WHAT'S THAT MOD??? - Page 16

its kinda like a heat-map, if that helps.
it kinda reminds me of the proximity sensor that they used in the Aliens movies.
it kinda looked like a rectangular spider web, with the sectors of the web colored in.

regrettably, i can't remember where i saw it; it was either in 4FM/KZ kill shots, or it may have even been in like, vash/kael/illidan shots... when i first saw it, i thought "wow, thats awesome, if i were running raids, i would deftinately want that, good thing im just lowly guild peon".... low and behold, im running our guilds gruul runs now, and i can't find the mod or the screenshot.

does anyone have clue as to what im talking about? did i hallucinate the whole thing?

More than likely, if such an addon existed there would be no way for it to run inside of an instance (at least not accurately) due to the lack of coords supplied to the game client.

If you're looking for a proximity meter for shatters however, a bunch of those DO exist (BigWigs has one for example).

Those won't give you direction, but they give you a list of people within range (or as close to perfect as it can get). The reason those types of mods work is because they use the range check on items or spells to figure out relative distance between you and a person. The downside to such a system however, is you get a boolean response... They're either in range, or they're not.

Which, in the case of Gruul, is really all you need. Either someone is within 15 yards and you're going to damage someone, or they're not. Although there was some talk awhile ago about adding communication to Cyrect's(?) GPS lib to do something to the effect of adding icons with exact locations to the minimap, or other dynamically created window.

yah, i was thinking that would be the major difficulty. i could have sworn i saw it, but i must have been mistaken.

yes; we make great use of the distance checker packaged with deadly boss mods. the thing is... many of our raiders *know* they're in trouble, because they see that there are 6 people standing around them... but they don't know which way to run. so, all six of them end up running... directly at each other. o.O

i thought it was just a l2p issue, bt it turns out that its much more to do with lag, crap computers, etc... folks don't neccisarily see eveyrone around them, so they pick a direction at random and hope no one is actually there.

i guess the mod i'm looking for doesn't exist; oh well. tnx anyway.

Some quick advice on Gruul shatter:

Healers stay put. Everyone moves away. Ranged Stay against the walls, and hopefully in the rocks behind gruul to minimize where they go flying.

Rogues can cloak off the slowing effect and thus should never be doing more than 1k shatter damage to people.

Druids can barkskin every shatter as well, and that will help mitigate some of the damage.

If you need more help I'd be happy to discuss it with you over PMs.

/end derail

If you can find me a screenshot of the addon I can try to hunt it down for you, but more than likely it's an old pre 2.0 mod and no longer works.

i am looking for an addon that would shot me my average dps and my burst dps... i know things like swstats can be set to shot your dps but i am looking for somethign that would show it on as a separate bar

If you have FuBar and Violation you can set it to show DPS on text, then move the FuBar around as you wish, it would in essence be separate.

tehfatest · 07/30/07, 11:33 PM

well that doesn't seem to be it ... the mod i am talking about looks like this

Marieth · 07/31/07, 6:08 AM

That is Recount (even one of the topp threads, hell even the title is called "A Graphical Damage Meter").
Well nevertheless here you go: Recount - A Graphical Damage Meter/Raid Analysis Tool

tehfatest · 07/31/07, 6:51 AM

ahh ty i currently have recount but i think i downloaded a bad version it doesn't seem to really want to work for me lol the numbers always seem to be way off compared to damage meters like swstats

That would probably be due to the fact that it's a VERY early beta addon. They're still having a lot of problems with accuracy.

Not completely on topic, but I was wondering if any1 can link a site or point me in the right direction for eepanels options. I have been playing aroung with it for a while but can't seem to figure out how to designate specific colors, or apply gradient.

And another random nOObish question, where do i download fonts and how do I apply it. Have been playing with AddOns for years but never actually did this.

Thnks

applying gradients requires you to think outside of the box.....depending on what direction you want the gradient. I just did trial and error

Font changes are typically done with ClearFont2. In some caes you can also just use SharedMedia if the addon supports it to change the font for that one addon.

Hi There,

This has probably already been answered but I did a search, and looked through a lot of the pages here and couldn't find it, well couldn't find an answer at least, so I'm going to ask. =)

Looking for totem mods.

Would like to know which totems I have down, along with their time frame left.
Which totems enemies have down, including if possible an announcement on screen saying something like, grounding totem down or whatever.

Apart from that, a mod that helped me or cure poisons/diseases would be good, I know a guildy of mine said he could right click a friendly targets portrait and it would decurse, I can't remember its name though. Do you know if a similar thing is available for PvP?

And finally a mod that shows me the buffs/debuffs on other characters, its easy enough running around purging ppl, but most of the time the GCD could be better used on someone/thing else, and if I knew what buffs were up, I would save me some wasted time/dps in arena's.

Thanks heaps. =)

WoWInterface Downloads : Clique Can help you with that, it's a surprising good addon.

I saw a screenshot in the "Post your UI"-Thread earlier today and saw something I'd really be interested in.
I'm refering to the cooldown mod in this image (red circle):

(taken from Issues' screenshot in the "Post your UI"-Thread)

For right now I am using CoolDownTimers2, but I can't get used to the candybars. I'd much rather just have the apropriate icon with the duration of the cooldown show just like in the above screenshot.

The question is: Which mod is that?
Any help greatly appreciated!

koaschten · 08/01/07, 3:43 AM

Far guess, extra bar with OmniCC

Retta · 08/01/07, 5:03 AM

For timers on totems and when they are about to run out I use shamanspy from wowace.com

Fithvael · 08/01/07, 5:24 AM

Looks like Cooling.

I use Yata (Yet another totem addon) on my shamman and absolutely love it. As far as enemy totems, I can't think of an addon off to top of my head, but if you turn on nameplates I believe they show up.

For poison/disease cleansing, my raid group typically uses a combination of clique (for mouse based casting) and grid for raid frames and status (this works really well if you can get used to the unorthodox style of grid).

I use NECB (Natur's Enemy Cast Bar) for tracking enemy casts (including big buffs like BoP and such). Just shut off 'casts' and turn on 'show all gains.'

Everything except Clique and NECB can be found on WowAce downloads Clique and NECB should both be on World of Warcraft Downloads, Forums, Addons, Videos, and Screenshots | World of Warcraft @ Curse.com

It does, but the bar styles don't match, and I don't see an option in Cooling to change it.

Slash · 08/01/07, 10:42 AM

I'm looking for a mob similar to Discord Art, which can be used to add textures to the UI. Something less memory-intensive and still supported/updated would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

Sunquan · 08/01/07, 9:31 PM

I've used a mod called Jubei's AEP on my alt rogue quite a bit and found it very useful. I was wondering if there was a mod similar to this however that had customizable values for stats.

For example, if I was playing on my priest, obviously Agility does very little for me when selecting gear, but it would be very convienient if I could assign a value for each point of Int, Stam, Spi, +Heal, and M/5 and then have the mod calculate a value for each item I wanted to compare to my current piece.

I know there are similar mods to AEP out there, such as Tankpoints and Healpoints for classes other than rogues, but they don't seem to have the customization features that I am looking for.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

righ · 08/01/07, 9:47 PM

I'm looking for mod that would either delete poor quality items from bags or prevent me from auto looting them. In example I farm SFK for twink gear, after few dozen mobs I'm full with grey crap. Any addon that could help me?
