- Garstiger (continued)

This addon was created to provide visual cues (auras) when you gain buffs, debuffs and many more. Very useful for shorts buffs or debuffs, it allows you to draw in the center of the screen, or around your character, very customizable visual effects, rather than having to look at or mouseover buff/debuff icons/actionbars.

Initially created to give visual cues for short duration procs like "clear casting" or some boost trinket you activate, many more aura triggers have been added since.
It now works with debuffs (whatever their name), debuff types (like Magic or Curse), combo points, harmful area spells, weapon enchants, Health, Mana, Rage or Energy thresholds, action cooldowns, aggro, pvp status and stance or shapeshift form.

How to use :

1- Type /powa, to open the effect browser
2- Click on the button "New" to create a new effect
3- On the effect editor, you can choose the texture to apply to the effect, the position, the size, the symmetry, be creative :P
4- Below, select the activator of the effect (like a buff, debuff, etc...)
5- Enter the name of the buff, debuff... just below (or a part of the buff, like "clear" for activation with the buff "clear cast"). Don't forget to read the tooltips for more help on ways to enter the names
6- It's ready ! Close all windows, when you gain the buff/debuff, the effect appears

You can easily add new textures by adding them in the "Custom" Directory,
or dropping sequentially numbered Auraxx.tga files in the Auras subfolder inside the addon directory.

  • I have used Power Auras for a long time now and absolutely love it.

    Request 1: I use build complex conditionals, which I would like to simplify by having the ability to add a !(NOT) before a condition. This doesn't seem to be supported at the moment.

    Request 2: Recently I switched to playing a death knight and can't find how to check for the number of runes available - in some cases I can substitute a spell that requires those runes (for example 1xblood, 1xunholy, 1xfrost) but there are no spells that require 2xblood. My request is to add a check for the number of runes of a specific type (perhaps similar to rogue energy).

    I will have a look around in the .lua and see if I can add the first myself.

    For some reason "Action Usable" is not working at all with Fel Domination. On the /powa menu it is also showing the [?] icon where the spell icon would normally be.

    Double-checked spelling, reloaded ui, neither worked. I'm out of ideas, and this is a very important spell to keep track of.

    Like some others have indicated, I am having trouble with being able to use the addon. It is in my addons list, and checked as active, but the addon interface has "Out of Date" in red to the right of it on my addon list. /powa does not bring up the interface.

    Anyone who could be of assistance, I would be very appreciative if you could help.

  • To run the mod even while out of date, you have to open the add ons list, look at the top left corner, and check load out of date add ons.

    Is there a way to get this addon to show whenever your soulstone is castable? I want to make sure I have a stone on someone whenever I can, but I can't seem to find the right trigger, since it's cast from an item I guess...

    Walking: Shadow Crash is a debuff, make sure you're not setting it up as a buff by accident.

    Ive been using this addon for a while and I find it great, but I have a couple of problems. I can't to save my life get it to show when Iam inside a shadow crash area on general vezex. So it pops up when I got haste buff and leaves when either I leave the area or the shadow crash disappears.

    Also Mark of the faceless on general and Natures fury on freya - I can't get it to show, no idea why. - Anyone have these setup?

    I use a number of moda liek pitbull, eepanels, bartender and power auras. I am having problems setting up power auras for debuffs I cast.

    I can setup self buffs and procs like Hunger for Blood, Hot Streak etc but when i setup something for Rip, Living Bomb it just doesnt work. Could this be related to some of the posts Ive seen where they say you need to have these spells on a normal Blizzard cast bar before it will work ??

    Does anyone have any of the debuffs working for them using power auras. can you post the settings for one of them please

  • Is anybody actively working on this addon? I have a pile of bug-fixes and new features I have added, so speak up!

    e.g.
    * Self or party or Raid option
    * export/import/copy include timer settings
    * ability to search tool-tips if buff/proc have same name

    etc

    Honestly, if you would be willing to add features and fix bugs I think that everyone would greatly appreciate you doing so. The person that took over this addon hasn't done anything with it in quite a while, and there seems to be numerous bugs =/

    I have similar problems as some of you - properly set aura doesn't trigger. Someone even said auras for some spells work and for some not.
    What I found??
    When setting auras as "action usable" POWA scans.... action buttons....
    As I don't use blizzard action bars i don't have spells on them... So POWA cannot find spells to watch. I found that thanks to debugging messages.
    It would be better if it was scanning spellbook if it's impossible to scan action bars addons.
    For now if you use action bars addon (like Macaroon that I use) you need to disable it temporarily, put spells you need anywhere on blizzard bars, then return to your bars. I have all my 'action usable' auras working now.
    Only it's a bit pain-in-the-ass to switch bars anytime you neet do setup a new aura ;/

    Thanks for the tip, but after trying it it didn't work for me. Thanks for taking the time to try :)

    Can you set up a conditional aura? I mean can you have:

    IF Aspect of the Viper AND mana > 90% then apply aura?

  • I've created an effect for Psychic Scream using the "Action Usable" item in the drop down. I also have the "Show when not active" checkbox selected and have a timer shown to display the time remaining before it can be used again. This part works fine.

    The problem I'm having is when I use another ability that also has an effect created for it, I see the 1 second GCD flash on the timer for fear, and on every other timer that I've created in this manner.

    There is an option called "Global Cooldown" but It only seems to work on the visual effect, not the timer. Either way, checking it or leaving it unchecked has no effect on the timer itself and I always see the GCD.

    Is there anyway to have it not show the 1 second GCD countdown in the timers?

    I cannot get this add-on to work for me anymore. I was working for a while and then just stopped during an update (I forgot which) I had stopped playing for a few weeks and I have just checked it today..No matter what I do, I cannot get it to work. Ive tried to install it and I've checked that it is enabled. Nothing. Any ideas?

    You won't like this solution BUT:
    rename your "wtf" folder in your wow directory.... Go ahead and check the addon again.
