Faceroller

Version: 0.2.9

by: hungtar [More]

please accept my apology for abandoning this addon and not answering your support requests.

I don't play wow anymore and thus any request will remain unaswered.

What is Faceroller?

Faceroller is an addon in the spirit of Event Horizon with the look of Faceshooter. It's focus lies on using a minimal amount of screen space while showing anything you need to know at the moment.

It will show you only one icon on the screen: the highest priority ability, which should be used next. Once the ability was used, it will reevaluate all cooldowns and debuffs on your target and present you the next spell.

As this needs tracking of cooldowns and debuffs and making decisions what to suggest when, Faceroller is split into modules. And to get some use out of Faceroller, you will need a module that fits your talent spec (See below for a list of modules).

You will get little or no use out of Faceroller if your toon is below level 80!

What Faceroller is NOT

First and foremost, Faceroller is not all knowing. It only keeps track of your current target and therefore can assist you only with a single target.

How to use Faceroller

First, you will need a module that works with your spec. There are currently modules available for the following specs:

Warrior:
- Arms
- Fury
- Prot 1 (included, experimental*, by Opaque)
- Prot 2
Shadow Priest
Balance Druid
Deathknight:
- Frost 1 (included, experimental*, by hectolight, module name: dkdwfrost)
- Frost 2 (included, experimental*, by Kallsuh, module name: dkdwfrost_Kall)
- unholy
- blood
Paladin:
- Retribution
- Prot (included, experimental*, by lloydbates)
Warlock:
Hunter:
- mm/sv/bm hunters (included, all in one module named simplehunter)
Shaman:
- Enhancement (included)
- Elemental (included, experimental*)
Mage:
- FFB (included, experimental*)
- Arcane (included, experimental*)
Rogue:
- Combat

* These modules may not always work as expected. If they don't, please leave a comment.

If you see the message "init failed for module ... (Reason: none given)" enable debug output with /fr debug. Make sure your character knows all the spells, required by the module you are using, before reporting it as a bug!

Install a module of your choice along with Faceroller. Start WoW. You can fire up the GUI with /fr config or by clicking on the LDB plugin (if you have a broker display).

Note: Faceroller rememberrs different modules for both specs, if you have dual spec. If you switch specs for the first time after installing Faceroller, don't forget to configure!

Note: All modules require your character to be level 80 to work!

Getting started with your own module

Writing your own module can be as easy as editing a lua table. See Faceroller_EasyExample (included in the zip) for an example how that works.

If the possibilities provided by the Easy* API are too restraining, you will need some knowledge of lua or you will have a hard time writing your own module. Have a look at Faceroller_ExampleModule (included in the zip). It's a simple module that does the same as Faceroller_EasyExample but with a more complex API. The comments are quiet extensive and should give you a good overview how things work.

The module Faceroller_SimpleEnhancementShaman uses a mixture of both and might help you as well with getting started.

Also, have a look at the documentation at github. If you have further questions, leave a comment.

Want to share your module?

If you wrote a module but you don't want to maintain it yourself, i can include it in the zip here. Just send me a PM or leave a comment where i can find your module. Note: since i won't be able to test all modules, new included modules will be marked as experimental for a few weeks. If too many people complain about an experimental module, it will get deleted. So please make sure it really works.

Following is a (possibly incomplete) list of specs, for which there is currently no module:

Feral Druid
Rogue: assassination, subtlety

Edit: in 0.0.5 "if spells[X].usable == 1 and spells[X].enabled ~= 1 then ..." should work. [/b]

Awesome, I'll play around with .enabled tonight. I also may take a stab at adding multiple queue frames.

i also moved the createFrames function to Faceroller:createFrames so you can easily create a new frame from inside your module. But unlocking, moving etc. will not be handled for you. Still not convinced there is a real use for multiple frames though. Let me know how it goes

FYI.

Thanks for letting me know. Just downloaded that thing to get an idea what the issue could be. Unfortunately, i got an "Internal Error" on every addon i tried to update. I will wait some time and try this again. But at the moment there is nothing i can do about this.

Edit: looked in the mmoui minion forum and noticed this is a known bug with the client. Will pack the next release with just the addons in the zip and not in an extra folder. But of course i won't be able to check if that fixes it.

Edit: 0.0.6 is packed as described above. let's hope that fixes it.

Around lines 234 - 241 there appears to be an option to enable/disable Hunter's Mark. However, it's impossible to toggle it. I'm guessing that on line 235 it should say "if options.hunters_makr == 0 then", as that would actually allow a toggle.

