About Simple Threat Meter
I'm out of here
This game has become too frustrating for me to play any more - so I wont be up-dateing this addon. I'm not the owner so I can't add you to the project
Players are nice - bugs are frustrating
DESIGN
Simple Threat Meter is a lightweight mod that displays your threat level on your current target as a bar. It's there when you want it to be and gone when you don't need it.
The bar displayed fills up from 0% to 100%. When it hits 100%, that's the point where you pull aggro off the tank.
This uses the BUILT-IN Blizzard threat values, so is guaranteed to be 100% correct, and is also based upon your distance to the target.
FEATURES
- Displays threat in a single, visually pleasing, bar format.
- Lightweight, uses Blizzard threat% values, rather than having to calculate all the time.
- Now includes sounds! A number of configurable audio warnings for when your threat level is too high.
- Horizontal or Vertical bar modes, with various layout options for text.
- Threat bar coloured based upon your current threat. Goes from green, through yellow to red.
- Has many built in sounds & textures, to make sure it can fit in with how you like your user interface to look. Supports sharedmedia.
- Highly configurable display conditions: solo/group/raid; with pet; in/out of combat and many more.
- Can be set to automatically disable when you activate certain talent builds, so it switches itself off when you're tanking, but is on when you're in a dps role.
CONFIGURATION AND USAGE
To open the configuration panel, type the command: /stm or access through the standard add-ons configuration menu.
The configuration options themselves should be fairly clear.
The threat bars are also click-through when locked, meaning that they don't get in the way and stop you clicking on targets. You can also configure a transparency level, so you can see through the bars.
BACKGROUND
Omen does such a great job that I haven't seen many other threat meters developed, but with the complexity of some fights, I wanted something that doesn't take up much space on my screen and keeps me aware of my current threat level, but allows me to focus on the fight at hand.
So, Simple Threat Meter was born.
For reference, when using Omen or another threat meter, the values you need to be aware of:
110% - you will pull aggro from the tank if you are in melee range.
130% - you will pull aggro from the tank if you are further than melee.
With Simple Threat Meter, you just need to watch for 100%.
F.A.Q.
Q. Will you add support to show threat for multiple targets, such as offtanks or for my target's target for a healer?
A. No. That goes against the core design philosophy of this mod. It shows YOUR threat against what YOU are attacking.
Q. Can you make it so it goes up to 130%, as that's when I actually pull aggro.
A. Again, this is against the core design, that no matter whether you're at range or in melee, you only need to watch for the bar to go up to 100% to know where your danger level is.
Q. How did you get so much threat on a rabbit with out killing it ?
A. The images are just for the purposes of demonstration and I used a debug command to display an artificial level of threat for my target. :)
Q. I found a bug/want a change?
A. Please log them as a ticket at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/project-7738/tickets/. Please check if the same bug regport/feature request already exists

Well thats a bit embarassing, the codes wrong- no way I could of tested it - I have to get another account to test with though - So it will take a little longer
I'll post a new version when Ive got another account setup, and workingas I've just remembered the starter account is now free
Hey there - Im still getting the line 833 error described below. It'd not impacting functionality at all so Im not stressing it but I noticed in your post below it looked like you had fixed and Im wondering if mine just didnt get pushed or if there was something on the technical end. No other posts since 8/31 so Im thinking it might be on my end, I'll try a complete delete & reinstall later.
Thanks RJ!
I've been away for the last two weeks - I'll look into ths
I still get error in line 833 of Core.lua as well.
Line 833 error here too

Sorry about this - I' got a loan of a freinds account and I've been trying out the full logic of the app - the display works ok but when to hide and show seems a bit bugged (which is where the Blizzard API has changed)
That is I'm in a group but I said dont show when solo - and its been hidden
I will get onto this next week for the moment you may need to wokr around this by changing the check boxes on the options (type /STM)
I think it may jst be the show when Solo as the hide out of combat seems to work
oh I made a mistake somewhere - I fixed that one yet the code has reverted back I'm just re-doing it now
Thanks for the update - I'm getting a small error

Not working in 5.0
I too am hoping for an update. I am trying to use this for the first time, haven't seen it in game yet. Hope I will soon. The addon is enabled and loaded but nothing appears on screen, not even after combat starts.

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/project-7738/tickets/14-update-for-5-0-4/
Well I am a coder and the addon looks quite useful - I've just started coding in WOW and have been looking around for addons to take over.
So I got myself added to the authors and hve made a rather cursory test of the code and upated it, as BETA
It seems to be working fine - I attacked a few things but only solo
I'm out for a week so no other changes will happen till I'm back
If you do want changes please log them as tickets (http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/project-7738/create-ticket/) other wise I might miss them.
Thanks for this. Whilst I'm no longer playing WoW myself, I appreciate that someone liked the mod enough that they would want to continue updating it. :)
Thank you to the author for the time you have been here and supplied this wonderful addon!
