TellMeWhen (Fan Update) 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.

You choose which spells, abilities, items, buffs, and debuffs TellMeWhen shows. The number, size, and position of icons are all customizable. 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.

Some examples of things you can do with TellMeWhen:

- Display an icon when a boost trinket is finished cooling down and is ready to use
- Display an icon when a clearcasting buff procs
- A death knight could have icons appear to show that Horn of Winter has dropped and needs to be refreshed, to show when Rune Strike is usable, and to show when Sudden Doom proc
- 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
- A warlock could monitor the number of Sunder Armor debuffs on a mob, so they can wait to dps until their warrior tank has enough threat

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. Other commands are /tmw reset to reset the bars, and /tmw options to access the options menu.

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 sometimes have different names than the items and abilities that provide them. For example, the buff from the death knight Sudden Doom talent is called "Death Trance!".

New in latest version
- Added options for targetoffocus and targetofpet
- Added "/tmw options" as a shortcut to options menu

(Major thanks to Oodyboo for the following changes)
- Changed how spec settings are saved
- Editbox for "Choose spell/buff/item" retains previous entered value
- Supports 8 bars instead of the old 4
- Added primary/secondary spec toggles for each bar
- Disabled bars and icons don't process everything

Disclaimer:
At the time of writing TellMeWhen has not been updated in months. Since patch 3.1 broke the "Only shown if cast by self" part of the debuff timers I coded myself a fix for that, and at the same time i added some functionality i felt was missing of the addon.

If you find any problems with this addon feel free to contact me or write in the comments section.

To lieandswell: If you decide to release an updated version of your addon feel free to use any of the code i added. I will also at your request remove this version.

Is there any way to speed up the update process to prevent this or would it be possible to add an option to not update the state of an indicator in combat?

side note: Would it be possible to have some Button Facade support or is that beyond the scope of your fan update?

Will see if i can replicate the flickering issue.. As for Button Facade i have said i'm interested in doing it, but it's not a high priority

AlfaStation A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Played around some more with the addon and it does seem to work "as is" on my french client. Eg: Typing in names of trinkets works (eg: shows when trinket is UP), but I can not drag-n-drop or shift-click anything to go into the bar. Everything needs to be manually written in the box. Also: right or left-clicking anything on this bar (eg when trinket is UP) doesn't activate the spells or trinkets, which is a pitty 'cause it kind of defeats (part-off) the purpose of this addon. Maybe it's intended this way? Ifso I think i'll stick to Dominos/omnicc and eventalert. PS: Thanks for your support Ooze and hats off for all those spending so much time writing up all these wonderfull addons in there spare-time. Last edited by AlfaStation : 04-23-2009 at 03:06 PM.

It's on my ToDo list.. For now try using the following

"48560;47437;55487"

http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=48560
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=47437
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=55487

Edit: Alternativly you can manually open the following file and change maxletters = 35. I will include this in my next update which will sort the dualspecs

TellMeWhen_options.lua (Line 148

Change
From: maxletters = 35
To: maxLetters = 200

...mmm... thanks for the info Ooze, but I never wrote or translated any addons. If I have some time to spare I'll give it a try, hoping it's just the TellMeWhen-enUS.lua i'll have to translate. But if i also have to translate the whole file TellMeWhen.lua , then I'm off for a few days (which i don't have) .
If I ever succeed I'll send you a copy.

Ingame set the settings of an icon to.
Name = 1126
IconType = Buff
UnitToWatch = Player
ShowWhen = Present

and get a druid to cast "Mark of the Wild" on you. if it works the addon works

TellMeWhen-enUS.lua is pretty much only a holder for strings to display. It looks something like this
VARIABLENAME = "Text to Display"
VARIABLENAME = "Text to Display"
VARIABLENAME = "Text to Display"
VARIABLENAME = "Text to Display"

You can translate the part in "Text to Display" to french. Though i think simply copying the file and naming it TellMeWhen-frFR.lua might work. (Though this will make options and such display in english

)

EDIT: Looks like the TellMeWhen-enUS.lua is hardcoded into the TellMeWhen.xml so it's not an issue directly related to that. You sure you typed information correctly on the icons?

Don't forget to use the French names on the buffs instead of the english ones (or use spellID/itemID)

I suppose these addons don't work on non-English clients? (I play with a French client).

dyseus A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I was about to try my hand at coding, and I see this. Woot. I was really looking for combining diff debuffs in a tmw type addon. Are you interested in adding button facade support at all? If not, maybe my first projext can be a button facade supported addon, allthough the mechanics will be the same as this. Id just like the buttons Im adding to look like my other buttons. I currently use the Caith look for most things.

Ooze A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 38 Uploads: 1	Currently multiple items can only be used if the icon is set to tracking buff/debuffs. And even then it's mostly intended for things that logically should be on the same button. Example: "Mangle (Cat);Mangle (Bear);Trauma" The current implementation of TellMeWhen does come a tad short when it comes to DualSpecs I'm afraid. I'm intrigued by the idea of adding support for DualSpecs though.. Either by putting a toggle on Individual icons for what Spec they should count in, or by switching out the entire bar. Infact it's exactly what I'm currently tinkering with ^^ So to answer your question: No, not yet Hmm i wonder what would be best.. Toggles For Each Icon or Toggles For Each Group Last edited by Ooze : 04-21-2009 at 04:26 PM.

Tinuviel A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 93 Uploads: 0	I'm intrigued by the new feature to put multiple items on an icon. Does it work for something like the following: * I have dual specs. One spec has a spell with a cooldown that I like to watch, the second spec doesn't, but has a different spell that procs at a certain time. In the previous version, I would have to turn off the icon for the first spell, and turn on the one for the second spell, or I would get a ton of errors. With your change, is this now possible to ... watch both? I mean, one icon for two different things, that are only active based on spec?
