Proximo
PLEASE NOTE: the cast bars in 2.1 are only 100% accurate for your target and focus. For other enemies, they are only approximations based on combat log events.
What is it? - Simple enemy unit frames for Arena matches used for identifying and coordinating targets
Features:
With 2.0 most of the previous features are still present, and some new ones have been added.
Race icons added, some buff/debuff tracking, grow direction, more announcements, talent spec inspection removed, and more.
Proximo's new features include allowing for bindings on Mouse3,4,5. This is something long requested, and can be seen here in the menu.
- Unit tracking via mouse over, target, party targets, death messages, name plate updates, and optional syncing between all teammates
- Main Assist setting and syncing, shown by yellow outline on current Main Assist target.
- Optional New Enemy and Low Health announcements via Chat, Party, RaidWarning, SCT, or MSBT.
- Optional Focus setting via right click.
- Optional Mana bars.
- Optional Party Targets.
- Optional Talent Display
- Minor frame customizations: size, font, texture, header, etc...
For Spells, give the spell name just like you would in a macro. Example: Dispel, Dispel(Rank 1)
For Macros, use ; to break lines and *t to insert the targets name. Example: /target *t;/cast Dispel
Where did it come from? - After using ArenaMaster for a long time, I decided to make my own Arena based mod based some some ideas from myself and friends.
How do I use it? - Unzip Proximo into your interface\addons directory. For more info on installing, please read install.txt. Type /prox test to see a test frame when not in arena. Alt+left click header to move. Right click header for options.
What happens if an enemy is first seen after combat starts? - They will still be shown and synced, however you will not be able to target them by clicking on their bar. This will be designated with **'s around their name (ex. ** Grayhoof ** ).
Support Please post all errors and suggestions on http://grayhoof.wowinterface.com/ using the provided forms.
I love how proximo tells you the spec of your opponents, that feature is extremely useful. One big improvement though would be to have the option to display that spec in words for example, enhancement, marksman, resto etc.
Thanks for the quality mod.
I'd really like to see it announce the target's spec in chat when it does the class anounce mouse over thing. Like when you mouse over someone and it announces their name and classin party I'd like to see it have their spec numbers listed as well.
Great mod, 2 small includes would be mega helpful:
1. Checkbox to disable names. In the arena i could care less what the noob's name is, i just need to know his class. The name is usually just in the way.
2. Color picker for classes, i.e. so i can custom define the color of a shaman's health bar. Rogues will be colored hot pink, consequently the color for little pansy girls.
I keep getting the error:
lua:460: attempt to call method 'SetTimeVisible' (a nil value)
when I show the test box or find a new player in an arena :|
HELP:: How can I apply this addon to world PvP. If I go into arena with my main it will stay active and allow me to use it outside of the arena. However, since my warlock isnt level 70 I cant use that trick. As a warlock it would be nice to see all of my hostile targets in a group type window for quick target swapping (To avoid bugged TAB targeting) for blanket dotting. If there is another mod, or if I can use this mod for that purpose please let me know.
If the hunter call your pet as the same nick as himself, proximo will target the pet instead the hunter.
Could this issue be fixed in next version?
i don't believe it's possible to fix this. i hate this problem too, but the fact that players are allowed to name their pet the same as a player makes it so that there are two units in targeting range that have the same name. the script system reacts by targeting the closer target that has the given name.
I am having an issue.
The very first arena game I play with any character does not make the Proximo frame appear. It appears only as I leave the first arena game. To be clear, the window appears in the correct place. It just won't appear at the start of the first game. Every subsequent game is fine.
This is a disadvantage. And unlike Arena Master, there is no command to make the window appear.
Great addon, untill it for some reason started acting weird.
I've always used the latest version from files.wowace but the last couple of weeks I've had the problem of the everything working ok, as long as I am not in an actual arena.
As soon as an arena game starts, the proximo window hides and doesn't reapper untill after I exit the arena...
I've also experienced it working in my first arena game, and then not work in the rest of the games that day.
Now, I haven't tried making a macro with the line given in the info above because I'm of the opinion that an addon should work without me need to use extra macros and such, especially when there are other addons that fill my demand just as easy and don't have this problem (gladiator). My friends prefer Proximo, though, so if you could fix the problem I might actually start using the addon again for sending targeting data to each others, but right now I'm forced to use Gladiator instead cause that works for me, while Proximo doesn't.
i tried to "/proximo test" and it doesnt show up the sample unit frame
PLEASE NOTE: If your window is missing or acting funny in 1.3, please type (copy and paste) in this one time command and then reload your UI:
/script Proximo.db.profile.x=0; Proximo.db.profile.y=0;
I had this problem I had to delete proximo.lua from the saved variables foler.
The upload of 1.3 to curse got bugged for some reason. I have deleted the bugged one and re-uploaded 1.3 to Proximo, it should now be available for download here at Curse also.
Proximo 1.3 fixes the frame resetting issues. The version is on:
http://files.wowace.com/Proximo/ (oct. 9)
For what ever reason it isn't on Curse yet. Awesome work Grayhoof!
THIS SUCKS.
it would be pretty good if we can friggn shift left/right click proximo background to move the frame, or at least a reset command, but rite now its stuck in there, top left corner, i am spamming trade chat how to fix this but no replies
um read? you need to click alt and click on the tittle bar. the maker of the addon answers your question right above.
Proximo kept resetting position to where i could barely see it, now i can't see it anywhere, i've uninstalled it and all of its files and tried it again.. still can't see it.
how do u move this thing lol =/
Having the same problem as Emort. I can even type /proximo have teh commands listing..but they dont work. Window doenst pop at all.
I can't load Proximo, no errors, installed correct, it just don't load. The /Proximo dosnet work ether( WoW does not recognise the slash command) any ideas?
