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.
