Introduction

AlertMe is a World of Warcraft Classic addon, mainly directed towards PvP. It offers a variety of alerts:

  • sounds
  • progress bars
  • text displayed in a scrolling text frame
  • text displayed in chat frames (for yourself only)
  • chat messages to friendly players

...which can currently be tied to various combat log events.

This allows you to:

  • detect certain buffs and debuffs and their remaining durations
  • monitor dispels
  • realize when certain spells are being cast or have been cast successfully
  • trace interrupts and resulting spell lockouts

...on anyone within combatlog range!* Since World of Warcraft Classic isn't giving away this information very easily, there are several mechanics in place, which will estimate missing parts as good as possible.

*NPCs also possible, but not the main focus of this addon at this point.

The addon comes with a package of around 100 pvp relevant text-to-speech sounds, which can of course be extended by your own sounds, using LibSharedMedia. A pre-defined profile with example alerts can be used as reference.
