Nova World Buffs
Classic WoW world buff timers and pre buff drop warnings so you never miss a buff.
Novaspark-Arugal for any questions.
What it does
Warning msgs in chat window, middle of the screen, and guild chat.
Warnings for each channel and time left can be turned on and off with /wb config.
Current warning times are 30/15/10/5/1 minutes left until buff reset.
Guild msgs are configured so only 1 person online at a time will send warning msgs to avoid spam.
Guild chat is notified and timer reset if a buff NPC is killed infront of a member with the addon installed (mind control reset).
Any guild member can type !wb in guild chat to display all timers.
Display timers to yourself by typing /wb.
Display timers to any channel by typing /wb <channelname> Example: /wb party or /wb say.
Display timers automatically when you log on.
Display timers on the Orgrimmar/Stormwind world map.
Songflowers
Songflowers will show on the Felwood world map.
Timers will display beside each flower on the worldmap and minimap if that flower has an active timer.
Type /sf to show songflower timers to yourself.
Type /sf map to open the felwood map for viewing all active timers.
Type /sf <channelname> to display songflower timers to the specified channel.
Shift + click on a songflower map icon to send that flower's timer to guild chat with location name and coords.
If you see a flower get picked it will tell your guild chat the next spawn, can be disabled in /wb config.
Prints to chat window when you receive a new songflower timer from someone, can be disabled in /wb config.
Also tracks Whipper Root Tuber/Night Dragon's Breath.
Track your World Buffs across all alts
Type /buffs or click on the [WorldBuffs] prefix in chat to open this window.
You can also open this buff window by clicking on any of the map icons from this addon.
Darkmoon Faire
Track Darkmoon Faire spawn/despawn times and where it will spawn next with map marker.
Track how long left on your buff cooldown from the Darkmoon Faire so you know exactly when you can get a new buff.
Layered Realms
Tracks world buffs for each layer at the same time.
Shows you which layer you are on across all zones.
For Guild Masters:
You can disable guild msgs from this addon by adding any of the following to your public guild note, any combination of them works and can be along side your normal note.
#nwb1 = Disable All msgs.
#nwb2 = Disable timers msgs.
#nwb3 = Disable buff dropped msgs.
#nwb4 = Disable !wb command.
#nwb5 = Disable Songflowers msgs.
Please type /wb config after installing this addon and choose what timer messages you want to receive, you may find it too spammy with the default settings.
Localization
If you would like to help with localization so this works in your region I need both yell msgs each buff NPC yells out when a buff drops.
Check the localization files in the addon if you think your locale is missing something.
Supporting
I was reluctant to put this up but a few people have been asking and I've already seen people on reddit trying to impersonate me when people asked how to support.
Here's my real link: https://www.paypal.me/venomisto
All support is appreciated but please don't donate if it's not easy for you, I enjoy making this and seeing so many people get use out of it is enough reward.
I'm seeing the same LUA error with the latest version
In reply to rdobkins:
Which realm and faction please? If it's still happening DM me your discord and I'll send you a fix to try, or anyone else that comes here with this error feel free to DM me your discord.
Please add support for the Russian language
In reply to xAmonitx:
It has russian translations already, only a few options in /wb config aren't translated and a few new text lines aren't done.

In reply to UristMacFrench:
Hmm, nothing was changed with that part in this new version, maybe this bug was there the whole time but rare? I'll fix it for next version and see if anyone else posts this error. Thanks fort the report.
Version 1.80 is up.
Added a Copy/Paste button in the timers window so you can click it and copy the timers, there's also a "Discord" checkbox that adds color formatting to the msg just for Discord pasting (Keep in mind people may be pasting their own local timestamps).
Zandalar buff drops should now give an earlier 50 second warning if someone in guild is near the Mothor NPC or anywhere in Bootybay, the normal 30 second warning still exists for people in other places on Yojamba island out of /say range from Mother.
Note: If person sending the guild msg is using an old version they may still give a 30 second warning when it's really 50 seconds until drop, it may take a few weeks for everyone to update so it works properly.
Made improvements so more guilds get a Zandalar drop msg even if they have no members in STV that see the buff drop.
Moved the map timer icons for Org/Stromwind to the same spot as on layered realms for non-layered realms, this is so they stay in the same spot when realms are switched back and forth between having layers and not having them. This is a neater spot further towards the corner anyway.
When you receive a new timer for Ony/Nef NPC being killed you will now get a sound alert and a msg in middle of the screen and in chat even if there was no guild chat msg because no one saw the NPC actually die. New config options added to disable any of these msgs or the sound if needed.
Added respawn timer info to /wb window and minimap icon when a NPC is currently dead, note that the onyxia NPC respawn time is random between 6 and 8 minutes since he was killed so there's no way for an exact timer, this gives you a warning at 6 minutes it will spawn soon.
Added a chat msg for when Ony/nef NPC respawns after a kill (Random respawn time between 6-8 minutes).
Added flash wow client when minimized for NPC's being killed, there's a new option in /wb config to disable this if you like.
Added a "Show Stats" checkbox in the /buffs window to show how many times you got a buff (this was already in config but not well known).
There is also an "All" checkbox to shows all the buffs you ever got without needing the buff to be currently on your char, just tick the "All" button on the buffs window.
In The Next Update: Character specific DMF buff settings have been written so you can have a different buff set for each alt, but this won't be enabled until after I fully test it during the next DMF coming up so there's no mistakes with peoples buffs, keep an eye out for that update at the start of next Darkmoon Faire.
Is it possible to put the "NPC KILLED" event into the "Flash When Minimized" section.
It would be super useful when on an alt - to know when to be more alert. Otherwise trying to catch a nef/Ony head just off the "yell" Flash is very hard for me.
Love your work and hope you consider.
In reply to fuj101:
Yeah that can be done, the next version has added more alerts and sound for NPC killed, I can add the flash too. Should be out within the next day.
In reply to Venomisto:
you are a hero.
Question - it's happened on multiple occasions where a guildy will be in an area where the buff is going to drop, and we both have this addon installed, but I'll be the one to announce it in guild chat rather than them. What's the decider on who announces? I'm suspecting alphabetical toon names, can you settle the argument? Thanks! <3
In reply to hobbyhobberson:
Yep, alphabetical from who in the guild has the addon.
Any way to link this into a discord bot to announce the pops/next cooldowns there?
Having an issue where I'm parked on STV island but not announcing heart drops to guild. No one else in guild is on the island or in BB and the drop goes unannounced in guild. It's a lvl 1 character, is there any lvl limitation to the addon? Settings:
In reply to fugglestv:
No lvl limitation, is this english client?
In reply to Venomisto:
Yes current version, English client
In reply to fugglestv:
Tested it a bunch of times, works fine for me every time. not sure what's going on with yours sorry. Does the rest of the addon work fine?
In reply to Venomisto:
Yeah on other characters it seems to work fine.
In reply to fugglestv:
If you want to spend a bit of time camping the drop we can test why, just DM me your discord.
From the buff window: DMF Buff cooldown also resets with the weekly server reset.
It does not. Server restarted at 3 am, still 1h 42m on CD can't talk to Sayge
