# *** The Micro-Unit Frames (MUFs) *** #
########################################
Decursive makes your life easier, it clearly shows you who is afflicted by
something you can remove, this is done using "Micro-unit-frames" (MUF): a
micro-unit-frame is a little square on your screen that changes of appearance
according to the unit status. If you click on a MUF, it automatically cast a
cleaning spell, the choice of the spell depends of the mouse button you click,
Decursive manages the button mapping automatically.
MUFs have several colors:
- Full red: the unit is in range and is affected by something you can cure by
left-clicking on the MUF.
- Transparent red: the unit is out of range and affected by something you could
cure by left-clicking on the MUF
- Full blue: idem as red but with right-clicking instead of left-clicking.
- Full orange: idem as blue or red but with ctrl-left-clicking.
- Transparent grey: The unit does not exists.
- Dark Transparent green: the unit is in scan range and is not afflicted by
something you can cure.
- Transparent purple: The unit is too far to be scan or cured.
- Transparent light-green: The unit is cloaked.
- Any color but with a little green square in the middle: the unit is
MIND-CONTROLLED.
- Black, the unit has been blacklisted because it was out-of-sight when you
tried to cure it, the time in blacklist can be change in the options.
The informations above are also indicated by tool-tips in the game.
MUFs display is done according to your settings, you can change their number
and size easily (only when not in combat).
MUFs are very discreet when no action is required, you can see right through
them.
You can change the spell mapping when you are not in combat, the mapping is
done according to your cure priorities ; go to the "curing options", the
priorities are indicated by green numbers in front of the affliction types.
Besides casting, MUFs allow you to target the units by middle-clicking,
ctrl-middle-clicking will focus them. (To clear the focused unit, use the
command /clearfocus)
MUFs are organized intelligently by default, you're always first then the rest
of your group, the groups after yours, the group before yours and the pets (you
can choose to monitor them or not) and, at last, your focused unit (changed
using the command /focus 'name' or by ctrl-middle-clicking on a MUF).
You can completely change this order by using the priority and skip list, a
very manageable list of players.
Decursive has been written with optimisation, quality and performances in mind,
it should not affect you refresh rate at all.
###############
---------------
IMPORTANT:
TO MOVE THE MUFS, ALT-CLICK AND HOLD THE HANDLE JUST ABOVE THE FIRST MUF (IT
HAS THE SAME SIZE AS A MUF AND HIGHLIGHTS WHEN YOUR MOUSE POINTER IS OVER IT).
This handle has several uses, a tooltip explains them all.
---------------
###############
Decursive also creates and manages a macro that allows you to cure units (or
other unit frames) you mouse-over, you choose the key in Decursive's options.
Hitting the key alone will try to cast the first spell, ctrl-hitting, the
second and shift-hitting will try to cast the third. Decursive will show you
if the unit beneath your cursor is afflicted by something through its
'live-list'. You can also take the macro and place it on one of your action
bar using the default Macros window.
NOTE: To change the key, use the graphical menu, the graphical menu is accessed
by right-clicking the handle or the "Decursive" bar. You can also use the
command line for exemple, "/dcr macro SetKey V" wlll set the new key to [V].
Decursive uses the expertise of the Ace2 libraries (those libraries are
embedded, you don't need to install any dependency).
Many options are available, don't forget to try them.
Decursive also have a skip list, people in this list will be completely ignored
and not displayed in the MUFs.
/DCRSHOW
---> To show main Decursive bar (also available by right-shift-clicking the
MUFs handle)
Note that this bar is also the anchor of the live-list
(moving this bar moves the live-list).
/DCRHIDE
---> To hide the Decursive bar (leaving live-list displayed)
/DCROPTIONS
---> To show a static option panel
/DCRRESET
---> To reset Decursive windows position to the middle of your screen (useful
when you loose a frame)
/DCRPRADD
---> Add the current target to the priority list
/DCRPRCLEAR
---> clear the priority list
/DCRPRSHOW
---> Display the priority list UI (where you can add, delete, move players)
(Ctrl-left-clicking the MUFs handle does the same)
/DCRSKADD
---> Add the current target to the skip list
/DCRSKCLEAR
---> Clear the skip list
/DCRSKSHOW
---> Display the skip list UI (where you can add,delete,clear)
(Shift-right-clicking the MUFs handle does the same)
NOTE:
All these commands can also be bound to a key through the key-binding
WoW interface.

