About Multi Raid Alert

{{{

!html

This addon provides you with a movable panel with several sets, each made of 1 to 12 configurable buttons.
Each button can be bind to a string. Once button is pressed, string is sent to the desired destination: channel, raid, guild, say, ctraid, raid_warning, script and slash_cmd (usually raid_warning or /rs)

slash_cmd option accepts almost all slash commands with parameters, but not ALL.
technically, only the ones which handler is stored in the SlashCmdList[] array, practicall ALL addons slashcommands+most of the wow built-in ones (emote commands wont work, but /chatwho will)
very usefull for ctra commands like raitem, raready razone etc. also /chatwho commands are usefull

the script accepts standard lua scripts, but be very carefull bout what you do :)

There can be two sets at a time. Did this to have a standard set of buttons (like pull, assist etc) and another instance-specific set for each dungeon.
The BOTTOM set can be marked as stand-alone, meaning it stays alone in the panel)

each button can be bound to a keyboard button via the wow system panel

usage:

shift_mousewheel on the panel to scroll thru set for BOTTOM set
alt_mousewheel on the panel to scroll thru set for TOP set
right_click on set name to quick select another set (works both on upper and lower set)
(once selection panel is open, you can change sets order dragging buttons with RIGHT mouse button)

pressing the "o" button opens the option set
pressing the two "e" buttons opens the edit for the top and bottom set

in edit window:
clicking on channel button makes it cycle thru all possible channels
(right-clicking makes it cycle backwards)
shift-click on channel button changes the channel for all the macros on the set
spacing refeers to vertical spacing if button is last in the row, else it is horizontal spacing

options are saved per-character, while the command sets are global
you can backup em up (some sets can be really boring to re-write from scratch) saving the file
*World of Warcraft folder*\WTF\Account\*account name*\SavedVariables\MultiRaidAlert.lua

command line options:

/mra toggle
show/toggles panel

/mra reset
resets default sets (warning, deletes ALL customizations)

/mra resetpos
reset window position (in case you cannot see it no more)

todo:
- important: locking frame with cli to prevent user to move it (will also prevent border and options button to popup)
- always showing border when changing frame width
- ordering macros in the set
- need confirmaton when removing a line pressing small "-"

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

I found that the available channels that you can cycle through in the UI does not include Party (I guess since your vision was raid oriented). If you could add Party please I (and I am sure a large audience) could configure their setup for some very specific tasks. i.e. I would like to create a Hunter setup and partying set that would allow me to inform people of events, i.e. "Setting up traps. I will then pull. Tanks take aggro on non-trapped mob when trap is sprung. No-body attack the trapped mob or use AOE.", "Pulling...", "Adds incoming", etc. The same could be said about almost any class and could add some very smooth and streamlined setups and co-ordination. Thanks in advance... :)

Scalable window ? The font and window is pretty small when I have my UI up at the mad resolution I usually play at.

It'd ne nice to have an option just like "Upper/lower set". And being able to link a set to a macro (click on a macro to make it appears).
