What Is YKTarget?
YKTarget is a World of Warcraft addon created for making party/raid targeting easier and quicker. The previous incarnation of this addon was NYAN Raid Target which has now been abandoned and replaced with YKTarget.

YKT's official home is www.yetikitn.com/yktarget



**** Version 2 Updates & Changes ****

Slash command /ykt now forces hide.
Several skins added.
Auto Hide function added (only shows when targeting a mob).
Also hides when entering battlegrounds.
General bug fixes.

for more up to date info / pictures look at the officeal YKT page.

Enjoy


What Does It Do?

The addon displays targeting icons by default in the top center of the screen. A button for each raid target icon, 1 for clearing an icon, and 1 for ready check are all available.

The addon will only display when you are in a group or raid and have the ability to target. In other words you need to be a party leader, raid leader, or raid assistant for it to popup. This was done to keep your screen as clear as possible when you're not able to target.

In addition, the addon will not show while you are in Wintergrasp. This was added after testing and found that there was no real reason to show the addon whilst PvPing. The addon also hides during other battlegrounds.

There is one slash command for YKT and that is /ykt : this toggles force hiding the addon.

What Can I Customise?
At the moment you can offset its position on the screen. Alter its scale and its transparency to suit your play style and as of version 2 you can choose different skins.

Other addons have more functionality (Quick Mark) that allow you to assign team members to certain targets and whisper players or raid on assignments but they do not have the flexibility to change size, location and shape the way YKTarget does. That flexibility is the most important feature for me as I hate when adds get in the way of me getting my job done. Love this add on! Thanks for your work on it and the great improvements with the latest release!!
You're very welcome and I'm glad you find it useful. Always nice to hear someone out there likes this addon

May your raids be swift and your loots plentyful!

Hello,

Alright then. I find the current blizzard raid icon system is slow and not fun, so I might give this a shot.

Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion. However, there is a autohide option already there and for the addon to work how you want would mean a complete overhaul.

I may consider it for a later version if more people show interest.

Hi Ross,

No problem I will get to work on the movement options. As for rotation, thats still something on the cards but might take some time.

Thanks for the new version Like the new skins pretty nice. I do have a request for the next update though

Is there anyway you can make it so it actually goes all the way to the top/bottom and left/right of my screen when i use the X,Y options? I take it the 1000/-1000 on the "X" is pixels? so if you use a higher resolution it won't move over any further same with the "Y". I use the resolution 1280 x 1024.

I guess an example of what I am trying to do could help

http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/w...erface-Min.jpg

That my current interface, right now your YKT pops up at the top center, I want it to actually pop up at the bottom right where my pet bar is and would like to turn it 180 degrees so the flat part touches my shot rotation panel. That way its easier for me to mark targets since I am a clicked I won't have to move my curson all the way to the top then back to the bottom.

It's coming along, most of the coding is done, just working in a choice of skins. However it seems when i have a shed load of free time wow seems to be in maintenance ><

But shouldn't be too long now

Thanks for suggestion. It's something that shouldn't be too hard to put in the upcoming release

Great mod
Can you make it so it only shows when you have a target?

Hi Miralen,

First of all I agree, 7Zip is free and easy to use, but this time I did cave and replace the rar with a zip.

There is in the options, 2 sliders for offsetting the position to wherever you want on the screen.

Pretty soon I'm hoping to get a skins feature added which xtoq mentioned earlier. Then plan is to have a skin which is made for either the top/bottom/left/right.

The skins will replace my original plan of rotation due to me having no luck getting it to work (it may return in a later version but is on hold right now).

I do plan though for each skin to have the option for each side of the screen.

Back to work, and hope you all enjoy the addon!

I second and third the nomination for 7zip, its a very very useful tool and I am certain that you will also run into more .rar files on this site and I am also sure that a good portion of those authors will not be willing to change the .rar to a .zip for much of the same reason that you feel downloading a simple program to unzip rars is annoying, not a personal attack let me make that clear just wanted to state you may run into some other difficulties.

At any rate back to more important matters like when do you plan to have the implementation for being able to change sides its on available, being that I run a bar mod at the top would be nifty to have this on the left or right hand side of my screen. Also maybe another idea would be to allow it to be free floating as well as the ability to allow it to dock to any edge of the screen for those of up who want to fit it into our UIs and may not have a great spot for it on the edges of the screen. Anyways going to check this out right now (assuming the servers are up which I doubt) Keep up the great work! This look like a great addon so far !

Linix, if you are using the defualt zip/unzipper for your operating system, you are missing out on alot of "cool stuff".

7zip is a free and extremely useful compressor, unzips/zips every extension known.

But each to their own, hope you don't miss out on anymore really nifty things ^^
