RoboCleric is a revised version of cEasyHealer. While designed for healers, other classes can use it as well. There are buttons for you, your party/raid members, the target, and the focus. Each button shows the current health%, which grows and changes colors as the target is more in need of your services; the buttons even blink to tell you when someone has gone over a 75/50/25% boundary. 4 spells can be preset, and are cast by click, shift-click, control-click and option-click.
Buttons can be dragged around, organized (like "clean up desktop"), and can automatically hide when the target isn't valid. The buttons even tell you when the target is out of range of the spells.
Requires Cosmos/Khaos for configuration. The included !README.txt file contains documentation on how to configure it.
Fixes a problem with the "align buttons" routine; WOW 2.2 made a change that rendered an assumption I was making invalid.
What was particularly annoying was a comment in my code that read "If Blizzard changes this, then this code will break, and they will probably do so about 3 weeks after I write this". It took them less than 3 weeks... grin!
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.

Everian saidI love this, but I can no longer run it after patch 2.4. I hate to have to live without it. I have never found a mod that works as well as this one. Please... PLEASE make a version for 2.4

AshGUTZ saidI do have ONE slight suggestion, however. To make it bit more globally used. I noticed that while using this add-on, I tend to stay focused looking at just my "Icons". Which means, I don't see de-buffs in Raid/Party Avatars anymore, since i'm not looking there. If there would be a way to color assign some sort of option for when a target gets De-Buffed with a certain class of debuff, that would help a ton. May encourage a few other users, as well.
In example: The targets' health digit changing color, or maybe a colored border appearing.
Magic Debuff=Blue, Curse=Purple, Poison=A darker tint green, Returns like "Weakened Soul" = Yellow, etc;etc.
As well as, fully customizable colors as well as the defaults.
I realize this is alot of work but, it would definitely bring me back to using the add-on.

stumpylock saidAnyone been getting weird issues with this lately,
While in raid i only have the grp 1 & 2 buttons + pets ticked but i still keep getting ones coming up for party, player and target but no pets.
if i go back to options and say click player and click it again to remove it disappears but as soon as i close the menu it just comes back again :(

stumpylock saidJust started playing my pally again so downloaded this for him, seems really kool so great work :P
just a question though, are you able to set up down ranked spells and if so how? i.e holy light rank 5 I've tried putting it in like that and also as holy light: rank 5 but nothing casts when i try it
also, as u can left click to cast the spell are u able to right click to cast a spell as well?
once again great mod
cheers.

MadOverlord saidCurrently, right-click sets that player as the target (I need to document that). I could define 4 spells as right-click options, but I am concerned that it will make it a bit confusing to use.
IIRC, the way to specify spell ranks is like this: "Holy Light (rank 3)" but I have not tested this. I will try and remember to do so and update the documentation.
Currently I am working on pet support and having alternate spells for hostile targets (useful for putting the hammer down on mobs about to heal themselves, for example).

XeonBlue saidI suppose you haven't heard that there is already a healing mod with more power than you describe available http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/3802/
It even shows incoming heals if the other healers in the raid / party are using it.
Plus so much more that I don't have time to describe just now

MadOverlord saidYes, I am aware of HealBot. I looked at several healing addons before deciding to take over the development of cEasyHealer. The one-button, one-click style of cEasyHealer fit my own personal style better, so most of my changes are to try and make it more intuitively easy to use. In particular, I want to make the OODA (Observe,Orient,Decide,Act) loop as quick as possible; if it takes you longer than the current spell's cast time to figure out your next move, then you're wasting time, not to mention the time needed to position the mouse and click.
Also, this addon is my first stab at programming an addon (yet another computer language to learn, I think LUA is somewhere around #40 or so...), so I wanted to start with something simple and use it as a learning experience.
Adding communication between party members using the plugin is definitely on the to-do list.

Zhanobi saidHi. I love your addon/mod. Very simple to use for newcomer and even vet. I also love the idea of having the choice of which addons we can choose other then having a HUGE addon that want to make it a EVERYTHING mod which I think its just too bloated. Looks awesome ! Thanks and keep it up!
