Very nice mod, just started using today and its been what I've looked for. Managed to increase its font size by doing a find and replace on the (font, 11) code in core.lua changing it to 13, its probably my ui scale that made it look too small in the first place.

Stupid question, but what is the T at the top of Demon for? Doesn't appear to serve any purpose while applying debuffs on mobs in my testing, and wondered if it could be hidden?

Can anyone confirm that duplicate debuffs are being counted properly? There were complaints about demo roar being psuhed off today despite me never seeing more than 36 debuffs up (mostly between 25-33 debuffs). I ask because it does have problems displaying wether same-named-but-different debuffs are up.

T is for target, F is for focus - shows which mob the list of debuffs is for.

I prefer DebuffFilter Since it leaves less visual spam on my screen. The colored bars, text, etc I find are much harder to digest than the icons I am used to looking at on the mob anyhow.

The screenshot doesn't show it but for debuffs you place on the target you have the option of the standard "picture radial timer" that debuffs do by default.

This mod is out of date, however (though it still works and I have had no issues). Perhaps another fine question is can Demon work in a mode similar to this? A maintained and updated mod that duplicates this display method would be awesome.

I'm still failing to get Mangle added to the debuff list, using the following:
Mangle
mangle
Mangle (Bear)
Mangle (Cat)
Mangle (Bear)()
Mangle (Cat)()

Any suggestions on how to add it?

TellMeWhen can do this, but doesn't have timer functionality (yet).

Has anyone taken the time to update this with the new debuff system? If needed I could compile a list of debuffs that are raid essential and stack.

Yeah. I don't know anything about how to update mods, but I love this mod and some fixes would be really useful. I know for instance there's the new pali judgement that has the same effect as thunderclap. But the mod isn't programmed to pick it up, so as a tanking warrior, it's annoying not knowing if I need to debuff or not.

Just to ask, is there an lich king updated version floating around somewhere?

I know its not a updated Demon, but i am currently using Utopia - Addons - Curse and liking it a lot.

the raid comp tool @ mmo has a fairly up to date list of important debuffs.

there are a few alternates floating about including:

smarty
debuffenough

and as mentioned above utopia.

My opinion is that debuffenough is most similar to demon, however like most of these addons early beta.

Although I'm not really a programmer anymore, and absolutely ignorant of LUA programming, by having a look inside the Demon code and with some educated guesswork I managed to extend its functionality so a few new debuffs are tracked and displayed as equivalent (Infected Wounds, Ebon Plaguebringer, Icy Touch, etc) to the new ones.

If enough people care I guess I could repackage it and make it available, but I'm not even sure I didn't miss anything major.

One noteworthy item is unfortunately the Paladin version of Thunderclap debuff - Judgements of the Just. It doesn't appear in the mob debuff lists anywhere, as far as I know - it's just an additional effect whenever any judgement is applied by a prot paladin, and the tooltips don't help either.

If anyone figured out how the hell this could be tracked, I'd be most obliged and would try to include the functionality.

--edit:
Just a thing before someone points it out - I already know this mod is considered obsolete, but I just happen to like it, and not like any replacements I've since run into. Thus my effort to keep it usable.

I think the main issue with DebuffEnough was that (as far as I could tell) the main UI was just a colored box. I'll give the new version another whirl, but I really need to be able to tell at a glance (no mouseover) what's missing so I can yell at the raid.

Demon did this perfectly.

I agree completely with the Demon comments. I especially appreciated the tiny amount of screen space that it took up while providing 100% of the information needed. I'm still working with DebuffEnough, but initially it seems to just be using too much space for the function it provides.

As some might know, Smarty is being continued as AuraHud on wowace.
WoW AddOns - AuraHUD - WowAce.com
It slightly occupies more space on my screen than Demon ever did, but it's extremely customizable and works very well.

I pretty much finished fixing Demon so current debuffs (except Judgments of the Just, the Protadin Thunderclap) are tracked. I'll package and make it available later this evening (Central European time).

I reshuffled a couple debuffs around (CoR is no longer a debuff of its own but it shares the same slot as Faerie Fire and Sting in the display).
AP Reduction, Attack Speed Reduction, Major Armor reduction, Minor Armor Reduction, Magic Damage Increase, Bleed Increase are covered, including the new Death Knight, Moonkin, Exotic Pet equivalents (I managed to test most except the pet ones). Frost Fever (DK Icy Touch effect, thx to Sparogh for pointing it out) appears as a single "F" in the attack speed reduction, bit ugly but I couldn't figure out how to improve it.

The debuff counter now goes over 40 (up to 99), it still changes colour as it approaches 40 and probably doesn't make any sense anymore due to the limit being lifted, but if anyone cares it's there and works.

A few caveats:

I didn't even try to touch or update its embedded libraries (AceAddon-2.0, AceConsole-2.0, Dewdrop-2.0 etc).

I have no idea how it behaves in non-english clients. If the original Demon worked, I probably didn't break anything.

I bumped the "Interface: 20400" to 30000 so it's no longer considered Out of Date by WoW 3.0. This is probably a really bad idea for even more reasons than I can imagine, and I could think about quite a few. In a week or so I haven't experienced any adverse effects, your mileage may vary.

If enough people care I guess I could register on wowace and put it up there. But most of what I did likely amounts to sacrilege to the real devs in there, so maybe I better not :-)

----------------
Edit: Sorry for sneaking this in, wanted to avoid a ban-worthy triple-post

The repackaged Demon with the updates described above is available here:
Demon_-_Margot_maintenance_update.zip -- FileFactory.com - free file hosting --

I also managed to figure out how the name shortening logic works, and got Frost Fever to display as a slightly more intuitive "FrF" instead of "F" or "FF", less obscure or likely to be confused with Faerie Fire.

Any feedback is _very_ welcome, just bear in mind that I'm not an actual developer (or maybe I'm just too lazy) so can't implement any actual new feature. Unless it's a really damn good idea and I so want to have it that I end up figuring out how to make it work.

Unfortunately I have to second this. I tried DebuffEnough and can't get myself used to it.
Demon had its own tiny little way of providing information which I simply grew too attached to.
