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.

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. |

actually AFAIK "the big bug" about dotimers is that it now shows buffs/debuffs of the whole raid instead of yours only.
I'm pretty confused noticing that you have made a fix but did not fix this obvious issue. also there's an annoying bug that prevents from placing the frame where you want it: as soon as i release the mouse, it moves away somewhere else (like if it didn't get the coordinates correctly). |

Interestingly, I have the exact same Notification for my Druid - except I move it to a custom anchor where I display short-duration buffs and procs and important (and short) cooldowns.
And you're right: It uses the generic "lightning bolt" symbol. I honestly had never noticed it before I went in-game to check it after reading your message. I guess that in live play my attention was never drawn to it, instead focusing on the text in the timer bar and the remaining duration. As far as I was able to determine, there is no way to change the icon using the current version of DoTimer. So this would be a great new feature to suggest to Asheyla. |

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

As I state in the description, "I did not generate any of the fixes for DoTimer. All three fixes were made by other people. I just applied all the fixes, tested them to be sure they work and do not cause problems of their own, and then packaged them for upload here."
I plan to perform bug fixes and changes required for compatibility with future World of Warcraft patches. I do not plan to add any features or make any substantial changes. The only thing on the "to-do" list for this project is to keep the addon working, to document the changes made, and to update the .toc file. I don't want a separate addon project that will run in parallel with DoTimer; this project is just to hold over DoTimer users until Asheyla gets back to work and posts an update. The feature you want sounds like a useful one to add. I suggest you request it on the DoTimer project page so that Asheyla will see it. You might also send a private message to Asheyla so that your suggestion doesn't get lost on that page. edit: Are you sure you're setting up your Notifications correctly? I use several custom timers with the Notifications module myself, and they display using the unique icons, not the generic "lightning bolt" icons that appear with the preview/test timers. Give me an example: Describe, as thoroughly as you can, one of the custom timers you have created. Let me see if I can duplicate the issue, or if I can guide you through the process of setting it up so that the unique icon is displayed instead.

Are you an addon author in general, or did you mostly just take these fixes and package them to help out the community? Do you plad on adding anything to this fan fix other than bug corrections?
The reason I ask - there is a change I have wanted badly for a long time that is forcing me to use another addon. When creating a custom notification as a timer, it always uses this generic "lightning" icon. I would love for it to use the icon of the spell/buff/etc that triggered the notification instead. If this is beyond the scope of what you are willing/able to look into I understand, but I thought I'd check. Thanks for posting this bugfix package for us. |
