Acherus Runes

Table of Contents

Description

Acherus is a Death Knight addon providing displays for runes, procs, runic power, and diseases. A great effort has been put in to make all features customizable. Animations are provided to make it very easy to see when things become available and unavailable.

Enjoy!

Usage

Slash Command

To open the configuration type /ac or /acherus, click on the minimap button, or use a Data Broker display that's compatible with launchers.

Translation Request

I currently need translators to help convert the English in the menus into the following languages:

French
Korean
Latin American Spanish
Russian
Simplified Chinese
Spanish
Traditional Chinese

Go to the localization page if you'd like to translate. It's open to anyone with an account. Curse has a system setup so that phrases can be translated very fast and easily with no manual editing of files. Thanks!

FAQ

Acherus uses tons of memory / cpu!

This is just because it starts with "A" and is loading first in your setup, and getting blamed for all the resources used in shared libraries by all your addons. If you're concerned you can test by installing standalone versions of the libraries, especially Ace3. It's normal though; some addon always gets blamed for the shared libraries. It's not a real problem.

What was AcherusLoader?

AcherusLoader was a folder in older versions that helped the addon load only on Death Knight characters. Newer versions handle this differently. Now, if you forget to manually disable Acherus on a non-DK, it will disable itself. You can delete the old AcherusLoader folder if you still have it.

I would like to report 2 bugs:
When i have acherus runes enabled i can't use the 'Zoom' function of Bartender4 (it hides the borders of the default blizzard icons on the action bars).
I have the show minimap icon disabled, but sometimes it's on the minimap anyway. If i enable than disable the option it is hidden again, but after a reload ui it's back.

I'm updating this now. I also cleaned up old tickets. I left a lot of the feature requests as I still have to consider them.

I've updated this for Cata and 4.1.

- No more AcherusLoader folder; Acherus can handle disabling itself.
- Supports AddonLoader.
- Adjustments for 2-digit timers, fixes overlapping.
- Only show sparks when in bounds of the bar.
- Added proc for Will of the Necropolis.
- Option to disable procs individually.
- Fixed duration of Killing Machine.
- Fixed packaging issues with some libraries.
- Fixed Epidemic. (It's Rnwo's fix from comments here.)

I also added Scarlet Fever since it was requested and discussed in comments, but I'm interested in feedback about whether there's any point in doing it since 4.0.6 tied it to Blood Plague.

@PaterFrog

I had the same problem but had been ignoring it, but I just figured it out. Do you use PitBull or another unit frame mod? My problem was that I had disable the Runes Module in Pit which was causing Pit to fight with Acherus over the over control of the default runes. However, when I enabled the Runes Module in Pit but disabled it's use by the unit frame poof... no more default runes.

I may have fixed this in my updated version. It was probably due to Acherus Runes using a very old copy of a library also used by Button Forge.

All I want from this addon is the Rune Tracker, but it seems that the original Blizzard runes keep showing up even if I disable them.

Anybody know what causes that? Never got an error for that...

I don't encounter this issue using Acherus Runes and X-Perl. If you can say which combination of mods you're using (e.g. something other than X-Perl), I can look into it.

You can add support for Scarlet Fever, change line #42 in Diseases.lua from
local spellids = {59921,55078,49632,51735}
to
local spellids = {59921,55078,81130,49632,51735,48721}

Heres what i did, I dunno if its necessarily the best way to modify this, but its got the mod back working how I want it ;)

Fixes diseases for me

Edit Diseases.lua
Replace Line 104
maxtime = 15 + 3 * select(5,GetTalentInfo(3,4)) -- Epidemic talent
with
maxtime = 21 + 4 * select(5,GetTalentInfo(3,3)) -- Epidemic talent

Replace Lines 239,240 and 241
local icon1 = textures[1].timeleft and textures[1]
local icon2 = textures[2].timeleft and textures[2]
local icon3 = textures[3].timeleft and textures[3]
with
if textures[1] and textures[1].timeleft then
local icon1 = textures[1]
end
if textures[2] and textures[2].timeleft then
local icon2 = textures[2]
end
if textures[3] and textures[3].timeleft then
local icon3 = textures[3]
end

hope that helps fix Diseases for you

I'm a complete idiot with this kinda stuff. Can you tell me where I have to go to actually edit this? I went to open diseases.lua but it says there's no program selected to open it or whatever. I'm running on an imac if that helps at all.

Scratch that. I figured it out. And thank you oh so very much for the fix. I started using Forte Xorcist and well...I just didn't like it one bit compared to Acherus.

BTW, if anyone's curious, the second half of these changes with the "textures" was a workaround for an outdated library. In my version I updated the library instead of using this workaround. I did make the first set of changes to update Epidemic for Cata though.
