Shout-out to @Amanthuul and @espionn for their contribution to the code. Thanks! :person_bowing:

General

A new system has been introduced to design effects more easily. Cataclysm is in desperate need of new effects, and such system helps a great deal.

Spell Alerts

The sound is no longer played for minor spell alerts, such as Mage's Heating Up or Shaman's Maelstrom Weapon before the fifth stack.

Bug Fixes

Hunter

Arcane Shot no longer glows during Lock and Load (Cataclysm).

Mage

Pyroblast! (with an exclamation mark) is no longer counted for triggering Heating Up (Cataclysm). Pyroblast (with no exclamation mark) is still counted.

Texture orientation for Fringers of Frost, Frozen debuff and Brain Freeze were incorrect (Cataclysm).

Warlock

Known Issues

Some classes have so many options that they may end up outside the options panel.

Spell Alert texture for Bladestorm may have the wrong orientation if the player changes gender / body type at the barber shop, or if the player has a temporary race change with spell and items such as Orb of Deception.

Mildly Cataclysmic

This release focuses on supporting runes for Season of Discovery and starts adding new things on Cataclysm.

General

Texture files have been removed from the addon package when they are already included in Cataclysm game files. As such, the archive is now significantly smaller for Cataclysm than other flavors, despite using more textures than ever before.

Classes

Death Knight

The Death Knight class experiments the upcoming rework for Cataclysm. Ideally, you shouldn't see any difference for Wrath Classic. Existing Death Knight effects were fixed for Cataclysm. Make sure to report issues you would encounter, thank you :)

New Spell Alerts:

• Crimson Scourge (Cataclysm)
• Sudden Doom (Cataclysm)
• Will of the Necropolis (Cataclysm)

New Glowing Buttons:

• Blood Boil, during Crimson Scourge (Cataclysm)
• Death Coil, during Sudden Doom (Cataclysm)
• Icy Touch, during Rime (Cataclysm)
• Obliterate, during Killing Machine (Cataclysm)
• Rune Tap, during Will of the Necropolis (Cataclysm)

Druid

New Spell Alerts:

• Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse (Cataclysm)
• Shooting Stars (Cataclysm)

Updated Spell Alert:

• Nature's Grace (TBC, Wrath, Cataclysm) now has a fixed texture
• Nature's Grace has been scaled to 70% (down from 100%)

New Glowing Buttons:

• Starfire, during Lunar Eclipse (Cataclysm)
• Wrath, during Solar Eclipse (Cataclysm)
• Starsurge, during Shooting Stars (Cataclysm)

Hunter

New Spell Alert:

• Lock and Load (Season of Discovery)

Unlike Wrath, there are no glowing buttons for Lock and Load, which empowers all shots on Season of Discovery. Adding options for each of them would break the options panel, not to mention it would be a mess to setup for players. Until we find a more suitable solution, Hunters will have to rely on the spell alert to know when to unleash Lock and Load.

Paladin

Updated Spell Alert:

• Infusion of Light texture and position have changed since Wrath

New Glowing Buttons:

• Holy Shock, as combat-only counter
• Flash of Light, during Infusion of Light (Cataclysm)
• Holy Light, during Infusion of Light (Cataclysm)
• Divine Light, during Infusion of Light (Cataclysm)

Warrior

New Spell Alerts:

• Bloodsurge (Cataclysm)
• Sudden Death (Cataclysm)

• Sword and Board (Season of Discovery)

Updated Spell Alert:

• Shield Slam, during Sword and Board (Cataclysm)
• Shield Slam, during Sword and Board (Season of Discovery)
• Overpower, during Taste for Blood (Season of Discovery)

As in Wrath, there is no dedicated Taste for Blood option in Season of Discovery. Taste for Blood shares its option with Overpower.

Bug Fixes

Death Knight

Killing Machine (Cataclysm) no longer glows Icy Touch and Howling Blast.

Druid

When logging in or reloading UI while under the effect of Lunar or Solar Eclipse, the spell alert was shown then hidden immediately.

Mage

Death Knight's Hungering Cold (Wrath, Cataclysm) is now tagged as Frozen debuff.

