this addon is exactly what I'm looking for. Sad to say it dosen't work. It doesn't show any bars to me. I'm using the german client. Is that the reason or do I have to look deeper into it to find the reason?
- the spells name is "Versengen" (Scorch)
- the talents name is "Verbessertes Versengen" (Improved Scorch)
- the debuffs name is "Feuerverwundbarkeit" (fire vulnerability?)
Whenever I join any Battlegrounds-Raid, Scorchio! spams all the Mages names over and over the whole match and says they aren't playing (even though they are). Is this a bug or can I turn it off permanently?
This is definitely a bug! Or, at least, it's an oversight - Scorchio! knows nothing about crossrealms at the moment.
In the short term, you can turn off the Automatic Blacklisting, which should alleviate the spam. In the medium term, I intend to rationalise the Automatic Blacklisting process (which is currently hooked to anything changing in the raid, including the groups in which people are in, and then brutally spams all the mages, even if we already know their talent build). And in the long term, I'll try and sort the crossrealm bg handling - I don't PvP very much myself, so I'll need to investigate quite what needs to be considered first before I can tackle it.
I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this... I'm not sure if it's a bug that's currently being exprienced by a lot of Scorchio! users.
I notice that once the scorch timer ticks down and the full 5 stack debuff fades away from the target... when I rescorch again, it shows up as a full 5 stack again instead of resetting back to 1.
I haven't experienced the bug Shlpeey mentioned, but I got a small('ish) question/feature request.
I'm at the moment using ClassTimer to monitor my scorching, and ClassTimer utilises the new API functions to query time left on your own buffs so it's very accurate but obviously doesn't work for anything else but my target and focus.
Now in raids, there are no other mages using Scorchio so I get into situations where ClassTimer fails if I don't start the scorch-stack ('cos it's only for my own buffs) or if I start the stack and someone else without Scorchio refreshes it, then Scorchio fails and gets out of sync.
Would it be an idea for Scorchio to validate and check if there's time-remaining info from the WoW API available i.e. when I swap targets and so on to "re-sync" it? Or use the blizzard's functions 'till you swap targets and then fall back to saved data, or something similar :)
Dunno if this is a good idea, might be quite a work to implement now that I think about it, not sure

Scorchio! should work in that situation, assuming the other mages are still with event/combat log range when they cast. Are you sure you have Receive Data|Local Events set on?

It is on the cards - more as a sanity check than anything else. But I'm kind of dithering about doing it as 2.4 will (supposedly) bring unique mob ids, which will make all of these sorts of things much more straight forward...
Yeah the case was that the person wasn't in range of my combat log (opposite side at Gruul), I'm not sure if it's just my setup but since some 3-4 patches ago I haven't been able to increase my combat log range over the default 30yards or so :(
Think some of the errors I'm getting with the bar not resetting to zero after it runs out and going straight to 5 on a rescorch is cause of a play sound error... will edit this post and let you know more as I research it.
10 mins later...
Okay I turned off the sound warning output and it seems to be working better... doing further research...
hi ennui!
Nice work on the mod, if you want some info on changing font face/font size/font positions on candybars peek at the code in my SpellReminder addon. It's fairly similar to Scorchio! apart from it will only ever track spells you cast yourself (so it serves a different purpose, its more of a classtimer without datafiles). Check the "CreateReminderBar" function, i change the font, size, and move the position around a little bit. It just required a little poking around inside candybar :D
The problem is that I need to localise my RegExps for tracking the spells, which I haven't yet done. (This is also the problem with the Scorchio! on the German client too, Cerelyn.) I need to look into how it works in languages that us a different character set, but I hope to be on top of this soon...
Do I have to do anything special for scorch to get data from the combat log? My log range is at maximum and still can't see the debuffs from other fire mage in Kara and Gruul. Do I need to click or activate anything in addition to that two tickable options?
I'm having some problems with Scorchio. First I noticed that once the debuff on a mob wore off and i re-scorched, it would come back as having 2x scorches on it, not 1. I thought this might be an issue with the bar not fading after the scorch debuff did, so I set the fade time to 0, 1, 15, etc. but I still can't get the bar to fade at all. It will fade on the test bars, but not when fighting mobs. After the scorch debuff fades I usually also get a prompt to disable addons due to large numbers of errors.

Do you need further information?

- Removed Roster-2.1 and recoded RebuildMageList(). Scorchio! should handle corss-realm BGs now.
- deDE localisation added. (Thanks to Cerelyn.)
Also, a call for other localisation files - if you can help, please do... Thanks!

Is this happening for others?
Is it a consistent bug you've noticed? Does it happen when you're in raids, parties or solo, or all three? Do other people in the group have Scorchio!

I wanted to know if ti's possible to make a French localisation of this addon? I used to use DSScorchTimer but with the 2.2 .. :'(
I am up for helping you if you can make it :)
