Description

1. Combat Performance Monitoring

  • Dual-Mode Tracking: Toggle instantly between Damage and Healing modes to monitor raid performance.
  • Real-Time Metrics: Displays total amounts alongside active DPS/HPS (Damage/Healing Per Second) for every unit.
  • Intelligent Data Breakdown: Click on any character or pet name to open a detailed Breakdown Window. This window shows:
    • Ability List: Every spell or attack used by that player.
    • DPS/HPS per Spell: See exactly which abilities are contributing most to their output.
    • Dynamic Column Headers: Breakdown headers automatically switch between "Dmg" and "Heal" based on the current mode.
    • Total Summary Row: A green, highlighted total row at the bottom of the breakdown for a quick summary.

2. Advanced Threat & Aggro Systems

  • Live Aggro Tracking: Displays the current Threat Percentage of every unit relative to your current target.
  • Visual Threat Alerts: Automatically color-codes the top three threat holders:
    • Red: 1st in threat.
    • Orange: 2nd in threat.
    • Yellow: 3rd in threat.
  • Pet Attribution: Specifically identifies pets and guardians, linking them clearly to their owners (e.g., "PetName (Owner's Pet)").

3. Session & Fight Management

  • Smart Fight Detection: Automatically creates a new session upon entering combat and ends it upon leaving, naming the encounter based on your target (e.g., boss name).
  • Encounter History: Stores the 10 most recent fights in a scrollable history, accessible via a dedicated dropdown menu in the top-right corner.
  • Session Switching: Allows you to view "Active" (current combat), "Current" (last finished fight), or any of the 10 stored history logs.

4. Customizable User Interface

  • Draggable & Movable: Both the Main Meter and the Breakdown Box can be moved anywhere on the screen.
  • Resizable Meter: Adjust the scale of the main window using a dedicated "grabber" handle on the bottom-right.
  • Backdrop Customization: Integrated into the modern MoP/Retail settings menu with a slider to adjust background Opacity (10% to 100%).
  • Class Coloring: Unit names are automatically colored based on their character class for instant identification.
  • Interactive Tooltips: Descriptive tooltips for all utility buttons (Settings, History, Mode Toggle).

5. Technical Integration

  • Efficient Ticker: Refreshes data every 0.5 seconds during combat or when targeting to ensure smooth performance without UI lag.
  • Slash Commands:
    • /sm: Toggles window visibility.
    • /sm reset: Wipes all current session data and fight history.
  • MoP Compatible Settings: Fully registered with the Settings.RegisterAddOnCategory API for modern client compatibility.
