About ArenaLive Spectator

Important: Normal UnitFrame Version

Because I got asked by many people to create a normal unitframe addon with the exact same design as ArenaLive, I decided to create an addon. You can find it here: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/arenalive-unitframes

ArenaLive Spectator

ArenaLive Specatoator's use is it to enable people to organise WoW-Arena Tournaments in an easy manner and it tries to bring some kind of spectator mode into World of Warcraft.

IMPORTANT: Since the newest version of the addon disables the "Enter Match" button of the static popup, that shows up whenever an arena or battleground queue pops, for 1 minute and 15 seconds, make sure to disable ArenaLive first, before you queue for normal BGs and arenas. Otherwise it could prevent you from joining the matches.

Features:

  • Scoreboard including a match timer with a changable timelimit and teamnames
  • Unitframes including castbars, portrait overlays for defensive cooldowns and CC, trinket- and racial cooldown tracker and a casthistory with targetindicator ( the last actions of the unit are shown below the castbars. The border around these icons is colored in the class color of the actions' targets. Up to a maximum of 6 icons is shown simultaneously)
  • Target and TargetofTarget frames
  • Graphical Countdown
  • Cooldown tracker for both teams
  • Functions to hide standard UI's frames
  • Whitelisted Buffs to only show important ones
  • Tidyplates theme that is fitting in to the rest of the addons design (optional)

How to work with the Addon (3v3)

  1. Read the readme.htm inside the addon folder to set up the AddOn correctly
  2. Queue a 5vs5 Wargame
  3. Let the 6 players join and wait until the gates are open (this way players can still use their arena1,2,3 macros)
  4. Join the game
  5. Open the addOn menu with /al menu
  6. Insert the player names and realms into the respective textfields
  7. Let the enemy team kill you
  8. Hide Blizzard's standardUI and start the countdown
  9. Enjoy the match

What this AddOn is not

  • ArenaLive isn't a real spectator mode, it is just a unitframeset that is designed like one.
  • ArenaLive isn't designed for everyday arena usage, but for tournaments/wargames only.

Additional Notes

  • You can now follow me on twitter to get information about coming updates for ArenaLive and to contact me.
  • OmniCC and TidyPlates complement the addon.
