  • About EventAlert
  •  

The addon will notify you in the middle of your screen with an icon, name of the spell that has procced, the time left on the proc and will make a subtle sound. EventAlert is also able to handle more than one proc at a time (this option was not available in previous versions).

I am not fond of addons that have very complicated installation and setups. The mod should work on install without any config, but if you wish to change any options use the following command: /ea options
To see a more detailed list of what options are avaiable to the mod, just check out the screenshot of the options pane.

This mod tracks the following events/procs:

Quick Backstory: I created this addon as a test for myself as my first "from the ground up" addon. Most of my coding in WoW LUA was taking other addons and just fixing them so they work from minor bugs or whatnot.

Anyhow, I needed a mod that was lightweight and did only what I wanted it to do, and that was warn me when one of my spells or talents procced something I needed. Thus, EventAlert was born. There are likely to be bugs, explosions and not so good things that may come from this mod. I'm sorry in advance! If you find a bug, please let me know so I can fix it.

Also, if anyone finds a spell/talent/etc that they want watched, please let me know and I will add it!

    Any way to remove Clearcasting for mages as a tracked alert?

    Reply Report Permalink
  • Type: /ea opt
    Then click on the "Show/Hide Class Alerts" button.
    Uncheck Clearcasting.

    Should be it! :)

  • Awesome, thank you for the reports everyone.

    It looks like it's erroring when trying to pre-load the alternate alerts table with spells that don't exist to the character. Either the character is too low to have the skills, or they simply haven't been trained.

    I think I got it fixed. Please keep reporting problems if you have any. Thanks again all! :)

    That's the same as mine.

    I had three heirlooms on, doubt that has anything to do with it.

    Fwiw, I only get that error on login on my paladin bank alt in IF. I don't get it on my warlock main in Dalaran.

  • arg, this bug eludes me ATM.

    I can't replicate the problem. The issue that is coming up here is that the code that is on that line is reading spellIDs from your spellbook, to get the highest rank spell you know for the tracked items. For some reason, that code is loading before the game has finished loading... meaning that it doesn't see any spells in your spellbook.

    I've moved the code to a place where it should only be loading once the game has loaded, but it's still giving people some trouble here and there.

    I'll work on it some more and see if I come up with something. If you have any more info, please let me know. It helps. I appreciate the report. :)

    I got the error also when I took a Dalaran portal to Darnassus on my warlock. So it only appears to happen when zoning into an old world city?
