EventHorizon Continued 
Hey There. Taroven has decided to stop supporting this addon, but I've decided to pick up development in his place 
-Brusalk (Kilrogg-US)
EventHorizon is now updated and working for Mists of Pandaria. Just download the most recent version and you should be good to go!(1.9.5)
If you have and comments, concerns, questions, suggestions, anything, don't hesitate to contact me either through comments here or via mail or whisper on Bronzebeard. Whisper someone online in The Feral Agressors guild to see if I'm on an alt if I'm not on my main character Brusalk.
If you feel that the class config for your class is not up to snuff then please let me know why and update it yourself! There is now a how-to on class configuration below!
There is also a how-to on customization of how EH looks below as well. Check it out!
Please be aware that I'm rewriting this addon from scratch to be released officially before the release of MoP in September. As such some configuration options for the current version of EH may change or not exist in the rewrite in an effort to make things easier to understand.__________________
(Also, coming in the rewrite is an in-game configuration menu as well as the ability to alter class-configs in-game to make it easier to customize EH.)
I have a mumble which I am pretty much always on if I'm working on my computer, so if you have a question you need to be answered very fast and right away don't hesitate to hop on and join the channel I'm in and ask if I'm busy. If I'm not then I'm happy to help you out.

What does EventHorizon do?
EventHorizon displays all of your class/spec's rotational abilities on a common time scale. This means that instead of seeing a regular percentage-based timer bar, EH shows you exactly what is happening in relation to everything else. If that sounds complicated at all, just look at the screenshots.
The basic idea: An ability that lasts 12 seconds and has 6 seconds remaining shouldn't look exactly the same as one that lasts 5 minutes and has 2.5 minutes remaining.
Videos showing EH in action:
Dezzimal posted a great instructional video using a Shadow Priest for reference.
breakingsong demonstrated EH on a Destro Warlock.
Also, for instant gratification, here's a quick snippet showing a Shadow Priest's rotation at 1 frame per second, using an older layout:
The big white line is the current time. Future events are on the right side, past events on the left. As time goes by, the events scroll from right to left.
The green bars are your cast bars. They use exactly the same times that your normal cast bar would display, with all haste modifiers applied.
You can also see cooldowns, DoTs, and their ticks (predicted in the future, and from the combat log in the past). EventHorizon is extremely intelligent when dealing with most things DoT/HoT-related.
The white lines that appear before the cast times are the times when you press the button (send the cast message to the server). The difference between this line and the start of the cast is your lag.
How do I set it up?
EventHorizon does not include an in-game configuration UI. However, it really doesn't need one - Everything should "just work".
Power users and those wishing to theme EventHorizon for a specific UI, please read on to the advanced portion of this section. Don't worry, it's easier than it may seem.
The basics:
* The window may be moved via the drag-handle on the upper right frame corner. It may be a little hard to see at first, but will light up as soon as you mouse over it.
* You can show/hide EventHorizon manually by using /eventhorizon or /ehz.
Advanced configuration:
Note: I would highly recommend an advanced text editor such as Notepad++ if you wish to edit the configuration files. While this isn't required by any means, an editor with syntax highlighting makes changing the files MUCH easier.
* The default configuration for EventHorizon is located in EventHorizon\config.lua. This file contains every setting available for EH and is heavily commented to help tweak things to your liking. This file may be deleted and EventHorizon will maintain its functionality (not that I would ever recommend doing that).
* Any changes you make to config.lua will be removed when you update EventHorizon. This is by design. HOWEVER, there's an easy way to get around that. Simply create a new file (or a copy of config.lua) named "myconfig.lua". This file is automatically loaded, and because it loads after config.lua, the settings in myconfig.lua will always be the ones to appear in-game.
Files
There are 2 files which you can edit to change the physical appearance of EventHorizon including colors, size, global functionality and other things. I'm going to assume that you have the most recent version of the configuration file provided in the most recent version of EventHorizon.
config.lua:
You can think of this as the default settings of EventHorizon. If you want to change settings then you can do so here, but when you download a new version of EventHorizon you have to be careful as the new version includes config.lua and will overwrite any changes you've made to this file. You can always skip this file when overwriting, but it's better to use myconfig.lua as it's intended to avoid this problem.
myconfig.lua:
This file overwrites any values in config.lua with the values changed inside it. So if you have config.width set to 375 in config.lua and config.width set to 200 in myconfig.lua, EventHorizon will use 200 as the value.
