SquawkAndAwe is a buff watcher/proc timer for Balance Druids based off of ShockAndAwe, an addon for Enhancement Shamen by Levva (EU Khadgar).
SquawkAndAwe provides a timer for:
Trinket procs and Use:
Eclipse procs, with differences based on which proc occurs
Eclipse cooldown
Omen of Clarity
Elune's Wrath
Wrath of Elune (gg Blizzard set bonus names)
Moonfire (and a smaller bar for each tick)
Insect Swarm (and a smaller bar for each tick)
Faerie Fire
Entangling Roots
Hibernate
Cyclone
Starfall
Typhoon
Force of Nature
Innervate
Barkskin
the GCD
Options exist to turn on/off each bar separately, allow text on the bars showing name and duration, whether to flash the Proc bars, tick bars for DoTs, and SquawkAndAwe integrates with SharedMedia to allow textures and fonts.
Updates:
v1.3.3 - Fixed bug causing debuffs not to spawn when switching targets. Fixed bug involving disabling a bar that's currently active.
v1.3.2 - Oops: Applied Debuff/CC change to Abilities as well, and to be safe did similar things to Procs and Trinkets as a double-check. Also fixed a bug that would not let you turn off the Eclipse bar.
v1.3.1 - Fixed bug: attempt to index field 'CC'/'Debuffs' (a nil value), bumped TOC back to 30100.
v1.3 - Huge overhaul of the internal workings, mostly transparent but they do allow much easier integration of new timer bars. To go along with this, now includes bars for trinkets, cc, and some abilities. Specifically added this version are the T8 4-piece proc and the PvP set proc, Roots, Hibernate, Cyclone, Starfall, Typhoon, Force of Nature, Innervate, and Barkskin, as well as most Epic non-PvP trinkets and a couple rare ones. CC bars will track both your target and your focus, FF bar will trigger off of and track either FF or FF(F) from anyone on your target, and the majority of the other new bars should have good explanations in their options seconds (mouseover the options). Lastly, all but the Proc bars can be merged by group, i.e. you can have all of your chosen CC timers show up on the same bar.
Also, I've done more to try and fix the missing debuff bar issue. If you previously had problems with IS/FF not showing up when you cast them, let me know if this fixes it.
v1.2.1 - Fixed Moonfire/Eclipse bar collision, changed FF bar to accept any FF.
v1.2 - 3.1 compatability
v1.1.1 - Fixed GCD bar to remove locale dependency (forgot this one), added ability to show number of times Starfire has extended your Moonfire DoT, a few structural changes to prepare for adding more bars in the future
v1.1 - Finally fixed Omen bar, removed dependency on Localization files for functionality, seem to have also fixed the latency issue on target debuffs
v1.0.5 - Fixed encoding issue with Russian locale, added German locale
v1.0.4 - Fixed bug with French localization, added Russian and Taiwanese
V1.0.3 - Fixed bug with OoC bar
V1.0.2 - Added French Localization, fixed test bar bug
V1.0.1 - Added text options and ability to toggle icons.
-- Update note --
Unless something gets broken by a patch, I won't be updating specifically to bump the TOC file to the newest version. For example, 3.0.8 did nothing to change the functionality of SAA, so v1.1.1 will still work. You just need to check the "Load Out-of-Date Addons" box on the addon screen to get it working again.
ToDo:
Ordering of bars within group if not merged
Figure out how to plug in other bars optionally, including generating options for them.
Known issues:
- Checking for GCD is done off of Teleport: Moonglade. Beta premades do not have this spell (by default, you might be able to complete the quest for it), so SAA won't work for them without hacking the Lua. Second, if your Arcane school gets locked out, the GCD bar will be inaccurate (since lockouts just force a cooldown on locked spells). I'm looking into checking for GCD off of feral abilities instead, since the physical school can't be locked.
On a related note, development is based out of EJ. While I'll be checking here periodically, the easiest way to get a bug to my attention is to make a post here: http://elitistjerks.com/f32/t35477-squawkandawe/.

This sounds odd, since it survived the transition just fine for me. Are you sure it's SAA generating the errors? If so, could you tell me what errors, specifically, it's generating?

Better do no take damage, if it proc means you are in pool of fire, getting aggro ecc...

Are there any plans for such a bar ? and if so it may be on the procs bar with the 4 piece bonus or something.
And yes sounds would help but i fear this add-on tracs so many things that you'll have like 20 or more different sounds to remember and learn no?
Thanks in advance

Originally posted by Syri Just wanted to come and make a bit of a request.
I wanted to ask if it might be possible to make SSA a *little* more like class timers, in that the bars switch locations based on how long there is left on the debuff etc?
Seems a bit wonky to have the Eclipse bar sticking out 2-3 spots above the debuff bars etc.
And one more request... please bring back the ability to separate the Eclipse and the Eclipse Cooldown bar. I use SSA solely for the cooldown (*because* the bars don't rotate and aren't as neatly stacked as in classtimers) and having to show the eclipse bar twice to get the cooldown bar back with the latest update was a bit of a disappointment. And if it IS possible to do all these and I just missed how... my apologies and could someone point me in the right direction for how to do it? >.<
Anyway... thanks for reading
Erm? You should be able to, well, not split the bars, but at least show the cooldown even if the buff is turned off. If that's not the case, I apparently have some work to do. You would do this by unchecking the "Show" box, while leaving the CD box checked (yeah, counter-intuitive, i know). Note that this behavior would apply to all bars in the proc category, though at this point Eclipse is the only proc with a CD (since trinkets are in their own category).
Also, as a follow-up to previous posts, Curse messaged me yesterday, and the version they have hosted there has been transferred to me. I haven't done anything with it yet, but it's now "official" as well (though if you're worried about malicious code or something, you might wait until the next update since I'm not sure I can overwrite the current version that's up there).

Originally posted by Matyivagyok Hey guys! Sorry for this Off-Topic, but in this forum can I speak with some Boomkins So, I've got a question: What do you think about the Moonkin Tier8? Coz I think that's OK with spell dmg, but very bad with haste, spell crit, and too many with hit. The 2.set bonus is strong, that's OK, but I think that Gear is much worse than an another Tier 8 Gear. (sorry for my english)
Originally posted by ElrickEnonimis On a fresh system, on a fresh install of windows, on a fresh install of warcraft, on a fresh install of SquakAndAwe.. still having this issue. First tick shows and never ticks again until recast.
Originally posted by ElrickEnonimis in the last few versions, moonfire and insect swarm ticks seem to only happen once, then they dont show the ticks anymore

Originally posted by Shalymar i love this mod. i wouldn't want to raid without it.
i updated to this newest release and i'm curious to know on the bars FF is now listed above moonfire... is there any way to put this bar on the bottom... i just find it makes more sense since it's got the longest tick before a refresh is needed...
also is there a way to stop it from showing a bar each time i morph into a different form (same with when i cast my self buffs)??
That bar is the GCD bar. Just turn it off. And yes, I plan to make the bars sortable within their groupings.

OKay, I'll see what I need to do to fix that. I'll probably just get ownership transferred on the site. It's up there now, no real pressing reason to get it taken down.
[edit] Oh. And before people ask, I'll definitely update SAA for 2.0. The timers should work as-is due to the nature of the new version of Eclipse, but I'll add in the option to split the two as well. The rest of the timers shouldn't have any changes attached, Innervate's cooldown is checked dynamically anyway.
