WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows you to display highly customizable graphics on your screen to indicate buffs, debuffs, and a whole host of similar types of information. It was originally meant to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras, but it now incorporates many features that Power Auras does not, while still remaining more efficient and easy to use.

Features include:

An intuitive and powerful configuration interface
Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and the new Cataclysm 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

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

Extending WeakAuras 2

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.

For in-depth documentation, see the wiki page.

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!

In reply to Corydon:

I had (kind of) the same problem @corydon. Just after doing the quest in silithus I got endless lua-errors from weakauras (however no game crashes).
Do u have a Weakaura that is in some kind related to your Artifactpower? thas was the problem in my case. I disabled the weakaura that showed me how much artifactpower my weapon currently has (and how much is needed for next level). No more error here and WeakAuras working as it used to (except for the AP weakaura of course) :-)

I just wanted to say: Thank you! I love WA and I was very happy when you made it possible to move the positions of triggers for auras. That made sorting my conditions a lot easier.

I'm fiddling with an icon aura. My trigger contains a Status->power so I cant type a specific spellname. When I head back to the Display tab I have to either type the name for an icon or choose one.

If I type the name of the icon "spell_rogue_deathfromabove" (without quotes) I get a green box. If I click [Choose] I get a blank window with no icons at all. If I type "spell_rogue_deathfromabove" I'm not shown any icon. I have also tried with the .png extension. No luck.

[Edit]

I found a workaround for my aura. I changed my trigger to Status->Action usable and clicked inverse (I'm seriously in love with this addon!). But it didnt solve the icon issue on the Display tab though if I make a trigger Status->energy and I have to pick an icon.

I seem to be unable to connect to the download server to install Weakauras. Is it down?

Anyone know why my custom weakaura sounds randomly stop working and when re-entered into the path file still not working?
Interface\AddOns\WeakAuras\PowerAurasMedia\Sounds\SoulblightL.ogg
Is what I am putting and it worked before and not it is not? Could it be because I updated the addonand something changed?

It'd be great with a possibility to only Load on a certain role in dungeons/raids. I have a fair few spells I want to load on a lot of different classes, but only as DPS/Tank, and having to create multiple makes my WA list pretty bloated.

I'm pretty sure this is a feature, isn't it? Load by dungeon role, or something like that?

I've recently gone from TMW to WA and I'm still very new to making anything more complicated than cooldown icons in WA. I'm looking for help making a WA for tracking Demonic Empowerment. I know there are several different out there but none of the ones I've tested work the way I would like them to. I have no exp in coding at all so making custom function by myself is not really viable. I've tried setting it up on my own but from what I can tell you need custom functions in there.

If anyone would like to help a WA newbie out, here's what I'm looking for:

An icon (Demonic Empowerment) showing desaturated if im just running around in the world (not in combat basically), Red colored if I'm in combat and ANY of my active pets/guardians/summons (whatever they are called nowadays..) are NOT buffed by DE and "Normal" colored if ALL pets ARE buffed by DE. Also a text function showing the total number of active summons in the center of the icon. Simple and clean, no iconshaking, activasion borders etc. Just a plain icon with color change and counter.

In my head it doesnt seem to hard to make, but as stated, I have no exp at all with coding anything.
Any help with making this WA or direction to an existing one that can modified, without to much coding from my part, would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Afflocktion.

Is there a way to texture models that have multiple textures? item\objectcomponents\weapon\sword_2h_artifactashbringer_d_01.m2 won't have a texture attached to it if I make a WA with that as the model for example. WMV gives a skin list with each texture listed in an m2 file so is that an option that WA has that I'm not seeing? If not I know the paths to the BLP texture files too but again, doesn't seem to be an option.

WeakAuras is still causing insane FPS drops (particularly in raids). Tracking the CPU usage of WeakAuras, I can see that I am getting numbers more than 10 times greater what they were a couple months ago. Nothing has changed on my end; I have not added any new WeakAuras or changed any settings. It seems something in one of the recent updates has created this new problem, for myself at least. :/

You need to create a ticket and as we can't diagnose problems without the information that is asked in the ticket template.

For sure. I was actually just waiting to see if others might report any similar issue(s) before I submit a ticket, as I wanted to ensure this wasn't an isolated issue (or simply user error on my end) before I wasted even more of your guys' time! Thanks!

Since I updated weakauras to 2.5.10, I'm getting my screen filled with all my strings and all they say is "error" (this is everytime I log in on a character)
opening the addon will remove these, but will not load any of the auras I implemented.

I tried reinstalling the addon, removing the addon, install an earlier version of the addon, use my backup addon file. Nothing seems to work. If anyone got an idea on how to fix this, it will be very appreciated.

Here is a link to what it looks like: https://pasteboard.co/HiokxPK.png

Just wanted to say that after looking at your SS the only word I could come up with was "damn!". I can see why you're frustrated.
