Mongoose 
When your mana is full, you get told to turn off Aspect of the Viper. When your mana is empty, you get told to turn it on.
Configuration is done via the options panel; there is no command line interface. You can change the text that is displayed, add sound effects, and modify the percentage of mana at which you get warnings.
If you are not a hunter, it does nothing at all.

Had this for about 2 weeks with no issues.. very simple and easy to use for sure. Keeps me on the move and almost completely cuts out any downtime. Thanks!

For the first time, Mongoose is now working reliably and saving its settings through relogs with v1.4. Nice work.
Don't normally request features, but would be nice to have the text alerts be able to be forwarded to scrolling text addons & the like instead of stuck in the middle of the screen. Such as having the messages forwarded to a user choice of MikScrollingBattleText, ScrollingCombatText, Parrot, Blizzard's built-in SCT, the built-in raid warning frame and so on. Via the Sink library, such support can easily be added (available here: LibSink-2.0).

This will really scramble your eggs, but... since 12-03-08 I haven't had any issues with this mod. I've put it through some pretty intensive playing too, raiding, soloing, questing (with phasing), vehicle combat, etc, etc.

That doesn't look like the ones I was seeing from my guildie at all, which simply reiterates my complete failure to understand what's causing this. Thanks for sending them, though, I'll keep it tucked away if I end up needing to do more work on this.

Just saw the v1.4 update and only then remembered the tests on v1.2 I did to get some saved variable data to send you, as requested. Don't normally play my hunter currently; did the test a week or two ago. Hope this helps in case there are any further issues with 1.4.
Code:
MongooseData = {
["LowOffset"] = {
["Y"] = 0,
["X"] = 0,
},
["HighFont"] = "Friz Quadrata TT",
["HighSize"] = 50,
["LowColor"] = {
["A"] = 0,
["B"] = 1,
["G"] = 1,
["R"] = 1,
},
["HighSound"] = "None",
["LowText"] = "Turn Viper On",
["HighOffset"] = {
["Y"] = 0,
["X"] = 0,
},
["HighMana"] = 90,
["HighColor"] = {
["A"] = 0,
["B"] = 1,
["G"] = 1,
["R"] = 1,
},
["LowMana"] = 10,
["HighText"] = "Turn Viper Off",
["LowSize"] = 50,
["LowSound"] = "None",
["LowFont"] = "Friz Quadrata TT",
}

A guildie managed to run into the error Zidomo reported. Like him, 1.0 worked but every version after didn't, and it worked fine on the initial login but failed every time after that.
I just uploaded the changes that worked for her. Presumably, it will also work for everybody else? *Why* it works in 1.0 is still beyond my comprehension, so I'm not 100% sure I've got a complete handle on the situation, unfortunately. |

If it isn't too much trouble, a peek at your saved variable file after getting the error might help me out. Preferably from 1.2, since I was specifically trying to avoid this error at that point; in the current version I assumed your error and the configurations bug I found were the same thing, but apparently I was wrong.

Well, with the latest version I'm still getting the error that Zidimo reported with 1.1. The only version that does not give me any errors ever is 1.0. If I delete my SavedVariables file, I can log in without error exactly once. This is without changing any options on any addon. In other words:
- Install Mongoose - Log in -> no error - Log out - Log in -> error with any version post 1.0. Going back to 1.0 again. |

I figured out what was actually causing the settings to be reset. Apparently, when you click "Okay" in the interface options, it finalizes *all* settings, not just the ones for the addon you're looking at. Its logical, but it didn't occur to me to account for that. Now I have, and it appears to work in every situation I can come up with to test it in.

Bah
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. I'll keep playing with it, at least I've eliminated one possible source. |

That same problem crept up on me again tonight, after trying the new version.
I can tell it's coming when I see a "Turn off Viper" when I use Viper to regen. I check the interface options and all the Mongoose fields (text warnings for example) are empty or reset. I'll download the current version again and wipe my saved variables and give it another go :/ |

I've changed a few things, hopefully the settings will be more robust now. At the very least, it should fail more eligantly should things continue to crap out

I'm getting the same error as Zidomo, and it happened all of the sudden. Mongoose was working great for days, then I hit up some Argent Crusade quests in Northrend and it wigged out. Maybe it had something to do with the siege vehicles I used, or the "phasing" that occurred during the defense of the Vanguard... I'm not sure.

Thanks for the kind words.
I *think* I know what's causing your problem; it shouldn't take too long to squash if I'm right. I'm pretty sure rolling back to 1.0 wouldn't fix anything, unfortunately, because the bug exists in that version as well, but if you're desperate for a fix deleting your saved variable file might do the trick. |

My favorite Viper-only warning mod so far. Outdoes ViperWatch & ViperNotify; more options, easier to setup and resource efficient.
But...v1.0 worked well. v1.1 does not. Error at logon with v1.1 (recorded with BugSack/!BugGrabber mods): Mongoose-1.1\Mongoose.lua:481: <unnamed>:SetText(): Font not set Mongoose-1.1\Mongoose.lua:481: in function <Interface\AddOns\Mongoose\Mongoose.lua:470> (tail call): ?: <in C code>: ? <string>:"safecall Dispatcher[1]":9: in function <[string "safecall Dispatcher[1]"]:5> (tail call): ?: AceAddon-3.0-5 (Ace3):340: in function `InitializeAddon' AceAddon-3.0-5 (Ace3):428: in function <Interface\AddOns\Ace3\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:421> |
