It is important for a Combat Rogue to keep his Slice&Dice up and running all the time during Combat. To make sure he will have to look at the Buff list and check for the small icon and see if its still there!
Slicer will put a Status Bar up on Screen wich will have the Bufftime running in it.
Type:
/sli
for options!
Current Action: Include RupterBar
Many Thanks to Scarr for the original Slicer..
Thanks to Cinedelle for helping out with french skill names! ;)
Patched Problem with not detecting S&D if you had more than 16 Buffs (I hope! :D)
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

dukex12 saidFirst off great addon. It has increased my snd uptime tremendously. Thanks for your hard work. Secondly I have a request. Since this is stated mainly to be a tool for combat rogues I'd like to ask that our second most important finisher have a timer bar added... Rupture. If this has already been asked before or if it is too much work or just not possible I give my apologies in advance. Thanks again for all your hard work and I hope you decide to keep it up in the future.

Yankie saidOk, funktioniert. Aber dennoch gibt es ab und zu Anzeigefehler indem nichts angezeigt wird. Gerade bei Bosskämpfen nervt das. Kann natürlich auch mit anderen Addons zusammen hängen, will ich ja garnicht bestreiten.
Aber das Teil würd ich trotzdem nicht missen wollen.

DrBlackJack saidwhen you have more than like 12 buffs the addon doesnt show the times of SnD even when after the new patch you can see more buffs an you can actually see you buff of SnD the addon doesnt show it :( any simple way to solve this?

Vezper saidI have the same problem, spent some time looking through the code (slicer.lua)
there's a function Slicer_Ident(), there's a line "for count=0,15 do" and I when you change that number it will check through more buffs, note that, in theory at least, this will make it a bit slower since it will check for more buffs.

Anavar saidI like this mod -- one comment though -- you should make it so the Riposte Icon can come on if SnD isn't up -- it would be nice if this mod acted like both a SnD timer (which it does great) and a Riposte warning --- right now the Riposte warning doest work if SnD isnt being timed.
Also could you move the Riposte Button off to it's own frame so I can move it with MoveAnything?
Thanks :-)
