Vocal Raid Assistant

[Nitrak]

Hello WoW-Interface-Community .

I have made and addon (not from scratch), that will help raiders, and more importantly raid-leaders, keeping track of what cooldowns that are being cast in realtime (Example given, Tranquility, Divine Hymn, Healing Tide Totem and more). This can often be hard to notice from various sources on your screen, and can end up cluttering your UI.

Instead this addon tells you vocally what cooldowns are being casts (you can customize which you wanna hear).

You can download the addon here:
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/vocalraidassistant

I would love feedback (You can post here or on Curse), both positive and negative, so i can try and improve the addon. I really think this can be a good asset to a progressing raiding guild.


Cheers

Why not upload the addon here on WoWI? Once you've set it up, it only takes a minute to upload each new version... since it doesn't look like you're using version control on Curse either, it probably takes longer to upload a new version there than it would take you to upload it here.

I'll be getting it uploaded here one of these days .

Tbh, dno why i haven't used the repository, i'm just making a zip-file everytime i make a new version . I'll look into using the SVN

But 1.0.3 just came out, a lot of nice new features, atm just have one big hurdle i'm working on.

I am trying to make a feature for individual selection of who you want to hear buff application on, although i find it hard (still very new to lua) to make a frame that updates as players update in group.

I am trying to bind: PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED but because of CallbackHandler i get an error that i have to bind it to a function, and if i try and bind it to a function (which i would assume it would run when the event is called), nothing ever happens. So i'm at a bit of a loss .

I'm pretty sure that event is obsolete and you need GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE instead.

Okay, i'll give it a go, will look at it tomorrow - But as i said, still very new to making UI's, so i find out stuff as i go!

Thank you for your hint. With your hint and some more googleling i finally made it work .

1.0.4 is now uploaded on both curse and WoW-Interface! - It is looking good!

I don't know if this technically is considered bumping, but just wanted to let interested parties know that just uploaded version 1.0.5 for approval (Both here and on curse), here is the change log:

Version 1.0.5
Added Cooldown Bar
Added Defensive Buff Bar
Added Offensive Buff Bar
(NOTE: All the bar's will receive further updates)
Added class color to Individual Buff
Added abilities:
- Icebound Fortitude
- Dancing Rune Weapon
- Vampiric Blood
- Barkskin
- Might of Ursoc
- Survival Instincts
- Fortifying Brew
- Guardian of Ancient Kings
- Argent Defender
- Divine Protection
- Divine Shield
- Shield Wall
- Last Stand
- Demoralizing Shout

I think you guys really will like the new bars i added, although they are still primitive (You can't add and remove abilities from them yourself).

Any feedback regarding the bars is highly appreciated, as this was a very big leap for me, and hopefully there is no "kinks", but you never know!
