Each of the Bartender4 action bars can be set to fade out until hover, while in combat, out of combat, or pretty much whenever you want. On the left side of the minimap are just general macros. The right side are the macros I use in combat and whatever cds I track. I think I might fade some out after reading your post though, thank you.

Downloaded the package deal and I love it so far. It's great on my shaman too though I miss my Maelstrom Weapon 5 stack sometimes.

One question though, how do I turn off the "Head Shot!" exclamation every time I get a crit? I thought I turned that addon off but they still play and I can't find which addon is playing them.

I'm glad you like it, thank you. Changing or turning off the headshot is pretty easy..
/msbt
events
outgoing player
skill crits
then set to "None" or any of the 200+ sounds available

(if you have any other questions about my UI, please post them in the comments section there so other users can benefit too)

I apologize if this is the wrong place to bring this back up. I was messing around with macros and found a much simpler way to do a weapon swap.

Make two sets in equipment manager, one for DP one for IP. The macro:

/in 9 /equipset DP
/in 12 /equipset IP

The /in command works in seconds, you just have to press it every 12 to reactivate it. I hope this helps!

ShadowEric · 10/06/09, 11:52 PM

The /in command is only available if you have an Ace 2 addon (I think it's Ace 2, I'm not sure if Ace 3 has that command or not). This is not a default Blizzard command.

Right, my assumption was most people had ACE.

I've looked around for a while to find the best addon to do the job, without much success though, so I decided to ask here. What is the best addon to flag when I deal a particular kind of damage. I do not mean a damage category, such as poisons for instance, because MSBT can handle that. I am thinking of shadowbolt damage from gutgore. I want to see it clearly each time it fires of. Any ideas?

I set up a frame in Satrina Buff Frames to track it independantly from everything else as a bar when I was playing around with the dagger. I had to play around with the settings a bit to get it to work, but it was a whitelisted frame with a filter to any of my debuffs on target with the words 'gutgore ripper'. I'm not on my playing computer at the moment so I can't get the exact filter criteria I set up, but that's the jist of it.

I"d recommend checking out Proculas (Ace addon). I don't have the Gutgore, but it lists it as a supported proc. It has LDB, tracks ppm, uptime, CD with optional bars, let's you diplay procs to MSBT among other ways, etc.

Mavanas · 10/07/09, 8:39 PM

Unfortunately Proculas does not catch the shadow bolt damage nor the curse proc.

Shapurji · 10/15/09, 11:18 PM

I've had luck using Elkano's Buff Bars (similarly set up as above) to display the applied debuff, as well as filtering my debuffs on target (rupture/DP/EA etc). It's had no issue detecting or displaying it. Downside is that is does not display individual damage from the Shadowbolt itself, but MSBT as you stated takes care of that.

Rough set-up from memory is along the lines of:
(from config menu, Note that Groups 1-3 are preassigned, new groups start at 4)

* Create new buff group
*Group Settings-->Group 4-->Target--> * Target
--------------------------------> Filter--> Type--> * Debuff
------------------------------------------> White List--> * Gutgore Ripper

You will have to get it to proc once while EBB is running for EBB to populate the White List.

Hi guys.. I've been using x-pearl for a long time.. But when I use my "set focus" function (for casthing TotT) I just get an error message.
Then I tried both Bulldog and AG_Unitframes, but the same error frame occurs when I try to set a focus on a target. The target function only seem to work when running Blizzard GUI - which I really don't like

Anyhow know a GUI that lets me set focus on a target? Or maybe a macro to replace the current one I'm using?

#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/cast [help] [target=focus, help] [target=targettarget, help] Tricks of the Trade
/me is trying to avoid aggro

j0ntar · 10/23/09, 1:57 PM

I use that macro with the most recent version of X-perl and have no issues.

Target your MT or OT, then type /focus and you should be fine.

Naggert · 10/23/09, 2:25 PM

Hm.. I downloaded the newest version of X-pearl (same version that I had installed)
But I still get this error when trying to "set focus" on a target...

This is a common error with unit frame addons, the way I work around it is to set a keybinding for focustarget (btn:1) via the keybingings options.

Sorry it didn't work, apparently from looking at the lua, Proculas is tracking the old [Gutgore Ripper] but not the [Rusted Gutgore Ripper], nor the [Tarnished Gutgore Ripper]. It's pretty easy to add these in the lua.

