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.

1. Install the Weak Auras addon
2. Type "/wa" in game to bring up the Weak Auras menu
3. Click "Texture", "Text", or "Icon"
4. Click the "Trigger" tab
5. Change the "Type" to "Event"
6. Change the "Event" to "GTFO Alert"
7. Check "Alert Type" and select a GTFO alert type
8. Set a short number (like .1) in Duration
9. 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.

1. Install the Power Auras Classic addon
2. Type "/powa" in game to bring up the Power Auras menu
3. Click "Page 1" to create a character-only alert or "Global 1" to create an account-wide alert
4. Click "new" to create a new alert
5. Change the dropdown value for "Activation By:" to "GTFO Alert"
6. Select your alert type: High/Low/Fail/Friendly Fire
7. 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.
