description

Tracksw automatically switches your active tracking spell depending on
nearby nodes contained in GatherMate (which is a dependency of Tracksw).

Tracksw has several configurable parameters in order to accommodate
different mount speeds / play styles. It is possible to change the range
at which it 'detects' nodes, how fast it updates and it is possible to
define an angle in front of the player in which it scans (for example
avoiding changing tracking due to a node not in the direct path of the
player).

Because changing the active tracking triggers the global cooldown, it is
possible to switch only once 1.5seconds. In order to work 'around' this
Tracksw has a cluster setting - any node within that range from the
node that triggered a tracking switch will not be considered for a
switch and Tracksw switches to the Tracking with the highes priority
(this is not configurable atm. and is set to Herbs > Minerals > Fish >
Treasure, mainly because Herbs are generally harder to spot). If a new
tracking switch is triggered while the player is on global cooldown from
a previous switch - the new switch is deferred to the moment the global
cooldown ends.

usage

The Tracksw configuration window can be accessed with the /tsw slash
command.

NOTE:
- Tracksw had only limited testing on a 280% speed mount.
- The latest version can be always found at WowAce.
