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

Seriously though, i won't write a death knight module anytime soon. Or a module for any other class/spec for that matter.

Well I'm not sure how FaceSmasher worked, but I think it had a priority system going in it. It was a mod on Curse that seems to have somehow up and vanished. But it was probably the best DK mod out there. /sniff

May I ask what the indicators are? I know "rapid fire", but what else?

it's

top left: rapid fire,
top right: spec specific (rapid fire, bestial wrath or sniper training),
bottom left: feign death,
bottom right: misdirection.

they are using 3 colors now, too. (red = not ready, orange = will be ready shortly, green = ready. For sniper training: red = not active, orange = active but you have to stop moving in the next two seconds, green = all good).

there is kind of a glitch that causes the corner indicators to not update when you don't do anything. But that is only a problem with sniper training.

Ah, that explains a lot. I thought it would show the cooldown of the spell and not the gobal cooldown.
Then everything is working fine, thanks!

The only thing I can think of is "Size Threshold", which I have set to 50%.

Edit: OmniCC works for me. But since the cooldown is shorter then the default "duration threshold" set by OminCC you probably don't see anything. If you set it to 0, you should see it. And on every other button, of course.

There are only two things that I'm not happy with, maybe they were already discused in the comments and I'm just repeating them:
1) No support for OmniCC, numbers on the cooldown spiral, makes me sad.
2) No integration into the Blizzard Interface configuration. This one is minor and should be simple, since you are using Ace3 for the config.

it's needed for arcane mage rotation (namely for http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=42897)

rotation is AB AB AB ([AM] or abarr) (ab=arcane blast, AM=arcane missiles, abarr=arcane barrage)
AM when Missile Barrage is up

IDs:

Code:

Arcane Missiles = 42846 Arcane Blast = 42897 Arcane Barrage = 44781 Missile Barrage (Buff) = 44401

i'd try to make a module for it, but i'm at work, and couldn't test it though :/

yes, it's possible. But that would need a "real" module, not just a table with some spell ids in it. Given the rotation though that shouldn't be too complicated.

Edit: added a arcane mage module in 0.1.7. It probably will not work but it's a start.
