Hermes  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v2.3.2
by: inthedrops [More]

Hermes
Hermes tracks your raid's cooldowns, and displays them using configurable buttons or bars. What's unique about Hermes is it's ability to tell you who "does" and "does not" have a particular cooldown available. If you're a raid leader, healer, tank or anyone who has to coordinate cooldowns, you'll appreciate the approach Hermes takes.

Hermes also tracks cooldowns of non Hermes users using it's Spell Monitor feature.

Release v2.3 Notes
This release includes significant changes since v2.2.
If upgrading from v2.2 or earlier, you will lose your existing container setup. Please visit the archived history page for full release notes.

Tutorial Videos (updated for v2.3)

Walkthrough: GridButtons view
Walkthrough: CooldownBars view
Walkthrough: Using the GridBars view to monitor Raid Cooldowns

Feature Chart

v2.3.2 (07/10/2011)
Added two new views:
* Bars view: This view is nearly identical to GridBars, but with no need need to specify the number of bars. The advantage is having no wasted screenspace. The disadvantage is slighly fewer layout options.
* Logger view: This acts like a mini chat frame window where spell usage and availability changes are written. It can be used as a reference to determine who is using spells at appropriate times.

Fixed bug:
* Sometimes bars would show transparent when they weren't supposed to.

v2.3 (07.06.2011)

Major Feature Summary
* Merge spells capability (many spells can be treated as one)
* Better out of the box Spell Monitor support (cooldowns, adjustments, and requirements are provided by Hermes.)
* Enable/disable containers (hide containers you don't need until later)
* Filter players (ignore groups 6-8, offline players, etc.)
* Any given spell can now exist in multiple containers (or none at all).
* Significantly more bar configuration options.
* Proper ButtonFacade implementation (with Masque support as well).
* Improved configuration screens.
* Added Duration Timer for CooldownBars and GridBars views.
* Additional default spells added.
* UI Architecture overhaul (see below)

UI Architecture Changes
* The old UI has been replaced by the new UI, affectionately named "UI".
* Drag and Drop has been removed. Spells are now ordered via the "Spells" configuration tab of each container.
* Spells are no longer limited to a single container, nor are they required to exist in any containers. This is also configured in the "Spells" configuration tab of each container.
* Containers now have views. Views control how a container displays itself. Each view has it's own configuration settings.
* A Container only has one active view, but you can change it's view at any time. Change the view in the "Container" tab of a container.
* The three views available today are:
** CooldownBars: This is a direct replacement for "LightUI". If you were a fan of LightUI, this is the view you'll want to use.
** GridButtons: This is the default button style view that current users are familiar with. Spells are arranged automatically via an invisible grid.
** GridBars: A highly customizable spell bar view, spells are arranged automatically via an invisible grid.

Note: If you need the old UI, you can find it in the Hermes folder under a separate folder called Hermes-LegacyUI. Just move this folder into your addons folder, and enable the addon in the Blizzard addon list.

Hermes v2.2

* Compatibility updates for Firelands, 4.2.
* Spell Monitor: Fixed bug with Soulstones not tracking when used to res dead player.
* Spell Monitor: Last Stand and Rallying Cry will now trigger each other when one or the other is used.
* DefaultUI: The "Lock Containers" option now also locks all drag and drop capability. To enable dragging again, you need to unlock the containers. The purpose of this change is to be able to click through buttons/bars and select mobs behind them. I don't think anyone is ever dragging while in combat!
* DefaultUI: Added option to control background color of bars on cooldown (Bars Display only).
* DefaultUI: Added option to enable/disable the tooltip per container (enabled by default).
* DefaultUI: Fixed mysterious dissapearing icons from nameplates.
* DefaultUI: Fixed bug where creating new containers, renaming containers, or various other tasks resulted in Lua error.

Hermes v2.1

* Converted time format for bars from Seconds to HH:MM:SS.
* Hermes version now exposed through options window (changed version schema as a result)
* Small performance improvements
* Updated German translation.

If you use Button style containers, there's a bug in v2.2 you might want to fix until I push another release. The issue is that any prior timer on the button won't go away when it's supposed to sometimes.

Open \AddOns\Hermes\DefaultUI\DefaultUI.lua

Locate line 3454 and change:

Code:
if not min_time then
to:

Code:
if min_time and min_time > 2 then

DG bug

I goofed up with the defaults for Divine Guardian. I accidentally used the spell id for the base cooldown. So if you see a cooldown for DG that's almost 20 hours long (70940 seconds) it's my mistake!

