TellMeWhen   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
TellMeWhen provides a flexible system of icons for displaying vital information (and only vital information) about cooldowns, buffs, debuffs, and reactive abilities... always in a consistent place on your screen.

Some examples of things you can do with TellMeWhen:
  • Display an icon when a clearcasting buff procs
  • Display an icon when an ability or boost trinket is finished cooling down and is ready to use
  • A death knight could have icons appear to show when Freezing Fog procs, when Rune Strike is usable, and when Horn of Winter drops and needs to be refreshed
  • A mage could have a Polymorph icon appear when the mob they've set to focus becomes unsheeped
  • A rogue could monitor their own stack of Deadly Poison on a mob, and have icons appear when they need to reapply poisons to their weapons

You choose which spells, abilities, items, buffs, and debuffs TellMeWhen shows. Cooldown icons can be shown when an ability/item is either usable or is unusable. Buff/debuff icons can be shown when the buff/debuff is either present or is absent. Icons can be set to only show in combat. Icons can show timers on cooldowns and (de)buffs. Compatible with OmniCC for text display of time remaining.


New in the latest version (1.1.2)
  • Updated for WoW 3.1
  • Now works with vehicles
  • Fixed a problem with buff charges not showing as consumed
  • Icons for reactive abilities will no longer show when the abilities are still on cooldown
  • Cooldown icons should now be more responsive

Instructions

General options are available in the Blizzard interface options menu. You can type "/tellmewhen" or "/tmw" to lock/unlock the addon. To configure individual icons, right click them when unlocked. When you're finished and ready to play, enable the icons by locking the addon.

For buffs and debuffs not in your spellbook, TellMeWhen will at first show a pocketwatch icon to indicate that it is waiting to learn the texture for the buff/debuff. The icon will have the correct texture after you encounter the buff/debuff while playing.

Remember that buffs and debuffs sometimes have different names than the items and abilities that provide them. For example, the Death Knight ability Icy Touch applies a DoT called Frost Fever.


Features planned for future versions
  • Settings for icon opacity
  • Allow single icons to check multiple buffs/debuffs
  • Support for dragging spells/items onto icons

I am having trouble setting up this mod.

Let say I want to set up so that the first button will show (100% op) when I dont have the buff Horn of Winter on the player. How would I go setting this up?

I input the spell name "Horn of Winter" as spell to track, select buff/debuff, select buff, target is unit to watch, show when is absent on target, and enable

but no matter if I have the buff or not, the button still show (100%)

I must've missed something somewhere...

Water Elemental Freeze?

Is there any way to make TellMeWhen check if my Water Elemental's Freeze is usable?
Entering "Freeze" as the name of the ability doesn't seem to work.
I would love to use this, but unless I can get it to show every cooldown I need, I might just as well use my standard actionbars. =(
EDIT
Tellmewhen doesn't seem to track Cold Snap at all.
No Cold Snap cooldown shows up, and it doesn't detect the cooldown reset on Frost spells.

Stance Debufs

By chance (there already may be a way) is there anyway to remind me, for example execute or shield bash or rend, about different buffs/debuffs depending on which stance I'm in?

for example. It would be nice if TMW would remind me to execute when in Battle or Berserker, or to Shield Slam when in defense.

Possibly make an option to check for only that stance.
So I can make it remind me of shield slam in defensive only (although it doesn't require defensive stance).

You should've actually posted this on the forums, because this is a page designed for commenting on this addon only. If I were you, I'd check out Aware though, it doesn't show an icon but it does show the name.

tmw as a druid?

Does anyone use TMW with a druid or warrior? I love it for my paladin, but when playing a druid in bear form it doesn't work well for me. I'd like my abilities to only show up once I have enough rage to use them. With a mana user, you know that you can use almost any ability right away because the mana is there. With rage, you have to build up before using many/most abilities. It would be nice if TMW would take that into account and only show if there's enough power for the ability.

Also, what do you do with different forms. I don't want to see bear abilities while in casting or cat form. Is there any way to deal with this?

And one more thing for you. I wanted a LibDataBroker plugin for TellMeWhen so I hacked one up in Hack. If you'd like to include this in the main TellMeWhen distribution, go for it.

Code:
local popupFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "TellMeWhenLauncherMenu", UIParent, "UIDropDownMenuTemplate")
local menu = {}
local menuNeedsUpdate = true

local function updateMenu()
    menuNeedsUpdate = nil
    menu = wipe(menu)
    for i = 1,4 do
        local tmp = {
            text = "Group " .. i,
            checked = TellMeWhen_Settings.Groups[i].Enabled,
            tooltipTitle = "Group " .. i,
            tooltipText = "Click to toggle display of button group " .. i,
            func = function()
                TellMeWhen_Settings.Groups[i].Enabled = not TellMeWhen_Settings.Groups[i].Enabled
                TellMeWhen_Group_Update(i)
                menuNeedsUpdate = true
            end
        }
        table.insert(menu, tmp)
    end
end

local ldb = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibDataBroker-1.1")
local dataobj = ldb:GetDataObjectByName("TellMeWhenLauncher") or     
    ldb:NewDataObject("TellMeWhenLauncher", {
        type = "launcher", 
        icon = "Interface\\Icons\\spell_shadow_lifedrain02", 
    })

dataobj.OnClick = function(self, button)         
   if button == "RightButton" then
        if menuNeedsUpdate then
            updateMenu()
        end
        if #menu > 0 then
            EasyMenu(menu, popupFrame, self, 20, 4, "MENU")
        end
    else
        TellMeWhen_LockToggle()        
    end
 end

dataobj.OnTooltipShow = function(tt)
    tt:AddLine("TellMeWhen")
    tt:AddLine("|cff7fffffLeft-click|cffffffff to toggle the group locks")
    tt:AddLine("|cff7fffffRight-click|cffffffff to show/hide specifc groups")
end

I would like to make a suggestion. When you have a buff/debuff set to "Always Show" it would be nice to have a color indicator that it is actually missing.

The following changes will do this:

TellMeWhen.lua - appx line 489 after the SetAlpha(icon.absentAlpha) call:
Code:
icon.texture:SetVertexColor(1, 0.35, 0.35, 1)
TellMeWhen.lua - appx line 502 after the SetAlpha(icon.presentAlpha) call:
Code:
icon.texture:SetVertexColor(1, 1, 1, 1)
Much better!

Great addon. One small request, itd be nice if it didn't get incredibly confused about certain pet things, on a hunter. Try taming a bear, giving it the charge talent, and configure a button to notify when the pet's charge ability is on cd It works, but gets quite confused when the pet goes away and comes back.
