MagicMarker

Table of Contents

Addon Description
Magic Marker lets you easily classify and mark mobs simply by moving the mouse over them while pressing a modifier key. This allows incredibly fast marking of trash groups. Although not necessary for the addon to function, you can configure the priority and crowd control methods you wish to use on a per mob basis. You can also customize the marks to use for tank targets and each crowd control method. This allows for consistent marking of targets to tank and crowd control in raid and party situations

Features

Mob-level configuration to specify the priority, desired category (i.e Tank or Crowd Control) and applicable crowd control methods.
Automatically learns new crowd control methods as they are discovered.
Prioritize raid icon configuration for tank targets and all crowd control methods.
Prioritize crowd control methods.
Separate priorities for crowd controlling and tanking (optional).
Marks targets in priority order simply my mousing over them.
Automatically learn about new mobs as you encounter them.
Ability to unmark and mark targets manually at the press of a button.
Ability to ignore mobs you don't want to mark.
Never use more raid icons for a specific CC method than there are members of the class in the raid/party (i.e if there are two mages in the raid, there will never be more than 2 targets marked for sheeping).
Option to honor externally marked targets (i.e if someone manually marked a target MagicMarker won't clobber it).
Option to preserve marks on the raid members.
Ability to save a template of the marks on the raid and recall them (not persistant).
Ability to mark members of the raid based on some preset rules.
Full fledged dynamically generated UI to configure all the details (while using minimal amount of memory).
Network syncing for marking, unmarking and sharing of the mob database and mark/cc settings.
Clears used marks when mob dies.
Send a list of marks, mob name and kill/cc method to the raid / party chat channel.
Keybindings to manipulate mob configuration (priorities, category) without opening the mob database, makes initial configuration and adjustments easier.
Ability to select minimum number of mobs to always mark as tank targets.
Ability to import data from MagicMarker_Data (included in the package).

Two issues with this addon:

1) Since 3.3 anyone can mark but this addon does not allow you to assign marks to mobs if you are not the party leader.
2) The addon seems to mark just by targetting a mob now instead of just by using the smart mark modifier, which is a problem when I need to mark specific mobs and I happen to target the wrong one.

1) should be fixed in r159.
2) That's a per-zone setting. Go in the Mob Database, select the zone and there's a flag "enable auto-marking on target change". It's not a global setting though.

hi, am i right in saying the mob database on a fresh install is empty then it should learn as you do the instances? if thats the case ive done toc normal about 20 times since i installed this and there is still nothing in the db? it says enabled when i enter the instance but seems to do nothing, do i have to be the tank for it to learn? thanks for any help as this sounds like it will be awesome.

When you enter an instance.. mouseover a mob and you should see a message saying that it has been found and added to the instances DB.. however if you don't go into config and assign it to a priority before you log out of the game, it will be whiped.

Any way to allow this to mark when you are not the leader now? people seem unwilling to pass leader over now.

The 3.3 patch has made it so that in 5 man groups, anyone in the group can mark.. but the addon doesn't reflect this.

There seems to be an issue with this addon in ToC 5 man. After running it twice the addon stopped putting up marks on any targets. I tried reseting raid markings several times, but after that it would still only set the first mark and none of the rest. Not sure why this happened, no errors on screen at the time. Great addon tho, thanks for it.

I've been getting an incredible number of these errors after patch 3.2 came out, both inside instances and out. I've had to disable the addon as a result. Any thoughts? I've had at least one weird stack overflow problem (I had to disable QuestFu to get IceHUD to work), so I suspect that here.

I should add that I can just disable event handling. I don't need to disable the whole addon to prevent the errors.

Are you running disembedded? I just tried with the latest version and get no errors so either you're using an old version or you're somehow missing Libs/MagicComm.

I auto-updated with the curse client to the most recent version. Libs/MagicComm has 3 files: CCSpellIDs.lua, lib.xml, MagicComm.lua. I'll try deleting the addon and re-installing manually to see if anything changes.

All I can say is that I ran a bare UI with only MagicMarker in there and it appears to work fine.

Ok, I've fixed it. I tried doing a variety of things (deleting and re-installing, clearing the cache, etc.).

What ultimately fixed it was just deleting the corresponding SavedVariables file and starting from scratch.

I'm going to go cry for a while (I had a pretty awesome database going on), and then when I get over it, I'll finish re-customizing my settings. Thanks for taking a look at my critwall of text (and of course, for the addon).

Thanks for taking a look. I guess my database just didn't cross over correctly. But it works now.
