TellMeWhen



Join the official TellMeWhen Discord! https://discord.gg/NH7RmcP Ask questions, share configuration, or just hang out.

TellMeWhen is a WoW addon that provides visual, auditory, and textual notifications about cooldowns, buffs, and pretty much every other element of combat. TellMeWhen is...

Flexible

Icons can track any of the following things:

  • Cooldowns
  • Buffs/Debuffs
  • Reactive abilities
  • Multi-state abilities
  • Temporary weapon enchants
  • Totems/Wild mushrooms/Ghouls/Lightwell
  • Rune cooldowns
  • Internal cooldowns
  • Others' cooldowns
  • Diminishing returns
  • Spell casts
  • Loss of Control effects
  • ...And any combination of over 110 other things with easy-to-use conditions.

Customizable
  • Icons can be set to show or hide based on the status of their basic element and their usability based on range, duration, stacks, and resources.
  • All icons can show the standard cooldown animation to display their status, and are compatible with OmniCC.
  • There are over 110 conditions that can be configured to make an icon show only under very specific or very general circumstances.
  • You can set a sound to play when important attributes of an icon change.
  • You can also set text to be announced/displayed when an icon's attributes change.
  • Icons can show at different transparency levels based upon the usability/existence of what they are checking.
  • Icons can show status bars on top of them, indicating the required resources and their remaining cooldown/duration in a different way.
  • Icons can be skinned with Masque (formerly ButtonFacade).


Instructions

To lock and unlock TellMeWhen, type "/tmw" or "/tellmewhen".

When you first log in with TellMeWhen installed, you will see one group of four icons in the center of your screen. To begin using TellMeWhen, right-click on one of these icons, and the icon editor will appear. You need to select an icon type from the dropdown menu and enable the icon, and then configure the icon to suit your needs based on the settings that are available. An explanation of what most settings do can be found in the tooltip displayed when you mouse over a setting.

You can also drag spells from your spellbook, your pet's spellbook, or items from your inventory to quickly set up a cooldown icon for that spell/item. Icons can be spatially manipulated by holding down the right mouse button and dragging them around. When they are dropped on another icon, a menu will appear asking you what you want to do with the icon - Options include Move, Copy, and Swap.

General settings can be accessed via '/tmw options', the Blizzard interface options, or the 'Group Settings' tab of the icon editor.

All available slash commands are:
  • '/tmw' - Toggles TellMeWhen between locked (functional) or unlocked (configuration) states.
  • '/tmw options' - Opens the general settings configuration for TellMeWhen.
  • '/tmw profile "Profile Name"' - Loads a TellMeWhen profile. Profile name is case sensitive, and must be quoted if it contains spaces. (E.g. '/tmw profile "Cybeloras - Aerie Peak"').
  • '/tmw enable global|profile groupID iconID' - Enables the specified group or icon (E.g. '/tmw enable 2 4' or '/tmw enable global 3').
  • '/tmw disable global|profile groupID iconID' - Disables the specified group or icon (E.g. '/tmw disable profile 2 4' or '/tmw disable 3').
  • '/tmw toggle global|profile groupID iconID' - Toggles the specified group or icon between enabled and disabled (E.g. '/tmw toggle global 2 4' or '/tmw toggle profile 3').
  • '/tmw cpu' - Enables and displays a UI for measurements of icon performance. This is an advanced feature; no guidance on reading the data will be offered.

Conditions

Conditions are a very powerful feature of TellMeWhen that allow you to narrow the circumstances under which an icon or group should show. To configure conditions for an icon, click the condition tab on the Icon Editor. Conditions can check a wide variety of things, and I recommend that you explore the condition type menu to see what is available. You can add multiple conditions to an icon, and you can group different conditions together for use with the Boolean operators AND and OR by clicking the parenthesis between each condition.

Conditions are also used for other purposes throughout TellMeWhen.

Meta icons

Meta icons are one other special feature of TellMeWhen that makes it so powerful and versatile. Meta icons allow you to specify a list of other icons to check within the meta icon, allowing you to have a large number of icons for different situations show in the same location on your screen. By chaining meta icons together

Groups

All TellMeWhen icons belong to a parent group. Each of these groups have many settings; some affect their appearance and size, while other affect their functionality. The options for a group can be accessed by typing "/tmw options", or by clicking the group settings tab on the icon editor. Groups can also have conditions set to govern when they are shown and hidden - accessed through the Group Conditions tab of the icon editor, they are configured exactly the same way as icon conditions.


