Perhaps I have overlooked something, but could you add an option (if it's not already there) with which I can tell the party which icon stands for what? :)

You can use the
/magic assignments
command for that.

/magic for info on all available options.

Just started using this... nice addon

Found a defect from the latest version off of SVN:

/mm about
Interface\AddOns\MagicMarker\Config.lua:1395 attempt to concatenate field 'version' (a nil value)

Hi, i'm using Magic Marker with a french client. In order to announce assigments to the raid chat with the icons displaying properly, I had to make this small hack :

in Locales/Local-frFR line 128 to 136

-- Raid icons
L["Star"] = "?toile"
L["Circle"] = "Cercle"
L["Diamond"] = "Losange"
L["Triangle"] = "Triangle"
L["Moon"] = "Lune"
L["Square"] = "Carr?"
L["Cross"] = "Croix"
L["Skull"] = "Cr?ne"

Damn ... this forums is messing up with accents. Is there a way to get this to work ?

In config.lua line 1295

 function MagicMarker:GetTargetName(ccid, link)
   if not ccid then
	 return "N/A"
   elseif link then
	 return format("{%s}", L[sub(RT_LIST[ccid], 2)])
     -- quite dirty, maybe there's a way to do better. You need to return the localised version of RT_list
   else
	 return iconLink:format(sub(RT_LIST[ccid], 2)) 
   end
  end
end

Here we are ! Thanks for this wonderful addon. It's incredibly useful.

This is an awesome addon. I just started leading my guild's raid and it takes all the headaches and time out of marking once you get it setup. We haven't done Black Temple yet so I was hoping someone could post their lua files so I can get the BT mobs in my database before going in. Otherwise it will take me all night to setup our marks.

thanx for this great addon, one of my dreams come true...:)
it made the nerving trash marking for example in bt such easy! still have to figure out some settings, but it directly become one of my best raidaddons beside my unitframes, ora and grimreaper!:)

but it seems that it do not like my beloved bagaddon "bagnon" since a few versions...before everything works fine. i appended the errors, could you please fix this?

one last question for now...my tankicon is the blue square, how can i tell magicmarker to set my focus to this except of the skull? the skull tank is meanwhile a bit irritated that i am marking my mobs automaticly with his target...;)

thanx in advance and fine regards

Sorry, not sure where I should post this, but I just pulled LibBars-1.0 off of the SVN branches so I could try MagicMarker, and I get an error on startup:

I also get errors whenever I toggle any configuration option.

hmm...
perhaps just a quick answer to REPLY#126?-.-

You should be able to set the order for tank icons in one of the tabs in the options window. There's also an option to honor existing markings, though I haven't used it.

Is there anyway for the addon to not count mages in groups 6,7,8 as sheepers? Mine has been doing this since I started using the mod.

thanx silverstorm. it works when i set the 1st tankicon to my blue square...but for some reason there is now still one tankicon to set, the others have disappeared...oO

and here is the error i still get...after a reload it works again just for a few mobs...seems it is the same error that doxxx got.
the lib versions are the same as the libs from magic marker and up to date.

I must say, I *love* this mod. As main tank and assumed icon marker for 5-mans, 10-mans and 25-man raids, this had made my job much more enjoyable, as well as made the runs much smoother and faster. A win-win for everyone!

I've been recommending MagicMarker to every tank/marker I know.

What's the best way to handle non-tank single target mobs? We used MagicMaker in ZA last night, and a good example of this is the Amani'shi Scouts on the path to Jan'alai. Traditionally, we have used circle to mark these, so in MagicMarker I set them up as Crowd Control "Burn Down", and set circle to be the Burn Down marker.

However, when I alt-mouse over them, it marks them as a single tank target. On most groups, you do in fact want at least 1 tank target, as MagicMarker specifies in the config, but for cases like the Amani'shi Scouts, you don't want them to be tanked. They need to be rooted/netted/stunned from range and taken down from range, all without a tank.

Is there a way to currently handle this different type of scenario? If I set Tank priority to Very Low and the Crowd Control priority to Very High, it will still get marked as a single tank target.