Warrior

Blood Surge (Season of Discovery) did not trigger correctly.

Bloodsurge (Wrath) and Sudden Death (Wrath) spell alerts did not preview when hovering the mouse over their respective option in the options panel.

Give Life Back to Music

This release follows up the recently added combat-only system, supports new runes in Season of Discovery, adds a sound option for spell alerts, and scratches the surface of Cataclysm.

Shout-out to @Amanthuul and @steijner for their contribution to the code. Thanks! 🙇

General

Cataclysm

This is the first release that tackles Cataclysm. There is much to be done, so the addon is still in alpha for this new flavor. As usual, feedback is appreciated. Thank you :з

Spell Alerts

The SpellActivationOverlay functionality from Cataclysm always played a sound when an alert was displayed. This addon plays the exact same sound.

An new option has been added to control it, enabled by default for Cataclysm, and disabled otherwise. It can be changed from the options panel, available by entering /sao

Classes

Mage

New Glowing Buttons:

• Deep Freeze (Season of Discovery), during Fingers of Frost
• Deep Freeze (Season of Discovery), when the target is Frozen

All mage effects below are related to Cataclysm.

New Spell Alerts:

• Arcane Missiles!
• Arcane Potency, as combat-only effect
  • the effect is disabled by default because it does not really change the rotation, and to reduce visual clutter
  • there is a known issue where the 1-stack visual effect does not fade out quickly after leaving combat #219
  • (it still fades out after 30 seconds like every spell alert)

Updated Spell Alerts:

• Heating Up and Hot Streak
  • tests during Beta indicate that it is no longer possible to bank a Heating Up stack when Hot Streak is active
  • due to how talents were reworked, the Heating Up effect is displayed only if the mage has Improved Hot Streak
• Impact
  • while the visual effect is similar to Wrath Classic, please note Impact has been reworked

Unchanged Spell Alerts:

• Brain Freeze
• Clearcasting
• Fingers of Frost
• Frozen debuff

Bug Fixes

Counters

Counter-based Spell Alerts could incorrectly stay visible if the counter ability was lost e.g., after resetting talents. Glowing buttons were not affected and already stopped glowing, as intended.

Carefully Crafted Combat Counters

This release introduces a new system: combat-only abilities. The release also engages in new Season of Discovery content.

General

Seasonal

This release bumps TOC file for the new Season of Discovery content.

Counters

Abilities in the counters category can be classified as 'combat-only'. Their alerts and glowing buttons will fade out after a few seconds after leaving combat.

This setting is targeted at abilities that basically have an infinite duration. They were annoying when commuting or AFK'ing in a capital city, because you got either a visual alert in the middle of the screen, or buttons were glowing, or both. As a result, players either deactivated the effect or played with that annoying effect and eventually ended up desensitized.

Please note, if the ability becomes available when out of combat, the alert or glowing button will activate for a few seconds. This helps players who want to engage combat when their favorite spell or ability is ready, but want to be prepared before entering combat. (Note to Burning Crusade players: it doesn't matter whether or not you think you are prepared, for Illidan believes you are not)

Classes

Hunter

Flanking Strike (Season of Discovery) is now classified as 'combat-only'. The spell alert and glowing button will fade out after a few seconds after leaving combat.

Mage

Heating Up is now classified as 'combat-only'. The spell alert will fade out after a few seconds after leaving combat, much sooner than the previous 30-second limit.

Paladin

New Glowing Button:

• Exorcism, as combat-only counter

Priest

New Spell Alert:

• Surge of Light (Season of Discovery)

New Glowing Buttons:

• Flash Heal, during Surge of Light (Season of Discovery)
• Smite, during Surge of Light (Season of Discovery)

Shaman

Molten Blast (Season of Discovery) is now classified as 'combat-only'. The spell alert and glowing button will fade out after a few seconds after leaving combat.

Bug Fixes

Counters

Counters were incorrectly flagged as unavailable during the Global Cooldown (Classic Era only).

Druid

Visual timers of Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse (Season of Discovery) should now refresh their duration correctly when gaining a stack.

Season of Self Foundry
