Change Log:
--------------------
1.4d:
+ Trying to fix a resolution issue, where the dialog did not show on some type of screens.
1.4c:
+ Should finally be fully compatible with patch 4.3!
+ Updated the code once more, hopefully increased performance by a little, less memory used, better detection.
+ Note that sometimes server shows CtA for a second, then hides it. But it appears on the popup, so it can cause confusion, but only when it's just around the "maybe we need, maybe we don't need this role for CtA" situations that this happens. I will look into fixing this annoyance if it's a big issue this patch.
1.4b:
+ Ninja update, should now properly show when CtA is detected.
1.4:
+ Fixed minor error with nil value, should no longer occur.
+ Included the new heroics to be checked, not only the old once.
1.3:
+ TOC bump to 40300.
+ Fixed error and addon will work once more.
1.2:
+ It will properly update when new roles are available, for now it will alert at role changes and not only when new roles are available. Expect in 1.3 that the alerts popup only when new roles are available, now it will alert at role changes and as long there is a CtA available to queue as.
1.1:
+ Attempting to ease on performance and make the popup show itself correctly, had some issues where it didn't show at all despite CtA roles were updated.
Description:
--------------------
One thing that bugged me with the new Call to Arms is that as a Healer you kind of never knew when you would benefit from doing a random dungeon, on my realm it's kind of up and down.
So I made a simple addon to keep track and notify when new roles and dungeons are available for Call to Arms.
Also I am experimenting with animation widgets, I believe there is a issue with the animation system in 4.1 so that's probably why you too will experience some odd behavior when showing the popup.
There are 3 options on the top of the .lua file you can change, they can be either true or false.
"showAllRoles" when true will show all roles, even those the class can not perform. This way you on your Rogue will know when healers are needed so you can log your healer to help out. If set to false only roles you select specifically in the LFD window will be shown.
"playSound" when set to true will play the "ready check" sound.
"sweepSpeed" is a number value, default it's 3 seconds so the addon updates each 3 seconds, but you can set it to what ever you like if you wish.
I have not gotten to test this enough but it works okay for now, there are some tweaks I wish to apply later on, but will have to build a interface option screen first. :)
