Power Auras Classic v4 - MoP Version 

1. In very early MoP I tried Weak Auras briefly and moved a couple of effects over to that mod due to some bugs in this mod. But I was ecstatic when those issues in PA were fixed. I might've gotten used to WA's interface eventually, but I'm glad I didn't have to. IMO Power Auras is far superior, and is one of only a couple of add-ons I truly don't know how I'd raid without.

However, until a few days ago I hadn't updated since 4.23.12. Wow Resike, SO many bug fixes and improvements! Thanks a lot for taking over this mod and maintaining/improving it. Once I saw the "Glow = Blend Mode: Add" tip and fixed all of my auras that had sounds, I've been rocking along for the most part.

2. I just started playing my Paladin again, so I've been trying to update my auras. Maybe you can tell me if I'm missing something and there's an easier way to do this? -- I have hotkeyed macros for quickly switching to any of the four Paladin Seals, and four auras that trigger accordingly depending upon which Seal is active. But if you fat-finger some keys and accidentally re-cast a Seal that's already up, it will cancel the Seal leaving you without one at all. Back when Seals were simply Buffs, I had an Inverted aura set up that just listed all of the Seals separated by slashes. If I saw that effect, I knew I didn't have any Seal up and I'd simply re-cast one.

But now with the way Seals are selected via drop-down, one at a time only, I had to make five more auras to do this same thing. I made a 2nd, Inverted aura for each of the four Seals, and then made a 5th one that triggers when the other four Aura IDs all evaluate as true. That works, but is there no way to select multiple Seals (or Stances for that matter) in one aura so the entire thing can just be Inverted? Is there no way to Invert the logic of the combined Aura ID line itself, so the main aura triggers if the other Aura IDs evaluate as FALSE?

(I recalled that using a "!" before a buff in a macro would stop you from recasting that buff if it's already active. So fat-fingering Seals might be a moot point. But I think there are a few other ways that a Seal can be inadvertently or unwillingly removed, and I can think of some other non-Seal/Stance situations where this issue might come up and evaluating combined Aura IDs as false could be handy.)

3. Using 9 total aura slots just to track Seals or the lack thereof reminded me of an issue I'm having on my mage which is my main. I am just about completely out of character aura slots. When I need to add new effects I'm having to delete old ones to make room. Some are applicable to old content I don't plan on doing anyway, but some of the ones I'm deleting are ones I'd prefer to keep. Some I need because I still run into whatever situation I made them for, and some I want to keep because - even though I might have them turned off - I want to easily and quickly reference them later because I figured out how to track or show something nifty with them and I don't want to reinvent the wheel later.

So, would it be possible to add another couple of pages of character auras? I've added some auras for my main to the Global Effects pages, but sometimes I have an aura that triggers from the same base condition(s) but I want the specific conditions or resulting graphic to be different on my different characters. As it is now, I have to toggle a few similar auras on/off when I switch characters. --- I have this same issue with WoW macro slots. All of my main's character slots are used plus half of the common slots - just for one character. Mods have helped me alleviate the macro issue a bit, but I don't get the logic used in the design phase of a feature or mod that assumes a person will use far more common slots than character-specific ones. I find the exact opposite to be true.

4. Is there a way I can directly access/extract the new Wow textures outside of the game that I see have been added to the mod since the last time I updated (4.23.12)? I think they are numbers 55-176? Because unless I'm missing something with all of the new Strata, Blend Mode and Level/Sublevel options, the majority of those textures are not completely opaque even with the Opacity slider set to 100%. I prefer to start at 100% Opacity and work my way down from there if I deem I need to see through a texture and/or that it's still clearly visible based on its size, color and position, etc. I'd just screen capture them, but no matter where I turn I can see background objects through them which would make my editing work harder. A great example of this is WoW texture 114 which depicts the Paladin Judgment spell. At 100% it's still way too see-through. I'd love a raw version of that or at least one that was captured against a plain white or black background. I could then re-do the alpha mask myself. (I've created or modified 50+ textures in Photoshop that I use in the mod. I'm not an expert by any means, but I manage well enough.)

nice addon, really compliments ..... I was wondering if you could add an option to change the font to the timer, and make it compatible with "Masque" so I could also change the icons, it would be really wonderful, there are many really Skins beautiful. This implementation would be very pleasing to all users ....

Hello and good work .....

Hello to you,
I was already yours that your add-on I'm from the beginning and I find just perfect as it continues.

I note that the latest version of "4.23.30 Alpha 5"

The meter does not work anymore, for activations "My own time recherges" and "Action usable"

The problem just got the meter which Revien black or time does not change.

Sorry if the text does not mean anything, because I'm french. Google translation

Ah, I was hoping it would be straightforward to add some more character pages. But if all of them are numbered sequentially or whatever in the saved variables file and sliding in some more character ones would mess up everyone's current auras. . . ugh. And adding some sort of saved variables conversion utility is way more than I'd expect a free add-on author to even consider unless they were rewriting an entire app from the ground up. Hmm, would it be possible to add some more character pages after the global ones? (That's not an elegant solution I know.)

Thanks for the info and links on textures. I was able to extract all of the built-in ones so I can play with them. I had to find a BLP converter and download it, but it works. I just need to play with the command line parameters now to tweak the output files.

Yeah, I keep meaning to try the Curse updater - it would save me some time. As it is now, I update my 70+ add-ons manually. But I've had some bad experiences with updaters in the past, so I don't really trust them, especially with add-ons where I have custom-made files in the add-on's folders (like Power Auras) or for one where I've had to manually tweak something else in the LUA files. I'm slightly OCD in that regard.

I saw the "Humanoid" selection and just assumed it was for druids. I never even thought to select it on my Paladin and see what would happen. I'll check it out. But adding the ability at some point to allow multiple stances/seals in one aura could come in pretty handy.

Please Help!
Not able to install the addon. It will show up in my list of addons but /pa and /powa do not work. Not sure what to do. Also doesn't show up in the list of addons in the in-game interface menu. Also tried installing it the old way through interface/addons folder.
