  • About Nao!!
  •  

This addon is not actively developed

It doesn't even work on 3.1. Check out http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/surgetrack.aspx or http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/event-alert.aspx instead.

About

A proc watcher. It informs you about you have to react to, such as Maelstrom, Overpower, Brain Freeze, Infusion of Light, Surge of Light, Bloodsurge and Shadow Trance.

Currently, you have to do one of these things to grok a proc:

  • Constantly look at the buff list, trying to notice a proc when it appears in the list. You don't notice it, because you're raidbuffed and flasked.
  • Notice the animation thingie that happens on your character. Like, it's probably that purple whirl thingie you get every once in a while. You're busy watching the action bar or unit frames, though, so you don't notice that either.
  • The sound. All procs has one. You're busy hearing the sounds of everyone else around you, though.

With Nao!!, this is how you'll grok a proc:

  • When a proc occurs, the edges of your UI will flash red. Don't worry, it's not that obtrusive. And it means you'll notice that you have a proc. But which proc you say?
  • The proc you get is displayed slightly to the right of the center of the screen, as an icon. You'll also get a OmniCC-like timer on that icon, to know when the proc-buff fades.

Yes! Tracking procs is now easy!

Why use this addon?

Yeah, why use this addon when I can use MageProcMegaSuperWatcher, or DKPOWERPROProcAlertWohaZomg?

  1. There is no f-ing configuration. You can alter the default setup if you like, but most people should be happy with the default setup
  2. It works for every class. Oh the pain of having a separate UI for every alt of yours. That's why I love cross-class addons, and this addon is cross-class.

Features coming soon

You can find a updated list of stuff to come in the bug tracker.

Options

The slash command is /nao. This opens the configuration panel in the interface options.

    This is by far best proc addon. I've tried both SurgeTrack and EventAlert and they dont come close to this addon. What's better is it still works for my warrior without prob.

    But if someone could take over development and update it would be awsome. Mostly missing is custom audio alert on procs.

    To newcomers: I suggest you use the addons Zidomo mentions, Nao isn't updated as I'm not playing wow anymore.

    The problem I reported 5 months ago for Nao v0.3.11 is still present in WoW 3.1.3: change any settings in the Blizzard options panel for Nao, they don't save through relogs. They _always_ reset to "all active" after relogging/exiting. The settings you change seem to be reflected in the Nao.lua saved variables file after exiting, but the mod appears to improperly ignore the saved variables.

    The non-functioning options makes the mod virtually useless if you prefer the screen not to flash, etc.. Its a big hassle having to change the options every single time you log on due to this defect.

    Hope to see it updated to fix the current issues sooner than later.

    Two mods that can fully replace Nao. They function very similarly to it. But they are updated for WoW 3.1, include far more proc alerts & have options that actually work properly:
    --SurgeTrack (my choice, uses the least CPU/creates the least lag: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/surgetrack.aspx)
    --EventAlert (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/event-alert.aspx)

    The latest copy of EventAlert uses no detectable CPU cycles and offers more features than Surge Alert. It gives you the number in the middle of the icon, and you don't have to set up the locations for every individual character.

    Not entirely the case.

    The latest EventAlert v4.2.26 uses "no detectable CPU cycles"...only when a character is either idle or in combat, but has not proced yet (the EventAlert icon is not up).

    But when a character has proced and the EventAlert icon comes up, it uses about 5 times more CPU than SurgeTrack does in the same circumstances.

    And importantly, SurgeTrack allows you to easily add procs for it to track that it doesn't have built-in. Do a search for the spell you want on http://www.wowhead.com & head into its options in-game (its options are in the Blizzard "Addons" panel, EventAlert's options are not). Copy the spell id number from Wowhead's web address, add it to the option setting and you are set to track a new proc. EventAlert doesn't allow you to do this.

    But EventAlert provides two (or more) separate icons when you have more than one proc active at the same time. SurgeTrack only provides a single icon which gets overlaid when more than one proc occurs at the same time.

    The things you are correct on: yes, SurgeTrack requires you to set it up the first time you use it (location of icon, etc.) on each character. As it saves such information per character. Which is nice if you prefer your per-character procs to show either the same or differently.

    And EventAlert provides a "cooldown number" instead of just a Blizzard-like cooldown overlay as SurgeTrack provides. But if you use OmniCC as most serious players do (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/omni-cc.aspx), that will also give you an accurate "cooldown number" on the SurgeTrack icon.

