Magic Marker

Version: 20240814

by: neotron [More]

Magic Marker lets you easily classify and mark mobs simply by moving the mouse over them while pressing a modifier key. This allows incredibly fast marking of trash groups. Although not necessary for the addon to function, you can configure the priority and crowd control methods you wish to use on a per mob basis. You can also customize the marks to use for tank targets and each crowd control method. This allows for consistent marking of targets to tank and crowd control in raid and party situations

Features

Mob-level configuration to specify the priority, desired category (i.e Tank or Crowd Control) and applicable crowd control methods.
Automatically learns new crowd control methods as they are discovered.
Prioritize raid icon configuration for tank targets and all crowd control methods.
Prioritize crowd control methods.
Separate priorities for crowd controlling and tanking (optional).
Marks targets in priority order simply my mousing over them.
Automatically learn about new mobs as you encounter them.
Ability to unmark and mark targets manually at the press of a button.
Ability to ignore mobs you don't want to mark.
Never use more raid icons for a specific CC method than there are members of the class in the raid/party (i.e if there are two mages in the raid, there will never be more than 2 targets marked for sheeping).
Option to honor externally marked targets (i.e if someone manually marked a target MagicMarker won't clobber it).
Option to preserve marks on the raid members.
Ability to save a template of the marks on the raid and recall them (not persistant).
Ability to mark members of the raid based on some preset rules.
Full fledged dynamically generated UI to configure all the details (while using minimal amount of memory).
Network syncing for marking, unmarking and sharing of the mob database and mark/cc settings.
Clears used marks when mob dies.
Send a list of marks, mob name and kill/cc method to the raid / party chat channel.
Keybindings to manipulate mob configuration (priorities, category) without opening the mob database, makes initial configuration and adjustments easier.
Ability to select minimum number of mobs to always mark as tank targets.
Ability to import data from MagicMarker_Data (included in the package).

TODO

Add support for MobSpells (extra, but useful, information).
Ability to assign tanks / CCers per symbol (and/or do it automatically - use oRA2 MT list for tanks, and smart order for others (i.e hibernate = boomkin => resto => feral)).
Ability to exclude certain specs from CC counts (i.e never count a feral druid for hibernate).
Improve networking code make multiple users in a raid work better.
Block use of BigWigs specific raid icon when engaged in a boss fight.
More templates for marking key players in the raid such as "mark all healers", "mark all tanks" etc.

Blu_Haze A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 71 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	Is anyone else having an issue where the addon will work perfectly the first couple times, and then completely stop functioning at all until you manually reload the UI? For example I'll zone into an instance, hold down ALT and wave the mouse over a group of mobs which are then marked accordingly. Then after that group is dead by the time we get to the next group of mobs doing the same exact thing no longer marks anything until the UI is reloaded. __________________ Call me Blu.

flanagen A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Can we get an update for Cata, bind elemental, a shaman cc, is not there, and please i beg you...Can you put out some kind of guide/tutorial for this addon. Either on youtube or a good written guide. I searched the web and there is a lot of people that are interested in using this mod but just cant get a hold on it. There is no documentation on how to use this at all, and it is a fairly complex mod. Thank you

I simply cannot get the auto marking part of this to do anything intelligent. The concept is great, but no matter how I set this up, it either doesn't mark anything or it just puts up random symbols with no sense of anything.. sometimes not even including the main symbol i want (skull)..

I want to be able to use this in 5 man heroics. Where I just wave my mouse over the targets and they get marked up like so...

Skull for tank - first kill target
Then marks for whatever cc is available in the group..
for instance..
moon - sheep, trap - square, diamond - hex

I thought that is the way I have it setup.. but I just can't get it to work.

Is this possible? If so.. how do I configure it to do that?

EDIT..

After a reinstall, I got it working.. however I have a question perhaps someone can answer for me..

If I change a mob to CC, it won't mark it as CC until I edit that particular mob in the database and tell it what CC is possible with that mob.. is that Normal? Or is there a better way to do it?

Do you have to create a database for each instance, or is there one that can be downloaded?

If you want it reported here instead just say.

Wowace is better, since there's a ticket tracking system there. Thanks. Just fixed the nil error on first installation. I guess I never tried my database upgrade method on a brand new install.

I don't see a way in the config menu to add these dungeons, is it possible to add new dungeons without having to go into the code?

If not, I'm guessing the addon has been abandoned. Are there any others like it that let you quickly mark targets based on preset priority with just a mouseover?

This is added automatically. Basically as you enter a dungeon and mouse over mobs, they get added to the database. There's no need to manually set it up. It also auto-detects what crowd controls works on mobs (specifically if it succeeds, it gets added).