Where this is useful is that myconfig.lua is never included in the updated versions of EventHorzion, and as such will never be overwritten when downloading a new version of EventHorizon.
As such best practice is to alter any values you wish to change in config.lua by changing the values inside myconfig.lua.
Configuration
In order to change settings of something you just have to change the text after the equals sign on the line with the setting you want to change.
For example if you wanted to change the width of the addon you would change line 33 which normally reads (by default)
to
And now EventHorizon will have a width of 200 rather than 375.
Other variables are well explained in the text which comes after the -- on the lines respective to their variables.
Best practice would be to have open config.lua and myconfig.lua at the same time. Then for any changes you want to make to EventHorizon that you do not want to change you add into myconfig.lua on a new line the line you want to change by copy and paste, and then change the value to what you want. This way when you update EventHorizon you do not lose all your configuration options
It may seem complicated at first, and you can completely skip the step with myconfig.lua if you want, but once you understand it it's very simple to do
The default myconfig.lua with no variable changes inside it should have the following at the top of the file before any variable changes:
* If you would like to show/hide the frame under specific circumstances take a look at EventHorizon_Redshift, which is located in the Optional Files section of this page.
* If you're a Goose user, or have another addon managing your frame visibility, EventHorizonFrame is what you'll want to track.
EventHorizon_Redshift has a similar configuration to EventHorizon itself, though is much simpler in nature.
Altering your classes configuration to fit your specific needs!
The settings where classes/specs bars are located are in config.lua in the folder for your class. (Example: EventHorizon_Monk) For examples I'll use the priest configuration. This is written for use with the new configuration system in mind so if things don't quite match up with what is in your config.lua that is why. You can either use what I've written here or alter what you already have by trial and error
Order:
Bars are added to EventHorizon in the order which they are called for the player's class. So the order of the bars that appear in EventHorizon is dependent on the order in which you add them in the config.lua.
How to add new bars
This is done by calling self:newSpell(). self:newSpell() is a function which takes in a table of bar configuration options.
For example, in the priest configuration we add a bar which has Vampiric Touch/SWD CD with the following:
Here we add a new bar with the options debuff, cast, cooldown, refreshable, hasted, requiredTree, requiredLevel, and stance
The values of the options is represented by what appears after the = sign and before the ,. cast is set to 34914 which is the spellID of Vampiric Touch. As a result the bar will now show Vampiric Touch casts on this new bar. Any calls of self:newSpell() before this one will appear before this bar, and any calls after this one will appear after this bar in-game.
Altering existing bars:
Simply change values, delete lines of options you want to remove, or add options/values you want to add.
Comprehensive list of options and acceptable values and what they do:
itemID:
Display the cooldown of the item with itemID provided. If more than one itemID is provided in a table, then EH will show the longest.
Example(s):
EH will show as a cooldown on this bar the cooldown of item with itemID 1543
EH will show as a cooldown on this bar the longest cooldown of the items with itemIDs 1543, 1544, ... , 1243
slotID:
Display the cooldown/internal cooldown/playerbuff of the item located in the slot of slotID provided
slotIDs:
ChestSlot = 5
FeetSlot = 8
Finger0Slot = 11
Finger1Slot = 12
HandsSlot = 10
HeadSlot= 1
LegsSlot = 7
MainHandSlot = 16
NeckSlot = 2
SecondaryHandSlot = 17
ShirtSlot = 4
ShoulderSlot = 3
abardSlot = 19
Trinket0Slot = 13
Trinket1Slot = 14
WaistSlot = 6
WristSlot = 9
Example(s):
EventHorizon will show the playerbuff/internal cooldown/cooldown of the trinket located in the first trinket slot (slotID = 13)
cast:
Display the casts of the spell(s) provided on this bar.
Example(s):
EH will show the casts of the spell with spellID 1543
EH will show the casts of the spells with spellIDs 1543, 1544, ... , 1243
channel: (or channeled)
Display the cast of the channeled spell(s) provided on this bar.
