About Acherus Runes

Description

Acherus is a Death Knight addon providing displays for runes, procs, runic power, and diseases. A great effort has been put in to make all features customizable. Animations are provided to make it very easy to see when things become available and unavailable.

Enjoy!

Usage

Slash Command

To open the configuration type /ac or /acherus, click on the minimap button, or use a Data Broker display that's compatible with launchers.

Translation Request

I currently need translators to help convert the English in the menus into the following languages:

  • French
  • Korean
  • Latin American Spanish
  • Russian
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Spanish
  • Traditional Chinese

Go to the localization page if you'd like to translate. It's open to anyone with an account. Curse has a system setup so that phrases can be translated very fast and easily with no manual editing of files. Thanks!

FAQ

Acherus uses tons of memory / cpu!

This is just because it starts with "A" and is loading first in your setup, and getting blamed for all the resources used in shared libraries by all your addons. If you're concerned you can test by installing standalone versions of the libraries, especially Ace3. It's normal though; some addon always gets blamed for the shared libraries. It's not a real problem.

What was AcherusLoader?

AcherusLoader was a folder in older versions that helped the addon load only on Death Knight characters. Newer versions handle this differently. Now, if you forget to manually disable Acherus on a non-DK, it will disable itself. You can delete the old AcherusLoader folder if you still have it.

    It's unquestionable, that this is the best rune add on ever, whether it's customization or being visually pleasing. Honestly my DK wouldn't be as fun to play without this.

    I SERIOUSLY hope this add on updates itself in the near future and continues running for a long time.

    Line 46: 115798, -- Weakened Blows
    Line 109: maxtime = 30
    Line 270: if maxtime ~= 30 then self:UpdateDiseaseBar () end

    That should make the disease bit work

    Fixed the small guide.

    Yes you can either delete or comment out line 116 (better just comment out) but dont delete the whole function.

    Better just follow the provided steps.

    Fixes for MoP 5.0.4

    To make the addon working in MoP 5.0.4:

    All deseases now have 30 secs CD and no epidemic talent anymore:

    Open Acherus/Deseases.lua:

    1. Go to line 43 and replace spellids below with the following ids:

    59879, -- Blood Plague
    59921, -- Frost Fever
    81132, -- Scarlet Fever

    2. Line 116 should look like this (the talent does not exist anymore):

    --self:CountEpidemicPoints()

    3. Line 270 should look like this:

    if maxtime ~= 30 then self:UpdateDiseaseBar() end

    ---

    Hope that helps.

    The minimap icon continues to appear whenever you log in despite having the option to show it disabled. Is there any hope of someone picking up or maintaining this addon?

    I assume this addon is now dead?  I really loved the Runic Triangle Indicator...

    i've gone and done a quick fix to get it up to date for the current expansion(4.2). i'll be adjusting the credits and whatnot then submitting it as a fork and keeping up to date as best i can in the future, as acherus, as great as it is, seems to be dead right now.

    The "rune and bar spacing" feature under the spacing tab in the rune configuration does not appear to be working.
