SpellAlerter

Version: 2.03

by: kollektiv [More]

What it does

SpellAlerter is a basic spell alert mod based off the original SpellAlert mod. See the images for the different alert types you can setup.

Features

Add any spell and ability you want to be alerted to
Three filters: Enemy Spellcasts, Enemy Buffs, and Friendly Debuffs
Additional filtering for players only (reduces spam from things such as Mirror Image)
Each alert can have its own sound play. It's similar to making triggers in MSBT but a lot more simplified.
Optional minimap icon
Data broker plugin
All options are inside the GUI. Type /sa or /spellalerter to access them.

Localization

It should work with all language clients. It is currently only localized in English and Simplified Chinese. If you'd like to help translate see the Locales.lua file.

Bug Reports and Feature Requests

Please post them in the comments.

Changelog

2.03

Added Simplified Chinese translations
Localization is now done through CurseForge
Fixed bug with Target Only option

2.02

The arrow will now point to the left if the source's target is the same as the source
Added an option to filter players on spell casts. Helps reduce spam (ex. Frost Bolts from mirror images)
Added an option to toggle class colors on names. This is only 100% reliable in arenas
Added an option to select text font
Added an option to replace player name with any word
Added an option to toggle showing targets. Select between arrow model and text
Added an option to play a sound for each spell. Similiar to making MSBT triggers.
Added a list for spell cast ignores. These are spells you don't want showing targets (ex. Howl of Terror).
Added verifying and case formatting for list additions
Added a profile system
Added toggable minimap icon
Added localization support
Removed creating new anchors. I've never seen anyone use this.
Added a Sounds.lua file. Adding sounds is very easy. Open Sounds.lua and follow the instructions carefully.
Added Ace3 libraries
Added LibDBIcon-1.0 library
Added LibDataBroker-1.1 library - Hence there's support for LDB launcher display addons
Added LibSharedMedia-3.0 library
Added !ClassColors support
Created a FauxScrollFrame AceGUI widget for 'select' types in options

For the most recent changes, see the addon page. For a compilation of the all the changes, see the Changelog file in the zip.

[2009/01/20 18:11:45-472-x1]: SpellAlerter-1.36\SpellAlerter.lua:154: table index is nil --- Not even sure why it lists 1.36 since I downloaded the new version yesterday. Result being that the mod doesn't work at all. Last edited by keLston : 01-20-09 at 05:16 PM.

I have no idea how it's doing this. I'm going to be redoing the entire addon soon so stay tuned.

Taint errors

I'm getting a lot of taint errors with the latest version of SpellAlerter.

Code:

1/9 15:34:42.734  Global variable BATTLEFIELD_SHUTDOWN_TIMER tainted by SpellAlerter - Interface\FrameXML\BattlefieldFrame.lua:245 BattlefieldFrame_UpdateStatus()
1/9 15:34:42.734      Interface\FrameXML\BattlefieldFrame.lua:49 BattlefieldFrame_OnEvent()
1/9 15:34:42.734      BattlefieldFrame:OnEvent()
1/9 15:34:42.734  Execution tainted by SpellAlerter while reading BATTLEFIELD_SHUTDOWN_TIMER - Interface\FrameXML\BattlefieldFrame.lua:246 BattlefieldFrame_UpdateStatus()
1/9 15:34:42.734      Interface\FrameXML\BattlefieldFrame.lua:49 BattlefieldFrame_OnEvent()
1/9 15:34:42.734      BattlefieldFrame:OnEvent()
1/9 15:34:42.734  An action was blocked because of taint from SpellAlerter - LFGQuery()
1/9 15:34:42.734      Interface\FrameXML\LFGFrame.lua:478 SendLFGQuery()
1/9 15:34:42.734      Interface\FrameXML\LFGFrame.lua:28 LFGParentFrame_OnEvent()
1/9 15:34:42.734      LFGParentFrame:OnEvent()

It's also corrupting wow's built-in focus frame. Is there any way you can make the mod a little more default-ui friendly?

kostisr A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Hello I was wondering if there was a way to disable the new option that shows who is the target of the spell being cast. I cant find an option like that in the gui. Thx in advance.

Archmage^ A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Is there any way to align the text to center?It's not so beatiful when nicknames or spellnames are very small or very big. Btw imba addon I use it since release, great job.If you can tell me how I can fix this small detail would be great.

wondermore A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 1	This addon is almost perfect, do you have any plan to move the ui text to some standalone localization files? I see other addons have localization.enUS.lua localization.deDE.lua etc. If you do so, localization will be a lot easier, and I don't have to tanslate SpellAlerter.lua everytime you release a new version

Hey there, a good suggestion would be perhaps to use some sort of visual difference between a friendly CC and a buff. I think you have it coloreed but perhaps some ** ** or maybe (F) in brackets or something would help just a bit

for arenas not a big deal but just a small thing

Pharaoameise: The friendly debuffs should work. I just tested it in AV and had my friend get debuffed in a duel. Anyways I added a check for group affiliation. Btw Sheep should be Polymorph.

edit: Fonts should be fixed now too

Great, that seems to work now, i can access the Options now, but the Addon itself still seems to not work, does not show any Spell actually so far, lemme test something, i will Edit later.

Edit:Okay the Addon works now

very nice.

Now, only an Option is missing to show if a Budddy is in a CrowdControl

thanks for this Addon.
