- Slash command "/ot config"
There are several options you can enable or disable:
- Raid- and partychat warnings

- Audio warnings (plays an audio warning on your client when your taunt resisted, which is quiet valuable in combat situations)

Vancleef's last update:
''As you might have noticed there were no updates for quite a long time. This is due to the fact that I quit playing WoW some time ago. I have no plans to maintain this addon any further and therefore I marked it as "abandoned". Maybe there is someone out there who might adopt OptiTaunt - who kows? Thanks for all your suggestions, bug reports and kind words. Vancleef.''

Love this add on, have been using it for a long time. There is a bit of an issue tho. When protection paladins activate Devotion Aura, as it is now a defensive cooldown for raid/party, OptiTaunt announces that each person in the raid has the buff, and when it fades from each person, causing quite the raid chat spam (25 for active, 25 for fading). I have looked up and down, and aside from turning off all announces, I can not find a way to just turn off or restrict specific ones. Is that a feature I am just not seeing? If it is not, can this feature be made?
Posted update with fixes for paladin issues.
I uploaded a fixed version of v0.96 beta70 made by Skyl1ner.
Since I am low on time and busy with recoding CursorCastbar and Poisoner, leave Skyl1ner some feedback at the FanUpdate project site.
Yours, humfras
Hello!
Really need help with uninstalling this addon. I uninstalled it via Curse client, manually removed all configuration files (including Optitaunt folders in Interface/Addons and /WTF folders) and still it keeps announcing my tank cds in party and raid channels.
For example, I often see messages like +++ Anti-magic Shell (7 secs) +++ or +++ Vamparic Blood+++ (with its typo).
Is there anything else i can do to completely remove it and stop those messages?
This is no output by OptiTaunt. Simply because you seem to have removed it correctly (twice) and secondly because there is no typo in the Deathknight database and thirdly the default output format for such abilities is "+++ {a} activated ({d}s) +++".
Please ensure that you are not using another ability announce AddOn (e.g. RSA etc.)
Thanks for the help. It was ForteXorcist, addon that uses similar output format for cds :)
Any chance to get an update?
There is a chance. I'm just really busy because of exams and recoding CursorCastbar.
OptiTaunt is supposed to be rewritten too because I want to get rid of old-fashioned database and options structures and enhance CPU usage.
I look foward to it :)
Nice to hear
This is a really great addon, I like it a lot. I noticed one thing, though. If you have the menu open and spam one of the checkboxes (true,false,true,false) the menu 'box' will keep getting bigger and bigger. Not really important. Oh, and would there be a way to change the sounds to a shorter, more direct sound? Because I don't like the 'cartoony' sounds, to be honest. :)
1. The growing frame is caused by a flaw in the DewDropList. Since this is easily fixed by reopening and OptiTaunt wont be using it with the rewritten version, I won't fix it
2. You can replace the 'combo.ogg' file in the ''Interface\AddOns\OptiTaunt\Sounds\'-folder with anything you like.
Have you considered adding major raid/healer CD's to the supported abilities? For instance the Holy Paladin's Aura Mastery or the Priest's Divine Hym. I think this would open the addon up to the whole of the WoW community. :)
I did and already give it a try with 0.96 beta70.
I am currently rewriting OptiTaunt from scratch because the old system had some limitations.
The new system uses Ace3 and is more user-friendly with more customization (e.g. adding spells ingame, unique messages etc).
