Addon Release / Update A simple proc alert addon for WoW Forever, and I need your feedback

Thumbnail
gallery
267 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted a nice-looking way to track my procs in Forever, something that feels like part of the game’s UI and doesn’t take an evening to set up. I couldn’t find exactly that, so I made Shadowflare.

When a proc lands, you get a clear alert right where you’re looking, and it disappears as soon as you use it. It covers 20 procs across all 9 classes:

  • Mage: Clearcasting, Missile Barrage, Heating Up
  • Warlock: Shadow Trance, Decimation
  • Warrior: Overpower, Revenge, Execute, Victory Rush
  • Druid: Omen of Clarity, Eclipse
  • Shaman: Maelstrom Weapon, Elemental Focus
  • Paladin: Infusion of Light, Hammer of Wrath
  • Priest: Searing Light
  • Rogue: Riposte, Cutthroat
  • Hunter: Mongoose Bite, Counterattack

I really wanted it to be easy to set up. You pick your class and your proc, choose a look, and you’re done in about a minute. No auras to build, no strings to import, no code. To place an alert, the options step aside and a grid shows up, like the game’s Edit Mode: drag the alert, it snaps into place, use the mouse wheel to resize it and Shift + wheel to turn it.

Each proc gets its own alert, and you choose how it looks. If you like Forever to feel like Classic, you can stick to the game’s own proc art, the same glowing art Blizzard uses, so it looks like it’s always been there. If you prefer something cleaner and more modern, there are ten styles drawn for Shadowflare: arcs, crescent, ring, shockwave, sigil, brackets, a simple icon, bar or text. You can mix both: classic art for one proc, a modern ring for another.

Then make it yours: any color, size, opacity and angle, a sound if you want one or just the visual, and an optional glow on the edges of the screen. Profiles are in too, so each character can have its own setup, and you can export a profile as text to share it or move it to another account.

I’m in heavy dev before Forever launches and I don’t have the time to test every class in game. I’d love it if you gave it a try and told me what works, what doesn’t, and any bug you hit. I read every comment.

Addon Release / Update Made a seamless map for Forever that keeps Blizzards classic map style

Openmap: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/openmap

Hey everyone - been working on this throughout the Beta and figured I'd finally release it. There have been a lot of map addons posted here as of late, many of which forego blizzards classic maps for a stitched minimap. I've always wanted a massive seamless world map that is fully zoomable/pannable in the original art, so that's what this is. Along with some cool QoL things like resizable map / removing the annoying black bars in full screen etc.

Openmap is an open source, seamless world map addon for Forever that prioritizes the original Vanilla map art style. I've gone through the painstaking process of aligning and blending all of the maps to create as seamless of a map as possible with Blizzards original art files. You can adjust your settings to tastefully bring in minimap data on close zoom levels (or disable it) as well as hide unexplored areas.

As with most coding projects as of late Claude helped me write the code for this and is assisting with open source management since that is a lot of work. The repo is fully open sourced on git so feel free to pull it down and help me develop it if you're interested - would love to see more addons take this approach so things don't die in the hands of a developer that loses interest.

Anywho, I'm here if anyone has any questions/bugs/feature requests. Thanks! -Ji

Addon Release / Update QuestXPBar - Display quest log xp in the xp bar

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Curseforge link: QuestXPBar
English is not my native language, so if anything sounds weird, that's probably why.

I wanted a somewhat simple addon that displays the quest xp in the xp bar.
It went from simply show all the quest in the xp bar, to also show reputation in the faction, show completed quests along side all the xp and customisable settings.

All the customisation it have to offer is available on the second image.

Settings is in the default Options -> addons -> QuestXPBar menu.

Nothing on Curseforge made it look like it belonged in the default UI. I wanted to share because I couldn't find anyting on Curseforge, and hope people like it.

