AlertMe is a World of Warcraft Classic addon, mainly directed to PvPers. It offers a variety of alerts:
- text as in chat messages (for you and/or friendly players)
- a scrollling text frame
- sounds
- progress bars
which can currently be tied to various combat log events, such as:
- auras gained/refreshed
- auras (& spells) dispelled
- spell cast start
- spell cast success
- spell interrupts (with lockout info)
The sources of these events can be enemy or friendly players* around you, meaning in combat log range. On the contrary to other addons, that doesn't necessarily require you to have those players in target or in your party/raid. Since World of Warcraft Classic isn't giving away this information very easily, there are several mechanics in place, which will estimate missing information as good as possible. The motto here being: An incorrect alert is better than none. Incorrect meaning the exact remaining duration of an enemy aura, for example.
*NPCs currently possible, but not the main focus of this addon at this point.
The addon comes with a pack of around 100 pvp relevant text-to-speech sound alerts which can of course be extended by your own sounds with LibSharedMedia. A pre defined profile with example alerts can be used as reference.
