[AddOn] RAT (Raid Ability Tracker)

[Atreyyo 0]

Introducing Raid Ability Tracker

What is Raid Ability Tracker?
It's basicly an addon that tracks certain class ability cooldowns (in raid) and puts them in an easy to view list.
Quickly sort by class or ability.

Only players with RAT will be listed, which means, if a player does not have the addon installed, you will not be able to see his cooldowns in RAT.

 

Set up your settings in the options menu before use.
Hold down "Alt" to move frame.

This addon looks like it has a lot of potential but I cannot get it to work properly. It's installed and when I type /rat in game, I'm given the 3 commands (/rat show, hide, options), but none of them seem to work or do anything. I cannot even see the RAT frame.

I looked at the code and noticed you have a lot of paths like : local backdrop =

{bgFile = "Interface\\auctionframe\\ui-auctionframe-auction-top"}  -- path to the background texture

 

I certaintly don't have an 'auctionframe' directory listed in my interface folder, and I noticed a lot of other file paths similar to this. Could that be the issue? You should include all of the graphics in the addon folder directly IMO.

 

Last, have you considered adding priest to this? Fear Ward is one of the more important abilities to track and it's not an option.

"Interface\\auctionframe\\ui-auctionframe-auction-top" is from wows own textures, this is the same texture you see when you visit the auctonhouse.

Did you get any error message?

I did not add priests as I didnt think anyone would want that and I never had a request to add them.

So, I did a bit more research and disabled all of my addons except the Ace framework. I get an error for nil value on line 2504 of rat.lua, 'paladinframe'.

I deleted all RAT related values in my account and saved variable folders, reinstalled the addon, deleted WDB folder, and still have the same issue.

 

A friend of mine was able to install the addon with no problems at all. I tried using it on a warrior and a priest (alliance).

Thanks for the feedback, I looked into it and found a spelling error which was the culprit who caused these issues.

Should be working now, feel free to try it out!

The fix works great. The next issue however is that I can't move the RAT frame. It's locked in position, and I can't figure out any way to move it. Dead center in the middle of my screen.

If you can fix that and add fear ward for priests, this could be a great addon.

Nice to hear it works :)
