About DebuffAlarm

DebuffAlarm plays a sound and flashes your screen whatever color you want for whatever debuff you want to be alerted over. You can add and remove debuffs easily, and setup different colors and sounds per debuff.

DebuffAlarm comes with 3 default debuffs configured: Solarian's Wrath of the Astromancer, Vashj's Static Charge, and Leotheras' Insidious Whisper.

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 has 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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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.

I am still using it... and it seems to work fine. If/when it breaks, I will sorely miss it. I am not aware of a good replacement. (I actually only use it for my Dwarf characters for Stoneform.)

I need to localize it for German still. If you want you can help with that. Take the Localization_enUS.lua file and translate it. :)

how to add a new debuff with console only?
/da debuffs add Debuff5

shows up only as a new debuff with no name

I just uploaded a new version. It fixes some issues with the FuBar plugin and changes the way debuffs are added.

@Carnivore
In the latest version you add a debuff with the following command:
/da debuffs add Recently Bandaged
Replacing "Recently Bandaged" with the debuff's name.

TheAvenger said

I tried it the manual way on void reaver and added a debuff called "Arcane Orb" Yet it did not get picked up. This is strange because the debuff from astromancer u placed "wrath of the astromancer" yet all you get with bigwigs is "wrath on you"

Do i need to know the EXACT name of boss debuffs ? ifso how do i find out what they're called

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
starlon said

You should see in your combat log "You are afflicted by <debuff name>" and what you put in DebuffAlarm must match <debuff name> exactly.

You can also add debuffs via a keybinding. Mouse over the debuff and hit the keybinding you configured. Look under Esc->Key Bindings to set it.

My DebuffAlarm does not open anymore in Fubar via RightClick... just nothing happenz

I get an error:

DebuffAlarm\Localization_deDE.lua:3: AceLocale(DebuffAlarm): Can only accept true as a value on the base locale. "enUS" is the base locale, "deDE" is not.

Thanks, Carnivore. I think I fixed this in r56083. I have no way of testing though.

Is it possible to be able to add text as a warning, instead of flashing.

Also, great job on this addon. This is the only addon I can find that notifies you of debuffs and works with 2.4. Blizzard did something very different I think with buffs and debuffs in 2.4, and any other mod involved with buffs and debuffs, like dotimer notifications and necb, no longer function properly.

Ariaya said

I love this addon. It is such a big help for me on raids; as a healer it makes me aware when I'm standing in something I shouldn't be. But since 2.4 it no longer works for me. I can't right click on it to open options and my screen no longer flashes a color with a debuff. Any suggestions? This is truly one of my favorite addons.
