GTFO: Stop standing in fire!
Supported Versions: Retail, Classic
GTFO provides an audible alert when you're standing in something you're not supposed to be standing in. In some cases, you'll be warned before you start taking damage. This mod improves your situational awareness and is recommended for dungeon divers and raiders of all skill levels as even the most seasoned veteran sometimes needs a reminder to GTFO.
It's particularly useful for individuals that play with their spell graphics turned down as well as assisting with PvP when you can't tell who's casting the AOE.
Important Announcement: As with any new expansion or content patch, there may be alerts that are untested as well as encounter changes from Beta/PTR. Bug reports are highly appreciated!

Usage
Install and you're ready to go.
You can configure the mod by typing "/gtfo options" or by navigating to Options->Interface->AddOns->GTFO.
To use the "Play sounds when muted" option and still hear GTFO sounds, your "Master Volume" slider must be set to a value higher than 0%.
Weak Auras Integration
GTFO can be set up with Weak Auras to provide visual alerts in addition to (or in lieu of) the audible alerts.
- Install the Weak Auras addon
- Type "/wa" in game to bring up the Weak Auras menu
- Click "Texture", "Text", or "Icon"
- Click the "Trigger" tab
- Change the "Type" to "Event"
- Change the "Event" to "GTFO Alert"
- Check "Alert Type" and select a GTFO alert type
- Set a short number (like .1) in Duration
- Use the other configuration options to fine-tune your alert
Power Auras Integration
GTFO can be set up with Power Auras to provide visual alerts in addition to (or in lieu of) the audible alerts.
- Install the Power Auras Classic addon
- Type "/powa" in game to bring up the Power Auras menu
- Click "Page 1" to create a character-only alert or "Global 1" to create an account-wide alert
- Click "new" to create a new alert
- Change the dropdown value for "Activation By:" to "GTFO Alert"
- Select your alert type: High/Low/Fail/Friendly Fire
- Use the other configuration options to fine-tune your alert
Recount/Skada Integration
GTFO can be set up with Recount or Skada to provide detailed statistical information of alerts.
A word of caution: the damage amount displayed on GTFO Alerts may not be fully indicative of the total damage done, especially with fail alerts. For example: if you're hit by a tornado, the damage and fail alert from the tornado picking you up could be 5k, but the fall damage when you hit the ground afterwards is 100k. The amount recorded by Recount/Skada will be 5k.
Hello, can u add [Hell Rain] / spellid = 38917 from arcatraz satyr ? thank you
Not working with Vazruden fire from Hellfire Ramparts (tested in heroic mode).
In reply to Milagal:
Thanks! This will be added in the next version.
I believe I am hearing GTFO in a foreign language. Is that even possible? There is some foreign language speaking in the game and it matches what GTFO would be doing. I have searched everywhere for GTFO "foreign language" and come up with nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
In reply to gjperker:
Type these:
If you hear a foreign language, it means someone messed with the sounds and you can reset the addon to default in the settings. If you don't, it's another addon.
Update for TBC please.
A simple fix for TBC (didn't test much but I'm not getting any error atm) :
at line 85 in GTFO.lua, change the value from 20000 to 30000
In reply to Zwyky:
This will enable alerts for Classic areas, not for TBC though. Classic->TBC is a little more complicated to do because TBC introduces spell IDs into the combat log where Classic actively (and annoyingly) suppressed them. Now that I have access to TBC, I can do some testing and push a new version live shortly.
In reply to Zensunim:
mvp!
In reply to Zensunim:
Yeah you are the best! :D Tank you!
Any plans for an update for TBC? Thanks
In reply to cyrusjs:
Yes, this will be coming very soon. I was not around to update it when the pre-patch happened.
I can see you spoke about custom sounds last year, is this still gong to happen?
In reply to elvixx:
Yes, in fact it does support custom sounds now, but there's no interface for it yet. The big problem right now is when I try to implement a custom sound dropdown UI libraries similar to what Prat or DBM uses, it leaves GTFO vulnerable to being blamed for various taint issues and I get bug reports that are actually about other addons that utilize those same libraries but now they're attributed to GTFO.
While I like having the very user-friendly UI, I'll probably just end up using /slash commands to handle it and put a How-To on this page and call it day for now.
In reply to Zensunim:
Is there any way to do this atm? The Netherspite blue beam makes it alert hard when you're over 35 stacks and we purposely take extra for damage parses. Just looking for a way to mute THAT one alert.
Hi,
I have been trying to combine GTFO with WA to create a chat alert about Vengeful Spirit (Lady Deathwhisper ICC) targeting the player and one more alerting that the player has been hit by the spirit.
I watched a video where all what I said occurs, and surely they used GTFO since I can clearly hear the fail alert sound.
Can that behaviour really be achieved combining GTFO and WA?
If yes, I would like an advice on which version of WA I should use since at the moment I cannot see GTFO alert as a possible event.
I am using:
Wow Client 3.3.5
GTFO 2.5.3
WA 2.0.8
Thanks in advance!
In reply to oigresita:
I don't believe GTFO and WA's integration allows you to filter by spell ID anyway, just alert type. However, if you just hook the combat log event in WA, that should suit your needs. You can use GTFO's spell fail list to find the appropriate spell ID.
I uninstalled this addon and now the LFD ui sounds are too loud. Could you tell me what settings I need to set back to default manually?
In reply to Tirasa:
GTFO doesn't make any changes to your game's volume levels. The "GTFO Volume" slider in the options only affects GTFO sounds (by playing different sounds that are recorded at different volume levels).
I am getting alerts as the off tank for giant fists, is there anyway to disable giant fists notification or have it track that I am tank spec and I should be taking giant fists?
