RangeDisplay
Estimated range display. Type /rangedisplay for configuration or /rangedisplay locked to lock/unlock the frames.
RangeDisplay is a simple range display addon. It is using spell range, item range and interact-distance based checks to determine the approximate range to your current target. Due to the whackyness of interact-distance based checks, recent versions only use those when spell/item based checks are not possible . The display can be configured in many ways (displaying only the max range, adding border and background, etc).
Currently you can set up RangeDisplay to show your current range to your target, focus, pet and mouseover units. The mouseover unit range can be anchored to the mouse or placed at a fixed position.
New in v3.8.0: It is possible to add sound notifications to "range sections" (similar to color setting). The sound will be played when entering the section. If two sections have the same sound file attached to them, then the sound is not played again if switching between the two sections.
This sound notification is enabled by default for the target unit's close range section.
Displaying max range only: if you want to display only the maxRange, you need to set Text to "%d" and tick the Reverse option for the section(s).

Posted Feb 17, 2024You are speaking from Classic Era or Classic WOTLK ?
I have tried it with different chars (classic era) with different language settings , deactivated all other addons, different range limit settings .. NO WAY for me ... 35 yard range is max if range is larger it doesent display anything.. (ofc in WOTLK it works for me but I was asking for Classic Era)

Posted Dec 17, 2023I have a problem with the addon showing 20-25 yards when I'm in melee range. It also often un-lock itself. I have this problem in Arms-spec, no problem while in Protection-spec.

What exactly would you like? Only show ranges in-combat? What's the rationale?

Posted Dec 11, 2023I plugged in the LibRangeCheck-3.0 v1.0.8 into this addon and so far seems to be working.
Haven't tried on all my alts yet, but my Hunter,Mage,and Paladin all seem to be working right.
Any thoughts?
note: Balance Druid,Elemental Shaman,Destro Warlock,Havoc DH are working also.
WealAuras range check seems to be working as well.

Posted Dec 13, 2023In reply to msc6399: what exactly do you mean plugged in? i grabbed the lib 3 from github, put it in the /lib folder of this addon, commented out lib2 and added lib3 path in the rangedisplay.toc, but no change.

Modify line 13 in the RangeDisplay.lua also:
local rc = LibStub("LibRangeCheck-3.0")

Posted Dec 13, 2023In reply to msc6399: that seems to have done the trick, but my custom ranges/labels seem to be only half working. really appreciate the response, i'll keep fiddling around
ah, seems it won't go over 35 no matter what and only likes increments of 5. not exactly how i'd want it on a hunter, but good enough.

I'm planning to migrate RangeDisplay to using LibRangeCheck-3.0 (which is basically a fork of my LibRangeCheck-2.0 but more folks taking care of it). Just need to figure out the packaging bits and bobs and need some time to actually do it :)
