⭐ Silver Battle Add-On — Core Feature Overview (Updated)

Silver Battle is a Hardcore World of Warcraft Classic survival add-on designed to keep players alive by analyzing real combat data and warning them before a death spiral begins. I am building this out to help my guild members in <Silver Chain Gang> better understand the risks while playing HC classic!

Every feature is purpose-built for the Hardcore Anniversary Realm and tailored for performance, clarity, and reliability during lethal encounters. /sb config - /sb monitor - Tips https://streamlabs.com/spinalace/tip

Configuration Window /sb config

A clean, organized control panel where players set their danger thresholds and enable alert behaviors.

✦ Threshold Controls

Players can set:

• Attackers Threshold — triggers when too many mobs are hitting you

• Health % Threshold — triggers when health drops low

• Time-to-Death Threshold — calculated from DPS over 5 seconds

Each value directly influences the danger evaluation engine.

✦ Alert Toggles

Players can independently toggle:

• Visual Alerts

• Audio Alerts

• Chat Alerts ← (Included now)

  • Sends a warning message to the chat frame during danger events

✦ Combat Monitor Access

A required button:
“Open Combat Monitor”

Opens the real-time Combat Monitoring Window.

🔹 Combat Monitoring Window

A live readout of critical combat analytics updated multiple times per second:

• Attackers: Number of enemies currently damaging the player

• Incoming DPS (5s): Rolling damage per second average

• Health %: Live HP percentage

• Time-To-Death: Estimated survival time based on incoming DPS

This window is the player’s real-time survival dashboard.

🔹 Multi-Channel Danger Alerts

Silver Battle warns players using multiple attention paths:

✦ Visual Alerts

On-screen warnings using the standard WoW frames (safe for Classic).

✦ Audio Alerts

Classic-compatible sound effects that immediately signal danger.

✦ Chat Alerts

Short, clear messages pushed to the chat frame:

• “Silver Battle Warning: Low Health!”

• “Silver Battle Alert: Too Many Attackers!”

• “Silver Battle Alert: Critical Time-To-Death!”

✦ Anti-Spam Protection

Each alert type has built-in cooldown logic so warnings remain meaningful, not overwhelming.

🔹 Hardcore-Accurate Combat Analysis

The Silver Battle add-on computes danger using true Classic data, including:

• COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED damage events

• Rolling damage queues for accurate DPS

• Distinct hostile GUID tracking

• Safe, non-protected functions only

• No combat taint

• Stable behavior during high combat load

Built specifically for Hardcore Classic and the Anniversary Realm with death-prevention as its mission.

🔹 Update-Safe Architecture

Silver Battle is designed to survive weekly Tuesday updates with minimal maintenance:

• Clean separation of core logic, UI logic, XML frames, and constants

• Easy-to-update Interface version in the .toc file

• No reliance on Retail API calls

• No modification of protected Blizzard frames

• All critical values placed in centralized constants for quick patching
