ForeverMeter

Damage, healing, damage taken and threat meter for WoW Forever. Light, fast, no dependencies.

⚠ Restart the game after you install or update ForeverMeter. /reload is not enough: the game loads new texture and font files only at startup.

⚡ What is it?

WoW Forever looks like Classic, but it runs on the modern game engine. That engine forbids the combat log to addons, and the usual meters break. ForeverMeter reads C_DamageMeter, Blizzard's server-side meter, instead. Built for client 1.60 (engine 12.x):

One Lua file. No Details, no Ace, no LibStub. A light replacement for Details.
Bars keep moving in combat. In combat, names, amounts and GUIDs are secret values: the game can show them, but addons cannot compare or add them. ForeverMeter shows the bars in the order the game gives them.
The rest comes after combat. Percentages, the per-spell breakdown and the comparison are filled in out of combat.
Threat comes from UnitDetailedThreatSituation.
Your settings are saved.

✨ New in 1.8.0

Bar height (options panel): slider from 10 to 40 px. Windows keep their number of rows.
Background opacity (options panel): slider from 0 (transparent) to 1, for the meter windows and the breakdown.

✨ New in 1.7.0

Bar text columns: total, per second and percent can each be shown or hidden, in the options panel. In combat the percent is never shown, as the amounts are secret.
Chat report from the breakdown: right-click the breakdown title to send that player's top 5 spells to raid, party or say. With a comparison open, the compared lines are sent (12.3k | 9.8k (+26%)). Out of combat only.

🎯 What you get

🪟 Windows

Up to 4 windows, each with its own mode, session, size, position and lock. Damage and healing side by side.
Docking: release a window against the edge of another one and it snaps to it. It then follows that window's moves and size. Drag it away to undock.
Resize with the grips in both bottom corners: width and number of rows, per window.
Padlock in each title bar: freezes the position and size of that window.
Menu button, or right-click the title: mode, session, lock, windows, options. Reset button: clears the data.

📊 Data

Modes: damage, healing, absorbs, damage taken, enemy damage taken, avoidable damage taken, interrupts, dispels, deaths, threat.
Sessions: current fight, overall, or any fight kept by the client.
Hover a bar: top 5 spells. Click: full breakdown per spell (icon, total, per second). Shift-click a second bar: compare both players.
Deaths: time of death on the bar, last hits taken on hover (spell, source, damage).
Damage taken: the breakdown names the creature that cast each spell.
Threat: visual and sound warning above a threshold you set (/fm warn 90).

🎨 Look and tools

Options panel: Options → AddOns → ForeverMeter, /fm options, or Options in a window menu. Texture, font, font size, language, scale, refresh, threat warning, sound, pets, lock, auto show, bar text columns, bar height, background opacity, reset.
Textures and fonts: 6 textures, 6 bundled fonts, game fonts, LibSharedMedia.
Icons: specialization icon when the client provides one, class icon otherwise.
Chat report (/fm report 5): raid, party or say, depending on your group.
Minimap: addon compartment button to show or hide all windows.
11 languages: enUS, frFR, deDE, esES, esMX, itIT, ptBR, ruRU, koKR, zhCN, zhTW. Client language by default; /fm lang frFR forces one, /fm lang auto reverts to it.

⚠ Works, with limits

In combat, the percent column is never shown.
Breakdown comparison and chat report work out of combat only.
Enemy damage taken and avoidable damage taken show only when the client provides them.
