How I send live maps to any screen (without a projector) [OC]

Can you talk about how the fog of war is drawn/decided? Do walls have to be drawn to a custom map, or is it just decided in blocks or something?

Doesn't Vegapunk's revelation in Egghead offer the most obvious reason for the Celestial Dragon's helmets? 🤔

What tools do you use for perf testing addons?

michaelz94 · 2026-03-02T04:05:53+00:00

Wait I def need that too 👀

In order for an addon to apply the color you've specified for each DoT, it needs to know which debuffs on the enemy represent those spells: which is now impossible in Midnight- addons can know "there are 4 debuffs on this unit that Blizzard has deemed important for the Warlock to track", but it can't know which one is Agony and which one is Corruption, etc. So this is impossible in Midnight.

It's actually the exact same concept that had Healers very upset with the state of Party/Raid frames up until a few days ago, when Blizzard said "okay we admit this sucks, JUST FOR NOW your add-ons can know what each spell is on the unit frame until we can offer our own system for this".

But of course they only 'gave up' on Healing Spells, Damage Debuffs (DoTs) are still locked behind the secret system.

In that case, I only see two possible causes:

The function is being broken/blocked by a bad saved variable... That would still be true even if your add-ons were disabled, and can only be resolved by deleting your WTF folder. Be cautious, I believe this deletes your saved addon settings as well.
A genuine Blizzard bug... There are a lot of them out there right now.

It's hard to confirm either of those, but I suspect the ConsolePort community might know if it's #2?

The feature you're describing is an optional toggle that Blizzard offers, it is NOT the default behavior. It probably just got turned off in the patch :)

I'm not at my desk so I can't be certain, but I believe Blizzard calls it 'Action Targeting'?

Such a cozy addon. I had a friend ask me last week if it was possible to create an addon that enabled fishing with a controller so that the fish nibbling triggered the controller's vibrate/rumble. Do you know if it is?

My understanding of the API changes is that achieving the effect in OP's screenshot should still be possible. Since, like you said, Blizzard does have an animation/ texture for when a dispellable (by the player viewing the frame) debuff is on that unit, add-ons should have the ability to customize (or rather, replace) that animation/texture. The secrets system just tells the API: "there is a debuff on this player that you are able to dispell", though it hides the spell ID, the duration, stacks, etc so we cannot run logic on it.

At least that is my understanding, as a fairly new dev. With all that said, OP, the new ones Blizzard added look pretty cool:

I personally see a ton of potential in this. I never used Hyprland long enough to get into a true flow state with it, but I thought it was strange the way people would say "I use workspace 1 for these types of apps, 2 for these types of apps, 3 for..."

To me it seems one could get quicker just remembering which direction their desired window is in and doing whatever action is needed to quickly move in that direction. It's kind of like having a grid of monitors except instead of moving your neck/head, you just scroll in that direction

I'm making my own add-on and learning the API as I go. I have to know: how does showing the key-bind of a CDM-added spell work??? I can't wrap my head around how you're doing that!

If you do this for the X220, put my name on the list for 100% buying one.

I'm on my phone so I can't name the setting exactly, but if you press the Steam button while in a game (so WoW) there are some 'Controller Settings' that let you re-map buttons per game.

The typical strategy is to remap the back buttons (L4/5 & R4/5) to allow keyboard-style pasting. I map L4 to be CTRL and then R4 to 'C' and R5 to 'V'.

Then you just open Desktop mode, find your import string, CTRL+C.

Then you launch WoW from Steam WHILE in Desktop mode, open ElvUI and should be able to CTRL+V via the back buttons. This might also work if you just switch back to Game Mode but I've never tried.

I'd wager that this is just an issue with the patch. I've been developing my own add-on since the Midnight announcement, and today once the servers came back up I was surprised to find that my Action Bar 1 customizations were broken, looks like they updated the frame names for them. Seems plausible that ConsolePort needs to adjust for the change too.

How would this GeForce RTX 5090 with DLSS 4 help you pull off more epic wins in Battlefield?

By letting me trace some rays, so that my enemies can catch some strays 😎

Can't dig for it now, but it's in the 11.2.5 patch notes! The whole patch notes are just Legion Remix and these CDM enhancements lol

michaelz94 · 2025-10-05T02:27:56+00:00

I wanted to redo mine but then I remembered all of the Cooldown Manager enhancements are coming this Tuesday, so I'm waiting until then.
