SpellAlerter  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.03
by: kollektiv [More]

What it does

SpellAlerter is a basic spell alert mod based off the original SpellAlert mod. See the images for the different alert types you can setup.

Features

  • Add any spell and ability you want to be alerted to
  • Three filters: Enemy Spellcasts, Enemy Buffs, and Friendly Debuffs
  • Additional filtering for players only (reduces spam from things such as Mirror Image)
  • Each alert can have its own sound play. It's similar to making triggers in MSBT but a lot more simplified.
  • Optional minimap icon
  • Data broker plugin
  • All options are inside the GUI. Type /sa or /spellalerter to access them.

Localization

It should work with all language clients. It is currently only localized in English and Simplified Chinese. If you'd like to help translate see the Locales.lua file.

Bug Reports and Feature Requests

Please post them in the comments.

Changelog

2.03
  • Added Simplified Chinese translations
  • Localization is now done through CurseForge
  • Fixed bug with Target Only option

2.02
  • The arrow will now point to the left if the source's target is the same as the source
  • Added an option to filter players on spell casts. Helps reduce spam (ex. Frost Bolts from mirror images)
  • Added an option to toggle class colors on names. This is only 100% reliable in arenas
  • Added an option to select text font
  • Added an option to replace player name with any word
  • Added an option to toggle showing targets. Select between arrow model and text
  • Added an option to play a sound for each spell. Similiar to making MSBT triggers.
  • Added a list for spell cast ignores. These are spells you don't want showing targets (ex. Howl of Terror).
  • Added verifying and case formatting for list additions
  • Added a profile system
  • Added toggable minimap icon
  • Added localization support
  • Removed creating new anchors. I've never seen anyone use this.
  • Added a Sounds.lua file. Adding sounds is very easy. Open Sounds.lua and follow the instructions carefully.
  • Added Ace3 libraries
  • Added LibDBIcon-1.0 library
  • Added LibDataBroker-1.1 library - Hence there's support for LDB launcher display addons
  • Added LibSharedMedia-3.0 library
  • Added !ClassColors support
  • Created a FauxScrollFrame AceGUI widget for 'select' types in options

For the most recent changes, see the addon page. For a compilation of the all the changes, see the Changelog file in the zip.

help

hello, it looks really useful addon, but i cant get it working:/.
i needed to remove all default spellcasts listed.
and tryed with spell ID to add some specific spell i need to be informed when casted.
Spell IDs are ok, the addon identify it correctly, but advice system not works with it. No idea why, the interface is simple but limited, cant do anything with an issue like this.
Any idea how/if i can solve it?
spells are divine shield for example (ID:642). divine protection etc. or some bosses spells too (specific target spell ofc), using wowhead for the IDs. other example, not tested : Ionar (HoL) boss, static overload (heroic) ID: 59795.

another info: it works in group? can show spellcasting on other party members?

I don't know what you mean by 'advice system'. Could you elaborate more?

show on

Would it be possible to add an option for only showing spells targeting myself/the player? I was really surprised this option wasn't already build in. It definitely would make spellalerter close to perfect

Was thinking this myself. It can be a bit spammy in bgs.

i tryed it a little bit and it should work (just no option in the gui, to change back you have to modify the code again)

change (line 595+ in SpellAlert.lua)
Code:
	if SpellCastEvents[eventtype] and band(srcFlags, COMBATLOG_HOSTILE) == COMBATLOG_HOSTILE and SpellCasts[spellName] then
		if profile.TargetOnly and band(srcFlags,COMBATLOG_TARGET) ~= COMBATLOG_TARGET then return end
		if profile.SpellCastsPlayersOnly and band(COMBATLOG_PLAYER,srcFlags) ~= COMBATLOG_PLAYER then return end
		self:FormatInfo(match(srcName,"[^-]*"),spellName,select(3,GetSpellInfo(spellID)),SpellCasts[spellName].Sound,SPELLCASTS,unpack(colors[SpellCasts[spellName].Color]))
to
Code:
	if SpellCastEvents[eventtype] and band(srcFlags, COMBATLOG_HOSTILE) == COMBATLOG_HOSTILE and SpellCasts[spellName] then
		if profile.TargetOnly and band(srcFlags,COMBATLOG_TARGET) ~= COMBATLOG_TARGET then return end
		if profile.SpellCastsPlayersOnly and band(COMBATLOG_PLAYER,srcFlags) ~= COMBATLOG_PLAYER then return end
		local playerName = UnitName("player");
		if dstName ~= playerName then return end
		self:FormatInfo(match(srcName,"[^-]*"),spellName,select(3,GetSpellInfo(spellID)),SpellCasts[spellName].Sound,SPELLCASTS,unpack(colors[SpellCasts[spellName].Color]))
