Faceroller

Version: 0.2.9

by: hungtar [More]

please accept my apology for abandoning this addon and not answering your support requests.

I don't play wow anymore and thus any request will remain unaswered.

What is Faceroller?

Faceroller is an addon in the spirit of Event Horizon with the look of Faceshooter. It's focus lies on using a minimal amount of screen space while showing anything you need to know at the moment.

It will show you only one icon on the screen: the highest priority ability, which should be used next. Once the ability was used, it will reevaluate all cooldowns and debuffs on your target and present you the next spell.

As this needs tracking of cooldowns and debuffs and making decisions what to suggest when, Faceroller is split into modules. And to get some use out of Faceroller, you will need a module that fits your talent spec (See below for a list of modules).

You will get little or no use out of Faceroller if your toon is below level 80!

What Faceroller is NOT

First and foremost, Faceroller is not all knowing. It only keeps track of your current target and therefore can assist you only with a single target.

How to use Faceroller

First, you will need a module that works with your spec. There are currently modules available for the following specs:

Warrior:
- Arms
- Fury
- Prot 1 (included, experimental*, by Opaque)
- Prot 2
Shadow Priest
Balance Druid
Deathknight:
- Frost 1 (included, experimental*, by hectolight, module name: dkdwfrost)
- Frost 2 (included, experimental*, by Kallsuh, module name: dkdwfrost_Kall)
- unholy
- blood
Paladin:
- Retribution
- Prot (included, experimental*, by lloydbates)
Warlock:
Hunter:
- mm/sv/bm hunters (included, all in one module named simplehunter)
Shaman:
- Enhancement (included)
- Elemental (included, experimental*)
Mage:
- FFB (included, experimental*)
- Arcane (included, experimental*)
Rogue:
- Combat

* These modules may not always work as expected. If they don't, please leave a comment.

If you see the message "init failed for module ... (Reason: none given)" enable debug output with /fr debug. Make sure your character knows all the spells, required by the module you are using, before reporting it as a bug!

Install a module of your choice along with Faceroller. Start WoW. You can fire up the GUI with /fr config or by clicking on the LDB plugin (if you have a broker display).

Note: Faceroller rememberrs different modules for both specs, if you have dual spec. If you switch specs for the first time after installing Faceroller, don't forget to configure!

Note: All modules require your character to be level 80 to work!

Getting started with your own module

Writing your own module can be as easy as editing a lua table. See Faceroller_EasyExample (included in the zip) for an example how that works.

If the possibilities provided by the Easy* API are too restraining, you will need some knowledge of lua or you will have a hard time writing your own module. Have a look at Faceroller_ExampleModule (included in the zip). It's a simple module that does the same as Faceroller_EasyExample but with a more complex API. The comments are quiet extensive and should give you a good overview how things work.

The module Faceroller_SimpleEnhancementShaman uses a mixture of both and might help you as well with getting started.

Also, have a look at the documentation at github. If you have further questions, leave a comment.

Want to share your module?

If you wrote a module but you don't want to maintain it yourself, i can include it in the zip here. Just send me a PM or leave a comment where i can find your module. Note: since i won't be able to test all modules, new included modules will be marked as experimental for a few weeks. If too many people complain about an experimental module, it will get deleted. So please make sure it really works.

Following is a (possibly incomplete) list of specs, for which there is currently no module:

Feral Druid
Rogue: assassination, subtlety

Thanks again!!!!

You would have to add another table entry that tells Faceroller that Revenge is a reactive ability. Add a value, named reactive, and set it to true. You might also want to add values to check if you have enough rage to actually use the abilities. The table entries name for that would be power. For revenge the entry should look like:

Code:

	[57823] = {	-- revenge
		priority = 300,
		type = "spell",
		reactive = true,
		power = 5,
	},

That should do the trick.

Just give them their own separate segment of code in the function but with the same priority number as the other ranking version of the same spell?

Stuff like "[47498, 47497, 30022, 30016] = {" in a table declaration is not valid syntax. Just put one spell id inside the square brackets.

I tried to make a Prot Warrior module... but it's not coming up as available in my module list in game. Any idea what's wrong? And does the rest of the coding look right? I'm no LUA coder, but I do have some experience with ActionScript so I'm not 100% lost at least.

Have a peek...

Code:

-- Protection Warrior VERY experimental module 11/25/09
-- Using the priority system of: "Shield Slam > Shockwave > Concussion Blow > Revenge > Devastate"

do
	local _, playerClass = UnitClass("player")
	if playerClass ~= "WARRIOR" then return end
end


local spells = {

	[47488, 47487, 30356, 25258] = {	-- shield slam
		priority = 450,
		type = "spell",
	},

	[46968] = {	-- shockwave
		priority = 400,
		type = "spell",
	},

	[12809] = {	-- concussion blow
		priority = 350,
		type = "spell",
	},

	[57823, 30357] = {	-- revenge
		priority = 300,
		type = "spell",
	},

	[47498, 47497, 30022, 30016] = {	-- devastate
		priority = 250,
		type = "spell",
	},
}

Faceroller:EasyRegister("experimental_warrior_prot", spells)

Looking forward to your reply... thanks!!!

I found a site with a free little code viewer that makes things much easier to view... for those interested.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/universalindent/files/

set your editors tab width to 8 and use a fixed width font.

Then again, why would you see a 2 minute cooldown where the gcd is supposed to be displayed? Edited the code a little, did you?

the module getting stuck on lifetap is probably a module issue. or did the same module work in an older version?

Edit: IF you did switch specs before the module got stuck and didn't have a module set for the other spec and the other spec doesn't have the life tap glyph, then thats a bug and should be fixed in 0.2.1. But in that case you would have noticed, that you didn't get the buff from the life tap glyph, right?

Yeah I couldn't find anything in FR that would produce the cooldown, so it must be OmniCC. Still trying to figure out why it would stop suggesting appropriately though. I'll test later with no other addons and see if maybe it's a conflict issue.

I made no edits of the FR code

That would totally hose the people using my module!

Couple things:

First I'm getting a weird behavior when using a spell that has a cooldown (i.e. Death Coil) that isn't specified in the rotation. Basically what happens is the Next Skill function somehow stops evaluating spells appropriately and returns some spell constantly that doesn't have a cooldown and places the cooldown of the other spell on the frame.

Example:

I start casting my destruction rotation. I cast life tap, curse of elements, immolate all as suggested. Next should be chaos bolt. I cast death coil instead. Now faceroller displays lifetap again with a "2M" on the icon, and no matter what I cast, this choice is stuck.

If this is something I can handle in my mod that I've done wrong then lmk. Otherwise I think it may be a bug.

Second thing, minor thing, when trying to debug the problem above, I notice that the calls to next skill are constant, even when no enemy is targeted. Is this desired behavior?

When unholy you should only use Plague Strike/Icy Touch to debuff. And 2x Blood Strike, Scourge Strike and Death Coil to dps. Last edited by dubcat : 11-23-09 at 04:50 AM.

That's just a suggestion or an assumption, don't mean to offend you by any mean

P.s : i am using the latest version, i suppose there is nothing i can do.. i can only wait for the next version

Hiding the frame when it would display the coffee mug would be possible and maybe I include an option for that in the next version.

If you want to look further into the future and have faceroller suggest something that will not be ready for the next, say, 4 seconds, that would be something the module has to handle.

Personally, i don't think a module should suggest something that you can't use because it kind of defeats the purpose of Faceroller: aiding you with using the right spell at the right time. When something is not ready for the next 4 seconds, it's just not the right time to mash that button. It may be the right time to do something else, though. Something the module was not programmed to suggest to you.