Example(s):
EH will show as a cast the channel with spellID 1543 that hits 3 times over it's full duration
EH will show as a cast the channel with spellID 1543 that hits 2 times, the channel with spellID 1544 that hits 4 times, ... , and the channel with spellID 1254 that hits 6 times over it's full duration.
cooldown:
A spellID or a table of spellIDs. EH will show the longest cooldown of the provided spellID(s)
Example(s):
EH will show the cooldown of spell with spellID 1543,
EH will show the longest cooldown of the spells with spellIDs 1543, 1642, ... , 1274
debuff:
A spellID or a table of a spellID and it's unhasted time between ticks (if it's a DoT). Defaults to debuffs on the target.
Example(s):
EH will show the debuff with spellID 1543 that has an unhasted time between ticks of 3 seconds.
[code]
self:newSpell({
debuff = 1543,
})
EH will show the debuff with spellID 1543 that has no ticks. Just a simple debuff
playerbuff:
If there is no debuff defined for this bar, then EH will show the buff which appears on the player by default. Either a spellID or a table of a spellID and it's unhasted time between ticks
Example(s):
EH will show a buff on the player of the buff with spellID 1543 and unhasted time between ticks of 3 seconds.
EH will show a buff on the player with spellID 1543 that has no ticks.
hasted:
true or false/nil. If true then the debuff/playerbuff for this bar has hasted ticks.
Example(s):
EH will the debuff with spellID 1543 that has a unhasted tick time of 3 seconds that is affected by haste.
recast:
true or false/nil. If true then a recast line will appear at the end of the debuff/playerbuff indicating that the player should aim to have the cast finish within this area.
Example(s):
EH will show a recast line for the debuff with spellID 1543 that has an unhasted time between ticks of 3 seconds.
minstacks:
number or nil. If a number then the debuff/playerbuff defined for this bar must have greater than or equal to the number of stacks for it to show.
Example(s):
EH will show a buff on the player of spellID 1543 that has an unhasted tick time of 3 seconds, but will only show if more than two stacks of the buff is on the player.
internalcooldown:
number or true or false/nil. If a number than EH will display an internal cooldown of number seconds for the slotID provided. If true then EH will display the internal cooldown of the trinket in the provided slotID that is defined in trinkets.lua. If false or nil then will not show an internal cooldown
Example(s):
EH will show the internalcooldown of the trinket in slotID 14 as if it has an internal cooldown of 45 seconds.
unique:
true or false/nil. If true then EH will show buffs/debuffs on the target (by default) that are casted by anyone that match the provided debuff or buff ID. Normally debuffs are only shown if cast by the player
Example(s):
EH will show a recast line for the debuff with spellID 1543 that has an unhasted time between ticks of 3 seconds that is cast by anyone.
keepIcon:
true or false/nil. If true then EH will not change the icon from the icon that's first shown on login regardless of what's cast.
Example(s):
EH will keep the icon of debuff 1543 regardless of what else occurs on this spellbar.
icon:
number or string. If a number than EH will always show as the icon for this bar the icon of the spell of spellID number. If a string then EH will always show the icon provided by the string. The string must be a path to a string. Look up frame:SetTexture() on wowprogramming for more information.
Example(s):
EH will show the debuff 1543 with unhasted time between ticks of 3 seconds, but will always show the icon of the spell with spellID 1544.
smallCooldown
true or false/nil. If true then the cooldown will use the height settings provided inside config.lua represented by smallCooldown rather than cooldown. Basically makes it so a cooldown is smaller than the normal height
Example(s):
EH will show a small cooldown of the spell with spellID 1543
Options to restrict when bars are shown:
You may have noticed how not all bars are shown at the same time. That's because of these options! Wooo!
requiredGlyph
spellID or false/nil. If not false/nil then in order for this bar to show the player must have the glyph with spellID provided.
Example(s):
EH will show a small cooldown of the spell with spellID 1543 if they have the glyph with spellID 12456 active.
requiredTree
A number, a table of numbers or false/nil. If a number between 0 and the number of possible specializations for the players class, then the player's active specialization must be the one represented by the number. 1 represents the first specialization (Disc for priests), 2 represents the second (Holy for priests), 3 represents the third (Shadow for priests) and 4 represents Resto if a druid. 0 represents no specialization.
Can also be a table of numbers in which case the player's active specilization must be one of the provided numbers in the table.
Example(s):
EH will show a small cooldown of the spell with spellID 1543 if the player's active specialization is the third one for their class.
EH will show a small cooldown of the spell with spellID 1543 if the player's active specialization is either none, the first, or the third for their class.
requiredLevel:
A number between 1 and max level or nil/false. If a number than the player must be at the level or higher for the bar to show.
