Cd Alarm is now Vex Alarm
Vex Alarm shows the user when specific spells are casted or buffs gained or lost.
The user can choose from a list of predefined spells and control whether the spell shall be posted as an "event" when the caster's raidrole is tank,healer,dd or not set (undefined)
Messages
The "event" is a message that is posted by the addon in a frame when an observed spell is casted or an observed buff gained or lost.
The predefined spells are categorized into 5 classes:
- buffs
- buffs with a single target
- buffs without targets
- buffs with multiple targets
- casts
- casts with targets
- casts without targets
You can enter a total of 8 different messages for the events. 2 for each buff (gain and fade) and 1 for each cast. The user can choose a color in which the text for the 5 „active“-events (spell cast + buff gained) and for the 3 „inactive“-events (buff lost) is printed in.
Tags
with the following tags you can parse information in the messages:
- {caster}
- parses the caster's name in a message, printed in the normal textcolor
- {caster_sc}
- parses the caster's name in a message, printed in a specific color you can choose in the options
- {caster_cc}
- parses the caster's name in a message, printed in the classcolor
- {target}
- parses the target's name in a message printed in the normal textcolor
- {target_sc}
- parses the target's name in a message, printed in a specific color you can choose in the options
- {target_cc}
- parses the target's name in a message, printed in the classcolor
- {spell}
- parses the spellname in a message printed in the normal textcolor
- {spell_sc}
- parses the spellname in a message, printed in a specific color you can choose in the options
- {spell_cc}
- parses the spellname in a message, printed in the classcolor
- {status}
- parses an information, printed in the normal textcolor
- {status_sc}
- parses an information, printed in a specific color you can choose in the options
The information {status} and {status_sc} print for active events (spells casted/buffs gained) and inactive events (buffs faided) can be chosen by the user.
Coloring
- _sc
- Information that is parsed with _sc tags is printed with a color the user can choose
- _cc
- Information that is parsed with _cc tags is printed with the classcolor which is defined by blizzard
The Information that isn't colored with _sc or _cc has the same color as the normal text. You can choose one color for each event, meaning one for „active“-events (spellcast/buff gain) and one for the „inactive“-events (buff lost). Both colors can be the same.
Information about spells, casters, targets who arent in your group or raid arent colored due to a lag of information in a WoW API.
