OzRaid is a raid/party window 'construction kit', designed to let you build clickable showing health/mana/buffs/debuffs/etc. for raid members and or targetted mobs.
Unlike other mods, this lets you build custom windows depending on what information you need only. For example, a raid leader may want to see the whole raids health status along with the major buffs (AB, Fort, Pink paw, etc.) so they can see at a glance if everyone is buffed & ready. Healers can show certain groups or classes (or the CT/oRA2 Main Tanks) on special big bars that only show current HoTs & debuffs, with the health deficit shown in the new 'Big K' numbers that show you quickly & easily what size heal to use. DPS'ers can make a replacement for the default 'Main Tanks Target' window, which will not only show raid icons (very useful for targetting when the raid leader is shouting 'kill the orange' in a mass of mobs), but also can be customised to show only the debuffs you care about - such as Curse of Elements, Sunders etc.
You can even make non-clickable info windows, for example all the raid members within 30 yards who are in groups 2 & 4 who dont have your class buff. These let you make reminders that will pop up if anyone in your assigned groups requires a rebuff & they are in range. There are too many different combinations to list, so the best thing to do is start with a preset and play with all the options till you work out what you want!
Basically, for each window you can specify the input units (i.e. my party, the raid, targetted mobs, Main Tanks, etc.) and then apply filters (hide based on class, group, etc.) Finally pick the display options that suit you, and which buffs/debuffs you want to see on the bars. Simple!
Fully compatable with Clique & other click-to-cast mods that use Cladhaire's system for registering clickable windows, so I reccomend using these for click-cast decursing & the like!
'I made a window but I cant click on the bars!'
With patch 2.0, Blizzard forces any 'clickable' window to be locked during combat. What this means is the unit ID for a bar cannot change in combat. So, if you have selected any option in the OzRaid options that would require the units to change (i.e. filtering or sorting out people based on range, health status). These options are still there after 2.0 so you can make info windows such as an emergency monitor, but unfortunately this means you cannot click to target or cast.
'So.. isn't it like CT Raid Assist?'
No. All it does is show unit health/mana bars (and raidicons, buffs etc.). It doesnt provide any of the other cool things CT does (like boss warnings, and many more) This addon was written simply to provide a smaller & neater overview of the raid than the CTRaid and Blizzard party frames. But it now does so much more.
It also works in parties & solo as well as raids

Version notes:
-----------------------------------
v1.70 BETA
Ok, I have made a dual-version so it should work on WotLK beta
NOTE: I havent added any WotLK buffs/debuffs yet cos I dont know what they are
Changes:
Added more options for showing pets. you can now specify pets by class so you can ignore temporary pets like mage/priest ones. Makes it more stable in raid view during combat.
Removed CTRaid readycheck support - too buggy.
Improved Blizzards Readycheck support (just use /readycheck)
More to come, so this is only a beta type build!
please report any errors you find

4 different name formats (name + group number)
Variable fade amount for fade-on-range
Option to fade the name out with range too
Tweaked buff/debuff handling
MyParty filter changed to a force it to show, or force it to hide. Try it - it kinda makes more sense.
Please note: This is BETA (i.e. I havent had a chance to trst thoroughly). Please report any issues you find!
v1.59.1
---------
Changed 'MyParty' default to be ON
if you dont want to download this, just go to filters menu & check the 'MyParty' filter at the bottom for any new windows or when you apply a preset
v1.59
----------
(a) Show prayer of mending(?) - the bouncy heal
(b) Allow up to 6 buffs shown
(c) Buff timer tooltips work again (accurate for your own buffs, or read from CTRaid for others)
(d) Dreamless Sleep does NOT show up as a dispellable debuff!
(e) You can Add/Remove windows, so no need to be limited to just 8
(f) Presets work, but theres not many yet - I will be adding more
(g) Pet colour changed to be not exactly the same as druids!
(h) Various bug fixes & tweaks
(i) Healers fade-on-range is now full 40 yards
(j) more sensible default setting.
(k) 'My group' as a filter so you can filter out your group if you track them in a different window
(l) Right-click menu now works fully (so you can assign raid targets/promote/etc. via the bars)
WARNING - Windows positions are RESET with this version (as I have had to change the way they work, but on the plus side I will be able to 'get expand upwards' in very soon)

