Decursive key benefits
Ease of use:
- Decursive supports all classes with cleansing abilities and configures itself automatically, it works straight out of the box, no configuration is required.
- Intuitive interface and detailed options, Decursive is suitable for simple usage and power users.
Control what and who you want to dispel:
- Easily Filter out afflictions you don't want to cure or that are useless to remove by class (some are pre-configured). (Such as afflictions affecting mana on non-mana classes, etc...).
- Choose between what you can dispel (magic, curses, poison, diseases, charms) choosing their priority. (this allows you to share the cleansing work with other players effectively)
- Prioritize or exclude members. (keep players, classes, or raid groups in a specific order to cleanse them in order of importance)
Manage Mind controlled units:
- If you are a Mage, a Druid or a Shaman you can Polymorph/Cyclone/Hex mind-controlled players.
- In any case Decursive will allow you to target mind controlled units easily.
- Decursive supports magic charming affect removal for Shamans (Purge and Hex), Priests (Dispel Magic), Hunters (Tranquilizing Shot), and Warlocks (Fellhunter and Doomguards spells).
Don't waste time:
- Your cleansing spell Cooldown is displayed to maximize your dispel speed.
- An automatic blacklist will prevent you from loosing time on players who can't be dispelled. (player 'out of line of sight' for example).
- Decursive choose a logical cleansing order depending on your current position in the raid. (preventing dispel concurrence between players and thus 'nothing to dispel' messages)
React faster:
- Visual and/or auditive alerts when someone needs your attention and can be dispelled.
- Special sound alert when Unstable Affliction is detected and you're about to dispel it.
- Visual and auditive alert when your dispel attempts are resisted or fail.
Integration in any interface:
- Decursive is designed to save screen real estate and to be forgotten when not needed.
- Many options allow you to customize Decursive appearance and interface behavior.
- All Decursive alert colors can be modified making it suitable for color-blind people.
Highly optimized and effective coding:
- Decursive was developed with memory and CPU usage in mind, installing Decursive won't affect your frame rate even in the worst battle conditions.
- Bug free: bugs are not tolerated in Decursive.
In brief, what you get with Decursive is effectiveness, a player using Decursive will always dispel faster than other players.

Posted Aug 24, 2006Looks like Mind vision causes this 951 bug

Posted Aug 24, 2006I am getting the same 951 error message. It appears to be happening randomly. However, it might have something to do with the new cross-server BG grouping system. I noticed I would only get the error when I joined as group and then was placed into the pre-made group upon entering the BG. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Posted Aug 23, 2006I think I got the same bug. I got this error about 2-3 times in the BGs. But only when I got a little lag because of too many people attacking me or something like that. 10 or more people doing much action -> I sometimes got this error message. Don´t know what spell it was or if it was the big number of people casting spells and doing much, but only there i got this error message.
but great addon, really love it
sorry for my bad English

Posted Aug 22, 2006yep thanks :) Now I discovered that Tuhljin problem (no message in custom frame) is in fact a bug, a font issue.
So again, re-download Decursive at:
http://www.2072productions.com/?to=decursive.php
and tell me if decursive messages are properly displayed in the anchored message frame (when the option: "Print messages in the window" is checked)
thanks.

Try clicking on the "A" in the top right corner of the option window and move the anchor and also click the ^ and V button next to "Anchor".
@ Those who have the lua error:

Posted Aug 22, 2006Ah, I didn't see that. Or rather, I didn't understand that is what you meant by it. I'm trying it now. I must say I'm happy to see a lot of the improvements to positioning (which way the live-list and text-anchor messages display, etc.). I'm wondering though, when I hit the decurse key I have bound I don't get the "Nothing removed" message in the window, only in the chat log (unless I turn "Print messages in default chat" off). I have "Print messages in the window" enabled and also tried disabling it just in case.

Posted Aug 22, 2006if you are using 1.9.8 RC1, can you give me the content of the following file: \World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\_YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME_\_YOUR_SERVER_NAME_\_YOUR_CHARACTER_NAME_\SavedVariables\Decursive.lua it's the saved variable file for decursive, there is nothing private in it.

TO GET rid of this bug just uncheck the option "Print messages in default chat"@Tuhljin: LINE 31 of readme.txt:
/dcrshow ---> To show main Decursive window /dcrhide ---> To hide main Decursive window
Line 33 of WhatsNew.txt
- New command line and key binding: /dcrhide will hide Decursive window leaving the live-list visible
Something to say?

Posted Aug 22, 2006I've just downloaded the version you released today so I haven't tested that yet, and am currently unable to test it for a little while, but the notes don't indicate you've made this change. You keep saying "no list is shown" when there's nothing to decurse. Fine, no "list" is shown, but the little frame with the word "Decursive" (and version #, I believe), which you can move around by left-click-and-hold or lock-in-place/unlock with right-click is still there at all times unless you hide it (whether you use a keybinding or in another way). To me, unless I am moving the Decursive frame's position around or actually decursing myself or party/raid members, it is clutter on my screen and would like the option to have it automatically disappear and reappear.

Posted Aug 22, 2006Allowing for someone to click on a name among the list will automatically cast the "Remove Curse" spell to the affected member.
FOR THE THIRD TIME: you can already click on that **** list.
If no more names are on the list, the mod will simply hide the frame. Instead of hunting around for an assigned toggle key during a raid or Battleground this can free up my attention for other matters... very efficient.
FOR THE THIRD TIME: when there is nothing to decurse there is no list shown.
If right clicking the list brings up an options dialog, or whatever, I would like to have a feature where I can "lock" the list in place preventing the accidental dragging... most especially in the heat of the moment.
if you right click on "Decursive", it hides the buttons and it LOCKS the list.
Allowing for the Decursive list to be translucent can be very aesthetic and prevent me from having the view blocked from wherever I have the list placed on the screen, especially if the list hides and shows depending on conditions.
This may be available in the next version (depending on your ability to read README.TXT files)

Posted Aug 22, 2006I don't understand the need of this feature since you can already hide Decursive frame leaving the live-list displayed... (when the live-list is empty, you don't see it) So when there is no one to cure you have _nothing_ displayed.
If you want to quickly access Decursive frame or options, just use the new binding available or new macros.
Here is how I configured mine: [~] (the key just below the escape jey) ===> Decurse. [CTRL] + [~] ====> show decursive frame. [SHIFT] + [~] ====> Show Decursive option panel.
REMEMBER that hiding or showing the live list is now an option.
@sarnac:
Yep it's possible but it will be for the next version ;)

Posted Aug 22, 2006I have a feature request which I think is what Spiderkeg was trying to describe earlier.
Basically, we would like an option that makes it so that when there is no debuff listed by Decursive that the player can remove, the Decursive frame disappears. It could fade out or simply vanish all at once - whatever you like - but when a new debuff is placed on yourself/your party/your raid that you can remove, the frame reappears instantly. You could turn this "Automatic Hide" option on or off in the Decursive options page. The slash command /dcshow and keybindings that make the frame appear would still make the frame appear whether this option was on or not and could force the frame to stay visible for about 30 seconds, after which time it disappears again if "Automatically Hide Frame" is enabled.
This feature would be greatly helpful in reducing clutter and I for one would be extremely pleased! Thanks. -Tj
