Quick and Dirty Party Proc Notification Hack (QDPPN)

[Svpernova09]

This post got me thinking: http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=28653


So I went and found an addon that did something when the toon proc'd.....something.

I main wanted this for Art of War procs on my ret paladin so that I know exactly when to hit Exorcism or Flash of Light. This is a quick and dirty hack, just to show you how easy this was to overcome.

EventAlert: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/event-alert/download/368509.aspx

Install it and open: WoW\Interface\Addons\EventAlert\EventAlert.lua

Find:

function EventAlert_DoAlert()

if (EA_Config.ShowFlash == true) then
UIFrameFadeIn(LowHealthFrame, 1, 0, 1);
UIFrameFadeOut(LowHealthFrame, 2, 1, 0);Add After:

-- This line will call out to Partychat
-- SendChatMessage("Art of War! - INSTANT EXLOLCISM INCOMING!!", "PARTY", "Common", index);
-- This line will call out to Say
-- SendChatMessage("Art of War! - INSTANT EXLOLCISM INCOMING!!", "SAY", "Common", index);
-- This line will whisper a toon named Satinworship
-- SendChatMessage("Art of War! - INSTANT EXLOLCISM INCOMING!!", "WHISPER", "Common", "Satinworship");Uncomment (remove the --) from one of the lines that starts with "SendChatMessage" the examples I've given you are party, whisper, and say. For Whisper, you need to change the toon's name from Satinworship to your other toon's name.

You may have to do some trickery for it if your class is tracking multiple procs, or you can just do /ea opt and go uncheck the procs you don't want to look for.

Example using /say

My 2 cents,

Jamba Proc is generally broken (due to changes in combat log and not much love) and a work in progress, but it happens to work very well for Paladin art of war procs. When a paladin in your team gets an art of war proc, a progress bar is displayed on the master toon that counts down the time left for the proc. If the proc gets used or reprocs, the bar is updated appropriately (removed or time reset). It's a little intrusive but might help someone.

That is kind of neat.

Have the addon which is doing the announcement, on the toon with the proc.
So even if its not in the combat log, it is whispered to the correct toon.

With Jamba forwarding whispers to the active/master toon...
You wouldn't even care which toon received the whisper as long as one toon per team received it.

Or you could go with party chat.
The Random BG stuff, said you can queue as a group, up to a 5-man, which is the full team for most of us.
Hopefully that means each will be in the same group, for BG's.
