Azerloot 2.5.3 - Hotfix

A quick fix for the game's engine update of 25 October.

🩹 Fixes

• The book is whole again: its cover, its pages, the top bar and the settings window's leather were missing since the game's engine update. The game no longer loads addon pictures larger than 512 pixels on a side, so Azerloot now draws them from smaller pieces, as sharp as before.
• The Azeroth Survivors Discord link in the readme points to the game's new invite.

⬆️ Updating

• lazyaddons: press u, then Enter. New here? Press a, paste https://github.com/Kindagrey/azerloot and pick release tracking.
• By hand: download Azerloot-2.5.3.zip below (not "Source code") and unpack it into benilla-config\AddOns, beside AzerothSurvivors.exe. It holds one folder, Azerloot, which replaces your old one. Your builds, wishlist, collection, chronicle and settings are kept.
• Unpack it with WinRAR, 7-Zip or a similar tool, never with Windows' own "Extract All": that puts it into an extra folder named after the zip (Azerloot-2.5.3\Azerloot), and the game can't load it from there. The folder in AddOns must be named exactly Azerloot.
• Restart the game fully (not just /reload): there are new pictures.

Azerloot 2.5.2 – Your Own Starting Spell

Your own starting spell in a build, a boss page that explains itself, and warning sounds you can rely on.

🛠️ Builds

• Rogue, Priest, Mage and Druid: click the starting spell in a build to choose the one a talent starts your run with instead: Backstab (Shadow Dance), Shadow Word: Pain (Shadowy Apparitions), Arcane Missiles (Arcane Power), Frostbolt (Summon Water Elemental) or Shred (Cat Form / Dire Bear Form). Its tooltip names the talents.
• With another starting spell, your class's usual one can go in one of the other five places.
• Shared build codes keep the starting spell. Older versions of Azerloot simply start such a build with the usual one.

⚔️ Boss pages

• The stats now read "Stats (solo)": they are one hero's. In co-op a boss has more health, sized to the heroes still standing.
• Hover Health, Hit, Speed or Spawns for what each one means.

🔔 Azerwarn

• Every sound now plays from its own file, Auction house and Invitation too. Played by their names, the game could lose them in a busy fight.
• A warning that finds no room on the screen still plays its sound.

📋 Wishlist window

• At a new run's start, the choice of your builds shows at once, instead of your last build flashing up first.
• A window on the right half of the screen is now kept from the right edge, so a change of the game's UI scale no longer sends it to the left.

⬆️ Updating

Azerloot 2.5.1 – Ready for Co-op

Ready for co-op, and for the game's latest changes.

🤝 Co-op

• Azerwarn calls out a friend who is down by their name, in the big place, with a sound of its own: "Anna is down!", and what to do under it. Being down yourself and getting back on your feet are told too.
• While you bring a friend back, Azerwarn shows how far it has come ("Bringing Anna back: 45%"), and the same while a friend brings you back.
• A new sound in Settings → Azerwarn → Sounds: "Hero down (co-op)".
• The chronicle shows a co-op run's Party DPS in its summary, in a place of its own beside the others, with "Co-op" beside the zone. Hover it for every hero in their class colour, their DPS, their share and the spell that dealt the most.
• A hero who is down while the party fights on is no longer counted as a lost run: the chronicle waits until the game says the run is over, and a friend bringing you back keeps the same run going.

⚔️ Game update

• Bloodlord Mandokir's Threatening Gaze is gone from his boss page, as it is from his fight.
• The game's own words read anew in every language, with everything new for co-op.

📦 Installation

• The game now keeps its addons in the benilla-config\AddOns folder beside AzerothSurvivors.exe; the instructions say so.

⬆️ Updating

• lazyaddons: press u, then Enter. New here? Press a, paste https://github.com/Kindagrey/azerloot and pick release tracking.
• By hand: download Azerloot-2.5.1.zip below and replace your Azerloot folder. Your builds, wishlist, collection, chronicle and settings are kept.
• Restart the game fully (not just /reload).

Azerloot 2.5.0 – Settings, a New Look & Azerwarn Grown Up

Introducing the Settings window, a new look for the whole book, and Azerwarn grown up: a third warning place, your own colours, fonts and many more sounds.

⭐ Big changes
⚙️ Introducing the Settings window

• One window for every setting, in three tabs: Book, Wishlist and Azerwarn.
• Every setting has a live, animated preview beside it: the book grows to its size, the words write themselves in the font you pick, the wishlist window slides, darkens and resizes, the warnings flare in their colours, the sounds play with waves of light.
• Opened from the gear in the book, it stands fixed over the book, which steps back into a soft dark; the chapter tabs rest meanwhile. Opened from the minimap button (right-click) or /azl settings, it can be moved freely and keeps its place.
• A language or the original fonts wait for "Apply and reload".

