HISTORY
Whats new in r525509-R1 (a brief list):
•Fixed the VERY annoying vanishing target cooldowns issue finally!
•Added paladin shields and Lay on Hands to target cooldown monitoring.
•Added boss name and shame, i.e. when people dont avoid Flame Tsunami in OS10/25 it names the player who failed, and at the end of the fight it gives a summary who failed and how many times. At present it only supports OS10/25 but more boss events will be added. Use /natur fail to toggle on/off (default is off).
Whats new in r523509-R1 (a brief list):
•This is a quick maintenance release to correct trinket errors and some other minor issues. New features are incoming with additional improvements - these are not in this update atm.
Whats new in r59059 R1 (a brief list):
•Fixed issue where anchors for buffs/debuffs not showing when "Show Buffs/Debuffs on me" was turned off.
•Added arena wide hostile cooldown mode, auto switches so that you dont need to target the hostile player to see their cooldowns.
•Seperated players buffs/debuffs into their own groups
•Fixed issue with test bars still showing on groups which were turned off.
•Added naxxramas dispell test code which will inform raid who needs dispelling. This is test code and only available by typing /natur naxx (default off). This code is the start of boss monitoring and will eventually become a small window on the raid leaders screen showing him who in the raid needs dispelling and/or announce to the raid.
Whats new in r57059 R1 (a brief list):
•fixed issue where a spell from the monitored list wouldnt delete.

Whats new in r54059 R1 (a brief list):
•fixed issue where buffs/debuffs not cast by me were still showing regardless of the option setting.
•fixed some issues with a few options forgetting their settings.
•added a spell monitoring option so that the monitoring part of the addon can be switched off and on without the need to clear monitored spells.

•Show a targets Beneficial buffs and debuffs with the option to ignore certain spells or abilities.
•Target & Focus - Bar display can be switched to your target/focus only, or you can show all player casts around you. In target/focus mode the bars show a T or an F on the right showing you where the cast is from.
•Movable Groups - Groups can be grouped as one or split up.
•Shows yours and your targets cooldowns, beneficial buffs and much more!

[OPTIONS]
For in game options please type /natur
Other quick commands are /natur anchor which toggles the group titles.
A list of the available options are below:
Split Timer Groups
Default is ON : this option splits buffs, debuffs, cooldowns etc into their own seperate groups which can be dragged to a suitable area of your screen. When off, all those timers are sent to the Primary Group which is all grouped
together.
Show Friendly Casts
Show Hostile Casts
Default is ON : This shows what your target/focus is casting (unless you have Show Casts Without T/F on), if the target is friendly then it will be sent to the correct group unless you have Split Timer Groups turned off. However, bars show a red/green T/F icon indicating if its a target or focus and if its friendly or hostile.
Show T/F Debuffs
Default is ON : This option tells Natur to show your target/focus debuffs (Dots etc) and their durations. This group is also used by the option "Show Buffs/Debuffs on me" and will therefore not switch off the group anchor if one of the two options is turned on.
Show T/F Gains
Default is ON : As with the "Show T/F Debuffs", this options shows beneficial buffs on your target or focus. The same applies regarding the "Show Buffs/Debuffs on me" options where the group will still show when either of these options are turned on.
Show Target Cooldowns
Default is ON : Natur attempts to calculate the targets cooldowns but will only function correctly if your target used his spell or ability in range of your combat log.
Show Diminish Returns
Default is ON : Displays a 18 second timer when spells which have a diminish return restriction enforced by Blizzard. Show Others DR's : Default is OFF : Displays others DR's around you, this can be quite spammy at the moment in battlegrounds such as Wintergrasp. I will be changing this to a target/focus like the rest of the addon at a later date.
Show Buffs/Debuffs on me
Default is OFF : Any buffs/debuffs applied to me such as renew, corruption etc will show with this option.
Show everyones buffs/debuffs on target and not just mine
Default ON : With this option on you will see all buffs/debuffs on your target or focus. When OFF, only timers are shown for spells you applied to your target or focus.
Show Casts without T/F
Default is OFF : Shows all casts (both friendly/hostile) around you. Nice and spammy in a city
Announce Applied Crowd Controls
Default is ON : Sends a message to chat that you have applied a crowd control spell to your target. Announce When It Breaks : Default is ON : Sends a message to chat when your target breaks from its crowd control spell. Play Sound : Default ON : Play a warning sound when your target breaks. Flash GUI : Default ON : Flashes the border of your screen red when your target breaks.
Announce Crowd Control Immune
Default is ON : Announces to chat when a attempt to crowd control fails, i.e. when diminish returns kick in or in a raid when a mob is immune.
- Play Sound
- Flash GUI
Display Rogue Warning
Default is ON : As it says on the box, displays a rogue warning if a spell is detected nearby by a hostile rogue.
- Play Sound
- Flash GUI
Auto Reputation Bar
Default is ON : Switches your reputation bar to the faction you just received reputation from. Handy when rep grinding in battlegrounds or with factions.
Play fun sound when using Deathknight Deathgrip
Default is ON : Plays a fun "Get over here" or "come here" when you use Deathgrip.
Play PvP Death Sounds
Default is ON : Plays a fun Unreal sound when you get a killing blow on a player (or NPC) if the below option is set.
- Include NPC's
Spell fade monitoring
Default is ON : Turns on spell monitoring which will notify you if a spell has expired or has been dispelled. Note that you must also include the spell name to monitor for this feature to work correctly.
[IMPORTANT]
Please understand that this was a complete rewrite and not all features are implemented in this version until further testing. With that in mind there will be a lot of incoming updates so please keep checking back. If there is something not working right, or you have a suggestion please post it so that it can be fixed.
Thank you.
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.