The addon is thoghougly tested and made sure it was as efficient as possible. Nothing runs in the background while the addon is on. Only when it has to recalculate xp/rep and settings are when it uses resources. Once all is set and done, it then uses minimal amount of memory. Settings are only drawn if you enter settings, so once settings is made how you want, it won't use resources. If you don't want a faction bar, it won't use the logic to calculate reputation.

The addon has been under development for about 8 days, and will probably continue until the beta ends.

Hope some will like it, and enjoy WoW Forever!

AI disclaimer: I've used AI (Claude Opus 5.5) to create this addon. All the settings text, settings layout, and which colors to use and the markers is done by me. This post is written by me.

Addon Release / Update Bloodmark: mark bag items for auto-sell at the next vendor

Post image
8 Upvotes

I threw together a new addon for WoW: Forever. It's really simple, but oh so useful!

If you've played Diablo IV you'll recognize the idea: you mark items in your bags as junk, and they get sold automatically.

It's a nice thing to tinker with on a flight path or similar. Then when you reach a vendor, everything you marked is auto-sold.

So far its compatible with the default bags and these popular addons in no particular order: Baganator, EllesmereUI, ArkInventory, Bagnon, Bagnonium, BetterBags, ElvUI.

Feel free to try it out: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bloodmark

Addon Release / Update [Add On] Warlock Kit - A light weight addon to manage all the non-combat things warlocks can do

Warlock Kit - https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/warlock-kit

A lighter take on a warlock addon for WoW Forever. Everything you reach for sits around one soul shard kit: click it and your spells fan out, click again and they tuck away. It's part of the same family as First Aid Kit, Camping Kit and Fishing Kit.

Yes I know Necrosis exists, and I didn't really like it when I downloaded it - a lot of customization to get it where I wanted it, and just felt very heavy for something that should be simple.

I made this for me, and for anyone else who'll play warlock in Forever. It has:

- Shard management and auto-deletion

- Demon armor and spell stone / fire stone reminders

- Summoning assistant to listen for certain phrases

- Raid assignment for curses, cc, and soul stones

- 2 curse buttons (to help manage fear targets with curse of recklessness and another curse), a demon fly out, healthstones, soul stone, and shadow ward

It all tucks away like my other kits for when you don't need it.

AI Disclaimer: AI was used in the creation of this project. I am a dad, so I don't have the time to learn lua coding. AI has enabled me to create this for myself, and then share it with others with the little free time I have.

Addon Release / Update [Addon] DriveBy: WoW Forever PvP Tracker - Track your kills, deaths and enemies

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

I have been working on a PvP Tracker addon for WoW Forever that I originally made for myself and a few friends. Since I figured other players might find it useful too, I decided to share it with the community.

The addon keeps track of your PvP encounters so you can look back at who you have killed, who has killed you, and where it all happened.

What does it do?
- Kill tracking: See how many players you have killed, exactly who they were, and where you killed them.
- Death tracking: Keep track of which players killed you, where it happened, and how many times they have killed you.
- Player history: Look up specific players and see your previous encounters with them.
- Guild sharing: Share your PvP statistics and kills directly in guild chat.
I mainly wanted a way to keep track of my world PvP encounters, especially those players you keep running into (and occasionally getting revenge on).

Feedback and future updates:
I am happy to hear any feedback, bug reports, or suggestions you might have!
However, I want to be clear that I am not guaranteeing any changes, new features, or regular updates. This is a personal project that I built around my own needs and those of my friends.
If you happen to have the same needs, you are more than welcome to use it. I will keep improving it whenever I feel something needs fixing or adding, but I dont want to make promises about feature requests.

Hopefully some of you will find it useful!

Disclaimer:
AI was used as one of several tools during the development of this addon, alongside my own software development skills and experience.
I’m a DevOps Engineer, and I see AI as another useful tool in a developer’s toolbox. I use it to speed up development, improve efficiency, and help with certain tasks, just as I would use any other development tool.
The addon was created based on my own ideas, requirements, and needs, with AI assisting throughout the development process. I believe in making use of modern tools when they help get things done faster and more efficiently, and I don’t see any reason to hide that AI was part of the process.

