Plaguechill's Val'kyr Monitor

Version: 1.13

by: Thomphoolery [More]

A custom mod for 25-man Heroic Lich King, written in-house for Plaguechill of Khadgar.

We wanted a way to track Val'kyr health, stuns, slows, icons, stun history, and DR remaining without having to tab target constantly.

Upon summoning Val'kyr Shadowguards, PCValkMon will create 3 health bars. To the left of each bar is any icon the Val'kyr are assigned. The name of each victim is displayed in the health bar, and as stuns go out, they travel in real time across the bar. As stuns are used, they appear in the stun history. Following each stun a yellow bar indicating the window for diminishing returns is created.

To the right of each bar is the active slow effect.

This mod was created entirely in-between wipes and before/after raids. We added features on-demand, and tailored it specifically for Plaguechill use on this one very specific fight. However, if it helps other guilds defeat this encounter, we are glad to contribute. Given all that - we already know this mod isn't super tuned or gorgeous looking. We had a particular need to fill, and we filled it - sometimes at the expense of aesthetics. (for instance, when our animation updater ran too raggedly, we simply removed it in the source!)

We are presenting it now, as is.

/pcvm to display and hide the window, which is draggable.

-Plaguechill of Khadgar

Update:
v1.13 - The spellID change screwed up transition checks. Should be fixed now; thanks, Habik.

v1.12 - Added "/pcvm reset" command to reset PCVM anchor to upper left
- Added support for spellIDs. This should enable ValkMon to work in non-English clients, but this is very experimental =) Please report any errors!

v1.11 - DBM dependence removed. (Thanks to nebula for the patch)

v1.13 - Fix to spellID patch for transition checks.

v1.12 - Added "/pcvm reset" command to reset PCVM anchor to upper left
- Added support for spellIDs. This should enable ValkMon to work in non-English clients, but this is very experimental =) Please report any errors!

Maybe like the screen below. And there is also the corresponding symbol in the middle where it can be seen better, but only on the valk that is <50%. You could check for http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetDungeonDifficulty to show layer/symbol when in HM. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3764/vmon.jpg I'll test the new version on sunday. greetings Last edited by habik : 09-16-10 at 06:49 PM.

Will you implement spellIDs soon?

I hope so, yes - the problem is more that testing is very hard now that my guild is on break until Cataclysm =)

One possibility would be to upload a "double check" version - one that triggers on both IDs and spell names. Enough to test the spellID version without breaking the "good" version. That, or upload an experimental build for those willing to test it out.

And I would suggest to change the healthbars so that there maximum is 50%.
So when the valks reach 50% your addon shows them as 0. This would make watching targets in HM a lot easier. [/b]

Unfortunately, that would mean they are busted on normal mode. hehe

We could maybe add an indicator for <= 50%. Maybe a new border or something similar?

Most people pulling HLK seem to actually like that they dip below 50%, as they can gauge how far off the mark they were on stopping DPS for "finished" Val'kyr. For example, if you have a Val'kyr at 25%, but one at 65%, you know those attacking the 25% Val'kyr are doing it incorrectly.

Internationalization is on the list of things to do =)

For now, it only works in the English client.

This is true - you can't modify the macro or unit associated with a secure button once combat begins.

And yes, we all have DBm^^ As fight started PCVM was enganged, but in P2 there was no Monitor....we just don´t know why.. PS: I hope you forgive my bad english and I also hope you could understand what I tried ti explain.
