targetAssist
Anyone else miss MainAssist? targetAssist is my attempt to recreate the basic functionality of that wonderful addon.
targetAssist provides unit frames that track tanks and main assists in your party or raid, along with their current targets. You can position the frames by dragging the header bar. Targeting buttons can be arranged above or below the header (see the Appearance section of the configuration options):
Right click on the header bar to bring up a context menu that will allow you to select the tracked party/raid members and configure the addon:
Left click on party/raid members or their targets to target those units. Right clicking on the party/raid member buttons brings up a menu that allows you to change the order in which they appear:
Right click on a party/raid member target to change the raid icon on that unit:
The interface options panel allows you to customize the visual appearance and behavior of the addon:
In addition to setting up the addon to automatically track tanks and main assists set through the default UI, you can also broadcast your current settings to other members of your party/raid who are running the addon:

r33 was a partial patch for the 1.1 feature set and definitely broken! I thought the Curse updater and project page were only supposed to show Beta and Release commits, but I may need to check into this.
The feature set is now complete and 1.1b1 should be functional. Alternatively the 1.0 release should also be solid.
1.0rc4 was working fine. I updated to r33 and now I see several errors reported by Bugsack. I don't know if it is even working since I didn't join a party yet.
1x targetAssist-1.0\core.lua:278: '=' expected near 'end'

Thank you.
Thank you.
The only other addition would be to be able to add a target by targeting that person whether they are marked as a tank/assist in party/raid mode. The original had a 'Target Highlighted' option as well as one where you could just type any name.
otherwise it seems to work well!
PS thank you for your addon. It's really helpful.
When anything is extracted from the libs folder in targetAssist-1.0rc1.zip file using 7-zip, a dialog pops up to say that certain files being extracted already exist in my temp folder, do I want to overwrite or not, etc. The problem is, it hangs and I can't do anything. I have to End Task.
Windows Explorer also shows the dialog for the already existing file, but doesn't hang. I haven't tried other extraction programs like WinZip or WinRAR, but in any case I have never seen that dialog that the files are already in the temp folder with any other compressed files, zip or RAR or whatever.
Should be fixed in 1.0rc3.
