isiLive

# isiLive

**A Mythic+ group helper for World of Warcraft.** One window that shows who has which key, how the group is doing, and what matters during a run.

- **For:** M+ players in pre-made groups and LFG runs

- **WoW version:** `12.0+` (Midnight) only

- **Current version:** `0.9.295`

- **Active season:** `midnight_s1` — 8 dungeons (Wing, MT, NPX, MC, AA, POS, SOT, SR)

---

## Feature highlights

- **Group Finder buff-rating hearts** — green heart markers in Blizzard LFG search results and applicant rows show which listings add useful, non-stacking class buffs for your current character.

- **One-window M+ roster** — spec, role, language, key, iLvl, Raider.IO, last-run DPS, interrupt status, leader marker, isiLive peer marker, and ghost rows after leavers.

- **Live enemy forces tools** — tooltip percentages, nameplate percentages, bottom killtracker bar, pull prediction, and combat-end refresh from the bundled MDT-synced forces database.

- **Season portal grid** — all current dungeon portals with cooldowns, availability highlights, and verified LFG target highlighting.

- **Share Keys sync** — posts your key first, then asks isiLive peers to post their own key line through the fastest AddOn-message priority path.

- **Run utility alerts** — Battle Res charges, Bloodlust cooldown, BR/Lust group announces, and separate ready sounds when Battle Res or Bloodlust becomes available during a key.

- **Configurable support tools** — Escape-menu shortcut strips, Hearthstone travel shortcut, optional player stats box, nameplate controls, runtime logs, and safe UI position locking.

## What it does

When you join a group, isiLive opens a single window with everything you want to see before and during a key:

- Who is in the group, their spec, item level, Raider.IO rating, and keystone

- Optional default-on LFG buff-rating hearts that help you pick groups and applicants by relevant class-bonus coverage before anyone joins your party

- One-click access to all 8 season dungeon portals, with live cooldowns

- Escape-menu shortcut panels for tools, travel, verified mount shortcuts, and installed/enabled supported addons

- Configurable Hearthstone travel shortcut with random owned, default item, or a specific owned Hearthstone toy

- Who can interrupt, and whose kick is still on cooldown

- Battle Res charges, Bloodlust cooldown, and separate Battle Res-ready / Bloodlust-ready alerts during a run

- The M+ timer with `+3 / +2 / +1` cutoffs live

- Forces percentage with a live pull-prediction bar and combat-end refresh so completed pulls are reflected immediately

- Default-on **forces overlay on every enemy nameplate** during a key — shows what each individual mob contributes plus the verified remaining count needed to finish enemy forces

- Forces info on the **mouseover tooltip** for any mob in a key

- Optional independent **player stats box** with live primary/secondary stats, short English labels, and separate opacity/font/lock controls

- Optional **Group Finder buff-rating hearts** for applicant and search-result rows, shown only when the listed class/spec offers a relevant non-stacking group bonus for your current character

- Cyrillic-safe rendering for isiLive-owned dynamic text such as roster names, invite notices, tooltips, and dungeon labels

Everything syncs automatically between group members who run isiLive — no manual import, no `/say` spam.

---

## Install

1. Download from **CurseForge** or **Wago**, or drop the folder `isiLive/` into `World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/`.

2. Start the game. The window opens automatically the next time you join a 5-player group.

No setup required. Open the settings via **Escape → AddOns → isiLive** if you want to change language, sounds, or auto-open behavior.

The optional Escape-menu Addons panel shows shortcuts only for supported addons that are installed and enabled. External shortcuts use the target addon's registered slash handler directly after any verified load-on-demand load; they do not write slash text into chat.

---

## Main window

The window opens automatically when you join a group and closes when you leave. You can also open or close it yourself:

- **`Ctrl + F9`** — toggle the window

- **Red X** in the top-right corner — close it

- **Lock icon** in the top-right — prevents dragging so the window doesn't move by accident

- Drag the title bar to move the window. The position is remembered, and the window stops at the WoW screen edge instead of being draggable outside the game view.

### Layouts

The window comes in four layouts. Click the button in the title bar to switch:

| Button | Layout | What you get |

|---|---|---|

| **M+** | Compact main | Full roster + all M+ tools stacked (default) |

| **M** | Main | Roster + tools in a classic stacked view |

| **H** | Horizontal | Slim tool strip — just the essentials |

| **V** | Vertical | Small palette with markers and group tools |

The selected layout is remembered across sessions.

