Faceroller

Version: 0.2.9

by: hungtar [More]

please accept my apology for abandoning this addon and not answering your support requests.

I don't play wow anymore and thus any request will remain unaswered.

What is Faceroller?

Faceroller is an addon in the spirit of Event Horizon with the look of Faceshooter. It's focus lies on using a minimal amount of screen space while showing anything you need to know at the moment.

It will show you only one icon on the screen: the highest priority ability, which should be used next. Once the ability was used, it will reevaluate all cooldowns and debuffs on your target and present you the next spell.

As this needs tracking of cooldowns and debuffs and making decisions what to suggest when, Faceroller is split into modules. And to get some use out of Faceroller, you will need a module that fits your talent spec (See below for a list of modules).

You will get little or no use out of Faceroller if your toon is below level 80!

What Faceroller is NOT

First and foremost, Faceroller is not all knowing. It only keeps track of your current target and therefore can assist you only with a single target.

How to use Faceroller

First, you will need a module that works with your spec. There are currently modules available for the following specs:

Warrior:
- Arms
- Fury
- Prot 1 (included, experimental*, by Opaque)
- Prot 2
Shadow Priest
Balance Druid
Deathknight:
- Frost 1 (included, experimental*, by hectolight, module name: dkdwfrost)
- Frost 2 (included, experimental*, by Kallsuh, module name: dkdwfrost_Kall)
- unholy
- blood
Paladin:
- Retribution
- Prot (included, experimental*, by lloydbates)
Warlock:
Hunter:
- mm/sv/bm hunters (included, all in one module named simplehunter)
Shaman:
- Enhancement (included)
- Elemental (included, experimental*)
Mage:
- FFB (included, experimental*)
- Arcane (included, experimental*)
Rogue:
- Combat

* These modules may not always work as expected. If they don't, please leave a comment.

If you see the message "init failed for module ... (Reason: none given)" enable debug output with /fr debug. Make sure your character knows all the spells, required by the module you are using, before reporting it as a bug!

Install a module of your choice along with Faceroller. Start WoW. You can fire up the GUI with /fr config or by clicking on the LDB plugin (if you have a broker display).

Note: Faceroller rememberrs different modules for both specs, if you have dual spec. If you switch specs for the first time after installing Faceroller, don't forget to configure!

Note: All modules require your character to be level 80 to work!

Getting started with your own module

Writing your own module can be as easy as editing a lua table. See Faceroller_EasyExample (included in the zip) for an example how that works.

If the possibilities provided by the Easy* API are too restraining, you will need some knowledge of lua or you will have a hard time writing your own module. Have a look at Faceroller_ExampleModule (included in the zip). It's a simple module that does the same as Faceroller_EasyExample but with a more complex API. The comments are quiet extensive and should give you a good overview how things work.

The module Faceroller_SimpleEnhancementShaman uses a mixture of both and might help you as well with getting started.

Also, have a look at the documentation at github. If you have further questions, leave a comment.

Want to share your module?

If you wrote a module but you don't want to maintain it yourself, i can include it in the zip here. Just send me a PM or leave a comment where i can find your module. Note: since i won't be able to test all modules, new included modules will be marked as experimental for a few weeks. If too many people complain about an experimental module, it will get deleted. So please make sure it really works.

Following is a (possibly incomplete) list of specs, for which there is currently no module:

Feral Druid
Rogue: assassination, subtlety

Vetus A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 59 Uploads: 0	2 questions An awesome mod in my opinion But I have 2 questions... 1) (Might be a big n00b question) What does the corner indicators indicate? 2) I have a question about the shot priorities... Faceroller appears to value Serpent Sting slightly higher that Aimed Shot, but most of what I read says the opposite is true... I am not pointing fingers, because different folks have different opinions... But could I ask why it's that way?

Hmm, still in the dark

What do you mean by "for it to work"? When you target something, does it show nothing or only the coffee mug? Are there error messages in the chat frame?

Edit:
To make sure this is not an addon conflict, can you please try what happens with all other addons disabled?

hungtar A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 151 Uploads: 9	hmm, that looks like it should. Or does your char have dual spec and the problem occurs with the secondary spec? Either way, i have trouble reproducing the problem. And to be honest, i have no idea what the issue producing the problem could be. As i understood, when you login, choose a module, then logout and back in, the module you choose before is just forgot about and you have to select it again. Is that what you are doing and what is failing or something else?

Re: Two glitch's

Using the latest update I found 2 glitch's. First one is, with my hunter and using the hunter module. it is not saving between sessions. I have to open the config window each time when logging in and re-select the module in order to work.

Second glitch is minor. I use a add-on called Freerefills which so happens to use the same command slash command /fr. I have to spell out /faceroller each time to get the command. You may want to add or modify another slash, maybe /froll or /face or some such. Have you considered making a keybind for this?

Thanks for the hard work.

Will add another slash command in the next version. Concerning the first bug: there were some problems in earlier versions that caused variables for the primary spec to be saved to the secondary spec.

Can you please check the saved variables file for your hunter if that is happening again? The file is WTF/Account/<wow account name>/<realm>/<char-name>/SavedVariables/Faceroller.lua and the variables i'm interested in are "primary_module" and "secondary_module".

Re: Moonkin

Originally posted by loganvi
Moonkin module up.

Noticed a couple things doing this one. First, had to make a check for a specific talent (improved faerie fire). pasting the function below in case you want to wrap it into your API

The second thing is that you can't determine the difference between the two flavors of Eclipse (solar/lunar) with your standard buff reading. The GetSpellInfo() function for both IDs returns simply "Eclipse". Pain in the ass. I had to check UnitAura and actually look at the icon to determine which "eclipse" was up. Thanks for that Blizzard!

So that's not a problem with the API at all but I'm not sure if any other classes have similar two-sided buffs that may cause future module authors this problem.

The code to check a talent: (usage PlayerHasTalent("Improved Faerie Fire", 3))

Code:

function PlayerHasTalent(talent_name, rank) local numTabs = GetNumTalentTabs(); for t=1, numTabs do local numTalents = GetNumTalents(t); for i=1, numTalents do nameTalent, icon, tier, column, currRank, maxRank= GetTalentInfo(t,i); if(nameTalent == talent_name and currRank == rank) then return true end end end return false end

Nice work! again!

link added to the info page.

I added .icon to buffs and debuffs in 0.0.24 to ease the pain a little. But yeah, buffs with the exact same name, with an API (UnitAura) that does not return spell ids, is terribad. When i wrote the aura code for FR, i wanted the buff/debuff tables to have spell ids but eventually had to settle with names. It's a real PITA when you think about localization. If UnitAura would return spell ids, instead of names, the whole gsi_mt (that Faceroller.gsi stuff) would not be needed. But enough with the UnitAura bashing

I would love to add something to checks for talents. The thing is, it should work without any need for localisation on the module side. GetTalentInfo(talent tab, some index) by it self does not need localisation, you just need to know both indices. Now, finding these values is something you need to do once for each talent. And a PlayerHasTalent(talent_name) function would need a lot of localization. At the moment, i don't have any intention to to collect and maintain the localization needed for that.

(There is a Ace library that provides localization for talent tree names but unfortunately not for all talents. If there were such a beast, that would be a different story).

awesome. I hope to have a moonkin module out later this week. I'll be trying the new API, looks pretty simple though I'm not sure I totally grok it yet.

Either way, the other API is brilliant. Putting the affliction module together was a 20 minute ordeal, most of which was just testing!
