Based on LuckyCharms by Vendan & Tehtsuo.
LuckyCharms2 has been almost completely rewritten from the original LuckyCharms with several new features added as well as an updated set of images.
Purpose
This addon was developed to aid in the marking of targets while in a group or raid.
How to use LuckyCharms.
When the charmbar is shown, you can hold down your left mouse button on the lock image to drage the bar around your screen.
The lock image will allow you to lock the bar in place. To toggle the lock, just hold down your shift key and left click.
The lock image will also allow you to open the configuration window. To do so just right click on the lock image.
The Kill Order frame displays a number above, below, right, or left of the CharmBar, depending on settings, that shows you how you have your current kill order set. It also contains a button labeled KO that will print the kill order to part, raid, and/or raid warning depending on the options you have chosen in the settings. You can hide the kill order frame if you wish, however, it is bound to the charmbar so if you hide the charmbar, the kill order frame will automatically hide.
Right click on any charm to define a crowd control assignment to that charm.
Shift + Right click a charm to remove the cc from that charm
Right click the clear charm to clear all cc assignments
If selected, pressing the KO button will print the kill order as well as cc assignments to party, raid, and/or raid warning. This setting is available in the KO options.
TODO:
Nothing at this time.
NOTE:
If you have LC2 prior to v2.7, your settings will be lost.
Questions or comments please feel free to contact me or leave a comment on the project page.
v2.7.1
-myAddOns Support
-Added Button Facade Support
-Added settings upgrade capability. No more deleting files from the wtf folder when massive variable changes occur.
-Removed CC Assignment Tooltip from main Charm Tooltip.
-Added CC Icon to Kill Order bar that shows the cc spell/ability assigned to the charm below/beside it.
-New CC icon tooltip contains details of the cc assignment.
-Text on the charm when a cc is assigned has been changed to CC so you are aware of the CC assignment.
v2.7
-New saved variable handling. Any version pre 2.7 will loose their settings.
-Ability to copy LC2 settings between characters. Profiles are available on the main configuration page.
-Enhanced CC Targets. Evaluates the group makeup and only allows selection of CC's that are available. Also, adds cc caster name to alert and tooltip. For party/raid, each cc is listed on a seperate line, however, raid warning has a limit of 2 lines at a time, so all CC's will be listed on one raid warning so the kill order can be listed on the other.
-BUG FIX: Charm Bar when set to auto did not automatically hide when you left a party/raid.
v2.6.1
-Changed charm disabling to only affect kill order and cc messages. Charms can still be used, but will have a red texture instead of normal to indicate they are disabled.
-BUG FIX: Charm tooltips were not displaying properly.
v2.6
-Added ability to disable charms. Disabled charms cannot be used for marking and will not show up in kill orders.
-Added new charm images for when the charms are disabled. Charms turn red to indicate they have been disabled.
-Bug Fix: Setting display status to auto when you in a group resulted in the frame hiding.
-Bug Fix: Kill order configuration settings were not loading properly. It would appear that LC2 was not remembering the settings even though it did.
v2.5.2
-Changed Text that is printed to chat frames to make it shorter to keep from confusing the assignments and kill order.
-Moved static error text to localization file.
-Moved other static text (Menus, etc.) to localization file.
-Change chat message handling. You can now choose to print to Party/Raid depending on Group configuration and/or Raid Warning. This setting is available under kill order configuraiton.
v2.5.1
-Corrected CPU Leak
-Change Variables_Loaded event to Addon_Loaded
v2.5
-Crowd Control Assignments can now be added to each charm icon.
-Right click a charm to assign a cc to it.
-Shift Right click a charm to remove that cc.
-Right click clear charm to remove all ccs.
-Option added to kill order config to print the cc targets with the kill order to selected chat.
-Target check to ensure the selected cc can be applied to that target. Invalid target displayed if cc cannot be used.
-Updated charm tooltips to reflect new changes, tooltips can still be hidden via the configuration.
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.
