Description
Time To Drink (Forever) - WoW Forever addon v1.0.0-beta
========================================================
By Jifferoni / Deedee Megadoodu
WHY THIS EXISTS
Your tank pulled the whole room. Again. Your healer is at 4% mana,
clutching a drink they never got to open. Time To Drink watches their
mana and tells the party to hold the pull. Hydrated healers keep you
alive.
INSTALL
Copy the "TimeToDrink_Forever" folder into:
<World of Warcraft>\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\
(During the beta the folder may be _classic_beta_ instead.)
You should end up with:
...\Interface\AddOns\TimeToDrink_Forever\TimeToDrink_Forever.toc
...\Interface\AddOns\TimeToDrink_Forever\TimeToDrink_Forever.lua
Restart the game (a new addon folder isn't picked up by /reload).
If the AddOns list says "out of date", tick "Load out of date AddOns":
the interface number (16001) is the beta value and may change at launch.
OPENING IT
/ttd, the addon compartment button (the little drawer by the minimap),
or Options > AddOns > Time To Drink.
THE WINDOW
- Healer: pick from your group. Solo, you are picked automatically.
Joining a new party clears it and opens the window.
- Live mana bar: blue, turns amber below Low and red below OOM.
The red and amber zones and marker lines show where alerts fire.
- Sliders: Low and OOM. Low always stays at least 5% above OOM;
raising OOM pushes Low up with it. Mouse wheel nudges by 1%.
- Repeat alerts every: 10 to 120 seconds in 5 second steps.
- Switches: party chat alerts, on-screen warning (only you see it),
sound, and a movable mini mana bar overlay.
- Messages: Low mana / OOM / Healer picked tabs, clickable tokens
{healer} {mana} {threshold} {oom}, and a live preview.
Enter saves, Escape cancels, empty restores the default.
WOW FOREVER LIMITS (why there is a probe)
WoW Forever may hide some values from addons ("secret values") and may
block addons from sending chat inside instances. This build handles
both without errors:
- If the healer's mana is hidden, the bar still fills (the game draws
it) but the addon can't compare it, so no alert fires. The window
says "hidden in combat".
- If chat is locked, party messages are skipped and the on-screen
warning still shows. The footer says "Chat blocked here".
/ttd probe
Prints what your client allows: build, whether your and your healer's
mana is readable, and whether chat is locked. "/ttd probe chat" also
sends one test line to party chat plus a hidden addon message and
reports whether they arrived. Please run it:
1. in a city, in a party
2. inside a dungeon, out of combat
3. inside a dungeon, in combat
The last result is also saved in
WTF\Account\<name>\SavedVariables\TimeToDrink_Forever.lua
so you can send that file instead of screenshots.
