Sorry, I wasn't clear on that - the error occurs when SquawkAndAwe is the only enabled addon. I just enabled tekErr (after checking that the error occured) to be able to copy/paste it.

I'm running enGB here. I frankly have no idea if there's any difference to enUS.

Aha! I think I found it. I'll make an update as soon as I get a chance. It has nothing to do with the localizations, though.

I was wondering if you are able to add an option to be able to increase the spacing between the bars or decrease?

 

• Adoriele

I think I should be able to do that. It won't be in for the next release, but I'll add it to the list of things to work on. Speaking of, the next release is being tested for issues rlated to the new French Localization, I'll upload it once I get the results (not being french, I can't test it myself).

Getting some spacing probs, they kinda overlaps, the pics for the diff bars, and some bars too. An option with spacing would prolly solve this.

edit: its the moonfire tick bar that half overlaps the moonfire cd bar

 

• Adoriele

Yeah, that's intentional.

 

Cadsuane

kk, just removed the moonfire tick bar.

the pics overlap some, but nuthing that matters

great addon btw :P

Would it take much to add timers for HoTs? With leveling in play again, I think I'd find it useful for solo fights against spellcasters, or small-group (2 or 3 man) encounters where you DPS and HoT the tank. Having all those bars in one place/style should make them more useful.

 

• Adoriele

Hmm. It wouldn't be too difficult to do at all, actually. I'll see what I can do. I will only check healing spells cast by you on you, though, as it's useful for leveling. Trying to track spells on others would be a pain in the ass, and only marginally useful for a raiding Moonkin.

I am guessing some from the screenshots, I didn´t use it because I am feral at the moment.

But from the screenshots I guess the bars have fixed areas to appear, what I mean is: it seems like it will always put eclipse on the same spot on the screen.

If such is the case, maybe there could be a text box for us to insert the spellid, and the addon could be used for any spec. (such as putting savage roar on eclipse (maybe), rake on moonfire, and so on).

Just a thought, but I can see how amazing this is without testing, I will use as soon as I can get back to moonkin mode. ^^

There are any number of class timer mods available that will deal with other specs. SquawkAndAwe deals with a few very specific moonkin issues (Eclipse being the most specialized that a generic duration/cooldown monitor doesn't handle casually). I'd hate to see it become bloated with additional features that the primary audience (Balance druids) don't need.

 

• Adoriele

This. While I understand the usefulness of having a more configurable timer addon, Squawk isn't it. There's also a fair bit of things going on under the hood that would make a general purpose addon harder to make than you'd realize.

Hi Adorielle,

I'm experiencing a Problem with all bars, except the one for eclipse (and eclipse cooldown, they're working fine ^^)
The problem is, they are not shown in my UI. Even after activating them in the options, it doesn't work.
Since I'm using a german wow account, is it possible that the german client has a problem with the used spell names or something ?

 

• Adoriele

This is exactly the problem. I'm (hopefully) releasing the French localization today, which will include the fix to showing test bars, but I don't have a German localization contact yet. The correct way around the issue would be to use spellIDs, but this ends up being an issue for out DoTs as we move from 70 to 80. I'll move to spellIDs soon, once I code in a way to use multiples for a single bar.

If you'd like to help, I can give you instructions through PM on how to write the German Localization, and I'll include it as well. I'd like to have as many localizations as possible supported.

 

Korâd

This would help a lot, if you can send me the instructions i'll try to give you the german data you need

First off, let me say THANK YOU! for this wonderful mod. It's really been a life saver once I found it.

One question though. One thing that I have been looking for and not found in any timer mod is one for Owlkin Frenzy. Is there somewhere in this that it comes up? Or if not - is there the potential of adding a bar in the future?

 

Korâd

Ok, I just got 80 last evening and I think tuesday will be our first day in Naxx. So I'm eager to test the addon in my first wotlk raid =)

Adoriele, would you be so kind to send me the localisation instructions via PM ?

 

• Adoriele

Hmm. I could, but it's not going to change much. Owlkin is fairly easily handled by any number of buff mods, and having it up won't have an effect on what spells you choose to cast like Eclipse will. If there's enough demand for it, I could add a bar, but I'm content with just adding it to the future uptime frame.

PM is on its way.

[edit] Version 1.0.2 is up, includes the French Localization and the test bar fix.

Really, really wanting to get SAA to work. . . . But I keep having a problem that doesnt seem to go away.

I wonder if it may be a library problem of some sort. . . . I've uninstalled all my mods and reinstalled them a few times now. . . Turning off omen seems to have zero effect on the problem.

If I am not in a party, it seems to pop up when I kill a mob. If I am in a group it seems to happen regularly. If the error message pops up, I usually cannot interact with it. I either have to reloadui or "Disable Mods" via the little annoying window that Blizz has put in.

Any clue what could be causing this problem?

Ace 3 - Bartender 4 - Omen 3 - SAA 1.02 + other goodies that I can list if needed.

 

• Adoriele

Ah, bugger, I thought I'd fixed that. I'll get it updated tomorrow morning.

 

Erdluf

A few times I would have used it to decide if I should cast Barkskin before Hurricane. It certainly isn't a big deal overall.

 

• Adoriele

I've got a fix locally, but would like to have it tested before I upload (I'm at work). If anyone's able to log in and had the Omen problem, send me a PM so I can get the files to you.

Thank you very much for creating SquawkAndAwe, Adorielle. I always found tracking Eclipse procs very difficult whilst trying to focus on the encounter and your mod really helps with that.

I will provide some feedback after more testing (so far it's mainly limited to solo play).

One thing, that I personally would consider very useful is a possibility to track Force of Nature (and possibly also Starfall) cooldown. Again, due to focusing on the encounter I usually forget to have a look whether I can cast FoN again and as a result don't use it as often as I could. On the other hand, I can understand that this might be not the most popular suggestion as we'd end up with a screen littered with bars if all the cooldowns were tracked. :P

 

klüger

You could do this with a simple: "X is up!" That can flash a couple of times or something similar.

 

Kuruk

Still not a lot of testing done (I need to spend some quality time with the dummies eventually but levelling is a priority now ^^) but one thing I noticed straight away:
The Eclipse duration bar does not display correctly. It's hard to explain what happens but it looks as if the bar was split in half/doubled - I'll try to take a screenshot and put it up on Imageshack.

Edit: Eclipse duration bar (cooldown bar works fine) is split into to, with a line in the middle. Instead of the colour-fill line going from end to start as the duration decreases, you get two lines moving simultanously. From the middle to the start and from the end to the middle. The line in the middle also obscures the caption a bit. It's just a graphical issue and as it doesn't appear to be a problem on the screenshot that you posted in the OP, I wonder if it's perhaps some conflict with another add-on I got or something of sort?