I found out why. A lot of the Print function calls aren't written right. Roughly 12 or so of them are:

Code:

Print ("blah blah blah")

There's a space between function and arguments!

-- register the module. (the last arg, which we pass as
-- nil here, would be the function to handle module options.
-- see FR_test2.lua for an example on how to do that).
Faceroller:RegisterModule(MODULE_NAME, Init, NextShot, nil)

I wasn't able to find FR_test2.lua, and it's not covered in FR_test3.lua either. How do we use the last argument?

No, you didn't find out why. The space between function and arguments doesn't matter.

You didn't see any output because it wasn't there. However, that was already adressed in 0.0.2 or something. Please make sure you are using the latest version before you post comments here.

The references in Faceroller_ExampleModule to an non-existing module FR_test2 is corrected in 0.0.7. FR_test2 is now Faceroller_SimpleHunter.

Right now I'm just writing modules for it, I haven't actually logged on yet to use the addon. I was working with 0.0.6, though. I just grabbed the archived 0.0.4 to find FR_test2, in any case.

Which version of faceroller are you using? Did you follow the instructions on the page? With the latest version, after executing /fr mod simplehunter it should work. If it doesn't work for what ever reason, you should at least get a error message.

TekNoir Premium Member Forum posts: 23 File comments: 15 Uploads: 1	SimpleEnhancementShaman I was just about to rewrite ShamWow to be more generic (for any class) when I saw this addon newly posted. Your addon is exactly what I wanted. Great work so far! I made some changes to your included SimpleEnhancementShaman that others might like to use. With the changes to Flame Shock if glyphed (increased duration and crits), I added a check to see if the shaman has the needed glyph and whether or not the target already has the debuff. It will replace the first earth shock in the melee rotation if both conditions are met. It will also suggest flame shock over earth shock if ranged and both conditions are met. If in melee range, it will suggest using Stormstrike before flame shock or earth shock for the bonus damage. I also added Shamanistic Rage and an emergency heal if low on life. I forget if I added more or changed anything else. Those are the big changes. --- If I might make some requests? 1. Perhaps a way to detect combat status (in or out of combat)? I was going to put in a suggestion to heal if low on life, high on mana, and out of combat. When I target something and the Faceroller button appears, it would yell "Heal yourself before you do something stupid!" or at least display the heal icon (preferably just the icon). That way I don't waltz into combat with too low of life, especially if I have the mana to spare. 2. Perhaps a better way to detect if in melee range than the way I have scripted? The way I wrote it feels a bit awkward. It also sometimes but rarely requires me to be struck once before it realizes I'm in melee range. 3. Perhaps an easier way to access glyphs and possibly talents? It took me quite some time to figure out exactly which spell id to use for a detected glyph. 4. Perhaps a better way to exclude spells from the rotation when you still need to keep up with their cooldown (e.g. Shamanistic Rage)? I used the p-variable and v.data (detecting zero; anything other than zero sorts according to priority), but it currently feels awkward. Acceptable as it currently is so it's certainly a low priority. Currently I believe you can just give anything you want out of rotation a .data of zero and then number everything else according to priority (with bigger == better) and then exclude zeros after the fact (as I did in my example). That is all that I can think of for now. Thank you for your time and the wonderful addon! --- PS: Cannot figure how to add a file, so here is my revised code. Code: -- -- Enhancement Shaman module. -- do local _, playerClass = UnitClass("player") if playerClass ~= "SHAMAN" then return end end local MODULE = "enh" local Faceroller = _G["Faceroller"] local gsi = Faceroller.gsi local b_maelstrom local b_lightning local b_fshock local fshock = false local ranged = 0 local mana = 0 local maxMana = 0 local health = 0 local maxHealth = 0 local Init = function() local skills = { [17364] = 400, -- Stormstrike [8042] = 200, -- Earth Shock [60103] = 100, -- Lava Lash [30823] = 0, --Shamanistic Rage } for k, v in pairs(skills) do if Faceroller:HasSpell (k) == false then return nil, "spell not found" end end Faceroller:RegisterBuff(324) -- lightning shield Faceroller:RegisterBuff(51532) -- maelstrom weapon -- check for glyph of flame shock and register debuff fshock = false for i = 1, 6 do local _, _, g, _ = GetGlyphSocketInfo(i, atg) if g == 55447 then fshock = true Faceroller:RegisterDebuff(8050, true) --Flame Shock print (MODULE ..
