Buff Timers for OpenMW overview
Lua scripts that puts buff and debuffs onto the screen. This is a BETA release - so there may be some strange quirks or bugs - please report if you encounter any.
Requires OpenMW Development build 0.49 or later.
Fixed a bug in v0.0.11 that prevented script from loading.

note: It should work in 0.48, however does not as this time since it requires some additional code to be added for backwards compatibility.

DESCRIPTION
There are 2 separate icon windows one for buffs and one for debuffs that can be user configured to limit the total buffs, how many buffs per row, size, and font colors.
Each buff window can be re-positioned to anywhere on the HUD by just clicking and dragging the window box. Set the display box setting to 'Yes' to see the buff box space, while you have no buffs or debuffs present

The buff box positions can be saved by pressing the '=' key. If you need to reset their positions to the default press '-'.

The buff icons have tooltip mouseover support as well.

Note: It is currently configured to only show effects that have durations.