Yeah I guess it's common since it occured with three diffrent addons.. Hm can you be a bit more specific? Maybe copy the code?

j0ntar · 10/23/09, 3:28 PM

Have you actually tried typing /focus while your focus target it targeted? You shouldnt be trouble shooting this here anyways.

You are a live saver! Typing /focus helped! You're amazing <3

You could ask the author of Proculas for permission to enter the following code to track [Rusted Gutgore Ripper] and [Tarnished Gutgore Ripper].

Modules.. weaponprocs.. local PROC

	[49437] = {
		spellID = 69180,
		types = {"SPELL_DAMAGE"},
		selfOnly = 0,
		-- Proc Info
		-- ID: 921 
		-- name: Rusted Gutgore Ripper 
		-- type: dagger 
	},
	[49465] = {
		spellID = 69181,
		types = {"SPELL_DAMAGE"},
		selfOnly = 0,
		-- Proc Info
		-- ID: 922 
		-- name: Tarnished Gutgore Ripper 
		-- type: dagger 
	},

You can key bind it, or macro that. If you go into your default WoW menu you can choose a free key for Focus. The same way you bind your attacks, there's no code involved.

The problem is that all addons attempt to use the same focus command line, but since patch 3.0 I believe the command is met with an error (usually this shows up as ***Taint Forced***), with any luck this will be corrected in a future patch or hot fix, but until then I've found the key bind much easier then any other workaround.

I've always had the same problem with both Xpearl and Pitbull, despite updates for each. I just disabled the FocusFrame portion of Pitbull (the frames addon I settled on), and used the default focus panel with a /focus macro. Then eventually grabbed this to move it around. Easy.

ShadowEric · 10/29/09, 11:52 AM

The focus frame is not the problem. Whether you use that addon or the focus frames built into X-Perl, Pitbull or any other unit frame doesn't make a difference. The problem is that you can't right-click a portrait and select the Set Focus option. It only works with the default unitframes, not with untiframe addons, like X-Perl/Pitbull... etc. It's a Blizzard bug that has been around since WoW v3. If you don't use the default unitframes, the workaround is to do /focus when you want to focus your current target. Which is why I have a button on my action bar which runs a macro that only does /focus.

I never even bothered to try /focus with the addons running. I just judged it as the addon's fault and assumed that focus frames wouldn't work at all. That's just the solution I came to.

Unofficial:
RogueHUD Update 6: (I really can't remember the changes I have done)
- Added several new trinkets (may have missed some, ping me if that is the case)
- Added Blade Flurry hitting 2 targets indicator - it is based on the time between target hits, so even if you are hitting 2, it may flash sometimes. The idea is that if this indicator is on for like half a second - go reposition until it dissapears
- Added tricks announcement to self, you can see what rogue is doing what and when. At the end of the combat it gives report how many tricks you have casted and how many you have received. Catch those slacking rogues

- Added tricks icon, it is up when you have an active tricks on you, so burn everything

- Added error messages filtering, the ones being filtered now are:
"Ability is not ready yet.",
"You are too far away!",
"Out of range",
"Not enough energy",
"That ability requires combo points",
"You can't do that right now."
As always, you can override them in the config file or roguehud itself
- Added error frame - I cba with the error messages which not only are spammy, but you have no idea when you are properly positioned, because messages take some time to dissapear. So I added error frame - it will show RED when you are outside mele range of the target (very useful to position at max range asap, when you have selected far away target in aoe, etc), and YELLOW when you are not facing the target so (keyboard) turn asap

-(edit: forgot to add it) FoK now says the number of targets being hit, so you can reposition better

The reason this is unofficial is because I'm posting from backup, not from my pc. I 'm 95% sure this is the latest file but... proceed with caution and backup the old one

Can you tell me how to open its options? I dont need that many things

Loot · 10/31/09, 4:10 PM

You can't, I mean there are no options really. Type /rh and will see some commandline stuff and for the rest - lua editing is required, as described in the file itself and in my first RogueHUD post. That addon is just for very limited public, thus it will never be on the addon sites. It implements everything raiding rogue needs in resource (cpu/memory) friendly way, nothing more, nothing less
