MagicMarker
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).

Sorry for long delay. IT was using incorrect retail data for CC Spells. This is now fixed/updated and should work again.

Posted Jan 13, 2020If you download the addon and install it manually, it'll work in classic.
I still haven't gotten around of doing multi-release packaging, but do want to get that done. I think some of the crowd control timers might be off, since it has changed over time so that's some work that needs to be done, but overall it's working fine.
It also works with addons like Magic Targets (same deal there, need to download the retail version) and Button Bin (again, same thing, retail version works) or other LDB containers.

Could we add a key binding so I can hold down a different key and mouseover targets to quickly clear the marks?

Posted Sep 30, 2019Is it possible to be updated for WoW Classic?

Posted Sep 30, 2019Actually, I think it'd be a lot better suited for classic - no one would really use this for live WoW because no one CC's or marks targets or anything.
It's still broken for retail as well, so I'll spend more time on trying to fix it in general

Looking good on Classic. Glad to see you in there fixing these things; I was dreading doing it myself. If there's anyt testing I can help with just mention it. I may not be adept at Ace stuff (or Lua in general), but I am a professional programmer willing to help however I can. I need this as a MT.

Posted Oct 2, 2019Should be good just to test it - I fixed an issue which only showed up in a group (on retail but the code should afaik be the same on Classic), and I can't test that by myself in Classic with just one (paid) account. Currently fixes are in Alpha and I haven't made a release that automatically works for classic yet (i.e in curse client).

In Classic I can't get the Smart marking modifier key to work (manually marking the selected target works).

Posted Sep 24, 2012Been running this addon since BC and since the 5.0.4 update (1.0.193) the main window of the Raid Target Settings and Crowd Control Priority tabs are both blank (and as a result the addon doesn't mark anything). I've tried deleting my saved variables (and resetting the profile) for the addon but that doesn't seem to correct the issue, any suggestions?
