EventAlert  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.7.6
by: CurtisTheGreat [More]

The addon will notify you in the middle of your screen with an icon, name of the spell that has procced, the time left on the proc and will make a subtle sound. EventAlert is also able to handle more than one proc at a time (this option was not available in previous versions).

I am not fond of addons that have very complicated installation and setups. The mod should work on install without any config, but if you wish to change any options use the following command: /ea options
To see a more detailed list of what options are avaiable to the mod, just check out the screenshot of the options pane.

This mod tracks the following events/procs:

  • Death Knight
    • Cinderglacier (Runeforging)
    • Dark Transformation
    • Killing Machine
    • Rime (Freezing Fog)
    • Rune Strike
    • Sudden Doom
    Druid

Quick Backstory: I created this addon as a test for myself as my first "from the ground up" addon. Most of my coding in WoW LUA was taking other addons and just fixing them so they work from minor bugs or whatnot.

Anyhow, I needed a mod that was lightweight and did only what I wanted it to do, and that was warn me when one of my spells or talents procced something I needed. Thus, EventAlert was born. There are likely to be bugs, explosions and not so good things that may come from this mod. I'm sorry in advance! If you find a bug, please let me know so I can fix it.

Also, if anyone finds a spell/talent/etc that they want watched, please let me know and I will add it!

4.7.6
Bugfix: Fixed problem with spell charges not showing up on alerts.
Bugfix: Fixed problem with alerts not showing when options changed without a reload.
Change: Added option to show/hide spell charges.

To see the full change log, view the changelog.txt file included in the EventAlert zip file.

Revenge isn't exactly what this mod was designed for, and as such, I have no framework set up to actually track if Revenge is active.

The way the mod works, is it watches for buffs on the player that appear, like Sword and Board does for the warrior. Revenge doesn't create a buff on the player, but instead just becomes active due to a combat action.

I'll see about adding these types of events at a later time, but the mod wasn't originally designed for that. SCT is a great mod you might check out in the mean time, just to do handle this type of action.

I'll try and hash out a way to do what you're wanting to do, while keeping this mod simple as it was originally intended. Most likely, it will be when I add the ability to add your own events on the fly, without having to ask me to add them for you. (Which is the next change that is coming with this mod, actually!)

Anyhow, I've updated Backlash, and I am going to go through the spell IDs later and double check them all to see if we've found all the glitches of this nature.

Thanks for reporting the issue.
Awesome thanks for that I had a hunch that it might have been something similar to what the others were discussing.

Keep up the good work, this addon is terrific. Definitely a must have, especially for pvp.

I'm still looking into this BTW. I'm thinking there isn't going to be a way to JUST show the 5th buff, because of the way the spell IDs are set up.

I could code it to read if the buff is refreshed 5 times, but if you get dispelled or something like that, there isn't really a good way to reset the count... then it will end up alerting you on the wrong counts.

I'll look more into it.

Eh, eh, I've just seen that you change the way your addon works ^^ (spell ID vs spell name )

I test last week with eclipse and it works (eclipse as 2 way to work for Wrath buff or SF buff).

I will test with your new version and will report to you.

(sorry for the late but I have to much work in the past day to play wow )

Rock on! Only about an hour left here at work and I'll snag it again. Thanks for responding again!

The thing with the Maelstrom Weapon buff is that each rank has the same proc spell ID. So it will show up if you have x1, x2, x3, x4, x5.

http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51528 - Rank 1
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51529 - Rank 2
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51530 - Rank 3
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51531 - Rank 4
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51532 - Rank 5

http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53817 - Proc

If you go to the first 5 wowhead links it will give you the link to the proc under "spell details".
