DreamForgeTools

DreamForgeTools

  A modular toolkit for World of Warcraft Retail, bundling raid-focused utilities into a single addon: party-cooldown tracking with a fully configurable HUD, interrupt-rotation coordination,
   an encounter helper for L'ura, member inspection, and addon version checking.

  Highlights

  - 1,200+ pre-configured spells across all 40 specs — no manual setup
  - Per-spec watched lists that auto-match any teammate you see
  - Category filters with tri-state checkboxes for bulk on/off
  - Simulated 20-player raid mode for tuning the HUD offline
  - Zero external dependencies; bundled LibStub, LibDataBroker, LibDBIcon for minimap support

  Modules

  Party Cooldowns (the main feature)

  Track every teammate's major cooldowns in real time through an on-screen HUD.

  - 40 specs covered — ships with a curated catalog of ~1,200 spells spanning every class and specialization, including the Midnight-era Devourer Demon Hunter spec. Each entry includes a
  baseline cooldown so icons display correct timers even for classes you don't own.
  - Category filters — one-click bulk toggle for Group DR, Group Mobility, Major Heal, Externals, Major / Minor DPS CDs, Immunities, Defensives, Mobility, CC, Utility, Trinkets, Potions, and
   Health Potions. Mixed states show as "partial" so you can see at a glance when you've overridden a category.
  - Per-spec configuration — each specialization has its own watched-spell list. Configure Protection Warrior once, and the rules apply whenever a Protection Warrior teammate joins.
  - Custom cooldown overrides — edit any spell's CD to match your talent choices or your team's preferences. Edits persist across /reload.
  - Manual spell additions — add any spell ID to any spec with your own cooldown value for personalized tracking.
  - Addon-channel sync — broadcasts cooldowns to teammates who also run the addon through standard WoW addon messages. Auto-detects party / raid / instance chat routing.
  - Inspect fallback — teammates without the addon still appear on the HUD once their specialization is detected through WoW's inspect API.

  HUD Customization

  The on-screen overlay is fully configurable:

  - Icon size (12–64 px)
  - Icon gap (0–20 px)
  - Optional spell-name labels under each icon, with adjustable font size (6–24 pt)
  - Maximum icons per row, with automatic wrap onto additional sub-rows
  - Optional divider lines between players
  - Drag-to-position; lockable
  - Per-player visibility toggle (eye icon) and custom display order
  - 20-player simulation mode for layout testing without a real raid

  Interrupt Rotation

  Coordinate interrupt chains for each raid target marker:

  - Assign interrupt spells per teammate per raid marker (Skull, Star, Circle, Diamond, etc.)
  - Visual chain display with real-time cooldown awareness
  - Voice alerts when it's your turn and when you're next in queue
  - Automatic chat messages when someone misses their interrupt window

  L'ura Rune Helper

  Encounter-specific helper for the L'ura boss fight:

  - One-click rune macro generation for the 5 rune positions
  - Raid leader / assistant broadcasts the pull's rune order to the entire group
  - Local test mode for practice outside the encounter

  Member Inspect

  One-click scan of every group member's gear and specialization:

  - Item level, equipped gear, and spec at a glance
  - Uses WoW's inspect API; no manual clicking required

  Version Check

  Quickly verify which teammates are running DreamForgeTools and whether they're on the current version. Outdated or missing installs are flagged for easy identification.
