RangeDisplay
Estimated range display. Type /rangedisplay for configuration or /rangedisplay locked to lock/unlock the frames.
RangeDisplay is a simple range display addon. It is using spell range, item range and interact-distance based checks to determine the approximate range to your current target. Due to the whackyness of interact-distance based checks, recent versions only use those when spell/item based checks are not possible . The display can be configured in many ways (displaying only the max range, adding border and background, etc).
Currently you can set up RangeDisplay to show your current range to your target, focus, pet and mouseover units. The mouseover unit range can be anchored to the mouse or placed at a fixed position.
New in v3.8.0: It is possible to add sound notifications to "range sections" (similar to color setting). The sound will be played when entering the section. If two sections have the same sound file attached to them, then the sound is not played again if switching between the two sections.
This sound notification is enabled by default for the target unit's close range section.
Displaying max range only: if you want to display only the maxRange, you need to set Text to "%d" and tick the Reverse option for the section(s).

Posted Apr 16, 2009Creating a bar-based display wouldn't be that hard (the actual range checking is done via LibRangeCheck-2.0 library, so RangeDisplay is only doing the display part), but I don't have time (or even an wow account) to do it now. Try finding some volunteer on #wowace on freenode, or the wowace forums.

Posted Apr 6, 2009is it possible to make this addons to track party members range. Would be especially helpful for healers who dragged out the whole raid member. Just put the little distance numbers at the end of party bar and make it green if its in range, red if its out of range. Would save 1 sec or 2 secs for the healers who tried to heal out of range member.

Posted Apr 6, 2009Indeed there are many addons that do this for party frames, and do this with a lot less computing (they only need to check the heal range, not all the possible ranges for a more accurate range estimate), so I don't think it's worth implementing it in RangeDisplay.

Posted Feb 9, 2009Hi,
I've applied your changes and re-packaged range-display. Please try the r211 alpha build, and report back if it works or not.
thanks

Posted Dec 29, 2008It would be possible, but I think it wouldn't be as useful as you may think (preparing for combat is just as important as actually being in combat as reported by the game). In any case, I stopped playing WoW for a while, so you'd have to wait a bit for this feature :) (or try to find someone on #wowace to implement it for you).
cheers,

Posted Nov 12, 2008Are all settings lost, or just frame positions?
What other addons are you using?

Posted Nov 12, 2008If I adjust anything after that, regardless of whether I've got frames locked or not, they'll become reset to their default positions.
The only other mods I'm running are AtlasLoot and QuestHelper.

Posted Nov 13, 2008I've just tested the latest download (only loaded RangeDisplay) and I couldn't reproduce your problem. Are you logging back to the same character? By default each character has its own profile, so each one will start from scratch. You can copy settings from another profile from the "Profiles" section in the configuration, if this is the case.
cheers,
