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.
Hi!
Would it be possible to add Bladestorm? Spell ID: 167232 Here is the wowhead link: https://www.wowhead.com/spell=167232/bladestorm
It's cast by the Grom'kar Battlemaster in Iron Docks (npc=83025) and apparently also Pitwarden Gwarnok (npc=84520).
In reply to aisenfaire:
Didn't I already add Bladestorm for you?! Oh, Iron Docks. 😉 Will be in the next update!
Does anyone know any alternatives for higher keys?
This plugin is unfortunately useless for half the crap that's trying to kill me, I'm a casting healer, so this functionality is essential for a good run.
In reply to JacobWonder:
I need to know what functionality is missing or not working on high keys so they can be added to the addon. I don't do keys in the 20s, so I'm dependent on the community to give me bug reports.
It'd be useful to let me know:
Please put this addon on WoWUp!
In reply to HimeaCurse:
You can get it if you add WowInterface or Wago to your sources on WoWUp.
feel like their might be a few things in SWP (tbc classic) missing
potentially blaze patch on twins and a couple of other bits of aoe but i'll have to try take note next reset. Was just a few times where i was like 'wait GTFO isnt alerting on that'
Hi!
Could you add Bladestorm by Atal'ai Deathwalker in DOS: spell id 332671 ? It's super deadly!
Thank you and cheers!
In reply to aisenfaire:
I think this is one of those complicated ones where at low keys or M0, the damage is negligible, but at high keys, they're deadly. I'll have to add a thing to add a key or damage amount threshold for when to add an alarm.
In reply to Zensunim:
Thank you, that would be great!
P. S. I was about to also suggest that this be added:
Gal'darah's Whirling Slash for timewalking Gundrak, since it actually does so much damage: 55249, 55250, 59824, 59825 (Wowhead says he does 4 diff kinds of Whirling Slash).
But maybe the damage threshold warning will cover it?
In reply to aisenfaire:
Crap, I forgot to do Gundrak. I'll make a note about that...
In reply to Zensunim:
Many thanks!
Can you add Spinning Up (spell ID 332156) from De Other Side dungeon (Mechagon part)? Sometimes they kill me without me noticing. I think the same is true for Bladestorm 332671 from the Hakkar part of the dungeon, too.
Could this addon be uploaded to github so addon managers can retrieve future updates? The new Curse API will prevent managers from working, so they will have to fetch addons from either Github or a hub like WowUp's. Thanks!
In reply to FatRat_:
Wago.io and WowInterface are also two alternatives you can use with WoWup. If I migrate to Git, I may end up using Github then. :)
'Burn' the ability from flame column on Zul'jin in Zul'aman isn't registered. ID on warcraft logs shows as 43217 if that helps.
In reply to Emuburger:
Thank you! It'll be added in the next update!
My Sepulcher pugging efforts have only been successful to get data for 7/11N and 2/11H bosses (and only Part 1 of Anduin's fight). If there are spells I'm missing, please let me know so I can add them!
Thank you for the last update !
Can you add Hurricane from the Coilskar Sea-Caller (Black Temple) https://tbc.wowhead.com/npc=22875/coilskar-sea-caller
In reply to Killmore81:
Sorry, I missed this post. I'll it into the next update!
Edit: Actually, I didn't miss this post, I did add hurricane, but I got the spell ID wrong when I pasted it in... oops. Will be fixed in the next update!
