Stop standing in fire!
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!

Features
- 4 distinct audible alerts for different types of damage
- High Alert - Dungeon/raid encounter AOE that you want to get out of it ASAP
- Low Alert - PvP and low damage AOE, use your best judgment whether or not to move
- Fail Alert - AOE you should have moved out of the way of, but it's too late (e.g. KZ void zone, Sindragosa bomb)
- Friendly Fire Alert - AOE radiating from a teammate's body, one of you needs to move
- Tuned for dungeons and raids in original vanilla WoW, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria
- Alert you before you start taking damage (when possible, in some cases)
- Alert you during vehicle fights when your vehicle is in danger (e.g. Malygos, Flame Leviathan)
- Tank and non-tank specific alerts
- Visual alerts available when used with Weak Auras or Power Auras Classic (optional)
- Statistical information of alerts when used with Recount or Skada (optional)
- GTFO-specific volume slider
- Small memory footprint and very little CPU usage
- Option to ignore alerts for trivial content
- Option to auto-unmute sounds if you play without sound on

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.
I've got a lot of test data ready for Eternal Palace, and I'm trying to get as much data as I can for Mechagon, the big dungeon of not standing in things...
...unfortunately, I'm kind of stuck because I took a break in 8.1.5 and when I got back, my guild was gone and nobody wants an iLvl 400 tank, so I'm trying my best to find alternative ways to gear up and pug my way to verifying these alerts. Apologies if this ends up taking a while.
thank you!!!

I was afraid of this. I'm going to move to another dropdown library that's not Blizzard's.

My tests appear to be working out so far, so I'll push it next update tonight!
/Bump :-)
Hi and thanks for your great addon !
Ok so I've been dying a lot on progressing Stormwall mythic, after some digging I realised GTFO isn't working for the Freezing Tidepool puddles on the floor after the Sea Swell cast...
Any ideas guys?? Much obliged !
In reply to Bumfluff:
Hey there! Sorry I was away, so I didn't have a chance to respond.
Because I don't have the ability to test this personally, I'll need your help to verify it.
In reply to Zensunim:
Much obliged buddy, I shall let you know !
BTW is there any where I can support you for your great addon ?
In reply to Zensunim:
Much obliged buddy !
I will try it out !
Thank you via Paypal pchris****s
In reply to Bumfluff:
Aww, thank you Bumfluff! :) Hoping it works out properly. If so, I will be able to update the addon so you don't need "Experimental Mode" turned on for it to work.
If it feels too spammy or annoying, let me know that too. I can make adjustments to frequency or other damage thresholds.
In reply to Zensunim:
Hey buddy, sorry only just now tried it in LFR Stormwall and no luck I'm afraid :-(
In reply to mythago:
I was only going by Mythic logs, didn't realize this was in LFR too. I will check spell numbers to see if they're different or match up.
In reply to mythago:
I retested it in LFR. It doesn't go off in LFR because it doesn't do enough damage to do an alert. In Heroic and Mythic, it should give you an alert. It's part of the main addon now so you don't need to keep Experimental Mode on anymore!
In reply to Zensunim:
Hey buddy !
Ok we are now progging mythic Jaina and GTFO seems not to be working for the Searing Pitch spell=287365 fire patches unfortunately.
I've turned on the new test option.
Help much appreciated Sir !
In reply to mythago:
Very helpful, thank you! I've added this spell in the latest version (4.48.1) needing the test option. Let me know if it works. It should only alert when you're taking damage and you're not removing your Chilling Touch debuff.
If you hop in the fire quickly and jump out to remove your debuff, it shouldn't make a sound. If you hop in and stay in the fire after the debuff is removed, it should make a sound.
Also, when you find new spells like this that need to be added, start a new comment thread because it's easier for me to find the post and respond to it more quickly! Thanks!
In reply to Zensunim:
I will do Sir :-)
Many thanks buddy !!
In reply to mythago:
Works perfectly !
Much obliged buddy xD
In reply to mythago:
Thanks for testing it! I'll make it official in the next version.
Used this addon for 2 years now.. Any possibility that you will make the options for the sound to go through different channels? The high dmg alert is insanely loud even with volume set to 1
In reply to ManLeePig:
I used to have an option that did that, but it caused taint issues back in Mists of Pandaria, so I turned it off. I think Blizzard fixed the issue that causes the taint issues, so I've re-enabled the feature. Please let me know if it starts throwing errors or I'll have to find an alternative solution.
