DreamForgeFrames

English Description

DreamForgeFrames is a focused unit-frame and aura-monitoring addon for World of Warcraft Retail. It adds a separate set of compact frames for up to 40 party or raid members chosen by you.

The default raid interface displays the entire group with roughly equal priority. DreamForgeFrames changes that experience by letting you create a second, focused view containing only the players you need to watch closely—for example, tanks, healing assignments, players receiving external defensive cooldowns, or members responsible for an upcoming raid mechanic. It is designed to complement your existing party or raid frames rather than force you to replace them.

Focus on the Players Who Matter

Select members directly from your current party or raid, choose complete role groups such as tanks or healers, or add a character manually. Selected players appear in compact frames that can display:

• Current health and health percentage
• Class-colored names
• Dead and offline status
• Range information
• Custom backgrounds, borders, sizes, spacing, scale, and opacity

Range monitoring can fade and desaturate frames when players move out of range. This gives healers and support players immediate visual feedback about whether an assigned target can currently be reached.

DreamForgeFrames uses secure group frames to keep selected members connected to the correct unit while combat is in progress. When World of Warcraft prevents protected settings from being changed during combat, those changes are safely applied after combat ends.

Detailed Buff and Debuff Monitoring

DreamForgeFrames uses customizable Aura Projects. Each project is an independent group of aura rules and visual settings, allowing different types of information to appear in different positions around the same member frame.

Aura Projects can monitor:

• Buffs or debuffs
• Specific spell IDs
• Raid auras
• Major personal defensive abilities
• External defensive cooldowns
• Important combat effects
• Crowd-control effects
• Raid debuffs encountered during combat
• Effects dispellable by you
• Effects dispellable by someone in your group

Additional filters can limit results by caster, base duration, dispel type, boss-aura status, priority, role relevance, stealable status, or whether your character can apply the effect. Individual spell IDs can also be included or excluded.

For example, a healer could create one project for dispellable Magic and Disease effects, another for external defensive buffs such as damage-reduction cooldowns, and a third for a small list of encounter-specific debuffs. This separates important information instead of placing every icon into one crowded row.

Each project can independently control:

• Icon size and position
• Number of icons per row
• Maximum visible auras
• Aura sorting
• Cooldown swipe
• Remaining-duration text
• Stack counts
• Spell names
• Duration bars
• Fonts, colors, borders, spacing, and opacity

These options make it easier to recognize missing buffs, expiring defensives, dangerous debuffs, and effects that require an immediate dispel.

Click-Casting Without Changing Targets

DreamForgeFrames supports configurable click-casting. Assign spell IDs to mouse buttons and modifier combinations such as:

• Left, right, or middle click
• Shift
• Ctrl
• Alt
• Combined modifier keys

Clicking a member frame casts the configured spell directly on that member without changing your current target. A healer can therefore keep an enemy or boss targeted while healing, dispelling, or applying an external cooldown to a selected teammate.

Multiple bindings can be configured, and DreamForgeFrames reports conflicting or invalid bindings before they affect gameplay.

Combat Timeline Highlights

The built-in combat timeline turns written raid assignments into visual reminders on the affected player frames.

Timeline events use a simple minute-and-second format and can target:

• Individual selected members
• Entire classes
• Specific specializations

For example, a timeline can highlight a named tank shortly before a major boss hit, highlight all selected Hunters when a mechanic requires their utility, or highlight a specific healing specialization during an assigned cooldown window.

You can control how many seconds before an event the highlight appears, how long it remains afterward, and whether it uses a scrolling dashed border, a soft color fill, or both. Multiple timeline configurations can be saved for different encounters or strategies.

This reduces the need to memorize every timestamp and makes assignments visible directly where you are already watching player health and auras.

Profiles and Sharing

Complete configurations can be saved as named profiles. Profiles include selected members, aura projects, timeline settings, frame appearance, click-casting, and other addon options.

Profiles can be:

• Saved and applied for different characters, roles, raids, or encounters
• Renamed or deleted
• Exported as encoded configuration strings
• Imported from another player

This makes it practical to maintain separate healing, raid-leading, dungeon, and encounter-specific layouts or share a complete setup with other members of your group.

Who Is DreamForgeFrames For?

DreamForgeFrames is especially useful for:

• Healers who need a dedicated view of tanks or assigned healing targets
• Raid leaders who want visual reminders for cooldown and mechanic assignments
• Support players tracking dispels, external defensives, or important buffs
• Players using the default raid frames who want extra detail for only a few teammates
• Organized groups that want shareable aura and timeline configurations

DreamForgeFrames does not automate combat or make decisions for the player. It presents selected health, range, aura, and assignment information in a focused format so players can recognize important changes sooner and respond with less screen clutter.

