ShieldsUp

Version: 6.0.3.48

by: Phanx [More]

2016/07/29 — I do not plan to update ShieldsUp for Legion, as shaman shields no longer exist in a meaningful form in the game.

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

Easy-to-read plain text display
Shows your active shields, their remaining charges*, and the name of your Earth Shield target
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.

Feedback

Post a ticket on GitHub or post a comment on this page. If you are reporting a problem, please read this first. If you are requesting a feature, please note that I consider ShieldsUp to be complete, and will probably not add any new features.

Language Support

Works in all languages. Translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano (partial), Português, Русский, 한국어 (partial), 简体中文, and 繁體中文. You can add or update translations for any language on the CurseForge project page.

For example, I would like to add the Tuk warning sound to the list, but cannot for the life of me figure out where to adjust the data. Thank you again for a great addon.

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	ShieldsUp gets its list of sounds via the LibSharedMedia-3.0 library. In order to add more sounds, you need to register more sounds with the library. The easiest way to do this is to download the addon SharedMedia, and follow the instructions included in the "MyMedia instructions.txt" file for adding your own sounds (or fonts, or textures), which will then be available to ShieldsUp and all other addons using the library.

jsmith A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the sound file to play. It showed up in the drop down alert list in the Shieldsup config menu, but no audio noise could be heard. It might have something to do with the UI package I am using. The 'Tuk Warning' appears just fine with Elv's UI package, but when trying a different package by Eclipse, there is nothing, even with using sharedmedia (both automatic and manual setup). But thank you again for your help and for a great Shaman addon.

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	Make sure that the path to the sound file is correct, and that the sound file was in place before WoW started; WoW builds a list of files when it first opens, and won't pick up on any file additions or deletions while it's running.

I'll see if I can figure out if it's a mod conflict or a bug with ShieldsUp. Thanks!

Bug with ShieldsUp looks like:

I've deleted your comment for two reasons:

1. The version of ShieldsUp you're using is extremely outdated. Addons are updated for a reason. Absolutely no support will be provided for any version but the current one.

2. Error reports belong in the bug tracker to report bugs, not the comments page.

Esmeralda A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	Recently took up again on this lovely little thing on my elemental shaman, now that knowing at all times how many charges of lightning shields actually has a purpose Features request. Could it be possible to add a 'fade out of combat' feature and perhaps a scaling options to make fonts even larger than normally allowed? Thanks kindly

10-17-10, 05:24 PM
Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	1. WoW simply won't render any fonts larger than size 28-36 (it depends on the particular font file you're using), so what you're asking for is not possible. You can pass 9000 to the SetFont function if you want, but you won't see any difference between that and 36. 2. You can already hide ShieldsUp when you're out of combat. Take another look at the options. There's an entire panel for setting the conditions under which you want the addon to be visible. __ Last edited by Phanx : 10-17-10 at 05:25 PM.

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	No. The Fulmination talent does not actually require you to have 9 charges of Lightning Shield, and I do not want ShieldsUp to get into the business of making gameplay suggestions. If you're having trouble remembering to use Earth Shock, you may find this addon useful: Fulminator http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ulminator.html
