DoTimerFanFix

Version: 2009-10-19.01

by: JMHammer [More]

This project is no longer necessary. Asheyla posted an update to DoTimer on 2010-02-02. Please get DoTimer from Asheyla's project page from now on:

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...2-DoTimer.html

====================
This is a fix for DoTimer by Asheyla:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5302-DoTimer.html

As soon as Asheyla posts an update to his addon, I will delete this project.

I'm sure that Asheyla will eventually get around to applying corrections to DoTimer. In the meanwhile, there are some annoying glitches with the current DoTimer, most of which have been caused by changes in World of Warcraft. I think it is important to note that most of the problems users are experiencing with DoTimer are a result of changes to WoW - not bugs in DoTimer.

1- The recent addition of three Shaman spells which cast four totems simultaneously.

2- The recent changes to Hunter trap shared-cooldown categories and cooldown timing.

3- "You are not in a party" spam. Many addons are causing this problem; DoTimer is one of them. Not everyone will experience this issue, but if you are, this FanFix version of DoTimer corrects it. If you still get the spam with this version of the addon, the problem is being caused by one of your other addons. You might want to grab this addon, which suppresses the problem:
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...APartyFix.html

4- A bug in DoTimer related to profile handling.

I wish to note that I did not generate any of the fixes for DoTimer. All four fixes were made by other people. I just applied all the fixes, tested them thoroughly to be sure they work and do not cause problems of their own, and then packaged them for upload here. I give credit to:
----------
**Farmbuyer of wowinterface.com for the Shaman totem fix and the profile fix.**
**cynergy of curse.com for the Hunter trap fix.**
**coani of wowinterface.com for the "You are not in a party" spam fix.**
----------

As soon as Asheyla posts an update to his addon, I will delete this project.

2009-10-19.01
Added the "You are not in a party" spam fix. Which I somehow neglected to apply to the earlier versions. Thank you, coani.

2009-10-14.01
1- Added a fix for profile management errors. Thank you, Farmbuyer.
2- Changed the .toc files as follows:
2a- Changed Interface to 30200 (applied to both .toc files for DoTimer and DoTimer_Options).
2b- Added a note about this "FanFix" version of DoTimer (applied to both .toc files for DoTimer and DoTimer_Options).
2c- Changed the version to 4.3.6f02 (applied to the .toc file for DoTimer only).

2009-10-05.01
First release.

Ok was wondering if it was a bug or was working as intended. Thx JM. i'll definately as Asheyla about it when he gets back.

JMHammer A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 309 Uploads: 1	I'm sorry, but I will not be adding any features to DoTimer. I am simply collecting bug fixes, applying them, testing them thoroughly to be sure the fixes don't cause problems of their own; and then posting the updated files as this project. I have no intention of "taking over" DoTimer – I'm simply making a fully-functional version available while Asheyla is on hiatus and not posting bug fixes in response to changes made to the game. I expect that Asheyla will return, eventually. He has been "counted out" many times in the past, and then come back just as DoTimer users were about to despair that the addon had been abandoned. So please post any feature requests at Asheyla's DoTimer page here: http://www.wowinterface.com/download....html#comments

JMHammer A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 309 Uploads: 1	Update for 3.3 on the way - if needed This project will be updated for 3.3 if any changes are needed. I have not yet had an opportunity to log in to run tests. I anticipate that I'll be able to do so no later than Monday, so look for an update on 14 Dec or 15 Dec - or a post here stating that an update isn't necessary, or that I can't provide needed repairs. Also please continue to follow the DoTimer project page, as hopefully Asheyla will reappear soon. ------------------------------ I am looking for a little help from someone who is raiding and PvPing: Please use the latest version of DoTimer (from this project, DoTimerFanFix) while in a group and while in a battleground (perhaps in Wintergrasp, too). Then please report here if you receive "You are not in a party" spam or if undesirable timers appear outside of your control. I will try to run this test myself, but I would like to get input from others as I have not experienced this error myself when I have performed testing in the past.

JMHammer A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 309 Uploads: 1	Seems OK with 3.3 The testing I've performed so far has not generated any problems. So to the best of my ability to determine, the 2009-10-19.01 version of DoTimerFanFix is working fine with the WoW 3.3 patch. I therefore will not be issuing an update at this time. Remember to check the box to enable "Load Out Of Date Addons" at the addon management window of the character selection screen. I did only the most minimal testing in groups, so it is possible that something related to being in a group will need to be addressed. If you notice a problem with 2009-10-19.01, please post it here.

Yes. That's described on the "Addon Info" tab of this project. And one of the screenshots shows a Shaman with four totems down using one of those spells, with DoTimer correctly displaying a timer for each of the four totems.

Miletus A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 10 Uploads: 0	Move anchor? Thanks for keeping this alive; I've been using DoTimer for a year or so and it helps my healing so much. I recently changed some raid frames and need to move my cooldown anchor to one side. I tried unchecking the "Locked" box under Cooldowns Anchor but was still unable to move the anchor. Is there another setting somewhere?

It's possible that you have your cooldown timers appearing under a different anchor. Try unlocking your other anchors - one of them is going to be the anchor you are attempting to move.

You might find it a good practice to trip a few cooldowns so that some timers are running under the anchor you wish to move. I find that having live, active timers makes it easier to position anchors - much better than using the Preview function.

I have never seen that error message myself. Unless i can replicate it, there is nothing I can do to repair it - if there is, in fact, a problem with the DoTimer code. Please make your report on Asheyla's DoTimer page. I know he logged in just a day or two ago, so hopefully he'll be back with a full update of his own soon, and I can shut down this maintenance project. http://www.wowinterface.com/download...2-DoTimer.html

I'm not 100% sure sure when it was triggered, but i think it was when i was in a party and it tried to track multiple party buffs (from blessings)... not sure tho, ill let you know if it happens again

Oh, and i noticed that "You are not in a party"- bug has enveloped into "You are not in a raid group"
