 s |
| Hunter | Distracting Shot | 35 s |
| Mariner | Thrum of the Sea | 25 s |
| Lore-master | Sign of Power: Righteousness | 15 s |
Timers are parsed from the combat log (PlayerCombat and Death channels). They trigger on the hit message, so the displayed duration is the base skill duration and does not account for partial resists or diminishing returns.
