Update to lastest release and run with the italian client

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the addon should be at least in english (or italian if localized) , instead it's localized in chinese

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled?
yes

What version of WeakAuras are you using?
Last release pulled from curse

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
It was working in english (previous release from curse)

Hi guys, i have a problem with wa; when I type /wa or /weakauras in game, the menu doesn't show up, but some wa bars show up in combat (not complete, but with half icons). i use elvui with a player custom profile, could it be an interaction with this? i also use DBM, Detail, and vuhdo

The issue is only on my warlock. I type something into the search filter, and periodically it just disappears. It still occurs with WeakAuras as the only enabled addon.

I traced it down to the SPELLS_CHANGED event periodically firing for my warlock (not sure why), This causes WeakAuras.ScanForLoads to be called, then WeakAuras.afterScanForLoads, then WeakAuras.SortDisplayButtons() which resets the filter to empty.

I'm confused about the logic at the beginning of WeakAuras.SortDisplayButtons:

local recenter = false;
filter = filter or (overrideReset and previousFilter or "");
if(frame.filterInput:GetText() ~= filter) then
  frame.filterInput:SetText(filter);
end
if(previousFilter and previousFilter ~= "" and (filter == "" or not filter)) then
  recenter = true;
end
previousFilter = filter;
filter = filter:lower();

What's the purpose of that? Would there be issues if it simply said,

local recenter = true;
filter = frame.filterInput:GetText():lower();

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Have an aura with a looped sound, with Stop Sound selected OnHide.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The looped sound doesn't stop. However, if the aura is hidden during the initial sound, that will stop.

What version of WeakAuras are you using?

2.4.3

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

First version that I've checked.

Attached aura is using the Mana Divining Stone aura.

When you import a Weakauras and it has saved a sound trigger somewhere it in, but you dont want it you'll have to search through the whole group to find which triggers a sound.
For me, I like being notified by sound but only when it suits me, so I want to disable the sound of imported weakauras alltogether. Currently you have to do that manually and to save time it would be easier to have some sort of identification which Weakaura (or Group) has a soundtrigger enabled.

Hi,

I've been trying to make a progress bar to track Curse of the Dreadblades buff but it doesn't work.
Neither with the 4 different spell IDs nor the full scan feature.

Not sure if this is relevant but I'm using a French client, I've seen people posting bars to track this buff using the full name (in English) of it, but it doesn't work either with the French name.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

• create an aura with any condition to change the color
• set preset animation to 'flash'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

• condition coloring should stay even with the animation
• animation changes the color pre-conditioning.

What version of WeakAuras are you using?

• 2.4.2

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

• unsure

Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (/run scriptErrors 1) or install BugSack.

• no error

I have an aura which display a percentage from a custom function
%c%
It used to work but now it returns a nil if i don't insert a space like this
%c %

Setting the 'Custom Function' for 'Color' under the 'Main' animation for a 'Progress Bar' to the following appears to have no effect.

function (p, r1, g1, b1, a1, r2, g2, b2, a2)
    local _, cl = UnitClass("party1");
    local colour = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[cl];
    print(colour);

    return colour.r, colour.g, colour.b, 1;
end

Changing the colour values to be an arbitrary value also achieves nothing. As far as I can tell, the function is not even being run, as the print call is never invoked.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Cast spell "avenger shield" on target. Applies a buff "bulwark of order".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see the buff in the vanilla WoW buf list, but not in the list of Weak Auras 2.

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else disabled?
yes

What version of WeakAuras are you using?
2.3.6

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
no, i can't find a working version.

This is not a run-time bug that I'm reporting. I did not have the game open when I found it.

What version of WeakAuras are you using?
From the TOC file:

Interface: 70200

Title: WeakAuras 2

Author: Mirrored and the WeakAuras Team

Version: 2.4.2

Downloaded by and maintained by the Curse/Twitch desktop application.

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
Unknown if this is a recent issue or if it's just that no one added Demon Hunter when the last expansion pack came out.

Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (/run scriptErrors 1) or install BugSack.
This is not a run-time error. The game was not up when I found it.

Please provide any additional information below.
I was born in a taxi-cab in Evreux, France on the way to the hospital. It was a rainy October afternoon. As this was my mother's first pregnancy, she was apprehensive about the process and a little frightened.... Oh, wait, that's probably not what you meant. Never mind.

This hasn't yet cause me any issues other than prompting me to build my own de-localization process. I was digging around in WA to find out how you folks handled de-localization of Demon Hunter because the the gamepedia entry on UnitClass() is missing that class as well.

In case you do know which aura is problematic, please export the string and paste it below.
Not applicable. Note: That's not the aura string. It's a commentary on the applicability of my pasting an aura string in this location. Additional note: This isn't the aura string either. Dang it, I'm never gonna get out of here.

