OK Deph, question for you: is there a way to make the blink effect less subtle? E.g.: make it so instead of a dark red, make it a bright red?
Not yet, Ugh, definitely soon though... I started off with it set to MOD, and kept working around that... but after having died and having missed a follow breaking in a few really dark (or really red) places I'm thinking I'll just change it to blizz' default system (and perhaps even their default flash frames) and use transparent layers that pulse. Or put in an option for it...
I've never, to date, worked with savedvariables XD -- never made an addon that anybody else would ever use. (and wasn't sure anybody would use this!) But I'm definitely going to have to look into it when I get a chance here.... if you want a quick fix, you could try changing line 5 in the XML from alphaMode="MOD" to "ADD" -- which you still wouldn't be able to see in really LIGHT areas (shimmering flats pretty much) -- no idea if you'll be able to see through that in a dark place though XD -- any other changes you'd have to take a go at the transparency in the LUA for each change >_<
Yeah, I'd already started tweaking a few things to taste, so I'll give that a shot tonight. Thanks!
Hmm...I adjusted the ADD to MOD setting in the XML, can't tell a difference. :P I did adjust the blink rates so it's a bit more obvious. Still a nifty mod.
Well... *tries it himself*
WHOOPS, have to set the TEXTURE to add... not the frame! Gave you the wrong line... Make that Line 8 -- lol.. not sure why I put another blend mode on the FRAME... *fixes*
MOD makes it so the red darkens anything lighter than itself
ADD makes it so it lightens anything darker than itself.
With MOD, darkening it will make it more obvious (blank out more) -- Black will appear completely solid.
With ADD, making it lighter will make it more obvious. -- White will appear completely solid.
Err... wait.. .*links*

OMG you da MAN. That is exactly what I was after. Perfect addon now. :D
Tested this out over the weekend. Worked really well. Good job and thanks.
Lovely addon, thanks.
Only tweak I've made is to make the flashing last for 30s, to make sure I notice it :)
