TellMeWhen (Fan Update) 

I am unable to reproduce this issue using my local copy, which has a fix for disabled icons that I sent to Ooze a few weeks back, and hence the line numbers don't match up.

I get no error when I mount, pet dismissed or not.

1) what version are you using?
2) does your Icon Settings differ from the following at all?
Name = "Spell Lock"
Enable Icon = Checked
Icon Type = Cooldown
Show Icon When = Unusable
Show Timer = Checked

The only annoying issue I see is that I have to unlock and relock the addon with my felhunter out in order to get it to find the "Spell Lock" ID in the first place. A lot of the "enable/disable" and other initialization code is handled in odd places and these little issues would best be resolved with an entire rewrite. Unfortunately I don't have time currently to sit down and do that.

I have set a cooldown for my pet's spell. This error occurs when i'm mounted, when my pet is dismissed. Hope you'll correct this quickly. I love your addon.

thx taigen

i never saw the enable option, new in this version and i did not notice i had to enable each button, everything works perfect now

thx for the help i spend hours trying to figure it out

@Downset---If you'll scroll down a bit in the comments, you'll see the author's response on why the error is ocurring.

The quick response is one of two possibilites. Based on your problems with the mod not showing anything for you, my guess is that you set up all your buff/debuffs/whatever and TMW recognizes them. However you failed to enable the buttons so not only is it erroring but it wont show you anything you ask it to show you. Basically you've told it "here, this is what I want you to show me but I'm not gonna turn you on so that you can do your job."

The other possibility is that you did indeed enable most of your buttons but not all of them and the reason it isn't showing you anything is unrelated to the error you posted. However, those buttons you did not enable ARE causing the error you posted. Basically I am saying it could be 2 separate problems but I suspect my first guess is the correct one. Hope it helps.

i love the new additions to the original tmw and am very glad someone took over this great add-on

however i just installed 1.2.0 on a clean wow install (also installed bagnon, dominos, titan panal and shadowed unit frames) and i can configure tmw, i see all the frames, tmw recognizes the buffs i add but it doesn't work (it never shows anything)

then when i relog i get following lua error immediately upon logging in, i have this on multiple chars, also with all other add-ons disabled.

It tracks the buff itself (if any), but it doesn't give a timer nor can it detect totems that doesnt give a buff (like magma totem)

and thx for the reply about buttonfacade/ractionbuttonstyler and i hope it works well

Do you plan a feature that enables you to drap-drop a spell/ability to each button available? Sure makes it easier than to type in each spell necessary, specially when u have a lot of alts.

EDIT: or at least add spells via SpellID, since spells with the same name (like Sacred Shield) does different things and have different IDs.

EDIT2: Would like to see rActionBarStyler or ButtonFacade support

EDIT3: Sry for the many edits, but i always thinking of new stuff as it work with it more and more and with different characters

... but it doesnt seems to be able to track totem buff timers. any plans to be able to track specific "untimely" timers?

EDIT4: and one last thing...
for example, on my DK, i want to track death and decay for its own cooldown, but instead it gets tracked everytime my runes is on cooldown :S very annoying...

Yea I already sent the fix for this to Ooze. For now just don't use disabled icons.

For me, Grp 3 icon 1 is supposed to show a debuff thrown off by the Mistresses during the Lord Jaraxxus encounter in TOC10 heroic. Now that you mention it, I do believe it is disabled and that would explain why it wouldn't show up the other day during the fight, LOL.

Also, does this bug also cover the little resizing triangles showing up randomly on the screen upon login? I commented about it earlier... not sure if you noticed it. Typing /tmw /tmw does fix that issue also, but it's pretty annoying to keep doing that if i have to switch a few times from my alt.

Overall though--loving this addon and hope you continue the updates. Thanks =)

What version are you using?

I noticed this also when trying to set this up for an enh shaman friend of mine. Would be useful logic to add in the rewrite which needs to handle customizable logic rules.

Group3 Icon1 is a disabled reactive icon?

If so, this bug is known and the fix will be released in next version.

For now just type /tmw /tmw to "fix" it , or clear the disabled icon settings.

In addition to getting the same erorr I posted below, I am now having problems with the bars when i switch specs. They stay hidden except for the resizing triangle--it just appears on the screen and I have to unlock and lock TMW in order to get them to disappear again. The errors seem totally to have to do with dual-spec as my single-specced warlock never has an issue but my resto/enh shaman does.

I usually disable new addons that give me this much trouble but this one is defintely unique and very handy so I want to stick with it but the errors are giving me a headache. Please look into fixing the bugs ( and if you have time doing something about Maelstrom weapon =P )