I have multiple strings that users are reporting throwing out errors. They work on my PC, unless I export the string and re-import it.

While using a progress texture to make a circular bars, the quadrants become offset by 1 pixel down and to the right while the current angle is in that quadrant. This leads to a noticeable 1 pixel gap between the 1st and 4th quadrant while in the 4th as well as slight offsets. I'm not sure how to fix this, but I have narrowed down where I think the problem is: RegionTypes/progresstexture.lua at the spinnerFunctions function for the WeakAuras2 source code. The issue persists across both clockwise and anticlockwise. If anyone has an idea how to fix it, I'd love the help.

I have attached a gif illistruation the issue, as well as the group's export string.

ProgressTexture.txt

Currently an aura can be specified by the name, partial aura name or spell ID. If you enter a number, but do not have "Use Full Scan" selected, it would be great if the number was used to check the aura in that index for the unit, rather than passing it in as a string still.

Use-case: Setting up a custom buff frame using WeakAuras.

Hi ! Firstly, thanks for making this amazing addon :)

I'm currently trying to create a custom UI for my Assassination Rogue but I could not find any Progress Texture that suit my need (I want a flat drop of water icon that empties in function of a specific debuff duration). I successfully create and import a simple texture.tga but I could not find any information about custom Progress Texture.

Does anyone have information or a tutorial for me?

Sorry if I should not put this here, tell me and I'll move it.

Thanks :)

I was wondering if it was possible to implement scaling on a group basis?

Quite often when importing a custom weakaura I'd love it to be just a tad smaller. ATM all I know to do is to manually resize all the group elements. It would be really neat if there was simple scale option for the whole thing.

Cheers!

Spoke to Stanzilla about this over Twitter; there appears to be some form of memory leak in the auto-clone functionality (assumed).

WeakAura example: https://ghostbin.com/paste/cd3tk

Reproducing this is slightly difficult, since the effects only start to become apparent after a fair amount of game play. To begin with, changing target will work fine and display the buffs said target has on them. After a few hours of game-play (more or less depending on how much you switch targets), selecting a new target (providing they have at least one buff) will stall the client with a fraction of a section.

The length of the stall increases overall as the player continues to target swap throughout the session, but the effect is also amplified by the amount of buffs on a target. If the client stalls for 1 second when switching targets, switching to a target with 5 buffs will stall for 5 seconds, the former amount still increasing as target swapping continues.

Would be nice to get a timed hide option for conditions.

A handy feature for a lot of reasons would be to have an "action" that allows us to define a custom function when a WeakAura is clicked. For editing, this could sit in under the "Actions" tab.

Would be nice if we could modify progress bar BG the same way we can modify the FG via custom animation color function.

The conditions tab, while awesome, suffers greatly from a lack of good "user experience" design. The main issue I find with it is that it's slow to use and if you have a slightly complicated aura, then it becomes immediately unwieldy to read the tall list of conditions in any kind of logical chain when you're trying to fix it. It requires a lot of starting over when you discover issues with your aura, basically requiring trial and error in order to get it right because it's difficult to plan entirely ahead, or otherwise requiring that you prepare the logical chain of command for the conditions ahead of time in something like Notepad.

The suggestion is simply to adjust the UI so that you can reorder conditions quickly and easily in a manner similar to the aura list on the left half of the window. Add buttons, allow 'drag and drop', something like that.

i am trying to get a weakaura to work which glows when a debuff is under 30% duration (feral druid dots for pandemic mechanic)
but since it is only possible to set a remaining time as a clear number eg 3 seconds but the debuff duration time changes with haste and a talent, that is not a solution.

could it be possible to set the remaining time trigger as a percentage (in this case 30%)? i know you can do it with custom code but that is not my speciality :P
thanks!

E.g., I want to have Cenarion Ward always active when possible. So, I want to know when it's off cooldown and I should cast it. But, I'd like some warning, so I want the display to start when the cooldown remaining is < X (e.g., 5 seconds). But I don't want the icon to disappear after 5 seconds, I want it to stick around for a bit until I actually re-cast Cenarion Ward.

For example, setting some data to Cooldown Progress: Spell trigger and later on changing it to Item trigger still leaves the old data into the Spell dropdown selection. Now if we re-use a lot of displays by just taking something that exists, and modifying it, we end up with simple displays that have a ton of reduntant data stored in them.

