EventAlert  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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
    • Combo Points

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.

To see the full change log, view the changelog.txt file included in the EventAlert zip file.

On my warlock I had this error:
Code:
Message: Interface\AddOns\EventAlert\EventAlert.lua:363: EAFrame_63167:SetPoint(): EAFrame_71165 is dependent on this
Time: 10/27/10 14:57:12
Count: 2
Stack: [C]: in function `SetPoint'
Interface\AddOns\EventAlert\EventAlert.lua:363: in function `EventAlert_PositionFrames'
Interface\AddOns\EventAlert\EventAlert.lua:124: in function <Interface\AddOns\EventAlert\EventAlert.lua:30>

Locals: (*temporary) = EAFrame_63167 {
 0 = <userdata>
 spellTimer = EAFrame_63167_Timer {
 }
 spellName = EAFrame_63167_Name {
 }
}
(*temporary) = "CENTER"
(*temporary) = EAFrame_71165 {
 0 = <userdata>
 spellTimer = EAFrame_71165_Timer {
 }
 spellName = EAFrame_71165_Name {
 }
}
(*temporary) = "CENTER"
(*temporary) = 100
(*temporary) = 0
I'm not exactly sure what triggered it, but it was during a fight.

Yes I did and yes they are shown as "Enrage" on that menu, but for some reason they still dont work for me.

This is with Lighting Shield Stacking Buff Options disabled (unchecked) and no LS buff on the shaman. As soon as i use LS on myself (not changing the settings) EA goes off on every stack of MW.
This with 4.5.2?

The main options come up, but after clicking Icon Position Options, nothing happens, other ones won't show either with a fresh install.

Edit: Failed, had it at the bottom right, so I couldn't see it, Owned.

Thanks for the quick reply Curtis. To answer you question when i press the "Show/hide Class Alerts" (i assume that's what you mean pls correct me if I'm wrong) MW is listed and has the correct spell id, which made me think (watch out for fire pls) "what if i uncheck this box?" because i had just disabled the addon for now, and BINGO! MW x5 stack triggered EA and only the x5 stack triggered it. SO, that got me thinking more (stand back now). Went into "Show/Hide Stacking Buff Options" and played around with the trigger number of stack, and it's all working correctly IE put 3 as the trigger, EA popped up for stack 3,4,5. Put in 10 as the trigger number, got to 5 stack (which is the limit) and no EA trigger.

In summary, and as a temp "work around" for fellow shamans, /ea opt -> Show/Hide Class Alerts -> Uncheck MW makes it work properly.

For future testing, i am willing to help out in any way for enhance shaman testing, just PM me and I'll give you my email, and will give as much of a detailed feedback as possible to help out if needed for any new changes.

*edit* making sure i didn't miss anything relevant, played around some more with the options on a training dummy. When Lightning Shield and MW is checked to show but under Class Alerts MW is NOT checked off, i get LS counter in first EA icon, MW on first proc (it's still set to show on 5 only) shows in second icon area, then on second MW proc, the overlapping starts. If i leave the setting the same, just DO NOT use LS on myself, everything is fine. Settings are; MW is not checked for Class Alerts, LS not checked off/MW checked off in stack settings everything seems fine (no LS on myself) ; SAME SETTINGS ; cast LS on myself, EA goes off on every MW proc. Seems as tho LS buff, whether tracked or not, is causing problems.

Quick question... in the class alerts section, is Maelstrom Weapon or Lighting Shield listed?

This is exactly the same problem I faced...
I have tried to modify the .lua but failed as the code is more complicated than the previous version ...

DL'ed the newest version today (10/18) and tested it out on my enhancement shaman. Love the charge tracker/time for shield, but Maelstrom Weapon buff doesn't seem to be working correctly. Plays the sound and shows the icon for every stack. I went into /ea opt and found the Show/hide Stacking Buff Options, and have the correct stack number, and checked box for stackes enabled (btw does not have Maelstrom Weapon written on second line, it's blank) and get in chat "Maelstrom Weapon [53817] will now only show alert on 5 charges or more" message, did a /reloadui and even logged out fukky then back in, still the same sound/icon on every stack, with or without the checkbox checked enabled.

after messing around on the training dummy, the Stacking Buff Option value has no effect on the alert. first stack of MW gets the alert going and every stack after.

Lastly, MW and Lightning Shield are stacking on the same first icon.

i apologize for the length, just wanted to give as much information as possible to help narrow down the possibilities of what's not going according to plan
