BigBrother (Neb Edition)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.3.3
by: nebula [More]

Original (Ace2 version maintained by oscarucb): http://www.wowace.com/projects/big-brother/
Alpha files: http://www.wowace.com/addons/big-bro...ace3dev/files/

BigBrother watches over your group and has two main functions: checks and alerts.

Checks show you an overview of your group's consumable usage and raid buffs with the option to output missing buffs to chat. The buff window quickly shows who is missing what. Food buffs are tinted red if it does not give the highest stat value available. Raid buffs are dimmed/disabled when you don't have them and hidden if the group can't provide them.

You can also run a buff check to print out missing consumables and buffs from the buff window, config window, shift-clicking the minimap icon/broker object, or with the chat command /bb qc.

Alerts spam your chat frame so you know when people use specific abilities or items. This includes things like when someone breaks crowd control, is misdirected, interrupts, taunts, resurrects, dispels, or puts down items the group can click on. If you output to self, you can also shift-click on the "BigBrother" text to send the alert to chat.

Odd, if they show up in the buff window, the check should find them (both check by name, so shouldn't be a localization problem). Not sure what would cause it to not work properly

Only buffs, I don't check anything that would require inspecting players.

I could probably add LibSink-2.0 support, that would allow outputting to sct. I'll look into it