Example(s):
EH will show a small cooldown of the spell with spellID 1543 if the player is 84 or higher.
stance
A number between 0 and the number of stances the player can use. The stances start at 0 for no stance, and then as you go right on the stance bar (default UI) the next stance is 1, then 2 and so on.
Can also be a table of numbers in which case the player must be in one of the stances for the bar to show.
Example(s):
EH will show a small cooldown of the spell with spellID 1543 if the player is in stance 1.
EH will show a small cooldown of the spell with spellID 1543 if the player is in either no stance, stance 1, or stance 4.
A few last things in regard to class configs:
These are all individual options which can be combined together to form advanced functionality. The only interaction between the options to keep in mind is that playerbuffs will not show if a debuff is also provided for that bar. This is simply a technical limitation which can't be avoided.
I hope this has made it easier for you to understand how to configure EventHorizon to suit your individual needs!
What's changed from the original EventHorizon?
Check the changelog for the long version, but for a very quick summary of some of the changes:
* ALL classes and specs are now supported. This includes both healing and tanking.
* Class coloring has been implemented, giving a more personal touch to the addon and also providing a more differentiated layout.
* Glyphs that add time to an existing spell now display a stack count on the affected spell's icon. Check the Balance Druid screenshot for an example, it's on the Moonfire bar.
* Much more support has been added for custom spell configuration. Check out the class module code for examples, they're all over the place.
* DoT and HoT ticks are now recalculated every time they occur. This makes EH much, much more accurate than it was previously.
What still needs to be changed?
EventHorizon is past due for a complete rewrite. This is being actively developed and is planned for a release before the official release of Mists of Pandaria within the next month. Please be advised that after it's release 1) I'll no longer be supporting previous versions of EventHorizon, and 2) Configuration options will most likely be lost in the transition. Part of the rewrite is to make EventHorizon easier to configure via in-game options so hopefully it will be easy to get back to what you want. I will attempt to let you still use your old configuration options for the new version, but I can't promise you that it will work
If you have a bug to report, please post it in the comments here.
If you would like to actively participate in EventHorizon's development and know how to work with Google Code's SVN (or are willing to learn), or if you just want to contact me directly, feel free to send me a PM and I'll reply with my contact details.

The basic idea: An ability that lasts 12 seconds and has 6 seconds remaining shouldn't look exactly the same as one that lasts 5 minutes and has 2.5 minutes remaining.

Note: I would highly recommend an advanced text editor such as Notepad++ if you wish to edit the configuration files. While this isn't required by any means, an editor with syntax highlighting makes changing the files MUCH easier.
* The default configuration for EventHorizon is located in EventHorizon\config.lua. This file contains every setting available for EH and is heavily commented to help tweak things to your liking. This file may be deleted and EventHorizon will maintain its functionality (not that I would ever recommend doing that).
* Any changes you make to config.lua will be removed when you update EventHorizon. This is by design. HOWEVER, there's an easy way to get around that. Simply create a new file (or a copy of config.lua) named "myconfig.lua". This file is automatically loaded, and because it loads after config.lua, the settings in myconfig.lua will always be the ones to appear in-game.
Files
There are 2 files which you can edit to change the physical appearance of EventHorizon including colors, size, global functionality and other things. I'm going to assume that you have the most recent version of the configuration file provided in the most recent version of EventHorizon.
config.lua:
You can think of this as the default settings of EventHorizon. If you want to change settings then you can do so here, but when you download a new version of EventHorizon you have to be careful as the new version includes config.lua and will overwrite any changes you've made to this file. You can always skip this file when overwriting, but it's better to use myconfig.lua as it's intended to avoid this problem.
myconfig.lua:
This file overwrites any values in config.lua with the values changed inside it. So if you have config.width set to 375 in config.lua and config.width set to 200 in myconfig.lua, EventHorizon will use 200 as the value.
Where this is useful is that myconfig.lua is never included in the updated versions of EventHorzion, and as such will never be overwritten when downloading a new version of EventHorizon.
As such best practice is to alter any values you wish to change in config.lua by changing the values inside myconfig.lua.
Configuration
In order to change settings of something you just have to change the text after the equals sign on the line with the setting you want to change.
For example if you wanted to change the width of the addon you would change line 33 which normally reads (by default)
Code:
config.width = 375 -- Width of a single bar....
