Argus

Version: 1.0 r011
by: burny_dd [More]

Addon that monitors raid instances for characters inside.

The primary purpose is to keep track of raid instances for transmog or achievement runs. If you are out of town it is kind of hard to learn about a group forming for that kind of runs. This addon points out any characters it finds in instances you are interested in.
Since you might barge in on closed guild runs or people minding their own business please be tactful when contacting them about joining. :-)

Features

  • Monitor selected raid instances for characters inside.
  • Monitoring can happen cyclic via interval time (configure interval of 1..120 min) or manually on click.
  • Sound and/or text notifications when characters are found in tracked instance that was previously empty.
  • Optionally exclude saved instances from monitoring.
  • Whisper characters directly by using the 'Whisper' button in log window. No problems with tricky names with accents, umlauts and other creative spelling.
  • DataBroker support.
  • Profile support for settings.
