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.

Oh, I see, thanks!

I had another question.

I can't seem to get weakaura alerts to show up properly if they have more than 1 trigger. For example, I would like it to alert me if savage roar is not up, but only if i'm in cat form. I therefore created the main trigger of Savage Roar (aura, inverse), then secondary trigger of druid, cat form.

It doesn't seem to show up at all. What am I doing wrong? :(

There's no way to do that right now. Seems like there should be. I'll implement it by 1.2.5.

Edit: Changing the bar's orientation from "Left to Right" to "Right to Left" will cause the icon to appear on the left, but it will also change the direction of the bar.

I have a question. :) For the timer bars (progress bar), how do you make the icons appear at the left of the bar instead of the right?

@ ringuh

After having leveled a Druid to level 10 to test Eclipse mechanics, the Solar/Lunar power trigger seems slightly more complicated. I'll still try to implement it in 1.2.5 but I'll have to put some consideration into the best way for it to be accomplished. Particularly troubling is the fact the WeakAuras currently has absolutely no support for progress bars to have negative values.

Edit: See this ticket.

@ ringuh

I've looked into Eclipse mechanics a bit and it should be fairly simple to make a Solar/Lunar power trigger.

@ JStrese

I have no idea. I'll ask around the #wowace channel on IRC.

@ ringuh

I must admit, I know absolutely nothing about Eclipse power. I don't have a druid character so it's difficult for me to test such things.

would love to be able to track eclipse power.

also there seems to be some issue with first trigger "action usable" (starfall, starfire) and second trigger (only when eclipse (lunar) is up) combination.

Hey Mirrormn, any idea as to why WeakAuras doesn't come up when I search for it on wowace? It gives me links to WeakAuras tickets but not the actual addon =o

I've never thought of tracking fatigue - I'll see about making a fatigue trigger.

Hi Mirrormn good work with WA I love it.

There are a form to get a sound alert with Fatigue when you fly out of limits of northrend/outlands?

Because its not a debuff its a mirror bar with "Fatigue" name like when you get out of air adobe the water.
