This add-on allows you to keep track of your kills, loot of the Rare's and Warfront status in multiple Warfronts.
It has both a mini-map icon and broker integration.
It checks your kills on their quest ID now so it's automatically checking which one you've killed already and also resets once they're available again. It's also only loading the rare's regarding to your players faction. When TomTom is installed it exports the rare's coordinates to TomTom when clicked on the rare in the menu.
If you want to see what has been changed or added in each release, you can take a look at the Change Log. I't will list all releases and its changes in a chronological order with the latest release on top!
Important Note About Me:
Please bear in mind, as can be read in on of the comments, I suffer from a bi-polar disorder, including 5or 6 other psychological conditions. This means I cannot always guaranty an a quick release for new content. I will always try to add and/or fix stuff as soon as possible, dependable on the state I'm currently in. If I'm doing great, updates comes very quick but when I'm on the down side everything costs me a lot of energy and this means an update can take longer than usual.
Warning: If you're using the Zygor's Guide addon, Rare Icons are not displayed on the Worldmap and Minimap. I've already tried to resolve this issue, came close but suffered huge memory spikes, but I'm going to give it another try in a few weeks.
All other part do work. To add a TomTom waypoint, you can click on the rare in the menu while mousing over the Minimap Icon.
Broker / Minimap icon displays which Faction is in control of the selected Warfront:
For the Alliance and 
for the Horde.
New Warfront Status Mode in Broker text:
full explanation is found in the config window!
The mini map and/or broker menu looks like this:
The Warfront Status can also be integrated in the main menu as seen with the Minimap Menu:
The Worldmap:
Icon color: Purple have over 1M HP, Blue have over 100K HP, Grey are Goliaths and Red for Rare's only active when your faction controls the Warfront.
Improved options window (found in the interface menu, right-click the mini map/broker icon or use command /warfront)
Unit frame on mouse over a rare:
I've just pushed a small update to patch 1 major and 1 minor bug. As I'm not doing very well I want to leave a copy/paste of the release here which includes info about my current health state. If you encounter any bug, please don't hesitate to create a ticket on the issues page, but as I'm getting further "down hill", I've decided to put new features on a halt and will only push a release if there is a bug of missing/wrong info about a Rare until I feel better again.
Appointment with my psychiatrist is in 4 weeks, that was the quickest appointment available. Until I feel better I keep the development on a low state for now. I shall only push a release if there is a major bug or an update for a Rare if missing as I still want to keep this addon running. But I have to take my time to get thought this phase and the moment I'm well enough I'll resume adding new features.
Okay so I did something wrong and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it. Right now my Warfront Rare Tracker has 100% transparent background which can make the text really hard to read. I know it used to not be the way,. It used to be like the screenshots posted here. How to I change it back to that? I've pored over the settings and figure out how I accidentally got the background transparent . I'd really appreciate any help with this. I love this add on and it's amazing!
In reply to starshelle:
I have no clue. I haven't seen this before as I'm not doing anything with the transparency of the menu. I only use it for the Icons on the world map but they are totally unrelated. Is it possible to send my your config file so I can take a look into this? it can be found under "World of Warcraft/_retail_/WTF/Account/WEZZAH/SavedVariables/WarfrontRareTracker.lua". You can PM me a link to the file.
In reply to StevenSeegal:
Thank you very much for offering to take a look! When you confirmed that there aren't any transparency settings in the menu, I decided to disable my ELVUI to see if something in the ELVUI settings was causing it do that, and it does seem to be the case, because with the default UI it wasn't 100% transparent anymore. Unfortunately, ELVUI has a gazillion settings and I'm at a loss as to which one might be affecting this, so I will have to do some more research.
In reply to starshelle:
You're welcome. I'd love to help in these weird cases but I'm glad you've found out that it it's an incompatibility with ELVUI. Thanks for the head up and if I have time in the future I might install it and see if I can get it to work with it. But it's no promise, especially not at this moment as I'm not doing well at the moment. You can read about this in the post I made above this conversation.
In reply to starshelle:
I have been having the same issue, the addon is great but for some reason can be hard to read without any background.
In reply to cwwood0322:
I'm currently unable to work on this issue. It's ElvUI who changes the transparency of the windows which I can't control unless I dive deeper into ElvUI's code to see how to make my addon compatible with it. As I'm not doing very wel at the moment, but I'm climbing up a little already, I only fix huge bugs and the moment I feel like I can handle a bit of concentration for my code I still have to implement the "Boss Tracker" functions for Mechagon and Nasjatar first.
This compatibility issue is only reported twice and I promise to take a look into it, but it will be after the named things are implemented.
Hey guys,
Just a quick update:
After the heat-strike went away I got severe pain in my abdomen. My GP tried something and I she made an appointment to call me in 4 hours after taking de drugs to review if it did anything. Sadly this wasn't the case and I was immediately send to the ER and after some test they concludes: Acute Appendicitis.
Unfortunately, during surgery, they discovered it was a "Close Call" as the extraction didn't went as smooth as it shout. It was severely inflamed and it bursted open during surgery. After returning "back to the world" from the narcotics I got the information and I have to stay and get anti-biotics vis IV-drip 4 times a day. The first 5 days where horrible as in pain but also my mental conditions doesn't make me feel very well if I'm not in my own house.
Prognoses are good now though. If everything checks out perfectly I might be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I still need to take things slowly, so with a laptop on the couch I can update the Addon in a few days.
In reply to StevenSeegal:
Sorry to hear of your ongoing health issues. I'm sure everyone will understand that you need to put yourself first and we will be happy when you are feeling better and up to working on this wonderful addon again. Get well soon.
