About Yor'sahj Automatic RaidWarnings

Addon instantly showing a /raidwarning with which color ooze (globule) to kill and with what to do afterwards (like stacking up), each time the globules spawn at the Yor'sahj the Unsleeping raid encounter.

The raid warnings show the optimal solution for all three difficulty levels, based on the Yor'sahj strategy found on the Icy Veins website, with the addition that Purple will always be killed on Raid Finder and Normal difficulty, to prevent wipes caused by healers not understanding the Deep Corruption debuff.

The addon has different settings for Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulty, and will automatically switch to the correct difficulty upon entering the Dragon Soul instance. In case you change the difficulty while being inside the instance, you can switch between the three settings ingame through the following slash commands:

/yor rf - Raid Finder mode

/yor normal - Normal mode

/yor heroic - Heroic mode

/yor off - no warnings will be shown

/yor help - short help menu

--------------------

This addon is especially useful if you queue as raid leader through the LookingForRaid system, or if you just want to make sure that you don't experience unnecessary wipes on this boss.

The addon is also helpful for guilds doing normal or heroic mode; especially on heroic where the enrage is tight, this addon can make a small difference.

If you happen to disagree with the default strategies for any of the difficulties, we suggest you edit the (easily editable) .lua file, so the addon will show your personal choice for each combination of globules. For the instructions to do this, just open the .lua file, and you will see them.

--------------------

IMPORTANT: you need to be raid leader, or have assistant, for the /raidwarnings to show up of course!

--------------------

All feedback is appreciated!

v1.2f Updated for patch 5.0.4.

v1.2e Added command to turn off the addon: '/yor off'.

v1.2d Fixed error where the addon shows the wrong text when entering heroic mode DS.

v1.2c Upon entering Dragon Soul, the addon is now automatically set to the correct raid difficulty (raid finder, normal, heroic). Heroic mode default presets changed on a few combinations to make the fight on heroic as easy as possible for an average raid group. These new presets are final, and are based on the experience of several raiders, guides and forum posts.

v1.2b Fixed bug with warnings showing multiple times (credits to Nponobeghuk), changed 2 kill colors on HC difficulty to be in line with the Icy-Veins priority, added colored marks to the raid warnings.

v1.2a Changed kill color on two combinations on LFR to be in line with the Icy-Veins strategy.

v1.2 Working for Yor'sahj heroic mode now, also added ingame changing between 3 presets: Raid Finder mode, Normal mode and Heroic mode.

v1.1 Lua file made more user friendly to edit, with easy instructions inside.

v1.0 Initial Release

    Hi

    I have notice that when I use /yor normal it seems to lose the setting if u wipe at any time it seems to set itself to h mode after

    This is a great addon and thak you for all the work you have put into it. But since the updated version for Patch 5.0.4 both myself and the other raid leader in my guild have noticed a bug. The addon will automatically set to heroic mode no matter how the instance is set when we walk in. We could not figure out why it was announcing the wrong mob, until we happened to notice last night about the automatic setting. Now that we know this is happening, we know to set it to regular. Just wondering if this is something that can be corrected with an update, or did Blizz screw it. Then again, it is only 3 weeks or so till the new expansion.

    Hello everyone, unfortunately both the authors have had a busy year so far, so we didn't have any time to work on addons. Seeing that an 'off'-command seems to be wanted, we have uploaded a new version (1.2e) that will includes the command.

    The command is: /yor off

    You can enable the warnings again by /yor normal, /yor heroic, etc. Sorry that it took so long, and a big thanks for the people who helped out with suggesting to manually add this command!

    Plz add the following options:

     /yor off - will turn the addon off

    /yor - will show the help, same as /yor help 

  • #91

    can we have a command to disable the mod while in game? 

    the mod is awesome but there are always 2-3 people in every raid that think they know better which color to kill, so the mod ends up calling out one color and the know-it-alls call out a different color.  at that point, dps splits and nothing dies, wipe ensues.

    find the script below 8. Slash menu and add the bolded text.  now /yor off turns it off.  beware, wipes (well, zoning back in) will reset this, so do it anytime you are at the boss and don't want to announce.
    note: you can also set custom priorities in here as well (right before the function i quoted... or "section 7")

    function YOR_SlashHandler(msg, editbox)
    local arg1, arg2, rest = string.split(" ", msg);

    if (arg1 == "help") then
    print "***Available commands:***";
    print " /yor rf - Raid Finder mode";
    print " /yor normal - Normal mode";
    print " /yor heroic - Heroic mode";
    print "*To edit the raid warnings for each mode, please open the .lua file with a text editor like notepad, and follow the instructions inside.";
    elseif (arg1 == "rf") then
    print "--Yorsahj: Mode set to warnings for Raid Finder."
    YORmode = 1
    elseif (arg1 == "normal") then
    print "--Yorsahj: Mode set to warnings for Normal."
    YORmode = 2
    elseif (arg1 == "heroic") then
    print "--Yorsahj: Mode set to warnings for Heroic."
    YORmode = 3
    elseif (arg1 == "off") then
    print "--Yorsahj: Warnings will not be sent."
    YORmode = 4
    end
    end

    this is in the .lua in case it wasn't obvious.   also, this was posted a few months ago... and is still on this front page by  Bovyne in post 81. L2Read before posting "new requests" for the same feature that's already available if you really want it.

    As this addon has not been updated since January. I can safely say the author has no intention of updating it. The posted solution works, and I am grateful to the people who supplied it and the other one for the wrong colour shout in heroic. Yes, it would be nice if the author did update it with the 2 modifications needed, but this looks doubtful. I am also grateful to the author for coming up with this addon in the first place, as this has allowed our guild to down blobby for months now with a lot more ease than otherwise.

    Anyway, there is no need to have a go at Neptuna1 for giving you a workable solution. Though the l2read was a little unnecessary ;)

    As to the people who think that they know better, I can guess this is LFR. It looks like someone just needs to state before the pull that they will call out what colour to kill. If you have some idiot who calls a different colour consistently then kick them is my answer.

  • #94

    l2read? lmao i saw the instructions and know it's available but do not want to manually edit in an option when the author could do it for us.  if it's not a built-in option then i have to put it back in every time the mod is updated.  and the "solution" resets every wipe/zone in, so it's not really a real fix now is it.

    before getting all snotty and telling someone to "l2read," maybe realize that the person has read, and wants a real fix to the problem. 

  • #80

    Please add a command to disable the addon... I get nothing but abuse in LFR for suggesting kill orders, but I need the addon for our normal raids. I need to be able to turn the warnings off ingame.

    Screw LFR people. Ignore em.

  • #89

    I think they mean just disable the /rw spam, were looking at using this in rai, multipule offcers for example spamming this will get annoying and reloading ui can be a pain if your trying to organise stuff pre pull.

    I suggest Addon Control Panel.

  • #83

    All I can suggest is turn off the addon before u Q for LFR. 

  • #81

    Add the following in at around line 333:

      elseif (arg1 == "off") then
                    print "--Yorsahj: Warnings will not be sent."
                    YORmode = 4

    -- It should follow the block:

        elseif (arg1 == "heroic") then
            print "--Yorsahj: Mode set to warnings for Heroic."
            YORmode = 3

    Then use "/yor off"

    Cracking addon!

    I've edited my own files in the addon to announce the oozes required for the achievement.  I was just wondering if you could add an option to the original addon to allow that function?

     

    cheers!
