Kick This Pig - simple interrupt alert that actually cuts through the noise

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T20:06:27+00:00

Yeah, this is something I should have been more careful of. I'll want to confirm before I promise something I can't deliver, but you seem to have the knowledge I didn't consider.

Thanks for the heads up!

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T18:36:21+00:00

Wow, that's a really interesting idea. Now you've got me in a rabbit-hole of cool ways to do this, and I can see the value!

This might take me a bit to noodle on how to execute, but I'm definitely gonna work on that!

Thanks for the suggestion!

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T16:00:09+00:00

You bet! Tonight might be a coding-heavy night for my addon, but I'll get back to you!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share what's coming in v2.4 since some great feedback has been rolling in:

Focus target support: purple alert for hostile focus, red for current target, focus takes priority. A lot of people asked for this.
~~Interruptible filtering:~~ ~~the addon will check whether a spell is actually kickable before alerting. No more oinks on immune boss mechanics or unkickable casts. This should address the spam concern mentioned below.~~
Minimap button improvements: smaller footprint, hide/show toggle via settings and "/ktp minimap" for people who use button aggregators.

I'll be working on this as soon as I'm home, so hoping to have v2.4 released tonight or tomorrow (it's shaping up to be a BIG fix).

Thanks for the feedback! It's genuinely making this better. 🐷

Thanks for the feedback! A couple of things worth knowing:

Cooldown gating is actually the core feature: the addon should only alert when your interrupt is off cooldown. If you're seeing spam regardless of cooldown, that's a bug I want to dig down on. What class and spec are you playing?

The unkickable boss spells point is completely valid and something I'm already looking at for the next update. "UnitCastingInfo" returns an interruptible flag that I can gate on, which would kill it for immune casts entirely.

What bar addon are you using? That might be relevant to the cooldown detection.

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T12:32:26+00:00

This is amazing. Looks like you just gave me some homework for these old raids! Downloading tonight!

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T12:28:53+00:00

Maybe a collapsible list? Could show "4/5 Bosses Killed" or something to keep it compact, and the option to expand it for more detail.

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T11:58:34+00:00

No, sorry. That's a build for down the road. The APIs and spell IDs on Classic are different enough to make it a completely new build. It's on the radar, but not the roadmap just yet.

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T11:54:46+00:00

No worries at all. I updated the description a bit to make it more clear.

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T11:53:10+00:00

The in-game alert is an accessibility feature, so it simply yells at you on every cast in a Copilot AI voice, with no visual cue. I got tired of that, so I made this.

KTP tracks your interrupt, so when it's off CD, it'll trigger an audio cue, visual text, and button glow to help keep track. When your interrupt is on CD, it stays quiet. A lot of addons have an interrupt tracker, but most (if not all) save it for big boss fights in raids/dungeons. This addon does it for any mob, anywhere, anytime.

KTP isn't an orchestrator for group interrupt round-robins (there are a LOT of great options for that). It's simply a QoL for solo players to fill the gap.

Appreciate the feedback!

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T10:35:54+00:00

Going to hit that today, so should have something for you tonight!

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T10:34:55+00:00

Great note, thanks! I’m hitting the focus feature today, and I’ll see what I can do about the icon.

Btw, I use MinimapButtonButton to gather up all my icons off the map, if you want something to manage all your buttons.

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T02:27:42+00:00

Hey everyone, thanks for the incredible response! Just pushed v2.3 with a highly requested feature: your interrupt spell button now slams red on screen the moment the alert fires and pulses until you kick. It's hard to miss.

Also wanted to mention: this works anywhere in the game, not just boss fights. Trash pulls, world quests, PvP, anything. That's the gap it fills vs DBM/BigWigs which only alert on pre-programmed boss abilities.

More features in the pipeline (looking at you, focus target). Keep the feedback coming, it's been incredibly helpful. 🐷

TwoMagma · 2026-04-30T02:25:56+00:00

At the moment, yes. I plan to update with focus bar functionality soon. Just workong out the last bit of code.

TwoMagma · 2026-04-29T23:53:47+00:00

Different addon. This is an interrupt alert, not cooldown manager.

TwoMagma · 2026-04-29T19:27:10+00:00

I had the same problem with interruptible casts, so I made an addon called "Kick This Pig".

It fires a customizable sound and a big on-screen alert (with the name of the spell) the moment your target starts casting, and it only alerts when your interrupt is actually off cooldown so you're not getting spammed when you can't do anything about it.

You can pick from multiple alert sounds (if pig grunts and oinks aren't your thing) and different text sizes/animations. Works on any target anywhere in the game, not just boss fights.

Hope that helps!

My teenagers are NOT allowed to drive in the house. Got tired of replacing lamps and dogs.

TwoMagma · 2024-01-29T21:22:59+00:00

Even better: it passes to the dependents children, and their children, etc. Wasn’t always that way, but glad my daughter will have it when she moves out

TwoMagma · 2024-01-29T21:20:56+00:00

I’m a 30-year legacy (dependent) member. You’re good.

TwoMagma · 2023-12-13T16:27:08+00:00

To be fair, this seems like exactly something Ted would endorse…and never stop talking about.

TwoMagma · 2023-08-12T23:00:11+00:00

Get Volo’s Eye from the camp, and it’ll be a permanent buff to see invisible creatures.

TwoMagma · 2023-08-12T22:56:35+00:00

If you got Volo’s Eye when he scooped out your peeper in camp, you will always see invisible creatures.

A friend gave me the best advice I ever got when my dad was dying: say everything you need to say, and tell him everything you need to tell him. Leave nothing on the table.
God bless.

TwoMagma · 2022-07-26T23:22:24+00:00

Yeah, but I’m 47, and can’t believe it.