Do you have a donations page ? I would happily donate a small amount to thank you for the time you put into this.
In reply to ZalidTheBur:
Thank you for your kind message. Luckily I'm home again and I'm slowly putting the latest changes into my Addon's database.
I hope to release it before the weekend so you guys have everything up-to-date as soon as possible.
I haven't setup a donation link as my Paypal account is registered under my private email address, which I don't want to publish as that one is a spam free account for every personal stuff like the communication with insurances, banking, doctors, housing and all of those stuff.
On Curse you can only setup a donation link by either entering my Paypal account's email address (which will be visible to anyone who click on the donate button) or via a Paypal token which can only be setup if you migrate your account to a Business account. As I'm not registered as a company, because I'm not, I cannot change it due to the fact that I have to give my registration number from the local IRS and more of local business related documents.
This is the reason why I haven't setup a donation button. I love it that you ask me about it as I never had anyone telling me they are willing to give me a donation and I want to thank you for that.
I think I need to look for an alternative for donations as Curse only has the above described options available. I know there are a lot of different ways to do so but I have to take a look into it as I'm not familiar with receiving a donation. If you have any suggestions on what a good donation platform is I'd love to hear it.
And if you still want to give me a donation I think I can give you my Paypal address in a private message for one time if you promise to keep it confidential.
But seriously, I'm working on this addon for fun. This is for me a way to put my mind on coding instead of staring to the ceiling and getting caught by all my other thoughts, so it kinda works "therapeutic". There for I'm not aiming on donations which is also 1 of the reasons I never setup a donation thing.
Just want to say, don't feel "I have to donate but I don't have too much money". I'm good with that. I really appreciate it but don't get into money trouble.
I made this addon for myself initially as there wasn't one for this new thing yet. After telling what I was doing to my guild mates they where all interested and I send them a copy of on of the very first build (no map icons, not loot tracking. Just only kill tracking). Basically they pushed me to upload it to curse and I thought "Let's give it a try". The following morning when I woke up I noticed quite a big number of downloads and that gave me a satisfying feeling. With a lot of user input though the comment the addon became much bigger as I was implementing lots of extra features in that time. Some where user input and others where either user input but a thing I already had in mind or a thing I though of myself. I'm still pleased to see a lot of users are still actively using it, which also give me a satisfying feeling. And with that I have fun programming and trying to get some new mechanics to work as every time a warfront gets added, the mechanics are different. But I have good fun with it and still a nice amount of downloads after a release and that will keep me satisfied to still work on this addon.
Hence the fact of my conditions, somethings I'm already used to but the depression side remains unsolvable. I've accepted i, do know that I have my good and bas moments and I also know how to handle most of these situations. And every moment I can I'm on my computer and gather info piece by piece now until the wound gets a bit painful, then I have to take some rest again. But I'm aiming for coming weekend to have a new release with all Nazjatar rare's sorted and I'll double check Mechagon's rare's on wowhead to verify the loot again, but I think there is no new thing there as the last release already contained a fully checked database for Mecha.
just a typo, should be Vaultbot ;) Screenshot
I'm happy to say release 1.0.4-1 is approved now
Next on the list is sorting out Nazjatar. I also want to get the menu to only show a drop name once when the Rare drops multiple items that has the same category. As said I can't do too much but I'm happy to get you guys this updated version. This way I can offer you the new filter settings to filter out unwanted Rare's and an up-to-date loot table for Mechagon. I'll hope to have another update ready in a couple of days.
In reply to StevenSeegal:
Thanks for this addon. I've used it since it's release and will continue to for as long as it's maintained. In my opinion, no other addon comes close to being as good and simple as this one.
In reply to StevenSeegal:
The best rare addon, hand down! Thank you for your hard work.
Love this addon. It doesn't seem to identify which rares I still need for which blueprint quests though in Mechagon. I have almost all of the blueprints, but none of them are green/classified as obtained.
Also, would it be possible to disable the rare tracking on the map/minimap per zone? Just a little tickybox somewhere to turn it off if necessary... I like them in the warfronts, but I have like two other addons that track Mechagon/Nazjatar that I'd rather use instead because of different features.
In reply to tanglies:
If you read the orange text and the change log everything will be clear. the quest drops is a new thing that I have to implement. After the implantation it's going to recognise the one's you've already obtained. I'm planning on releasing the first working version of this tomorrow. I wasn't fit enough today to test it correctly so I better postpone the update with about 10-14 hours so I can have some good sleep and testing this new stuff is prio 1 for tomorrow!
One thing some of the other rare tracking addons use to delineate which rares you still "need" to kill is they put rares with drops you are still missing as one color, and ones you have already got their unique item from as a different one. I know you use color to denote mob difficulty, but could there be another note to show a mob is up that has special loot? Maybe put a star on the corner of the marker to show you still need something off of it? That would allow the color-coordinating based on difficulty to remain while still providing the info on unique drops.
In reply to CrusaderEsper:
I can do this. And it's fairly simple to add as I'm already giving colors to them. I'll bend my mind over it later tonight while relaxing. The suggestion is quite good as this indicate my Database is still missing some info and players can report it in the issue I've created for everyone to report wrong and/or missing info.
Thanks for this Idea, much appreciated.
How do I manually set the status of some Mechagon rares to "Already known"? I've already collected some blueprints, but the addon shows all of them as still needing the quest item drop.
In reply to lucatri:
Not yet, but this weekend I'm about to implement a way of checking which Quest Items and Blueprints are already know and mark them as done. This will allow implementation makes sure to hide the Rare of a Quest Item/Blueprint drop once known, just like it does with all the other categories. So stay tuned and it will be filtered automatically.
