About Stealth Alerter

Stealth Alerter detects if someone near you uses a stealth ability.  I originally wrote this AddOn because a very annoying Rogue named Ýes hangs out in Wintergrasp on the Shu'halo server where people are fishing.  I've also found it useful in raids, battlegrounds and arenas.  The following actions are detected: Invisibility (Mage), Invisibility Potion, Lesser Invisibility Potion, Prowl (Druid), Shadowmeld (Night Elf), Stealth (Rogue), Vanish (Rogue) and Camouflage (Hunter).  "/sal on" enables Stealth Alerter and "/sal off" disables it.  "/sal" while enabled lists all options and settings.

Version 0.99.13 2011/12/03

  • TOC bump and update for 4.3.0.

Version 0.99.12 2011/06/30

  • TOC bump and update for 4.2.0.

Version 0.99.11 2011/05/07

  • TOC bump and update for 4.1.0a.
  • Removed Rogue Stealth movement penalty description, since it was removed.
  • Fixed a typo.
  • Looked into adding Rogue Smoke Bomb casts, but it looks to be impossible because the cast doesn't show up in the combat log.

Version 0.99.10 2010/12/17

  • Now works with 4.0.3a.
  • Added Goblin and Worgen races.
  • Added Hunter Camouflage cast.
  • Added more nil race pointer checks to prevent crashes and Lua errors. It's unclear to me how race would ever be nil, but apparently it is sometimes.

Version 0.99.9 2010/10/23

  • Added a "nofriendly" option to hide friendly actions and only show enemy actions.
  • Added a "terse" option that hides the race and duration in messages.
  • Updated Rogue 4.0.1 ability levels.
  • Looked into adding player level, it looks impossible due to limitations in the Blizzard APIs and the way I wanted to do it.
  • TOC bump for 4.0.1.

Version 0.99.8 2010/05/27

  • Added player race to messages so that they now read "Player (race) ...".

Version 0.99.7 2009/12/09

  • Updated for Prowl and Stealth rank changes in 3.3.

Version 0.99.6 2009/12/05

  • Added the duration for Invisibility (20 seconds) in the message.
  • TOC bump for 3.3.

Version 0.99.5 2009/10/30

  • Fixed a typo that would cause an Lua error for Horde characters.

Version 0.99.4 2009/10/28

  • Added color coding to the messages to make it more obvious who cast the ability. Casts from friendly players are printed in blue and casts from hostile players are printed in red.

Version 0.99.3 2009/08/24

  • Fixed a typo that could cause an Lua error if Stealth Alerter was disabled.

Version 0.99.2 2009/08/21

  • Removed some code used for debugging that printed a message when Hunters cast Misdirection.

Version 0.99.1 2009/08/12

  • Several scoping fixes that could cause strange interactions with other AddOns.

Version 0.99.0 2009/08/12

  • Initial release.

    Is there any chance this add-on is ever going to be updated? It's gonna be patch 5.3 soon and as of 5.1 it hasn't been working for me. Please update it or let us know if anyone else will take over instead, I really miss this add-on!

    Patch 5.1:

    Line 2 & 3 of the LUA signify race checks. Simply add "Pandaran" to this list of races, in both lines. In general, the addon will work. The feature which disabled friendly notify would become quite buggy, as Pandaran are of both factions. Removing them from either Alliance or Horde race lists will cause the addon to be inoperable. Simply put, don't use the selective feature and only use the on/off option for overall. This will get you up and running until the devs update this addon. Beautiful addon!!!

    any chance u can make a simple feature to allow for the use of sound effects when a stealt alert message pops in case u are in another chat window or perhaps theres too much spam in the chat window. love the addon and it can be handy but i think a simple sound effect could boost its usefullness tons. especially if it allows the use of custom sounds.

    It's exactly the same problem that a guy reported in aug/2010 in here: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/stealth-alerter/tickets/1-doesnt-work-with-ru-ru/

     

    Seems that Stealth Alerter doesn't like localizations :-(

    The local function SearchTable that starts on line 8 in the StealthAlerter.lua file is being passed a nil value as the second argument, which in turn screws the pairs function over because it requires a table value.  There really should be error trapping in any function that requires specific types. To solve the issue, at line 9 put this:

    if ( (not table) or (type(table) ~= "table") ) then return false; end

    Hope that helps.

    This is the one addon I've recomeneded for ages. Yet, people still aren't smart enough to download it, do, here, your addon has saved my #$@ multiple times and continues to do so, keep it up.

    Please grab 0.99.13 which is updated for patch 4.3.  Though nothing has changed.  If you are still having a problem, please let me know exactly what is happening.
