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

Yeah, that's intentional.

kk, just removed the moonfire tick bar.

the pics overlap some, but nuthing that matters

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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 · 11/17/08, 6:38 AM

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 ?

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.

Interface/AddOns/SquawkAndAwe/SquawkAndAwe.lua:1009: attempt to call global 'GetOmenInfo' (a nil value)

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.

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