Raid Status Addon

Ruffies · 06/04/07, 4:38 PM

Can anyone direct me to an addon that can tell me the status of the raid (healer mana and other data)? I remember ct-raid having something sort of like this as an option. After digging around I came across a mod called XRaidStatus, but it was said to be incompatible. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated!

XRaidStatus is the win - go grab it from www.wowace.com/files/

Any reason it might say incompatible? Downloaded old version on accident maybe?

Where exactly are you being told that its incompatible?

In the character selection screen. When you click addons to pop up the list of addons in your intereface folder it says incompatible. I'm at work atm though so I can not redownload it from the above links to see if that version/download works.

You probably got a really old version some how. It is still being updated and works just fine. The only issue I have with it is that groupings are no longer so clear cut and therefore for it to be properly setup you almost need to adjust it each raid. Having elemental and enhancement shamans mana show up in the healer mana status doesn't really do much good. Having a way to preset it for your guilds members would really go a long way to making this much more useful again IMO.

Did you click on the load out of date addons box in the upper right hand corner? Sometimes it's just an old mod but will still work with a new game revision.

But it's always slightly inexact anyways. "21% mana" versus "30% mana" across the "healers" isn't that significant a difference.

I haven't really found an issue even with the hybrids, just because the general "do the healing-type classes have mana" "does the raid have HP" "is anyone offline" is still useful information in aggregate.

Just as a point of Clarity:
"Incompatible" means that the addon is from pre-2.0. The game will not think about loading it unless you change the TOC and that is not advised for such addons.
"Out of Date" means it is from a 2.x patch and might work, but you need to click the checkbox.

Above links worked when I installed the mod last night. Appreciate the help!
