Authors CurseForge

The author of these nice addons is about to quit WoW:

Because I would hate to see Examiner die, I am looking for someone interested in taking over the project, and any other of my projects really. As I've not really been playing WoW for quite a while now, and I doubt I will get back to it again. Due to this, I cannot reliably keep this addon up to date anymore.

If you are interested, give me a PM here on WoWInterface.

At the moment there're no incompatibilities but it would be a shame if those addons become abandoned. Maybe someone around here likes to take them over.

Head over to WoW:I if you're interested.

that's sad news. i use all three of those addons. liked how easy they were to configure. hope someone can eventually take them over or author changes his mind. the way of the addon world though.

I would love if someone were to convert Examiner to use LibItemBonus instead of its own bastardized adaptation of BonusScanner. :P

I'm no lua guru but I had a look at the tool tip code awhile back it was pretty bad.

It isn't so much "bad" as just incredibly messy.

Wow, bummer. Examiner is the third inspect addon that I've used, and each one so far has fallen by the wayside and replaced by the next. Hopefully someone will keep it alive.

Yeah, I <3 these inspect-addons. Makes life of checking someone's stuff in a PUG or in PvP a lot easier :)

I've been considering making a really basic tooltip addon since the whole tinytip ordeal. If I have time I might take the tooltip or the cast bar.

Please do both if you can funky, I absolutely love these 2 mods and if you develop it further I just know the addon wont fail.

A tooltip addon for me needs to do 3 things:
a) Get the tooltip on my cursor, but use a smart-tape anchoring for spell/unitframe tooltips.
b) Display spec (ideally abbreviated: 'Demo(6/44/11)' for example).
c) Be as tiny as possible. Health and all is completely optional, as is any "advanced" information. If the tooltip covers 25% of my screen, there's no reason I should have it on the cursor after all.

I never used the Castbar but isnt Quartz doing everything (and more) that this castbar does?

The "and more" is the problem - it does to much :)

Being Modular that is not really a problem at all, disable unwanted Modules and voila

I tried AzCastBar once, but quickly dumped it due to lack of sufficient visual configuration options, colors in particular.
