Automated and co-ordinated Party & Raid Resurrection
SmartRes puts bars on your screen that have timers for the various resurrection spells: Resurrection, Ancestral Spirit, Revive, Redemption, and tells you who is casting on whom, how long it will take to bring the target back to life.
Q: Why SmartRes, and not simply a macro?
A: Because macros cannot tell you the name of released (ghost) players, and SmartRes can.
A(2): When using the keybind (auto) rez feature, SmartRes will not try to res players who are already being rezzed by someone else.
A(3): Players who use SmartRes will see every out of combat res type spell being cast, Raid leaders can tell those without SmartRes that a given corpse is already being ressed so the resser can stop casting and pick a new target, thus speeding up wipe recovery.
SmartRes reports, and gets reports, from other addons that have a Resurrection Monitor. It is more accurate if all the ressers have SmartRes, of course!
KNOWN ISSUES: if you use oRA2, it apparently conflicts with SmartRes, although I used both at the same time for months and never had an issue. For now, if you do have a conflict, I suggest using HealInc or simply watch the res monitor in oRA2.
SmartRes is sometimes displaying in combat res casts (Rebirth) and it should not do so. I do not plan to fix this issue in the addon.
SmartRes2 is in development that addresses these, and a few other concerns.
Type /sr or /smartres for options, or use FuBar.
- Change the resurrection message, which chat type you want it: Party, Raid, custom
- Whisper the target of your res spell
- Move, colour, and re-texture the bars
- Set your own key bindings for Normal and Auto ressing
- More!!
It has both a manual and auto-bind key for resurrecting. The manual key is for targeting released players, and the auto key is for non-released corpses. The default keys are "-" and "." and to change keys, pick a key, or key combination, and then press the Enter button on your keyboard.
Localized: enUS, deDE, koKR, zhCN –– I would appreciate more localizations, and will give credit to those who help. Sadly, I do not know who provided the existing localizations pre-Wrath. Apparently, the German deDE is incorrect. Please go here to update that, or any other locales!
Original addon by Maia, continued by Kyahx and poull. WotLK version by Myrroddin.
Thank you for the bug fixes, Zidomo!
First of all, thank you to Zidomo and Xinhuan for all their help.
Removed all Babble-Spell code, and replaced it with GetSpellInfo (patch 2.4 API) for localization, as Babble-Spell is obsolete.
Updated the Libs to the newest versions I could find.
Added Druid spell "Revive".
Added Death Knights to the res auto-list.
r104: added support for AddonLoader: load delayed, set to be enabled for Priests, Shamans, Paladins, and Druids.
r105 cleaned up some code to prevent possible conflicts. Modified the .toc file to create "lib free" version for eventual Curse Client "no externals"/"no libs" support in case users want to install them seperately. The "lib included" version still exists.
5.11 renamed the version to be more consistant with the internal version of SmartRes. This would have been r106
6.02 fixed AddonLoader compatibility, added manual changelog, updated .toc and libs for patch 3.10 of World of Warcraft
6.03 (hopefully) fixed propagating to Curse to show up in updated addons. Force use latest version of libs
r114/r115: changed improper "DEATH KNIGHT" to the Blizzard recognizable englishclass "DEATHKNIGHT".
6.04 updated .Toc, verified pkgmeta had latest libs
6.0.6 removed SharedMedia (which is its own addon, not a lib)
fixed working copy tag
6.07 re-added SharedMedia-1.0
fixed repository url for SharedMedia-1.0
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.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
