O-Wheely! - Buffs and Macros on your Mousewheel!

O-Wheely! - Buffs and Macros on your Mousewheel
Version 1.02
by <Damage Inc> of (EU)Draenor - email damageinc [at] theedgeofthevoid.com

What does O-Wheely! do?

Buffs!
Rolling your mousewheel will intelligently buff you, your target and nearby members of your party/raid automatically.

Macros!
When no buffs are needed, or in-combat, macros can be defined on mousewheelup/down.

BuffReminders!
O-Wheely reminds you about missing buffs in the standard UI error frame
(where messages like "Out of Range" and "You can't do that yet" normally appear)
so you don't forget to buff yourself, your target, your party or your raid

Camera Zoom!
Camera-zoom still works too, just hold the rightmousebutton when scrolling

What Buffs does O-Wheely! remind me about/cast?

Self Buffs
O-Wheely! remembers your last Blessing,Aura,Aspect,Mage Armor,Warlock Armor,Shaman WeaponBuffs and Rogue Poisons,
reminds you when they expire and will recast them when you roll the mousewheel

Party/Raid Buffs
O-Wheely! checks nearby party/raid members, reminds you when they need one of your buffs and casts them when you roll the mousewheel
Group buffs are used (if you have reagents) so long as at least 4 players are in range/need the buff.
Single-target buffs are used otherwise - so no wasting reagents on latecomers/when rebuffing after deaths etc.

Situational Buffs
O-Wheely! will remember when you cast certain spells on yourself or party/raid members, will remind you when they expire and recast them when you roll the mousewheel.
Self-Buffs are remindered/recast until you cancel an active buff (even after logout)
Buffs cast on others are remindered/recast until you leave party/raid or logout.
Note: "/ow sreset" clears all situational non-self-buffs (at the request of raiders!)

Hunters
Mousewheeling toggles between combat and runspeed Aspects.

Paladins
Mousewheeling will enable Crusader Aura when mounted and your last Aura when dismounted.

Full details of the buffs cast for your class appears on the Interface/Options screen (/ow)

What Macros does O-Wheely! cast?

Use "/ow macro" (or Interface/Addons/O-Wheely!/Macro Configuration) to access the macro configuration screen.
There are presets available for most classes or you can enter you own macros for MouseWheelUp and MouseWheelDown.
These will be called when there are no buffs required or when you're in-combat.

Note:
If no macro is defined, the following spells will be cast in-combat.
Paladins (MouseWheelDown): Last non Crusader Aura (Self)
Hunters (MouseWheelDown): Last non-runspeed Aspect (Self)

Getting Started
The first time you play a character, cast your favourite buffs
(Paladin: Blessing/Aura, Hunters: Aspect, Mage: Shield, Warlock: Armor, Shaman: WeaponBuffs, Rogue: Poisons).
O-Wheely! will then reminder/recast these anytime you're not "resting" (e.g. in a city).

FAQ
Q - Is this an ACE/ACE2/ACE3 Mod?
A - No - partly because I'm not familiar with ACE and partly because it wouldn't greatly benefit from ACE's framework/libraries.
It's very low-cpu and low-memory - it typically uses < 60kb memory and almost no CPU.

Q - I'd like to customise the buffs I'm giving.
A - I've tried VERY hard to make buffing so simple that no configuration is required.
If you have a suggestion as to how O-Wheely! could buff 'smarter' do please let me know.

Q - I'd rather not use Group Buffs in some situations - how can I?
A - Either carry no reagents (lol!) OR hold LeftMouseButton when scrolling to prevent any group buff being used

Credits
This mod began life as the excellent AddOnTemplate by BelleBoom

Credit also due to Aeldra - the author of SmartBuff - without that I'd never have been inspired to create this!

Thanks to Aegwynn - official beta tester and guinea pig!!

Common/Known Issues
Q - (Paladins and Hunters) In combat, mousewheeldown toggles my Aura/Aspect on and off - why?
A - You entered combat with Crusader Aura/Aspect of the Cheetah/Pack so the mousewheel was setup to replace it.
I can't change this until combat ends and buffing yourself with an Aura/Aspect you already have cancels it!

Q - (Paladins and Hunters) MousewheelDown isn't removing my mount/runspeed Aura/Aspect in combat
A - If you've created a macro/chosen a preset for MouseWheelDown, that will overrides this function.
To restore it, select "Do Nothing" for MouseWheelDown.

