    All,

    Curse seem to be having more issues, when I edit the project I can see 2.4.2.5 has been approved but I cannot see it here. Also I cannot find where to set the default file for download.

    I recommend using an alternative site.

    about problems with counters I look into source code and see that

    alpha's icon hot is calculed with secLeft/15, (HealBot_HoT_AlphaValue)
    and counter use this approximatif alpha value to be set. (HealBot_HoT_timer)

    that probably why counters are not exact.

    v2.4.2.5 uploaded
    =================

    Now it is possible the drop the disabled opacity right down and not miss people needing heals who are out of range.

    1. If not a dynamic list because combat does not allow changes to lists anyway, Can I request the bar be dimmed when a player is out of range. Clicking on a bar that is out of range is kind of annoying.

    2. Using the right mouse button on a bar causes player to drink a potion. I do not want see potions in my options so wonder why it is happening. I have spells I want to cast and the spells are being ignored.

    3. Can healbot use global settings but keep the spells used by character?

    4. Is there a way to target and cast a spell (two actions when click on a bar). I tried to look source code to force it, but was kind of tricky. My goal was to target because I wanted to use an icon on the action bars to cast on the target after I use healbot.

    Thanks

    1. healbot already do it.

    2. healbot use two differents configs, first in fight and second out of fight, think u have potion in ur out of fight config.

    4. u can bind "Target" in healbot config

    for me too (druid, fr client) shift/ctrl/alt + mouse left/right/middle combinations work fine.

    same problem than Kyulendy, for example with lifebloom counter do sometimes 7.6.5.4.3.2.1.end and sometimes 6.5.4.3.2.1.0.end, :(

    In the additional group settings, would it be possible to display only those members of that group whom are not in your own group and are within range? This type of function would be excellent in the Battlegrounds, because most groups are not voluntary, and they rarely stay together.
    For example, if a member of an additional group is outside 30-40 yards (whatever is Healbot's range), that person is temporarily removed from the heal bars list. This way, one always has a list of people whom can be healed/assisted. It's a real pain to Shift+Tab in the BG, especially when trying to move at the same time, so Healbot should make targeting more intuitive and dynamic.
    Of course, I think one should have the option to have a dynamic list or a static one.

    On my version there is a "skin" tab, click this "skin" tab and there is a "pulldown" selection (refer to picture "Options tabs 5-7") If you select "Alterac Valley" it changes the skin to where noone shows up on healbot except people that drop below a certain percent health that is within range. Hope this helps.

    Great mod! /cheer

    Everything has always worked for me. I love the new hot counter.

    May I request something? I like having everyone in range of me highlighted. I keep it that way so when we're out of combat I can see if they need healing. With that being said I'd like to request the aggro alarm to maybe highlight the outside of the box in red?

    I myself also haven't encountered any problems regarding using ctrl, shift, alt or anything else, it's all working perfectly fine.

    I think the problems most people have is either caused by some of the following:

    - You are overwriting (instead of deleting) the older healbot installation located in your /interface/addons/ folder.
    - You haven't deleted your healbot saved variables in your /WTF/Account/ folder.
    - You haven't installed the correct mouse drivers to activate any extra mouse buttons besides the left/right click button.
    - You haven't reloaded the game after making changes to any of your spells entered in healbot.

    i have found that the last several versions of healbot do not allow you to use ctrl click, shift click, alt click. I also do not like the tank target thing. I am now using an older version and i can put different rank heals in ctrl click, alt click..
    I really wish you the older version of healbot would be the newer one because the new versions do not work properly for different spells.

    Have you tried deleteing your saved var file, also what cleint version are you using and what class is your char? That information would help since those buttons work fine for my priest on the english client.

    the HoT-Counter is rly nice, but should it be possible, that bonus healing is ignored? im using the addon drdamage too, and it shows me the right healing-"size" for my spells, at healbot its too low.

    local HealBot_CalcEquipBonus=true; don't work :(

    Hello
    First of all HUGE Thanks for adding HoT counter, my main is Resto Druid and i was hoping for this improvement for a long time. (Had to play my pally more lately :P )

    I join Bidibag and many others and who suggested this earlier. "It would be good if the addon could track certain boss abilities and make them light up on HealBot. So you know when you need to heal somebody extra. For example on Bloodboil when they turn into the tank. Or the thing on Illidian in phase 2 when it targets a player and does loads of damage on them." Or Lord Capasitus polarities in Hero Mech.

    If this would be possible to do , then i would finally be able to disable blizzard icons, i play on low resolution and it would really help me to get some more free space on my screen. (Having 25 man raid on healbot AND on blizz icons takes like half of my scren space)

    Hope it can be done!
    Thanks again for a great addon :D

    edit: Forgot to ask, even if my hot counters are showing now, they are displayed on Hb like 1-1,5 sec later, so when lifebloom expires, on Hb is says that 2-1 sec still left. Same with any hot. Am i the only one having this issue? Help plz

    I really want to get this UI to work, but the biggest problem I am having is getting range checking to work. I don't understand, I enable all the people in the raid (which is annoying... everyone should be enabled by default... unless that means something else) and it only updates about half of them half of the time... and when it does it does it SLOW. I have it set to refresh as fast as possible and disabled aggro to make it even faster and its still slow...

    Would be great if Healbot shows things like dark barrage from Illidan or encapsulation debuff from Felmyst.
