PolMonitor  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.1.18.30000
by: Polina [More]

This addon helps you make sure you have all the buffs you should have, that your target and focus target have the debuffs they should have, and that you're using your spell and item cooldowns as often as possible. It does this by letting you set up monitors for the buffs, debuffs, spells/skills and items you're interested in. The monitors appear visually as standard action buttons on the screen.

When everything is ok (you have the monitored buff, your target has the debuff, the cooldown is running, ..) the corresponding button is faded out. When something is missing or the cooldown is up the button becomes fully opaque, signaling that something needs to be done. Buttons that represent skills/spells/items you have can be clicked to trigger the appropriate action.

Use /polmonitor to configure.

- Added target selection (self, pet, target, focus target) to buff monitors.

2008-07-27 - 1.1.6
- Added global options for button fade level, whether to fade the cooldown (this is a hack, it might not work well with cooldown or skinning addons), and whether to register with cyCircled and/or ButtonFacade (requires ui reload to take full effect).
- Added option on target debuff monitors to check current target or the focus target (for keeping track of sheep on my mage, fear on my lock).

2008-07-26 - 1.1.5
- Fixed problem with empty groups not always being draggable

- Groups are now scaleable
- Default target for spell cooldown monitors can now be configured

2008-07-21 - 1.1.0
- Converted to Ace3.
- Added ButtonFacade and cyCircled support. Sadly I couldn't find a good way to dynamically update cyCircled with new/deleted groups, so it will only be able to interact with groups that were there the last time the GUI was loaded.
- Stopped using my own haxed button template. This uglified the buttons somewhat (to my eyes at least), but made it simpler to work with ButtonFacade and cyCircled.

Interesting idea, I'm more interested in debuff tracking and what not. Sounds cool.

nice

okay just registered for this comment

this addon has great potential.. i was searching for something like this for a long time...(hate that shitty cooldown/debuff/buff bars) its just perfect for a shadowpriest... or other classes who need to watch their debuffs...

some missing features:
- that cycirled option sounds nice...
- size options (some of the usual options... )
- KEYBINDINGS!!!! would be awesome.
- intetgrated cooldown... like how long will that shadowword pain last until it fades.

Thx for the great addon.. looking forward to the next versions!

Re: nice

Thanks zeaphyr

Showing cooldown counts and more size/layout options are things I want to add. Not sure about keybindings - personally I just use BindPad for that to bind things directly. Might make the buttons show which key their spell is bound to though.

Really love the addon, had been looking for something like this for a while and couldn't find anything I liked.

As said below, cycircled/more customisable looks would be nice. As would a countdown timer ber (maybe allow to configure it only to show time when below [n] seconds).

1.1.3

Cooldowns, cyCircled/ButtonFacade and scaling is now in.

The buttons use the standard cooldown model, so cooldown mods like OmniCC can be used to modify how they're shown. (There's also an option per monitor to not show the cooldown at all.)

Re: 1.1.3

I realise that this addon is only still in it's early stages, and so far I honestly absolutely love it. Looks amazing combined with cycircled aswell. Placed it next to my threatmeter so I should always be looking at it

A few things though that I don't even know if it's for you to fix or someone else -- but just noticed.

1] The cooldown/duration timer (OmniCC) is, like the button, faded. So it's a little hard to see. Not sure if a work around or something could be implemented here to try and avoid that.

2] This is more of a "It's awesome! But it would be even more awesome if...", basically I have 2 trinkets. Icon of the Silver Crescent (DPS with use), and a PVP trinket. I don't usually have these equiped at the same time, and so if it were possible to have Pol monitor basically check for the cooldown on "/use 13", that would be amazing.

I understand I may be stretching it a little, absolutely love the addon though!

I'm not sure I can do much about the faded cooldowns without having to jump through a lot of hoops. The cooldown object is a part of the button, so when I fade out the button, all parts of it get faded too. Maybe I could add an option to pulse the whole button when the cooldown is about to run out though.

For the trinkets, I've added two ways to do it in 1.1.5 - you can add a separate button for each trinket and use the new "equipped only" option to keep the ones you have in your bags faded, or you can use the new equipment slot cooldown monitor type and select the trinket slot you want to watch.

That's awesome

Do you know of any alternatives to Omni CC that I could try to see if they behave any differently?

Also perhaps the % of fading could be configurable. Completely cosmetic and hardly needed (I quite like the current %), but still a nice touch if its not too hard. Downloading 1.1.5 now

I hacked in the cooldown not fading >.<

There's an option to turn it on/off. I've tested it with OmniCC, cyCircled and ButtonFacade. There's a large chance it won't work well with other cooldown and (especially) skinning addons.

I seem to be having some problems with configuring Pol Monitor, starting at what I think was 1.1.5. Settings don't seem to want to save for the most part - not getting actual errors.

It's still functional on my mian char though, and really loving 1.1.7

Hm, so for your main the settings get stored correctly but not for your other chars? Does it forget everything so you have to re-make your bars every time you log in on the an alt, or does it keep the settings from one alt to the other (in which case it's probably just that you're using the same profile for several chars)?

I haven't (as far as I've noticed) had this happen to any of my chars, but I'll try to reproduce it when I get home from work.

I found a bug which was triggered during cleanup of the old profile when switching between profiles. Pushing out 1.1.8 now with a fix. Let me know if that doesn't fix your problem please.

That very much sounds like the problem I was having. Redownloading it now

Thanks for the updates!