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Originally posted by Tss Is it posible to turn of the timers on the buffs??
I saw a prety large drop on my FPS after timers where put there.
I dont have the best puter so might be that but still would be nice to be able to turn it off. Also cant seem to get the bars notice if someone is out of range anymore?? Is that me or cant it be done anylonger? (Found the out of range thingie sorry )

Good point
To check it is the buff timers, try removing this section:
OzRaidBars.lua, line 732:
Code:
if(buffPath) then
if currBar.buffDur[j] and currBar.buffTimes[j] then
CooldownFrame_SetTimer( currFrame.buffCool[j], GetTime() - (currBar.buffDur[j] - currBar.buffTimes[j]), currBar.buffDur[j], 1 )
--print("Buff: "..buffPath.." Cooldown: ( "..currBar.buffTimes[j].." : "..currBar.buffDur[j].." )")
else
currFrame.buffCool[j]:Hide();
end
end
Basically just delete this section (or put '--' at the start of each line to comment it out), and that should hide the timers.
I will add an option to show/hide them for the next version

Originally posted by habriar i hope we have an option to show different colors for different kinds of debuff
Not yet - you do get the icon of the debuff shown which is usually enough to tell, but it is on my list of things to do (I dont currently habe any customisable color settings but it is on my wishlist)
Originally posted by Lynx0 When I typed /oz or /ozraid.. or click the minimap icon.. nothing happens?
Fixed in new version (v1.67)
I was forgetting to add default values for the new text sizes I added (they would work if you already used OzRaid but new installs would break the options)

Version 1.66 fixed 1 bug that could cause this.
If not - check 'OzOptions' is enabled in the addons list, otherwise if you can find an error message please post it here
Originally posted by break19 I've noticed a bug.. I have 3 windows for my BG-lovin pally.. the first 2 are groups 1-4, 5-8 respectively, and the 3rd one is for people within range of me (for easy click-heals) however, I've noticed that if I click someone who isnt in my group, it actually tries to target someone -in- my group instead of the proper person.
example.. 4 people in the window.. top 2 are in my group, 3rd and 4th are in 2 other groups.. if I click the 3rd or 4th, it targets the 3rd or 4th party member instead of the person I actually clicked in the list..
Since Burning Crusade (interface 2.0) you cant have clickable bars that change the unit based on range any more - essentially once combat starts, the unit assignments on the bars gets 'frozen' & Blizzard block any attempt to change them. This was done to stop emergency monitors, but also stops range only ones - addons are not allowed to change the unit, move, hide, etc.
The only way to do it these days is by using the fade on range on your normal raid bars - you can use the slider & the 'fade name' so that people who are too far away from you are almost transparent so you can tell at a glance who is healable. Not perfect but all we are allowed these days

Originally posted by Kaaihn Actually i'm the tank, not a healer. Sraidframes has the option for fade range to be set for 100 yards, if poking thru its code can provide an answer of what it bases the range off of.
I think it uses the boolean function UnitIsVisible("unit") and perhaps it become false over 100 yards.
Originally posted by Ozymandius There are not currently options to what range it fades, if you are a healer it will use 40 yards, if you are not it is 30 yards. If you are a healer (which I guess you are seeing as you care about it fading during a fight) then faded out = out of healing range, but if it is fading too much then you can alter the amount of fade with the slider.
It is on my to-do list to get a list of basic spells that have various ranges & use them to give you a slider - sadly I cant make range testing any more accurate than that though as Blizz dont allow you to accurately measure distances to units