中文说明

DreamForgeFrames 是一款面向《魔兽世界》正式服的重点成员单位框体与光环监控插件。它可以为你选择的小队或团队成员创建一组独立、紧凑的单位框体，最多支持监控 40 名成员。

游戏原生团队框体通常会以相近的优先级显示所有成员，而 DreamForgeFrames 允许你创建一个只包含关键成员的额外视图。例如，你可以只显示坦克、指定治疗目标、需要接受外部减伤的玩家，或即将处理团队机制的成员。它不会强迫你放弃原有团队框体，而是作为一套专门用于重点监控的补充框体。

只关注真正重要的成员

你可以从当前小队或团队中直接选择成员，也可以快速选择全部坦克、治疗或伤害输出，还可以手动添加角色名称。

成员框体可以显示：

• 当前生命值与生命值百分比
• 职业颜色姓名
• 死亡与离线状态
• 距离状态
• 自定义背景、边框、尺寸、间距、缩放与透明度

开启距离监控后，超出距离的成员框体可以自动降低透明度并变为灰色。治疗者和辅助职业因此可以快速判断指定目标当前是否处于技能范围内。

DreamForgeFrames 使用安全团队框体，使已选成员在战斗中保持正确的单位绑定。如果某项受保护设置无法在战斗中修改，插件会等待战斗结束后再安全应用，避免因暴雪的战斗保护机制导致框体失效。

精细的增益与减益监控

DreamForgeFrames 使用可独立配置的光环方案。每个方案都有自己的监控规则、显示位置和视觉样式，因此你可以把不同类型的信息分别放在成员框体的不同区域，而不是让所有图标拥挤在同一排。

光环方案可以监控：

• 增益或减益效果
• 指定法术 ID
• 团队光环
• 重要个人减伤
• 外部减伤技能
• 重要战斗效果
• 控制效果
• 战斗中的团队减益
• 自己可以驱散的效果
• 团队中其他成员可以驱散的效果

你还可以按照施法者、基础持续时间、驱散类型、首领光环、优先级、职责相关性、可偷取状态，以及自己能否施加该效果进行筛选，并可以单独包含或排除指定法术。

例如，治疗者可以创建一套方案显示自己能够驱散的魔法和疾病效果，再创建一套方案监控团队成员身上的外部减伤，最后创建一套只显示当前首领战斗关键减益的方案。这样可以把不同用途的信息分开显示，避免大量无关图标影响判断。

每套光环方案都可以独立设置：

• 图标大小与显示位置
• 每行图标数量
• 最大显示数量
• 光环排序方式
• 冷却转圈效果
• 剩余时间文字
• 效果层数
• 法术名称
• 持续时间进度条
• 字体、颜色、边框、间距与透明度

这些功能可以帮助玩家更快发现缺失的关键增益、即将结束的减伤、危险的团队减益，以及需要立即驱散的效果。

无需切换目标的点击施法

DreamForgeFrames 支持自定义点击施法。你可以将法术 ID 绑定到不同鼠标按键和组合键，包括：

• 鼠标左键、右键和中键
• Shift
• Ctrl
• Alt
• 多个修饰键组合

点击成员框体后，技能会直接对该成员施放，而不会改变你当前选中的目标。治疗者可以继续选中敌人或首领，同时对重点成员进行治疗、驱散或施放外部减伤。

插件支持配置多条点击施法绑定，并会提示无效法术或互相冲突的按键组合。

战斗时间轴高亮

内置战斗时间轴可以把文字形式的团队安排转换为成员框体上的视觉提醒。

每个事件使用简单的分钟和秒数格式，并且可以指定：

• 单个已选成员
• 整个职业
• 指定专精

例如，你可以让插件在首领重击前高亮当前坦克，在某个团队机制到来时高亮所有已选猎人，或者在指定治疗减伤时间到来前高亮对应治疗专精。

你可以设置提前多少秒开始高亮、事件结束后继续保留多久，以及使用滚动虚线边框、柔和填充颜色或两者结合的效果。不同首领和团队战术还可以分别保存多套时间轴配置。

这样，玩家不必完全依靠记忆掌握每个时间点，而是可以直接在平时观察生命值和光环的成员框体上看到即将到来的任务提醒。

配置保存、导入与分享

DreamForgeFrames 可以把完整设置保存为命名配置，包括已选成员、光环方案、时间轴、框体样式、点击施法和其他插件选项。

配置可以：

• 为不同角色、职责、团队或首领分别保存
• 随时应用、重命名或删除
• 导出为编码配置字符串
• 从其他玩家提供的字符串中导入

你可以分别保存治疗、团队指挥、地下城和特定首领配置，也可以把一整套成熟设置直接分享给其他团队成员。

DreamForgeFrames 适合哪些玩家？

DreamForgeFrames 特别适合：

• 需要单独关注坦克或指定治疗目标的治疗者
• 希望获得减伤和机制安排提醒的团队指挥
• 需要监控驱散、外部减伤或关键增益的辅助职业
• 想继续使用原生团队框体，但需要额外关注少数成员的玩家
• 希望共享光环与战斗时间轴配置的固定团队

DreamForgeFrames 不会自动完成战斗操作，也不会替玩家做出决定。它会把你选择的生命值、距离、光环与团队安排集中显示在一套清晰的框体中，让重要变化更容易被发现，同时减少无关信息带来的界面干扰。
