Kavan: If you can get me examples of what those messages look like, I'd appreciate it. Sounds like a bug and example data should let me know what's going on.

There are a number of outstanding issues remaining, and I'm stamping them out as fast as I can, but it's not a very quick process. Just please keep reporting bugs and stack traces and screenshots as you get them, and I'll get them fixed up ASAP.

 

Nitouryu

Sorry about that, I should have read more carefully. I can see how that would be extremely annoying.

 

Mikari

I've noticed that Omen doesn't seem to stay where you put it. As in I'll position the window and lock it and then after a relog a little later on the window has moved higher up the screen on it's own.

Could we get the ability to change the order of the columns and column titles back also, and as others have said the ability to not have the window appear when we have our pet out when solo.

 

Marroc

No worries, the way I had worded it originally was rather ambiguous. Here's hoping for a fix though.

 

Krag

Today on raid Omen felt quite accurate - apart from Gurtogg where we had all kinds of strange happenings, from tanks not showing up to other people having twice the threat of the tanks according to Omen. It occurred right from the start too and not just after insignificance buffs or anything like that. Weird thing is that those of us that didn't show up while tanking showed up just fine on the trash we did after and on RoS.

Edit: Your great and hard work on Omen is very much appreciated, Antiarc.

How do I force a threat reset on Omen2?
I see the command "function ThreatLib:_clearAllThreat()" is in omen, how do I execute it manually?

 

topojijo

I updated Omen to 66721 and it no longer shows my pet with a name, simply shows it as <unknown>.

Doing Kara right now, I noticed on Nightbane he doesn't drop aggro like he used to. Using 66693

epiphenom

I'd like to know this as well. To clarify the problem, pet threat is not resetting correctly on Brutallus, and the first taunt is completely disrupting the chart.

 

Ghiest

All kinds of messed up in Hyjal

Trash, you would be the only person on the list ... most of the bosses we couldn't even see the main tanks ect.

 

Malan

Threat 1.0 became non-backwards compliant about a day ago. If your raiders had not updated since Thursday none of them will show up on Omen. Force everyone to do a fresh install or update on WAU.

Morningstar

Omen2 does not reset aggro between the different Phases (P3>P4 or P4>P5) in the german (DE) Client. Is there a way to reset aggro by myself? /omen reset does not work.

Sorry for my bad english.

/edit: Remove Signing, sorry.

 

• Intermission

Just a quick request list, apologies if these have been mentioned and noted already by the author:

• Option to re-colour your own bar, or even make it larger/glow/flash/etc.
• Same option as above, but for the current tank of the mob (or maybe even a pre-set person?)
• In lieu of colouring the maintank or yourself, could the "drag out a bar" feature be brought back? The bar that compared your own threat with a set raid member.
• A self TPS meter on the title menu.
• An abstract one: I remember the old Omen being able to right-click on bars to do things such as re-colour, ignore, compare, etc. If this is brought back to Omen2 (please!), maybe add a button that "freezes" the bar positions until you click it again. So mid-fight while bars are moving around you can freeze the bars and do things like: right click on a broken pet and ignore it, or drag a comparison bar out.

A quick bug list too:

• I noticed last night was a few <Unknown> members, presumably pets?
• Occasionally a bar would be "behind" another one. For example, the list of threat bars would be as normal, but you could see one bar behind the others and it didnt look like it belonged to anyone. Switching to another mode, then back to single target mode seemed to fix many graphical or missing bars errors. (eg on Illidan, no bars would appear until I changed it to Overview mode and then back to Single Target)

Overall though, once the raid had updated through WAU, most threat values seemed accurate. And if it wasnt accurate, it was obvious it was wrong, which is at least a good thing. EG 6000 TPS, or MD not being picked up.


Thanks for your time re-writing and updating this mod mate! Much appreciated.

I'm not exactly sure as to how I should be using "aoe mode". I switched to it for a pull or 2 in magisters terrace, which is almost entirely aoe pulls, but I didn't see a single bar appear in that mode.

