Mine is US client, English language, and the standard is "2m 30s" as well. I had to take SS of every mission init timer to replace the default ones. Every mission works perfect once i did that.*
I found this method to fix the start search works for me best :*
**Note: i use Windows 7 , MSPaint. Other programs will work differently.
**NOTE2: make backups of the default pictures before saving the new pictures you make.
Figure out which picture is the init picture (most missions have 2-3 images). printscreen when your in-game hits the timer you need (example: space_nez_10 , when it is SUPPOSED to start the bot at (4m?) 10s, hit printscreen, it will clipboard/save the picture)
By default, swtor saves a screenshot with the printscreen button. by default, this is saved in the "x:\Users\%username%\Documents\Star Wars - The Old Republic\Screenshots" directory.*
--
*Opening reference image*
Open ms paint -*
browse to *bot location*\pictures directory and find the picture you want to replace (example, space_nez_10.png).*
It looks like a tiny rectangle right? on the bottom right corner of paint, by default, there is a magnifying glass and a slider - slide it to MAX (800%)
You can see the rulers on the top/left that show the image is 10 pixels tall by 15 pixels wide.
--
*Making new timer init pic*
Now open another copy of paint, OPEN, browse to "x:\Users\%username%\Documents\Star Wars - The Old Republic\Screenshots" and open the SS you took of the proper init time. (or just CTRL-V/paste if you printscreened to clipboard)
Take the magnifying glass/zoom and slide it to max again
scroll the picture to the top right
use the SELECT tool, and CROP the (10s) out.*
fix the size to be 15x10 and the left/top matches up with the reference image. (the right side should have part of the seconds graphic at the 15pixel range)
Save the picture as the name of the reference image
--
*Testing the mission*
Test the mission.
--
I had to do this for every mission, they were all hit or miss with ANY tolerance. most missions are now 90% or better completion... My highest bot'd character is only ~30 though, so i've only been able to confirm up through the lvl28 missions. and my characters are all empire.
** Note : If this isn't helpful, go ahead and disregard. If someone wants to clean up the format / add pictures of the steps / whatever, feel free.