The problem is twofold, for one, this leads into larger export strings which is not good and two, it can lead to all sort of custom code issues. For example: when using for k,v in pairs(aura_env.state.trigger) do print(k,v) end I have a display that prints this kind of output for a Item type trigger:

percenthealth_operator <=
debuffType HELPFUL
itemName 124637
names table: 000001C1CD3ADFB0
unit player
spellName 49576
custom_hide timed
subeventSuffix _CAST_START
type status
event Cooldown Progress (Item)
unevent auto
use_showOn true
spellIds table: 000001C1CD3AE050
realSpellName Death Grip
use_spellName true
spellIds table: 000001C1CD3AE050
subeventPrefix SPELL
showOn showOnCooldown
use_percenthealth true

Now my code is doing custom text stuff based on if if aura_env.state.trigger.itemName then exists or if it's spellName that exists, and the old data makes the custom text display the cooldown of Death Grip instead of Legendary Tank Ring in this case.

I can of course code around this easily, or go clean up the display myself, but I feel that there should be some button in the GUI that let's us scrap all currently unused data in a display and even a group level button would be nice to hit before publishing large groups to other users.

I like making groups an dynamic groups, but some of them i only want to show few icons in (example quickest off cd), but it doesn't seem to be possible to limit groups to 3-4 only, so far. Is it possible to have that implemented in the future.

Since the old Wow Ace Forums are gone (wth^^), i must repost this Question. How can i add a custom (default) WOW Sound, for example this (http://www.wowhead.com/sound=11501/a-blcktmple-mothrsha-taunt01) when my Trinket proccs. There was a good Guide on WoW Ace but as i said, its gone, so i have to ask this question here.

Thank you

What steps will reproduce the problem?

• create a WA Icon (Calling it WA_1) that has a display trigger
• Create another WA Icon (Calling it WA_2) that is anchored to WA_1 and also has it's own display triggers. (i.e. doesn't have the same display triggers as WA_1)
• Issue: When WA_1's display triggers are not met, but WA_2's display triggers are met, WA_2 does NOT display.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

• Expected output: To see WA_2 when WA_2 display triggers are met

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled?

Please provide any additional information below.

• I love the anchoring of frames! Can't wait till all the bugs are worked out. Keep up the good work dev(s)!
• I'm pretty new to WAs. Sorry if some of the terminology I used seems off.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

• create a dynamic group containing two default icon displays
• in the first icon display, add the Condition: If Trigger 1 [Active] [True], Then [Sound].
• in the second icon display, add the Condition: If Trigger 1 [Active] [True], Then [Run Custom Code].
• select the dynamic group.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

For auras that are always shown, or are always loaded, this is a moot point. However, an aura that loads only in combat or in just one particular encounter may have code it wants to run at the beginning of each combat. Neither the On Show action nor the On Init action is sufficient for this task; Init scripts run exactly once per session (unless the aura is modified, of course), while Show scripts might run too late if the aura doesn't show immediately upon load.

Thus, I propose splitting the init action into 2 options: On init, which runs when the session begins (or when the aura is modified), and a new one; On Load, which is called from WeakAuras.LoadDisplay.

Currently you can emulate the behavior of the proposed On Load script by adding an always active trigger, and then setting a condition to run a custom action when that trigger is active (so immediately). However, not only is this hacky and invites kludges, it also doesn't work properly, since as I understand, custom condition actions will run after the On Show action.

I use weakauras for everything. To make it so that I don't get overwhelmed, I tend to create a group for a specific toon that contains all of the auras I use. However there are times that I cannot do this. An example would be that I use several auras for my healing character that are stationary, however there are 4 that I would like to adjust their position dynamically. I either have to do them in a separate group all their own(cluttered) or just have specific positions they never move out of(clunky). If you could put a dynamic group inside of a normal group that would allow for this functionality

Annoying side effect. When you have sounds for when abilities become available, they all play on UI load or when entering combat which is annoying. It would be nice if there were an option to prevent that.

• I love the anchoring of frames! Can't wait till all the bugs are worked out. Keep up the good work dev(s)!
• I'm pretty new to WAs. Sorry if some of the terminology I used seems off.

What steps will reproduce the problem? IDK...uploaded today's patch, entered the game and no WAs.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? There is nothing but the WeakAurasOptions screen with no Loaded or Unloaded WAs listed.

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled? Yes, still no WAs listed on the Options screen

What version of WeakAuras are you using? 2.3.5

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (/run scriptErrors 1) or install BugSack.

Please provide any additional information below.

If you do not know which aura is causing issues for you, please attach a ZIP archive of your WeakAuras SavedVariables file. It's the WeakAuras.lua file in World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YOUR_ACCOUNT\SavedVariables\

Would love to but none of my WAs are there...

In case you do know which aura is problematic, please export the string and paste it below.

In ElvUI and I guess other addons you can switch profiles when entering a specific talent specs, ie. when I switch from Holy to Protection (Paladin) it can change ElvUI profiles automatically.

