Dillyman saidOk so i found my saved variables folder (windows vist had it stored somewhere else), but oddly enough there is nothing to do with healbot in it, healbot is still in my addons folder for wow though and usable in the game!???

Tilliea saidI wasn't specific enough I'm sorry.
Basically what you want to do is when you open up WTF.
1. Open ACCOUNT. This will open up and show you the folder with your account name.
2. Open up the folder with your account name; you'll see folders with your Realms on it.
3. Open up the realm folder where your corresponding toon is using healbot. You will see folders with all the characters on that Realm.
4. Now, open up the folder with your corresponding character. You will see healbot.lua and healbot.bak in that folder.
Sometimes the .lua files are stored in different places in the game. And you have to look around to find them. Some addons store them in the saved variables file, others are stored on your character file.
Sorry it took so long to respond.
Basically some addons allow for custom settings for each character. I forgot where to look exactly. But when you have customized settings the .lua and .bak files saves your settings for that toon and tells the corresponding addon to behave the way you have set it to behave.
Once these files are deleted, Healbot will spawn a new healbot.lua and healbot.bak file to replace them upon reinstall.

Tilliea saidDillyman,
I've had a similar issue happen before. Sometimes when upgrading to new versions for whatever reason, your healbot.lua and healbot.bak in your saved variables folder can become corrupted thereby messing up bindings and or leaving the addon completely unfunctional. This once happened to me during a raid.
I suggest that you delete both of these files. Then reinstall the addon and start tweaking it from there. Note: you will have to rebuild your bindings. So make sure you write what they are down or take a couple of screenshots.
As a rule of thumb its also a good idea to back up your wtf folder from time to time, in case something happens you don't loose your previous settings.
When healbot became unresponsive the one time it did, I tried everything including going back to the previous version and nothing worked until I replaced the healbot.lua and healbot.bak with copies from my WTF back up. And it started working again.

Dillyman saidThank you for the reply Tilliea. You'll have to bare with me as i am not the greatest with this computer stuff, but i am looking in my WTF right now and I only see 2 files, one is "Config", other is "runonce". Where is the saved variable folder located? Again , i apologize for being such a noob :).

Dillyman saidHealbot spell binds are not working. I am unable to bind any of my heals/spells to the approptiate mouse buttons. Tried reseting HB, tried downloading different version but nothing is working. Not sure what to do here

Priamus saidIn order to get Healbot to smartcast [the correct] healing spells is to:
Toggle setting of smartcast to off/on,
reload the ui
Healbot will smartcast all other items fine, but will not cast healing spells correctly until the sequence above is performed. The heal setting does not stick from session to session, but the others do. Must be done upon login every time. Sticks fine in-session.

Kraygien saidI have the heal options screen set up with default spells listed in the Spells options panel. The checked options include "use enabled ... ooc" and "smartcast when ooc (to include all spells)". (always use enabled settings and avoid accidental pvp flagging are not checked.) On my druid when I used the left click button out of combat healbot would apply rejuvenation and if I clicked again while rejuvenation was still healing healbot would apply lifebloom. If I clicked a third time while the first two spells were still HoTing healbot would apply regrowth.
Now no matter what I do, whether in combat or not, left click only applies regrowth. This mysteriously changed during one of the most recent updates. Was something changed or have I somehow mucked up my settings?

StrifeCUK saidAlthough this is not a big deal (out of combat issue), I will look at it.
depending on time, the fix might only get applied to version 3.0.x as it is more time consuming to maintain 2 branches and with 2.4.x about to become redundant... I decided to only work on 3.x.
Saying this there should be an update coming in from Acirac and I believe he will be applying the update to both versions, this update improves DC information.

Elderam saidI noticed a problem i Zul Aman yesterday.
It seems that Healbot does not recognise Domesticated that the Beast Tamers (on the way to Halazzi) do as a dispellable magic.
The other priest that do not use Healbot could dispel the effect fine but I could not.
Also I read a post about Decursive that was from 28 july indicating that they had a problem with those mobs to.
Is this something anyone is aware of and know what to do about. It caused quite some problems when the other priest was domesticated as I could not dispel him.
Unfortunatly I do not have a combatlog file at the moment but I will try go get one on the next reset.

acirac saidYou can workaround this issue by using a macro with healbot instead. I think the reason healbot has issues is because it uses the raid number of the person instead of the name and when a person gets mc i don't think that raid num works anymore. What I did to fix it was type the name Dispel in Healbot and then created a macro through /macro named Dispel with the following code:
#showtooltip Dispel Magic
/cast [target=mouseover,exists][target=target,exists][target=player] Dispel Magic
I use the same macro when not useing healbot frames as well. That is why it has all the extra code. The key to having this work is that i used the target=mouseover instead of target=hbtarget.
