This time I searched before posting...

Essentially I don't need this but it could be handy.

I want to have a mod on my alt PC that sends status messages to my main, which can then interpret the messages to show icons. Things I'd like to have visible:

Follow On/Off (so if the alt gets stuck on scenery I notice immediately)
Unable to Cast (stunned/silenced/etc)
Low Mana (I have this with party frames but something more visible would/might be handy)
Low Health (as above but more critical)
In Combat (for those 'why the hell won't you do X' moments.

Then ideally I can have a 5 icon frame attached to each party member icons are shown if the flag is set on.

Does anything like this exist? Or is there anyone handy with LUA/XML/etc who could do something like this? I don't think it would be barred from use as it doesn't automate anything it just tells you what is going on behind you. :?

I do not think there is an easy way to do this. It would be very helpful though!

I would like to add dot timers and other info like soul shards.

the only thing I can see being a real problem is the following/not following.

I'd need to look at an old bot ui mod I wrote for my priest and see how I overcame the follow issue there... In my current incarnation I have a macro that starts a heartbeat based function or stops it... so every 3 seconds my toons re-follow. Worked amazingly with the shadow priest because mind flay > follow command, not so much with the mages.

The rest could be handled through RPC which is made very easy with RDX, but I'm sure there is another RPC engine out there probably ace based.

I'd like a cooldown/timer monitor on my screen for other class abilities, like frost nova, sheep, fear, banish, etc.

I use XPerl and have the group icons as large as my main toons.

I can see both when they have aggro / are casting / low health and mana / pet info (health / mana) / and target (plus target's target if needed)

I have also increased the group members target window making it easier to see if we have the same mob targeted or if the alts mob is fixing to die.

(Down side, in raids or grouped with others, the icons and name take up more space than I like / an option for each group member could fix this)

A Follow On/Off would be really nice, currently I just keep an eye out on the map to see how far behind my alt is. I have noticed, running on the same computer, the alt runs slower so at longer trips, my alt will stop following.

hmm just wondering is there a way to modify Ctmod as it used to have a option in the program to look into other peoples bags in the raid. this would help with the soulshards


for dot timers you can always try to hook a /p to your character.

so if it casts lets say immolate when its done it /p's so you can tell. would fill up your chat log fast though.
