About Simple Raid Target Icons

Displays a radial menu when the player Ctrl+LeftClicks on a unit to quickly set that unit's raid target icon.

Usage: Hold down the Ctrl key and left click on a unit. A radial menu will show with the 8 raid target icons. Simply select an icon to apply it. If the unit already has an icon, a "no" symbol will be shown in it's place, clicking on that symbol or right clicking anywhere on the radial menu will remove the raid target icon from that unit.

Concept originally by Qzot http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.php?uid=19207

New features for 1.0
- 5 man party leaders can "promote" other members in the party to "SRTI Assistant" allowing them to use icons!
- Promoted players are saved so every time you are the party leader they're automatically made SRTI Assistants
- Configurable modifier key(s) for single click method to show radial menu
- Configurable double click speed for double click method to show radial menu
- Keybinding method to show radial menu!
- Keybindings for applying any icon to target w/o the radial menu
- Options menu
- Test area to see the effect of the settings
- Console commands /srti

Possible upcoming features
- UI for management of "promoted" players, see who has been promoted, remove or add players when not partied with them
- Hooks to the SetRaidTarget function to let any raid icon addon work as a "SRTI Assistant"
- Keybindings for applying any icon to mouseover w/o the radial menu
- Temporary keybindings that only work when the radial menu is visible Example: Ctrl+S shows the menu. Q, W, E, A, D, Z, X, C keys select an icon, S removes the icon, Ctrl+S cancels.

Q&A Q: How do you promote people in the party?
A: As the party leader, right click on the party member's unit frame you wish to promote or demote and go to the "Raid Target Icons" menu. At the bottom of the menu is an option to promote or demote that player.

Q: How can I tell if I've been promoted? <be>A: Right click on your own character's unit frame. At the bottom of the menu will either be "SRTI Assistant", "SRTI Not Promoted", or "SRTI Disabled". The last option means the party leader does not have SimpleRaidTargetIcons installed.

Q: Why include keybindings for raid icons this when so many other addons already have them?
A: It's true many other addons include keybindings for raid icons, SRTI lets you use them in a 5 man party when you're not the leader (assuming the party leader is using the addon as well). In the future I may make it so any raid icon addon will work with this 5 man promoted feature.

Q: Why can't you promote people in a raid?
A: The concept of "promotion" already exists in raids so it seemed like an unneeded feature. However, if enough people ask for it, it wouldn't be difficult to include.

Q: What is "Select Icon on Hover"?
A: When the radial menu is shown, you can select an icon by moving your cursor over the icon instead of clicking on it. This can be toggled individually for the three methods for showing the radial menu, as well as a global setting for how long the cursor needs to stay over an icon for it to be selected.

Q: What's the "Test Me" in the options?
A: You can click there to see what effect the options have on the radial menu, and set a virtual raid icon on yourself. The keybinding method also affects the "Test Me" when the options are open.

Q: Why doesn't your addon show a list of the icons on the screen?
A: I wrote this addon because I didn't like those UIs. They took up valuable screen space for an infrequently used tool. I also found the separation of the target and the icons themselves to slow down the whole process.

Q: Can you add something that will let me target an enemy that already has an icon?
A: No, the short answer is Blizzard disabled the ability for addon to do this. There are addons that used to do this, and addons that fake similar features for raid/party members, but it is not actually possible for raid icons unless Blizzard adds it themselves.

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.

A common request for various mods. But that functionality has not been possible in non-unit frame mods since WoW patch 2.0 (released Dec. 2006).

The only mods with which you can click-target something are unit frame replacement mods like PitBull, Xperl and so on. Not a mod like this.

Has this mod been updated for 2.2? I love it, but it's not currently working for me. I can use the config menu from the command line, but double-clicking or key-clicking doesn't bring up my radial menu any more.

If no one else is experiencing this problem, let me know and I'll dig deeper into my UI.

Sooo sweet! It works perfect now, and messing with the settings (/srti for menu) I have it on double left click to bring up the menu, then select on hover, so assigning an icon is as easy as double-clicking my mouse and pointing to the icon I want. This is a very nice addon and I will recommend it to all my party/raid leader friends. Thank you much!

Removing a mark from the target using the radial menu should be fixed in 1.02. I also made some changes to the "Promoted" "Not Promoted" to try to reduce the spam.

What's the error, and how are you trying to remove the target?
Are you selecting the remove icon, right clicking, or trying to use a macro / keybinding?

I am receiving the same error as well. It occurs when I R-click the 'no' symbol, or anywhere on the radial as recommended above. I too have to R-click the character portrait and remove the icon the 'old-fashioned way'. Changing icons isn't a problem though, and if this is the only flaw, I still love the addon as it's super quick to assign your icons. But, if you can fix this small bug, I would love it even more! If you need a copy of the error and a screenshot, let me know, and I can post 'em or email them to you (they're on my home computer atm, so I don't have them right now).

In the next release of this addon there'll be a couple of new features.
In Party / Raid "SRTI Assistants" - Anyone who has been "promoted" may assign raid icons either via the radial menu or using a "SRTI Assistant" dropdown menu that replaces the "Raid Target Icon" menu.
Real options menu - You'll be able to setup what modifier key(s) to use for the "single click" popup. You can set how fast you need to double click. You can set for both method if you want the icon to be selected when your cursor passes over an icon or not.
Console commands - you can set an icon on your current target with a slash command. /srti 1 /srti yellow /srti star These all set the yellow star on your target.
Keybinding for radial menu - bring up the radial menu for your target at your mouse at any time at the press of a key.

One tiny thing. When you cntrl click, you then choose an icon and click to set. If you double click an icon, the icon gets set as soon as the mouse passes over the icon assignment without clicking, which results in sometimes picking the wrong one on accident.
Any chance of fixing that so you still have to click, or maybe a toggle option?
