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.

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	Okay, the problem is that NeedjaTracker is overwriting the Blizzard API function "IsInInstance" with a custom function of the same name in the global namespace. I've notified the addon's author, but beyond that, there's nothing I can do in my own addon to fix or work around the problem.

Akkorian A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 111 File comments: 125 Uploads: 2	I’ve just posted a new version with all the changes Phanx had made since the last release (mainly adding WoW China compatibility) and a few other minor fixes (mainly eliminating leaked globals). I also updated the Spanish localization; I’m not greatly fluent, but I am better at it than Phanx. We still need Korean translations, and the Russian localization is missing translations for a number of phrases. If you can help, please send me a PM!

Szyarah A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 139 Uploads: 0	Thank you! I LOVE this addon, it's the best and I was very bummed when it went off with the patch. I have been using cheap imitations since then but am gladly switching back.

Akkorian A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 111 File comments: 125 Uploads: 2	Hi Szyarah, Thanks! Also, just for future reference, if you check the “Load out of date addons” box at the top of the addon panel on the login screen, WoW will try to load addons that haven’t been updated since the last patch. Most patches don’t break all addons, or even most addons, so this usually gets everything working again with a minimum of fuss. You’ll have to re-check the box after each patch, though. __________________ “Be humble, for you are made of earth. Be noble, for you are made of stars.”

Miisery A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	So.. I realized today that my Murloc sound is missing. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm sad because all the other sounds besides Gong are too quiet for me to hear. That and Murlocs remind me of the water, so that's what I think of. =[ Was this planned or is it a bug?

Akkorian A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 111 File comments: 125 Uploads: 2	Hi Miisery, I think you maybe posted on the wrong addon. ShieldsUp doesn’t have anything to do with murloc sounds. Or, maybe you had another addon registering a murloc sound, and you were using that sound in ShieldsUp. If that’s what you mean, then you’ll need to look at other addons you’ve recently updated or removed. The list of sounds ShieldsUp registers with the LibSharedMedia-3.0 library (which allows sharing sounds, fonts, and textures between addons that use the same library) hasn’t changed in a very long time. __________________ “Be humble, for you are made of earth.

Rustytotem A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 23 Uploads: 8	Earth shield counter not appearing Hi. Until this latest update the addon was working fine for me. After updating, the earth shield counter isn't appearing. I'm in a party (cross-realm). I've tried switching specs, and as far as I'm aware, I've checked all the options.

Since it worked fine for me before I posted the release, I'm going to need more information from you; specifically, whether you're on live or beta servers, and if there are any error messages. See also:

Bug Reports

If you encounter a problem with ShieldsUp, please try some quick troubleshooting steps first, and then submit a bug report to let me know about the problem.

Please copy this list into your ticket and fill in as many of the details as you can.

ShieldsUp version (eg. 3.3.5.71)
WoW version and locale (as seen on the login screen, eg. 3.3.5 enUS)
Description of the problem
Steps to reproduce the problem
Whether the problem happens when all other addons are disabled
Exact text of the first related error message, if any
Please do not include any lists of local variables or installed addons that your error display may add!
Screenshot, if the problem is graphical

Remember to check on your ticket after a few days, as I may need more information from you in order to find and fix the problem!

Thanks.

Mallone A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Hello Phanx, Thank you for the Addon, so nice and simple and no bloat. Perfection. I am into minimal UI's and I use TukUI, I want to make your mod fit a little nicer and all I want to do is to know how to mod the Font choice? Any guidance on best way to do this would be great.

08-07-12, 12:00 AM
Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	I'm not sure what you mean by "mod the font choice". There is an option to select a font in the ShieldsUp options panel. ShieldsUp supports LibSharedMedia-3.0, so you should be able to use any font that comes with any addon you use (assuming they all support LSM3, which pretty much every addon that includes a font option does). If you want more choices, just install any of the many SharedMedia media packs that are available; the "original" SharedMedia pack even includes step by step instructions on how to add your own fonts, which will then be available in ShieldsUp and in all your other addons as well. If that doesn't help you, you'll have to be more clear on what you actually want to do. __________________ Retired author of too many addons.
