Forever++

Small, native-looking improvements to the default UI for WoW: Forever.

Forever++ adds to Blizzard's interface in small, separate modules. It is not a UI replacement: no new unit frames, action bars, or skins. Everything uses Blizzard's own fonts, icons, and colors, so it looks like it shipped with the game.

• No setup. Install it and play. No popups or setup steps at login.
• Every module stands alone. Turn any of them on or off in Settings, live, with no /reload.
• Made for Forever. Forever runs the modern Retail client, not Classic Era, and Forever++ is written for that client.
• Works with Edit Mode. The frames Forever++ adds (Combat Alert, Currency Bar, Flight Timer, the waypoint arrow, and the framerate text) move and resize in Edit Mode, like Blizzard's.

Open it with /fpp or Options > AddOns > Forever++.

Modules

A few modules start turned off and are marked Off by default. Turn any module on or off in Settings.

Automation

• Auto Decline: turns down duels, and optionally party invites. Can let friends and guildmates through. Off by default.
• Auto Dismount: dismounts or stands you up when a spell, flight, loot, or attack fails because you're mounted or sitting.
• Auto Gossip: when an NPC has only one option and no quests, picks it, so the bank, shop, or flight map opens straight away. Hold Shift to choose yourself.
• Auto Quest: accepts quests and turns in finished ones. Never picks a reward for you. Hold Shift to do it yourself. Off by default.
• Auto Release: releases your spirit when you die in a battleground, unless someone can resurrect you. Off by default.
• Auto Repair: repairs your gear at merchants who repair and says in chat what it cost. Choose whether the guild bank or your own gold pays. Hold Shift to skip it.
• Auto Screenshot: takes a screenshot when you level up, earn an achievement, or defeat a boss, and optionally for good loot, reputation, PvP ranks, titles, and deaths. Can hide the interface for the shot. Off by default.
• Auto Sell Junk: sells your gray items when you talk to a merchant, and says in chat what they sold for. Hold Shift to skip it. Off by default.
• Auto Stow: puts your weapons away a few seconds after combat ends.
• Auto Weapon Buff: using a sharpening stone, weightstone, oil, poison, or fishing lure puts it straight on your weapon, without clicking the weapon. Off by default.
• Fast Loot: with auto loot on, takes everything at once.
• Fishing Cast: double right-click in the world with a fishing pole equipped to cast Fishing. Never in combat. Off by default.
• Gathering Tracking: keeps Find Minerals or Find Herbs on after logging in, zoning, or dying, and can swap between them.
• Skip Cinematics: skips cinematics you've already seen, or every one. Hold Shift to watch. Off by default.

Items

• Already Known: a green check on recipes, mounts, pets, toys, and other items you already know or have, at merchants, the auction house, and in your bags, mail, and loot window.
• Bag Slot Counter: shows how many bag slots are free on the bag buttons.
• Best Quest Reward: a gold coin on the quest reward that sells to a vendor for the most. It never picks for you.
• Easy Delete: types DELETE for you when you destroy a good item. Off by default.
• Item Tooltips: extra lines on item tooltips, each with its own checkbox:
  • Sell Price: the vendor price of the whole stack (hold Shift for one).
  • Auction Prices: the lowest buyout, scanned when you open the auction house, plus a recipe's reagent cost and profit in the professions window.
  • Item Count: how many you have in your bags and bank. Off by default.
• Profession Tooltips: the skill a herb, ore, skinnable beast, or locked box or chest needs, colored against your skill like trainer recipes.
• Unusable Items Tint: tints red the items you can't use (class, armor or weapon skill, level, or profession) in your bags, the bank, and at merchants.

