WHAT'S THAT MOD??? - Page 93

Zumra · 12/13/07, 2:52 AM

I was watching a video of Zul'Jin to see what all my friends fuss was about when i noticed this addon the mage had...
I cant seem to screenshot it, it comes up as a black screen so if you could spare the time you only have to watch the first 30 seconds of the movie to see it in action.
It looks like scrolling combat text, but much different, "7014 Flamestrike(5 Hits, 2 Crits)" that is the sort of thing i am looking for.
Thank you for taking the time to read this
Anguish downs Zul'jin - AOL Video Heres the link

That's Parrot.

That's Parrot. "It'll eat your crackers. Caw." You can get the latest version from this link here to wowinterface.com - Parrot or by using the WoW Ace Updater.

Also there is Mounts: Flying and Mounts (which oddly enough doesn't include flying), but there is no "all mounts". Yet my mage HAS that button, I can't get it on any of my alts and I've used every single selection on "New Button"

Anyway. All I want is a button bar, resizable, that i can "stack" rollover bars on. I want it to LOOK and WORK like AutoBar...I don't even mind placing the icons into the bars manually.

Also, I just noticed that I have an Autobar config mod, maybe my beef is with that rather than the mod itself. Any ideas?

I use bongos for my regular bars but haven't figured out how to make them do any popups or anything.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

The autobar author went through some large rewrites of the config system. And very rarely made them backwards compatible. Update it to the latest version. And then while WoW is closed, remove your autobar saved variables files out of your WTF profile directory.
There have been a few revisions of autobar online that were seriously screwed. Most issues have been fixed though, and it works better than ever for me now.

I'm looking for two different addons...

1) I'm currently using Bartender3, and I want to be able to have a different bar-setup for when I respec (for example on my druid I want to have a saved setup for feral and resto). I've tried using the Profiles in Bartender itself, but these don't seem to work (although maybe I'm just doing something wrong!)

2) I saw a screenshot somewhere of a raid leader (using what looked like an addon-automated output) posting to /ra the people with only one elixir and without a Well Fed buff. I had an addon previously that tracked elixirs (ElixirPoints possibly?), but I'm especially interested in tracking Well Fed.
For bonus points, I would also be able to save the state of the raid's elixir/food usage to a file for future examination.
Edit: I found the screenshot of the buff tracking - Elixir/Well Fed tracking

Edit again:
3) Thought of another nice addon I saw somewhere - it modified the loot frames and had a "Link All" button (for presumably linking all the items in /ra".

Thanks in advance for the help!

This can be achieved by explicitly setting a bar for each stance (or in the druid's case: form). For the main action bar (actionbar1) you can accomplish the same thing by binding keys that will swap the contents of a preferred setup into that bar's slots. I don't mean a regular paging modifier --that would require you to hold it down-- such as shift or ctrl, but rather something bound that you'd only need to hit once to swap the bar. It may be the best you'll get from BT3 or Bongos.

Check out Prescription (wowace.com - Prescription) and see if that has what you need. It should.

I have that one, it's xloot (wowace.com - xloot) and it's very convenient.

Since your provided only a Screenshot for Number 2 i can only guess for the other stuff.

1) Different Profiles working like a charm for me.

2) That should be BigBrother

3) That's hard without a Screenshot but i think it's Xloot

That would get me part of the way to where I want to go I think - however when I respec back and forth I want the spells/abilities to not get lost (ie when I spec from feral->resto->feral I want something that will still have Mangle in the right place when I get it back)

Different Profiles working like a charm for me.

Maybe I'll have to try them again - I realise this isn't a Bartender problems thread, but what I tried to do was use the Copy Profile thing from my base profile to two separate profiles (Feral and Resto) and then modified each of them as I wanted; changes to one also changed the other, though.

Check out Prescription (wowace.com - Prescription) and see if that has what you need. It should.

Thanks, I'll take a look at both!

Thanks, will take a look at that one too :-)

The "mangle is not at the right spot after a respec"-problem is rather related to blizzard storing the bottom left, bottom right, top left, top right bar server-side afaik. Starting with a cleared bar, using only bars 5-10 should resolve that problem, though i never tried. You would have to setup shifting states, stance bars etc manually though.

If it works for you, it would be great to know. I might go through the hassle with my shadowpriest then

The buff monitoring mod is Big Brother in that screenshot.
The loot mod you are talking about is XLoot.

Both can be found on wowace.

This is maybe too hackish for you, but you could get around Mangle going away when you respec by creating a macro for it and putting it in the slot. If you have the macro slots available, that's most likely the simplest way to avoid losing your keys, since the macro won't cease to exist just because the skill isn't in your spellbook.

Just do a simple
#showtooltip Mangle(Bear)
/cast Mangle(Bear)

Or whatever the actual skill name is.

I'm looking for a mod that'll detect if a Windfury Totem has been dropped by a shaman in the group. I've only seen mods so far that watch the timers for totems for the shaman that casted them and spell alert mods that only detect hostile casts.

Probably not going to find a mod that does that. You can do one of two things that I can think of though. You can have the shaman in question (I'm assuming you're concerned that he's not dropping Windfury often enough?) macro his windfury totem so that it sends you a /tell or announces in party/raid that he's got the totem down. The totem itself doesn't do a gain on the party, but it does send a chat message of "Shaman performs Windfury Totem V" that you could hand edit a mod to look for.
