Suggest an Addon - WoD Edition

[MiRai]

I don't think I currently use any add-ons that I feel are "must have," but if I run across any I'll probably share them...

...OR MAYBE I WON'T.

Been so long since I played I can no longer even remember the name of the addons I used.

Used to have one that let me add spells or macros to the party/raid frames for click healing and such. But no longer find it and have been making do with healbot, which seems sortof like it but it creates its own frames.

Anyone have any idea what addon I am thinking of?

Clique or VuhDo?

The thing that is really bugging me about the new logmap (maplog?) is that some of the old quests aren't correctly categorized, so some quests I HAVE PICKED UP in a zone don't even show up when I press L. I actually am liking the new smaller glowy circles on the minimap.

I'm having horrible problems with grid. Despite all of my grid extensions claiming to be updated I get "clearindicator: icontop does not exist" and "setindicator: iconbottom does not exist" chat log messages constantly (at least as frequently as I use spells that activate that indicator, like PW:S, which is my personal speed boost on priest, so "constantly" is not an exaggeration. I'm not interested in replacing grid (after seven years?!) but I will have to stop using the cool icon extensions soon if this problem doesn't resolve itself.

It's time to dust off the ol' Lua handbook!

That's why I use an ui compilation like Relaui http://www.wowinterface.com/download...8-RealUI8.html One click on the first logon and everything will be set automatically. No need to move things around and lots of configuration afterewards.

On the flip side, I prefer to build my UI from the ground up using a plethora of add-ons. I find it fun and rewarding creating a unique UI that, for the most part, doesn't look like anything else that's out there, but even after a major patch hits it's highly unlikely that every add-on is broken. In fact, it's highly likely that I can just enable the out-of-date add-on and keep going with no issues at all, but to each their own.

Map Addons - Check Sexymap or Chinchilla.

Regarding the quest log (and it's location by default being attached to the map I'm assuming) - Check out MoveAnything. The only reason I initially installed it is to move than damned quest log, but eventually found it very useful for other functions.

Those are only for the minimap - I use PocketPlot for that. I'm looking for something like Mapster or Cartographer that changes the world map frame. Might need to wait for some more people to write one, though, since the world map + quest log combo is new.

Ditto what MiRai said. I haven't played in two years and there's very few of my addons that don't currently work. So far, there's 2 that weren't functional last night and I'm pretty sure they'll be up and running shortly. It's a minor tradeoff for having a UI that does exactly what I want, nothing more, nothing less. I don't need my UI to look impressive or pretty, I need it make it easier to manage my multiboxing. My needs being as particular as they are, a compilation will never fit the bill. I'd spend three times as long trying to figure out how to gut it and make what's left work the way I want it than I do finding a piece here and there and keeping it updated.

I'd like an addon that cleans out old addon data. Cruft is as pernicious in the wow client as it is in other things, like bug databases and the Windows registry.

That would be helpful. I just bit the bullet and put in a new install, then copied some of my SavedVariables for my more custom stuff - Pitbull, Jamba, whatever had a lot of setup involved - and started over with everything else.
