Serious Help In Timing

Version: 1.24

by: Tharin2002 [More]

Serious Help In Timing is an addon based off of Face Mauler, which is being developed by IndigoSpaniard.

This addon will provide a recommendation for Ret Paladin's FCFS rotation. The window contains 3 icons. The large center icon displays which ability you should hit next. The small icon on the right shows you which ability is coming up next. The small icon on the left shows if Avenging Wrath is off of cooldown.

The mod will only load if you are currently playing a paladin character.

The options menu can be reached via "/serioushelp" or "/shit". Options include:

Lock - Locks the frame at it's current location.

GUI Opacity - Change the opacity of the display frame, options from 0 (invisible) to 1 (fully visible).

GUI Scale - Changes the scale of the display frame, options from .5 to 2.

Show on: - Shows the mod only on "Valid Target" (not dead or friendly), "In Combat" (any time you are in combat, even if not targeting something), or "Boss Only" (only mobs classified as bosses with a skull instead of a level).

Range Check - Adds a range check to the icon. If you are out of range for an ability, it will turn red.

Minimum Mana to Consecrate - Sets the minimum amount of mana that the addon will still recommend consecrate as part of your rotation. Once your mana drops below this amount, the addon will skip over recommendations of consecrate.

Max Mana to Divine Plea - The percentage of mana below which the addon will recommend Divine Plea.

Sacred Shield Refresh Time - The time left, in seconds, on Sacred Shield before the addon will recommend refreshing it.

Spell Priority 1-6 - Here you can set the priority that you would like the addon to recommend abilities.

Currently, the addon will only recommend Avenging Wrath during a Bloodlust/Heroism, and only if you have a free global (i.e. last priority).

For more information on FCFS rotations, and which abilities should be priority, you can find the latest information in this thread at Elitist Jerks: Ret Paladin Thread (Please note that this thread is for patch 3.0. Once 3.1 is released, a new thread will probably be created with information for the changes to the FCFS rotation.)

Currently, I have no plans to localize this addon for any other languages.

Additional thanks to rea123 on the EJ paladin forums for some code fixes.

TODO
- Change AW suggestion to just put a glow around the AW icon during Heroism/Bloodlust.

1.24 - Updated for patch 3.2. Fixed bug where nothing would show up until you changed targets when first engaging. Changed functionality of the "In Combat" visibility option. Now disregards if you have a valid target and will always show while your character is in combat, even with nothing targeted.

1.23 - Fixed a small bug with showing the mod at login until a new target is selected when the worldbosses was enabled. Disabled COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED handling while the addon is not being shown. The addon now checks to reenable this handling by target switching to a valid target or if all other requirements are met when entering combat. This should drastically reduce the CPU usage of the mod while idling in Dalaran.

1.22 - Added range check to current and next icons and an option to disable it in the options. Also fixed a bug where the Spell Priorities sub option menu would appear underneath another addon.

1.21b - Added fix for missing priorities resulting in no priority being displayed. Thanks to rea123 on EJ for the code fix.

1.21 - Disabled debug output >.< Sorry for not catching that.

1.2 - Finished tuning the suggestion code. The only jump is consecrate appearing instantly when your mana goes above the minimum set for consecrate while waiting on a cooldown. Added support for Sacred Shield and Divine Plea priorities and options for their conditional requirements. Added options for showing the addon during different conditionals (Valid Target, In Combat, Bosses Only). Cleared up bugs relating to Hammer of Wrath.

1.15 - More fine tuning on the suggestion code to minimize jumpiness. Also made next suggestions that were over 1.5 seconds away show up. The suggestion icon will go blank during the global of your last ability to indicate that everything is on cooldown. After the GCD, it will indicate your next ability and it's cooldown.

1.14 - Fixed talent check bug when Ret was not your primary spec. Also cleaned up a problem with the addon flashing when it detected an off-spec.

1.13 - Updated TOC for 3.1.

1.12 - Added an opacity option and added an option to select "None" in the spell priority dropdowns.

1.11 - Cleaned up the suggestion code to take into account the realtime gcd. There should be less jumping between abilities mid-gcd now. Also redid the Avenging Wrath indicator to now show the cooldown on the icon and stay up at all times.

1.1 - Added a check for Heroism as well as Bloodlust.

1.0 - First release. All features planned are currently implemented.

Yea

This addon is based on you being level 80 with access to all of a Ret pally's abilities. Of course it's not going to work if you're on some low level toon. Didn't you read the description of the addon? It's based on FCFS rotation from Elitist Jerks, meaning it is about raiding and maximum DPS. Not leveling.

I know it's for raiding, but I decided to play around with it for my dps. Notice how in the description it doesn't say you "have" to be 80 to use this. Also, you don't have to be an ass about it. I was trying to be constructive and you come in here with your condescending tone. So excuse me for trying to be helpful in making the addon more accessible

Re: Problem

Currently I have tried uninstalling the mod and reinstalling it clean a couple of times, and disabling all other addons.

S-hit is working up until I target something. Right now when I log on to my paladin, it will show JoW as my current and Consecration as my next (which is right according to my specifications). Unfortunately, when I target a mob the icons showing the spells in order disappear. The addon is still present with the feint box showing, but nothing is suggested. I've tried changing the settings to show "In Combat" and "Valid Target" with no luck. Honestly I have no idea what the problem is.
The only idea I have is if it doesn't work when you don't have all of the spells yet. Currently it's my level 24 alt Pally. However, I only have the spells I currently have acquired enabled on my "Spell Priorities". I hope this helps.

EDIT: I just logged onto my old ally character (64 paladin). It works fine on him. Must be a spell I need to have. I guess it's not too big a deal, at least I know it will work when I need it to =)

Palladia A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 57 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	I had to disable SH1T today after having installed the newest version. I kept getting "20" and "END" written to the chat frame over and over, preventing anything else from appearing. I narrowed it down to SH1T being the source of the problem. Maybe this will help diagnose what was causing it not to work. In the meantime, since it wasn't working for me before this happened, I'm just disabling it. It seems like a great idea and I hope you can work out the bugs in it. [Edit: Just saw that someone posted a more detailed description of the chat problem I was having in comments at Curse.com. I was getting some of those more complex numbers too, but eventually it just settled down to 20s.] Last edited by Palladia : 04-26-09 at 09:12 AM.

While I always did good at Ret, and still could do it but had issues with the changed rotation, this is now my best DPSing friend. I can just see what abilities to use because of the big icons even if I'm focusing on something else, making me a better player all around even in my lazy days.

So far, I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue so it's either something very uncommon or something specific to your setup. What localization are you? Are you on a Mac?

I'm using US English and I'm on a PC. I use a lot of addons but I don't know what I use that could possibly interfere.

By the way, I wanted to correct something: SH1T doesn't always look like that. Sometimes it's just blank.

[Edited out]

Notice that, even though I call AW in macros (JoW and CS), I also have a button for it so you can see that it's in cooldown. The way SH1T looks in this screenshot is how it always looks when I'm fighting.
