NOTE: Please delete all CTMods you have installed before installing the new versions.
CTMod 2.0
This patch brings CTMod to version 2. With this update comes a couple of completely reworked mods, with new features, more optimized code and drastically decreased memory footprint. Overall, all the reworked mods should run much smoother than before. Another major structure change is that all of our mods now come with an embeddable library. This means that we can provide an easy to use, efficient and cool control panel. Similarly, all of the rewritten mods aim to be very memory and processing power efficient. The library helps with this by providing tools to facilitate faster development cycles and an easy way to create frames on-demand, instead of at load time. This is a theme that you will encounter in all of our mods from now on. Also, all mods now feature per-character settings only. Additionally, soon to come is a feature to import settings from other characters.
We are very excited to bring you this update. It fixes a lot of the things that people have disliked with CTMod in the past, mainly traces of inefficiencies and CT_MasterMod dependencies. It also provides a much improved control panel, giving the user a better view of the options. Thanks for using CTMod, and we hope that you will like our new mods as much as we do. Below is a more comprehensive list of mod changes.
CT_Core
Formerly 'CT_MasterMod'. Several of our smaller mods have been combined into this mod. Please note that if you only use a few of the features, the other features will remain disabled and take up almost no memory at all. Below is a more clear-cut list of changes:
- Coded specifically for the 2.0.1 patch.
- Adds a ”CT²” control panel icon. While it is anchored to the minimap by default, it can easily be dragged to anywhere on the screen.
- Casting bar timer greatly improved. Now reserves space for the timer, which means that it will always be properly displayed.
- The casting bar timer now supports Blizzard's enemy casting bar option, if it is enabled.
- Added option to hide chat arrows.
- Improved the chat scrolling and timestamp functionality to be much more efficient.
- CT_MasterMod's options are now a part of CT_Core.
- CT_QuestLevels is now a part of CT_Core.
- CT_TickMod is now a part of CT_Core.
- CT_PlayerNotes is now a part of CT_Core.
- CT_HailMod is now a part of CT_Core.
CT_BuffMod
Featuring a complete rewrite, CT_BuffMod is now the most customizable and efficient buff frame replacement out there. Featuring dozens of new features from the original version, you can now make the buff frame display exactly the information you want. Below is a listing of new features:
- Coded specifically for the 2.0.1 patch.
- Unparalleled efficiency and customizability.
- Now supports ”buff timers” - each buff can display a visual timer as its background texture.
- Support for buff frame resizing has been added. Simply unlock the window and drag the bottom right corner.
- Also displays item buffs, implementing CT_ItemBuff functionality.
- Features an in general much sleeker look.
CT_RaidAssist
This version of CT_RaidAssist is mainly a minor recode to make it usable in combination with the new UI changes. As such, there are barely any new features. Some features have also been removed in order to comply with said UI changes. Below is a listing of changes:
- Coded specifically for the 2.0.1 patch.
- You may not use the options window in combat. This is a restriction we wish to remove, but it will likely
- not happen before the release of CT_RaidAssist 2.
- Target Management has been disabled. We hope to restore this functionality soon (before CT_RaidAssist 2).
- Removed option ”Hide Offline Members”.
- Removed sorting types ”Custom” and ”Virtual”.
- Removed buff recasting.
- Removed debuff curing and /racure.
- Removed targeting support from Emergency Monitor.
- Experimental – CT_RABossMods included, but not tested.
- Experimental – Added ”Healing Range only” support for Emergency Monitor. Untested.
CT_MailMod
With the release of this patch, we wanted to make CT_MailMod a bit more intuitive. As such, we have implemented several of the commonly requested features. Below is a listing of changes:
- Updated to work with the 2.0.1 patch.
- Removed text added to mails so that they can be auto-deleted when opened.
- Removed auto stacking of items. We wish to reimplement this some time in the future.
- Added option to block trades while using the mailbox.
- Added option to remove confirmation boxes for Mass Mail and Open All.
- When mailing money, the subject field will be auto-filled in, should it otherwise be empty.
