ShieldsUp

Version: 5.2.0.158

by: Phanx, Akkorian

ShieldsUp monitors your Earth Shield, Water Shield, and Lightning Shield.

Easy-to-read plain text display
Shows your active shields and their remaining charges *
Shows who you cast your Earth Shield on
Visual indication when another shaman overwrites your Earth Shield
Optional text and sound alerts when one of your shields expires or is removed
Condensed display while solo (or for shamans without Earth Shield)
Support for all colorblindness modes
Support for custom fonts and sounds via LibSharedMedia-3.0 media packs

* Note that Water Shield and Lightning Shield will display a "W" or "L", respectively, except for elemental shamans, who will see a number for Lightning Shield when they have at least one extra charge.

Type “/sup” for options, or browse to the ShieldsUp panel in the standard Interface Options window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn’t ShieldsUp monitoring my Earth Shield?

A: ShieldsUp only monitors Earth Shield when it’s cast on yourself, or on a player or pet in your party or raid group. There is no way for addons to reliably monitor buffs cast on units who are not in your group, so ShieldsUp doesn’t try.

Q: Why am I only seeing one charge counter?

A: ShieldsUp switches to a single-counter display when you are solo, or if you don’t have the Earth Shield talent, since in either situation it’s only possible for you to have one shield active on a target ShieldsUp can monitor.

Feature Requests

I consider ShieldsUp to be complete, and do not plan to add any new features. If you would like to suggest something anyway, feel free to submit a suggestion ticket describing your idea.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2620 File comments: 1696 Uploads: 30	I've just posted a beta version, 3.0.3.30-beta. This is a near-total rewrite. The addon is now watching spellcast and aura events instead of scanning every combat log message. This results in inherent support for current and future talents and glyphs which alter the number of charges on shields, and in greater accuracy under many circumsances, including high latency and passing through loading screens. Solo mode now also works as intended. Please note that this beta version does not yet have a configuration interface. Many settings will translate from the previous versions, but I make no guarantees, especially if your configuration was very different from the default configuration. Please do not use this beta version if you are not prepared to encounter bugs, or if you are not willing to report bugs in a useful way. I will be working on the configuration interface over the next few days. If no major issues arise in the beta, it will become the release version no more than one week from now.

Guintof A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	Have been using the beta version for a few days. I have to say that so far I had no problems what so ever. I am currently elemental so I haven't been able to test earth shield and such but sound is working for water shield and I have not seen the addon miss a single time nor any error message. Thumbs up so far.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2620 File comments: 1696 Uploads: 30	Version 34-beta is now available under the "Beta" tab. A limited set of options are now available in the Interface Options panel. You can shortcut to the ShieldsUp panel by typing "/sup". More options will be added shortly. Please test the existing options and report any bugs you encounter. If you are not comfortable using beta software, and/or are unwilling or unable to report bugs correctly, please do not use this beta version; instead, use the last release version available by clicking the "Download" button. And just a reminder to everyone, when you report a bug, it is critical that you specify which version you are using. You can find this information in-game by expanding the ShieldsUp options category and selecting the "About" subcategory, or by opening the ShieldsUp.toc file in Notepad. If you do not specify a version number, I will not waste my time trying to figure out which version you might be using based on some vague description of the problem, and I will summarily close your report. Please see my portal for a list of information you should include with every bug report.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2620 File comments: 1696 Uploads: 30	3.0.3.39-beta is now available. This version adds back options for configuring text and sound alerts. There are several known issues with the new options; these issues are purely cosmetic, and are noted in the "Changes" tab. Please do not report these issues, as I am already aware of them. Please do report other issues you may encounter with the beta configuration or addon itself. When reporting any kind of problem, please remember to include the version of the addon you are using, and check to make sure it hasn't already been reported.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2620 File comments: 1696 Uploads: 30	3.0.2.25 is essentially unsupported, and no bugs that exist in it will have any time devoted to them at all, as the new (currently beta) versions are fully rewritten and do not suffer from any of these bugs. The beta versions are quite stable, and are completely usable. They are still marked as beta only because the configuration UI is not yet finished. I'll look into the cross-server issue, as it's not intended that your ES isn't tracked on players in battlegrounds. I'll also consider an option to hide the Earth Shield target name. Please post tickets in the bug report and feature request trackers respectively, so that I don't forget about these issues. Being able to enter specific numbers for the position and padding settings is already on my to-do list. Automatic showing and hiding under various conditions are also on my to-do list; in fact this is already coded in, but there is not yet a GUI to set it up. Different colors for zeros on different shields will not happen unless you have an extremely compelling reason why this would be worth the time it would require to implement and the bloat it would add to the addon.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2620 File comments: 1696 Uploads: 30	3.0.9.42 is now available. Although configuration still isn't 100% finished (I have extremely limited time for coding right now) everything works, and most options are available. Please do not report bugs related to the configuration UI. I know it's not fully functional. I don't need more reports telling me it's not fully functional.