Code:
config.width = 200 -- Width of a single bar....
Other variables are well explained in the text which comes after the -- on the lines respective to their variables.
Best practice would be to have open config.lua and myconfig.lua at the same time. Then for any changes you want to make to EventHorizon that you do not want to change you add into myconfig.lua on a new line the line you want to change by copy and paste, and then change the value to what you want. This way when you update EventHorizon you do not lose all your configuration options
It may seem complicated at first, and you can completely skip the step with myconfig.lua if you want, but once you understand it it's very simple to do
The default myconfig.lua with no variable changes inside it should have the following at the top of the file before any variable changes:
Code:
local EHN,ns = ...
local config = EventHorizon.config
local c = EventHorizon.colors
local _,class = UnitClass('player') -- These locals make in-line conditions a little easier. See the color section for a few examples.
local DK = class == "DEATHKNIGHT"
local Druid = class == "DRUID"
local Hunter = class == "HUNTER"
local Mage = class == "MAGE"
local Paladin = class == "PALADIN"
local Priest = class == "PRIEST"
local Rogue = class == "ROGUE"
local Shaman = class == "SHAMAN"
local Warlock = class == "WARLOCK"
local Warrior = class == "WARRIOR"
--[[ EDIT BELOW THIS LINE ]]--
* If you would like to show/hide the frame under specific circumstances take a look at EventHorizon_Redshift, which is located in the Optional Files section of this page.
* If you're a Goose user, or have another addon managing your frame visibility, EventHorizonFrame is what you'll want to track.
EventHorizon_Redshift has a similar configuration to EventHorizon itself, though is much simpler in nature.
Altering your classes configuration to fit your specific needs!
The settings where classes/specs bars are located are in config.lua in the folder for your class. (Example: EventHorizon_Monk) For examples I'll use the priest configuration. This is written for use with the new configuration system in mind so if things don't quite match up with what is in your config.lua that is why. You can either use what I've written here or alter what you already have by trial and error
Order:
Bars are added to EventHorizon in the order which they are called for the player's class. So the order of the bars that appear in EventHorizon is dependent on the order in which you add them in the config.lua.
How to add new bars
This is done by calling self:newSpell(). self:newSpell() is a function which takes in a table of bar configuration options.
For example, in the priest configuration we add a bar which has Vampiric Touch/SWD CD with the following:
Code:
-- Vampiric Touch/swd cd
self:newSpell({
debuff = {34914,3},
cast = 34914,
cooldown = 32379,
refreshable = true,
hasted = true,
requiredTree = 3,
requiredLevel = 28,
stance = 1,
})
The values of the options is represented by what appears after the = sign and before the ,. cast is set to 34914 which is the spellID of Vampiric Touch. As a result the bar will now show Vampiric Touch casts on this new bar. Any calls of self:newSpell() before this one will appear before this bar, and any calls after this one will appear after this bar in-game.
Altering existing bars:
Simply change values, delete lines of options you want to remove, or add options/values you want to add.
Comprehensive list of options and acceptable values and what they do:
itemID:
Display the cooldown of the item with itemID provided. If more than one itemID is provided in a table, then EH will show the longest.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
itemID = 1543
})
Code:
self:newSpell({
itemID = { 1543, 1544, ... , 1243 },
})
slotID:
Display the cooldown/internal cooldown/playerbuff of the item located in the slot of slotID provided
slotIDs:
ChestSlot = 5
FeetSlot = 8
Finger0Slot = 11
Finger1Slot = 12
HandsSlot = 10
HeadSlot= 1
LegsSlot = 7
MainHandSlot = 16
NeckSlot = 2
SecondaryHandSlot = 17
ShirtSlot = 4
ShoulderSlot = 3
abardSlot = 19
Trinket0Slot = 13
Trinket1Slot = 14
WaistSlot = 6
WristSlot = 9
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
slotID = 13,
})
cast:
Display the casts of the spell(s) provided on this bar.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
cast = 1543
})
Code:
self:newSpell({
cast = { 1543, 1544, ... , 1243 },
})
channel: (or channeled)
Display the cast of the channeled spell(s) provided on this bar.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
channel = {1543,3},
})
Code:
self:newSpell({
channeled = { {1543,2}, {1544,4}, ... , {1254, 6} },
})
cooldown:
A spellID or a table of spellIDs. EH will show the longest cooldown of the provided spellID(s)
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
cooldown = 1543,
})
Code:
self:newSpell({
cooldown = {1543, 1642, ... , 1274},
})
debuff:
A spellID or a table of a spellID and it's unhasted time between ticks (if it's a DoT). Defaults to debuffs on the target.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