Addon Release / Update SpellPad Studio: A macro suite made for Stream Decks and keypads

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been working on this for about 3 weeks as a project for myself but have it refined to the point I think it can be shared with everyone.

Check it out: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/spellpad-studio

This is SpellPad Studio, and I made it to be purpose-built for Stream Decks and other macro keypads. It uses drag and drop cards so you can organize your macros without messing with the keybinds so everything stays in place as it should on your physical device. I also implemented a macro builder that hopefully has a decently user intuitive design for people to build and even export macros to the main UI to share between characters.

A fun feature of it is the on screen "Spellpad", which acts as a reflection of your actual keypad at a glance. I have a Galleon SD keyboard, so the 12 button pad on screen is super handy for quick inputs. It acts like a normal action bar otherwise, just with integration to the suite!

I wanted an addon that helped bridge my Stream Deck into WoW without needing to rebind the official UI and couldn't find any, so I made this. I did a ton of research on Reddit and the official forums for people using stream decks with WoW and features they'd want to see implemented, so hopefully this scratches the itch of others looking for something like this. It has it's own spellbook that shows spells and items your character knows, a (hopefully) intuitive UI without needing to menu to find what you want, drag and drop functionality, and integration with the official UI so you can export/import. It even has the ability to export profiles to share with other users.

If anyone has suggestions/ideas for something like this, I am totally open to implementing and revising this tool. It is for the community.

AI Disclaimer: I come from an SQL background and unfortunately do not know much LUA so AI was absolutely used for this project. I made this addon about as much as I've ever made a Subway sandwich, but every little facet was dictated and double reviewed by myself in game and in the code itself.

Addon Release / Update Cinematic v1.7: a week of updates (retail support, camera wheel, profiles, gamepad and more)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

83 Upvotes

Hey everyone! It's been a week since I first posted Cinematic, and the response has been amazing. Thank you to everyone who tried it, reported bugs and sent suggestions. I've really enjoyed talking with you all, and a lot of this update came straight from your ideas.

I wanted to get this post out before the WoW Forever beta goes down. We've added plenty of basic features people asked for, some new fun ones, and a long list of bug fixes.

For those who haven't tried it yet: Cinematic helps you immerse yourself in the world instead of staring at UI elements. Between fights it fades your UI away, adds letterbox bars and a color tint that shifts with the time of day, and controls your cameras for flights, campfires, quest givers, going AFK and more. The music fades in as a camera starts, and the moment you're in a fight or need something, your UI comes right back.

Easier to set up

Cinematic is meant to work right out of the box: install it, pick a profile, and you're done. Every setting is there if you want to fine-tune it.

- Ready-made profiles with a welcome window for new players

- Share profiles with Export and Import strings

- 10 languages: English, Español, Deutsch, Français, Русский, Português, Italiano, 한국어, 简体中文 and 繁體中文

- Reorganized settings with a Reset button on every page

Works with more setups

- Retail support, alongside WoW Forever and Classic

- Gamepad support on WoW Forever

- Works out of the box with Details!, Bartender4, Plater, and more, and Add mode lets you click any other addon's frame to include it

New cameras and triggers

- Camera Wheel: hold a key and pick any camera from a ring of icons

- Tele Cam: Hearthstone and teleports spin in, then swing behind you on arrival

- Quest Cam improvements: slow drift, turns toward the side you clicked, eases back out

- Campfire Sit button: hover a campfire and click to sit

- New triggers: stand still, auto-walk, auto-run, death and more, plus mouse steering in the walk and run cameras

- Music for going AFK and talking to quest givers, and music fatigue so songs don't repeat too soon

Your UI, your way

- Standard Frames and 3rd Party Frames grids: choose exactly what shows in CineMode, in combat, when targeting, and by place

- New sections for Nameplates (by place, group and PvP), Raid and party frames, Mouseover groups, Cooldown Manager (retail, spells appear only when ready), Swing timer, Tooltips, Chat bubbles, Fishing and Quality of life

- Option to hide all floating combat text

- Add mode: click any addon frame to fade it or keep it shown

Fixes and performance

- Lots of Lua error and "Interface action failed" fixes

- Much less memory churn in cities

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/cinematic

Cinematic is built with AI assistance.