Re: Yo dawg!

I'll check it out when I get home. Just out of curiosity, when's the last time you logged in with a fresh install? I haven't changed anything in that section of the code recently...

Unfortunately no, as the Sink-2.0 library does not support that, and I don't have time to reinvent the wheel right now. Your best bet is probably to post a request on the Sink-2.0 project page.

leadfeather89 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	I can't get this addon to work at all (Feb. 24 2009) I'm on a Macintosh, but I doubt that's the issue, seeing as I use just about every mod I can possibly find. I tried un-enabling all of my other mods and just using Shieldsup, but no good. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I download the mod and it contains inside of the one folder: Core.lua Libs\CallbackHandler-1.0 Libs\LibSharedMedia-3.0 Libs\LibSink-2.0 Libs\LibStub Locales Options.lua README.TXT Shieldsup.toc I tried removing the 4 Libs\lib etc documents and putting them in my Addons folder, but nothing. Also deleted the "Libs\" on them thinking maybe it was a source error, but nothing still. Any suggestions? Am I just retarded? /tear

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2620 File comments: 1696 Uploads: 30	Well, your post is pretty vague. How is the addon "not working"? Does it appear on the AddOns screen in-game? Did you exit WoW completely and restart it? Is it enabled at the AddOns screen, but not loading in-game? Are you trying to load it on a non-shaman character? Do you receive any error messages? Do you have Lua errors turned on, or an error-catching addon like BugSack installed and enabled? Assuming you're installing the addon in the right place, and that it is enabled, and that you're logging on a shaman character, if the addon is not being loaded, there is an error somewhere. If there is no error, you're doing something wrong. If there is an error, I need to know what it is before I can fix it.

Well, I fiddled around with some stuff and I got it to semi work.

These are the mods that show up in my Addon tab at the character screen

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9929/picture3b.jpg

none of them are outdated, but when I try to change any of the settings in game such as "text alert" or "Sound Alert" or any of those options, I get this error message:

Interface\Addons\ShieldsUp\Options:Lua:412: attempt to call method 'Get Checked' (a nil value)

Interface\Addons\ShieldsUp\Options:Lua:424: attempt to call method 'Get Checked' (a nil value)

Interface\Addons\ShieldsUp\Options:Lua:436: attempt to call method 'Get Checked' (a nil value)

Interface\Addons\ShieldsUp\Options:Lua:481: attempt to call method 'Get Checked' (a nil value)

Interface\Addons\ShieldsUp\Options:Lua:493: attempt to call method 'Get Checked' (a nil value)

And when I try to change the "Sound File" to something different, I get..

Interface\Addons\ShieldsUp\Options:Lua:436: attempt to index global 'LSM' (a nil value)

Last thing that I only see watershield on myself, but never my earthshield on anyone but myself. If I have watershield on me and earthshield on someone else in my group/raid, it doesn't display anything but my watershield count.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2620 File comments: 1696 Uploads: 30	Looking over your list of files again, it appears that you are missing at least one file from the latest release. Please completely delete your copy of the addon (plus the standalone libraries you installed for it), then re-download the latest version from this page, and extract it into your AddOns folder without making any changes to the contents. You should end up with the following file structure inside "World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\ShieldsUp": Code: Core.lua Options.lua README.TXT ShieldsUp.toc Widgets.lua Libs CallbackHandler-1.0 CallbackHandler-1.0.lua CallbackHandler-1.0.xml LibSharedMedia-3.0 lib.xml LibSharedMedia-3.0.lua LibSink-2.0 lib.xml LibSink-2.0.lua LibStub .pkgmeta LibStub.lua LibStub.toc Locales ruRU.lua The italicized files aren't necessary for the addon to function, but they should be there unless you intentionally deleted them. The errors you posted below indicate that required files were missing, which indicates an improper installation. Last edited by Phanx : 02-25-09 at 04:35 PM.
