Ok, long time between posts, but there's a new file up. I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn on the "yes, this is French-compatible" flag in the control panel.

Newest updates seem to work alright. The quick run down of the new stuff: /dqd arena toggle 9 versus 10 second stormstrike timerbar French localizations added thanks to the helpful people here and on elitist jerks. windfury event parser now compatible with the combat log changes for 2.4

TRANSLATORS WANTED

The German and French versions are working. If you would like to help translate for any of the others, please let me know.

How it works:

vv this is the part that blizzard is going to remove VV Top bar: Air Totem Twisting - A purple 10 second bar that refreshes itself every 5 seconds when WF totem is down. When you drop another Air totem (GoA, for example), the refreshing stops, and the bar changes color to white.

Suggested Useage for Twisters: After dropping your WF totem, get your GoA down asap, and verify a successful cast by seeing the bar turn white. As the white bar is about to run out, redrop your WF totem. The bar will be back at full width and purple again. Rinse and Repeat.

Middle bar: Stormstrike and WF cooldown - The yellow bar appears as a 10 second timer when you Stormstrike. The smaller bar is the WF cooldown timer, overlayed on it. The WF timer bar is red but semi-transparent.

Suggested Useage: When you see full orange, that means that WFcooldown will be up before you can SS again. When you see a sliver of red, it means you probably should wait until it goes away to SS again. When you see a lot of red, you could be up to 2.5 or 3 seconds until the next WF cooldown is available, so you might as well SS.

Bottom bar: Shock cooldowns - This bar is 6 seconds wide. It will activate and count down for any shock. Frost Shock = light blue, Flame Shock = orange, Earth Shock = green. This isn't intended to be a dot timer / debuff timer (for Frost/Flame shock), just a way for you to remember that your shock is ready, and it helps you remember what shock you cast last time, so as to make weaving Flame and Earth shock easier.

Design Note - I made a conscious choice not to make all the bars the same width. You don't care what percent of complete your WF cooldown is, you care how that interacts with Stormstrike. I personally believe it's easier for humans to manage things traveling at the same rate - if you see two bars, and one is closer to empty than the other, with this mod you can be sure that it will actually happen this way. Example - If I used fixed widths for all the bars, and the Shock bar is 80% full, and the stormstrike bar is 70% full, a glance at it would look like the stormstrike cooldown would be up before the shock cooldown. I think that's bad design.

valid menu commands that you might find helpful:

/dqd standby (turns it on or off)

/dqd display (shows the bars so you can drag them)

/dqd scale (adjust the height)

/dqd width (use after scale to adjust the width)

/dqd twist (turns on/off the twisting bar)

/dqd shock (turns on/off the shock bar)

/dqd SS (turns on/off the Stormstrike bar)

    Fix for getting it working on WotLK Beta :

    At around line 323 in DisquoDice.lua replace the existing function with :


    function DisqoDice:IsWaterShieldActive()
    	local index = 1
    	while UnitBuff("PLAYER", index) do
    		local name = UnitBuff("PLAYER", index)
    		if name == WS_Shld_Cast then
    			return true
    		end
    		index = index + 1
    	end
    	return false
    end

    function DisqoDice:IsWaterShieldActive()
    local index = 1
    while UnitBuff("PLAYER", index) do
    local name = UnitBuff("PLAYER", index)
    if name == WS_Shld_Cast then
    return true
    end
    index = index + 1
    end
    return false
    end

    I note that Discoepfeand is no longer wishing to maintain this addon, could I have permission to maintain it? I would love to update it to work with the new expansion as its a must have mod for me on my shammy.

    Just saw Razko comment, yes it was wshieldbar that is the red one that stays up , I disabled it /dqd wshieldbar and it went away.

    Once change that would be nice is if you could put a count down in numbers in side the bar too just so we can time it a little more accurate, like to know if I can get a shock off if there is less then 1.5 for the global cool down hehe. Other then that great tool man!

