You want an addon that takes your guild list, lists the classes of the people in the guild list who are online, and picks up the classes for people's mains when they're playing alts?
He wants an addon that alters the guild UI to sort by "Class of Main" rather than "class of currently logged on character" based on who you (officer) designate as an alt of a main.

See you, auntie.

Now see... That made sense.

I can't think of anything that does that off the top of my head, though it shouldn't be too hard to implement.


Loop through guild list
1. Online?
2. Officer note start with 'ALT'
3. If so, use text after 'ALT - ' in officer note as class, else use character class.
4. Output resulting table in some fashion.


As familiar as I am with coding, I have very little lua experience, but it appears easy enough to write.

Alternatively you can just use the Officer note to specify the persons main, and then look up that characters class.

The only way to do it, without developing an entire mod for this would be the officers' notes. Because how in the heck is an addon going to know which character is the "main"?

e.g. by guild rank named "twink" / "alt" or something similar?

any number of ways would suffice for marking them. Guild rank, public note, officer note, specifying a list in the addon, etc. etc. etc.

Then to get debuffs and buffs where you want them Pit Bull does this really well, you can seperate buffs and debuffs and put them in different areas around the unit frame.
Does Quartz enable you to set up a bar like that for each spell by each person in the party/raid? If so, that would be awesome, and the perfect solution.

Minimap tracking text

I've seen some minimaps that have a text string displayed on the map indicating what's being tracked (like "Herbs"), rather than showing the tracking icon. Anyone know what that is? Can something similar be done for the new mail indicator?

Sorry for being unclear, but yeah, basically I wanted a better overview of classes/mains online and have it sorted visually like the Guild List on Armory.

What!?

You guys were not to clear earlier on what this mod was. I'm leaning towards Pitbull, but I am not sure. Here is the screen shot with the 2 mods I am interested in circled in red. Im just looking to get those addons and nothing else. The rest of my UI is fine. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

A rogue friend of mine had made a video a while back (naxx times) which showed his combo points as small hearts. Anyone know if this is still around/working and what its called?

I'd say Statusbars and NECB

Recently saw a newer bag mod that allowed searching and viewing of all Server "character" inventory.

What is this mod?

Statusbars and Antagonist. NECB does not track self buffs like that, or at least it doesn't to my knowledge.

more than likely was probably discord art with a custom texture... Not 100% sure how you'd go about changing it now (maybe look into pitbull and replacing the combopoint texture in there)

Most bagmods will do this. Bagnon I know for a fact will.

Sanity2 (Ace2) does this also without being a bag replacement. Not to be confused with SanityBags.

See you, auntie.

I know I've seen it before but not sure which mod is responsible for it. I'm looking for something that will move the default tooltip location from the bottom right-hand corner of the screen to another location on screen.

TinyTip or CowTip

Cowtip a tooltip mod has an option for this. If you want to do it with a whole tooltip mod i think moveanything or visor2 can handle this.

Well I don't know if this exists but I've been browsing looking for it, is there a mod that automatically heals the target of your target if hes hostile and just plain heals the person if hes friendly? Pretty sure it could be accomplished by turning everything in a conditional macro but a mod would be so much nicer, in the event that it doesnt exist anyone know what the macro would like per chance?

Much appreciated.

Last time I checked Visor2 couldn't handle tooltip locations correctly.

Does it meanwhile?

I'm not in game, so I can't verify this, but it would be somewhere along the lines of this:

/cast [help] Greater Heal
/cast [harm] [target=targettarget] Greater Heal

Not quite sure what you mean. If you mean a bar next to each persons name in the party/raid frames no, the bar from Quartz as far as I know only applies to your target or your focus so you would only ever see HoT's tracked on them. If you wanted a mod for tracking multiple people I always just used a mod called HotCandy(ace mod), just gives you a bar with the spell name and a countdown for each hot you cast then put it near my target frame to make it easy to read.

The way I saw someone say they accomplished this way by using the Fubar mod called tTracker, which just gives you text for what you're tracking on your fubar, then make a new fubar panel with no other fubar mods but tTracker active then just place and lock it in a position so that it's over your minimap.
