Big Brother is watching you - Page 3

Mine is working fine, however when I do a flask check it (logically) only shows people with flasks, but since flasks=elixir would there be a way to make it report who doesn't have either a flask or a defensive/offensive elixir?

An all in one check would really complete this mod for post 2.1.

Something like this maybe.

No consumables:
1 Elixir:
2 Elixirs:
Flask:

Hi Cryect,
I really love your Addon BigBrother, but i have a last request if you can !!
can you make a new version for the FRENCH Client ? i will hope you reading me !!

Let me say thx for this a lot !!

Varesz · 07/09/07, 6:00 AM

When I use misdirection on a tank the addon often writes twice who does MD and who got MD. It's not very bad tho,but when we have 2-3 hunters in the raid it becomes annoying.

Optikalusion · 07/09/07, 8:09 AM

This addon is helpful, thanks for developing it. Few things:

Flask of Distilled Wisdom is not included in the check.
Is it possible to save the frame positioning? It resets between each session

And yeah, a report to officer/raid chat who isn't flasked would be awesome.

Thessaly · 07/10/07, 11:54 AM

Here's a quick and dirty fix for checking for elixirs as well as flasks.

In the BigBrother.lua file, there's a variable which contains a list of buffs for the flaskcheck functionality. It's near the beginning of the file, so it's pretty easy to find. You can just add the buffs you want to check to that list in the same format if you want to use it to check for elixirs as well. You just need to be careful to get the name of the buff as it appears on the character (Major Agility for Elixir of Major Agility, for example).

This is what we use, and while it doesn't ensure that everyone is using two elixirs, it does tell us what Battle Elixirs they're using.

local buffs = {
	"Flask of Arcane Fortification",
	"Chromatic Resistance",
	"Distilled Wisdom",
	"Flask of Fortification",
	"Flask of Mighty Restoration",
	"Flask of Relentless Assault",
	"Flask of Shadow Fortification",
	"Supreme Power",
	"Flask of the Titans",
	"Supreme Power of Shattrath",
	"Fortification of Shattrath",
	"Mighty Restoration of Shattrath",
	"Relentless Assault of Shattrath",
	"Major Agility",
	"Major Shadow Power",
	"Major Firepower",
	"Major Frost Power",
	"Elixir of Mastery",
	"Healing Power",
	"Major Strength",
	"Adept's Elixir",
	"Onslaught Elixir",
}

Thanks for the add on, it does its job nicely, however I have two requests. The first of these is the ability to display the addon when you log in. I know it's only a small thing but it would be nice to be implemented. My second request would be for the add on to remember its location and size the next time the add on is loaded.

Mem · 07/18/07, 8:11 AM

Perhaps I'm just to dumb to find the function but is there a way to broadcast the missing buffs to the raid (I know this is possible for consumables). Some of our raiders use Xraid Status for this but I would prefer if I could just post them via BigBrother which is a very nice addon

Mieheg · 07/29/07, 10:39 AM

I know that it was already asked, but is there any chance that we will see this mod working for another client, then the english client ?
If not, are there any mods who do almost the same and are working with the german client ?

BigBrother:
- Add localization support

Looks like it was added yesterday. For now it seems like there is just Korean support, but it shouldn't be too hard for someone to add other languages.

• Cryect · 07/31/07, 10:53 AM

BTW I just want to confirm I'm not currently working on the addon in case anyone else wants to take it up. Recount is taking up most my time I've that I can spend towards coding which probably isn't a surprise.

Valjean · 07/31/07, 5:11 PM

I updated Bigbrother through WAU a few days ago and have been getting the following error message:

\Interface\AddOns\BigBrother\BigBrother.lua:15:Cannot find a library instance of Babble-Spell-2.2

I tried manually downloading it from wowace.com to no avail. I'm guessing this means there's either a glitch with the packaged library of Babble or there's some sort of conflict brought on by another mod.

When I load up with JUST BB, I get his message:

Interface\Addons\BigBrother\localization_koKR.lua:1 Cannot find a library instance of AceLocale-2.2.

What are some steps I could take to try and resolve this?

• frmorrison · 08/01/07, 10:54 AM

Do have have Babble-Spell 2.2? Bable has like 10 different folders in the package. Try downloading Babble with externals.

AceLocale-2.2 should be part of Babble, so once you fix that the addon should be working.

Valjean · 08/01/07, 11:44 AM

I don't have a separate folder for just Babble if that's what you're asking. Any instance of Babble I have is pre-packaged with mods.

Are you suggesting I download just the Babble library by itself and install it in my addons folder?

Or should I just downloaded Babble and replace the 2.2 library that's pre-packaged with Big Brother?

Inara · 08/07/07, 11:39 AM

Is there a way to see who combat looted?

◊ Praetorian · 08/10/07, 5:37 PM

Would it be possible to include reporting who breaks Shackle as well as Polymorph? This comes up a lot in Hyjal.

Celandro · 08/13/07, 1:17 PM

Recount tracks shackle breaks as well as poly breaks. Checked it last night in Kara.

• Valoran · 08/13/07, 1:24 PM

Personally I found CCBreaker (wowace) to be fantastic for tracking any CC breaking at all (trap, sheep, shackle, hibernate and sap). Both from people using abilities and just plain timers running out.

Zephriel · 08/14/07, 1:08 AM

Neat mod. I've been having an odd problem with it, though.

It seems that I never receive notification of a broken polymorph unless I'm within 30-40 yards of the mob, even though my combat log (all categories) is set to 200 yards. I'm pretty sure none of my other mods are altering those log settings. Is there any way to fix this problem?

(Just in case it has any bearing on mod function, I don't use /focus macros to polymorph.)

If this mod is still undergoing changes, one option I'd love to see is the ability to announce broken polymorphs in the form of raid warnings instead of chat log messages.

• Treibh · 09/12/07, 10:40 PM

It seems BigBrother was looking for a maintainer, so I've committed a few changes to the mod that I made at the request of our GM and some of the people who posted in this thread as well.

Flaskcheck now checks for elixirs and will let you know who has one or two elixirs. It also checks to see who does not have a food buff.

If people have other suggestions I can look in to them.

Touf · 09/13/07, 2:56 AM

Can you add a whisper option for FlaskCheck?

◊ Malan · 09/18/07, 12:07 AM

This mod really really needs an option to send to private channel and Whispers.

• Treibh · 09/18/07, 3:25 PM

I added whispers last night. If you update you should be able to do:

/bb flaskcheck whisper

and it will send a tell to your current target. I can add private channels as well - I'll look in to that over the next couple of days.

I was more thinking on something more automised. I could just as well make a /tt "You need to buff up!" macro for this (/telltarget).

Is it possible to make it so that when you click on someones name in BB, you send them a whisper stating what consumables they are/not using?

Thanks, I must have missed that update before my raid started. I assume that this will be in the drop down menu as well? (For those of who despise console commands?)

@Vorda - I was viewing the Whisper as more of a method of reporting to someone else, ie - an officer. My GM isn't able to run many mods because of his system, so I run recount/BB and just feed him info, although I am not an officer. My problem was that I had no way to report info to him in a private manner.
