WeakAuraAutomationTool
This currently produces some weak auras. These weak auras are much better than 'no weakauras', but this is a long term project. If you would like to try out the produced aura and provide some feedback, that'd be nice. The 1st pass is focused on more of getting the tool to be 80% of what is needed.
The 2nd pass will work on additional polish, with more focus on the auras (vs. the tool that makes them). Some aura icons are likely placed in-correctly because I do not know all the rotations for all the specs. Most of the 2nd pass aura functionality tasks are things that I've done before this tool, but the tool doesn't have functions to generate them yet.
I built a lot of WeakAuras and there was a lot of overhead involved in tweaking things, that quickly grows virally across all the characters I played. This tool exists to eliminate that.
Adding this macro to your toolbar will allow you to toggle all auras visible / invisible.
/run local cvar='BarbequeWeakaurasVisibilityToggle' SetCVar(cvar,1-GetCVar(cvar),cvar
Current (WIP) Import String can be found here. The resource hud will be integrated at a later date.
The general concept is:
- Alerts Top Left ~ Limit: 1
- Main Rotation: Top left ~ Limit: 4
- Main CDs: Bottom left ~ Limit: 4
- Main Utility (Survive \ CC): Right ~ Limit: 5
- Main Mobility (+ Interrupts): Bottom ~ Limit: 5
- Combat Buffs: Top Middle
- Overflow: Below everything else
I quickly realized doing all the specs, that this doesn't 100% work. So the general concept is in flex. The sceenshot also shows a bug ~ the IronFur Active Buff is not in the right spot: PositionAuras.lua is the first real piece of Lua I've ever written ~ it's a WiP. Positions are recalculated when you change specs and talents.
Also, from that picture, I already know I'm gonna turn down the 'glow'. With this tool, I don't need to figure out how to do that right now before I copy and paste more Auras around. I can do that after the fact and mass apply it to all the auras. That style of dev-loop is what this tool is being built for.
Goals:
- the auras for each spec should feel like they're following a similar pattern
- do not automate the player by telling them which ability to hit next
- provide enough information so that the ActionBars become redundant;
- their only purpose being to remind you what key does what
Todo:
- Race abilities
- PvP abilities
- Potions, blood lust \ heroism, and other major buffs
- Trinkets
- Covenant Abilities
- Resource HuD (integration into Tool)
- Groups + Max size --> Auto Overflow
- Look at behavior for leveling characters
