Ret FCFS Rotation Helper - Page 32

Messed a bit with it on Live, while it is a bit trickier to configure, once you understand the behaviour codes, it becomes quite simple, took me just a couple of minutes to get my usual clcret config up and running:

Ashen Ring ICD, Avenging Wrath ICD, WFS ICD, Engi Gloves ICD, Libram of the Three Truths buff and SoC Debuff.
The size and positioning are easy to configure, the rotation shows up with no problems, delays or hiccups.

Regarding the Live version is seems to be pretty much ready, all I would like to see changed was the grid part.
When you have loose icons, you can freely configure their size, width and height, but once you bind the icons to a grid you have a choice of 1 and 2, and since you can't choose 1.1 to 1.9 for e.g., you are left with a mix of huge and tiny icons, maybe if we were allowed to freely choose our icon size, grid option would be perfect.

I'll try the Beta version tomorrow as at the moment the account I use is being played on and I'll leave some feedback later, if you want any specific option to be tested feel free to shoot.

Just took it for a spin on the PTR, and I like it! I didn't bother fiddling around with the configurations, I just used the rotation the addon suggests by default (and it still improved my dps quite a bit). Especially the Holy Power bar is really, really, handy (although I do hope it gets prettied up a bit :P).

Overall, big thumbs up from me.

The idea behind the grid is to design the template as on a piece of math paper. When you need subdivisions, you just decrease grid cell size and increase width and height for the elements. For example, this is done with a 16x9 grid of 5x5 cells.
But when a loose icon is easier to configure, use a loose icon, grids are just offered as an alternative.

Just out of curiosity, do you intend to make the configurations a bit easier? If we have to change everything via data files then I will probably lose my mind. Yes, I'm such a noob.

If you mean editing lua it's just for the beta part cause I have no idea what exactly to implement so didn't bother to write options.

Aurrius · 09/26/10, 5:09 AM

That's exactly what I meant. Fair enough, and cheers.

Hi everybody, I've been following these forums for a long time but this is my first post.

I have been using an addon called nibPointDisplay on the PTR to monitor HP. It works flawlessly. You might want to check out this little gem, which is Cata ready. Basically, it allows you to get rid of the HP bar from the default UI and integrate it into your custom UI. It's really slick, taking up no resources and allowing you to put the bars where you need them to be. Inside the folder for the addon you will find a brief txt file showing basic setup but it's super easy. Just remember to take it off of Configure Mode before actually using it. Here is the link...

Burghy, will you be making a release version of CLCInfo (at least the Ret part) before/when Cataclysm goes live, or will we use the beta version?

burghy · 10/08/10, 1:05 PM

I'll make a release when it gets more testing, sometimes after 4.01 patch probably.

Zethgaz · 10/11/10, 6:06 AM

Cant seem to make CLCINFO work in anyway..

Could some one perhabs point me in the direction of an "Settting up clcinfo for DUMMIES guide" ?

burghy · 10/11/10, 9:15 AM

Have you tried that "first steps" link? If you did, where did you get stuck?
What are you trying to do and can't get it to work?

Jasteus · 10/11/10, 11:50 AM

Burghy is it possible to add a wait timer into your addon, something that say would wait 1 second or so to see if a higher dps ability was coming off cooldown. With my current haste levels on the ptr, and with the priority I've given it, it's suggesting:CS, Filler, Filler, when the supposed optimal rotation is: CS, Filler. Is there a way to prioritize cs more, or have the addon wait to suggest cs?

*edit*
Edited slightly to make it easier to read.

CLCinfo doesnt work on Beta , right??

best regards

It worked for me, although I couldn't figure out how to make ICDs show (following the wiki guide, Death's Verdict ended up showing the same as the line for showing duration, disappearing completely when not up, while Frostforged Champion just didn't do anything at all. Probably did something wrong, though I did manage to get everything else set up (including showing both procs when they were up, so I had the right spellIDs). Don't think priority works though, at least not when I installed it, so I've not bothered using the addon yet.

It's that csBoost parameter. For example, return IconRet1(0.5) means it shouldn't suggest a filler if cs has less than 0.5s left on cooldown.

It should work on both beta and ptr, tested it only on beta though.

return IconICD(72412, 60, 0, 1, 0.3) is what I use for Frostforged Champion (agi ring). Behavior for those values should be: hidden completely when ready to proc, fully visible while buff up, faded to 0.3 alpha while ICD goes down.
return IconICD(67708, 45, 0, 1, 0.3) for normal Death Verdict.
Rotation should work (at least 3.x one should be the same with clcret), which build was it and what kind of issues were there with the rotation?

Btw, a fast way to get the ID of the buff. While the buff is active on you, use: /dump UnitAura("player", buffName). Last value in the list (I think 11th) should be the ID.
For example, while DV buff is up, use: /dump UnitAura("player", "Paragon")