debuff = {1543, 3},
})
[code]
self:newSpell({
debuff = 1543,
})
EH will show the debuff with spellID 1543 that has no ticks. Just a simple debuff
playerbuff:
If there is no debuff defined for this bar, then EH will show the buff which appears on the player by default. Either a spellID or a table of a spellID and it's unhasted time between ticks
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
playerbuff = {1543, 3},
})
Code:
self:newSpell({
playerbuff = 1543,
})
hasted:
true or false/nil. If true then the debuff/playerbuff for this bar has hasted ticks.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
debuff = {1543, 3},
hasted = true,
})
recast:
true or false/nil. If true then a recast line will appear at the end of the debuff/playerbuff indicating that the player should aim to have the cast finish within this area.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
debuff = {1543, 3},
recast = true,
})
minstacks:
number or nil. If a number then the debuff/playerbuff defined for this bar must have greater than or equal to the number of stacks for it to show.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
playerbuff = {1543, 3},
minstacks = 2,
})
internalcooldown:
number or true or false/nil. If a number than EH will display an internal cooldown of number seconds for the slotID provided. If true then EH will display the internal cooldown of the trinket in the provided slotID that is defined in trinkets.lua. If false or nil then will not show an internal cooldown
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
slotID = 14,
internalcooldown = 45,
})
unique:
true or false/nil. If true then EH will show buffs/debuffs on the target (by default) that are casted by anyone that match the provided debuff or buff ID. Normally debuffs are only shown if cast by the player
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
debuff = {1543, 3},
unique = true,
})
keepIcon:
true or false/nil. If true then EH will not change the icon from the icon that's first shown on login regardless of what's cast.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
debuff = {1543, 3},
keepIcon = true,
})
icon:
number or string. If a number than EH will always show as the icon for this bar the icon of the spell of spellID number. If a string then EH will always show the icon provided by the string. The string must be a path to a string. Look up frame:SetTexture() on wowprogramming for more information.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
debuff = {1543, 3},
icon = 1544,
})
smallCooldown
true or false/nil. If true then the cooldown will use the height settings provided inside config.lua represented by smallCooldown rather than cooldown. Basically makes it so a cooldown is smaller than the normal height
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
cooldown = 1543,
smallCooldown = true,
})
Options to restrict when bars are shown:
You may have noticed how not all bars are shown at the same time. That's because of these options! Wooo!
requiredGlyph
spellID or false/nil. If not false/nil then in order for this bar to show the player must have the glyph with spellID provided.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
cooldown = 1543,
smallCooldown = true,
requiredGlyph = 12456,
})
requiredTree
A number, a table of numbers or false/nil. If a number between 0 and the number of possible specializations for the players class, then the player's active specialization must be the one represented by the number. 1 represents the first specialization (Disc for priests), 2 represents the second (Holy for priests), 3 represents the third (Shadow for priests) and 4 represents Resto if a druid. 0 represents no specialization.
Can also be a table of numbers in which case the player's active specilization must be one of the provided numbers in the table.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
cooldown = 1543,
smallCooldown = true,
requiredTree = 3,
})
Code:
self:newSpell({
cooldown = 1543,
smallCooldown = true,
requiredTree = {0,1,3},
})
requiredLevel:
A number between 1 and max level or nil/false. If a number than the player must be at the level or higher for the bar to show.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
cooldown = 1543,
smallCooldown = true,
requiredLevel = 84,
})
stance
A number between 0 and the number of stances the player can use. The stances start at 0 for no stance, and then as you go right on the stance bar (default UI) the next stance is 1, then 2 and so on.
Can also be a table of numbers in which case the player must be in one of the stances for the bar to show.
Example(s):
Code:
self:newSpell({
cooldown = 1543,
smallCooldown = true,
stance = 1,
})
Code:
self:newspell({
cooldown = 1543,
smallCooldown = true,
stance = {0, 1, 4},
})
A few last things in regard to class configs:
These are all individual options which can be combined together to form advanced functionality. The only interaction between the options to keep in mind is that playerbuffs will not show if a debuff is also provided for that bar. This is simply a technical limitation which can't be avoided.
