Raid Watch 2  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.40
by: mangeg [More]

Raid Watch is an addon that shows important events during Boss encounters. It will show these events in the form of messages, warning and timer bars when appropriate.

Raid Watch is inspired by Bigwigs and DBM in many ways but have its own look and feel.

Note If your are downloading this from curse.com or use the Curse Client and have it set to download beta or higher, only beta or higher is synced over there and beta or higher will probably only be made after I have had time to test changes and additions so I know they don't produce errors. But if you want the latest version with all changes during the time of new encounters and so on head over to http://www.wowace.com/addons/rw2/files/ or set your Curse Client to update to alpha versions.

Features

  • Timer bars: Gives an easy overview of given events during an encounter.
    • All timers will move between 2 or 3 anchors depending on their the length of the duration they have left. These anchors can be moved freely and placed individually. You can also configure at what duration they should move to each anchor.
  • Personal warnings: Easy to react to message that is only shown to yourself when it concerns you
  • Messages: Messages show about events happening to the raid or the boss in question.
  • Health frames: Shows the status of important things in an encounter. Can also be used to show other things besides health. One example i the Blood Power stacks in the Deathbringer Saurfang encounter.
  • Raid marking: Automatic raid marks for important events that happen to players or NPCs
  • Directions: For some events you will get arrows pointing towards the point of interest.
  • Customization:
    • Each event that is tracked in an encounter have detailed settings where you can turn of messages, timers and icons individually.
    • Colors and sounds can be individually set for each type of warning for each event.
    • Fonts, textures and colors can also be set on a global space to be able to make fast changes and have a uniform look of all objects.
    • Statistics: You can see how many times you have done each encounter, how many times you defeated it, how many wipes. You can also see your fastest kill so far. All this is recorded separately for 10- and 25-men raid and also for normal and heroic.
  • Load on Demand: All boss mods are in their own modules and are not loaded into memory until they are needed, and this will be done automatically. But can also be loaded manually if needed for configuration before raids.

Including mods for
  • Ruby Sanctum
  • Icecrown Citadell
  • Crusaders Coliseum
  • Ulduar
  • Vault of Archavon
  • 5-men
    • Forge of Souls
    • Pit of Saron

Starting up

When you first install Raid Watch you will have to configure positioning of the plugins as they are all in the middle of the screen as default. To do this simply acces the configuration either use the DataBroker button, mininamp icon or the slash command "/rw2".

In the configurations window click plugins in the list to the left and the click the "Toggle Configuration Mode" button. This will show all plugins and their anchors. Simply drag all the anchors to where you want them on your scree. Once you are satisfied with the positions click the "Toggle Configuration Mode" button again and you are set.

You can then if you want to go into each plugins settings to do more detailed settings, including fonts, colors and positioning them in detail and so on. You can also configure settings for each boss, what kind of warnings you want to see and not. To access these options click on "Boss Mods" and then navigate to the boss you are interested in. Note that you have to click the "Details" button for each ability to show the detailed options.

So i see RW2 is being updated again, what i'd like to know is will it continue to updated throughout WoD. I don't want to sound rude but in past it's felt like like every time I have started using RW2 it just stops getting updated & I have to go back to DBM or Big Wigs. This by far the best Boss Encounter addon & I hope that it will continue to be updated throughout WoD.

Is there anyway to get around this..?
It cant play the sound unless it is selected for some warning, so check again in the settings for the boss you are trying to turn them of for again. if none of the warnings in there have "RW: RunAwayLittleGirl" as selected sound then you mayve have set the default sound to that. To check the default sound go into Plugins -> Alert Plugins -> Warnings and find the default sound setting there.

None of them have such feature as far as I know, and I wont be implementing it either. There is no way to know when a sound have stopped playing so the sound can be turned off again, so the only way would be to have data for every sound file on how long it is to schedule the sound to be turned of.

Hi,

Is there a way to remove the [Encounter Name] or [Module Name] (whichever is the correct usage) from the message sent to the display channel ?

Example,



I want it to be shown as

Icon Skillname Target. (i.e icon Furious Charge: Trattwald)
Can add that as an option for the next version.