*** QUESTION :
How do I move the Micro-unit frames?
*** ANSWER :
To move the MUFs, press Alt and left-click and hold the handle
just above the first MUF (it has the same size as a MUF and highlights when
your mouse pointer is over it). This handle has several uses, a tool-tip (in
the lower right corner of your screen) explains them all.
*** QUESTION :
How do I move the live-list?
*** ANSWER :
Display the "Decursive" bar (/dcrshow or shift-right-click on the MUF
handle) and alt-click to move the bar (The live-list is anchored to this bar).
*** QUESTION :
Alright I have just one thing to say about this mod, no matter what key
I bind it to... It only cleanse when he feels like it. I could push the key I
bind cleanse like 300 time and it does not even try to attempt. If I click on a
friend or myself now it will go right away. I remember the old one when we
didn't have to click on people face to do so, that's why it was very useful in
raids. Anyone knows how to fix it? Or it’s just that way?
*** ANSWER :
You have to over the unit or unit's unit-frame you want to cure and
then press the curring key... Or click on one of the MUF with the mouse-button
corresponding to the color of the MUF. How fast "Decursive" removes debuffs
only depends on you...
*** QUESTION :
How do I remove the 'focus' unit of the MUFs?
*** ANSWER :
Type /clearfocus
*** QUESTION :
** The old Decursive was so simple, why is it so complicate now?
** If by clicking on a specific MUF can cast spells on the specific
target, wouldn't it stand to reason that if you code one button to change to
the name of the priority target you would then only need one MUF instead of
multiple MUFs?
*** ANSWER :
** It's because of Blizzard changes in WoW 2.0, Add-ons can no longer
target units or cast spells directly...
** No it's impossible, unit-frame cannot be modified while the player is
in combat... Blizzard wants players to take actions and think to play. So
single-button-casting add-ons are impossible since WoW 2.0. Player have to
choose manually their target and the spells they want to use.
Decursive uses new Blizzard's "click casting" solution, it's the only
way for add-ons to use spells and target players.
*** QUESTION :
** Since 2.X a lot of people in my raidgroup have heard that Decursive has been
banned by Blizzard and using it might result in penalties on ones account.
*** ANSWER :
** This is not true. The only add-ons that could put a player in troubles are
add-ons that don't respect the rules set by Blizzard, such as add-ons that
allows communication between different factions. Decursive breaks no rule of
that kind. When Blizzard disapproves an add-on they simply disable the API it
uses to work. This is what happened when WoW 2.0 came out, a lot of add-ons
where completely unusable (Decursive was part of them).
With Decursive, players still have to choose their target and the spells they
want to use on that specific target, this is what Blizzard wants. They disapproved
Decursive 1.x because players had only one button to press to remove all afflictions
without even thinking...
You can ask to a Game Master in game if you still have some doubts about Decursive status.
Change Log - Decursive
Decursive 2.4 by Archarodim (2009-04-06)
Changes from Decursive 2.3.1 to Decursive 2.4
- New feature: The cool down of the curing spell to be used is displayed
(clock) on afflicted MUFs.
- Decursive uses AceLocal-3.0 ; localization is now made using this interface:
http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/decursive/localization/
- Miscellaneous localization updates in various languages.
- Re-implemented the max unit to show option.
- Added a warning when the user disables Decusive and an explanation on how to
re-enable it (/dcr standby)
- Translations for key bindings descriptions (WoW key binding interface)
- It's no longer possible to map the button 1 and 2 of the mouse to Decursive's
macro by accident.
- Fixes a problem if the game is loaded without any "saved variables" where the
API GetCurrentBindingSet() would return incorrect values unusable with the
API SaveBindings() preventing Decursive from initializing correctly.
- Bug fix: Charmed unit detection wasn't working if the player himself was charmed.
- Bug fix: The focus MUF was not added at the end but just before pets.
- Bug fix: The stick to right option (concerning the MUFs positions) was broken.
- Some other minor bug fixes.