## The roster

Columns in order: **Spec · Name · Lang · Key · iLvl · RIO · DPS · Kick**

- **Spec** — role-sorted: tanks first, then healers, then DPS

- **Lang** — spoken-language flag for the player

- **Key** — keystone and level, short code (e.g. `MT +14`, `DAWN+12`). Red if this player owns the key you joined for.

- **iLvl** — equipped item level

- **RIO** — current Raider.IO score. After a run, a green `(+X)` shows the gain: `(+12)3521`

- **DPS** — overall DPS from the last dungeon, read from Blizzard's in-game damage meter

- **Kick** — green `ready`, red seconds on cooldown, or `-` if the spec has no interrupt. Heal specs without interrupt (Holy Paladin, Mistweaver Monk, Restoration Druid, Discipline / Holy Priest) correctly show `-` instead of a stale cooldown. **Hover** over the cell to see extra interrupts the player has via talents (e.g. Protection Paladin's Avenger's Shield) — synced live across the group through isiLive.

### Markers next to names

- **Blue heart** — this player also runs isiLive

- **Crown** — this player is the group leader

- **Ghost row** (greyed out) — a player who left the group. Kept visible until the group dissolves or you reload, so you can still see who was there after a wipe or dungeon reset.

- **Right-click a row** to whisper that player

### Ready check

During a ready check, the row background changes color: **green** for ready, **red** for declined or no answer, **yellow** (with sandglass) for still waiting. After the ready check ends, ready/declined colors stay visible for 20 seconds so you can glance at who responded how.

---

## Tools in the main window

### M+ Utility Row

- **BR** — Battle Res charges and cooldown with icon, plus optional ready TTS when a charge returns

- **Lust** — Bloodlust/Heroism cooldown with icon and remaining time

- **M+ Timer** — `+3 / +2 / +1` cutoffs counting down live, plus death penalty; resets immediately when the key completes or is aborted

### Killtracker (Enemy Forces)

A bottom bar that shows your kill-count percentage:

- **Green** < 80%, **Yellow** < 95%, **Red** ≥ 95%

- After a verified LFG invite target announce, the bar shows the target dungeon and key level right-aligned until the key starts

- During an active key, the verified dungeon name stays visible on the progress bar as a left-aligned outlined label with the started key level read from the active Mythic+ timer snapshot

- During a pull, a light-blue segment on the right shows **how much the current pull will add** (`+X.XX%`) — so you can see mid-pull whether it's enough

- When combat ends, the tracker refreshes Blizzard's live scenario progress immediately, so the last pull is counted before the next pull or boss engagement

### Teleport Grid

All 8 season dungeon portals in one place:

- **Icon + short code** when ready (e.g. `MT`, `DAWN`)

- **Cooldown timer** when on cooldown, normalized to the current portal cooldown cycle

- **Highlight** when a portal becomes available

- **Highlight + gold border** on the right portal when you accept an LFG invite or create your own LFG listing for a dungeon

### Markers (for everyone)

Eight world-marker buttons: **Square, Triangle, Diamond, Cross, Star, Circle, Moon, Skull**. Anyone in the group can use them — not just the leader.

### Role icons = one-click marks

Click the **tank icon** in a roster row to put a **blue square** on that player. Click the **healer icon** for a **green triangle**. Works for everyone, not only the leader.

### Group leader buttons

Only enabled when you are the leader:

- **Ready Check**

- **Countdown 10s / Countdown 0s** (pull timers)

### Share Keys

Posts everyone's keystone in group chat — yours first, then other isiLive users reply with their own. The button has a 30-second cooldown after a real local share or successful peer request; receiving clients also lock their button for 30 seconds whenever a valid peer request arrives, even if they have no key to post.

### Re-Sync

Forces a fresh sync round. Use it if someone's iLvl or key looks stuck. Asks compatible LibKeystone addons for their keys too. 10-second cooldown.

## Mythic+ features

### Forces on mob tooltips

When you hover a mob during a key, the tooltip gains a line:

```

+3 progress (1.25% of 240)

```

That tells you how much that mob is worth and what fraction of the dungeon-total it represents — handy to decide whether a pull gets you over a threshold. Localized in all 8 supported languages (DE: `+3 Fortschritt (1,25% von 240)`).

The percent is computed from the bundled MDT-synced forces DB, **not** from Blizzard's `GetUnitCriteriaProgressValues` API directly. That API in 12.0+ protected contexts can return cumulative dungeon progress instead of the per-mob contribution; reading from the DB is deterministic and immune to that drift.