I often have utility weakauras active on multiple specs, however due to how my UI looks different in each spec I need to find a place for a weakaura which works "everywhere".

Wouldnt it be nice if you could change size, position etc. dynamically in specific specs?

Well, to be more exact, I would love some UI options to make it easy to trigger an Aura after gaining and losing a buff.
The options would be what buff/debuff you want, and how long you want the trigger to last.

When you create a Custom Function for displaying text in a WeakAura, you're provided with a bunch of Trigger Replacements that you can use, such as %sourceName, %spellId and so on; they vary depending on the trigger.

It would be amazing if we could have these also available for the "Custom Message" action option, so we could set the message to something akin to "%spellName on %destName" without having to write custom triggers and call all sorts of functions to get it done.

I'm not sure whether this is intended functionality or not, but since I haven't seen it documented anywhere I'll report it here in the case it isn't intended.

Events used in Status type triggers cause events in Event type triggers to also fire when, for example, the WA configuration window is closed.

(Note: I don't believe the type of aura has any impact on this but I'll list the ones I used to reproduce the issue)

Steps to reproduce:

Example 1:

Create aura 1: Progress Bar

• Trigger: Status > Cast

Create aura 2: Text

• Trigger: Custom > Event
• Event: UNIT_SPELLCAST_START
• Custom Trigger:
  function() print("This should not be printed when WA options is closed") end

Example 2:

Create aura 1: Icon

• Trigger: Custom > Status
• Check On: Event(s)
• Event: PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD
• Load condition: Never

Create aura 2: Text

• Trigger: Custom > Event
• Event: PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD
• Custom Trigger:
  function() print("This should not be printed when WA options is closed") end

As you probably already know getting all of your auras set up for all of your characters can result in a lot of auras.

It would be nice if there were mechanism to create a hierarchy of auras. Basically I'm just talking about nested groups. The ability to put one group inside of another several times and for that I can better organize my auras.

For example I might have a group for "Shaman" that then contains groups for "Shared", "Elemental", and "Resto." Under Resto I might have "Healing Stream Totem" and under that I may have several auras.

Beyond the nesting, other behaviors should probably remain the same (like inherited triggers).

As for how to represent the tree visually in the UI, there's probably a lot of room for interpretation.

I realize this is much more of a feature request than an issue, but I'm willing to help implement it if this is a direction the project is interested in going.

The Lua isn't my day today programming language, I'd be happy to give it a go.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Try to use "%c" in a "Chat message" action (advertised in the hover card as something that should work).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The custom lua code editor doesn't show up. I was expecting the same behavior as you get when using %c as the display text for an aura.

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled?

What version of WeakAuras are you using?

2.4.2

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

Not that I know of.

Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (/run scriptErrors 1) or install BugSack.

Please provide any additional information below.

This is a minor inconvenience since one can just use a custom action with SendChatMessage to achieve the same thing, but it's still an inconsistency in the UI.

I was working on some enhancements to the Insanity Bar when I went to /reloadui for what was going to be the final time. After reload, all WAs gone from the list. I went and made a backup of the raw LUA before doing anything else. On the next reload/logout, the LUA is replaced with the baseline/empty version. If I restore this backup, regardless of character, the same problem occurs. I have attached my WAs backup.

WeakAuras.lua.txt

I'm in the process right now of manually trimming my backup of all of the Insanity Bar auras to see if that helps anything.

Thanks again for everything you do!

I cannot get range check to work in 7.1. I put together a little test...

A nice feature to have in WeakAuras would be the ability to parent to other frames. kgPanels leaves open text inputs to put in the name of the frame to parent to (and anchor to, which would also be nice), as an example. That way it would be fairly simple to create an aura that, say, only showed up when your minimap was displayed or somesuch.

Is it possible to have one weakaura but have load conditions per character?
One scenario would be this weakaura https://wago.io/UseArtifactPower, which you only want active in your holy paladin specc and guardian druid specc. You cannot use talent specc because Guardian specc equals Retribution specc if you logon to the other character.

Hey, I noticed that WeakAuras does not have an option where you can have a different cooldown indicator for charge based abilities.

For example, here is what I currently see with a WeakAura charged based cooldown:
http://puu.sh/reGm3/a30dd5f334.jpg

And this is what I would like to see (This was taken from my action bars.):
http://puu.sh/reGsa/b910ccda5a.jpg

It's a subtle "sonar" line that would show if stacks are greater than or equal to 1, and less than the max stacks. (Black clock cooldown would show at 0 charges and no cooldown box at max stacks, obviously.)

Hopefully this sounds like a feature that you would be willing to add. =)

Using build 2.2.0.6-3-gd6ebf7a (atleast thats what curse shows) on Legion Beta server, The death knight rune count trigger always triggers the Icon regardless of what count I specify.
