TysNamePlates.zip

A simple UI improvement for the nameplates.

This is not an addon! it just asks WoW to use Tys’ different graphics.

  • Thanks to vranx.com for the tip!

    • I guess they had it archived, but I don’t see it there any more.


(All the old image references are gone, because that host is gone.)

World of Warcraft questing can be made a whole hell of a lot easier and faster. Here’s some of the stuff I’ve played with.

2012-08-27 edit: I use Leatrix Plus for quest acceptance and completion, and my own macro/hotkey for clicking on the topmost item in my tracked quest list. Nothing else is needed.

(Note: some of the images went missing from an old host, and all I have are thumbnails.)

OptionHouse is an AddOn to manage AddOns.  It’s a pretty simple concept.

Works, but no longer shows what addons are loaded

  • It’s called OptionHouse on curse, and the escape menu shows “Option House” (with a space)

World of Warcraft - Prayer of Mending

World of Warcraft >

(Prayer of Mending)

In L2Disc – An overview of Discipline Priest raiding, I mentioned that I wanted an AddOn which can track my Prayer of Mending.  Specifically, I want to know when I should be casting it so it’s bouncing around out in the field.

Some people don’t care, because they regularly re-cast it.  I find this rather inefficient, although I do see how it can be annoying to have the mending “stuck” on some too-rarely-damaged pet.

Other people talk about having HealBot or Grid display a Prayer of Mending icon.  This isn’t useful at all to me, because it doesn’t notify me when it’s absent – there’s just too much stuff going on for me to deal with scanning 25 raid positions for that icon.  On top of that, could I even configure either of them to deal with multiple instances of Prayer of Mending bouncing around, cast by multiple Priests?  Probably not.  Besides, I really despise both of those AddOns and I won’t use them so I’m not going to stress over this.

So I need some other solution.  This sounds like a common problem, and one which is interesting for a programmer to solve.. so there must be something out there, right?  Well not really.

A Party/Raid Frames Replacement AddOn.

This found heavy use until Blizzard made sufficient UI improvements to obsolete the need for frames addons.