I'll fix this bug and any other bugs reported in a couple days. In the mean time, you can fix it yourself by just going to the Configuration for the spell and setting the Base Cooldown to 180 instead of 70940.

Inthedrops,

Hey man! A guildy (Kihra, Windrunner) pointed me to this addon and I have to say it's simply amazing. I've been using orA3 to track CD's and I love being able to track off CD/active ones as well.

I have a couple questions and comments though, and I'll leave a screenshot of the way I'm using it so you can take it into context.

1. Is it possible to sort the lists with spells with the least CD remaining being on top? And then defaulting to the way you have spells sorted. For example:
Druid1 - Tranquility (active)
Druid2 - Tranquility (off CD)
Priest1 - Divine Hymm (off CD)
Druid3 - Tranquility (3m CD)
etcetc

2. Can you add the talents for the extra duration Resto Shaman totems?
http://www.wowhead.com/spell=16222
I just changed my metadata to reflect this talent, as it's a talent that is usually mandatory for Resto Shams, but I've ran into a couple PUG shammies that don't use the talent. Or builds that only use 1/2.

This is the screenshot, so you can see what I mean about wanting the lists to sort: http://i.imgur.com/HMuSJ.jpg
It's not a raid shot, but didn't think about taking one in raid last night.

First column lists Tranq, D-Hymm, AM, DG, etc
Second column lists PS, HoS, etc
Third is BRs
Fourth is mana CDs.. Tide, Innervates, HoH

Thanks man. I know my raid leader and healer leader are now using this as well, and me and my OCD self of course has to use it. Raid leading for 5 some odd years will do that to you.

Thanks unruly. I'm not sure why your sort order was wrong. There was a bug in an older version where it was wrong but that was fixed since. While I'm happy that your problem went away after a reinstall, there's nothing I can think of that should have caused it to begin with.

In regard to Totemic Focus, you're talking about the metadata value called "duration" right? Used for the extra duration animation? There's currently nothing baked into Hermes that dynamically calculates a duration based on talents. It's a newer feature that was originally intended to be a hidden feature but I just decided to expose it in a minimal way. So, currently nothing can be done to dynamically figure out the metadata duration based on talents. Sorry!

If enough requests come up, I may integrate metadata into talents as well, or just add a "duration" value directly into the same area as where you set the Base Cooldown for Spell Monitor data.

One final note for you and others using Hermes in random 5 mans, I know for a fact that it won't work correctly for cross realm players. It's for the same reason that it doesn't work in Battlegrounds and I have a ticket for it but it's low priority. Hermes main application is raiding.

I don't raid, but i'd love to be able to use an addon like this in arena for me and my teammates to be able to track. I tried to enable party mode and hope that worked in an arena since it technically is a party, but it didn't.

There any remote chance of the addon being updated with arena functionality? Doesn't seem like it'd be a big deal compared to the amount of tracking in a 25m raid.

Seriously doubt he cares. He just removed the addon altogether from curse it seems. It would be nice of him to let someone else continue development.

Requoting Inthedrops' original post from 2011.07.20 (almost 4 months ago)

I am seeking an author to take over Hermes support. I will provide as much support as needed from a consulting or "how does this work?" perspective, but no actual coding.

Please post here or send me a PM if you're serious about taking over Hermes. It's a considerably sized addon with many thousands of lines of code. However, it's pretty stable right now.

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/hermes/
Just a heads up so you know the author was trying to find someone to take over his project

Someone also posted this thread about it: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=42140

Those massive update-comm bugs listed below might also be causing full WoW crashes in 4.3. Not 100% verifiable yet (there is a single other mod here that has exhibited the same behavior), but is a high likelihood.

For those who want something similar to use in the meantime that is still supported/updated, the alpha versions of oRA3 work without errors currently.

I'd love an update for this addon. There is a significant difference compared to Ora3. Instead of showing the cooldowns that have passed, it shows all cooldown resources that are available.
The addon still works, but some bugs still happen. If I am in a LFR should I turn it off before go becouse my fps drops.

I've got a working 5.0 version of this addon running. It's still got a lot of work to do around cleaning up removed abilities, adding in new abilities, and cleaning up the requirements for specializations and talents.

However, I will continue to update the addon, because it continues to be a huge benefit to many raiders.

Please visit it's project site at: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/hermes

Wish me luck on breathing some life back in to this great addon.
