MedAlert

very nice little addon, would you be willing to add a option for hunter pets i hate it when my pet dies and i didnt even know it was on low health.

I have changed it myself so instead of it watching player or focus it, for me it watches player or pet . some other hunters out there might want the feature.

edit: i also noticed that your .toc file still shows 40000 and version 1.04 instead of 40100 and 1.05 .

(This is "fredddredd" posting under a pseudonym, as WoWInterface seems to have forgotten me - could be a short while before I can post an update, therefore. The current level seems to work fine with 4.1, apart from having an OOD toc, for what it's worth.)

Point taken; I'll give it a mull. Although I must admit that I'm wondering how much longer I'll actually maintain this - I'm finding other ways of getting the same info that meet my own needs.

Sorry for the reply delay. Lost track of updates to this after the new year and stopped playing for a while after too many pre-4.0.3 heroic healing shocks to the system. Nice to see a new update to this .

The percentage certainly isn't distracting here. It may be for some people, but not for others, so the option not to show it is great. But two different values shown likely would be; have to process twice as much info in the same amount of time.

Still not a fan of showing the exact health amount once past the threshold as opposed to showing that the actual threshold number has been passed. Basically because its easier/faster to recall from memory that "past a (certain set percentage) number is critical, that number is now showing and I must act now". Its slower seeing various different (low) numbers and having to translate that into urgency.

There is a difference (size of difference varies between people) between having to perform that urgency judgement with a steady, well known, static number and numbers that vary all the time.

Issue with v1.03b. The text appearing onscreen when your health falls below a certain percent...doesn't reflect your set percentage. For example, have it set to "90". But instead of the (non-repeating) text message alerting you to 90% health, you get the following: "88%". Another go and its "89%".

It appears to be alerting what your health is at the particular moment it crosses the threshold instead of alerting that the actual set threshold has been crossed. Have memories of it alerting at the exact percentages you had it set to in earlier versions. But if those memories are wrong, still would be nice to have it respect what your alert percentage setting is; TNE Low Health Alert did.

Also for reference, LibSink-2.0 has nothing to do with Ace3; it can function without it. And the :Pour(...) method is totally limited by the output the user chooses to use. For example, if they want to output to chat, they won't get a font size of 36 if that's what you've set it to. If they output to MikSBT, there is more flexibility in the colors and font size you can use. And so on.

Thankyou!!!

Great addon - I love the repeating factor of the health warning. Is there a way to increase the gap though? For example if I want to be warned every 5% or 10% from the threshold I set that would be great. Also, maybe just added an increase in the font size if that is possible at all. I know WoW is limited in the font size to 32 I think so it may be maxed already.

Great add though.

But that addon does not have the siren effect or onscreen message, nor is it working.

Any chance you could add the option of colorizing the whole screen when health is low, like this addon....

Tremendous work on this. With both MedAlert v1.0 and v1.01, no CPU time used on idle and very (very) little when active in combat: 0.011-0.025 CPU/second every other tick when taking damage, measured with OptionHouse. The best performance of any similar mod I've ever tested (including my old favorite--now dead: Low Health Warning).

One big issue with the new v1.01, though. The onscreen Message is now spamming on every percentage change of health under the warning threshold. Which is more than a little bothersome here. Sure, for some people, the constant text alerts can be useful. But not everyone; the graphic remaining up as long as you are under the threshold is more than enough. Its so bothersome here that have reverted back to v1.0.

Perhaps change that to be a selectable option with the default being as it used to be in v1.0? As in the message shows up a single time for a few seconds when your health reaches the set threshold percentage, then goes away.

As to other features, glad you were able to add the choice of monitoring the focus target without it affecting CPU usage. But hopefully can limit the piling on of features to keep this slim . LibSink-2.0 output for a choice of where to direct the text Message might be something. As well as LibSharedMedia-3.0 support for a choice of warning sounds. But as it is--other than the v1.01 spam problem--its great.
