RaidTotems

There is something wrong with the inspector I think. RTT keeps DCing me anywhere from 5-20s after I get into a big raid group (25 man). Doesn't DC while dead or Ghost.

Ideas?

Ah, that would most likely be it. I was wondering why I was getting the DC so fast sometimes. I suppose I was assuming that it was actually waiting, haha. TY for the update, hopefully I won't be DC'ing in H OS anymore.

One request: I actually DC'd just when I zoned in. May i suggest that whenever you do a Zone change, also invoke a 10s sleep on inspecting and regulate it to no more than X per second. This would help make it so that when i get summoned to a group of 24 people all within inspect range, I don't die on my connection. Hows that sound? is that feasible?

Hi, is there a party-group setting I'm missing, or is this for raids only? I'd like to be able to communicate with fellow shaman in an instance run (sure, I know /w works but this addon is so much more specific).
Thanks for this great addon!

Currently it is build for raids. However, do you think it should be usable while in parties? I'm sure Xian could code that in in a jiffy, if he were to be convinced that it was a good idea.

gogo make your case!

Good changes, Xian. Like them much

I used to be able to see the box when I logged on to show which totems were being thrown down and now I cant get it to show again...Im a resto shammy with dual spec elemental...is there a command to get it to show? I made sure is enable so idk wht im doing wrong...

TotemGuru, I think

I tested this addon today and it didn't recognize an enhance shaman's spec. Kept showing totem of wrath for him.

can you be more specific? tbh, other than knowing that there is a possible bug, I don't know what to do.

some details that would be REALLY nice:
1. What spec he was. maybe just 20/51/0 or a character\realm name. or a link to a talent build that is the same.
2. does he have duel spec?
3. what is the other spec?

There are a few others that I can't think of atm.

One inconsistancy: Generally when you do menus, you have either --- or blank for the first item. This means, if you don't want to use it, leave it blank (see ES assigner). However, with your Channel spammer, you have a checkbox to decide if it is enabled as well as a list of channels. I wonder if you could remove the check box and make there be a blank list item at the top of the channel list, which would determine if it spams to channels or not.

Of course, I am unsure as to how to mix that with the idea by Jaredhearth with making it so you can spam channel without using whispers.

Is there a way to stop whispers from going out when I select a custom channel

no, not currently. good idea though. /dur [tar=me]

I'm sure that when you click send it is something like this:
Check (is channel checked? if 1, then run the function "CHANNEL POST")
run function "WHISPER SHAMMIES"

and you would just need to add a check to the second section so that it says
Check (is channel checked? if 1, then run the function "CHANNEL POST")
Check (is channel checked? if 0, then function "WHISPER SHAMMIES")

Also, if you get neither, then you know that 'is channel checked? if _,' is having a different number than 1 or 0! YAY

brb, DL'ing RTT at work and going to see if I can find it real quick.

so right around line 557 in RaidTotems.lua, there is this:
===================
if MsgChannel then
channelnr = GetChannelName(MsgChannel)
end
===================
Right after that end, I placed
" if not MsgChannel then"
as well as "end" at the end of that section (line 594 for me). btw, you should all thank Xian for tabbing nicely. If you have the kindness, you will tab that whole section that you just enclosed, though it doesn't change functionality at all.

Also, I can't test this and will be gone this weekend. Hopefully it works, maybe it'll save Xian a tiny bit of time if he decides to put the same feature into RTT. Though I wonder if that should be a checkable option in the Addon Config interface menu. "Send whispers even with 'Send Channel' enabled"

Hmm, perhaps you are going to need to make a real options screen Xian, for things like this as well as totem order, RTT frame scaling, Auto inspecting, Spec\talented abils icon showing, etc.

Oh, other thing! With your little icons by each shaman. I saw you do stuff like, ES, WF, SoE, ToW, TS, impES. And I also saw early on in the Lua file one for enh that was Earthbind but wasn't in later with the others.

I would love to have that icon that would tell me if the enh shammy takes Earthen Power and if the ele shammy takes Storm-Earth-Fire for the EB AoE Roots as those are both nice things of utility that are available to the raid. (both can take the EB icon sicne they are different specs and you shouldn't mix em up.)

great addon...only things I see:

1 - earth should be most left, then fire. That's the order they are learned and the order that every other totem addon has them

2 - add searing/magma for fire totem options. These are what enh should be dropping 90% of the time.

2- imo, enh doesn't need to be told what they should always be dropping. just tell them what totems the raid needs them to drop. any additional ones are their choice.

1- Ordering would indeed be cool. I use Air, Earth, Water, then fire. We are all so different! Perhaps Xian could copy code from TT for the totem in each element and apply it to RTT but with Left and right little buttons for each totem element just above the icon. Thus allowing anyone to do it how they want.

ALL HAIL RC1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the inspect. will report any bugs if found.

Also, nice Job with the ddmenu for announcing. I know Avahra wanted that, even though they didn't stay around to reply...

This is the most wonderful add on I've ever encountered. I downloaded it todady and tested it with a lower level shaman. The other shamans in my raid are going to hate me mwahahaa. Anyhow. The only suggestion I can make so far is to add an option so I can place the totems in a different channel. We have our private channel for shamans only so we don't spam raid chat with our clutter and I would love to e able to post this to that channel instead of raid and tells.
