Warcraft Mods

Kreugen · 12-25-2006, 11:10 AM

I'm looking for replacements for two mods that are handy but haven't been updated.

First is PVPBandage, which provides a /slash command for picking the best bandage you have depending on what battleground you are in. I don't use/like autobar, I believe that's what most people use for this function.

Second is a simple assist mod, now that AssistbyName() is gone they've all been nuked. I don't need ten assists with their names on my screen and their targets and their targets target and loads of other shit that only healers and MT's need. I just mean the type where you push one hotkey to pick an assist, then another hotkey to assist that person. I saw a macro to do it on EJ but never could get it to work and their website never emails me my confirmation info.

I've been able to find everything else I need (mostly ACE) and build a UI I'm happy with after catching up with all the new shit that's come out during my year hiatus.

A simple assist macro seems to be all you're looking for? No need to get a mod to do that for you

Can even set your focus to be the MA

Thanks to Gello for this.

Set Assist:
/script local n=UnitName("target") if n and not InCombatLockdown() then EditMacro(GetMacroIndexByName("Assist"),"Assist",nil,"/assist "..n) DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Assist set to "..n) end

Assist:
/assist (anything -- above macro edits this one)

MainAssist (wowace.com) is working well enough for me I guess.

Still can find nothing to replace PVPBandage, though.

I'm fairly sure it's no longer possible to let the game or a mod choose which bandage to use for you with a single button. Closest you could do is a macro which randomly uses one of your bandages using the /userandom command, which of course really isn't all that useful.

Then again, there are UI coders that find unique ways around everything, so where there's a will, there's a way!

FuckYou · 12-26-2006, 08:05 AM

autobar really is (was?) the best solution. though not necessarily intuitive you can make it into a single button bandage rig.

While we are on the topic of macros, anyone have something for feral druid?

Like, (check for DoT) true = rake not true = DoT

Rinse repeat.

Depends on what he is asking. If he is asking how to let a macro choose which size of bandage to use, it is not possible anymore.

If, on the other hand, he wants to say let the macro run through a cast sequence, it is entirely possible.

Say he loads up on 3 types of BG specific bandages. Then he can cast sequence the bandages which will proceed after failure to the next line. Being that the bandages are BG specific, he can use 1 macro for all 3. If he's in AV and tries to use a WSG bandage it will fail. ETC...

I believe that's impossible now, you can't change the ability on a button in combat. Best you could do is have 2 buttons and have the correct one light up.

FuckYou · 12-26-2006, 09:16 AM

staring at buttons is a fun mini game

Zamar · 12-26-2006, 10:17 AM

It'd be actually useful to have a macro topic imo.

One thing I'd love to know, is it possible anymore to cast 2 spells at once when the first doesn't activate global cooldown? it used to be possible with /script SpellStopCasting(); but now when I use it it says the macro used a command reserved to blizzard UI :/

Trifle · 12-26-2006, 11:08 AM

you can just use /stopcast now or some such (I forget the exact slash command) to do the same thing. Works pretty much the same way.

Well I have one on my druid that if I'm stealthed it ambushes, if I'm not it mangles.

also stealth = pounce nostealth=backstab. . .but I don't know about checking debuffs such as dots.

Bandage Pro might work for you. I've yet to play around with it much.