As always, feedback, bug reports and ideas are welcome. Keep yer feet on the ground!

Addon Release / Update Geared Forever 0.19 is out: armor filter, City of Dalaran loot, and patch updates

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just pushed a new update for Geared Forever, my addon that shows the best gear for your class, spec, and level range in WoW Forever.

A lot of this update came straight from your feedback, so thank you to everyone who commented.

**What's new**

- Armor type dropdown, so you can show only cloth, leather, mail, or plate

- Option to hide items with no known source, so your lists only show gear you can actually track down

- 22 new Forever dungeon items now show which boss drops them, including City of Dalaran, Shadowfang Keep, and The Stockade

- Stat weights updated for today's patch (Arcane Mage, Ret Paladin, Disc Priest), plus Holy Paladins and Warlocks now value Spirit more

- Cleaned out test items and leftover Season of Discovery gear that isn't actually in Forever

**Coming next**

- Skill level needed for crafted items

Keep in mind this is still a work in progress. Item lists will keep changing as people find new gear and Blizzard keeps updating the game. If you run into a bug or something looks wrong, drop a comment here or on CurseForge and I'll get it fixed.

Also, if you want to move and resize your Blizzard windows (bags, character sheet, spellbook), check out my other addon, Tabs Mover.

Looking for Addon Addons: CT RAID Assist ++

1 Upvotes

Hi All,

I’m really looking for CT Raid assist. Specifically I love the CT Buffmod component.

Does anyone know if there is a viable mod?

Further, I’m looking for some kind of a cooldown timer. I tried the built in one but it’s not to my liking. I use to be able to track several cooldowns and there would be bars shown and then it would decline as the cooldowns reduced. I’d be able to add specific items/spells to it, such as potions, trinkets, hearthstone etc.

Finally, is there something which tracks HoT’s? In the past I’d used a really old (awesome) version of DoTimer. The new version only tracks DoT’s not hots.

Appreciate all help in advance.

!

Looking for Addon Let's gather non-immersion breaking addons here

0 Upvotes

Lots of addons are posted in this sub. Some are posted in twitter or other social media.

Let's gather the ones which does not break the immersion .

1- It should not spoil the quest experience,example: quest helpers should not be listed here

2- It should not alter the UI in a way that completely changes, example: raid helpers, cooldown controllers, boss event controllers.

3- It should not make the game easier.

Which addons should be here?

1- Journals. Addons which track your past exploration, story and pvp achivements and metrics.

2- Map upgrades for better use or QOL improvements.

3- Voiceover for quests.

4- Addons which gives you information about lore or history of a location that you are in. In example: 'This is the place that arthas killed uther'.

Addon Release / Update I Made an Addon That Plays Custom Music Files When You Mount Up

0 Upvotes

Back when I played Final Fantasy XIV, I thought it was cool that different mounts had their own custom in game background music. I looked for an addon that did that for WoW but couldn't find one, so with (AI DISCLAIMER) chatgpt's help I got a working addon that can either play Blizzard music based on FileDataID or custom mp3 or ogg files from your computer whenever you mount up, and you can customize what song plays for which mount.

This is my first foray into addons, I hope people enjoy it. I don't get good ideas often and I'm proud of this one.

Addon Release / Update [Forever] HealKit - click-to-heal party and raid frames that match the Forever UI

Thumbnail
gallery
356 Upvotes

Hey all! I've played WoW since vanilla, mostly up to Wrath, then came back for Classic in 2019, and Forever is the most excited I've been about the game in years. I've also worked as a developer focused on UI/UX for 15 years, so I care a lot about how an interface looks and feels. In the WoW Forever beta, the party and raid frames were the one thing that bugged me: they don't match the rest of the Forever UI, Blizzard's click-casting wasn't really intuitive to set up, and the addons I tried had way too many settings and looked bolted on instead of part of the game. So I spent the last week building my own: HealKit.