    Nice work!

    The only problem I got, is that I have four bars. A red one at the very bottom. I guess its only the anchor bar, but I am not able to remove it. Bug? Using the German client though.

    It's the watershield orb bar, and you can hide it if you look for the command.

    I think it was /dqd wshield or something like that. Just type /dqd to see a list of commands

    I really like this addon, especially the way totem twisting bar works, it's really simple and cool.

    There's one thing I wanted to ask for though, an option to disable the SS cooldown bar. Basically what I want is to leave only the WF cooldown bar (the short one that overlays the SS CD bar when WF procs) while hiding the 'big' bar with SS cooldown. You might wonder why, the reason is that I use cooldown bars already and I'm tracking my SS cooldown from those bars, and having two cooldown bars ticking down for the same thing is not cool (and sometimes even confusing, especially with my UI layout when these two things are right next to each other). I think the best thing to do to make both variants work is to seperate the WF and SS bars (with seperate on/off options), but make another option to overlay them as you are doing now. Sounds logical and simple to me.

    Oh and a little bug... if I drop a WF totem and despawn it, the purple bar just continues ticking and resetting itself at 50% non-stop, even though there isn't any air totem up. You gotta add a check for if the totem is up when you reset the bar midway ;)

    If these two things happen this will be really the perfect addon for timing SS while WF is not on cooldown AND for totemtwisting, two things which so few people care about but which make the raiding enh shaman perfect. I really hope you implement them, as I really can't find any other addon for these things, seems like this is the only one. Props to you for making this addon.

    You know, that's a good point. What I check for are other air totems or the use of totem recall (or dying). I don't know how using the new "kill a totem" feature registers, but once I find out, I can fix the windfury totem part (If you do totemic recall from your spell book it stops, right? And you're on the latest version?).

    If the other part isn't too tricky, I might do that over the weekend.

    Yes, it works correctly with Totemic Recall.

    I'm using the latest version.

    Good to know you're gonna try doing the other part :)

    I like the TT macro that comes with the addon, its just a poor selection of totems. I tried to change the spells and it worked fine till game resets or shut it down then it automaticly resets back to its default. Is there a way to fix this with out having to make my own macro? I like the changing macro also the reset time needs to be a lot shorter like 2 seconds.

    I don't think I added any macro into here (I don't even know how to do that permanently, tbh). Are you sure you didn't get the macro from another source? Personally, I use something like a castsequence, reset=8, Windfury Totem, Grace of Air Totem.

    But, you could edit the macro to whatever you'd like. I've never heard of macros resetting either. I really think that this is something happening outside the mod, since I don't know how to generate and add macros to a user's macro list ;-)

    Just wanted to say thanks for this mod, it works great and is very useful. One question, can I turn off the bottom solid red bar? It would appear its for our water/lightning shield but its always there and Id rather have as little clutter on my screen as possible. Thanx!

    Yep, do /dqd and look for something that turns the watershield bar off. It will be something like /dqd wshield

    Thanks! I've added this to the new upload, along with a /dqd arena toggle for people who use 4 piece galdiators.

    Changing the Shockpercent to .5 doesn't change the actual timer either. For me it's only making the bar border smaller, not the timer

    Hm, ok, doing just a bit of poking around in the code, check out this line (disqodice.lua)

    f2.statusbar:SetMinMaxValues(0,10)

    change that to .....0, 9)

    then fine this part:

    function DisqoDice:SSBar()
    f2:Show()
    gogogoSS = true
    SSTime = GetTime() + 10

    and change the last line to ....GetTime() + 9

    I dunno if that'll work or not, but it might be all that's needed (without putting in the work to have it auto update based on gear profiling).

    Lemme know how it goes :-)

    I see the 4 totem, SS, WF and reincarnate but I do not see anything relating to my water shield and also if I type /dqd [anything] the message pops up that I can do /help for help as if it didn't recognize the /dqd command
