MaelstromBar

# MaelstromBar

A 5-square bar that tracks **Maelstrom Weapon** stacks for Enhancement Shamans, Retail-style. Built for the **World of Warcraft: Forever (Classic+)** client. Standalone: no libraries or other addons required.

## Features

- 5 squares that fill up with your stacks, with a different color at 5 stacks.
- Shown with at least 1 stack or in combat, or always (option).
- Movable through the interface Edit Mode if your client has one, otherwise with `/mw move`.
- Glow on your Lightning Bolt action-bar button at 5 stacks (option).
- Options panel in the AddOns menu: colors, scale, glow, test.
- Works in every client language.

## Installation

Copy the `MaelstromBar` folder into `World of Warcraft/_forever_/Interface/AddOns/`, then `/reload` or restart the game. If the addon is flagged as out of date, tick "Load out of date AddOns".

## Options

Options > AddOns > MaelstromBar, or `/mw options`.

## Main commands

- `/mw options`: open the options panel
- `/mw move` / `/mw lock`: unlock / lock the bar so you can move it
- `/mw always`: always show the bar, on/off
- `/mw color <r> <g> <b>`: color of stacks 1 to 4 (values from 0 to 1)
- `/mw glow`: action-bar glow on/off
- `/mw test <0-5>`: simulate stacks to check the display

## Troubleshooting

- **The bar stays empty in combat:** with stacks active, type `/mw debug` and check that the buff shows up. If it has another name, use `/mw aura <exact name>`.
- **No glow:** make sure the spell is on an action bar, then try `/mw test 5`.