Only real problems we've had with omen the last few days is it refusing to reset threat values on a few fights during phase changes. namely leo, and hydross. I've had a few times where it was showing me well below the tanks and pulling aggro. Also Omen seems to just flake the hell out at times. Will go into a loop every 2 seconds going from showing correct threat values, to hugely inflated values for a few people. which is really annoying if you hve the sound turned on. Only place i could get it to repeat every time was phase 1 zul'jin. it would be fine after he switched to bear form.

 

• promdates

I was able to duplicate this issue on Zul'jin tonight. Also, the threat wipes between phases weren't taking place still. We figured it might have been due to people not having up to date, so we told everyone to go update and it kept repeating.

This. I'm still unsure how to get the AoE part of Omen to work properly. Actually, even setting MT targets with Blizzard/oRA2, can't get the Healer mode to work either. And Overview just really weird and buggy it seems, even if we only have one mob, it'll still show people at 100% of mob threat.

rikikin

The only problem we r having with omen2 is the amount of memory it uses last nigh in our hyjal run it hoggd up 15mb of my memory making my my fps drop from 20 --> 1 and as soon as i turned omen off it went back to 20fps again :S...

Looking here for some input what the probllem is i have installed it 4times and used all kinds of methods from fresh to fix and WaU to direct zip and nothing seems to be working.

I'd like to add the following request to Intermission's post:

an option to turn off border flash (or make the option to turn it off more obvious).

 

Renaud

You can turn off the border flash (and the WOOOSH sound at 90% threat) via the Settings page.

Go to Modules (and click the little + to the right)
Single Target Mode (Again, the +)
Warnings

Enable Sound = the Fel Nova WOOSH
Enable Screen Flicker (or something equally obvious) (Disable this to turn off the red glowing)

Also turning the warnings to show in your Scrolling Combat Text is here, and its hawt!

 

JoeBravo

I have been in that option screen numerous times allready, but can't remember having ever seen the screen flicker option.
So either it isn't there, or I'm turning completely blind.
But I'll check again this evening.

Edit: Either it got added after the last time I looked, or I'm blind indeed.

 

• Daboran

I suspect that not all of our raid has updated Omen and Threat 2.0 to the latest build yet, but as of yesterday Gurtogg was still pretty borked.

My and the other tanks' indicated threat was intermittently not dropping on knockback/disorient. Also one of our Warrior tanks didn't show up at all until he actually got aggro through a couple of stuns/knockbacks on myself/other Warrior.

We are experienced with the fight now and we made it anyway but I pity anyone learning this at the moment.

 

Antiarc

Thanks for the report. I'm working hard to track down what's causing this, and will hopefully have it stamped out and running lean and mean quickly.

Sorry for my lack of comprehensive replies here, folks. I'm up to my eyeballs in stuff to reply to, and while I'm reading all of it, I just don't have a whole lot of time to reply to everything! Please keep the reports up - they're immensely valuable.

 

Caven

Currently my guild is having troubles with Omen on Brutallus, which resulted in some agro pulls. The first attempt after the trash it works fine, after that it seems to reset back to the status after the 1st attempt.

Is there a way to make Omen fully reset after these attempts, should help us with our attempts. We have some people holding back at the start now, which partly explains why we don't have the needed DPS yet.

 

wind

From our MH raid last night:

- threat not displaying correctly on Teron. Even after I made everyone log off and update their Omen, we still had issues. The tank's threat bar simply disappeared in the middle of the kill, or didn't pop up at all during some of the tries.
- an error that I didn't have time to screenshot, every time I would soulshatter. It was something about adding a value to a nil one.
- Gorefiend threat display seems weird, in the way Daboran and Krag described.
- on our Kalecgos attempts last thursday, I would sometimes see (while dpsing the dragon) the threat of people in the demon's chamber. Considering that particular display was intermittent and would not happen each try, I guess it's not intended behavior?

Thanks for the awesome work Antiarc. I bet you hate patch days

 

Antiarc

I resolved multiple issues surrounding this concern tonight. A raid update should make things a lot more usable.

I believe I resolved this one tonight.

I did resolve this one tonight.

Correct. This was related to the Brutallus issue, and should have been resolved. If you continue to see it, please let me know ASAP.

Patch days aren't so bad. Releasing an entirely new product to a massive audience without comprehensive testing and huge expectations? Nightmare. I'm doing my best to live up to 'em.
