Oversight

February 3rd, 2010

Oversight is a stand-alone mod made for World of Warcraft. It is a unit frames Addon specially designed for arena and battleground play to present data in a way that is easier to assimilate by the average or beginner player. It may also find use by advanced players when making videos to better illustrate their strategies and swaps as targeting is made very visible to the user.

Bug reports are more than welcome.  All serious feedback may be posted on the Oversight forums located here.

Features

  • Movable, scalable unit frames arranged in a pleasing circular formation.
  • Original Blizzard unit frame artwork, because circles are cool.
  • Enemy frames are party targets during normal use, but are arena opponents when inside an arena.
  • Spotlight targeting system to visibly show who’s targeting whom, with a number of spotlight options.
  • Cast bar for each tracked unit.
  • Aura configuration so that specific buffs/debuffs may be displayed for ally or enemy players. Aura’s may be shown in a ranked list of seven, or may replace the character’s portrait.
  • Configurable Unit Frame highlighting for poison, curse, magic and disease debuffs on friendly players, as well as dispellable buffs on enemy players.
  • Race portraits for all units except pets.
  • Raid target icons display.
  • Spec detection and display.
  • Locking of party member frames so that the same party members are displayed in the same order and same raid target icons when entering battlegrounds or arenas.
  • Sound alert for when the focus target is casting a spell, or when the target is casting a spell if there is no focus target.
  • Diminishing returns tracker that tracks up to six diminishing return types.
  • PvP Trinket tracker.
  • Profile manager to copy configurations from other characters.
  • Extremely low resource usage.
  • Does not depend on the combat log.

Known Issues

  • Diminishing returns will count down on a selected target if the target was previously selected and had a non-expired debuff of that DR type. This is because Oversight has no way of knowing when exactly the debuff expired unless somebody had it targeted at the time.
