Sorren's Timers is a mod that creates groupable status bars for debuffs, and other various class skills using the Ace2 framework.
Lots of big changes here, options have been completely reworked and skill detection for the most part has been completely reworked. Thew new API in 2.1 makes it so that I don't need huge files for every class detailing all their skills, rather the API provides all the information for whatever debuffs you've already tagged onto the mob.
Skills are now added to the options after you use them for the first time. /st config or click on the minimap icon/fubar icon to bring up the new config pane. Bars that you don't want can be quickly disabled by Alt+Clicking on them and selecting disable.
This version should also be compatable with just about every language, even its its not localized for every language. Please try it out and post any strangeness you encounter.
-Fixed Embeds, this should fix all the loading problems. Someone killed all the stuff in the toc, and when someone else attempted to fix it they left a few of the externals out of the embeds. I had trouble figuring this out because AceLibrary automatically enables externals that you need.
-Fixed an issue with creating new groups
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.

Dridzt saidI've fixed up Sorren's Timers for 2.4 and added a couple new features along the way
over here.
Sorren's Timers (2.4) at wowi
Changes from the last 2.3 build:
- 2.4 compat: Removed the non-working Parser-3.0 and Deformat 2.0 library, using the new combatlog events.
- 2.4 compat: Removed Babble-2.2 in favor of GetSpellInfo() API
- SharedMedia-1.0 -> LibSharedMedia-3.0 upgrade
- New feature: Ability to show buff and debuff stacks on bars ($s is the format placeholder)
- New feature: GUIDs (unique mob identifiers) used. Same name mobs get different bars.
(sheep a target + kill another, or keep track of your hunter mark on a target while you trap another etc is now possible for "same name" mobs)
- New feature: missing Wrath of Air Totem added, Nether Protection, Cheat Death and a host of other short duration (<30'') enemy buffs added under enemy skills.
- bugfix: partial workaround for "stale" bars due to the absence of UNIT_DIED events. (blizzard confirmed bug slated for fix in wow 2.4.2)
- bugfix: errors on newly created chars (lvl 1-2 or that haven't visited the lowbie class trainer)
- bugfix: properly declare used libraries in embeds.xml and OptDeps.

loopinvariant saidThere is a bug with the detection of the global cooldown spell. I have a level 1 Warrior banker alt, and he doesn't have the default spell that is selected by the abilities-warrior.lua code. This causes to following error to happen:

lindalas saidSorren, there are a few different abilities that affect the whole party such as Ferocious Inspiration and Drums... I don't think there is any value in getting one bar for each person in those cases. Is there any chance you could change ST (or at least include an option) so that we only got one bar for FI etc.?

jtpowell saidHaving a problem with the latest version of Sorren Timers: the addon does not load, and I receive an error message that "attempt to index global SorrenTimers (a nil value)". I reinstalled an older version, which seems to work fine.
A typo in the code of the new version perhaps?

T-A-Z said@ SethKeta: ST has been very much fixed lately. And by the way, you can disable EVERY bar, ST is showing ( /st config -> Buff Tracking)
i also got i question myself: It is possible, to disable ALL the text strings for particular groups, exept the one showing time? Tried to figure out how, and deleted every string for what might come up, but it didn't help. ( I'm trying to show bars showing just icon and timeleft). Would be very happy to get that "fixed" ;)

SethKeta saidHonestly Shivolace, I'd prefer Sorren's Timers not to follow the weapon imbuements. :P I have Elkano's BuffBars that tracks their duration. I really would -not- enjoy to see Sorren's Timers count down for 30 minutes. It's bad enough when I put Gift of the Wild on a bunch of people on my Druid, and my Sorren's Timers goes crazy tracking them all. @_@
I would prefer it to only show the short durations. Thus 3 minutes or shorter (Sentry Totem excluded, that's the only 5 min that should be there)
Also, been having some issues with Sorren's Timers lately. It seems to have been broken by 2.3 for me. Also, since 2.2 I've been having some annoying bugs with Earth Shock not leaving the bar once it finishes.

Shivolace saidi noticed that alot of the timers on Shaman abilities and totems are wrong.
So here's what the ability is, the value you have, and the correct value.
Fire Nova Totem - 2:00 - 0:05
Wrath of Air Totem - you do not have this - 2:00
Mana Tide Totem - Resto tree, you don't have it - 0:12
Searing Totem - 0:35 - 1:00
Earthbind Totem - 2:00 - 0:45
Stoneclaw Totem - 2:00 - 0:15
Sentry Totem - 2:00 - 5:00
Grounding Totem - 2:00 - 0:45
Totem of Wrath - I don't know if you have it (Elemental) - 2:00
Earth Shield - your timer is correct, but it stays on even after all ten charges are gone, or it is dispelled.
Water Shield - you don't have it - 3 charges/10:00 (after the patch it will be 3 charges/1:00)
Windfury, Frostbrand, Rockbiter, Flametongue weapon chants - you do not have them - 30:00
Far Sight - You don't have it - 1:00
Sorry if this seems as though I'm telling you how to make your mod, all of this is of course at your discretion, i'm just trying to help. =]

Error: CandyBar-2.0: You need the PaintChips-2.0 library if you don't pass in RGB pairs as colors. File: Interface\AddOns\SorrenTimers\Core.lua Line: 1795 Count: 1
Looks like PaintChips-2.0 is in use, so what's going on?