    Would it be possible to edit NAO!! and add something for me?
    Im Warrior.
    I really need the improved overpower/overcome/overwhelm (im german and i dont know how the attack is called in english) to be shown with NAO.
    Means when bleeding damages the enemy, verpower/overcome/overwhelm is ready to use, but it isn´t shown by NAO... NAO only shows that verpower/overcome/overwhelm is ready when the target evades...

    Please send me an email with further information.

    THX to all

    Killing Machine does not show up for my Death Knight. I think the spell ID for the aura is correct, so perhaps something changed to invalidate the DK class in this add-on. I found Nao helpful, so I'm sad that it is not being supported and no longer working for me. Can someone suggest a similar addon? I use MSBT as well, but having the counter up with a big icon is just so helpful...

    Hmmm... some poking around revealed that Nao isn't loading for my DK, though it will load for other toons... seems there must have been a changing in labelling DKs? More study needed...

    Eureka! Fixed for my DK! Apparently, Nao checks the list of "auras" for your class, and if it cannot load one, it disables the addon. Since Death Trance no longer exists (changed mechanic), it caused Nao to self-disable. Remove or comment out line 74 (50466, --- Death Trance) and voila, it works again. If any other classes are having this same problem, just look for the abilities that have changed since 3.1.

    Can you please specify how you fixed it exactly, im not that good at modifying addons etc. so i have no clue how to make it work, since im having the same issue that you are

    If you can't understand what he's saying, get a more tech-inclined friend to help you.

    Or:
    --get a text editor that provides line numbers (like the totally free Notepad2 at http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html). The stuff that's built into Windows can't help you with seeing line numbers.

    --Open up the "\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Nao\main.lua" file with the text editor.

    --Do what the poster above said:
    "Remove or comment out line 74 (50466, --- Death Trance) and voila, it works again. If any other classes are having this same problem, just look for the abilities that have changed since 3.1.".

    --or if you prefer to use the POS Notepad in Windows, do a search for the "50466, -- Death Trance" line in the main.lua file and delete it.

    @Leethal: I love this addon a LOT. It's the best of its kind, I'm sad to see several reasonable requests that aren't being implemented, but I understand that your time is at a premium. Thank you for giving us this mod, that I have been able to add to for my own use. It's perfect!

    @Roytja: Check the "Load out of date addons" box. It works fine for me.

    @Alvander: See the instructions following, and try adding "60794, -- Libram of Obstruction" to the Paladin section. If that doesn't work, try 60795. I'm curious if those work. (Don't forget to reload your UI between tests if you edit the Lua file without logging out and back in)

    @Kouri: My DK's still pretty low do I don't have Rune Strike yet, but does dodging or parrying on your DK show a buff (or debuff?) indicating that Rune Strike is usable? If so, it's dirt easy to add it yourself to the source code. If not, it's still possible, but will require some work by the author.

    @Chivon8: I just added Hot Streak to my copy of this mod for my mage. Just open up main.lua, and scroll down till you see:

    [CODE]MAGE = {
    aura = {
    44544, -- Fingers of frost
    44401, -- Missile Barrage
    57761, -- Fireball! (from the Brain Freeze talent)
    12536, -- Clearcasting (from the Arcane Concentration talent),
    54741, -- Firestarter
    },
    },[/CODE]

    On the line right after Firestarter, (right before "},") add the following:

    [CODE] 44448, -- Hot Streak[/CODE]

    Any aura that shows up as a buff (or I presume debuff, but not sure) can be manually added. Just look up the proc's name on WoWHead, and look at the URL. At the end, it will say ?spell=44448 or some other number. That is the spellid for the buff. Just add it in for your class! Easy!

    (I haven't tested, but it looks like there's a seperate "Hot Streak" buff for the 1, 2, and 3 talent versions of this proc. If you use this without fully talented Hot Streak, you may need to use add 44445 and/or 44446, as well)

    Using load out of Addons works. I have so many old addons installed I didn't want to load them all so I just modified interface/addons/nao/nao.toc

    All you need to do is change the first line
    ## Interface: 30000
    and make it ## Interface: 30100
    Curse will complain that it has been modified, but hopefully that will hold you over until/if it gets updated

    Just to confirm what someone said below: Nao v0.3.11 doesn't save any changes you set in the Blizzard options panel in WoW 3.0.8a live. For instance, uncheck the screen flash option to turn it off, the next time you log on its back on again.

    Hope to see a working version soon Leethal; glad to see you are still around :).
