BadKitty

Love your addon btw but was wondering to simplify my insane keybindings would it be possible to make the spell icons into buttons and then make them keybindable would free up alot of space on my hot bar and probably insure i dont hit the wrong button at the wrong time ill look at your code see if i can figure it out but im an lua newb. doesnt seem that hard though
Your thoughts?

Thanks for this great Addon, Barry!

I've only got one problem with it, and that is dual-specs. I'm a resto/feral dual spec and when I switch back to my resto spec, I get an error which I can't get off my screen:
Interface\AddOns\BadKitty\BadKitty.lua:819: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'Zstart' (a nil value).

I don't know lua file syntax (but I do know programing). It appears that the problem is that I can't calculate a cooldown on a talent I don't have, berserk. Unfortunately "If Zstart is nil then" apparently is not valid syntax.

I'm fine with making a manual fix till your next update, but unfortunately I don't know the language well enough to be successful. Any help you could send my way would be great.

Because I'm reading this again, to clarify: "If Zstart is nil then ..." was something I attempted to add to resolve the problem (which didn't work).

I did find something that did work in case anyone else is having the issue. Below line 815 "local Bstart,Bcd,Benable = GetSpellCooldown(BADKITTY_BARKSKIN)
" add the following block of code:

if Zstart == nil then
Zstart = 0
Zcd = 0
Zenable = 0
end

This removes the error I get in resto spec and the Berserk timer still works correctly in feral spec.

Hi Barry,

Have you considered adding latency display to BadKitty bars?

I would love to be able to see a little red portion on each of my timers that lets me know when I actually need to refresh something. This latency display should be updated for all bars on each special attack made. I believe it would be helpful to all kitties living outside the states, such as myself. I also think that addon authors who have written addons that track latency would probably be willing to share code if you ask them.

Either way, love your addon. Keep up the good work! :)
(ps: Lacerate is still broken unless my version is out of date... could it not update the Lacerate stacks on change of target?)

Cheerio :)

Heya MeisBarry,

The mod's great, it's got alot of the functionality that I've been looking for, including the Savage Roar timer grouped with the others, and the Shred Count. But I came to BK from using DoTimer, and one thing that I really liked about watching my debuffs with DoTimer is that it would prioritize the positioning of the buffs towards the top as they got closer to ending, meaning that the buffs that were going to drop first would be ontop, and the next right below it, etc.

This made it useful for if there were a sudden change, like with the Shred Glyph, where throwing in a few lucky Clearcasts of Shred would put the Rip reapplication on a lower Queue. As is, when I use BK, I have to re-evaluate my Priority Cycle by doing a quick scan of all the numbers present on the list.

It's a great mod as is, but if you included this, I think it would improve the intent's capability drastically.

Thanks!

Hi MeisBarry,

I have made an addon extention to your addon which colors the background of the bars frame. This addon is mainly made as a "proof of concept", which is why there is not configuration or customization possibilities . If you like to merge this functionality into badkitty, i will gladly drop badkittywarnings addon.

Thanks for an excellent addon:-)

Hmm... warning icons do not seem to show other players Mangle. If I apply it in a raid, it counts mine down, but if someone else is applying it, the icon counts to zero when mine runs out and stays red as if mangle is not applied even if a bear tank has it up 24/7. Working as intended or am missing something?

Ok, tonight it is working. I swear it wasn't on the first night I downloaded it, but I am also the guy that posted about being colorblind, so maybe I just wasn't used to the mod yet. All seems to be working great, and again, I really like the add on.

No, I mean that the icon was only active with my mangle. I could see the other mangle debuff on the boss's health frame, but my badkitty showed mangle as inactive. Not sure what is going on. We also had a fury warrior in the group and I am 90% positive he was keeping trauma up. Idk. Mangle still showed as needing to be applied the whole time unless I put it up.

I like the add-on alot. What I do not like is that the icons all turn red once the timer has reached zero. I may just not be used to where they are in the block to easily notice which is not active, but once they turn red, I cannot pick out what I need to apply without difficulty. I am red-green colorblind which is probably the problem. If, for instance, Faerie Fire stayed pink, or Savage Roar stayed its orange, I could quickly distinguish even from peripheral vision what was inactive. As is, I cannot. Could you perhaps put an option to disable the red coloring of the inactive de-buffs/buffs?

Or if there is an edit I can make to the xml I would do that :) I looked through and found code about whether the icons were hidden or shown based on count, but not what was turning them red. I don't want to mess with your project at all, but it really is that tough for me to distinguish and I really love the addon. Thanks for anything you can do.

THANK YOU!!!

I see that the (x,y,z) is really RGB too which is hot, cause I can make them any color (err shade) I wanna now. <3 u forever. SO much easier on the color impaired eyes.

Fantastic add on. Any feral DPS serious about raiding should be using this. Keep up the good work.

Also, happy to hear about the lacerate bug fix.
