O-Wheely! - Buffs and Macros on your Mousewheel
Version 1.02
by <Damage Inc> of (EU)Draenor - email damageinc [at] theedgeofthevoid.com
What does O-Wheely! do?
Buffs!
Rolling your mousewheel will intelligently buff you, your target and nearby members of your party/raid automatically.
Macros!
When no buffs are needed, or in-combat, macros can be defined on mousewheelup/down.
BuffReminders!
O-Wheely reminds you about missing buffs in the standard UI error frame
(where messages like "Out of Range" and "You can't do that yet" normally appear)
so you don't forget to buff yourself, your target, your party or your raid
Camera Zoom!
Camera-zoom still works too, just hold the rightmousebutton when scrolling
What Buffs does O-Wheely! remind me about/cast?
Self Buffs
O-Wheely! remembers your last Blessing,Aura,Aspect,Mage Armor,Warlock Armor,Shaman WeaponBuffs and Rogue Poisons,
reminds you when they expire and will recast them when you roll the mousewheel
Party/Raid Buffs
O-Wheely! checks nearby party/raid members, reminds you when they need one of your buffs and casts them when you roll the mousewheel
Group buffs are used (if you have reagents) so long as at least 4 players are in range/need the buff.
Single-target buffs are used otherwise - so no wasting reagents on latecomers/when rebuffing after deaths etc.
Situational Buffs
O-Wheely! will remember when you cast certain spells on yourself or party/raid members, will remind you when they expire and recast them when you roll the mousewheel.
Self-Buffs are remindered/recast until you cancel an active buff (even after logout)
Buffs cast on others are remindered/recast until you leave party/raid or logout.
Note: "/ow sreset" clears all situational non-self-buffs (at the request of raiders!)
Hunters
Mousewheeling toggles between combat and runspeed Aspects.
Paladins
Mousewheeling will enable Crusader Aura when mounted and your last Aura when dismounted.
Full details of the buffs cast for your class appears on the Interface/Options screen (/ow)
What Macros does O-Wheely! cast?
Use "/ow macro" (or Interface/Addons/O-Wheely!/Macro Configuration) to access the macro configuration screen.
There are presets available for most classes or you can enter you own macros for MouseWheelUp and MouseWheelDown.
These will be called when there are no buffs required or when you're in-combat.
Note:
If no macro is defined, the following spells will be cast in-combat.
Paladins (MouseWheelDown): Last non Crusader Aura (Self)
Hunters (MouseWheelDown): Last non-runspeed Aspect (Self)
Getting Started
The first time you play a character, cast your favourite buffs
(Paladin: Blessing/Aura, Hunters: Aspect, Mage: Shield, Warlock: Armor, Shaman: WeaponBuffs, Rogue: Poisons).
O-Wheely! will then reminder/recast these anytime you're not "resting" (e.g. in a city).
FAQ
Q - Is this an ACE/ACE2/ACE3 Mod?
A - No - partly because I'm not familiar with ACE and partly because it wouldn't greatly benefit from ACE's framework/libraries.
It's very low-cpu and low-memory - it typically uses < 60kb memory and almost no CPU.
Q - I'd like to customise the buffs I'm giving.
A - I've tried VERY hard to make buffing so simple that no configuration is required.
If you have a suggestion as to how O-Wheely! could buff 'smarter' do please let me know.
Q - I'd rather not use Group Buffs in some situations - how can I?
A - Either carry no reagents (lol!) OR hold LeftMouseButton when scrolling to prevent any group buff being used

