This is something that irritates me a bit too - almost all UIs are built around horizontal bars and unitframes, and demon really doesn't fit that well aesthetically.

I'll probably end up just hacking up the lua/xml to make it sit horizontal, once I've sorted the rest of my (current iteration of my) interface, in which case I'll post it here.

Will look forward to it

What about Imp. Scorch (Fire Vulnerability)? Can't add it

€dit: nevermind.... got it

Any word on resolving the display of different debuffs with the same name? In trying to add the ISB debuff "Shadow Vulnerability" to Demon, this of course conflicts with the shadowpriest debuff of the same name, with the shadowpriest buff being the one tracked by Demon.

Excellent little addon otherwise, but if tracking could be done via spell ID's *and / or* names, well, it'd be great.

If you could supply an abbreviation along with the Debuff name, that might be handy. Perhaps like:

Hex of Weakness[Hex]

Right now I get H... as the auto shortened name.

4 sunders: yellow '4SA'
5 sunders: green '5SA'

That's still just 3 characters, to fit in the frame, contains more info, and the coloring allows for at-a-glance monitoring.

this is frankly not needed imo... if you're using this as a raid leader trust your DPS to know to put up 5, and then just yell at them if sunder falls off. If you are a warrior you should have a better way to monitor sunders anyways.

I'm not really sure how it would be done, as far as I know there's something like GetSpellName() for getting information when you are using spell ID's however that will just return the same name. The only way afaik is to use the spell's icon to work out what spell is up which I can only imagine will get really complicated for end users.

Yeah, that's possible but the reason you are getting H... is likely to be because you are using a custom font? I've only tested with no fonts installed and the original ClearFont (not ClearFont2). It's coming up as ... because the size of the text is going outside of it's frame, it is showing HoW "behind the scenes".

Anyway, unfortunately I admit that I don't play WoW anymore and can't really support the addon. There's another thread hanging around here about some addon called Smarty which shows icons or something and from what I've read it's basically an adaptation of Demon's idea. If that works how you want it, by all means use it, however I think Demon still works very well despite it's 1 or 2 bugs (or maybe what could be called missing features

).

If anyone would like to pick and develop Demon, feel free but please credit me

Somehow I moved the demon frame off the edge of my screen, and since I'm at the max resolution of my LCD and my UI scale was already set to 0.65, I have no way of getting demon back. Is there a console command to reset its position?

koaschten · 06/19/08, 9:31 AM

Currently i am not aware of a function to reset the location of the Demon window. But you can try this:

- exit WoW
- browse to your <wow dir>/WTF/Account/<account name>/SavedVariables
- open demon.lua
- modify the posx and posy values to be half of your screens resolution each
- save and closed demon.lua
- start wow
- the demon window should be in the center of your screen now.

edit: or the corresponding pdebufflist.lua of course *whistles innocently*

This didnt work for me nor can I find a scaling option, really annoying cause it's to small for me to catch the debuffs in a glimpse

Marry me!

That is to say it worked. Editing that file is also a very convenient way of adding debuffs yay!

Is there a way to make Demon always show up in raid. pDebuffList was always active in raid, even when I wasn't targeting anything (at least that's what I remember). With Demon, it only appears when targeting something, so I have a lot of flashing in/out. I could be smoking crack, however, but I don't recall it disappearing before. In fact, I believe I tested to see if it was working by simply joining a raid. Now I have to join raid and find a mob. Not that big of a deal, but I'd love for it to always be up.

Jemsky · 06/30/08, 10:26 AM

You can have the Demon Monitor up whenever you target a hostile mob or a mob that has the potential to be hostile.

There is an option there for it to be visible within the configuration menu which can be ticked for visibility whether you are solo, in a party or raid or happen to be with a pet. In order for you to be able to see the monitor in most situations try ticking them all.

I was trying to get Judgement of Wisdom to work but it doesn't.

Any suggestions?

PS. Error is 'Validation error'

Jemsky · 07/09/08, 5:48 AM

Could you please clarify if you are using the correct punctuation when adding this spell ?