Troubleshooting

PLEASE DIRECT ALL FEEDBACK/BUGS/SUGGESTIONS HERE
  • Make sure that TellMeWhen is not in configuration mode. Type '/tmw' to toggle configuration mode on and off.
  • The most common problem people encounter is caused by not entering the name correctly during configuration. Make sure you enter names EXACTLY as they are named when you mouse over them. For buffs this is often different from the ability/totem/trinket/enchant/talent which casts the buff, so be sure to check. Known buffs and debuffs are shown as a dark purple or a warrior brown color in the suggestion list.
  • If the name of the ability does not work properly, use the SpellID. SpellIDs can be found by looking at the suggestion list that pops up as you begin typing in the name, or by finding the ability on a site such as Wowhead. The spellID is in the url, for example: www.wowhead.com/spell=53351
  • Check the settings of the icon's group.
  • Check the icon's settings in the other tabs of the icon editor.

Thanks for the update. I got Bane of Doom/HAvoc working, but Conflagrate & Improved Soul Fire are not showing up.
What happened to the "clock animation"? Now I can only see the seconds left; there used to be an animation like a little analog clock, which showed me how much time was left.

Doesn't work at all in russian client. The addon just hangs with this error message:
Message: Interface\AddOns\TellMeWhen\TellMeWhen.lua:899: Usage: GetItemCooldown(itemID)
Time: 10/17/10 15:30:02
Count: 813
Stack: [C]: in function `GetItemCooldown'
Interface\AddOns\TellMeWhen\TellMeWhen.lua:899: in function <Interface\AddOns\TellMeWhen\TellMeWhen.lua:897>

Locals: (*temporary) = nil

I'v reistalled it completely, deleted the setting in savedvariables folder and still getting this same error when I'm locking the frames.
Version 1.2.5 works just fine in russian client except that it does not recognize mage's mana gem item.

First of all thanks for the upgrade. Couldn't live without it.

I have a slight problem with cooldown icons on my warrior.
I'm using the show when Unusable option for cooldown icons I created but I only want to show the buttons when on cooldown.
Atm it shows the buttons also when I have not enough rage to use them. For the time being I use the Show only in combat to counter the problem but there are some cooldowns I'd like to track outside of combat as well.
I'd love you if you fixed this.
Also all cooldown icons show up in every Global CD. is there a way to fix that too ?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work

it was sort of working in 1.3.1 where it would show the deadweight icon UNTIL you got the buff the first time but now it doesn't work at all.

Oh wait, I was using the TellMeWhen Cataclysm version for 1.3.1

These different versions of the same mod are getting confusing.

Okay, spell # 85114 works but typing in 'Improved Soul Fire' does not.

Buffs/debuffs might not be working for frost mages

Installed latest release. Can't manage to get Brain Freeze, Fingers of Frost, and other buffs working. First, let me confirm...Fingers of Frost is should be configured as follows:

Name: Fingers of Frost
Icon Type: Buff/Debuff
Unit to Watch: Player

That's correct, isn't it?

As far as Brain Freeze goes, I know it used to appear as Fireball! in the combat log, but now I see it as Brain Freeze.

Love the addon and would be happy to pay for it if it worked for me. Please help.

Same as the previous poster, seems 1.3.3 doesn't really work at all. I downgraded to 1.3.2a, and things work fine again.

After updating to new version, my icons with multiple debuffs listed using semicolon no longer seem to be working (they just stay showing locked and don't detect debuffs).

EDIT: After removing the multiples, the icon doesn't work still. Still trying to figure out why some of them are not working. I've tried 'clear settings' and re-setting up rules, but don't seem to be working.

EDIT2: OK, after fiddling with it, I can eventually get it to behave once I remove the multiple debuffs. I can then reproduce the bug by adding back in at least one more spell. Once I do it becomes a deadweight icon and stays present when you lock the addon and does nothing.

Continued Fanupdate to TellMeWhen is at

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...Cataclysm.html


So far on Cata Beta 4.0.3, it looks very solid.


Thanks to all authors who have made continued maintenance on this very useful game tool. Someday, Blizzard will immortalize this functionality in their base feature set.

Sorry I haven't been as active recently. I haven't been playing WoW, so TellMeWhen hasn't gotten love either.

If you are a competent coder and would like to take over this addon to keep it up-to-date going into Cata drop me a line. I'm not sure I'll still be playing when that comes out.


That said I wouldn't want the improvments I've been working on to go to waste. I've uploaded the 1.2.5beta version to the Curse repository. Keep in mind it's a beta so it's not fully tested and there are probably bugs in the new features.

request feature = able to save settings by talent,

example, i play, unholy dk pve dps, unholy dk pvp, blood tank, and blood pve dps. i respec 1-2 times per day. bit annoying to have to adjust tmw every time i respec.

by difference example.
unholy tree = pve, i have full necrosis, pvp i dont have it at all(and have desecration wich pve doesnt have)

blood tank dont have Dancing rune weapon, have runetap
blood pve dps, have dancing rune weapon, dont have runetap.

so a have and have not, per tree, should be enought to tell wich "profile" to use for tmw. cheers.
