SafeguardReloaded

A Classic Era addon that helps you stay alive.

SafeguardReloaded warns you the moment something goes wrong — your health drops, you get stunned mid-fight, a group member disconnects, or the boss you are tanking stores a burst of extra attacks. It flashes your screen, plays an alert, prints an onscreen notification, and optionally tells your group in chat, so nobody has to notice a problem on their own.

About this addon

This is a maintained continuation of Safeguard by Tollski, which is no longer receiving updates. SafeguardReloaded picks it up where it left off, updated for the current Classic Era client and with several long-standing bugs fixed.

All original code and design is by Tollski. This fork is maintained by Rynaoki.

Features

Low health alerts

Flashes the screen when your health drops below a threshold you set
Plays an alert sound, with separate thresholds for low and critically low
Both thresholds are configurable, and screen flashing and sounds can be toggled independently

Onscreen notifications

Get notified when:

You or a group member disconnects or goes offline
You or a group member enters combat
You or a group member has low health
You or a group member is crowd controlled — stunned, silenced, feared, rooted, disarmed
A group member is logging out
A group member casts certain spells, such as Hearthstone
You or a nearby player gains a threat-altering effect — Blessing of Protection, Divine Shield, Divine Intervention, Feign Death, Vanish and similar
You become flagged or unflagged for PvP
An enemy stores extra attacks, such as Thrash

Every category can be switched on or off separately, and most can be set independently for yourself and for your group.

Automatic group chat messages

Let your group know without typing, when:

Your health is critically low
You are casting Hearthstone or a similar spell
You are crowd controlled
You are logging out
A deadly enemy targeting you stores extra attacks

Quality of life

PvP flag timer — a draggable window counting down until you are unflagged
Raid frame icons — connection and combat status shown directly on compact raid frames
Floating Combat Text — optionally force the interface option to stay enabled
Error interception — addon errors are printed to chat instead of throwing popups

Slash commands

/sgr or /safeguardreloaded — open the options panel
/sg or /safeguard — same, kept from the original addon
/sgrdebug — print the last 50 debug log entries
/sgrtest — print the loaded addon version

The options panel is also available from the minimap addon compartment and under Game Menu → Options → AddOns → SafeguardReloaded.

Installation

Install through the CurseForge app, or manually:

Download the zip
Extract it into World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns\
Make sure the folder is named exactly SafeguardReloaded — the addon will not load otherwise
Restart the game

If you used the original Safeguard, disable or remove it first. Both addons register the same /sg and /safeguard commands, and running them together sends duplicate messages to your group.

Your existing Safeguard settings are imported automatically the first time SafeguardReloaded loads alongside it.

Compatibility

Classic Era 1.15.9
A TOC for TBC Classic 2.5.5 is also included
No dependencies

Group members running the original Safeguard can still exchange status information with SafeguardReloaded users — the addon message prefix was deliberately left unchanged, so mixed groups keep working.

Bugs and suggestions

Please report issues on GitHub: https://github.com/Rynaoki/SafeguardReloaded

When reporting a bug, run /sgrdebug and include the output along with your client version. That makes it far easier to track down.
