I decided I want to use as few add-ons as possible forever, so I naturally chose Ellesmere. I am not using all modules, though. The only other add-on that I have is HealthBarColor (since I want the default Blizzard player and target frames, but I don't want to use Ellesmere's ones; they are a tad different).

Keep in mind that I didn't level past 10 in the beta, and there might be some issues or edges to polish, but I will update the profile as time goes by

Also posted it here in case anyone wants to copy it or use it as a baseline for his UI: https://wago.io/0bIYg8Q3R

Openmap: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/openmap

Hey everyone - been working on this throughout the Beta and figured I'd finally release it. There have been a lot of map addons posted here as of late, many of which forego blizzards classic maps for a stitched minimap. I've always wanted a massive seamless world map that is fully zoomable/pannable in the original art, so that's what this is. Along with some cool QoL things like resizable map / removing the annoying black bars in full screen etc.

Openmap is an open source, seamless world map addon for Forever that prioritizes the original Vanilla map art style. I've gone through the painstaking process of aligning and blending all of the maps to create as seamless of a map as possible with Blizzards original art files. You can adjust your settings to tastefully bring in minimap data on close zoom levels (or disable it) as well as hide unexplored areas.

As with most coding projects as of late Claude helped me write the code for this and is assisting with open source management since that is a lot of work. The repo is fully open sourced on git so feel free to pull it down and help me develop it if you're interested - would love to see more addons take this approach so things don't die in the hands of a developer that loses interest.

Anywho, I'm here if anyone has any questions/bugs/feature requests. Thanks! -Ji

I'm returning to wow after a decade away, I'll be playing the Forever version on the 4th. Maining a afflic warlock, my question is what are my add-on choices for having debuff bars for tracking dots?

I preferred a bar layout rather than a name plate solution.

Thanks 👍

Hi, I wanted to ask if there’s an addon that highlights or otherwise shows which quests are part of the main story, similar to how it works in newer expansions. I started playing The Burning Crusade today, and something like this would really help me out. Thank you!

Basically it just creates a box that shows all spells being cast, and highlights the ones you can interrupt with a custom color. I think the recent patch broke ECB. Ellmeres has something similar under "mythic tools" but I can't get that to work either. Did the patch just break these addons, or is there a way to fix it or get the functionality back anyone is aware of?

I’ve been building FlashHUD, a Hunter addon for WoW Forever. It started as an ammo counter and grew into a toolkit for combat timing, cooldowns, pet care, alerts and everyday conveniences.

The part I’ve put the most effort into is making it easy to customize. Open a feature’s settings, hold Alt to see where you’re editing, and move it into place. There are previews throughout the menu, magnetic alignment, Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y undo and redo, and searchable settings.

What does it offer?

Combat timers: Auto Shot, cast/channel, melee swing and mana with a five-second-rule indicator.
Cooldown tracking: three customizable rows, spell/item imports and separate specialization layouts.
PetHUD: health, focus, happiness, feeding tools and pet debuffs that display in combat.
Hunter indicators: Aspects, Hunter’s Mark, Summon Hawk and more.
Alerts: missing Aspect/pet, Improved Tracking, unspent talents, low ammo, durability, Mend Pet with range text, and other combat reminders.
Everyday tools: optional auto-repair, grey-junk selling, ammo restocking with purchase confirmation, weapon-training hints and a duel countdown.
Your own layout: Quick Setup or Advanced setup, saved profiles, six menu themes and individually selectable features.

You can keep it simple or build a fuller HUD around the tools you use.

1.39.2 brings the updated menus, expanded preview galleries, combat pet-debuff tracking and a lot of editing improvements.
I’d love to hear what other Hunters think. Found a bug, missing something, or have an idea? Come join us in The Hunting Grounds and post in the FlashHUD forum. If the idea fits and the client supports it, let’s see what we can make happen. 🙂
