About GetThatDude

Purpose

This addon is designed to make focusing a target easier in battlegrounds by putting markers above the enemy nameplates.

Blizzard does not allow raid-marking in PvP for good reason - they're visible all the way across the map. The indicator in this mod just attaches to nameplates much like "Healers Have to Die" does.

Usage

1) Download and extract the addon.

2) make 2 macros.

  • Macro 1: /gtd gtdtarggg
  • Macro 2: /gtd gtdtarggg2

The first macro will, when you have an enemy selected, put the rainbox drop over your targets head. Anyone *IN YOUR RAID* (not in your BG) will see that mark if they have the addon and are close enough to see the enemy nameplate.

The second macro does the same thing with the fainter green indicator.

If you want to use this just for yourself or for testing, you can use the macros: /gtd gtdself /gtd gtdself2

Other

This is pretty bare bones, but worked fine in both a rated and non-rated BG.

The critical aspect is that you have to be in a raid to use it. Even if you have just a party of 5, convert to raid if you wish to use this addon.

First incarnation.

    Could you update the graphics? Those aren't particularly easy to see. The default ones very much so are. Could you use those instead?

    I wouldn't want to use raid icons because most rated-bg teams already use them for their own healers.  If you would like to use a different graphic, you can over-write the .tga files called indicator.tga and indicator2.tga . 

    Find a graphic you like, scale it to 256x256, then save as a tga with transparency.  Over-write the one in the folder, and you can have it look however you'd like.

    If you create a good one and feel like sharing, and if I like it too, I'd be happy to include it in the distribution of the project with credit given.

    Quote from Zxman »I have installed the addon and only I can see the icon, is it dependant upon all in the raid group installing the addon?

    Correct - if they don't have it, they won't see the markers.