🔔 Azerwarn, grown up

• A third place, in orange, for guardians coming or slain and the waves (swarms, stampedes, walls of foes). Boss warnings stay red, small notices green.
• Your own colour for each of the three places: red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, purple, pink or white.
• The warnings' own font: like the book's, or any of the others.
• Every warning fades in and out softly.
• Guardians waking, lairs about to fill and a guardian reclaiming its lair are called out.
• Endless mode: the next boss's timer and its 10-second warning.
• More sounds, soft and loud, all from the game's own files: Whisper, Friend online, Quest update, Map ping, Raid warning, Ready check, Auction house, Invitation, Flag taken, Battle alarm and War drums (or Off). Set one for "Boss appears in 10 sec." and one for "Phase change".

🎨 A new look

• A sharper red leather cover, new parchment pages (a different sheet on the left and the right), new pictures for the jewelry chapters.
• Leather in place of wood on the buttons, banners and cards.
• Class names in the collection in the colour of their class.
• A new search box with a gold magnifier; a click anywhere else lets go of it.
• Gold gear and close buttons in the same style.

💎 Game update of 22 October

• Star of Mystaria is a trinket now, with its new icon and its values at every rarity: from +21% max health and +3.4% damage reduction (Common) to +48% and +7.6% (Legendary), growing further when picked again.
• Builds that wore the Star as their amulet now wear it as a trinket. If both trinket places were already taken, it leaves that build and the amulet place is free again.
• Old share codes still work: a Star in them arrives as a trinket, every other amulet stays the same.
• Demonic Empowerment: your demons deal 40% more damage for 8 sec.
• The Legionlord's Medallion now works like The Eternal Talisman: Demonic Empowerment lasts twice as long, comes back 35% sooner and is twice as strong.
• Soul Fire is now Soulfire. Every spell, talent and tooltip read anew from the game in every language, with the new warrior talents Trauma and Bloodlust and the warlock changes.

🔧 Smaller changes

• Boss pages: the picked attack's note is now red.
• Wishlist window: the boss line sits under a run's choice of a build again; the choice stays open through a level-up and a pause.
• Azerloot is now © Kindagrey, all rights reserved: free to use, but not to change or republish without permission (see LICENSE.txt).

🩹 Fixes

• Wishlist window: no more empty line under a name that just fits on one line.
• Dark ink on the pages no longer shows a white rim.

⬆️ Updating

• lazyaddons: press u, then Enter. New here? Press a, paste https://github.com/Kindagrey/azerloot and pick release tracking.
• By hand: download Azerloot-2.5.0.zip below and replace your Azerloot folder. Your builds, wishlist, collection, chronicle and settings are kept.
• Restart the game fully (not just /reload): there are new pictures.

Azerloot 2.3.1 - Hotfix

A small fix for the wishlist window.

🩹 Fixes

• The wishlist window could jump between two layouts every second: a jewelry name that wraps onto a second line sometimes got room for one line only, and the lines under it slid up into it. Row heights are now worked out from the text itself, so they stay the same on every refresh. Fixed.
• A wishlist window that is just too long for the screen no longer swings between two sizes. It shrinks once and only grows back when the list or the screen changes.
• The green lines under jewelry and spells now wrap at the window's own width when you have resized it.

Azerloot 2.3.0 – Introducing Azerwarn

Introducing Azerwarn: boss warnings in your game's language, the next boss in your wishlist window, and a layout you place with one Shift-click.

⭐ Big changes
🔔 Introducing Azerwarn

• Big words in the middle of the screen when a boss comes in 10 seconds, arrives, enters a new phase or is defeated, and when the game calls a stampede, a pack, a swarm or a guardian.
• Runes, magnets, caches and achievements get a smaller place of their own, in green, so they never cover a boss warning. Boss warnings are in red.
• Azerwarn takes over the game's own banners and says the same things more briefly, in the game's language (even if the book reads in another one). Boss yells stay out of it.
• A sound for a boss in 10 seconds and for a boss's phase change only. Pick each one in Settings → Azerwarn: Raid warning, Ready check, Auction house, Invitation, Map ping, or Off.
• Settings → Azerwarn switches the warnings and the boss line in the wishlist window on and off separately.

