CloakFiberHelper

CloakFiberHelper

Checks whether your equipped cloak contains a fiber from the correct category for your current specialization. Comes with an in-game options panel and optional slash commands.

Features

• Auto-scan on login, on cloak change, and when changing specialization
• Multi-mode support: Different fiber preferences for Outdoor, Mythic+, and Raid content
• Smart detection: Automatically detects when you enter Mythic+ dungeons or raids
• In-game configuration via Options → AddOns or /cfh
• Manual scan via slash command or a small "Scan now" button
• Per-character settings (SavedVariables)
• Per-spec and per-mode desired fiber category (Critical Strike, Haste, Versatility, Mastery)
• Restrict to specific allowed cloak ItemIDs
• Session control: Temporarily disable popup warning via chat command
• English and German localization

Quick start

Open the options panel and configure everything in-game:

/cfh

In the options panel you can:

• Cloaks: add ItemIDs, see current cloaks (with names), and remove entries.
• Specializations: Configure fiber preferences for each spec across three game modes:
  • Outdoor: General world content
  • M+: Mythic+ dungeons (detected automatically)
  • Raid: Raid instances (detected automatically)

Manually trigger a scan at any time:

/cfh scan

Configuring fiber preferences

Preferred method: Use the options panel (Options → AddOns → Cloak Fiber Helper or /cfh).

The options panel shows a table with:

• Rows: Your specializations (e.g., Brewmaster, Mistweaver, Windwalker)
• Columns: Game modes (Outdoor, M+, Raid)
• Dropdowns: Select the desired fiber for each spec/mode combination

Legacy slash commands (for Outdoor mode only): Valid categories: crit, haste, versa (versatility), mastery (or their localized names).

• Assign for your current spec: /cfh set crit
• Assign for a specific spec ID: /cfh set haste 266

Tip: Use /cfh show to list your specs with their spec IDs and current assignments.

Restricting to allowed cloak ItemIDs

Preferred: use the options panel to add/remove ItemIDs in the Cloaks section.

Alternatively, replace the list with a comma-separated list:

/cfh cloaks 235499,12345,67890

The scan will only succeed if the equipped cloak's ItemID is in this list.

When does the addon scan?

• On login/entering world (after a short delay)
• When you change the cloak in equipment slot 15
• When you change specialization
• When entering different content types (Outdoor ↔ Mythic+ ↔ Raid)
• On demand via /cfh scan

You may also see a small button labeled "Scan now" that triggers the same check.

Session control

You can temporarily disable popup warnings if you're intentionally using a different fiber:

• Chat commands:
  • /cfh sessiondisable - Disable popup warnings for this session (until reload/relog)
  • /cfh sessionenable - Re-enable popup warnings for this session
• Automatic hint: When wrong fiber is detected, the addon shows these commands in chat

Messages and popups

Console/chat messages are prefixed with [CFH] and show the current game mode context.

• Success: Cloak and fiber are OK for <Category>
• Warnings/Errors:
  • No allowed cloak equipped.
  • No fiber detected in cloak.
  • Unassigned (spec <id>) — No fiber preference set for current spec/mode
  • Equipped fiber <Actual> is not in desired category <Expected>.

Popups (appear once per session unless condition changes):

• Wrong fiber: Shows actual vs expected fiber category
• No allowed cloak: Notification when equipped cloak is not in allowed list

Session control hints: When wrong fiber is detected, chat shows available commands to disable/enable popup warnings.

Slash command reference

  Opens the options panel.

/cfh scan
  Triggers an immediate scan of your cloak and fibers.

/cfh sessiondisable

/cfh sessionenable
  Re-enables popup warnings for this session.

/cfh set <crit|haste|versa|mastery> [specID]

Localization

Currently supported: English (enUS) and German (deDE). To add a new locale, add a new file under Locales/ (e.g., frFR.lua) populating the CGH_L table.

Troubleshooting

• If item data is not yet cached by the client, the addon will delay and auto-rescan once data is available.
• Ensure your cloak has a socket and an inserted fiber. If no fiber is detected, the scan will warn you.
• If you changed your cloak or spec, run /cfh scan to re-check immediately.
