TellMeWhen   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
TellMeWhen provides a flexible system of icons for displaying vital information (and only vital information) about cooldowns, buffs, debuffs, and reactive abilities... always in a consistent place on your screen.

Some examples of things you can do with TellMeWhen:
  • Display an icon when a clearcasting buff procs
  • Display an icon when an ability or boost trinket is finished cooling down and is ready to use
  • A death knight could have icons appear to show when Freezing Fog procs, when Rune Strike is usable, and when Horn of Winter drops and needs to be refreshed
  • A mage could have a Polymorph icon appear when the mob they've set to focus becomes unsheeped
  • A rogue could monitor their own stack of Deadly Poison on a mob, and have icons appear when they need to reapply poisons to their weapons

You choose which spells, abilities, items, buffs, and debuffs TellMeWhen shows. Cooldown icons can be shown when an ability/item is either usable or is unusable. Buff/debuff icons can be shown when the buff/debuff is either present or is absent. Icons can be set to only show in combat. Icons can show timers on cooldowns and (de)buffs. Compatible with OmniCC for text display of time remaining.


New in the latest version (1.1.2)
  • Updated for WoW 3.1
  • Now works with vehicles
  • Fixed a problem with buff charges not showing as consumed
  • Icons for reactive abilities will no longer show when the abilities are still on cooldown
  • Cooldown icons should now be more responsive

Instructions

General options are available in the Blizzard interface options menu. You can type "/tellmewhen" or "/tmw" to lock/unlock the addon. To configure individual icons, right click them when unlocked. When you're finished and ready to play, enable the icons by locking the addon.

For buffs and debuffs not in your spellbook, TellMeWhen will at first show a pocketwatch icon to indicate that it is waiting to learn the texture for the buff/debuff. The icon will have the correct texture after you encounter the buff/debuff while playing.

Remember that buffs and debuffs sometimes have different names than the items and abilities that provide them. For example, the Death Knight ability Icy Touch applies a DoT called Frost Fever.


Features planned for future versions
  • Settings for icon opacity
  • Allow single icons to check multiple buffs/debuffs
  • Support for dragging spells/items onto icons

Does not work well with Warlock Demonic Soulstone

I'm trying to use TMW with Warlock Demonic Soulstone. It does not work well. I set it as

Icon Type=Cooldown
Item Type=Item

It works when I type /tmw to get into setup mode and then to lock mode. But once I use my Demonic Soulstone and create another one, the icon becomes "?". It is not tracking anymore. Again, once I enter setup mode and back to lock mode, then it is OK again.

Anyway to enable tmw to refresh at present time?

This mod has been working nicely. Great work.

The only issue I am having is with the famous Malygos drake phase, where u want to monitor the "Engulf in Flames" debuff on target. The issue I seem to have is applying a filter to only show "my debuff" stack. I think the problem is its the "pet" casting the debuff and not yourself, so if you click on option to filter by "only your buff/debuffs" it will not show anything. If you leave that option unflagged, then the debuff shows up, but I am not 100% its mine.

Any ideas? on setting this up with TMW.

Edit Updated 4/18/09 - found another addon for Malygos (MalygosStacks) that focuses on monitoring your duff stacks -- seems to work nicely for this specific encounter which is all I needed. Of course I still use TMW for normal activities of course


Thanks for contributing your work to the gaming community.

edit: spelling correction

More letters...

The addon is working fine so far... except of that I can't insert enough letters in the popup window.

I'm using german client and want to see the cooldown of the "Nitro boosts" on my "Hateful Gladiator's Boots of Triumph".

So the item I have to monitor is "Triumphale Stiefel des hasserfüllten Gladiators" but I can't type all letters in the popup window, in which I have to fill in the FULL item name.

So please add more space for the letters.

Great addon, but it doesn't currently display Explosive Shot properly when Lock and Load procs. Any chance of a fix for this?

I loved this mod playing my DK, but just recently I decided to start leveling my resto shaman. On him I noticed that for some reason that when I'm watching a buff on my focus target (earth shield on tank for this example), Tellmewhen only updates when I change targets, otherwise it won't reflect that the tank no longer has earthshield.

Is there anyway it would be set to update more frequently?

Too much configuration required

I like how customizable this mod is, but I think it could benefit from having some pre-configured spells available (disabled by default though), kind of like Nao!!.
Also, just curious, but is it necessary to have 70kb worth of configuration for each character? Personally I only track a couple of spells per character, so 95% of the config file is unused. It seems like there could be a more dynamic way of storing that information to keep the file size small.
Sorry, I don't mean to nitpick, I do like your mod and I think it's got great potential. Keep up the good work!

Just a feature request: the ability at the command-line to toggle visibility of each row. Something like /tellmewhen toggle 1 or /tellmewhen [show|hide] 1. This would allow me to quickly switch between configurations when the dual-spec patch hits.

Thanks a ton for this great addon!

A couple ideas.

1) I would like to be able to see my icons at all times but have them faded out rather than gone. Maybe a slider bar that allows you to choose how faded.

2) Numerical cooldowns. The current method isn't that great when your trying not to clip your DoTs that have cast time.

Also, I second cobeathris' idea of show\hide when Power\Mana\ect is above or below a certain amount.

It would also be super cool if the amount could be a formula or based of a spell... maybe via Dr Damage's data. Mostly for a warlock Life Tap warning. That would be sick.


Other than these things this addon is Awesome. Its the only solution of its kind I've seen. All the other "proc" addons I've found only show the internal CD of procs and not the actual buff they cause.

Keep up the great work.

Reactive With Cooldown

I second the support of a "Reactive with Cooldown" option, I am currently getting around not having that by having two revenge Icons, when both show, I know its up, but it would be nice to have it on one Icon instead.

Great mod though.

Edit - You know, another feature that would be crazy awesome would be:

Show/Hide When Power < X
Show/Hide When Power Deficit < X

Even though, you'r currently using xml to texture the frames, ButtonFacade support would be really awesome for a more perfect look. Please add it.

Thanks for making this!!!

I just wanted an addon that showed icons when CD's are available and was surprised at how hard it was to find one.

Having issues getting it to show up with Faerie Fire (Feral)'s cooldown is up, for Bear Threat purposes. I don't care about the duration remaining too much, but that does work fine.

Anyone have ideas or steps?
