is it possible to give a msg to party/raid about silences/interrupts or do i still need a macro - holy priest
thanks ;)
In reply to amey0:
Nope. You need a macro or WA for that.
In reply to millanzarreta:
Do you know a WA that does this?
In reply to kancore_atago:
No, but if what you want is to notify to party when you use certain spells, it is something that is quite easy to do on your own by WA or in a less advanced way by a macro.
LoseControl for The Burning Crusade released!
The WoW TBC API version has fewer limitations than WoW Classic API, the LibClassicDurtaions library is no longer required (obviously still required for the Classic version). This means more accurate times when displaying buffs, debuffs, and interrupts icons.
Class spells have been updated to reflect the TBC changes.
All TBC interrupt spells have been added/updated.
All the new TBC buffs and debuffs have been added, including both the PvP changes and the new PvE spells from Dungeons, Raids, and Open World.
Even so, being the first early version of LoseControl TBC, it is possible that some spells are missing, or that one has been falsely included that should not be. It is also very possible that something does not work correctly or bugs occur. Please, for any of these issues, do not hesitate to open an incident here in order to continue improving LoseControl.
The interrupt duration reduction from the Shaman Talent "Focused Mind" and the Paladin Talent "Improved Concentration Aura" is currently only taken into account for the player himself. Future releases will try to improve this behavior to show accurate values for party and raid members and an estimate for enemies.
In reply to millanzarreta:
Thanks for the update man!
is it possible to add spell lockouts to this? Would be big appreciated since being locked out is almost as bad as being stunned for some classes.
In reply to gizkalol:
Yes, it is already implemented. It is enabled by default for all units except player, go to LoseControl options (Esc -> Interface -> LoseControl), go to "player" subsection, and enable interrupt category for this unit. Enjoy!
Found an updated similar addon here for TBC while we wait for an update: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/loca-loss-of-control-alerter-for-tbc-classic
update would be greatly appreciated, one of the best addons <3 <3 <3
update for TBC please :) thanks
Any chance for TBC Classic update?
In reply to GregoryWW:
Yes of course, this addon will be updated to TBC Classic. This version may take a while to be ready, I hope I can release it before TBC launch (1 June).
In reply to millanzarreta:
Thanks for the update ;)

I will investigate it

Awesome to hear! Any chance we can get an alpha/beta version meanwhile?
Hi,
The option to disable red bars on action bar does not function properly. Issues:
1) The bar still becomes dark when under CC effects
2) Some cooldowns that are active, randomly do not show up when under CC affects (for example, if my Paralysis CD is 10 seconds and Kick CD is 5 seconds, the kick CD might show if I'm in CC but the Paralysis CD doesn't show)
Is there an alternative method perhaps?
In reply to lukasani:
Hi.
About the issues:
1) This works as expected. In WoW the bar becomes dark under some CC types (for example this happens for polymorph, blind, and fear effects, but not for stun, frozen, and sap effects). This was already happening before they included the new red bars cooldown when you are under CC effect (you can see it in wow classic for example). In summary, this is not an addon problem and it is working as expected.
2) Yep this is a bug, When you are under a CC effect longer than the remaining cooldown of a spell, the cooldown of this spell is not displayed correctly. In the next version, it should be fixed. Meanwhile, as a temporary solution, you can go to line 5144 of LoseControl.lua file and comment it. To do this, change the text of that line:
to this:
Ty for the report. Regards.
In reply to millanzarreta:
Hi,
Thank you! On the first issue, would it be possible to prevent the action bars from becoming dark? It would go hand in hand with the current feature. I think so at least, since the high intent is to make the action bars clean and visible during CC. Unfortunately I've no expertise in Lua or WoW UI things, so not sure if this would be a tough/possible feature to implement.
Regarding second issue or the bug, that fix did not work. Nothing happens with that line changed (CC duration appears on bar when CCd).
Thanks for your attention!
In reply to lukasani:
Hi.
Sorry, about the first "issue", it's the expected behaviour of the bars since the vanilla wow, so, there is no planned to add any functionality to modify this behaviour. I suppose it is something that could be modified with an addon, but this is outside the scope of this addon, and I do not have time to investigate it sorry.
About the second issue, are you sure you have the option enabled? This option is disabled by default, remember to enable it in the options. I have not tested it, but I suppose that this change may not work if you use an addon that modifies the default action bars (such as Dominos or Bartender4), it is designed to work on Blizzard's default action bars. With this option enabled the CC duration text should not appear on action bars when CCd (even if you use the original LoseControl or the new modification I suggested). It works for me, the modification that I had suggested the only thing that changes is that when an spell is on CD this CD should always be shown (even if the player is in a CC effect), since there was a bug where if the CD effect was shorter than the CC effect, then the CD of this spell was not showed.
