TellMeWhen



Join the official TellMeWhen Discord! https://discord.gg/NH7RmcP Ask questions, share configuration, or just hang out.

TellMeWhen is a WoW addon that provides visual, auditory, and textual notifications about cooldowns, buffs, and pretty much every other element of combat. TellMeWhen is...

Flexible

Icons can track any of the following things:

  • Cooldowns
  • Buffs/Debuffs
  • Reactive abilities
  • Multi-state abilities
  • Temporary weapon enchants
  • Totems/Wild mushrooms/Ghouls/Lightwell
  • Rune cooldowns
  • Internal cooldowns
  • Others' cooldowns
  • Diminishing returns
  • Spell casts
  • Loss of Control effects
  • ...And any combination of over 110 other things with easy-to-use conditions.

Customizable
  • Icons can be set to show or hide based on the status of their basic element and their usability based on range, duration, stacks, and resources.
  • All icons can show the standard cooldown animation to display their status, and are compatible with OmniCC.
  • There are over 110 conditions that can be configured to make an icon show only under very specific or very general circumstances.
  • You can set a sound to play when important attributes of an icon change.
  • You can also set text to be announced/displayed when an icon's attributes change.
  • Icons can show at different transparency levels based upon the usability/existence of what they are checking.
  • Icons can show status bars on top of them, indicating the required resources and their remaining cooldown/duration in a different way.
  • Icons can be skinned with Masque (formerly ButtonFacade).


Instructions

To lock and unlock TellMeWhen, type "/tmw" or "/tellmewhen".

When you first log in with TellMeWhen installed, you will see one group of four icons in the center of your screen. To begin using TellMeWhen, right-click on one of these icons, and the icon editor will appear. You need to select an icon type from the dropdown menu and enable the icon, and then configure the icon to suit your needs based on the settings that are available. An explanation of what most settings do can be found in the tooltip displayed when you mouse over a setting.

You can also drag spells from your spellbook, your pet's spellbook, or items from your inventory to quickly set up a cooldown icon for that spell/item. Icons can be spatially manipulated by holding down the right mouse button and dragging them around. When they are dropped on another icon, a menu will appear asking you what you want to do with the icon - Options include Move, Copy, and Swap.

General settings can be accessed via '/tmw options', the Blizzard interface options, or the 'Group Settings' tab of the icon editor.

All available slash commands are:
  • '/tmw' - Toggles TellMeWhen between locked (functional) or unlocked (configuration) states.
  • '/tmw options' - Opens the general settings configuration for TellMeWhen.
  • '/tmw profile "Profile Name"' - Loads a TellMeWhen profile. Profile name is case sensitive, and must be quoted if it contains spaces. (E.g. '/tmw profile "Cybeloras - Aerie Peak"').
  • '/tmw enable global|profile groupID iconID' - Enables the specified group or icon (E.g. '/tmw enable 2 4' or '/tmw enable global 3').
  • '/tmw disable global|profile groupID iconID' - Disables the specified group or icon (E.g. '/tmw disable profile 2 4' or '/tmw disable 3').
  • '/tmw toggle global|profile groupID iconID' - Toggles the specified group or icon between enabled and disabled (E.g. '/tmw toggle global 2 4' or '/tmw toggle profile 3').
  • '/tmw cpu' - Enables and displays a UI for measurements of icon performance. This is an advanced feature; no guidance on reading the data will be offered.

Conditions

Conditions are a very powerful feature of TellMeWhen that allow you to narrow the circumstances under which an icon or group should show. To configure conditions for an icon, click the condition tab on the Icon Editor. Conditions can check a wide variety of things, and I recommend that you explore the condition type menu to see what is available. You can add multiple conditions to an icon, and you can group different conditions together for use with the Boolean operators AND and OR by clicking the parenthesis between each condition.

Conditions are also used for other purposes throughout TellMeWhen.

Meta icons

Meta icons are one other special feature of TellMeWhen that makes it so powerful and versatile. Meta icons allow you to specify a list of other icons to check within the meta icon, allowing you to have a large number of icons for different situations show in the same location on your screen. By chaining meta icons together

Groups

All TellMeWhen icons belong to a parent group. Each of these groups have many settings; some affect their appearance and size, while other affect their functionality. The options for a group can be accessed by typing "/tmw options", or by clicking the group settings tab on the icon editor. Groups can also have conditions set to govern when they are shown and hidden - accessed through the Group Conditions tab of the icon editor, they are configured exactly the same way as icon conditions.


