Facemauler is a spell recommendation mod for feral druids in cat form. It takes the current state of the game (buffs on you, debuffs on your target, CP, Energy, etc), and recommends the best move to do next. It was written because the Cat priority list is very complicated, and is still a work in progress. It is for single target only, and doesn't consider Cat Swipe.
There are two seperate icons for Clearcasting and Berserk. Berserk recommendation can be disabled in the options. There is also a slider to adjust how much time must best left on rip to use FB
There is an option to disable FFF suggestion. Users can also choose how many CP to use SR at via a slider in the options.
The mod attempts to predict your second move after suggesting your first one. It does this by displaying two smaller icons. One for if your current move generates 2cp, and another if it generates 1. This is disable-able via the options menu.
3.1.0.04b Did my first pass on the algorithm. Adjusted the FB priority so it will show up more. Added energy checks to make it show icons when abilities can be done. It should be much better now. Make sure you use the normal algorithm. I recommend setting FB Rip ticks to 3 and SR refresh CP to 5.
3.1.0.03b Fixed a bug where other people's rake/rip would be detected as your own, breaking the calculations if there was a hunter cat or other feral druid.
3.1.0.02b Re-wrote the spellID code. Mangle should be recommended. It should now work in any language as well. Still have not done the algorithm re-work, but it at least runs.
3.1.0.01b Initial fix set for 3.1. I havn't had much time to test this, so there may still be bugs. Changed versioning system to match wow versions.
0.9m: Fixed a small algorithm problem and resolved another lua error.
0.9l: Fixed a problem with the mod erroring when not on a druid. Put in a partial fix for the french translation. Mangle may not be displayed properly, needs testing.
0.9k: Should now only be active when playing a druid and in cat form. Removed extra debug messages.
0.9j: There are now two seperate icons for Clearcasting and Berserk. Berserk recommendation can be disabled in the options. There is also a slider to adjust how much time must best left on rip to use FB
0.9i
New localization code allows it to pull the right translations from the game. The only thing that may not work is FFF, and that can be disabled in the GUI.
0.9h
Fixed some typos in the localization code. Added Cat Form to the localized terms.
Added zhTW, ruRU, and frFR translations (Thanks to all who helped translate).
0.9g
Added code for localization. German Language should work, but I can't test it
Fixed a bug with the FFF code that made it come up too often
Fixed a bug with the Hide code that made it not work correctly after death.
0.9f
Upgraded move prediction to be more precise
Added an option to disable FFF suggestion.
Fixed FFF checking so that it will only apply if it is going down.
0.9e
Updated the options menu with some new controls
Added second move prediction (not 100%, but close)
Added a second algorithm from nightcrowler of Runetotem EU
Added code to hide the mod when not in cat form.
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.
