  • Smaller, lighter, and more responsive than the original SmartRes

Questions and Answers

Q: Why rewrite the original SmartRes?

A: The original SmartRes has been around a long time. It uses outdated libraries that aren't being patched anymore; the code is a confusing mess; Blizzard introduced some nice APIs that made things easier; SmartRes had become buggy (wasn't disabling itself in combat, non-ressers couldn't see the res bars, conflicted with oRA2), and other miscellaneous faults and irritants

Q: Why SmartRes2, and not a simple macro for ressing?

A: For several reasons, chiefly but not limited to

  • Because macros cannot tell you the name of released (ghost) characters, and SmartRes2 can
  • Macros cannot tell you how long it will take for the res to land on the target, and keep track ticking down
  • SmartRes2 has an auto res key, which when pressed, resses characters not already being ressed, in range, and visable plus resses in the following, intelligent order
  1. Priests
  2. Paladins
  3. Druids and Shamans
  4. other Mana using classes
  5. everybody else
  • SmartRes2 shows you the other out of combat resses being cast by the rest of your Party or Raid

Q: How do I get more textures for the bars?

A: SharedMedia

Q: What? US English?? But I understand other languages. Can I help?

A: YES!! Go here and help contribute. You even get credit!!

SmartRes2 is a complete rewrite of SmartRes by Maia, Kyahx, Poull, and Myrroddin. This new version is fully Ace3, supporting new, updated libraries and new Blizzard APIs.

How to notify people who res the same target as someone else

  1. clickable collision bars that spam whispers to the silly player:

  2. toggleable spam whispers:

  3. announce to Party, Raid or other channel (more spam) about the silly player:

  4. blacklist the offending resser so they never get resses:

  5. create a list of bad ressers and send it to the Party/Raid leader:

  6. some combination(s) of the above:

  7. other:
