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.

Morsk:
    - Fixed typos; the last commit had the wrong version of some code.
    - Forward-compatible with 4.2 PTR's new CLEU args.

    Any word on an update? I've made and several great suggestions to improve this addon but it is unclear to me if the addon is still being maintained. I love the addon and hope to continue to see it kept up to date as well as some improvements made regarding the option for disease display, etc.

    I Just reset my profile for Acherus and fixed the number issue. I cant adjust the offset of the 2 digit offset under normal position though which would be nice because there a little off center.

    This addon prevents Button Forge (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/button-forge.aspx) from working. I know nothing about how either addon works, and would like to know if there is a way I could fix this as I'm forced to decide which of the two to use on my Death Knight. :(

    Hi Kollektiv, thanks for updating this great addon. If posible, would you be able to implement more customizable options for the disease timers? Personally I like to have mine set up similar to the "pipe bar" option for runes where they are just customizable bars with customizable font/time display. Thanks for your continued work on this addon.

    I would like to report 2 bugs:
    When i have acherus runes enabled i can't use the 'Zoom' function of Bartender4 (it hides the borders of the default blizzard icons on the action bars).
    I have the show minimap icon disabled, but sometimes it's on the minimap anyway. If i enable than disable the option it is hidden again, but after a reload ui it's back.

    I've updated this for Cata and 4.1.

    - No more AcherusLoader folder; Acherus can handle disabling itself.
    - Supports AddonLoader.
    - Adjustments for 2-digit timers, fixes overlapping.
    - Only show sparks when in bounds of the bar.
    - Added proc for Will of the Necropolis.
    - Option to disable procs individually.
    - Fixed duration of Killing Machine.
    - Fixed packaging issues with some libraries.
    - Fixed Epidemic. (It's Rnwo's fix from comments here.)

    I also added Scarlet Fever since it was requested and discussed in comments, but I'm interested in feedback about whether there's any point in doing it since 4.0.6 tied it to Blood Plague.

    I had the same problem but had been ignoring it, but I just figured it out. Do you use PitBull or another unit frame mod? My problem was that I had disable the Runes Module in Pit which was causing Pit to fight with Acherus over the over control of the default runes. However, when I enabled the Runes Module in Pit but disabled it's use by the unit frame poof... no more default runes.

    I may have fixed this in my updated version. It was probably due to Acherus Runes using a very old copy of a library also used by Button Forge.

    All I want from this addon is the Rune Tracker, but it seems that the original Blizzard runes keep showing up even if I disable them.

    Anybody know what causes that? Never got an error for that...

    I don't encounter this issue using Acherus Runes and X-Perl. If you can say which combination of mods you're using (e.g. something other than X-Perl), I can look into it.
