Dorje's Healing Bars  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.5.1.0
by: Dorje [More]

The concept is pretty simple. Show the casting bars of other healers in raid healing you, your target or your focus target.

The mod is based on Ace2, so it's very lightweight and pleasant to the eye. You have a lot of ways to adjust the bars themselves and their behavior like bar and text size, bar texture, growing upwards, downwards, and toggling the bars themselves. You even get an option to have the bars stay on your screen even after you have changed your target. You will no longer have to wonder whether other healers actually did cast a heal on your previous target. With the introduction of focus targets, it's even better. You will always be able to see if the focus is being healed.


Version history:
V0.5.1.0
- Finally managed to replicate PaintChips bug. Fixed
- Added option to hide icons
- Temporarily removed Forecast compatibility (total addon recode coming for 2.4 will have it back)

v0.5.0.4 - three cheers for being blind like a bat and not noticing 2.2 SetPoint changes. Anchors fixed now.

v.0.5.0.3 - anchoring fix

v.0.5.0.2 - 2.2 bug fixes.

v.0.5.0.1 - minor bug fixes

v.0.5.0.0 beta - loads of fixes and changes
* OnMouseOver support for click casters
* Temp fix for the NPC casting errors
* Support for SharedMediaLib - loads of new bar textures :P Font support to come at a later date.

v.0.4.0.1 - bug fix: nerf haste (line 578 error fix)

v.0.4.0.0 - bug fixes... i seem to get a lot of them... anyways:
* fixed Theorycraft2 bug
* fixed many smaller bugs
+ DorjeHealingBars now works with Grid and any other addons using CastCommLib

v.0.3.0.3 - bug fixes - Theorycraft2 still causes problems. I will fix that in the new recode that will be released soon.

v.0.3.0.1 - mostly bug fix release. Also, as requested, I've included an option to disable casting on and by enemy units. This should improve the general performance for people with weaker machines. Rechecked the resurrections not showing. Shaman issues not resolved yet.

v0.3.0.0 - very experimental release. I've changed the way the addon works now. Other healers in your raid do not need to have this mod for you to see their casting. Please let me know how this works

v0.2.0.4
- ForeCast support - very simple, but it works If the mod detects Forecast in your raid/party, it will automatically start parsing messages from it and it will also broadcast messages in the ForeCast format
- Party support - DHB now automatically detects if you are in a party or raid and will broadcast using the appropriate channel.
- Introduced a block for older versions of DHB - this is to prevent the "attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'fifthMarker' (a nil value)" bug

v0.2.0.3a
- Small bug fix - sometimes you get errors when casting spells on unfriendly targets. Should be fixed now.

v0.2.0.3
- Added TheoryCraft2 support - the caster must have this addon in order for the code to work. The idea is to show others in your raid how much roughly your average spell heals for.
- Reworked the way text is displayed on the bars - you get to chose exactly how text is displayed on each of the bars.
- Fixed a couple minor errors

v0.2.0.2a
- Fixed a small bug with nuby ol' me Thanks to Slade8 and an ever watchful guildie for noticing it ;D

v0.2.0.2
- Adjusted lag compensation settings a tad and changed the way bars notify you of a cancelled spells - for now, you only get a message saying "STOPPED!". Next release will allow you set the text yourself.
- You can now change the way text is displayed on bars yourself.
- You can now change the scale of each of the bar groups.

v0.2.0.1
- Added rank to the information. At the moment, it's down to the caster whether they want to show others the rank of their spells or not.
- This is my first attempt at lag compensation. Please let me know what you think.

v0.2.0.0
- First public release

Bars disappearing after logging in next day

Hello. I just start using this mod since last update. And I luuvvv it. Its really great.

I only noticed one thing and wanna ask what to do about it
I place the bars on the screen where I want them, but when I log in the game the next day the bars aren't there anymore.
Also several times that I even can't find the bars anymore. I think the are outside the screen. Cause some of them are on the very left side of the screen with only a small edge to drag them back to the middle.
When I reset through the menu it doesn't work, bars stay at the same place. And usually I miss one or two
Can you help with this? What happens here?

Sorry for the lack of updates. I am currently working on bug fixes for everything reported. I'll release a new version soon if all goes well.

Error messages

With this as my only mod enabled, when I load in I get the error:

\libs\Babble-Spell-2.2\Babble-Spell-2.2.lua:17: Babble-Spell-2.2 requires AceLocale-2.2

Nothing works, the mini map button is just a question mark with no functionality.
If I load Baggins, Bigwigs, or Cartographer, I do not get the error and the minimap button has all the options. I would assume its a library issue in the Dorje's directory, and the Ace2 addon's loading before it are why it doesnt error when they are enabled?

With an Ace2 mod alphabetically before Dorje loaded, and Dorje, whenever anyone does anything that would activate a bar I get:

\DorjeHealingBars.lua:557: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'spellSent' (a nil value)

No bars work on screen, just the constant error popup.

Thank you for all your work so far on this. Hope these errors can be worked out.

Could you be more specific? ;P I have never had anyone report these issues.

There is a new release scheduled for sometimes this week if I only find the time, but it's mostly cleanup and some tweaks to make it run better.

I'm having more problems in 4.0.1 than 3.0.1 as a paladin. For some reason, everyone shows as an errior message. It can either be changing an aura, or mounting up. This is just solo though, I haven't tried it in a raid though. I'll do that tonight in Karazhan.

Hi,

No. 3.0.3 was merely a lib quickfix for those who do not use a lot of ace2 addons.

The new version is slightly delayed. Work has again crept up on me and I didn't manage to finish all the work this weekend.

I won't make any promises this time, but it really should not be long (nerf the need to sleep )

Yea. That's a problem with Theorycraft2. The only way to fix that now is either disable my addon, or replace Theorycraft2 with DrDamage. Will be fixed in new release.

Hi Dorje, thanks for the mod. My guild recently started using this, and while it works very well in raids, im getting an error out of raids and occasionally in them as well. The error pops up frequently, when i self heal with no target, when i mount, hearth, etc. Not sure what the reason for this is, but here is the error i recieve:

AddOns\DorjeHealingBars\DorjeHealingBars.lua:579: attempt to concatenate local 'target' (a nil value)

Any ideas? Outside of this very annoying error, you have an excellent mod here that Im finding very helpful. Thanks for all the hard work, it is appreciated!

I think I know what the problem is. I tried Clique on my end and I didn't have the problem you mentioned, but I think I know where the problem might be. If I'm right, this should get fixed in the new version anyways.

> Actually, you are the first person ever to ever mention that very thing to me.
Strange, all our healers have been directly casting on raidunits since back when MC was raided. (Groupbuttons, castparty, context sensitive cursorbars, clickcasting, etc.) Targetting someone to drop off a heal seems awfully slow and inefficient but that's beside the point.

> I assume you use some sort of click casting addon?
That's one of the ways that will make you run into this problem yes. Clique and similar addons have become pretty popular and widespread nowadays. But it must be noted that apart from clickcasting addons there are still several other ways to drop casts onto specified units, albeit a bit less of them than there were before 2.0 hit. Plenty of heal watching mods have already bitten their teeth out on detecting spell targets simply by watching the sent casting events of other players, I was hoping this one found a solution already that wouldn't require every healer to have the mod. :/

I will have to see how it works in my current beta, but that's never been a problem for me.

Question weird target recognition

I've just tested this addon yesterday and it seemed to behave a bit weird. It seemed to think that whenever I have a friendly target and start to cast a heal (on a seperate unit) I would cast a heal on my current target unit. I hope that's a bug, hardly any healer I know actually targets someone to heal them.
