ShieldsUp 
It features an easy-to-read text display that shows the number of charges remaining on each active shield, as well as the name of the last person you cast Earth Shield on. Other features include a visual indication when another shaman overwrites your Earth Shield, text and audio alerts when one of your shields expires or is removed, and a condensed display while solo (or for shamans without Earth Shield).
ShieldsUp was originally based on beSch, by Infineon.
Usage
Options are available in the Interface Options window. You can type “/sup” to open the window directly to the ShieldsUp panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why isn’t ShieldsUp monitoring my Earth Shield?
A: ShieldsUp only monitors Earth Shield when it’s cast on yourself, or on a player or pet in your party or raid group. There is no way for addons to reliably monitor buffs cast on other units, so ShieldsUp doesn’t try.
Q: Why am I only seeing one charge counter?
A: ShieldsUp switches to a single-counter display when you are solo, or if you don’t have the Earth Shield talent, since in either situation it’s only possible for you to have one shield active on a target ShieldsUp can monitor.
Localization
ShieldsUp is compatible with English, Deutsch (deDE), Español (esES/esMX), Français (frFR), Português (ptBR), Русский (ruRU), 한국어 (koKR), 简体中文 (zhCN), and 正體中文 (zhTW) game clients.
ShieldsUp is translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Русский, 简体中文, and 正體中文. If you can provide translations for any locale, please send me a PM.
Feature Requests
If there’s something you’d like to see added to ShieldsUp, feel free to submit a feature request ticket. Please keep in mind that ShieldsUp is intentionally limited in scope to locally monitoring your own shaman shields, and that requests for features outside of this scope will not be considered.

Hi Miisery,
I think you maybe posted on the wrong addon. ShieldsUp doesn’t have anything to do with murloc sounds. Or, maybe you had another addon registering a murloc sound, and you were using that sound in ShieldsUp. If that’s what you mean, then you’ll need to look at other addons you’ve recently updated or removed. The list of sounds ShieldsUp registers with the LibSharedMedia-3.0 library (which allows sharing sounds, fonts, and textures between addons that use the same library) hasn’t changed in a very long time.

So.. I realized today that my Murloc sound is missing. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm sad because all the other sounds besides Gong are too quiet for me to hear. That and Murlocs remind me of the water, so that's what I think of. =[
Was this planned or is it a bug? |

Hi Szyarah,
Thanks! Also, just for future reference, if you check the “Load out of date addons” box at the top of the addon panel on the login screen, WoW will try to load addons that haven’t been updated since the last patch. Most patches don’t break all addons, or even most addons, so this usually gets everything working again with a minimum of fuss. You’ll have to re-check the box after each patch, though.

Thank you!
I LOVE this addon, it's the best and I was very bummed when it went off with the patch. I have been using cheap imitations since then but am gladly switching back.

I’ve just posted a new version with all the changes Phanx had made since the last release (mainly adding WoW China compatibility) and a few other minor fixes (mainly eliminating leaked globals). I also updated the Spanish localization; I’m not greatly fluent, but I am better at it than Phanx.
We still need Korean translations, and the Russian localization is missing translations for a number of phrases. If you can help, please send me a PM! Version 4.0.3.105

Okay, the problem is that NeedjaTracker is overwriting the Blizzard API function "IsInInstance" with a custom function of the same name in the global namespace. I've notified the addon's author, but beyond that, there's nothing I can do in my own addon to fix or work around the problem.

GreedBeacon works the same and feels a bit "lighter" so no worries.

Well, after glancing at that addon's code, I need some of this:
 ...but I'll keep reading and see if I can figure out what the problem is. From the addon's changelog, though, it looks like it's still under heavy development, with tons of bugfix commits. |

Re: Alone
The ShieldsUp frame is not attached to anything, so it's unlikely another addon is hiding it by accident. Either it's intentionally hiding it (though I don't know why it would do that) or it's breaking some part of the WoW addon API (the set of functions addons use to create themselves and interact with the game). You'll have to enable your other addons one by one to figure out which one is causing the problem. Let me know which one it is, too, so I can try to see what it's actually doing wrong.

Try logging in with all addons disabled except for ShieldsUp. I'm not sure how another addon could be hiding the display unless that addon was explicitly written to hide the ShieldsUp frame, though.

Yes
Yes, I double checked every setting and reset to defaults. Played with all the sliders to see if I could get it on screen and hid every other element incase it was behind them. Something is hiding it.

Versions other than the current one are not supported, and are likely to not work. They were superceded by newer versions for a reason.
Anyway, did check your visibility settings as I suggested? If you're standing in town and have "Hide when resting" checked, or aren't in a group and have "Hide when solo" checked, for example, then the display being hidden is expected and correct behavior. |
