WeakAuras 2

WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows the display of highly customizable graphics on World of Warcraft's user interface to indicate buffs, debuffs, and other relevant information. This addon was created to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras but has since introduced more functionalities while remaining efficient and easy to use.

Features

An intuitive and powerful configuration interface
Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and Blizzard's spell alerts
Progress bars and textures that show the exact duration of auras
Displays based on auras, health, power (mana, rage, soul shards, holy power, etc.), cooldowns, combat events, runes, totems, items, and many other triggers
Preset and user-defined animations
Custom side-effects such as chat announcements or sounds
Grouping, which allows multiple displays to be positioned and configured at the same time
CPU optimizations such as conditional loading/unloading of displays, modularity, and prevention of full aura scanning
Powerful customization options, such as animation paths, on-show/on-hide code, and custom triggers, for Lua-savvy users

Quick Start

To open the options window, type /wa or /weakauras into your chat and hit enter or use the minimap icon.

Extensions

WeakAuras Companion: This application adds the missing link between Wago.io and the World of Warcraft addon, enabling you to update your auras in a convenient fashion.
WeakAuras_StopMotion: This addon adds a new region type to WeakAuras that allows for stop motion animations. Stop Motion textures contain each frame of the animation as a separate image. The addon ships with a number of animations and it supports custom textures.
SharedMedia for more bar textures.
SharedMediaAdditionalFonts for more fonts.
ColorPickerPlus for a better version of the WoW color picker that includes class color templates and a copy and paste function.

Documentation

For in-depth documentation, see the wiki page.

Examples

For some examples of what WeakAuras can do, take a look at wago.io where tons of people upload their creations and even feature complete interfaces utilizing WeakAuras!

I have severe drop of FPS with WeakAura since a few days.
With WeakAura in raid I am between 15 and 20 FPS, Without WeakAura has more than 55-60 FPS.
I fired all my auras and it does not change anything.

Please come to the Official WA discord and read the latest message in #announcement. That contains some hints on how to debug that and figure out if its a bug in one of your auras, or a bug in WA-.

The latest update destroyed all of my weak auras turning all of them into empty aura buff weak auras. Luckily I have a backup of my savedvariables/weakaura.lua from a month ago, but this is really awful for anyone who doesn't.

That should only happen if you downgrade. We have zero reports of upgrade problems.

The downgrade destroyed your auras, so please don't claim that the update did.

I do not see the distinction.. something in the update caused it not to be compatible with older versions and due to bugs in the new version people might have to downgrade. So yes, the downgrade technically broke them but the broken new version is the only reason someone would downgrade.

I just learned this the hard way as well.

One of mine broke with an update so I reverted back, only to find that it broke *EVERYTHING*. All my work from the last 2 years. Gone.

I'm pretty fucking livid right now.

Edit: After 5 hours, I've got 90% of my shit back. Sure wish there was cloud saving or something. Time to export it all I guess.

It wasn't a misrepresentation, as I was not aware it was because of a downgrade after an upgrade.

Step 1: I upgrade.

Step 2; I notice my main WA is broken due to the update which actually did not give me of any noticeable benefit.

Step 3: I downgrade to fix my main WA.

Step 4: Observe every one of my WAs is now broken.

Step 5: I report that the update ruined my WAs.

Could I have researched what happened more? I guess, but there is no reason for me to especially as it turns out you knowingly broke backwards compatibility. Regardless you should at least notify people that their shit is not backwards compatible if that is a part of an update.

We haven't updated the model list for BfA, that's a very low priority. For NPCs, those are mostly unskinned anyway, so of not much use.

Just updated (twitch client on alpha)
got alot of weakauras that suddenly did not work as intended, think it was the "conditional" part that stopped working for me.

That's a error in your aura "Player Cast Time", which is using a outdated api. You should delete it, or seek a update to it or fix it to the newest api.

In reply to InfusOnWow:

Thanks for the quick response! Looks like they removed a parameter from UnitCastingInfo. Original code (that broke) was:

function()
    local spell, _, _, _, _, endTime = UnitCastingInfo("player")
   if spell then
         local finish = endTime/1000 - GetTime()
         return ("%.2f"):format(finish);
   end
end;

I took out one underscore and comma and it works just fine.

You need to change "Unitbuff" to "WA_GetUnitBuff" inside the "Arcane Missiles" weakaura. Same in any other weakaura that uses "Unitbuff".