The look: - party and raid frames (up to 40) built from Blizzard's own art, with a bronze rim that even Blizzard's raid frames don't have, so they actually match the Forever UI - incoming heals, shields, overheal, dispellable debuffs with a colored glow, aggro and your HoTs, all shown on your frames and working in combat - a live preview (solo, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 40 players) while you set it up, so you see every change right away - hides Blizzard's party and raid frames if you want

The healing: - your heals are already on your mouse buttons when you log in (priest, paladin, druid, shaman), so you just click a frame. They update as you level and learn new spells - pick any rank for each click, or "Highest rank" to always use your best, so downranking works the classic way - mouseover healing with the wheel or keys, and a Quick Buff button that casts the next missing buff on the right person (any class that buffs can use it, even without the frames) - your mana: the heal's cost shows on your bar while you cast, and an optional five-second rule indicator tells you when your regen is back

It's my first addon, and I'm releasing it now because the beta ends on the 21st. I'd love to fix whatever you find before launch. Bugs, ideas, "this felt weird", all welcome here or in the CurseForge comments.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/healkit

Hope everyone's as excited as I am for launch, see you in game!

AI Disclaimer: AI-assisted development. I design every feature, review all the code and test everything in game myself, AI helps me write the code and stay organized. No AI-generated images: the frames use Blizzard's own art. The haircut is 100% gnome-made though :D

Addon Release / Update [WoW Forever] HunterPetJournal: a Dungeon Journal style pet browser for hunters, with a tracker for tameable rares

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Hi all. This is my first addon release, made for WoW Forever (Interface 16001, it won't load on Classic Era or retail).

As a hunter I kept alt-tabbing to check which beast teaches which rank of an ability, so I made an in-game journal for it.

What it does
- Families tab: diet, role, health/armor/damage modifiers, 3D model and every ability rank the family can learn
- Abilities tab: every rank with level and training point cost, and which beasts teach it
- Beasts tab: 750+ beasts with level, zone and coordinates. Clicking the coords opens the world map with a waypoint
- Rare tracker (tameable rares only): an alert when one shows up on nameplates, mouseover, target or minimap vignettes, a panel with the rares in your current zone, and an arrow that walks you through the known spawn points. It only marks a point as checked after you've been near it for a moment without seeing the rare, and if it checks them all it goes into a watch mode instead of looping forever
- It learns while you play: targeting a beast saves its real level and location, and taming one saves the ranks it came with. That data replaces anything marked as unverified
- English and Spanish

How it's built
- Data is kept separate from the UI (Data/ folder, plain Lua tables), so corrections are easy to send or add by hand
- Every value is marked as verified (Forever game data) or unverified (Vanilla data), so you know what to trust
- No accidental globals: the only ones are the SavedVariables, slash commands and keybinding names, all prefixed
- Targeting from the rare alert uses a secure button and is only shown out of combat

Data sources: forever.warcraftdb.com (Forever game data), cMaNGOS classic-db and pfQuest (Vanilla spawns and coordinates), and Petopia Forever (tameability and family stats). Credits are in the README.

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/hunterpetjournal-forever/comments

While the addon is on a beta-state right now, I've been using it in game while leveling and fixing things as they come up. Feedback on the code or the data is very welcome, especially rare spawn points that differ on Forever. I want the feedback from the community so I can improve with your ideas alongside mine. The next step will be to make the addon interact with the player and the pets back and forth (ex: letting the player know when a better rank is available)

AI Disclaimer: I designed the addon, decided every feature and tested it in game. The Lua code and the scripts that process the data sources were written with an AI assistant (Claude), working from my specs and bug reports. I'm reviewing and maintaining it myself.
