Oversight

Oversight is a stand-alone mod made for World of Warcraft. It is a unit frames Addon specially designed for arena and battleground play to present data in a way that is easier to assimilate by the average or beginner player. It may also find use by advanced players when making videos to better illustrate their strategies and swaps as targeting is made very visible to the user.

Please view the Video Feature Guide. Note that this guide is only accurate as of v0.91.

The latest version of Oversight will always be available on e-Goh.com. Please also direct feedback to the forums there.

* Aura configuration so that specific buffs/debuffs may be displayed for ally or enemy players. Aura’s may be shown in a ranked list of seven, or may replace the character’s portrait.

* Spec detection and display.

* Sound alert for when the focus target is casting a spell, or when the target is casting a spell if there is no focus target.
* Diminishing returns tracker that tracks up to six diminishing return types.
* PvP Trinket tracker.

* Extremely low resource usage.
* Does not depend on the combat log.

It appears that freezing arrow does not show on the portrait; however, freezing traps than have been placed normally show normally. Haven't encountered anything else. Edit: Discovered that it is a different debuff called "Freezing Arrow Effect". Works fine. Suggestion: it'd be nice to be able to change the opacity of the arrows/spotlights, and an optional red "debuff" highlight as a low health warning would also be fantastic.

The only thing I really miss is the option to let the addon sit in background and just pop in arena, since I prefer to use other unit frames in party and raid options. Is it possible to extend this option in future versions? []'s

Not the whole thing, but spotlights can be set to show in arenas only.

I was thinking in a better way to avoid wasting a cc in a wrong target or dpsing different targets and wasting arena pressure. I tried to achieve this using a combination of pitbull and gladius, but the result never fully satisfied me. I think you vision is the answer. Another vote for the transparency option. []'s

Hmm, I shall have to find out how Power Auras did it. Some sort of blending option, I expect. Though I suspect aliasing or over-antialiasing may cause some trouble unless I use really huge textures.

As for libSharedMedia, I'm not so sure. It looks like that might fit a different sort of skin, producing a more SUF/Pitbull look. Lots of repositioning. Thus far, I haven't used any third-party plugins, so I'm a little wary...

SharedMedia support? That would allow some customization without involving artistic ability. Not the UBER customizable stuff some might want, but hell, that's a lot of work for anyone!
