Decursive
Decursive for World of Warcraft
Decursive is a cleansing mod intended to make affliction removal easy, effective and fun for all the classes having this ability.
Documentation:
NOTE: Type /DECURSIVE to open the configuration panel. Decursive's options are not directly available in the "Interface" panel due to ongoing tainting issues Blizzard is not willing to fix.

Decursive key benefits
Ease of use:
- Decursive supports all classes with cleansing abilities and configures itself automatically, it works straight out of the box, no configuration is required.
- Intuitive interface and detailed options, Decursive is suitable for simple usage and power users.
Control what and who you want to dispel:
- Easily Filter out afflictions you don't want to cure or that are useless to remove by class (some are pre-configured). (Such as afflictions affecting mana on non-mana classes, etc...).
- Choose between what you can dispel (magic, curses, poison, diseases, charms) choosing their priority. (this allows you to share the cleansing work with other players effectively)
- Prioritize or exclude members. (keep players, classes, or raid groups in a specific order to cleanse them in order of importance)
Manage Mind controlled units:
- If you are a Mage, a Druid or a Shaman you can Polymorph/Cyclone/Hex mind-controlled players.
- In any case Decursive will allow you to target mind controlled units easily.
- Decursive supports magic charming affect removal for Shamans (Purge and Hex), Priests (Dispel Magic), Hunters (Tranquilizing Shot), and Warlocks (Fellhunter and Doomguards spells).
Don't waste time:
- Your cleansing spell Cooldown is displayed to maximize your dispel speed.
- An automatic blacklist will prevent you from loosing time on players who can't be dispelled. (player 'out of line of sight' for example).
- Decursive choose a logical cleansing order depending on your current position in the raid. (preventing dispel concurrence between players and thus 'nothing to dispel' messages)
React faster:
- Visual and/or auditive alerts when someone needs your attention and can be dispelled.
- Special sound alert when Unstable Affliction is detected and you're about to dispel it.
- Visual and auditive alert when your dispel attempts are resisted or fail.
Integration in any interface:
- Decursive is designed to save screen real estate and to be forgotten when not needed.
- Many options allow you to customize Decursive appearance and interface behavior.
- All Decursive alert colors can be modified making it suitable for color-blind people.
Highly optimized and effective coding:
- Decursive was developed with memory and CPU usage in mind, installing Decursive won't affect your frame rate even in the worst battle conditions.
- Bug free: bugs are not tolerated in Decursive.
In brief, what you get with Decursive is effectiveness, a player using Decursive will always dispel faster than other players.

Decursive is dedicated to the memory of Bertrand Sense known as Glorfindal on the European server Les Sentinelles. He was the raid leader of my guild (Horizon)

Posted Nov 21, 2010@Zidomo: This has no direct influence whatsoever on the game. I've made this feature for the general betterment of Decursive's users experience.
So unless someone points out a valid reason I won't provide a useless and feature-defeating option.

Posted Nov 21, 2010In the new alpha: "Decursive will now announce its version every 30 minutes when zoning (on PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD). No other mod I know of arbitrarily spams the addon channel with its own version announces.
Whether version checking and/or announce spamming for a mod is really necessary or not is one issue (it isn't). But will you be providing an ingame option to completely disable this new version announcing/checking if someone prefers not to use it?

Posted Nov 20, 2010When I enter the game on any toon with Decursive enabled, I get a window in the middle of my screen:
Decursive installation is corrupted!
(Dcr_opt.lua not loaded)
Pressing [Okay] gets rid of the window, but there is no sign of Decursive running and /Dcr or /Decursive just get me the generic Warcraft response of "Type '\Help' for a listing of a few commands."
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing. (Many times, many different days.)
I've tried installing direct from the website and from Curse Client.
I've tried running Curse Client "as an administrator". (I've a Vista machine)
I've tried turning off UAC and Norton Security during the installation.
I can see the Dcr_opt.lua in the Decursive addon folder. I've tried renaming it and installing again, but that does not change anything.
Anny suggestions?

Posted Dec 11, 2010I installed Bugrabber and BugSack - and it was a real eye opener. I was geting A LOT of errors. Decursive was listed in a lot of the messages, but so were many others, so I figured it had to be something deeper than Decursive.
Through trial and error and a lot of digging around in Vista's file structure, I figured out that I somehow had three different addon folders. (Thank you auto-addon tenders!)
During the cleanup and consolodation I deduced that the Decursive was still using Ace2. Once I got that cleared up and using Ace3, Decursive was just fine. (Yay!)
Anyway, after seeing the mess of the addon folders, I've decided I'll be installing Windows 7 and starting fresh, again.
Thanks for the help!

Posted Nov 10, 2010On latest non-release version, the MUF text is different than before, and, at least for me, harder to see. I tried looking around for any option to change it but I didn't find anything.
If that is not just a temporary glitch, and will be actually used for release, please add a way to go back to the normal font that was used before.
Thanks, and best regards.

Posted Nov 10, 2010I think you're reading them backward.
If you want the MUFs to stay displayed at all times, you have to check 'Show the Micro Unit Frames' and set the 'Auto-hide' option to 'Never'

Posted Nov 7, 2010The problem only goes away when I remove the Decursive mod.
However, I need this mod.
Any ideas?

Posted Nov 9, 2010You might want to make the default option to be as Disabled, or perhaps a more obvious menu option to make this change as most players, such as myself, tend to be minimalists.

That's because Shaman are no longer able to cure poison since WoW 4.0:

Posted Nov 7, 2010I am a Resto Shaman and I have used Decursive in the past. But now, it doesn't allow me to cure posions? I still have the Cleanse Spirit ability but Decursive doesn't recognize that I can still remove a posion effect. So, what good is Decursive now? Well, to a Resto Shaman that is?
