Tried it tonite with the latest versions, BigWigs r15496 and BigWigs_HealBotAssist r15108.
BugSack caught the following error:

Also, the list started at #1, then the next person called was the last person on the list(#14 in our case). It then worked it's way up the list(#14,#13,#12..) in reverse order. There was no group notification for spore rotations either.
Few requests:
-Ability to output who healed on the raid/healer channel with timestamp
-Sync list amongst other people using the mod and list generated alphabetically or custom made maybe
Rabbit can you explain why the healing rotation is arranged such as it is? My guild is using this but some of the healers have questions about why the rotation looks the way it does.
Malan, it simply iterates the RosterLib roster table using pairs(...), which means order is "not guaranteed" from 3 sources: WoW raid1-40 ID's, RosterLib table and pairs. None of these guarantee order.
nice add-on, though my guild hardly use any add-ons on loatheb, just using voice comms and macrosses in healers chat.
Though would be nice to optimize this process with some kind of small "client" module of BWHBA:
it should contain only 1 feature: report your current heals to set channel
I mean you should be able to set over slash commands things like:
-healers channel
-your number in healing chain
-Name of healer who's healing after you lend your heal
after this pressing a heal button (or maybe macro?) shold print following info(lets say healing channel is /4 ):
/4 #1 Monolit is starting to heal
if heal was aborted (e.g. tank didn't take enough damage to heal)
/4 #1 aborted
when you land your heal
/4 #1 Landed -> Imbahealer2 NEXT
/w Imbahealer2 Heal now!
Monolit, the addon does this automatically for all the raid members. That's the whole point of it - noone has to use any macros at all.
The raid leader simply runs this addon and it will report who heals when in the channel.
No configuration or action whatsoever is needed from anyone but the person who runs the addon.
well basicly the problem is that we are a bit scared to rely on addon after like 10+ loatheb kills, so we just keep using macro, but it's really messy sometimes i got : 1 macro for starting heal, 1 macro for "heal landed", i need to press "push to talk button" to speak on vent + my heal button + ofc need to follow the rotation on spores and potions\bandages :)
though nvm i'm trying to learn lua now so maaaaybeee some day i will be able to do it myself ^^ good stimul , eh? :D
I understand that you're scared of it, I would be as well.
Try it out on one kill, just give it to your RL and tell him to join some custom channel like "mytestchannel" and set that to be the announce channel for BWHBA. Then just kill him normally and your RL will see that it works perfectly.
Of course, your custom rotation and the BWHBA rotation will not be the same, but the messages and timers will work.
Malan, it simply iterates the RosterLib roster table using pairs(...), which means order is "not guaranteed" from 3 sources: WoW raid1-40 ID's, RosterLib table and pairs. None of these guarantee order.
We were curious because it continuously places one of our highest healing druids at the start of the rotation, and then one of our worst priests as the number 2 man. (Week after week it does this, the same 2 players in the number 1 and 2 healing slot) This addon is great, but could *really* use a way to alter the order of the rotation.
There has been a lot of work done on BWHBA from other people, like Saroz. I have not done any work on it for quite a while, and it's hard for me to do anything since I'm not a member of any raiding guild at the moment :(
If you tell me what's wrong with it, I might be able to fix it, though.
latest revesion i tryed didn't notice anything in its sourroundings, all healers stayed ready in the box even though they healed, and no one got whispers apart from the 2 initial ones when you scan, the set channel command is bugged and only fires if you reset the module, and even then that didn't spam anything, revision 17267 seemed to work for a guilde but i haven't checked if its compatible with the newest changes to Bigwigs, its not using the latest naming scheme atleast
Since BigWigs was made LoD, the debuff is not being recognized on the healers after they cast a heal. A guildy of mine explained to me that the LoD changes screwed up SEEA, so the debuffs aren't going to be seen by HBA until this is fixed.
After months of successful Loatheb kills using this addon, I wiped my raid on Loatheb this past week using the latest version, after we spent hours farming a Hakkar heart, Ony head, DM buffs, etc :(
Can anyone confirm the latest working version, and is it compatible with the most recent BigWigs?
It starts to work and then stops working compeltely :(

i really hope someone adds the ability to move players sometime, then it will be a viable replacement for LV

now i'm confused... so its only raid leader who need to run this addon, or every healer need to install and raid leader enable chat spam?

For some reason peoples debuffs aren't being registered on the mod leading to the mod not starting properly.
Had to reroll to an old bigwigs / healbot.
No errors to report though.
