Light Meter Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.6.4

by: Dagma [More]

Version 1.6.4 - Minor usability changes, re bar visibility when targeting or not targeting.

Version 1.6.3 - Some bug fixes for patch 4.2. Also added mana-bar-only mode for mages.

Light Meter is a healing estimation addon. It supports priests, shamans, druids, and paladins. Priest support is the most extensive.

Since v1.6.3, also shows only the mana bar, with Evocation and Mana Gem marks, for mages. When in mage mode, the mana bar doesn't adjust its maximum for intellect procs like Volcano card. This makes it easier for arcane mages to know when they would waste mana, when the proc ends.

Light Meter accomplishes SIX (6) things.

(1) Show predicted healing against target's health.

(2) Show your own mana in the same place.

(3) Track Power Word: Shield and Divine Aegis absorption, using a length of shield at the end of the health bar. As your target is hit, the shield grows shorter, until it is gone.

(4) Indicate incoming heals on your target, using a blue bar at the end of your own estimated healing.

(5) It also tracks your mana just below the health bar. It places tick marks on your mana bar for the expected mana gains from different abilities and a mana potion. Large gains and loss of mana are highlighted on your mana bar.

(6) Light Meter will finally track statistics on your heals and display these, estimating efficiency and throughput from your empirical data, in spell tooltips.

Note that I made this addon for my own use. It doesn't have a fancy customization interface, and it probably never will.

Type "/lm" or "/lightmeter" for options.

v1.6.1 - Added experimental support for incoming heals. They will appear as the blue segment at the end of the healing prediction bar. Some minor bug fixes for rare errors.

v1.5.0 - updated for 4.0.1 patch. No longer calculating expected heal sizes, but rather learning them from your actual casts. So cast each spell a few times, in order to get the calculations in tooltips working. Most of the shield tracking stuff hasn't been updated. Still bugs for classes other than priest.

v1.3.1 - Updated to patch 3.3. Has accumulated various fixes and more class support (partial) along the way, but I haven't been uploading intermediate versions, so I've lost track of all the changes. I still use it daily, though, so its core functionality for priests is still good.

v1.2 - Updated for patch 3.2. Also added minimal druid support, for those with druid alts.

v1.1.1 - Added '/lm showbars' command to toggle always hiding the bars, in case you just want to tooltip statistics.

v1.1.0 - Updated for Patch 3.1 talents and spells.

The issue is that you don't have a mana potion in your inventory, I think. Should be fixed in the next update.

It has worked, in limited ways, with the other healing classes for some time now. Give it a try.

I'm working on a "bar" based pitbull plugin along the lines of the Pitbull4_Visualheals addon, but for now I have a functional text implementation which can be layered on any pitbull frame. To set it up: In the pitbull4 config UI, go to "modules" and "events" and enable COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED and check the "all" checkbox for it. Now go create a new luatext. Enable UNIT_AURA, UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED, and COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED for the text, and enter the following custom code: Code: local POS_Left = math.floor(LightMeter_ShieldTable[GetUnitName(unit,true)] or 0) local DA_Left = math.floor(LightMeter_DivineAegisTable[GetUnitName(unit,true)] or 0) local result = "" if(POS_Left > 0) then result = result.."\|cffff0000"..POS_Left end if(DA_Left>0) then result = result.." \|cff00ff00"..DA_Left end return result Now position it where you want. That'll show you PW:S in red text and DA in green text on the unit frame you place it on.

Bug fix patch -- I think there's still another bug though

Attached is a patch file which does 4 things:

1. Fix Divine Aegis for the new combat log events which move the crit parameter
2. Fix cross-realm player name stuff, by switching all names to be GetUnitName() format, ie Name - Realm with spaces around the -, so we insert those spaces into the combat log names which don't include them
3. Fix the calculation for PW:S instant heal -- use the expected PW:S value which varies with PW:S rank not a hard-coded value.
4. Fix the Divine Aegis amount calculation to use the rank of Divine Aegis instead of assuming all 3 points in that talent.

I think there's still a bug in how damage is taken out of PW:S vs DA in LightMeter_ShieldAbsorb() -- the way the code reads now:

absorbAmount is to be absorbed between the two
If there's a PW:S, then deduct absorbAmount from that
If it goes below 0, set absorbAmount to the "overabsorb" as a negative number, and remove the PW:S [correct]

If there's a DA, then DEDUCT the absorbAmount from that -- but absorbAmount here is NEGATIVE, so you'll be increasing the DA shield

This patch will make LM work with 3.3.3, and for players below level 80

We're actually going over these numbers in a discussion at
http://www.plusheal.com/viewtopic.php?p=57755
If you're interested. Apparently it caught the attention of the author of DrDamage. Personally, I'm only interested in knowing what the correct formula is. I'd like to add a link to your addon on my site for the terrific help you've given in the past. Though... if you want to, joining the discussion would be dearly appreciated.

Improved Power Word:Shield is not included and FocusedPower is doubled. Doesn't IPW:S contribute? Does FocusedPower count twice?

Yes, I know about VisualHeal. I don't use it. VH doesn't track shields, doesn't track mana, doesn't estimate mana gains from abilities, and doesn't provide theorycraft stats in spell tooltips.

But yeah, if all you want is the healing bar, go for VH.
