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.
#nwb6 = Disable all timer data from outside the guild.
#nwb7 = Disable NPC was killed msgs.
#nwb8 = Disable NPC has started walking 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.

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.
Sometimes the addon prevents me from entering arenas or bgs
In reply to vntdolbojebi:
It's a problem on Blizzards end that's been around forever, many addons effect the BG/Arena enter button because of taint and the msg you get often points at the wrong addon. Some pvp addons show an additional enter box you click instead or you can right click the minimap button to enter too I think.
The recent update 2.12 added a separator line to the minimap button tooltip, but also somehow added that line to every tooltip in the game. I commented out lines 4821-4828 in NovaWorldBuffs.lua and the lines went away. Not sure how or why that line was being attached to every tooltip, but hopefully you can figure out why!
In reply to trademark_designs:
Hmm it doesn't do that for me, do you use any kind of tooltip addon? Could you DM me your discord please so I can test a fix?
In reply to Venomisto:
I have the same problem:

I use TSM, All The Things Classic addon that edit tooltips as well.
In reply to mintik:
Ok thanks, I'll have a fix for this out soon.
Version 2.12 is up (Requires client restart).
Added tracking for which normal and heroic dungeon daily is up, you can see this in the minimap button tooltip and timers window.
Both dungeon dailies are also shown on the Shattrath world map.
Heroic daily tracking requires someone with the addon to pick up the quest so it may take a little while after the daily changes for it to update for you.
Fixed a couple of rare lua errors.
Can you add Halaa info for all layers (like you did for Terokkar Forest tower) ?
You could also add Hellfire pvp info and Zangarmarsh
Suggestion:
Could it be relevant to add the daily heroics to Nova World Buffs? I.e. being able to see which heroic instance today's daily quest is for on the Shattrath map. This would be very useful if one is contemplating whether to abandon an existing daily quest or not.
In reply to neroliite:
Yeah I've been working on this for the past few days, should be later out today.
In reply to Venomisto:
Very exciting, much appreciated!

In reply to SArkadiy:
This looks like an error with non-layered realms. Which realm are you on?
Version 2.11 is up.
Fixed Terokkar Forest spirit tower layers showing horde while being alliance controlled (hopefully).
Fixed DMF spawn times since it was changed again, TBC and Classic realms are now out of sync it spawns in difference zones in the same month (TBC is mulgore right now and classic era is goldshire).
In reply to Venomisto:
There still seems to be an issue, anything we can provide debugging wise to help troubleshoot?
Edit: It did eventually show up, while i was putting this together but it does appear to at least be delayed by a bit, being more than a minute or two in my case.
In reply to lokirebornz:
There is a small delay after a fresh capture before data will come through. I'll probably remove this later on after I see things are working properly.
Seems like there an issue with layer sometimes showing the wrong Terokkar Forest faction, I'm looking into it.
Version 2.10 is up.
Added tracking for the spirit towers pvp objective in Terokkar Forest so it's easier to do the pvp honor daily and see which layer has the buff for your dungeon runs.
You can see tower timers when hovering the NWB minimap button, by typing /wb, and by opening the Terokkar Forest map in the bottom right corner.
You'll get a 10 minute warning in your chat window when the towers are about to reset (can be disabled in /wb config).
There is also an option for a middle of the screen warning but it's disabled by default (can be enabled in /wb config).
--A Few notes on this spirit tower tracking:
--Although the Blizzard timer at the top of the screen in Terokkar says 6 hours the actual respawn time is more like 6h and 18 minutes (So the addon may show a longer timer than the Blizzard UI).
--Blizzard removes a minute from the timer every 63 seconds instead of every 60 seconds so the respawn slowly grows over time.
--I try to estimate the time left while adding this 3 second timer drift and it may be off a little but I'll monitor this and try improve it over time, sometimes it's 2 seconds and sometimes 4 so it can be pretty random.
--It may take a day or 2 for more people to update before you see constant timers, if there's nothing showing it just means no timer currently.
--This is still in testing and will definitely need fixes, let me know of any issues.
Also added some early stuff to maybe track the hellfire rep buff in a future update if there's any kind of set timer pattern to track, if you know exactly how the timers work drop me a DM.
In reply to Venomisto:
Is there a way to add who controls halaa to the list?
In reply to Furydeath9:
I'll think about if it's worth it, it's a little sketchy tracking things without timers because it takes time for data to get around the server.
