About Telepathy

Telepathy is the induction of mental states from one mind to another.

In WoW terms, this addon provides an extension of a players normal skill set, joining the minds of raid and party members into one awesome whole, together capable of feats never before dreamed possible.

Most Important: Telepathy is nothing alone - try it with your friends to see its true power!

What Is It?

Telepathy is an addon aimed at allowing players to share their spell books, as well as see each other's cooldowns. The idea is that you publish an ability from your spell book via Telepathy, which is then added to your party/raid members' Telepathy Spell Books. They can then choose from the list of fellow player's published abilities which ones they would like to use in combat. The ability is added to a Combat Window, which monitors the cooldown of that ability, and allows the player to send an instruction to use the ability to the owning player.

Instructions (User Guide)

  • Open the Telepathy Spell Book by using the slash command /telepathy (or /tele).
  • Drag the abilities you want to publish to the lower bar of the Spell Book - there will be two bars if you have dual spec enabled.
  • Right-click on your ability in the Spell Book to remove it.
  • In the top pane of the Spell Book are your party members' published abilities - left click to add to the Combat Window, right click to remove from the Combat Window.
  • During combat, you will see the abilities you have chosen to watch in the Combat Window, including the cooldowns for those abilities.
  • Left-click on another player's ability in the Combat Window to send that player a request to use the ability.
  • When you receive a request, your ability will light up in the Combat Window (and possibly play a sound, depending on your settings).
  • Clicking on one of your abilities in the Combat Window will cast the ability (it is an action button).

I recommend using this addon with OmniCC to get the cooldown timers nicely displayed on the buttons.

Anyone who can help with translations, please visit the Localization tab on the WowAce site for Telepathy, it would be greatly appreciated!

Notes and To Do List

On the To Do list:

  • Smarter/more efficient spell list updates when joining a group
  • Better animation effect for ability requests
  • Layout improvements
  • Full item support
  • Code cleanup (the code is all over the place, as this is pretty much the first addon I am releasing so I was learning along the way)

    Hey Arclight555. Since MoP has made them a lot more important than ever, how hard would it be to implement healthstone cooldowns for everyone in the raid? It's an item and not a spell so I assume it would require a lot of work but I hope it doesn't.

    I looked for an addon that can give a raidwide overview of healthstone cooldowns but haven't found it yet.

    Hi - yes indeed, one of the original goals of the addon was cooldown and item tracking combined. It is possible, just slightly more tricky. I am definitely going to be adding that feature.

    Any chance at including a disable window function to hide it without turning the addon off? I dont have much open real estate for my ui, and my raid leader likes us using this addon.

    Hi

    There are two things you can do here: resize the combat window by dragging the bottom right hand corner to make it smaller, or if you want the frames hidden completely just type "/telepathy hide". Also have a look at the configuration options in the Interface -> Addons menu, you can detach the "foreign abilities" panel from your own abilities and move each frame separately.

    Hope this helps - Arclight

    First time using this, I have MY spells done, how do I add other people's spells? I don't really see a "directory" per se.

    Hi, to see someone else's spells, you will need to be in a party or raid with them and they must also have published the spells they want you to see via Telepathy. Then you can start tracking those spells and request their use during combat.

    tell me how to work it, instead of when its actually working

  • #2

    Hi

    I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean? For usage instructions, please see the "Usage" section in the addon description above.

    Is there something in particular I can help with?
