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

Hi there,

That's weird. Noone has pointed that error to me before. I will check it later on today (after work)

I'm just sorry you are experiencing problems. I will keep you posted.

As a short update, the recoding part on a new version of DHB is almost done. A lot, and I mean a lot of stuff got recoded. The addon should be even lighter and faster now. It's currently entered beta testing, so it will get posted soon (depending on how my work keeps me busy ).

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. I've just gotten off a crazy project hence lack of updates etc.

I am currently working on a new version. Some stuff got recoded, some stuff will get recoded even more. Stay tuned!

@Uhuru - yeah. That was the dumbest thing I did to the addon. It will be fixed in next release.

"when I cast spells on myself sometimes the bar won't finish it's cast. It will stop with like .2 or .1 seconds left. It's basically acting like the heal was interrupted but it wasn't. It was late at night though so I didn't get a chance to test it with other people."

Hi,

I got exactly the same problem with the 3.0.1 version and a 120 ms ping.

version 3.0.1 also show me a replication of my cast bar for any spell on any targets when "show only friend cast" is disabled, is this normal ?

Is dhb supposed to show a cast bar for damage spells from other players on my target ? on me ? if not which add on can do this please ?

thank's for your work and sorry for my bad english.

It helps a lot. Thank you !

A general annoucement.

Last couple updates clearly show that I need to stop coding in the middle of the night. Iam way too tired then and the work I do is not at a level I am capable of. That means, I will fix all current bugs asap (before tuesday), but that also means I will be releasing new versions a little less often. I will do more testing on my end and I will only code during the day.

Sorry about all the bugs you guys had to endure, but I am also grateful for your support

Shaman Fix - It doesn't seem to like both paladins and shamans using the same color for casting bars. When I changed the color that paladins used I started being able to see shaman spells. Tested it with a shaman and they could see my spells but again only after disabling the latest version of theorycraft2 since that seems to be causing massive problems.There seems to be some minor issues with some phantom casting (where it showed me casting a shaman spell the same time a shaman was sporadically) but I'm not sure if it's related to the new version since I haven't been using it very long.

My change Line 753:
Code:
elseif (class == "PALADIN") then color = "purple"
For some reason TheoryCraft 2 is causing all kinds of problems with the latest version.

Hope that helps.

Get the following error when a non priest (I play a priest) casts a spell. Also when I click "Moveable Bars" the cast bars don't show up for the target and for the focus which I'm guessing is related since only the on me frame uses priest colors. Basically I can't see any druid or shaman heals now. I'm using V.009 of theorycraft2.

Error: attempt to index local 'spelldata' (a nil value)

Coo.. Thanks for the feedback. As I've mentioned in the patch notes, this is highly experimental I don't get to raid a lot nowadays, so I need to rely on you guys for field testing

The issues you mentioned will be fixed. I am still trying to get a friend with a raiding shammy to test out the horde side issue.

Just testing the latest version, Im noticing that now the bars are showing even when I am not in a group. Also they are showing damage spells etc. that are being cast by not only myself but others. Assuming it was possibly something linked to an older version I deleted the wtf saved variables for this addon and tried again, same results.

Running the new version on a raid right now and the shaman issue with not being able to see heals is still there. Multiple people are having the problem with the new version. Priests cant see shaman heals and shaman cant see priest heals. I smell alliance conspiracy!

Erm. Actually, version check is already in there, but it's mainly for my use atm.
I got a bit slammed with irl stuff recently and quite frankly, when I come home now, the last thing I can stand is the computer screen and the idea of coding. That's why the delay in releasing a new version.

0.3.0.0 will introduce a lot of changes. The fact that you get healing values based on your gear is a bug and I didn't notice it there. I will nail it down soon.

Edit: I was a tad too hasty. I need to double check if getting the +healing of others is even possible.

This isn't really a bug but the the incoming healing amount is based totally client side. This means that if another priest casts the same rank gheal the amount shown will be based on my gear and spec. This can be a pretty big difference (shadow priest in dmg gear vs holy priest). It would be nice if there was some sort of cache and check of what the healing amount for people was. Just a minor issue overall though.

Also just a small request I would really appreciate the version check feature making it in.

Keep up the good work, everyone in the guild really loves the mod.

Thanks for the update. I play alliance so I didn't get a chance to check it on horde. That's only for the shamen. We use it in my guild and we can see all our heals, be it pallies, druids or priests.

The shaman issue should be fixed in the next version as well as the res stuff, etc.

Any other bugs you guys noticed?
