This project is no longer necessary. Asheyla posted an update to DoTimer on 2010-02-02. Please get DoTimer from Asheyla's project page from now on:
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...2-DoTimer.html
====================
This is a fix for DoTimer by Asheyla:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5302-DoTimer.html
As soon as Asheyla posts an update to his addon, I will delete this project.
I'm sure that Asheyla will eventually get around to applying corrections to DoTimer. In the meanwhile, there are some annoying glitches with the current DoTimer, most of which have been caused by changes in World of Warcraft. I think it is important to note that most of the problems users are experiencing with DoTimer are a result of changes to WoW - not bugs in DoTimer.
1- The recent addition of three Shaman spells which cast four totems simultaneously.
2- The recent changes to Hunter trap shared-cooldown categories and cooldown timing.
3- "You are not in a party" spam. Many addons are causing this problem; DoTimer is one of them. Not everyone will experience this issue, but if you are, this FanFix version of DoTimer corrects it. If you still get the spam with this version of the addon, the problem is being caused by one of your other addons. You might want to grab this addon, which suppresses the problem:
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...APartyFix.html
4- A bug in DoTimer related to profile handling.
I wish to note that I did not generate any of the fixes for DoTimer. All four fixes were made by other people. I just applied all the fixes, tested them thoroughly to be sure they work and do not cause problems of their own, and then packaged them for upload here. I give credit to:
----------
**Farmbuyer of wowinterface.com for the Shaman totem fix and the profile fix.**
**cynergy of curse.com for the Hunter trap fix.**
**coani of wowinterface.com for the "You are not in a party" spam fix.**
----------
As soon as Asheyla posts an update to his addon, I will delete this project.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated! I can completely understand only wanting to correct critical bugfixes until DoTimer's author resumes maintenance, and really that's basically what I expected, but I thought I would check anyway
DoTimer->Notifications->Player->Buff Gain. Under event creation, the "match" parameter is Eclipse. I give it a name for the notifications menu, tell it to trigger immediately (0s). Type is timer. I give it a message, "eclipse cooldown" or something similar, with a group name like "alert!". Duration of 30 seconds. Timer anchor and setting are both DoTimer. I do not have any filter settings in place. To clarify, eclipse is actually two separate spells: http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=48517 http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=48518 Eclipse is applied as a buff when a druid critically hits with starfire or wrath. When the buff is applied, a hidden cooldown of 30 seconds is triggered before eclipse can be triggered again. The purpose of the notification timer is to track this 30 second cooldown. When I create the notification above, I am always given the generic "lightning bolt" icon on the timer bar. Alert! Eclipse Cooldown 27s is how the notification reads there: http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/8...0809014657.jpg (you will see DoTimer all over that image, including my buffs, but the "eclipse (wrath)" bar is actually SquawkAndAwe, a moonkin addon, which I'm using as a workaround for this problem right now). The reason an appropriate icon would be particularly useful is that both types of eclipse trigger their own cooldown, meaning that while one is cooling you can try and trigger the other. A correctly colored icon reminds me which eclipse spell I'm trying to proc. Anyway, tried to be as detailed as I could. If you happen to have any bright ideas let me know Edit: clarity

I have a working-for-me fix for the profile copying bug, formally noted as Ticket 16:
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/do-...ying-profiles/ So there's another patch that could potentially be added to this collection. |

welll... the irony .. is that you messed up & forgot to apply the fix dotimer/core/version.lua line 42: if GetRealNumPartyMembers() > 0 then self:Ask("PARTY"); end and there I was wondering why the heck I was getting that "You aren't in a party." spam all over again.. hehe |

Sorry, coani. I don't know how that didn't make it in. I've got it in the file inside my own WTF folder - I must have somehow neglected to package and zip the right file.
I'll fix that right away. Thanks for pointing out my error. |

Not recording all dots
I have an unholy dk ive been using dotimer on. problem is when i cast pestlience to spread my dots to nearby targets within 15 yards, dot timer doesnt always show all my dotted targets. sometimes it shows them all, sometimes it doesnt. there does not seem to be any pattern, rhyme or reason to it, it just sporadically happens but more often than not. it only shows dots on my current target. if i switch to one of my other targets and back to my main target, then it will update with that dotted target but still doesnt show any of the other dotted targets unless i target them.
ive tested it on target dummies in org just to make sure i wasnt crazy and it does the same thing. it doesnt update with the dotted target unless i have target them. but like i said it doesnt happen all the time. on onyxia's lair, when i dot up all the whelps with pestilence, it works fine there. it shows all the dots on all the whelps while i remain on one whelp. any fix or suggestions for this?

Re: Not recording all dots
This is something you should take up with Asheyla when he returns from his hiatus, because what you are experiencing is due to the way DoTimer attempts to prevent "spamming" your interface with undesirable or unneeded timers.
As you noted, if you select a unit as your target, or as your focus, or if you mouseover that unit; DoTimer will track your DoTs on that unit by putting up a timer for each one. Units that are not your target or focus or mouseover yet happen to become affected by one of your DoTs - such as when a Death Knight spreads his diseases to a group via Pestilence - will generally not produce a timer unless you happen to mouse over that unit, or that unit is in direct combat with you. In my opinion - and it's only my opinion - I think that it's better for DoTimer to behave in this way, as it prevents the screen from being filled with a huge number of timers in most AoE situations. It can STILL fill your screen in certain AoE situations if you don't explicitly set a limit on the number of timers that can be displayed at one time; but thanks to the built-in filtering, it doesn't happen very often.

The word "Cooldowns" in your screenshot is the name of the anchor. All you have to do is tell DoTimer to hide the anchor name - there is no need to edit the addon's files.
Go here: Interface Options->Addons->DoTimer Anchors->Cooldowns Anchor Now look in the configuration pane to the right for GROUP NAMES in white text. In that section you will find an option to enable or disable DISPLAY NAMES. Un-check the box to the left of the words DISPLAY NAMES. ----- I suggest you save your current profile, then make a new profile to use for testing purposes. You'll be amazed at all the things you can do with DoTimer - it can take the place of 10 other addons. But there are SO many options that the only way to learn to use them all is to experiment with the addon and play with the various options. |
