I'm looking for a mod I saw that someone else had while I was lowbie tanking. It automatically told if someone used a taunt. These days I have so many issues with hunters leaving growl on so it would be nice to have an addon that lets me know if the pet is stealing my aggro or not.

Try resetting the position on your hunter via /recount gui. This happens to me periodically, and ResetPos always fixes it.

God, finally working! - thank you very much!

[ExCiZieR]

This is pretty much abandoned.

UTOPIA (sorry can't post links yet)

Any chance of an alternative or someone who can update/tweak it a bit for 5.0?
RBS does sort of its job, but no debuffs tracking and hasn't this awesome icon box for quick look whats missing from buffs that CAN be applied. (Utopia users know what im talking about).

Im desperately looking for an alternative

Looking for a lua guy to help me solve an issue; I've got an addon that tracks several different absorbs on my DK. It was made for me by a friend who no longer plays the game. Now with Monks, I'd like to add "Guard" as a possible absorb instead of Blood Shield when I'm playing my Monk.

Would this require extensive rewrite? Would appreciate if anyone could take a look at the code.

Not really. Just replace name and icon for Blood Shield in the table near the top and you should be good to go.

nvm I figured it out myself.

Really don't want to rewrite it every single time i switch character (since I play both). Would this work?

Is there ANY Auction Addon that has been updated to work for Caged Pets?

I'm getting sick of having to manually look up, price, etc. all of my duplicate pets. :S

I've checked Auctioneer and Auctionator, neither have received any comments from the creator since September. AuctionMaster's creator says he has to rewrite the code because all pet cages are labeled as "Pet Cage", so if you enter an auction for one of them, it will sell all of them for the same price. :S

@Denalion: Why not just copy the add-on, and enable one for your monk and one for your death knight? You can custom choose which addons are active on which characters.

Keep in mind, your death knight can also gain guard from the Ox Statue a monk places, so you might want to include that in your Death Knight one as well. I was getting guarded like crazy last night on my rogue.

While I didn't test this, it should work.

If your further want to adjust it, just add any spells you want, then replace references to "Frame7Column" with increasing numbers (correspondent to the index of the "Total" pseudo-spell in the table).

It's also pretty in-efficient and leaking globals. If you want, I could take a look at it when I have some time.

Greetings,

Im looking for an addon that would reverse the sequence of mails in my mailbox. So the first mail in sequence becomes the last. Any ideas?

[omni]

To clarify: I'm looking for a really basic addon, that I might be able to edit myself, where I could just add "Drops Silk Cloth" to the tooltip on mouse over. I know the very basics of lua but I can't understand how or if this is possible when mousing over a hostile mob.

[Protozoa7]

Looking to have Ora3 sort the cooldown tracker based on class rather than duration.

i.e 3 Warriors drop demo banner all cd's are in the same area of the list no matter the time desparity

Recently tranferred from Bartender4 to bBars. Seeing how bBars has very minimal in-game configuration..

-How would I make the stacks text smaller? Like on pots, healthstones, ect. The numbers are going with a "in your face" attitude.
-- Screeny --

-How would I deactivate the fade when the ability is not usable or out of range? I found this code in the addon LUA (not wtf) and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with it. Would I just change the right side to "False" or something?

local IsUsableAction = IsUsableAction
local IsActionInRange = IsActionInRange

[Deleted]

You could probably do:

local dummy = function() return true end
local IsUsableAction = dummy
local IsActionInRange = dummy

No guarantees though.

[Jeremypwnz]

Works like a charm, thanks!

I feel like I've been here a lot lately. How would I add a 1 pixel black border to DBM timers? With a 1 pixil spacing between each timer? (Can I do this?)

You can add spacing between the bars in the ingame config of DBM.

I can't remember exactly how I added my border around the bars, but here is my DBT-Template.xml. This will add a border to your bars, and it will look like this (not the color though):


I recommend backing up your DBT-Template.xml before trying it out. Just copy the raw paste data at the bottom into your file and it should work.
