Hey everyone,
I wanted to share an addon that my friend and I have been refining called DigTracker (v3.2).
If you do a lot of Chocobo Digging and want to keep track of your session speeds, item yields, and skill-up progress without losing your data when logging out or swapping characters, this addon is built for that.
Key Features
Multi-Character Support: Saves individual historical stats for each character (data/<CharacterName>.lua) so alt digging stays completely separate.
Persistent Dig Intervals: Tracks "Digs Since Last Skill" across logouts and zone changes so your streak/interval count never gets wiped mid-way through a skill-up.
Live Speed & HUD Metrics: Real-time display for session digs, success/fail ratios, hourly rates (digs/hr and items/hr), and an interval status (DUE vs Below Avg) based on your historical average.
CSV Logging: Automatically logs timestamped dig attempts, results, items, and skill levels to logs/dig_history.csv for data lovers.
In-Game Commands (//dt or //digtracker)
//dt toggle - Show/hide the HUD overlay
//dt items - Toggle showing session item list on the HUD
//dt lock - Lock/unlock mouse dragging for the HUD position
//dt reset session - Reset session counters and hourly rates
//dt reset persistent - Clear stored lifetime totals and skill intervals for the active character
//dt reset all - Full reset (session + lifetime data)
Download & GitHub Repo
You can grab the code and check out the project here:

Installation
Create a DigTracker folder in your Windower addons directory:
Windower4/addons/DigTracker/
Download DigTracker.lua from the repo and place it inside that folder.
In-game, load it via: //lua load digtracker
Give it a try and let me know if you run into any issues or have feature requests! Happy digging!
