KaruulAlert

Combat Screen

Inspired by WoW's Power Auras this is a fully configurable alerting system. Track what you want how you want. Setup alerts for such things as...

  • A debuff you want to keep up on your target
  • Your focus is low on life
  • An ability just came off cooldown
  • You are running low on mana
  • much much more...
Getting Started:

As KaruulAlert is completely customizable it needs to know a little about your character before you start. So the first thing you should do is open the configuration panel and enable the ability scanner. This will now start building the list of buffs and abilities for you to set alerts for.

1. Open configuration (/karuulalert)

2. Check the Enable Ability Scanner check box at the lower left of configuration the screen

At this point you will have a good amount of items to choose from but to get the full list of what you can do play around a little. Switch roles, buff up, click on random players (load their buffs too). Once done disable the ability scanner to save resources. Now you should have all you need to get going. First stop Name, what do you want to call this alert you are making? After that it's just a matter of checking off what you want to track, typing in the ability or buff and choosing what your alert will look like.

1. Open configuration (/karuulalert)

2. Enter a Name for your alert

3. Select Buff, Ability, or Resource

4. Select when you want to be notified

5. Select the who the alert will look at

6. Enter the name of the buff/ ability or select the resource.

7. Customize the alert

8. Click Save

You now have an alert for your gaming pleasure.

    @Napophis: Go

    From the built-in help:

    Quote:

    If you wish to display your own custom image instead of one of the system images you can fill in this box. Currently only PNG and TGA image formats are supported and if using TGA only uncompressed TGAs can be used.

    To load custom images:

    1. Place the PNG or TGA image file in the KaruulAlert\custom folder.
    2. Type the filename with extension into the Custom Edit Box. If done correctly the image should be previewed in the image Selection Box.

    Due to a bug in the latest version of the LibUnitChange library, KaruulAlert will produce errors when used together with King Boss Mods 1.2.3.514 and possibly other addons.

    I recommend reverting to KBM 1.2.3.513 until a newer version is released.

    I'm considering a release with a workaround for the problem, but hopefully the author of LibUnitChange will respond quickly with the actual solution.

    Would it be possible to get an alert while fishing.

    Exe. I'm fishing and i get the chat message reel it in

    Is there a way to set up and alert for that.

    I basically dont want to read chat or look for the fish symbol while fishing.

    I would rather have an alert come up.

    @Morax: Go

    Ok.. little more info.. I can reproduce EASILY now.. Performance Insoles + Poisonous Coating.. it can only monitor one properly.. swap out boots and the coating appears to be "missing".. swap out bow and the insoles appears to be "missing"..

    I am having an issue with Poisionous Coating. It seems to randomly stop working.. If I put it on one bow.. and swap to a different bow and back again it will work for a while.. I kind of think if i relog it triggers it to "break" but not really sure..

    Here is the definition..

    Poisonous Coating;1;T;player;1;F;F;F;Poisonous Coating;none;0;1;F;F;0;0;Rift;Data/\UI\item_icons\goo7b.dds;1166;1026;48;48;1;1;;CENTER;1;;1;1;1;30;T;F;CENTER;30;T;6;F;0

    BTW, I really like your addon so far. I have been using nkrebuff for long time but I am tired of it completely losing my settings or being broken after I update..

    P.S. Forgot to mention I am on 1.16 version
