Big Brother is watching you

Cryect · 03/26/07, 2:09 AM

Plugging my new addon that I think at least a few people here will be interested in.

Big Brother is an addon that allows for easy viewing of flask/elixir usage and buffs on your raid. It also alert you to who breaks polymorphs (unfortunately shackles aren't so easy). Its basically an addon designed to make sure quickly that your raid is actually fully buffed, as well alert you to various actions that might be causing issues.

All commands are accessed via /bb or /bigbrother

Also if you have any other Big Brother like activities that would make sense to add that you please suggest them

That looks really awesome. Ill definitely give it a run out tonight.

Is it possible to set it to see if a warlock has a banish running? IE in a pull where theres 2 locks, 2 things to banish, 1 thats banished and 1 thats spanking healers. Could be very useful for shouting at people!

Not exactly, you can get messages for when people start to cast banish but when a banish goes off you don't know who actually got it. Best you can do is try to guess and sounds like it is worth adding.

This means though in situations where 2 banishes are trying to go on the same target you can't determine for sure but you can make an educated guess at least.

Does it/can it track Earth Shield charges on people as part of the buff tracking?

Re the banish thing, some sort of timer since warlock X cast banish (if that's possible) would probably serve the purpose of determining which warlock hasn't re-banished.

I'll give it a try out next weekend's raids and see what it's like (and point it out to the leaders of our other Kara raid, since they go earlier in the week).

Getting a parserlib error. Deleted the polymorph bits and its working now.

This looks good, I'm going to test this out in Karazhan tonight, and then I can take it to Gruul tomorrow (we're going for our first kill, and I really want to track consumeable usage).

Slightly offtopic, is your IMBA boss mod still being updated Cryect? I have a version I downloaded a while ago (from Curse I think), which is 2.0 compatible but has R&J as the only TBC boss mod. I really like the way it displays information, and it would be cool to get an updated version if there is one.

Getting another error now that Im actually in a raid.

"attempt to compare two table values"

Cryect · 03/26/07, 2:30 PM

Strange, could you be a little more specific on the errors. I run with buggrabber so often end up missing them. Basically I just need to know what file and line number

Hmm, lets say kinda I've just not released anything since haven't had a chance to niceify everything.

I really want to sit down and completely rewrite IMBA for a 2.0 version just need to come up with a standard of how I want to handle things first.

It doesn't but it could though its not really intended for use along those lines. I think I personally would just set Grid to show who has Earth Shield though no way to track how many charges though.

The parser lib was line 4 and line 191 (where it called the parser lib)

The other one doesnt give a line error or anything only get it when Im in raid.
When Im playing alone it works fine (but no point then).

Cryect · 03/26/07, 4:41 PM

Hmm strange you running with externals included (or get the zip I linked)?

Might have messed up the externals again though I thought they were working fine when I tested. Just sounds like Parserlib 1.1 isn't installed for you.

Durza · 03/26/07, 5:17 PM

I use standalone libraries.

Im 100% sure I have parserlib. Update daily as well.

I tried with embedded same error.

Erongg · 03/26/07, 5:17 PM

Check your PMs please Cryect!

Strange :-/

Do you know what triggers the error message exactly? Just tested with my mage and only Big Brother running with embedded libraries and it seems to work fine and couldn't get an error to trigger.