Interface

• AddOns List: the AddOns list without category headers, enabled addons first.
• Buff Timers: shows the time left on your buffs and debuffs as a clock, like 1:23, instead of rounded minutes like 2 m.
• Character Window: side tabs for Equipment, Titles, and Pet, stats starting at the top, your name in class color, and durability bars beside your gear.
• Combat Alert: a red "Entering Combat" or green "Leaving Combat" line in the middle of the screen. Off by default.
• Commands: /rl reloads the UI and /clear empties a chat window, unless another addon already has those commands.
• Currency Bar: your gold, and the currencies you mark Show on Backpack, in a small box. Hover it to see what this session gained or spent. Off by default.
• Error Catcher: catches Lua errors and blocked actions quietly instead of showing Blizzard's error popup, and keeps them in a window you can copy a bug report from (/fpp errors).
• Forever Quest Icons: an infinity sign (or the Forever logo) after quests that are new to Forever, in the quest log, the objective tracker, and quest givers' lists.
• Hide Beta Feedback: hides the beta's "Press F6" tooltip line and feedback buttons. Beta and PTR only. Off by default.
• Minimap Button: a Forever++ button on the minimap or in the addon compartment. Click it to open settings. Right-click it to turn Fast Loot, Auto Quest, Auto Sell Junk, Auto Stow, Fishing Cast, and Gathering Tracking on or off. While Error Catcher is on, Shift-right-click it to see the errors it caught.
• Movable Framerate: move and resize the framerate text (Ctrl+R) in Edit Mode. Off by default.
• Quest Tracker: restyles Blizzard's quest tracker with your choice of font, a dark box behind it, and fading in combat. It's still Blizzard's tracker, so Edit Mode and quest items work as before.
• Recipe Colors: colors recipes in the professions window by skill-up chance: orange, yellow, green, or gray.
• Spell Ranks: marks spells on your action bars that have a higher rank you already know, and names the best rank in the tooltip. /fpp ranks lists them.
• Talent Planner: a Plan Talents button on the talent window. Plan in order, see the level each point comes at, keep several plans, and share them as text.
• Tooltips: unit and item tooltips colored by class, reaction, or quality, plus player titles and who a unit is targeting.
• XP Bar Text: shows your XP, percent, rested XP, and the XP from quests ready to turn in on the experience bar, all the time.

Chat

• Chat Copy: a button beside the chat window that opens the chat as text you can select and copy.
• Chat Font: shows chat in another of the game's fonts (Friz Quadrata, Arial Narrow, Skurri, or Morpheus), at the size you already use.
• Chat History: keeps each chat window's latest lines when you log out or reload, and shows them again when you log in.
• Persistent Chat: keeps chat text on screen instead of fading it out.
• Short Channel Names: shows chat channels as [1], [G], or [1. G] instead of [1. General]. Off by default.
• Social Button: moves the Quick Join button down beside the other chat buttons.

Map

• Flight Timer: times every flight you take. Next time, a bar counts the flight down and the flight map's tooltip shows how long it takes.
• Hide Filter Reset: hides the reset button on the world map's filter dropdown, which shows whenever a filter is off.
• Waypoints: /way [zone] x y pins a spot and tracks it, with an arrow on screen pointing the way. Leaves /way to TomTom if you have it.
• World Map: four parts, each with its own checkbox:
  • Points of Interest: dungeons, raids, capital cities, flight masters, boats, zeppelins, spirit healers, and Skyborne ley lines.
  • Zone Info: a panel in a corner of the map with the zone's level range, who holds it, its dungeons, the fishing skill it needs, and its herbs, ore, and skinning.
  • Unexplored Areas: shows the parts of zone maps you haven't explored yet.
  • Coordinates: your coordinates and the cursor's in the map's title bar, and optionally yours on the minimap.

Unit Frames

• Class Colors: class-colored health bars on the player, target, focus, party, and target-of-target frames, red and yellow for hostile and neutral NPCs, and class-colored names in the friends and who lists.

Nameplates

• NPC Nameplates: friendly NPCs show just their name and title, like <Innkeeper>, until they're hurt or in combat.
• Player Nameplates: friendly players show just their name and guild until they're hurt or in combat, with an icon for group members and the Battle.net logo for friends.
• Quest Nameplates: a quest icon and your progress (3/8) beside creatures you need for a quest. In a party, it can count everyone's progress.

Tools

• Console Variables: a Settings page to search, change, and reset the game's console variables (CVars).

Settings

Type /fpp or open Options > AddOns > Forever++. The Modules page lists every module, by category, with a checkbox to turn it on or off. Click a module to see what it does and change its options. The search box at the top finds a module or option by name.

The Defaults button at the top right puts Forever++ back to how it started (Recommended Defaults), or also turns on Fishing Cast, Skip Cinematics, Auto Screenshot, Currency Bar, Hide Beta Feedback, Short Channel Names, Easy Delete, and Auto Weapon Buff (Developer's Defaults). It only resets Forever++, not Blizzard's settings.

Commands

Some modules add their own commands:

/way, /rl, and /clear only work while their module is on, and are left to another addon that already has them.

Feedback

Forever is still in beta and the client changes between patches. If something breaks, or you'd like a change or a new feature, leave a comment here or open an issue on GitHub.
