== AnnoyingBuffReminder 1.8 ==
by Wikwocket (wikwocket@gmail.com)

This AddOn displays an annoying reminder to use class buffs, armor spells, shouts, aspects, blessings, and Victory Rush.

Specifically, it will display an annoying popup on your screen (you can drag it with the mouse) if you do not have an appropriate spell up:
* Druid: Mark/Gift of the Wild, Thorns
* Hunter: Any Aspect
* Mage: Any Armor spell, Arcane Intellect/Brilliance, Amplify/Dampen Magic
* Paladin: Any aura and any blessing, and Righteous Fury
* Priest: Inner Fire, Power Word/Prayer of Fortitude, Divine/Prayer of Spirit, Shadow Protection
* Shaman: Any Shield spell, and weapon enchants
* Warlock: Any Skin/Armor spell, Detect Invisibility
* Warrior: Battle Shout or Commanding Shout

It will also remind Warriors to use Victory Rush after each kill.

This AddOn will work with the English, French, and German versions of WoW.

There are several options:
* /abr pvp/bg to remind while in a battleground/arena.
* /abr lock|unlock to toggle window locking and click-through.
* /abr <spell> to toggle reminders for the following optional spells:
** battle|battleshout|bs - Battle Shout
** command|commandingshout|cs - Commanding Shout
** amp|amplify - Amplify Magic
** damp|dampen - Dampen Magic
** thorns - Thorns
** omen|clarity|ooc - Omen of Clarity
** soul|link|soulink - Soul Link
** detect|invis - Detect Invisibility
** demon|sacrifice|ds - Demonic Sacrifice
** tsa|trueshot - Trueshot Aura
** fury|righteous|righteousfury|rf - Righteous Fury
** shield|shieldspell - Shaman shield spells
** divine|spirit|ds - Divine Spirit
** shadow|shadowprot - Shadow Protection

All settings are saved across sessions, except for Warrior shout preference, since using this depends on whether you have two warriors in your party.

It will only annoy you if you have more than 50% mana or 10 rage, are not mounted, not flying, not in a capital city, and not mind controlled. It will also not bug you if you are less than level 15. It won't remind you in battlegrounds/arenas unless you tell it to.

The popup should appear in the situations when you would want the buff up. No configuration is necessary, unless you want to also enable reminders for optional spells such as Divine Spirit.

I hope you find this mod useful. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Thanks for the feedback. The 50% threshold was put in before 2.3. Unfortunately the mod uses one threshold for all spells. Feel free to change this though: Open AnnoyingBuffReminder.lua in a text editor.

Look for this line near the bottom (line 537):
if (showABR and (UnitMana("player") * 100 / UnitManaMax("player") >= 50)) then

and change it to (example: 10%):
if (showABR and (UnitMana("player") * 100 / UnitManaMax("player") >= 10)) then

Thanks a lot for the update with optional shaman shields (and detect invis, as I also play a warlock.)

Sometimes it may seem like the mod only works in combat, because it only checks your buffs when your mana level changes, so it does not have to use memory and processing time to constantly scan them.
Ahh... That's why I get the "Cast an armor!" message just one second too late when I cast my warlock's horse...

I'm glad ghost wolf support works well.

The mod doesn't work below level 15, so that it won't pop up for bank/auction alts.

Shaman weapon enchant detection should work all the time. Sometimes it may seem like the mod only works in combat, because it only checks your buffs when your mana level changes, so it does not have to use memory and processing time to constantly scan them. Also, shaman off-hand weapon enchant detection is not yet localized.

Thanks for ghost wolf support! It seems to work fine with the French client .

cheadstina: I think that for some reason the addon doesn't work below level 15. Also I have the feeling it doesn't work in combat, but I might be wrong.

I have fixed a bunch of bugs in the code, sorry for the delay in releases, but 1.62 should work much better for all classes.

Yes, it appears I have accidentally made it TOO annoying! This is a known issue with how I changed support for Warriors, and I will work to fix it. 1.51 is fine to use in the interim.

Overall, this is a terrific mod. I used to use the ancient Innerfire Warning on my priest; v1.51 of AnnoyingBuffReminder (ABR) uses a fraction of the CPU time that that mod does, not to mention handling other classes as well.

But a big problem with v1.6 that was not present with earlier builds. So much of a problem that I've had to revert back to v1.51.

As various times with v1.6 (on a warrior), the ABR box starts blinking steadily. As in it shows up, vanishes, & show up again. Occasionally it will remain steadily showing when a buff is missing (as it should, and as it did prior to v1.6). But most of the time it blinks.

Very distracting. Hope this is changed; I'm back to the earlier revision.

Nifty.

For (shadow) priests, could you please add:

- Power Word: Fortitude
- Shadow Protection
- Touch of Weakness (Blood Elf only? Not sure)

Thanks!

You cannot click the frame to cast the spell, as I can't change which spell to cast in combat, and really I don't know what spell you want to cast (ie, which armor, which shout, etc). The mod just alerts you when you are missing a category of buff.

I am working on a priority queue for when multiple buffs are missing. Right now the only spells that overlap are Victory Rush and a shout for Warriors, and in that case Victory Rush has precedence.

Also: what happens if there are multiple buffs needing casting?

Thanks! I think I'll give this a try. Does it allow you to click the frame to cast the buff that's required?
