A few Know-It-All bars.

Know-It-All Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Know-It-All is a NECB clone using the Ace 3 framework. It displays combat timer bars that can track buffs, debuffs, CCs, temporary summons and protection effects and tells you how much time is left.

Know-It-All is still very early in development but quite stable. Many NECB features are implemented such as target and focus tracking, PvP sounds, limited DR tracking, etc.

Know-It-All can be configured from the interface menu or type /kia. See the FAQ.txt for more info.

Mind adding support for stackable debuffs, like Fire Vulnerability and Winter's Chill?

Ah, I think I see what's wrong. Will be fixed in next version or you can pull the latest version from the SVN if it bother's you too much. Thanks for the report.

Those are two spells I'd like to see as well but the current state of the combat log makes it difficult. I think it will be fixed in 3.0.2 so I'll be releasing a new version asap.

#16979 is Feral Charge if you're triggering it off of SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS, #45334 is Feral Charge Effect if you're triggering it off of SPELL_AURA_APPLIED or SPELL_AURA_REMOVED you want the latter, instead of the former.

Creating a table every SPELL_AURA_APPLIED if they are humans is generally bad, passing it as something like "destGUID:spellID" then string.splitting it in RemoveDR is better.

Same with SetDR(), if you move drMultiplier right above SetDR() you'll only create the table once instead of on every call.

For CheckForInstance() you should look into http://www.wowwiki.com/API_IsInInstance as thats a more accurate method then checking coords, you don't need to do a 5 second timer either. Personally I use a combination of ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA + PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD, I can't recall if ZCNE fires after PEW when logging in/reloading, don't think so.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the tips. Been banging my head on the whole table thing and why memory goes through the roof. LUA does some wacky stuff. Got my memory usage down almost 20x so I'm pretty happy now.

I've also had time to play with it on the WotLK beta and have started to write some code for it. Big changes to the combat log system again which should make Know-It-All much more accurate but requires a bunch of changes to the code.

I started Know-It-All back when NECB looked dead and have been disappointed with the new one so far. A little competition never hurts.

Yes, it will track all stuns done to your target and those around you. There is currently no way to query how many combo points another rogue or druid has so Know It All will just show the lowest duration on KS and Maim.

Seeing as the NECB project was picked up again, what's the reason to use your addon compared to the actual NECB?

Good luck with your mod! Do you plan on adding more options to it (split groups, bar filters, <insert feature from necb>, etc.)?

Ah, if those are all correct than that is exactly what I need. Guess I better get started. Thanks!

I'll have a bunch more options in the next release including a few filters. Split groups shouldn't be too hard and will add that in the future. I also hope to re-implement raid trash timers soon as well.

About 200 spells are implemented now and more are slowly being added as their spell IDs are discovered. Help is appreciated in finding more. You can report missing IDs to me by using the debug option and casting the missing spell in an unpopulated area. Or if anyone knows an online database of all spells that would be awesome.
