MyThreat

Enjoy this addon? Consider donating!

MyThreat is a simple compact threat information frame containing only the most essential data. It is designed to be a summary of the current threat situation - basically "how does threat relate to me RIGHT NOW".

Threat is automatically adjusted for Mirror Image and Fade.

There are three modes of operation:

Standard mode:
- Main use: Default behavior. Shows your threat relative to the person who currently has aggro on your target.
- The percentage value represents your threat relative to the current tank's threat.
- The threat difference represents the difference between your threat and the current tank's threat.
- The name is that of the current target's tank.
Focus mode
- Main use: On fights with multiple tanks where the DPSers need to stay below all of them (ex: Gruul, Void Reaver, Gurtogg, Eredar Twins).
- The percentage value represents your threat relative to the person on the focus list with the lowest threat.
- The threat difference represents the difference between your threat and the person on the focus list with the lowest threat.
- The name is that of the person on the focus list with the lowest threat.
- Enabled via a slash command ("/myt focus set TankA,TankB" to set, "/myt focus" to clear).
- Cleared via a slash command ("/myt focus clear").
- Set to automatically adjust to the raid's Main Tanksm as set via the Blizzard raid UI ("/myt focus tanks").
Tank mode:
- Main use: Being able to see who is about to surpass you on threat and determine rapidly your thread lead relative to the other raid members.
- The percentage value represents the person with the 2nd highest threat's relative threat compared to yours.
- The threat difference represents your lead on the 2nd highest person on the threat list.
- The name is that of the 2nd highest person on the threat list.
- Enabled via the interface options or a slash command.

The values are color coded based on level of danger of pulling threat. All values for colors can be customized via a slash command (/mythreat or /myt).

All threat information is obtained via the WoW Threat API. This AddOn is not meant as a replacement to Omen but rather as a supplement, allowing you to have summary information on your current threat situation at a glance while ignoring that of others.

This addon will no longer be hosted on WoWAce/Curse and will now exclusively be updated on WoWInterface.

Current AddOn version: 1.5.3

This is most likely your problem. If not, you can configure the thresholds in the configuration screen, both relative (% of tank's threat) and absolute (difference between tank's threat and yourself). Default values are: -Red: 95% or 1000 threat -Orange: 90% or 2500 threat -Yellow: 85% or 5000 threat -Green: anything else I admit that the default values are somewhat low, they were set in TBC and I haven't touched them since. I'll likely tweak them a bit in the next update to reflect the damage output in LK. Keep in mind, however, that activating tank more essentially "flips" those values around, meaning that if the 2nd highest on the threat list has 95% or more of your threat (or 1000 less threat than you), it'll be red; if the 2nd highest on the threat list is between 90 and 95% it'll be orange, etc.

joshwill80 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 134 Uploads: 0	Colors I really like this addon, but the colors do not seem to change for me. I have tried the default settings and changing them, but the color on the display is always red, no matter how much threat I have. I'm playing a Warlock and have only tested it solo and in 5 mans so far. Warlock pets would not cause this problem would they?

Can you be more specific?

You position the addon in a specific area using test mode and lock, but when you have tank mode enabled, it shows nothing when you are tanking in a group?

Test mode works and so does the option to reposition it. but after that locking it back in place where i put it. I see nothing of it. It doesn't pop up at all. I dunno if htis is a issue with the new omen version or this addon but it's something i want'ed to bring to your attention.

Brimm A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 44 Uploads: 5	I've been debating simply switching from DPS to tank mode based on if you're tanking the current target instead of making it a switch, likely with a different style so you can see at a glance if you're tanking the mob or not. I don't expect to have the time to update the version shortly, but likely in a few weeks or a month I'll put out a new version with this feature.

Yerodan A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	Nice Addon! I am playing a feral druid and I have completely removed Omen after installing this. One Feature Request: I am switching from tank to melee DPS quite often, I would love it, when tank mode switching is done by changing stances/form/presences

any idea how to add outlines to the font?

You can open up the `MyThreat.xml` file, search for any instance of `<FontString` and add the attribute `outline="[...]"` where you replace `[...]` by one of the following: "NONE", "NORMAL", "THICK".

Alternatively, you can use the `SetFont` method to change the font type:

local fontFace, fontSize, _ = MyThreat_ThreatFrameThreatDiff:GetFont();
MyThreat_ThreatFrameThreatDiff:SetFont(fontFace, fontSize, "OUTLINE");

You can substitute "OUTLINE" in that last statement for "THICKOUTLINE".

The three FontString instances used in this addon are: `MyThreat_ThreatFrameThreatDiff`, `MyThreat_ThreatFrameThreatPercDiff`, `MyThreat_ThreatFrameThreatPlayerName`.

You can also open up MyThreat.lua at line 382 and change it there so it automatically sets the outline to the type you prefer.

Good luck!
