- About KLHThreatMeter
Table of Contents
KLHThreatMeter
KLHThreatMeter is like a damage meter, except it records your threat. By monitoring all the abilities you use and checking your talents, armour set bonuses and buffs, the addon can recreate the threat list of a mob. This makes tank transitions simple, and allows DPS to maximise their damage without pulling aggro.
Note: due to the intricacies of threat, it is only possible to accurately determine your own threat, because you don't know what talents other players are using; also some abilities can only be detected by the player who uses them. Therefore everyone in your party or raid group needs the addon installed to have their threat appear on the table. In practice only the tanks and DPS need to have the addon, healers might use it to check upcoming tank transitions or warn DPS who are going too high.
The Master Target
Often in fights there are several mobs active, but only one is important for threat considerations, for example a boss and his adds. You can specify that only threat against one specific mob will be recorded by setting a master target. To do this, target the important mob and click the master target button on the main window (it looks like the hunter's mark icon). You should see the name of the mob in the top line of the header frame.
To remove the master target, clear your target then press the master target button again. For most boss mobs the target will be cleared automatically on death, but sometimes it is necessary to do it manually.
Note: only the group leader or raid assistants can set the master target.
Graphical Interface
The main window has two parts: the header, which holds the buttons and basic information, and the table, which shows the threat list.
Note: currently you can only move the window by dragging the header, not the list part.
You can minimise the window, which hides the threat list. Then you will see only the name of the master target, your position in the threat list (e.g. "3 / 10") and the buttons. Click the options button to bring up the help menu. Here you can change many options about the frame's colour scheme and layout.
Command Line Interface
Not all commands are currently available from the Help Menu or main window. To access the command line interface, type /ktm (or also /klhtm or /klhthreatmeter). This will print a list of commands and subtopics. Type the command as printed for more help.
Note: all commands can be abbreviated as much as possible as long as they are still distinguishable. Instead of "/ktm test threat" you can type "/ktm t th". The shortcuts are indicated by the first few letters of each command which are light blue.
Localisation
As new abilities, items and boss encounters are regularly being added to the game, the localisation files need frequent updating for KTM to work well in all locales. The addon is currently localised for English (enUS), French (frFR), German (deDE), Spanish (esES), Simplified Chinese (zhCN), traditional Chinese (zhTW) and Korean (koKR). However not all localisations are up to date.
In particular Chinese and Korean localisations are a bit behind, the others are mostly good. Any updates would be greatly welcomed.
Work In Progress
In The (maybe distant) Future
The ultimate goal is to have multiple master targets, arbitrarily many. Each would have a separate threat list and a separate window (the last is possible already).
Then i'd like to eliminate the command line interface in place of the new help menu.

Kenco saidHi everyone
Sorry about the long delay. RL work and raiding is consuming most of my time, so i can't promise future updates.
However i've added a new version: 22.1 beta. It's in curseforge "awaiting approval" hopefully it will turn up soon. The main new stuff is:
1) tanking correctness (spell reflect, devastate, taunt / growl / righteous thingy)
2) reimplemented bossmods.
3) (devs) strongly typed configuration file. see \validation folder.
Haven't had a chance to test all bossmods, therefore it is beta.

Illidanel saidThough Kenco had no activity for three months, but of the love of the addons, I am continuing develope the KTMs.
The KTM IllidanelMod 4.39 in bbs.game.mop.com are now really works so well, and I believe its better than Omen.
Thanks All the best Kenco made, hope that he would come back someday.

Callahan saidGreat work Illidanel, I'm using your updated version since a couple of weeks and i recommend everyone to use it.
But please (!!!) guide the "IllidanelModChangelog.txt" in english, too. Most people here don't understand chinese.
It's hard to update addons, if you don't know what changes have been made.

Hammerjudge saidBecause that site uses Chinese, it's very hard to work out where to download your update. It would be nice if you could find an English language site to host it on.

Hammerjudge saidRIP KTM.
I was in a guild with Kenco for a while, some years ago, and I hope he's ok. He was very proud of his work here, and many millions of people have benefitted from KTM. Whatever reason he's gone, whyever he didn't formally say "it's over, Omen wins" I don't know but all the best to you mate.

Grizbo saidAs a long time KTM user and guild master, I'm sorry to say that our guild will be moving from KTM to Omen this week. I detest the Omen interface, but there are simply too many bugs present in KTM as it stands, and the lack of updates or feedback vs the continuous work on Omen have made it impossible to justify sticking with this addon. I suspect this is a similar story to many and recent recruits to the guild have been amazed we've stuck with KTM this long. 2 months without update or feedback when there are some pretty glaring issues was the killer, sorry.

Illidanel saidThough I am not very like it, but I have to say: now KTM IllidanelMod V4.24 supports send/receive threat messages from/to ThreatLib-2.0 then support communicates with Omen2...
You know where to got it...

jericho saidSigh ... curse hates me. Lost my entire post.. Okay for the redo.
My biggest question here is, "Is Kenco going to update KLH ThreatMeter anytime soon?"
It has been well over a month since the last update, which did nothing to fix/repair most of the real issues that have sprung up since the 2.4 patch. While I understand people have real lives and are busy, a little communication on the status of the once best addon for WoW is needed. The sheer number of errors I get as a tank every raid is only increasing. Not to mention the number of fights that KTM is flat out not even useful because of the huge bugs in how it currently manages fights with threat wipes or immunity phases (re: Gurtogg).
No offense to Illidanel but the fact that the website for his "fanmod" that supposedly fixes some of these issues is in Chinese and i do not read that language makes it awfully hard for me to understand what has been changed as well as to trust the content of said website.
So once again, I beg for some sort of communication either way. Is KTM a dead project? Is it alive and just on a ventilator while Kenco deals with real life? Like I said before, we all deserve not to have to deal with "stuff" but a little communication is customary. Thank you.

Thanks for your efforts in making this better.