Q - I've cancelled a situational buff but O-Wheely! keeps rebuffing me with it.
A - You need to cast and then immediately cancel a buff for O-Wheely to stop rebuffing it automatically.

Q - Why isn't Shift/Control/Alt+Mousewheeling working?
A - It's possible you have specifically bound these to other functions
To check what bindings exist ow checkbindings" - a list of any mousewheel bindings will be shown.
Shift+Mousewheel is bound BY DEFAULT to Action Bar Paging
CTRL+Mousewheel is bound BY DEFAULT to Vehicle Control in WOTLK
You can override these bindings by selecting Shift/Ctrl/Alt options on the "/ow" options screen
You do NOT need to remove the camera bindings - I override these automatically.

Q - Why don't [button:1] modifiers work in OWheely macros (/ow macro)
A - WoW discards mousebutton information when you scroll the wheel - sorry about that...

Q - I've NOT selected CTRL/ALT/SHIFT+mousewheel (/ow) but it still works when I hold CTRL and scroll the wheel - why?
A - If you have NOTHING bound to CTRL/ALT/SHIFT+Mousewheel WOW just ignores the modifier entirely.

Q - I've selected CTRL/ALT/SHIFT+mousewheel (/ow) and macros with modifiers like [mod:alt] don't work?
A - WoW discards modifiers if they're specifically bound.
To use them, uncheck CTRL/ALT/SHIFT in "/ow" and remove any keybindings shown in "/ow keybindings".

Added 'example' macro to make it easier to start entering your own macros...

0.94 Pre-Release

Existing Users MAY need to reinstate Camera Zoom, Actionbar Shifting and Vehicle Controls (WOTLK BETA) to their default values just this once.
Added 'SHIFT' 'CTRL' and 'ALT' checkboxes to the "/ow" screen so that users can choose whether to bind these combinations to O-Wheely! or to their default functions

Code heavily rewritten to reduce reliance on globals

0.93 Pre-Release
Fixed an issue when cancelling situational self-buffs
Added DeathKnight 'Bone Shield' to Situational Buffs (just to keep them busy until I've played some more!)

To reset Party/Raid (and NOT self) Situational Buffs - type "/ow sreset"
Removed dependency on MINIMAP - removed all 'hidden' button cosmetic code...
/ow macros will now cast when mounted - to avoid dismounting use [nomounted] in your macros (all presets use this)

Paladins: Righteous Fury is now a situational buff (by request of the "Paladins in cloth" community)

kerrang A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 109 File comments: 96 Uploads: 6	I've just uploaded 0.6PR - just a few changes to make the mod less 'annoying' at the wrong times Buff reminders are now disabled when 'resting' (e.g. in cities/inns etc.) - this is mainly for Arena players who have their buffs wiped everytime they finish a game... Buff reminders are also disabled when you're in a raid group UNLESS you're also in a Battleground - for all the PvE raiders who don't want endless reminders to buff people!! Buff reminders are now enabled in Druid shapeshift - so you don't forget buffs which have expired - but you'll need to un-shapeshift before they will cast of course. Group Buffs (Arcane Brilliance, Gift of the Wild, Prayer of Fortitude and Prayer of Spirit) now checked before casting solo equivalents - stops a lot of 'A more powerful spell is already active' spam... Thx for reading!

I've deliberately avoided group buffs because I wanted to make an addon which works in battlegrounds, PuGs etc. - where they are seldom useful.

With group buffs you have to check how many group members are in-range, how many need the buff and whether you have the reagents - and everyone has a different opinion on when they would/would not use them.

Greater Paladin Blessings are useless on hybrid classes too - one of the main features of O-Wheely! is it's ability to buff those classes CORRECTLY, not just throw a 'one size fits all' buff at them.

I have considered throwing Greater Blessings of Might and Wisdom for Warriors/Hunters/Rogues/Mages/Priests when you're in the 'Preparation' area of a Battleground - to save wearing-out your mousewheel - but even then people can be out of line-of-sight or latecomers - it often doesn't save that much...

If you're working in neat, organised raidgroups you might want to take a look at ZOMGBuffs instead perhaps - it's designed with those in mind and uses group buffs widely (in fact I think the author has shares in a reagent manufacturer!!!)