Troubleshooting

PLEASE DIRECT ALL FEEDBACK/BUGS/SUGGESTIONS HERE
  • Make sure that TellMeWhen is not in configuration mode. Type '/tmw' to toggle configuration mode on and off.
  • The most common problem people encounter is caused by not entering the name correctly during configuration. Make sure you enter names EXACTLY as they are named when you mouse over them. For buffs this is often different from the ability/totem/trinket/enchant/talent which casts the buff, so be sure to check. Known buffs and debuffs are shown as a dark purple or a warrior brown color in the suggestion list.
  • If the name of the ability does not work properly, use the SpellID. SpellIDs can be found by looking at the suggestion list that pops up as you begin typing in the name, or by finding the ability on a site such as Wowhead. The spellID is in the url, for example: www.wowhead.com/spell=53351
  • Check the settings of the icon's group.
  • Check the icon's settings in the other tabs of the icon editor.

Is it possible to activate one of the icon animations upon spell failure due to still being on cooldown?

example: Sprint is on cooldown so I have an icon showing the cooldown. I then press my Sprint keybind, but Sprint is still on cooldown so fails to cast, then the icon animates for a few seconds.

There used to be an old cooldown tracking addon that would pulse/grow the spell icon when you tried using it but it was still on cooldown. So I'm trying to recreate something similar with TMW if it's possible.

I *think* I might have gotten it figured out, by only ticking the Show States: Unusable box, but I'll need to try it again with Diffuse Magic once I can re-talent.

This is the string:

Please post the export string of the icon that you are having trouble with. To get an export string, open the icon editor, and click button labeled "Import/Export/Backup". Select the "To string" ... "Icon: #" option, and then press CTRL+C to copy it to your clipboard.

My bad on the Show States. Apparently I needed both the Show States to be ticked, as reflected from my Warrior's setup. Most of my icons are set to show only when it is missing/less than few seconds left.

I tested further and it seems like the icon works only if I track one condition (Stacks or Duration) but not when tracking both.

Is it not possible to do so?

What's supposed to happen is:

Show when LESS than 3 stacks.
Show when LESS than 5 seconds.
Else hide.
If you want it to show when either of these are true, then you need to change the logical operator in the condition from "AND" to "OR". Since you also have a Unit In Combat condition on the icon, you will need to put parentheses around the second two conditions for this to work.

Code:
^1^T^SShowTimer^B ^SType^Sbuff ^SName^STiger~`Power ^SClockGCD^B ^SShowWhen^N3 ^SEnabled^B ^SConditions^T ^N1^T ^SType^SCOMBAT ^t^N2^T ^SType^SBUFFSTACKS ^SOperator^S< ^SName^STiger~`Power ^SLevel^N3 ^SPrtsBefore^N1 ^t^N3^T ^SType^SBUFFDUR ^SPrtsAfter^N1 ^SOperator^S<= ^SName^STiger~`Power ^SLevel^N5 ^SAndOr^SOR ^t^Sn^N3 ^t^SShowTimerText^B ^t^N60431^S~`~| ^Sicon^^

The Show Variable Text option for icons outputs that information to the [Stacks] tag.

To see the icon at all times, enable both the Usable and Unusable options for the Show States & Opacity settings.

To have the icon fade when you are out of range of your target, set the Condition failed alpha (found on the right-hand side of the Icon Editor) to whatever level you desire, and then go into the Conditions tab. Add a Spell in range condition that checks the range of the desired spell on unit "target".

As always, let me know if you need any more help with this and I will be happy to help!
Right now, I have the Usable set to 0% Opacity and Unusable set to 50%. After I click OK and type /tmw to exit the configuration screen, I don't see the buttons.
OK, ignore that. I got it. Hehe. Forgot to set Usuable to 100%. Thanks!

If the Usable opacity is se to to 0% then the icon isn't going to show when the cooldown is usable. Setting it to 0% is the same thing as just unchecking it.