Optional Files - Decursive
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
I haven't been able to find it, so I would like to request an option if you don't mind. Above the first block on the MicroUnit Frame is a blue square to access the Decursive options. Could you please give us a way to disable this? I've accidentally clicked on it multiple times bringing up the options list, and it completely messes me up.
If I have the minimap icon enabled, I see absolutely no reason to have the blue square enabled as well; it causes nothing but problems for me. An option to disable this would very welcome.
I love the addon, it helps me tremendously. An option to disable the square above the first block on MicroUnits Frame (disable it when mini-map icon is enabled?) would make the addon perfect in my eyes.
Originally posted by Leatrix Please keep up the excellent work with Decursive. It isn't for everyone, but I'm a much more useful tankadin with it running and I'd really miss it if it wasn't here.
I love this addon, I've been using it for years in one form or another.
It may surprise you to learn that I get the most out of Decursive when playing my paladin tank!
Why?
Because as a tank, I'm focused on watching targets and clicking spells, I can't be watching for debuff icons under the party nameplates at the same time as trying to keep up my threat level on multiple mobs.
Decursive puts a nice little box array near my spell buttons. As soon as someone gets afflicted by something I can cleanse, I hear and see it instantly and all I have to do is move my mouse a small disstance to the Decursive box that's highlighted and click the mouse button.
I've used this extensively while tanking for breaking fear, polymorphs, removing poisons, diseases, magical traps (frost nova), chills, dots, mana drains, pretty much everything except curses.
My tankadin is much more useful with the ability to instantly cleanse people without having to take my eyes off my spell buttons and stare at party nameplates for an affliction, then target them, click Cleanse then retarget my mobs and probably lose aggro. Nightmare.
Decursive makes tanking and cleansing fun! I sure miss it when playing my warrior tank. And I always feel sorry for those healers who group with a paladin tank who can't cleanse at the same time as maintaining threat. It's easy with Decursive and it helps the healers out a lot.
Please keep up the excellent work with Decursive. It isn't for everyone, but I'm a much more useful tankadin with it running and I'd really miss it if it wasn't here.
Originally posted by Archarodim you used different cleansing spells with the same click during combat?
Right. Dispel, Abolish and both healing spells, whatever is applicable at the moment, from single click. Only spell that require some mind work in progress, is a Renew that have put on rightclick.

Originally posted by jadakren So you're saying I have to :
Aim for the little sqaures and use a key/click combo? or Mouseover the raid frames i already mouse over and use the macro provided by decursive?
my current raid frames already highlight blue,brown,green,purple for magic,disease,poison,curse.
i already click-cast on those frames using clique.
Well it depends on what you're looking for, if you feel fine like that then don't use Decursive but you lose all the benefits I listed (see omment dated "04-03-2009 11:33 AM")
Originally posted by AnrDaemon Shall I point to the HealBot? It doing exactly what I need, my only problem is that I can't stop him from healing, thus breaking my shadowform.
You do have to use mouse and keyboard combo too with Healbot (except when out of combat).
If you're not a healer, using Healbot to just remove debuff is a waste of cpu and memory.
Memory and cpu usage as always been my first concern when coding Decursive.
Originally posted by Archarodim Blizzard made it impossible, they want players to think... So you do have to chose what spell to use when you want to cleanse someone.

Originally posted by AnrDaemon Is there a "mindless mode"? I'm tired of left-right-middle-biddle-puddle clicking to decurse even myself, not to mention - raid. All I want is a simple 1-click decurse.

With Decursive you can:
- filter out debuffs you don't want or that are useless to clean by character class (some are pre-configured)
- choose between what you can dispel, (for example you can see only magically afflicted members if you want)
- you can prioritize or exclude members
- if you are a mage or a druid you can sheep/cyclone mind controlled players.
- an automatic blacklist (player 'out of line of sight' are blacklisted so you don't waste time trying to dispel them)
- get a sound alert when someone needs decursing
- get a special sound alert when 'unstable affliction' is detected and you're about to dispel it.
- get a visual alert when your dispel attempts are resisted
- get a mouseover macro that is auto-configured for all your characters
- cooldown display to maximize dispel speed
- highly configurable interface.
- probably more things that don't come to my mind right now...
In brief what you get with Decursive is effectiveness, a player using Decursive will always dispel faster than other players.
