Is it me or is the Bars - Grow upwards option not working as should? If I select it I wont see the top of the aggro list anymore but middle or bottom... Took me a while to figure out why I don't see tanks
All-in-all, though, I am really digging this threat meter. I love the target-based threat tracking and such. I am really looking forward to seeing this mature because, while KTM has my love for preventing me from going splat many-a-time, it's kind of limited.
A minor observation is that turning off TPS doesn't seem to do anything overall. It'll turn off that for w/e bars are currently enabled, and for those people it will remain off, but for any aditional bars, it needs to be turned on and off again to disable it. Hardly essential, but I don't really need to see my TPS gain most of the time, and I certianly don't need to see a non-tank's. Hardly more then an asthetic issue really though.

As posted in the "Enter World" lag thread, I suddenly have issues whith my WoW freezing when I have Omen/Threat enabled and log into an AV game / raid.
It was working without problems in 25 man raids and also in 2 full AV games. After that, it suddenly stopped working and my WoW just froze.
Same happened when I was in a Kazzak raid and logged out to enable Omen/Threat (I'm using Threat and PerserLib as embedded libs for Omen, all others libs are seperate). When I tried to relog back in, my WoW froze again, until I disabled Omen/Threat again.
Ahhhh that might be the reason for my crashes in AV this weekend. I will try turning it off, thank you. I'll edit this post if I crash again without Omen/Threat enabled.
Is it possible to add an option turn off omen so it is not displayed when I'm in a raid?
Just don't install it; as long as you have ThreatLib, you'll send threat data to other Omen(/Violation/Recount/Assessment/PitBull/Aloft) users.

I believe I solved the "WoW freezes when you log in" issue earlier last week - it's some kind of bug related to raid update events that was affecting unit frame mods, too. Make sure you're updated and see if it still happens; if so, please give me all the info you can on the crash.
Hey Antiarc, I'm cross-posting from the Recount thread. It seems there's a slight problem with the latest Omen packages and GraphLib. Inside your Libs directory, alongside the Graph-1.0 directory, there should be a GraphTextures directory (provided in the GraphLib package). Without those textures included, I was experiencing an issue where Omen's version of GraphLib was loading first, but the textures were never getting loaded, and thus Recount's graphs were all invisible.
On a side note, Omen is looking great thus far. Keep up the great work.

Well it just freezes. The bar goes through, I see parts of my UI pop up, but not everything. Some SCT events fire (e.g. honorless target) and then it just stops. AG_Unitframes normally doesn't load up completely, as do others (Fubar). CPU load is at 100% (or nearly).
Now, I haven't actually waited until I received a disconnected from server message, but my feeling was that I would have already had a disconnect if it was a "normal" enter world lag (as I had a few before, but quite a long time ago).
I will try with the most recent version tonight and will report back.

I had that too for one day, but it wasn't Omen or Threat.
Another thing:
Threat seems to have problems with KTM's mastertarget. Once set you can only see Threat users on Omen, even if a new mastertarget is set in that combat. Like Magtheridon: target on first Caster, later on Magh. I only see Threat users then.
I like the idea of pullout threat bar. I was only able to get it to show my threat relative to a fixed party member. Is it possible to have one that would show the threat relative to aggro holder of my current target?

The pull out threat bar is really cool.. but it'd be nice if I could pull out the Aggro threat bar rather than a specific person, so especially for fights where tanks swap, I could have a bar that is always relative to whoever is tanking at the moment.
Also, the Aggro bar is updating when the boss retargets for a RSTS ability. Is there any way to avoid this? I'm guessing no, but figured I'd mention it just in case.
Another thought: Is it possible to anchor the right click menu anchor on the top of the window (or if "grow up" is enabled, from the bottom) so I don't have to chase the menu around while people are populating the threat list? :]
As a btw, thanks for implementing the individual bar formatting... has made my threat meter watching much easier.

I found a bug, when I tryed to pull out one of the tank's threat bar. I had a graphical lag when I tryed to do this and the threat bar sticked to my mouse. Then I died and pressed release spirit so the threat bar stayed at a place. After this I changed the color of the bar and resized it a bit. Then the threat bar's tank died and I removed the bar. This error message appeared:
I pressed OK but the error message reappeared until I turned off "Display lua errors" in interface options.

Ok, the newest version fixed the problem.
Although I had a severe lag when I entered the first AV, to the point were I already believed that it wouldn't work again.
Luckily just as I pressed printscreen to make a screenshot of the freeze it continued to load.

I had this issue all weekend. I took me nearly 6 hours of crashes to figure out what was causing it (and trying different variations of mods). I'm down to nearly all ace'd out mods now and have a full custom UI.
That said, I would get random crashes while flying on a gryph or when entering AV. Well, crash is the wrong word - it would be a full lockup but still having access to moving the mouse around. Just turning off Omen didn't fix this...but turning off Threat and Omen did. I've yet to play today, Monday, to see if the updates fixed the issue.
How do I turn off Threat? (is this a lame question? )
I can control only Omen in the addon enable/disable window, however I have a "Threat-1.0" directory in Interface/Addons/Omen/Libs.

I had the exact same behaviour (well, without the gryphon part, I rarely use them). Full lockup but movable mouse.
For me, the new version hasn't 100% fixed the issue. Well ok, the full lockups are gone, but I had a few "almost full" lockups today when entering an AV match. It feels like it is very borderline to a disconnect (5-10 seconds freeze).
So one thing our healers noticed was that if they were targeting the person they are healing (I know get them to use click casting or mouse over targeting macros), they don't see anyone's threat versus the boss since they aren't targeting the boss. Could you change it so they see the threat versus the target of their target if their target is friendly? (Or could it at least be an option?)
I also very much like the pullout threat bar, but there is no way to specify which bar you want to pullout until you are in combat and have bars up? I also was having issues with getting the pullout bar to work at all on my warlock after having tested it earlier on my hunter versus the pet. When I did get a bar up with my warlock, it was for my hunter versus her pet, which was not very useful. I will try to do some more testing to see if I can pin down the bug, but I think there is an issue with setting up a pullout bar on one toon, and not removing it before logging.
