ArenaMaster
This addon helps you to identify what are the classes of your opponents in arenas. This is some kind of Score frame replacement for arenas, since the blizzard one is only available at the end of the arena. Simply target or mouseover an enemy while inside of an arena adds his class and name to a draggable and resizable frame. The class and names are colored with the class associated color (druid=orange, priest=white etc). Of course you cannot detect who are your opponents before the arena starts. Also, when an enemy dies, his name is greyed, and recolored if detected alive later (FD, resurrection, ...)
Infos are shared and synced to other users of this addon using the addon channel.
Click on a name in the frame to target that enemy.
To move the frame, alt+drag it.
ahhh I love you athou. this thing was driving me crazy today. tried to fix it myself, but lets just say that didnt work out to well.
thanks for the update!
Updated for 2.1
Hello Athou. So i was on my second week using this addon, and i downloaded a new unitframe+actionbar addons, and this package i downloaded had it all.
But when everything was installed it didnt pop in arena, which made us loose to some random guys, because im a shadowpriest at 2k rating that needs a UI to let me dispel the enemys quickly. No matter what i did /am show, /am active didnt work. And everytime i left an arena is was /am show off again, (just wanna add, i havnt seen the arena master window since i installed the new UI)
Anything youve experienced?
How do you get rid of the black background and make it so theres no background like the screenshot shows?
Very good Addon!!!
Only one problem: When I drag it to take it to another position it disapears and I don't know how to get it back. Is there a reset function or so?
When i load into arena, i can target usualy only first 1-2 seconds, then this capabilty is gone. But as i seen last weeks, your addon loads up (at least addon window pops up) only 3-5 seconds after i load into arena. Maybe that's why it's unable to capture targets, that i seen in first second?
Maybe you can make your addon feature, that i can load it up manualy at all times, even standing in Shattrah City near arena master? For those who don't want such thing, they can use it old way, that it loads up few seconds after you got into arena.
Birthmark : alt+drag to move the frame, and use Niagara or DeuceCommander to setup Ace2 addons (http://files.wowace.com)
Yeoman: Don't know, should have worked
Yesterday installed addon, gone into arena as soon as popped up invite button. I always try to TAB when enter arena, sometimes it's possible to TAB trough opponents (when entering are, sight distance is a lot further away), and i gone trough 3 oponents with TAB (i have TAB targeting distance 500 yards, not default blizz one), but your addon showed just 1 opponent.
Why it's missed 2 others? Got high hopes for this addon before installing (friend recommended), but now quite disappointed. :)
Dude you totally screwed up your mod. Arenamaster was so leet. It was one of my favorite addons ever. It was so easy to use and setup as compared to all other addons.
All I had to do was click on it and drag it around my screen to put it where I wanted it. And all I had to do to make the background transparent was to right click it and the options were right there and easy to use.
Now... I just downloaded the newer version and the stupid thing is stuck in the middle of my screen. i can't move it and I can't adjust it's transperacy.
Now I have to use those / commands to adjust it. Why did you change it to / commands? I hate that. And the options don't even make sense. I don't see a single direction telling me how to unlock this thing so I can move it around my screen.
Not only that, but it creates tons of error messages now.
Please put your mod back to the way it used to be.

Move the frame to the top left corner before changing the scale, it's a bug and I'm trying to fix it
hey Athou its a nice mod :P im using it myself and it really helps alot... oh and one thing more... in that picture you have posted so we can see the arenamaster thing.. what health/mana addon is it ur using? i have been looking for that one for months but still nothing... if you could giv me a link for it i would appreciate it much :P and ofc be grateful.... or just say the name of the homepage to download it and what the name of it is plz ^^ i MUST know it hehe coz its so cool blue mana and grey hp ^^ cool! tell me plz ^^
New version : - TabletLib dropped and the frame has been written from scratch - Alt+drag to move the frame - the [x] symbol appears in front of enemies detected while in combat, and thus cannot be targeted via the liveframe yet - Dummy enemies to ease configuration - esES loc
When I change the scale on the new version, the addon window just disappears. I can only get it to display with scale 0.1 which is unusable. I also had a hard time figuring out how to drag it, had to come to this forum. It used to be a lot more useful, but now I can't do anything with it at all and have disabled it.
For a similar mod with a larger clickable surface you can try my mod: http://www-en.curse-gaming.com/files/details/7080/arena-live-frames/
I'm sure each have their advantages, give them both a try and see which you prefer.
I really don't would like this to be a very complex addon, but switching the target button with the bar would be nice indeed.
Also, I noticed some scaling issues with the target button.
Good add-on.
Mr Athou, I'm sure that you can improve it and make it indispensable. Here are some ideas I'd really like you to add : - Spell cast : show on each enemy bar a spell cast bar. It would be very efficient to counter a polymorph/cyclone for exemple. - Invert the little target bouton with the bar : it is often difficult to target a enemy, so in my opinion, we need more to target easily an ennemy than to link the enemy description upon /bg. Most teams are using TS for targetting. Read the chat is too slow. So what I want : click on the mage bar and then target the mage. - You should show the target of every 'bars' (enemy players). It would give a great fight global view.
With these 3 features, your add-on should become a real must have imo.
BTW, thank you a lot for your job.
