A mod that tracks who Prayer of Mending is jumping to and how many charges you have left. Displaying it in a small movable window frame.
New Features in 2.0:
/pom options - Opens an option window
Clear button to reset healing.
Allows you track your TOTAL healing done if enabled, instead of resetting after each cast (better for raids).
If you are upgrading from an older version and having issues, try deleting the saved variables file in your WTF\Account\username\server\playername\Saved Variables\PoMtracker.lua
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

kazren saidThis add on works great for me, but the look of it is bad imo. I still use it, but was just wondering if it could be changed to look a bit nicer. Mend Watch looks fantasic, no blocky header or anything, just bars showing where it is. Just an idea I guess. Other than that, awsome job.

Moleculor saidI am NOT a fan of the look either. The timer bar is too small for me to see on my 13-inch screen, and the GinormousTitleBar takes up way too much space. I should also be able to turn off the amount healed or hide it and shove it into the options screen or something. Also, the options should be part of the interface screen anyway.
The timer bar should be behind the name of the person it's on, and the title should vanish entirely (it could come back as the anchor when needed).

elidion saidWell it's been that way for over a year now so I'm not about to change the look of the mod. Making the timer bar a bit wider, adding an option to not display the amount healed I can look into. As far as the "Ginormous" title bar goes, it can be hidden when you lock the mod in place. It's there as an anchor to drag the mod around, always has been. This mod was out before mendwatch and I never intend to make it feel like mendwatch. Most people tell me it looks very neat and organized, I think a bar behind the name looks tacky and easily confused with all the other bar mods out there...this mod looks different by design. Sorry you don't like it.

elidion saidPut up a beta version I am working on. The new combat log seems to misfire events a lot or from time to time skip certain events all together. So I've been working on safty nets and what not. Maybe it's because I can only test it in AV, I dunno.

dfscott saidI tried this latest version in Kara last and saw the same behavior of it missing jumps. Definitely my favorite PoM mod, but hopefully Bliz or whoever will sort out the missing events soon...

blayzee saidThanks a bunch for updating this great addon!
The new beta works most of the time, but sometimes it will still not register that a mend has healed, jumped or faded. Most commonly (as far as i can see :-) it will miss a jump, and it will timeout on a player which does not have the mend spell. This will also happen even though everyone in group is within 40 yards,
This is only occasionally though so the beta is still very usable :D
Thanks again for this great addon. Keep up the good work.

elidion saidUnfortunately there isn't much I can do about that as I explained in my previous post. It seems that the new combat system skips events from time to time and there is just nothing that can be done. If the mod doesn't receive the event that personA was healed or that personB received PoM it's just hosed for that round. I notice this happens a lot more frequently in battlegrounds. When there are tons of AoEs and 30-80 people around getting damaged, healed ect so many events are flying you just can't get them all I guess. In raids, and especially groups, it seems MUCH more reliable.
This has always been an issue but with this new combat event system it made it a bit worse since it is sending so much more data than before.

etherwarlock saidThis mod is not working for me in 2.4. It shows the first caste ok (usually MT) but at the first "bounce" show "No Target" and times out. Is this just me? Suggestions?
I really like to be able to track PoM but it seems that niether this mod nor Mendwatch work in 2.4. I hopw we get one that works soon, I know most healing priests would like to use it

elidion saidWell they took the PTRs down before I was finished with 2.0, This weekend I'll see about getting on the TTR to try and finish it up. Otherwise we might have to wait a couple days after 2.4 :(

elidion saidIt is actually Patch 2.4 that is having the combat logging overhauled. That is the patch that will break a lot of mods and require rewrites...I actually look forward to it because it will give us more options and hopefully make things much more accurate.

elidion saidThe title Bar will go away when you lock it in position, it's only there to help you drag it around on your screen. Type /pom for a list of all options. In regards to scaling, I've wanted to do it but just hadn't had the time. I had quit my priest and had just recently came back and realized I needed to get some changes done, so now I'm reintroducing myself to the whole wow programing again. Each patch changes some things around, and looking the 2.3 UI changes, there might be some great things in store for this mod, like more accurate tracking and some other feature ideas I've had. I think I am looking at a complete rewrite and if that happens I'll try to integrate some sort of scaling feature.

Heckler saidHi Elidion! I was wondering if you had plans to add a way to scale the bars, and to perhaps remove the frame title? My UI is already cluttered up as it is :( Great little mod though! Yours is the only PoM tracker around now that mendwatch is dead.

gamergirl saidI love this mod. It really has helped me in better mgmt of my PoM. I would love a mod that would track the PoM healing throughout a raid/encounter and can then report that. Can anyone suggest anything or any plans to add that to this mod? Thanks again for creating this.

elidion said@wernerCD I was originally going to integrate it into my Clairvoyance timer mod. But I had been so busy in RL I haven't got much done there. As far as getting the thing unstuck, you can try a /pom gui unlock and then click the title up top to drag. If you can't see that part, you can always delete your WTF\Account\username\server\playername\Saved Variables\PoMtracker.lua file. (while you are OUT of the game)
@xboxaddict21 Not sure why you are having problems, I don't. Of course the toc file is old so you have to tell it to use out of date addons, but other than that, there is no issue. I am working on a version with the test server 2.2 patch since that patch actually changed some LUA and UI stuff. Are you actually getting some kind of error?
