Sweetsour's Shaman Auras

Introduction

Like myself, I know there's a lot of people that enjoy the functionality that Weak Auras has to offer; in fact, some of you may remember the Shaman Weak Auras package I offered. Though, the one downside with Weak Auras when dealing with larger packages is multiple import strings and a somewhat sloppy installation process. In light of this, I've decided to make the whole process much easier for the end-user and offer a solution that has is far easier than having to setup a large Weak Auras package.

The addon has evolved from Weak Auras, so it has that familiar feel that you're used to. Thanks to thousands of users testing the addon, it has become something far greater than I originally expected!

How to Use

This addon has been designed to provide a high-level of customization, in terms of aura layout. It's a very simple process and can be achieved by doing the following.

/ssa - Access "Home" window in Interface Options
/ssa ele - Access Elemental customization options
/ssa enh - Access Enhancement customization options
/ssa res - Access Restoration customization options

Moving Frames

One of the most requested features was the implementation of being able to move all of the frames. It's very simple to do!

Type "/ssa <spec>".
Click the "Layout" tab.
Click the "Move <spec> auras" button to open the aura movement utility.
A grid will appear and the auras will become moveable.

Developer Update - October 25, 2018

Sadly, I won't be able to release the alpha today. Some stuff came up IRL and took away some valuable time to work on the addon. I got some stuff done with it, but I still need a bit more time. I really want to release it, but I know I can't rush it. I may try to get it finished tonight before going to bed, but I'm starting to feel burnt out and may take a break for the rest of the evening. Either way, I'm going to try my best to get this released before I leave for BlizzCon!

I've been going full tilt with SSA2 the past few days because I want to get the alpha live before I leave to BlizzCon, but I'm trying my best not to rush it to make sure it's the smoothest experience possible. But from my experience with coding, that's hardly ever the case :P. Anyway, I'm going to try and get the alpha for SSA2 live tomorrow at the latest! Here's hoping I can actually do it and that nothing sneaks up on me and causes me to delay the release further.

If any of you are heading to BlizzCon, I'd be happy to meet up with any of you, just shoot me a message. I'm bringing business cards that I'd be happy to hand out! :D

It's really close, everyone! I've completed the new glow functionality integration for Resto and am currently working through Enhancement. Once I'm done adding the glow functionality to all three specs, I'll do some bug checks and once cleared, I'll be rolling out an alpha version to allow people to test what's currently in place! This way, I can work on some other functionality while we can get some much-needed testing done :)

Haha, I hear ya there! The past week and a half was coding and re-coding the new glow customization module; it was a surprising challenge. Now it's just a matter of plugging all the auras into it, which is hard to say how long that will take. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at the new glow customization capabilities :)

I think I finally got the new timer bar system complete! Definitely took longer than originally expected, but I added some new functionality, like having the bars disappear when you or an enemy remove an aura/buff, or when you manually destroy a totem.

What's Left?

Code refactoring for the statusbars (Maelstrom, Earthen Wall, Cast bars, etc)

See how broken the Move module is after all the changes to the code that I made.

Lots of testing

Alpha/beta release? :D

Always happy to hear anticipation for my work! I'm hoping soon, but don't have an exact date. However, I am excited to let you know that due to that massive changes that are coming, I'll be releasing the addon as a new addon called "Sweetsour's Shaman Auras 2" because it has essentially be redesigned and recoded from the ground up. This also includes a ton of fixes for bugs that currently exist in the live version.

As far as its actual progress goes, it's coming along nicely and putting finishing touches on the new method for how auras and timer bars are triggered. The biggest challenge is making sure I test as much as possible to eliminate as many bugs as possible. I may be releasing an alpha version soon, but we'll see how things go :)

Hey Sweet,

Really looking forward to the update, watched the video and looks very promising:)

Is there a chance with the update that all bars, i.e casting bar, maelstrom bar etc etc can have borders that are adjustable in size, i.e thickness?

Just trying to duplicate your bars to be the same as quartz.

Also i don't know why but i could never get the width of the casting bar to be the exact same width as the maelstrom bar and vice versa no matter what i tried, they was always out by about 0.5mm of each other.

I can definitely try adding in borders, sure! As for the width issue, that's definitely a strange one that I'll look into, thanks!

Thanks for the heads up! I'm actually working on a very large update that will fix a lot of things and add some great new features. I've slowed down a little on it for the first week of BfA release, but hoping to get it done soon! :)

Hey Sweetsour, first of thanks for the nice addon, ive been using it for quite some time!

But i just reinstalled wow / addons after taking a break from Wow up until BFA, and now i have a problem that i can't seem to get the very handy buff timer bars to show (flametongue and frostbrand duration remaining in particular) , the only one that shows as a bar with timer still is Spirit Walk!

Im using Elvui, and i tried disabling that, to check if that was interfering with the addon, and i also tried doing a fresh install, i hope u migh have an idea of whats causing this.

Thanks in advance!

Zeh
