Posted Feb 5, 2013Very good addon, but I'm having one problem so far. I've configured it to announce the buff/flask status to Raid chat on readycheck, but it's still only outputting it privately to myself. If i do a manual buff/flask check it works fine, just not on a readycheck. Is this normal?

Posted Feb 22, 2013It depends on exactly how you have the options set, what type of raid you are in, and who initiated the ready check. If you think there is a bug please open a report with complete information HERE.

Posted Feb 1, 2013Custom channel output is to direct output to a custom server chat channel, not directly to a local window. However you can create a new window, /join a custom channel and enable it only in that window, and then direct BigBrother to send output to that server channel.

Posted Jan 21, 2013Could you please make an anouncement to raid chat after the ready check so i don't have to keep on telling my raid who needs a flask? D:

Posted Feb 1, 2013This feature is already there - it's under Settings > "Ready Check auto-check".
By default it will report only to self, but you can enable report output to Raid.

Posted Jan 10, 2013Is it possible with this addon to configure the announcments?
What i mean is when someone is feared or i MD a target it has all the cross raid icons in chat. was wondering if this was customisable?

Posted Jan 10, 2013The cross icons are there when you MD a target who is not marked as a tank, which is usually considered "A Mistake". Same thing if a non-tank breaks a CC'd mob.
Best solution is to mark the player as a tank if it's their job to take aggro and break CCs, or if it's not then "don't do that" :-)

Posted Dec 3, 2012broken in 5.1 for me. shows 'you aren't in a party'. i isolated it down to this addon. shows up any time big brother has anything to report such as misdirecting on the tank and that option is active.

Posted Dec 6, 2012This is fixed in addon version 3.7.9
Note that LFR/LFG are no longer a raid or party in 5.1 - if you want to report there you need to enable report to "instance".

Posted Dec 1, 2012This addon is one of two out of 100+ addons I hvae that still uses Ace2. Any chance of a port to Ace3?

Posted Dec 6, 2012It's on my long list of programming projects that I'll eventually get to.
The addon remains fully functional, so it's not a very high priority.

Posted Jan 1, 2013The addon is functional, but the Ace2 library has some taint issues. Appreciate you keeping it updated, but a port to Ace3 would be greatly helpful.

Posted Jan 2, 2013Pretty sure there are no taint issues in the subset of Ace2 used by this addon (and incidentally BB uses a currentlly-maintained branch of Ace2, not the long-abandoned mainline).
If you think you have evidence otherwise open a ticket at http://www.wowace.com/addons/big-brother/tickets/

Posted Nov 21, 2012Aaand how about an option to announce missing buffs as well as food/flasks? :)
Now that there are only the 8 set buffs, an auto-reminder to my forgetfull druid would be awesome :)

Posted Dec 6, 2012That's beyond the scope of this addon, which focuses on buff display, not reminder spamming.
Check out RaidBuffStatus, which provides that functionality and nicely complements BigBrother.
