Spy (WoW Forever)

Detects nearby enemy players and alerts you.

The classic Spy addon (1.3.8), adapted to World of Warcraft: Forever. Same window, lists, alerts and options as the original.

Before you start

Type /spy nameplates, or turn on in Options > Nameplates both enemy nameplates (V key) and Always show nameplates. Forever closes the combat log to addons, so Spy sees enemies through their nameplates, your target, focus and mouseover (about 40 yards). Without "Always show nameplates", the game only shows nameplates in combat and Spy only sees the enemies you mouse over.

Features

• Nearby list of enemy players with level, class and guild. Click a row to target the player.
• Alerts with sound: new enemy, Kill On Sight player, enemy stealthing (Stealth, Vanish, Prowl).
• Kill On Sight and Ignore lists, with reasons. Shift + click a row, the right-click menu, or /spy kos First Last.
• Watched guilds: an alert when a member of a guild you chose is near you, enemy or not. /spy guild Guild Name: reason, or right-click a player > Spy.
• Watch list for players of your own faction (ninja looters, griefers): an alert when one is near you or joins your group. /spy watch First Last: reason, or right-click a player > Spy.
• Statistics: every enemy you met, with wins and losses.
• Combat map: a skull on the world map for each fight (green win, red loss).
• Sharing detections with your party, raid or guild (off by default).
• Your window, your way: class icons, skull and guild markers on the rows, levels coloured by difficulty, scale, width, row height, font, texture, transparency.
• Options window in the game's own style, with a live preview of the Spy window. /spy config or right-click the minimap button.
• Minimap button: left-click shows the window, right-click opens the options.

Commands

Good to know

• Spy only sees enemies within nameplate range. An enemy you cannot see is not detected.
• Spy runs whether or not you are flagged for PvP, and is always off in dungeons and raids.
• A win is your killing blow (or your pet's); a loss comes from Blizzard's death recap.
