AbilityFlow

A boss timeline that lights up when it matters.

Midnight shows upcoming boss abilities on a timeline bar. AbilityFlow replaces that bar with its own, in a look you control, from the icons and their names to how they light up in the last seconds. It shows more, too: breaks, ready checks and pull countdowns, reminders from Northern Sky Raid Tools, and timers from BigWigs and DBM.

Pick the game's look or a cleaner one when you first log in, and fine-tune it later, or never.

Features

The bar

• Vertical or horizontal, running either way, any length and thickness
• Abilities wait beside the bar, slide onto it as they come near, queue up and pause just like the game's own
• Time marks every 5 or 10 seconds, as lines, icons or text
• The standard background, or a plain one with your own texture, color and border
• Placed in Edit Mode, with its own size and position for each Edit Mode layout

How abilities look

• A live preview: click any part of the sample icon to edit it
• Icon size and zoom, border (the game's frame, a flat color, or colored by debuff type)
• Spell name and countdown: font, size, outline, color, position, an optional background
• Name, countdown and border can take the color of the event: its debuff type, its color in a boss mod, or the color of an NSRT note or alert
• Debuff, danger and role indicators, each with its own size and place

Appearance by timer

• Change how an ability looks as it comes close: up to 7 templates on the last 12 seconds
• Countdown color and size, tenths of a second
• Glows (several types, each with its own size, speed, direction and color); the optional Orbit: Media pack adds dozens more
• Pulse and flash, like the game's highlight, at any strength

More on the bar

• Ready check and pull countdown, with who started them in their class color
• Break timers, whatever starts them, even with no boss mod installed
• (optional) Reminders from Northern Sky Raid Tools, in colors of their own
• (optional) Ability names from BigWigs or DBM, with counts and your renames
• (optional) Timers the game does not have, from BigWigs (stages, bars started by players) or DBM
• (optional) Ability colors from BigWigs or DBM

Profiles

• One per character, or one for each specialization
• Share a profile as a line of text

Getting started

• /aflow or /abflow opens the settings (or use the addon menu by the minimap, or "All Settings" in the bar's Edit Mode dialog)
• /aflow test shows sample abilities without a boss
• /aflow help lists all commands
• Open Edit Mode and select the bar to set its position, length, thickness, direction, background and time marks; "All Settings" there opens the full settings window

Requires the game's boss warnings: Options > Gameplay Enhancements > Enable Boss Warnings. The game's own bar is hidden by default; you can show it again in the addon's settings.

Help translate

AbilityFlow is written in English and Russian. Other languages are translated by the community on CurseForge, and a translation shows up in the next release.

• Open the localization page of the project
• Pick your language and translate the phrases you see. Leave a phrase alone if you are not sure; it stays in English until someone translates it.

Please keep these as they are:

• %s, %d and similar codes stay in the text. They are replaced by the game with a name or a number. Move them to where the sentence needs them, but do not remove or add any.
• \n is a line break. Keep it where the English text has it.
• Short labels sit on buttons and in drop-down lists, so keep them about as short as the English ones.

Thank you for helping!
