AnnoyingBuffReminder  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.14

Note: This AddOn is not currently being updated. It should still work overall (probably until Cataclysm changes a lot of things). Unfortunately I have not been playing WoW as regularly and I do not have the time to update my AddOns. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].

This AddOn displays an annoying reminder to use class buffs, armor spells, shouts, aspects, blessings, and Victory Rush.

Specifically, it will display an annoying popup on your screen (you can drag it with the mouse) if you do not have an appropriate spell up:
* Death Knight: Any presence, Horn of Winter, Bone Shield
* Druid: Mark/Gift of the Wild, Thorns, Omen of Clarity
* Hunter: Any Aspect, Trueshot Aura
* Mage: Any Armor spell, Arcane Intellect/Brilliance, Amplify/Dampen Magic
* Paladin: Any aura (Crusader while mounted), any blessing, any seal, Righteous Fury, Sacred Shield
* Priest: Inner Fire, Power Word/Prayer of Fortitude, Divine/Prayer of Spirit, Shadow Protection
* Rogue: Hunger for Blood
* Shaman: Any Shield spell, and weapon enchants
* Warlock: Any Skin/Armor spell, Soul Link, Demonic Sacrifice, Detect Invisibility
* Warrior: Battle Shout or Commanding Shout, Victory Rush

This AddOn will work with the English, French, German, and Spanish versions of WoW.

There are several options:
* /abr pvp/bg to remind while in a battleground/arena.
* /abr icons to toggle display of spell icons.
* /abr lock|unlock to toggle window locking and click-through.
* /abr center to reset window position to center of screen.
* /abr <spell> to toggle reminders for the following optional spells:
** battle|battleshout|bs - Battle Shout
** command|commandingshout|cs - Commanding Shout
** anyshout|shout - Any Shout
** vr|victory|rush - Victory Rush (after each kill; on by default)
** amp|amplify - Amplify Magic
** damp|dampen - Dampen Magic
** thorns - Thorns
** omen|clarity|ooc - Omen of Clarity
** soul|link|soullink - Soul Link
** detect|invis - Detect Invisibility
** demon|sacrifice - Demonic Sacrifice
** spellstone|firestone|stone - Spellstone or Firestone weapon buff
** tsa|trueshot - Trueshot Aura
** crusader|ca - Crusader Aura (when mounted)
** fury|righteous|righteousfury|rf - Righteous Fury
** s|seal - Any Seal spell
** sacred|sacredshield - Sacred Shield
** shield|shieldspell - Shaman shield spells (on by default)
** divine|spirit - Divine Spirit
** shadow|shadowprot - Shadow Protection
** hungerforblood|hunger|hfb - Hunger for Blood
** bone|shield|boneshield - Bone Shield
** horn|winter|how - Horn of Winter
** unholy|blight|unholyblight|ub - Unholy Blight

All settings are saved across sessions, except for Warrior shout preference, since using this depends on whether you have two warriors in your party.

It will only annoy you if you have more than 50% mana or 10 rage, are not mounted, not flying, not in a capital city, and not mind controlled. It will also not bug you if you are less than level 15. It won't remind you in battlegrounds/arenas unless you tell it to. For some short-term buffs, and buffs that require rage/energy/runes to keep up, the reminder will only show up when in combat.

The popup should appear in the situations when you would want the buff up. No configuration is necessary, unless you want to also enable reminders for optional spells.

I hope you find this mod useful. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

=== Version history: ===

AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.14 (WoW 3.2.2):
* Added optional spell icons. Be default, when a reminder is shown, it will be shown with an icon for a relevant spell, to help you quickly identify the buff to cast.
** To toggle display of spell icons, type "/abr icons"
* Added support for Death Knight presences.

AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.13 (WoW 3.1.2):
* Added support for the Paladin spell Sacred Shield: Type "/abr sacred" and you will be reminded to cast Sacred Shield on yourself when in combat. Note that this will only look for Sacred Shield on yourself; this mod is not designed to watch buffs on other players.
* Added a toggle to disable the Victory Rush reminders: Type "/abr vr" or "/abr victory" or "/abr rush" to disable or re-enable these reminders.

AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.12 (WoW 3.1.1):
* Updated Unholy Blight reminder to only show when you have enough runic power.
* Fixed a bug that would remind certain classes, especially Hunters, to cast buffs they already had.
* Fixed a bug that would remind you to cast a Warrior shout even when someone else had a shout on you.
* Added a command ("/abr anyshout") to remind you to cast any shout (this lets you revert to the default behavior after setting it to remind to you cast a specific shout).

AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.11 (WoW 3.1.0):
* Changed Death Knight Horn of Winter reminder to not show if Strength of Earth is present on the player, since they do not stack.
* Changed self-buff detection method to use new 3.1 return values.

AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.10 (WoW 3.0.9):
* Added optional reminder for a Death Knight's Unholy Blight spell in combat, toggleable by /abr unholyblight or /abr ub.
* Changed Death Knight Horn of Winter reminder to be optional. To toggle it use /abr hornofwinter or /abr how.
* Improved cooldown detection to no longer only detect cooldowns of spells on an action bar.

* Added recognition of Dalaran Intellect.
* Updated Death Knight reminder for Horn of Winter, to not remind while the cooldown is active.

AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.8 (WoW 3.0.3):
* Fixed bug where you would be reminded to cast a buff, like PW:Fortitude, if someone else had cast it on you. For real this time!

AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.7 (WoW 3.0.3):
* Added recognition of Dalaran Brilliance.
* Fixed bug with Druid buff reminders.
* Fixed bug with Hunter aspect reminders.
* Fixed bug with Paladin Crusader Aura reminder.

AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.6 (WoW 3.0.3):
* Added command to reset window position to center of screen: "/abr center"
* Added support for Warlock weapon enchantment via Spellstones and Firestones: Type "/abr stone" and you will be reminded to keep your weapon buffed while you are in combat.

* Added Spanish localization.
* Fixed support for Soul Link (the spell is technically cast on you by your demon).

* Improved the code that checks Victory Rush and Bone Shield cooldowns.

Thanks for ghost wolf support! It seems to work fine with the French client .

cheadstina: I think that for some reason the addon doesn't work below level 15. Also I have the feeling it doesn't work in combat, but I might be wrong.

I'm glad ghost wolf support works well.

The mod doesn't work below level 15, so that it won't pop up for bank/auction alts.

Shaman weapon enchant detection should work all the time. Sometimes it may seem like the mod only works in combat, because it only checks your buffs when your mana level changes, so it does not have to use memory and processing time to constantly scan them. Also, shaman off-hand weapon enchant detection is not yet localized.

Thanks a lot for the update with optional shaman shields (and detect invis, as I also play a warlock.)

Ahh... That's why I get the "Cast an armor!" message just one second too late when I cast my warlock's horse...

Nice addon really but for shamans the 50% mana limit is just silly since water shield cost after patch 2.3 is exactly 0 so you'll want it on at all times.

Thanks for the feedback. The 50% threshold was put in before 2.3. Unfortunately the mod uses one threshold for all spells. Feel free to change this though: Open AnnoyingBuffReminder.lua in a text editor.

Look for this line near the bottom (line 537):
if (showABR and (UnitMana("player") * 100 / UnitManaMax("player") >= 50)) then

and change it to (example: 10%):
if (showABR and (UnitMana("player") * 100 / UnitManaMax("player") >= 10)) then

Now this is annoying

The mod needs to check for the buff on the island (which gives both Int and Sta) as it doesn't stack. Being unable to get rid of the "Need Intellect Buff" reminder is, well, annoying.

Good point. Let me add this to the latest version and try to get it out today or tomorrow.

The recently posted v2.1 has a bug/design issue.

On a couple of level 70 characters (none were Paladins), the apparent debug text "player mounted or something" appeared in the chat window sometimes. Was not in need of a buff it normally tracks on those characters, either.

More seriously, on a 49 Hunter (not mounted) in a city, that also occurred. But after 5 minutes or so--remaining unmounted in the city--Chat1 was spammed continually with that sentence, filling the window.

Back to v2.0 here; hope you can resolve it.

Whoops! Totally my bad on that one, I removed most of the debugging code but I left one print statement in. It's fixed in 2.2, released just now.

This line throws an error:
if (buffName and string.match(buffName, ABR_LOCALE.regexAura
and buffName ~= ABR_LOCALE.crusaderAura)) then
I corrected it to this and it seems to work properly:
if (buffName and string.match(buffName, ABR_LOCALE.regexAura)
and buffName ~= ABR_LOCALE.crusaderAura) then
Also, can you make the Crusader Aura check a toggle? Sometimes I'm slumming and don't need to switch to a real aura, particularly if I'm riding around killing one mob at a time and remounting.

Paladin Seals

Can you add paladin seals?....rather annoying when I try to judge, only to realize my seal expired...kinda like being at the cash register, only to realize you forgot your wallet.

I just loaded it, it is running...did /abr to make sure...Pally went out in terrokar forest, killed moths...with crusader aura up the entire time, no reminder to change aura. Turned off Righteous Fury, no reminder....works fine on the priest, shammy and lock. I also moved everything out of the WoW directory ecept for this add-on (still in the add-ons directory) and renamed my WTF folder, to isolate this add-on.

Thanks for the Paladin feedback and fixes; I don't have a high-level Paladin to test with. I'll check out the code, try to fix it, and see what I can do about Seals in the next version.
