  • About CombatAlert
  •  

Allows you to be alerted when various combat events occur. There is a preset mode that lets the addon work as a item/spell cooldown, buff and spell alerter or you can setup filters to only alert/warn/show you when certain events occur.

Read the readme.txt file inside the addon directory to learn how to add filters.

    Wrong yes it is. How about a GUI for this?

    First: thanks for programming this addon, it is, I think, exactly what I've been looking for. Only I'm too dumb to get it to work.

    What I want it to do:
    - Give me a clear warning if anyone in my vicinity casts a Mana Burn on me
    - Be silent and invisible at all other times

    What I tried in setting it up:
    - Checked only "allow unknown" and "enabled"
    - typed: "/cal insert crit cast focus player Mana Burn" and "/cal insert crit cast target player Mana Burn" and "/cal insert crit cast unknown player Mana Burn"

    However when I duel to try it out I don't get warned. Could you please help me find out what I did wrong?

    Thanks!

    You cant shorten critical as crit and I dont use the critical table anymore - its either show (no sound), info (info sound), warn (warn sound) or alert (alert sound).

    Try /cal insert alert cast * player Mana Burn

    Cast isnt working properly ATM - I dont know why but Ill work on it now. If you turn off preset mode it wont announce anything so itll do what you need when I get the Cast working.

    Ill be adding a wildcard (*) parameter to filters soon so that you dont have to add every type of filter (ie /cal insert warn * player Mana Burn).

  • Hi. =)

    Is the casting function working yet? I have been looking for an addon that would alert me when my /focus is casting polymorph on me and this seems to be the closest to perfect. What's the status of its functionality at the moment? Thanks for all your work!

    Theres an updated version on (http://files.wowace.com) I havent done much to it but I think I fixed cast and I know I broke cooldowns when trying to make it more efficient (Ill fix it soon). Ill work on it more after the upcoming patch since we will be able to see enemies buffs and debuffs.

    I use Parrot available at wowace website also an apply a patch (http://jira.wowace.com/browse/PAR-40) to it to get it to show buffs/debuffs/fades on focus/target Ive added a patched Auras.lua (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/9706/download/41909/) file here which you can place in the Parrot/Data/ directory so that you can add more triggers. Parrot is better than my addon, its like SCT + CombatAlert.

    I finally got around to fixing cooldowns. This version should work as good as witchhunt+sct-cooldowns when used with SCT.

    2.2.0 fixes non-preset pattern matching - I didnt realize it was broken because Ive been lazy and using preset mode (this isnt what the addon was written for although it works OK).

    Ill add icons and some options to turn off similar combat text messages next.

    2.4.0-pre is the PTR version although it should work on Live. Ill be removing the ParserLib code once 2.4.0 goes live.

    NB. I didnt fix the FloatingCombatText check so it wont work with Blizzard FCT ATM and youll receive an error if you try to change the frame it uses for output.

    Cast doesnt show a destination so Ill make it predict who the target of the cast is via checking the casters current target - it wont always be right so prediction will be optional (I may make it learn who is the target when people have previously cast on focus/mouseover targets).

    Cast should now work almost as intended - it will try and predict what the victimid is by seeing who the sourceid has targetted. It should work most of the time - Ill probably make it learn when people sheep focussed targets etc if needed.

    Im using a library that Im writing to display alerts now. When I get the library supporting timer/alert frames Ill add support to show events through those as well as the scrolling message frame.

  • Where can i download this Libs?

    I havent tested it standalone for a while but I see the same problem. I rely on LibFeedback and LibSharedMedia loading properly to add values to my config and theyre both failing to do that so its casing a config problem.

    Ill try and make it work properly - it might be my fault for trying to load the libraries too soon. :\

    Does this addon require any other addons in order to work ?. I tried installing this yesterday, and it diden't work, the Options screen was blank.

    2.4 has improved the value of this addon a lot via the objectflags - youll be able to add filters for tank, assist, raid targets (star, circle, etc) and friend/enemy if nothing else matches. The new combat events are a lot more useful for any combat alert addon. I dumped all the unit detection code.

    Im getting the Programming in LUA book so that I can learn LUA more and make my addons better. I want this addon to replace combat text and boss alert addons but it needs a lot of work before it can do that. :)

    2.9.2 works - everything needed to have it working is included.

    Feedback changes; Ive moved damage/healing into their own frames and fixed the bugs that stopped them from being scrolled diagonally (heals scroll up and left/right and damage scrolls down and left/right). Crits, warnings and alerts now stop scrolling and shake to make them more noticable.

    Ill check it out with my lock soon - if you mean pet buffs/debuffs then you should be able to run '/cal insert warn *buff pet *' to get buff/debuff warnings on the pet.
