EventAlert

Version: 4.7.6

by: CurtisTheGreat [More]

The addon will notify you in the middle of your screen with an icon, name of the spell that has procced, the time left on the proc and will make a subtle sound. EventAlert is also able to handle more than one proc at a time (this option was not available in previous versions).

I am not fond of addons that have very complicated installation and setups. The mod should work on install without any config, but if you wish to change any options use the following command: /ea options
To see a more detailed list of what options are avaiable to the mod, just check out the screenshot of the options pane.

This mod tracks the following events/procs:

Death Knight
- Cinderglacier (Runeforging)
- Dark Transformation
- Killing Machine
- Rime (Freezing Fog)
- Rune Strike
- Sudden Doom
Druid

Quick Backstory: I created this addon as a test for myself as my first "from the ground up" addon. Most of my coding in WoW LUA was taking other addons and just fixing them so they work from minor bugs or whatnot.

Anyhow, I needed a mod that was lightweight and did only what I wanted it to do, and that was warn me when one of my spells or talents procced something I needed. Thus, EventAlert was born. There are likely to be bugs, explosions and not so good things that may come from this mod. I'm sorry in advance! If you find a bug, please let me know so I can fix it.

Also, if anyone finds a spell/talent/etc that they want watched, please let me know and I will add it!

4.7.6
Bugfix: Fixed problem with spell charges not showing up on alerts.
Bugfix: Fixed problem with alerts not showing when options changed without a reload.
Change: Added option to show/hide spell charges.

This is happening with Mage proc called Fingers of Frost, the other proc I have is Fireball! and it seem to be working just fine. Also I would like to request it to be skinnable with Buttonfacade if at all possible Thanks for a great addon! Edit: Got this error message Interface\AddOns\EventAlert\EventAlert.lua:361: EAFrame_74396:SetPoint(): EAFrame_57761 is dependent on this Count: 1 Call Stack: [C]: ?

Re: Re: no LnL proc indicator

It works for me now too...I have no idea what caused the problem. Spent some time fooling with it yesterday, no luck, then after the servers came up from maintenance today it suddenly just worked without me doing anything. If no one else had the problem at all then it was probably just some wonky thing on my end. Sorry about that!

I will check this out, thank you for the report.

Edit: Ok, I just tested it on my 80 hunter will full points in LnL and it worked ok for me. Do you have full points in the talent? According to WoWhead it procs the same spell either way (calling the same spell ID) so it shouldn't matter, but I figured I would ask. Are you getting any errors when LnL procs but no alert happens? Have you tried unchecking then re-checking the proc in the EventAlert settings and see if that fixes it?

There are other many other mod types that alert you to missing buffs on yourself (& others). SmartBuff, BuffBroker, ZOMGBuffs and so on for buffs you can cast. BuffWatcher, Auracle, BuffEnough and so on for buffs that others can cast.

The new v4.3.0 addition of adding your own "custom" alerts is great. But please don't add additional functionality for missing buffs.

I actually coded the other piece, and it was a major hog. Obviously not in line with EventAlert. I don't plan on adding it for any future releases.

I could include a checkbox next to the custom addition that would be something to the effect of "notify me when this buff isn't present" or something like that.

Can you provide me with the error message please?

That's not very helpful.

Any errors? What version are you using? Which patch "broke" the mod for you?

Any extra details you can provide would be helpful!

Curtis, what would you think if I took EA and renamed it to BuffAlert or something, and basically rewrote a couple functions so that it would only alert when you're missing a class buff you should have?

Then Thantik or anyone else could just install both, and get both the + and - sides of reminders for when they need to do things.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't.

I could include a checkbox next to the custom addition that would be something to the effect of "notify me when this buff isn't present" or something like that.

Then, it would have the functionality he is requesting, but without me having to bog down the addon with a TON of new buffs people want watched for and the coding for it would be fairly minimal... keeping the addon to my original designs of being very lightweight and easy to use.
