Power Auras

Power Auras Classic Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Credits:
- Sinsthar (base & original concept)
- Garstiger (continued)

This addon was created to provide visual cues (auras) when you gain buffs, debuffs and many more. Very useful for shorts buffs or debuffs, it allows you to draw in the center of the screen, or around your character, very customizable visual effects, rather than having to look at or mouseover buff/debuff icons/actionbars.

Initially created to give visual cues for short duration procs like "clear casting" or some boost trinket you activate, many more aura triggers have been added since.
It now works with debuffs (whatever their name), debuff types (like Magic or Curse), combo points, harmful area spells, weapon enchants, Health, Mana, Rage or Energy thresholds, action cooldowns, aggro, pvp status and stance or shapeshift form.

How to use :

1- Type /powa, to open the effect browser
2- Click on the button "New" to create a new effect
3- On the effect editor, you can choose the texture to apply to the effect, the position, the size, the symmetry, be creative :P
4- Below, select the activator of the effect (like a buff, debuff, etc...)
5- Enter the name of the buff, debuff... just below (or a part of the buff, like "clear" for activation with the buff "clear cast"). Don't forget to read the tooltips for more help on ways to enter the names
6- It's ready ! Close all windows, when you gain the buff/debuff, the effect appears

You can easily add new textures by adding them in the "Custom" Directory,
or dropping sequentially numbered Auraxx.tga files in the Auras subfolder inside the addon directory.

Kinoki84 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Hi all, I'm trying to set up power auras to alert when a spell cool down is up. I got it to work with Inner Focus, checked "Action Usable" and it works like a charm. I can't get it to alert for the PoM cooldown and I don't know why. It's set up the same as my Inner Focus one, no luck. Name is spelled correctly etc. Is there something I'm missing? I have a seperate aura for PoM to notify me that I have the buff. Not sure if that's the problem or not - even when i turn that off I can't get the cooldown alert to register. Here's the set up for each: Here's the one giving me trouble, want it to show for me when my PoM cd is up: This is my PoM buff alert so I know when I have it. I'm wondering if it's interacting with this one? This one I did for Inner Focus is working fine: So I really am not sure what the issue is or what I'm missing. Any help would be appreciate - sorry if the pics are too big =( BTW I love this mod =) Thank you very much for putting it out there. It's a great reminder system especially for me because I'm staring more at health bars than watching my cooldowns! Thanks again =P

Eisen A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Mirror Images I would like to set up an Aura that is triggered once I have cast Mirror Image. I'd like it to also show a timer displaying the remaining time (30 seconds). Since Mirror Image is not a buff/debuff I'm not quite sure how to trigger the aura. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I've tested it in raid and in combat many, many times. Certainly, I'm not discounting operator error, but I've done as much testing as I could.

Talisan A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Possible Feature Addition It would be nice if there were a way to extend the test based on the buff tooltip information. For example, for warlocks. Nether Protection produces six different effects, each with a different damage reduction school. Therefore it would be useful if we could enter Nether Protection Additional text appearing in tooltip: Holy Nether Protection Additional text appearing in tooltip: Shadow Nether Protection Additional text appearing in tooltip: Fire And similarly for the other three schools. Currently there's no way to create an aura that changes color depending on what version of nether protection is activated. Thank you.

The alert works correctly if I have neither option selected, which is not ideal for obvious reasons.

I have attached a screen shot of the config menu for the alert:

Aside from this one problem, I love the addon to bits! Look forward to future updates!

Damageinc333 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Can power auras show tracking abilitys? Basically my character is a herbalist/miner. And gathermate shows me red and green circles on my minimap according to herbs and mineral spots. I would like to use power auras to put either a red or green square around my minimap according to which I am tracking at that time. This would provide intuitive feedback as to what I am tracking. This would save me from having to keep checking my buff bar and allow me to keep my eyes on my minimap. I have created the custom square texture to use. I just cannot figure out how to make Power Auras proc off of "Find Minerals" and "Find Herbs". Does anyone know how to do this? Here is a faked screenshot as to how it would work... Thank you for this great addon. Last edited by Damageinc333 : 03-30-2009 at 01:32 AM.

ant1pathy A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 75 Uploads: 0	I didn't see a features request button, so I'll put it here. Any way to make the "Texture" slider vertical to allow for scrollwheel movement (or an input box)? I have a hell of a time selecting individual textures from the slider, as I tend to move it >5 places at a time.

lycanther A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	Boss/Trash filter? Is there a setting so that an aura will only show up for a debuff on a boss and not on trash? There's no point in casting Scorch on trash, but if I set up the aura to remind me to cast Scorch, I'll end up tuning it out on all the trash to the point that I won't notice it on the bosses.

rewm A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I lost the menu lol I made the mistake of dragging the menu off the screen so I could take a screen shot. I type /powa and I can hear the menu opening and closing, but its down in the bottom right corner out of sight. I even tried deleting the mod itself and the powerauras.lua file in savedvariables and still after re downloading the mod it is still down in the corner where I cant move it. If anyone has any advise id really appreciate it, if not then maybe in a future version you could make a command like /powa default or /powa reset which would bring the menu back to the middle of the screen. thanks

No matter what I do I cannot get this to proc, even though other buffs like Shadow Trance do perfectly. Is it possible its not added? What would I have to do to add it?