Common/Known Issues
Q - (Paladins and Hunters) In combat, mousewheeldown toggles my Aura/Aspect on and off - why?
A - You entered combat with Crusader Aura/Aspect of the Cheetah/Pack so the mousewheel was setup to replace it.
I can't change this until combat ends and buffing yourself with an Aura/Aspect you already have cancels it!
Q - (Paladins and Hunters) MousewheelDown isn't removing my mount/runspeed Aura/Aspect in combat
A - If you've created a macro/chosen a preset for MouseWheelDown, that will overrides this function.
To restore it, select "Do Nothing" for MouseWheelDown.
Q - I've cancelled a situational buff but O-Wheely! keeps rebuffing me with it.
A - You need to cast and then immediately cancel a buff for O-Wheely to stop rebuffing it automatically.
Q - Why isn't Shift/Control/Alt+Mousewheeling working?
A - It's possible you have specifically bound these to other functions
To check what bindings exist ow checkbindings" - a list of any mousewheel bindings will be shown.
Shift+Mousewheel is bound BY DEFAULT to Action Bar Paging
CTRL+Mousewheel is bound BY DEFAULT to Vehicle Control in WOTLK
You can override these bindings by selecting Shift/Ctrl/Alt options on the "/ow" options screen
You do NOT need to remove the camera bindings - I override these automatically.
Q - Why don't [button:1] modifiers work in OWheely macros (/ow macro)
A - WoW discards mousebutton information when you scroll the wheel - sorry about that...
Q - I've NOT selected CTRL/ALT/SHIFT+mousewheel (/ow) but it still works when I hold CTRL and scroll the wheel - why?
A - If you have NOTHING bound to CTRL/ALT/SHIFT+Mousewheel WOW just ignores the modifier entirely.
Q - I've selected CTRL/ALT/SHIFT+mousewheel (/ow) and macros with modifiers like [mod:alt] don't work?
A - WoW discards modifiers if they're specifically bound.
To use them, uncheck CTRL/ALT/SHIFT in "/ow" and remove any keybindings shown in "/ow keybindings".

New version uploading ASAP
Note: Lack of time means this isn't as thoroughly tested as I'd like so any feedback you have I'll try to address as soon as I can... Main changes are Group Buffs (Prayer of Fortitude/Arcane Brilliance/Gift of the Wild) now address entire Raid - threshold to use them is now 4 people requiring them. Simplified Situational Buff cancellation - to cancel rebuffing just cast and immediately cancel a buff Mages: Warlock Pets will now be buffed with Arcane Intellect Priests: Shaman Spirit Wolves will no longer waste your mana on Power Word: Fortitude for their short lives Fixed bug causing Shamans going from dual to single wield to keep getting their offhand weaponbuff. |

This does mean it will buff things like Spirit Wolves - which is probably a waste of time and mana...

has this been updated to monitor buffs raid-wide?
eg: arcane brilliance should no longer check for 3 members of a group missing it, but instead the entire raid. also, can you add pets to the buff-list when scrolling? |

Re: Buffs on shaman
It's fixed in the next version but I didn't want to make everyone upgrade for something so easily fixed... |

Buffs on shaman
On my shaman, when i respec or change weapon buffs from windfury to flametongue etc O-wheely keeps trying to cast the last weapon buff, even if i have a shield in the off hand and i had Windfury on the offhand weapon, so far all i can do to fix it is remove addon .lua in the WTF.

Righteous Fury is a situational buff - it will only cast if you've previously cast and it and not cancelled it (e.g. it's expired normally and needs renewing) - it's not auto-cast for Paladins because the Holy guys complained about that
Furthermore - some players are reporting issues with buff expiry - basically the API isn't reporting it correctly in some cases - I fixed this for most people in 1.0 but some people still seem to get weird results in some cases. This problem is wholly with Blizzard - if they don't report the buff expiry time accurately then I can't tell if you cancelled it or it just expired... RF works AOK on my Level 70 Human Paladin tho so...

OK I've gotten the error to stop. Blessing will cast now. Auras switch while mounted. But, Righteous Fury still won't cast. I've tried disabling auto selfcast and using the key modifier to try it. Still nothing. I'm a level 72 Pally. The only addon that I enable when I try this is OWheely. Thanks for your help. Any other suggestions?

Re: Error message
Delete the OWheely addon directory entirely and redownload the latest version and install that. If the error persists let me know exact message/file/lineno - also your class, race and level - and what version of the client you're using (EU, US, FR, DE, ES, RU) etc. |

Error message
Ever since the new version I get an error message about the Owheeley.lua in the addons directory line 37: "abouttextbuffs" is a nil value. Also, the older versions are still buffing the blessing and auras but not righteous fury. I've tried turning off all my other addons except that one. Still no luck. Any ideas?

Happens to me constantly when I'm developing add-ons - to the degree I have my macros backed-up and I just restore them when I'm done... I thought the WOTLK change to macros being stored server-side would fix this but amazingly it stills loses them (and my keybindings at the same time)... I'd raise this with Blizzard but there's no way for EU players to post into the US Addon/Macros forums and they ignore the EU one...
