WeakAuras

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"

Note: WeakAuras works better with more media!

SharedMedia for more bar textures.
SharedMediaAdditionalFonts for more fonts.

Nice, no errors at all using the MoP beta version. Thanks for the update. Just couldnt do any real testing without Weak Auras working, game is too different!

Ok, I actually tried to use the WA on beta and found some more bugs. This version should work just fine now: https://github.com/Gragagrogog/WeakAuras-for-WoW-MoP-beta/zipball/master

Any chance to have this working for the MoP beta soon? Addons were recently enabled. :3

Getting spammed by Lua errors if I try to run the Cataclysm version.

I got featured on WoW Insider: http://wow.joystiq.com/2012/06/12/reader-ui-of-the-week-3d-spell-effects-eye-candy/#continued

Hopefully more press for this most awesome of addons, as like you said before, the Addon Spotlight feature didn't really do it justice.

@Kaitain1977: Go

Looks like awesomeness. This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping people would come up with when I created 3D Model display types. :)

Hi. I made a UI that goes a bit crazy with the 3D model aura type. I'd never seen anyone else do that, so I thought I'd share it here so that hopefully the author gets to see it.

Thank you for making such an amazing addon.

I am using weak auras and I am trying to add a custom aura for Judgement. I want it to show when judgement in range, BUT I want it to hide as soon as it comes into melee (crusader strike) range. I can get it to show and hide when it is in and out of judgement range but cant work in the part about hiding in melee range. Here is the code that needs to be adjusted.

Here is the trigger:

function() if(IsSpellInRange("judgement", "target") == 1) then return true else return false end end

And the Untrigger:

function() if(IsSpellInRange("judgement", "target") == 1) then return false else return true end end

So I just have to add a check for Crusader Strike in there somewere.