I hope this has made it easier for you to understand how to configure EventHorizon to suit your individual needs!
What's changed from the original EventHorizon?
Check the changelog for the long version, but for a very quick summary of some of the changes:
* ALL classes and specs are now supported. This includes both healing and tanking.
* Class coloring has been implemented, giving a more personal touch to the addon and also providing a more differentiated layout.
* Glyphs that add time to an existing spell now display a stack count on the affected spell's icon. Check the Balance Druid screenshot for an example, it's on the Moonfire bar.
* Much more support has been added for custom spell configuration. Check out the class module code for examples, they're all over the place.
* DoT and HoT ticks are now recalculated every time they occur. This makes EH much, much more accurate than it was previously.
What still needs to be changed?
EventHorizon is past due for a complete rewrite. This is being actively developed and is planned for a release before the official release of Mists of Pandaria within the next month. Please be advised that after it's release 1) I'll no longer be supporting previous versions of EventHorizon, and 2) Configuration options will most likely be lost in the transition. Part of the rewrite is to make EventHorizon easier to configure via in-game options so hopefully it will be easy to get back to what you want. I will attempt to let you still use your old configuration options for the new version, but I can't promise you that it will work
If you have a bug to report, please post it in the comments here.
If you would like to actively participate in EventHorizon's development and know how to work with Google Code's SVN (or are willing to learn), or if you just want to contact me directly, feel free to send me a PM and I'll reply with my contact details.

With a little help from a Shaman friend a few days back, I did get everything fixed, but got sidetracked into some work on EH's slash commands that I wanted to get done before firing off a new version. I'll have v1.2.3 out tomorrow to fix the Shaman module. In the meantime, the code block at the bottom of this post contains the updated code which should fix the incorrect spells being shown. As for the frame acting strangely on respec, I haven't noticed any issues myself but I'll doublecheck ingame and run through the involved code to see what might be going on. For a temporary solution until the new release is pushed, here's the updated Shaman config. Replace the contents of EventHorizon_Shaman/config.lua with the following: Code:
local config = EventHorizon.config
function EventHorizon:InitializeClass()
self.config.gcdSpellID = 57960 -- Water Shield
-- Stormstrike
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 17364,
cooldown = true,
requiredTalent = {2,21},
})
-- Lava Lash
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 60103,
cooldown = true,
requiredTalent = {2,23},
})
-- Earth Shock
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 49231,
cooldown = true,
requiredTalent = {2,9}, -- Shamanistic Focus
})
-- Flame Shock
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 49233,
debuff = true,
dot = 3,
cooldown = true,
requiredTalent = {1,2}, -- We just don't need it as resto.
})
-- Maelstrom Weapon
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 53817,
playerbuff = true,
requiredTalent = {2,28},
})
-- Lava Burst
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 60043,
cast = true,
cooldown = true,
requiredTalent = {1,15},
})
-- Lightning Bolt
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 49238,
cast = true,
requiredTalent = {1,15},
})
-- Chain Lightning
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 49271,
cast = true,
cooldown = true,
requiredTalent = {1,15},
})
-- Thunderstorm
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 51490,
cooldown = true,
requiredTalent = {1,25},
})
-- Earthliving Weapon
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 52000,
playerbuff = true,
refreshable = true,
auraunit = "target",
requiredTalent = {3,17},
})
-- Riptide
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 61300,
playerbuff = true,
auraunit = "target",
requiredTalent = {3,26},
})
-- Lesser Healing Wave (including Ancestral Fortitude/Inspiration)
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 10468,
playerbuff = {15359, 16237},
auraunit = "target",
cast = true,
requiredTalent = {3,17},
})
-- Healing Wave, secondary effect TBA
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 25357,
cast = true,
requiredTalent = {3,17},
})
-- Chain Heal (including Tidal Waves)
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 1064,
playerbuff = 53390,
auraunit = "target",
cast = true,
requiredTalent = {3,17},
})
-- Earth Shield
self:NewSpell({
spellID = 49284,
playerbuff = true,
auraunit = "target",
requiredTalent = {3,23},
})
return true
end
If I had any energy left at all right now, I'd dig in and work on finding out what's going on with spec swapping, but it'll have to wait until I wake up. |

Thanks for the macro, Taroven. I will try it tomorrow during the raid.
If it works, don't worry about the glyph (maybe if you really have quite enough time). A simple macro is just fine. Thanks a lot. If i would have a faster PC /rl would be fine as well

phyltr: Done deal.
Valcry: I don't see any reason why the macro shouldn't work if you do see Life Tap in the first place, but in the end I don't want ANY user to need a macro to get their bars back. I'll likely end up adding all the zone change events (including subzone) and possibly combat start/stop to the list of events that spark a talent check. It's inefficient and shouldn't be needed in the first place, but Blizzard seems to have forced my hand here.  Minko: EH will properly detect the duration of your DoTs when 3.3 hits, but I need to wait until it's released before I can get the tick markers back in order. Here's what I've gathered so far about hasted DoT/HoT spells: 1) The affected spells are apparently: - Priest: Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch, Devouring Plague (Shadowform) - Warlock: Corruption (Glyph of Quick Decay) - Druid: Rejuvenation (Glyph of Rapid Rejuvenation) If anyone knows of other DoT/HoTs that are affected by haste, please let me know. 2) At the time of writing, I'm aware of two haste types for DoT/HoT-affected spells: - Reduced duration, faster ticks (easiest to calculate, just use an expected number of ticks per cast, set within the spell config). - Same duration, faster ticks (harder to calculate, needs a timer within the tick recalculation code to get somewhat accurate results, which lag will throw off. Potentially inaccurate but hard to break code-wise). 3) Circumstances can throw off the matter. For example, as far as I'm aware, when Shadow Word: Pain is refreshed via Mind Flay it goes from the first haste type to the second (ie, the ticks are hasted but the duration is maxed). The same can be assumed for Corruption refreshes. This can be worked around with either the tick recalculation code, which will probably be enabled for both hasted-tick types, or with some special handling in the refresh functions. I do need to wait for 3.3 to verify all this, as the general function of everything may change when the patch is released to the masses. On the bright side, once I know what's going on with hasted over-time effects, it should be pretty quick to get everything in order.

Re: Re: Re: Coloured bars.
Color tables can be in two forms. 1) Manually colored, via {R,G,B,Alpha}. Straight red at standard bar opacity would be {1,0,0,0.3}. Yellow would be {1,1,0,0.3}. 2) Class colored, which is just as simple but requires some understanding of how it works. When class coloring a bar, you're doing 3 things: a) Tell EH the bar is class colored instead of manually colored. b) Specify how much the coloring is diminished (known as class burn internally). This directly adjusts the coloring of the class itself, with a value of zero being black and a value of 1 being the full class color. c) Specify the opacity of the bar. Part of the confusion there is related to the special handling I put in for Priest bars. At the top of config.lua, you likely noticed a bunch of locals involving the various character classes. Long story short, if you're currently playing a Druid, the 'Druid' local's content will read "DRUID" and every other class will read "nil" (no information). This gives you an easy way to create in-line conditional statements without a lot of typing. To give you a better idea: Code:
Priest and 0.7 or 1
--...can be written as...
UnitClass('player') == "PRIEST" and 0.7 or 1
--...can be written as... (the syntax of this one is screwed up but it gets the point across)
if UnitClass('player') == "PRIEST" then 1 else 0.7 end
In the end, you can do some neat things with that. For example, to color a bar manually for Druids but keep the rest class colored, with parenthesis for easier reading: Code:
c.debuffmine = {(Druid and 1) or true, (Druid and 0) or (Priest and 0.7) or 1, (Druid and 0) or 0.3, (not Druid) and 0.3}
--The "not Druid" means exactly what it says, with the lack of an "or" meaning no alternative handling.
TLDR: You can kill off the conditions in there and just write in everything yourself without breaking anything. It's only complicated when it needs to be.  Edit: As for WHICH myconfig.lua to use, you can copy your changes over to EventHorizon/myconfig.lua and either use the method I just explained or wrap everything in if/else statements like so: Code:
if Druid then
c.debuffmine = {1,0,0,0.3} -- Straight red
else
c.debuffmine = {true, Priest and 0.7 or 1, 0.3} -- Class colored, burnt down a bit if you're playing a priest
end

I did quite a bit of testing last night using multiple characters, accounts, and circumstances, yet I was unable to reproduce this. If you've been seeing it happen since the v1.2.3 update, I'll need some more details to see what's going on. The best possible info would be your config.lua and myconfig.lua files. |
