  • About TotemGuru
  •  

TotemGuru Main Window


TotemGuru is designed to allow you to see all the totems dropped by the shammy’s in a raid. The idea being to see immediately if any totems are missing (i.e. everyone has dropped the same totems meaning that buffs are missing) and also to make the totems more visible as it can be hard to see the totems with 25 people stood on them).

Features


Show Totems dropped by Raid/Party/All Shammy's.

Re-ordering of player list

Manual Refresh(clear all) of totems/chars

Tooltips identifying the Totems in the window

Cooldown timers on totems (added in V0.9b)

Warning icons for missing totems

Buff detection (still in development)

Auto Show hide for raids (i.e. hides when not in an instance)

Known Issues




Youtube videos


So far there is only one video up showing the range checking in action. This can be found at TotemGuru range checking

About the Author

    Thanks, thats probably the biggest praise its got so far :D

    Hopefully it will keep improving over time (if I can stop raiding long enough to keep updating it lol)

    I have uploaded Version 6.2a which is an alpha version for testing. This includes the first part of the Totem Assignments. It is currently limited in look and feel but I need to test out the undlying communication for the addon.

    If you find any error messages popping up let me know. I will be adding the multicast button later and moving things about a bit.

    To test it out you need to check the assignment button in the settings window and then click on the assign button on the new settings page. you can then change the totems in the list for each shaman and press the send button to update their totem buttons (if they have their version set to receive assignments as well)

    let me know of any issues you find in this alpha release please.

    Hey, nice addon, great work.
    I only have one "problem" with this, it's just a question of how I use the ui. I find it disturbing having both a numerical and a visual cooldown on the icon wenn Show Cooldowns is activated. The number covers up the visual and the icon… I'd really like to see the time remaining, für that purpose the visual would suffice for me, and I like to see the icon clearly, since that is how I personally quickly check if there are any doubled totems in the raid. Perhaps you could separate the two cooldown options so that we can activate either the numbers, or the visual, or both, depending on the taste of the user.

    The cooldown numbers will be coming from another addon (I havent got number times in TotemGuru). I know there is at least one addon that will add number timers to the standard blizzard cooldown ui that I use in TotemGuru but I can't remember what it is called as I never use it (for the same reason as yourself)

    Check the other addons you have to see if any of those have options to put numbers on cooldown icons or something like that.

    I will ahve a look at the blizzard ui to see if there is any way to block other addons adding timers but I'm guessing its something I won't be able to do.

    Oops, Stupid me. I have OmniCC running, which is causing the numericals. It only shows on some buttons on a char I hardly play anymore because of the threshhold settings, so I had basically forgotten I have it running. Since I scaled TotemGuru down it was within the threshhold. Thanks for the pointer.

    No problem. Thanks for letting me know its fixed (saves me worrying trying to find problems that arn't there lol)

    I was going to add timers to the icons but decided it wasn't going to look good and with addons like omni its not really worth me doing it.

    Another version has just gone up for the new interface. I will try and get the beta version of the totem assignments up this weekend for you to have a look at. It will be limited in features and niceties though so don't expect too much :D

    I have just put out a release version(awaiting approval at the moment). Please let me know if there are any issues with this as I have now moved the whole thing into a SVN repository.

    I was going to wait to test it more but time is moving on and I want to get out the beta of the addon with totem assignments for testing.

    I have just uploaded V4.4b for testing. This is the pre totem assignment build that has the code in for the totem assignments but currently dissabled. I want to release this as version 5 before I start the release of the totem assignments code.

    Let me know of any problems with this before I make it a release version (don't want a couple of thousand people annoyed at me :D )

    :)

    As of 4.3b the addon has been updated on the ptr. This means that until the patch comes out you will get the 'Addon out of date' message on the addon page. Just select 'Load out of date addons' and all should be fine.

    I've uploaded it as an early beta as there were some API changes I had to make for it to work with the next interface coming out in this patch.

    Great addon! Looked for this type of addon a long time now. And there it was, Like god have sending a angel.
    Only have some things to comment.
    Maybe you should add something so you can lock the window. Maybe I´m the only one in the world who play like a clicker and moving things around =P
    Second thing I would like to see is if the totem casted is improved or not by talents.

    Thanks, I am starting to hear more people liking the addon which is always nice :D Makes it worthwhile doing the updates :P

    And its always good to have new ideas and feedback, thanks.

    The locking window is a good idea, I’ll add that to my list :D I suppose the best option is to use the alt-click method to move the frame so normal clicks wont drag it.

    I’m also just starting work on the pally power style part of the addon. This is going to take a while to sort out properly but when its done I will have also sorted out the inter addon communication. This will then allow future updates like you mentioned (by querying other shamans talents etc).

    I’m hoping to eventually have the addon able to highlight the best totems in the window (so you can see which one you want the buff from in case your out of range etc) and also someway of showing if you have a buff from another source that is making the totem redundant.

    I'm now back into raiding almost full time so the spare time I have is limited but the updates will get done at some point :D

    2 small issues:

    --I've been having a problem since the last version that often times I did not get the player names on the totem window anymore. It would just be blank with the totems listed and no name. It used to be kinda random but now it is all the time.

    --The show/hide for being in raid/party isn't working properly for me. I have it set to show up only in raid and in 5 man grps but I have to manually turn it on and off almost every time.

    Still loving this addon. Thanks for all the time and effort put into it =)

    That's worrying. I'll have a look into that to see if I can reproduce it. Thanks for letting me know (if I don't know I can't fix it :D)

    I've never seen names not appearing myself so not sure what's happening there. I will see if I can reproduce it, maybe its the sizing part making them disappear.

    The on off problem could be with the way it is set up. The hide TotemGuru checkbox on the first page is really a disable button (I'll rename it future to avoid confusion) so it could be that overiding the other settings. Try enabling it first on the first page and then setting the raid checkboxes on the other page to see if that fixes it. I think I need to look at the show/hide functionality as that could be buggy/confusing.

    In the mean time it could be an upgrade issue I missed (where going from one version to the next has confused the saved settings). You can see if it is this by deleting the addons\TotemGuru folder and the saved variables file for the addon in WTF\Account\<accountname>\<realmname>\<playername>\SavedVariables\TotemGuru.lua file and reinstalling it.

    I hate the thought of it not working right. I'll look into it right away to see if I can reproduce the errors.

    btw which version are you using. It should say when you log in (in the chat window) and on the settings page. Just so I can do some tests to check the upgrading of the settings to see it that shows me the error.

    thanks again for the feedback.

    I am using v4.1b, btw

    The problem with the show/hide I think your reply solved. I didn't understand that the checkbox was a disable so the whole allowance thing wasn't working properly. I think it will function as intended now but I will certainly let you know if upon testing it does not.

    The names not showing up is pretty consistant but not 100%. I will see if i can grab a screenshot next time it happens.

    Thanks

    I have renamed that checkbox to 'disable' to avoid confusion in future. I't will go in with the next update :D

    I'm still trying to think what could be the issue with the names. The addon works off the internal combatlog so it should pick up any player in that.

    Reading your description it I’m assuming that no player names ever appear other than your own. So when another player drops totem the icons appear but the name is blank. There is a check to see if the player exists already in before writing the name to screen, I’ll have a look at this code tonight when I get back from work to see if anything is apparently wrong.

    No.. no names appear at all, not even my own. Tonight I did not have that problem and everything worked as intended but it persisted all day yesterday with no names. I wonder if something gets corrupted and a fresh restart fixes it?

    Can you check the alpha settings for your player names to see if that is getting reset to 0.
