HealWatch 

Basically this addon attempts to keep track of all heals that are cast in real time and then show casting bars for every heal on your current target. A short video of it is here: http://files.filefront.com/Moviewmv/.../fileinfo.html

Discussion: HERE! I <3 wowi

Commands
- status: Returns the status of the mod, IE: Version, On/Off, Coms On/Off, Max Cast Bars shown.
- coms: Enables/disables coms
- on/off: enables/disables the events. IT automatically enables itself when in a raid.
- maxBars: Sets the max number of cast bars to show.
- version: Returns the current version.
- show: show the healwatch frame

Current Features
- Attempts to keep track of all priest/paladin/shaman heals, druids too! (they smell like bear poo)
- If you have a target selected and someone is casting heals on that person, a bar will pop-up showing their cast time approximation.
- Provides a frame showing who it thinks you are healing/watching for heals.
- Option to track heals on a single target always. Ie, lock the person to the window.

Current Bugs
- doesn't watch all heals?

Current limitations
- It cannot make smart decisions on who is targeting what. So if someone is click-casting then you won't be able to see who they are healing.
-- this shouldn't be the case if they have the mod and are using communications
- It misses some events. People out of range and people in your party.
-- again, shouldn't be the case if they have the mod and are using communications.

Communication
- Should be enabled by default

Planned Features

Disclaimer
I don't know how this mod affects performance. I have tried my best to eliminate ALL loops in any realtime execution path, but I'm a noob coder so you know how that can be.

PLEASE POST COMMENTS! This mod is still in heavy development and is still having it's requirements made. So I need people to give me ideas. Otherwise it will get pigeonholed into what I need and that is it.

If you post bugs and ways to reproduce, I'll be able to fix them much faster.

Features that will never be implemented
- Reporting on who healed and for how much, there are other mods. While this mod does keep track of that information, it will never be available in a reportable format.

SVN Access
I have put HealWatch up on an SVN for anyone who always wants the latet code.

It is also available here: http://svn.joshborke.is-a-geek.com/trunk/HealWatch

Alternative Mods
Being the lazy developer I am (and a selfish one at that), rather than try to cater to everyone's wants and desires, I will just say upfront that I'll only extend this as far as I think it should go or as far as I want to go with it. Currently it isn't finished in my view, so I am still developing it. There are other mods with this similar functionality, so while I appreciate people using my mods, if there is a better one for you, please use it. With that said, here are several mods that have similar functionality:
1) Healers Assist: Main Page Curse Download (People have reported problems with memory consumption)
2) HealNotify: Main Page
3) Incomming Heals: Curse Download (Not exactly the same, but along the same lines)
4) HealSync: WoWI page. Almost exactly the same thing. I highly recommend it. It just works.
5) Forecast: Curse Gaming Page. Provides spells on your current target.
6) BestFriendHealer/Nuker): Curse Gaming General healing mod that uses a channel to help determine emergency targets.
7) SmartHeal Enhanced: [url=http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2394]Wolrd of War[/Ui] General healing mod that lets you know when someone is healing your target.

That's all I have for now, as more are brought to my attention I will post them.

0.56-11200
- fixed coms bug (not confirmed to work, but shouldn't error now)

- made party heals work finally (i hope)
- updated party heal information
- made raid changes propogate to HW less (this is a good thing)
- fixed some current target logic that's been fubared the whole time. had to
do with self-casts

- you can now adjust the width of the labels and therefore everything else
- removed coms until 1.12
- probably some other stuff I forgot.
0.50-11000

It shows the current version of HealWatch.

name, rather than caster class. Neglible improvement to mem usage.
- Hooking more functions so casting accuracy on self should be better.
0.42-11000

AFTER registering the heal. Sorry about that.
