Addon: EkBomb
Author: Dargen.
Guild: Eternal Keggers
Server: Norgannon
Description:
This addon displays a very large attention-getting warning window in the
center of your screen when you get certain "bomb" type debuffs. These are
debuffs where you either want to run away from everyone else, or
stop whatever you are doing immediately.
There are options to play a sound when the window appears, make the window
flash slowly, display a timer, and change the opacity, scale, and colours.
Each debuff warning can be individually enabled, and there is a test button
to try it out at any time.
The window will not prevent you from clicking on something behind it. You can
either leave the warning on screen until the warning's timer counts down to zero,
or you can click on the close button to hide the warning.
The debuffs currently supported by the addon are:
- Burning Adrenaline (Vaelastrasz the Corrupt, Blackwing Lair)
- Corrupted Healing (Nefarian, Blackwing Lair)
- Living Bomb (Baron Geddon, Molten Core)
- Mutating Injection (Grobbulus, Naxxramas)
- Plague (Anubisath Defender, Temple of Ahn'Qiraj)
- Threatening gaze (Bloodlord Mandokir, Zul'Gurub)
Command summary:
- /ekbomb -- Open the EkBomb configuration window.
- /ekbomb help -- Display this command summary.
- /ekbomb reset -- Reset position of configuration window.
- /ekbomb test -- Test bomb warning window.
