These tool let you quick and easy set raid targets.The symbolbar is scalable and moveable. You can set description (like sheep, tank,..) and assign symbols to player.
Kind of use:
1. Open settings window and assign description to symbol.
2. Target a player and right klick on a symbol in the symbolbar to assign a player to the symbol.
3. While raiding select the target to mark these. Left klick on a symbol in the symbolbar.
Features:
- On Mouseover the icons you can see the player assigned and descriptions of it
- Changeable order of Symbols
- Raidleader can propagate to set assigned targets. The assigned players must have RaidMobMarker installed and allow remote control.
- Set assigned players as MTs (CT_RAID, oRA2 supported)
Slash commands
- /rmm show/hide toolbar
- /rmm help show all slash commands
- /rmm mark 1-8 sets mark to current target (useful for use within macros)
- ...
(alternative use /raidmobmarker instead)
Use the help command for the complete list. Also have a look at the Keybindings for RaidMobMarker.
Future:
This project have an intention to save the mark progress and mark automatic repeating groups the same way
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.

itaush saidVery nice mod indeed.
But I have a question - how may I make it anounce the marks? I.e. I set a description, click anounce and ... it only says something like "Exlenation ...:" and nothing more :(

Gurnig saidAwesome mod, any chance it could auto appear instead of me having to turn it on every time?
Also, I installed it alliance side, but play horde mostly. Since I used it alliance first, whenever it whispers someone it says "You cannot speak their language"... Alliance side it whispers them.

yes it have an auto-appear function so it comes up when you are in group/gaid.
For the language problem i admit you to raise your "linguistic"-skills ;)

Gurnig saidHmm, still doesn't appear automatically in raids.
Uninstalled it, deleted the relevant WTF files and still have language issues. Is the whisper function set for common or something so only works alliance side?

workinghard saidLook at the settings window. There must be an option to turn "auto appear function" on/off.
Regards to your language problem. If you use an english client, the language will be set to common.
This works for both sides (alliance and horde). You have probably alliance player in your assign-list.
So the addon trys to send them a whisper and fails because you try to whisper to an alliance player
and you don't speak their language.

Gurnig saidAh, that's your mistake. Common is alliance only. The horde version is called "orcish". No horde can speak "common".

Zerotoresque saidIt's an imba addon, just missing some things;
> When I change the description of a mark, it only saves after closing the form. It would be usefull to have it save automatically.
> Empty descriptions should be markable and announceable aswell.
> Maybe add an option to enable 1) announcing as it is, 2) announcing in RWs only or 3) announce in normal chat only.
I gues this is not the project's website, but as it's currently not working I find this the only place to put it.
Ohh, btw, maybe add a dropdown box next to the mark description which might be usefull appointing marks =)

workinghard saidThanks,
you're right. I don't like the actual save behaviour, too. It's on my TODO list.
To add the requested announcing features can take some time but its a good idea
and a it comes on my todo list, too.

XylanTrueheart saidJust trying out this add on. First thing is if I visit the link above (which I assume is the project homepage) even after selecting English a lot of the text is in German.
Secondly. the slash command is identical to reMiniMap (/rmm) and thus I cannot access this add on by slash command.

workinghard saidThe project homepage is not complete translated, thats right. I had not much time to do this. Coming soon.
Secondly i added another slash command "/raidmobmarker"

Bergamo saidIs there anyway to announce marks in a regular 5man party...or is it only raids?
- +0

workinghard saidSure, the same way. You have to ensure that the signs have a description and the player are assigned.
Check out the project homepage for instructions how to do this.