### Forces overlay on enemy nameplates

Default-on text over every hostile unit's nameplate during a key; Settings -> Nameplates can disable it or hide the remaining-needed suffix.

```

1.16%

```

Configurable: percent toggle, font size 8-24, position around the nameplate (LEFT/RIGHT/TOP/BOTTOM). Same DB-based source as the tooltip — deterministic mob contribution, never the cumulative progress.

### Player stats box

An optional standalone stats box can be enabled in Settings. It is independent from the M+, H, and V layouts and can be moved separately.

- Shows the class-appropriate primary stat (`Str`, `Agi`, or `Int`) plus `Crit`, `Haste`, `Mast`, `Vers`, `Leech`, and `Speed` when Blizzard's live APIs provide those values

- Uses short English labels only

- Values and percentages are right-aligned for compact scanning; the value column keeps a stable compact width for three- and four-digit values, and the percent column fits values up to `(999.99%)`

- Can be locked, hidden, moved, and configured with separate background opacity and relative font size

- Starts disabled by default

Plater / Platynator users: a soft warning is shown in Settings if either is loaded — both addons can already display M+ forces on nameplates via their own scripts, so you can disable isiLive's overlay there if you prefer to avoid duplication.

### Battle Res / Bloodlust chat announce

During an active key, every time someone in the group casts a Battle Res or starts Bloodlust, isiLive posts a short line:

```

Alice used BR

Bob started Bloodlust

```

You can turn either announce off in the settings. Non-isiLive group members won't see the message — it's shared only between isiLive users.

### Pre-key group view

When you accept an LFG invite, the matching portal highlights and the center notice includes a clickable portal button from the verified listing activity. The accepted-invite notice shows dungeon, title, leader, and source rows. The dungeon row includes the key level when the level is available from the accepted context or as an exact `+N` in the verified LFG group title. The chat tells you which dungeon and level you joined, and the bottom M+ killtracker mirrors that verified target as a right-aligned dungeon + key-level label until the key starts.

### Group Finder class-bonus hints

Optional Group Finder hints help you scan applicant and search-result rows for useful class buffs before you join a group or accept someone into your own listing. The goal is to answer one question quickly: **what does this group add for my current character that is actually useful and not already duplicated?**

- **Search result rows** show compact green heart texture markers directly inside the Blizzard row, independent of third-party class-badge addons.

- **Applicant rows** show language flags beside the applicant name and the same heart markers to the right of the class badge when that applicant offers a relevant non-utility group bonus.

- **Tooltips** add localized bonus text per listed class/spec, so you can see which buffs created the marker score.

- **Relevance is player-aware:** physical, magic, intellect, attack-power, stamina, mastery, versatility, enemy-damage and universal damage bonuses are counted only when they matter for your current character profile.

- **Non-stacking bonuses are deduplicated:** two players with the same class buff count once per search result, so the marker score reflects coverage instead of duplicate noise.

- **Utility stays separate:** Battle Res, Bloodlust, PI, Devotion Aura, Atrophic Poison, Healthstone and similar utility notes may appear in tooltips, but they do not inflate the compact green heart score.

- **Heart scale:** 1 heart means one useful non-stacking buff, 2 hearts means two, 3 hearts means three, and 4 hearts means four or more.

- **Default-on setting:** **Display -> Group Finder: Buff rating hearts**. The settings description shows the same fixed-size green heart texture examples using `media/heart_bonus_green.tga`.

### Ghost rows after wipes / reloads

If the group breaks up or someone disconnects, their data stays visible as a greyed-out row. You can still see what spec/key they had. Joining a new group clears the old ghosts.

## FAQ

**Why don't I see DPS after a run?**

DPS is read from Blizzard's own damage meter. If Blizzard hasn't finalized the session yet, isiLive briefly retries. If the damage meter has no data for a player (e.g. late joiner), the DPS column stays empty rather than showing a guess.

**Why is the Key column empty for another player?**

They either don't have a keystone, or they don't have isiLive or a LibKeystone-compatible addon to share it.

**Why did my portal highlight disappear?**

You're already inside the dungeon, or the LFG queue was cancelled, or the group dissolved — any of those clears the highlight.

**Why is the main window gone in a raid?**

Raid groups (6+ members) are a hard-off state: UI hidden, background sync off. It comes back when the group drops to party size.

**Why did the chat announce not fire?**

BR/Lust announce only fires during an active M+ key. Also check the Chat Announcements toggles in the settings.