📋 The next boss in your wishlist window

• A line under the window's head shows the next boss and its timer. The timer turns from yellow through orange to red and pulses as the boss draws near.
• Once the boss is alive, the line shows its health as a bar, with marks where it changes phase. Hover for its attacks, click to open its page.
• Long boss names are shortened (Next boss: Mograine) instead of wrapping.
• The timer keeps running correctly after a /reload or a language change, and stands still while the run is paused.

🖱️ Shift-click the minimap button to place everything

• Shift-click the minimap button (or /azl layout): the wishlist window unlocks, and both warning places show an example you can drag.
• The mouse wheel over a warning example makes it larger or smaller. Right-click puts it back in its first place and size.
• Shift-click again, or click an example, when done. The wishlist window gets its lock back.
• The minimap button now starts on the left, just above the game's damage meter button, and can no longer be switched off.

⚔️ Bosses updated for the game's latest updates

• All boss attacks read anew: knockbacks, eggs, wards, shields, orbs, tethers, gazes, shockwaves, burning ground, lanes, bombs, meteors, crystals and stances.
• Entangling Roots are gone from the bosses, as in the game.
• Boots: movement speed ×2.5 on all 54 pieces, as in the game.
• Boss pages: the picked attack stands out as a note with a violet edge, and shows how often it comes ("Every 4.5 sec.").
• No two look-alike attack icons on one boss page any more (C'Thun, Lokholar, Sapphiron, Azuregos, Kel'Thuzad).

🔧 Smaller changes

• Wishlist window:
  • When a new run starts, the build choice stands alone. The lists come once a build is picked, the choice is closed, or two minutes have passed.
  • The build's progress bar shows just the count (2/11), centred.
  • The Level Up! button is a little smaller.
• Demonic Empowerment has its own line in the book, with its name and amulet in every language.
• The Legionlord's Medallion uses the game's own Spanish and Portuguese names.
• Settings: Off is shown in red.

🩹 Fixes

• Long loot names in the wishlist window reached up into the section heading. Fixed.

⬆️ Updating

• lazyaddons: press u, then Enter. New here? Press a, paste https://github.com/Kindagrey/azerloot and pick release tracking.
• By hand: download Azerloot-2.3.0.zip below and replace your Azerloot folder. Your builds, wishlist, collection, chronicle and settings are kept.
• Restart the game fully (not just /reload).
• /azl minimap is gone. The minimap button always stays.

Azerloot 2.2 – Know Your Foe

Every boss attack read from the game itself, a wishlist window you shape yourself, and patch 0.106.

⭐ Big changes

⚔️ Know your foe

• Every boss now shows all its attacks, not just one, as a row of icons under Dangers. Shape, size, warning time and cooldown are read from the game's own code: a 40 yd cross aimed at you, a ring from 6 to 16 yd, a circle that follows you for 2 sec, and so on.
• Hover an icon for the full description. Click it to show it on the page. The hardest-hitting attack shows first, framed in gold.
• When it is wounded tells what a boss does at which health: new attacks, helpers, and where to stand when the safe circles appear (Blood Siphon, Detonate Mana, Frost Breath).
• All 60 bosses updated for game patch 0.106, with new attacks, names and icons.

📋 The wishlist window is yours

• Shift-right-click takes an entry off your wishlist. Right-click a section heading twice clears the whole section. A click on a heading folds it away.
• Click the window's head to pick a build at any time, not only at the start of a run.
• Taking parts of a loaded build off the wishlist unloads the build. The window's head, the Chronicle and "Load into wishlist" all follow.
• Locked during a run, clicks go through the window to the game. Its headings still fold.
• New Wishlist size setting (60–140%), for example for 1080p screens. A long list still shrinks to fit below the window.

🔮 Warlock: Demonic Empowerment

• The new spell with its description, and its class amulet The Legionlord's Medallion with its exact values from the game.

🔧 Smaller changes

• Chronicle:
  • New personal best: Highest DPS.
  • Damage now counts without overkill, as the game does since 0.106. Records from older runs stay as they are.
• Chronicle: item icons have a soft shadow, like on the Builds page.
• Wishlist window:
  • It keeps its place and no longer jumps when a run starts or the build choice appears.
  • Long lines wrap fully.
• Wishlist window:
  • Jewelry effects are shortened in every language, with the game's full text in the tooltip.
  • Boss loot you collected leaves the wishlist at the next run.
• Boss pages: shorter descriptions that fit the page in every language. Attack names are translated.
• Settings: grouped into Book and Wishlist window.
• Translations: the Builds page buttons and the Collection Book hint fit in every language.

🩹 Fixes

• "Loaded" stayed green on the Builds page after the wishlist had changed. Fixed.
• A setting's name ran into its percentage. Fixed.

⬆️ Updating
