I was wondering if there is an addon to descend chat text instead of the standard direction that chat text flows. For example instead of a new line of text in the chat box beginning from the bottom with the old text history on top, I want the complete opposite where you scroll down to see old text and new liens on top as my chat box is placed in the top left instead of bottom left.

Is there such an addon for this?

Anyone know of a lightweight addon that will show you the horizontal positioning of your character to maximize flight speed? (As in, when you're perfectly horizontal to a flat ground?

I'm sick of doing archaeology, leaving my character flying while I run to the bathroom or something, come back near the digsite, but so far up in the air, I find it quicker to just drop off my mount.

I haven't tried any of them:

FlightHUD
LevelFlight
FlyPitch

local f=CreateFrame("Frame",nil,UIParent)
f:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",-50,150) -- modify this line for positioning. See this for details.

local UnitIsUnit, UnitPitch, IsMounted, deg =
       UnitIsUnit, UnitPitch, IsMounted, math.deg
f:Hide()
f:SetSize(1,1)
f:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG")
local t=f:CreateFontString(nil,"ARTWORK")
t:SetPoint("RIGHT",f,"RIGHT")
t:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF",20,"OUTLINE")
t:SetTextColor(1,0.82,0)
f:SetScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,uID)
    if (event == "UNIT_AURA") and UnitIsUnit("player",uID) then
        if IsMounted() then
            self:Show()
            t:Show()
            t:SetText()
        else
            self:Hide()
            t:Hide()
        end
    end
end)
f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")
f:SetScript("OnUpdate",function() -- couldn't find any event indicating pitch, thus OnUpdate
    t:SetText(("%.3g°"):format(deg(GetUnitPitch("player"))))
end)

Untested. How to use. Report back with issues.

From what I coould see before the realms went down, it worked fine, except it wouldn't show the info until I left the sub zone I was in. (Like, I was in Karnum's Glade, and when I mounted, nothing. When I left Karnum's Glade, it popped up. If I re-entered while still mounted, the info was still there.)

Hm, so I suppose IsMounted doesn't return true yet when the respective UNIT_AURA fires. Give me a second.

end)

Can't think of any other events that fire on mounting right now. If you're bothered with efficiency, do an /eventtrace and see if any events pop up whenever you mount/dismount, then tell me those and I'll see what I can do.

Is there an addon that just simply tells me my runic power, with simply a number? No bar, nothing else, just the actual number?

Looking some sort of working classtimer for MoP, atm neither ClassTimer nor RoguePowerBars (which is the one I on live) is working properly, meaning be able to give timers priorities.

Thanks in advance

Most of my main abilities on my Hunter are macro'd with:

/petattack [@pettarget,noexists]

Wondering if there is a way to combine with Rabid. I like to keep my pet on Passive and leave it to attack whatever I first put it on or attack first.

I've tried "/cast Rabid [@pettarget,noexists]" but it doesn't seem to work. It doesn't work because it makes my pet act like it's on Assist instead of Passive. I like leaving my pet on Zon'ozz, Yor'sahj/Yor'sajh and the like (I have no clue how to spell that boss's name..).

Sorry, kinda bad at making macros. Any help is appreciated.

No, /cast commands check conditions against the target you're casting on. Only special commands like /focus, /target, /petattack and so on can check against currently targetted unit. You can read more about it here:

Haha, tricky. He must have updated it in the past 12-18 hours because I checked it when I first watched the video.

Thank you for your help!
