XPBubbleRange is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that provides a visual "Stoplight" HUD and audio alerts to help party members stay within experience and kill credit range of the Party Leader across Retail, MoP, and TBC Classic.
Description
Never miss experience or kill credit again!
XPBubbleRange is a lightweight, visual utility designed to help party members stay within the critical range of the Party Leader. Whether you are power-leveling, farming, or just questing together, this addon ensures you never drift too far and miss out on rewards.
⚠️ Important Requirement
This addon works like a walkie-talkie. For the range tracking to work, the Party Leader MUST have the addon installed and enabled.
- The Leader acts as the "beacon," broadcasting their position to the group.
- Followers listen for this signal to update their range lights.
- If the Leader does not have the addon, followers will not receive any data.
🌟 Key Features
- Visual "Stoplight" HUD: A clean, movable interface that gives you instant feedback.
- 🟢 Green Light: You are Safe (within range).
- 🔴 Red Light: You are in Danger (out of range).
- Audio Alerts: Optional sound cues (distinct "Bonk" and "Shimmer" sounds) let you know when you've left or re-entered the safe zone without needing to stare at the UI.
- Leader Dashboard: When you are the Party Leader, the HUD transforms into a status panel showing a live list of your party members. See at a glance who is safe (Green) and who is falling behind (Red).
- 3D Distance Tracking: Accurately calculates distance even while flying or moving vertically (uses Z-axis data).
- Smart Automation:
- Automatically detects your game version (Retail, MoP, TBC).
- Can automatically disable itself in Raids to reduce clutter.
- Instant updates when changing zones.
⚙️ How It Works
- For Followers: The addon automatically syncs with the Party Leader (who must also have the addon). It calculates your real-time distance and updates the HUD lights.
- For Leaders: You act as the anchor. The addon broadcasts your position to the group and listens for status reports from your followers to populate your dashboard.
