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.

aww shit. i could have sworn i double checked like 3 times.

The chance of this happening after the next version will be zero because I just hooked the print() function.

Either copy some of the code or make your own, but having an option for it to pulsewould really be appreciated.

There are 3 different addons that do this but all out of date. Plz check them out and consider such a function.

Really appreciate your time.
Thx
The author of Ghost: Pulse 3 states that they will be completing and documenting a stable API for adding pulses to other addons. It is possible that I will harness this when it happens, so if you really want me to do this, keep an eye out for this and PM me once this API becomes documented and stable.

Please add Condition using "GetEclipseDirection"

Would you consider adding a condition that makes use of "GetEclipseDirection". Maybe it's lack of imagination on my part but spell selection seems to be more dependent on the direction than the value of eclipse.

I've been using TMW for two years now, and I depend on it completely for all of my characters. I was excited to see that this new version supports totems as well... if I could just get it to DO it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for taking 4 pages to reply to this, but now that I am getting around to looking at totem icons, I remembered this and wanted to look into it. I am able to get the icon that you described to work fine, but let me know if it still doesn't work and I will try to help you out.

Check the alpha settings of the icon and the stance/combat/spec settings of the group.

Whoops, I put two different mark of the wild spells in and I assumed one was kings. Thanks!

if this is not possable pls say so, or if possable pls explain how as i cant figure it out.

or is there another addon which does this simple task?

thank you in advance

Make an icon that tracks for the buff on you. You cannot and will never be able to click TMW icons in order to cast a spell.

Thank you for your reply. It appears im unable to get your addon to work for me, either its glitched or im unable to configure it correctly.

Ive tracked it both ways (buff and debuff) and yet it still will not show my Denounce buff to alert me when my instant exorcism is available.

It is truly a shame! "will never be able to click TMW icons to cast a spell"

Thanks

Check the alpha settings of the icon. they may still be screwed up. If they aren't, make sure that the group is set to show in the proper stances/specs/combat state.

Hi.

Please could you change (in the next update) a variable "currentSpec" to something else.
It is the same as the one used in the also popular tidy plates: treat plates is and it causes an error as the other addon want to set the number value to your string global variable.

A simple rename of say "TMW_currentSpec" would do the trick.

I have set it manual but this would be a problem at every update you make, unless you change it permanently.

Thanks for you consideration.

P.S: Great addon BTW. I only wish you had a icon blink option that can be set to always blink (say for important thing that come of cool-down) or/and to have another option to set a blink when a count down is almost finished (like last 5 seconds or so).

Sorry, this used to be a local variable but I must have accidentally deleted the local and made it global.

As for the blink option, I may implement some of the API of Ghost: Pulse 3 once it becomes documented.
