KTracker - Better than TMW. Bonus: OnmiCC
Greetings everyone,
I am a fan of TellMeWhen addon but I always found it a bit limited in options (may be too limited), so first I tried to modify its files but I ended up giving up and creating a new one from the ground up, keeping same functionalities but coded differently and taking in consideration memory usage, flexibility and more.
It is already shared on CurseForge if you want to try it and if you are familiar with TellMeWhen addon.
You can find some screenshots at the bottom of this post.
Current Version: 1.2.0
Features (Changelog)
- Tracks cooldowns, internal cooldows, buffs and debuffs, reactive spells and totems.
- Integrated cooldown count, so you no longer need to use a distinct addon (i.e: OmniCC or CooldownCount). This feature if automatically disabled if either of the addons is detected.
- 64 groups saves per account while having extra settings saved per character (position, status, scale...)
- 12x12 groups can be created.
- No need to create the groups of icons for other character, simply "Edit" them on the new toon, enable then save.. Done!
- Possibility to share groups of icons with players using the addon, individually or to all party/raid members.
- Single icon named WoTLKDebuffs to track all WoTLK raids debuffs (ICC and RS).
- Long list of units to watch auras (buffs and debuffs) on, with the possibility to track them on a custom unit (example: Using the name of the player).
- Support for ButtonFacade
How to Use?
- When first installed or after reset, you will have a single default group with 4 icons, you can edit it to change its name, number of columns and rows ... etc. If not, skip to next.
- Start by writting the group name, selecting the spec you want to use it for, number of columns and rows, whether to show out of combat or not, play with horizontal and vertical spacings (slider or type then hit enter) and click on "Save"
- Done! Start adding your icons.
Using same group on another character
- All groups of icons are saved per account, so whenever you log into another character, you will see that group on the list but disabled. Simply right-click on it to enable it on the new character.
- Once this step is done, all you have to do is to edit the group and change the spacing, spec, the combat status ... etc.
- Changing the name, columns and rows will affect the the group itself, which means the changes will be seen on all characters, so what you basically have to do on your new character is move, resize, change spacing if you want.. etc
How to share a group of icons?
If you want to send a group of icons to another player, or to your party/group raid, 3 steps are required:
- Make sure both sides have sync enabled.
- Tell the other player or raid members to have the config window open (not sure if required).
- Right-click on the group then click "Share".
- Enter the name of the player or leave empty to share with all your party/raid members
If you don't wish to receive or send groups of icons, simply disable addon sync. Voilà!
Wrath of Lich King - Single Icon Debuffs
I have included a single icon WoTLK debuffs that tracks all possiblity and must be tracked debuffs in Icecrown Citadel (ICC) and The Ruby Sanctum (RS). Simple and easy, here is how to do it:
- Create a new group of icons and name it whatever you want, I named mine WoTLKDebuffs :D.
- Set the name of the icon you want to use to "WoTLKDebuffs" then enable the icon.
- Set the icon type to "Buff and Debuff", its subtype to "Debuff" and make sure to set the unit to watch. If it's you, then leave in on "Player".
- Select when you want to show the icon. I personally set it to "Present" to show only if I have the debuff.
- Tick "Show Timer" if you want to see the countdown on it.
- DO NOT tick "Only Mine" because that will mess tracking debuffs (not tested though).
- If you want to not miss it at all, feel free to pick an animation effect, I personally have it on "Pulse" so it annoys me until I see it and react.
- That's about it! Go raid and test it yourself.
