RangeDisplay

Table of Contents

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).

In reply to kyrosftw: Yeah, my RangeDisplay randomly works sometimes I have found. I left it enabled for the last week just to see, but it definitely doesn't work properly all the time. Even when it does work, it doesn't seem to be respecting the Position values I have configured.

Out of curiosity: is it hard for addon makers to update what version the game is for? This was updated 2 days ago; but still says it's for version 9.0.5; a version of the game from at least a year ago [or possibly more?]

This isn't the only mod to do this; nut I wonder why they don't update the game version to newest one if the addon has been updated.

In reply to JDM12983:

Hello,

I no longer play WoW, but try to keep some of my mods working as far as I could. So far I relied on #wowace to get notified of new TOC versions but apparently that channel sorta died out ;) I've now read up on the recent changes and it seems that multiple TOC versions are supported now (for retail, Vanilla, TBC, etc). I'll update the versions based on that soonish
