What it does

In TellMeWhen you build your own icons on screen. Each icon tracks one thing: a spell's cooldown, a buff or debuff, a reactive ability, a weapon enchant, a totem, a rune cooldown, an internal cooldown, other people's cooldowns, diminishing returns or a spell cast. With conditions you can track over 110 other things.

An icon can show the standard cooldown animation, status bars and varying transparency; it works with OmniCC and can be re-skinned with Masque. When an icon's state changes you can play a sound or show text.

More than 110 conditions decide when icons or groups show or hide, and they combine with AND/OR. Meta icons list other icons so several of them can share one spot on the screen.

Installation

  1. Download the zip and extract it.
  2. Move all the folders inside it (TellMeWhen, TellMeWhen_Options) into World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\.
  3. Close the game completely and reopen it (/reload alone does not load new files).
  4. On the character select screen, check that the addon is ticked in the AddOns list.

Commands

/tmw
Toggles locked (working) and unlocked (configuration) states. /tellmewhen works too.
/tmw options
Opens the general settings.
/tmw profile "Profile Name"
Loads a profile. The name is case-sensitive; put it in quotes if it has spaces.
/tmw enable|disable|toggle global|profile groupID iconID

/tmw counter name +|-|/|*|= number

Notes

  • If icons do not respond, make sure the addon is not in configuration mode: toggle it with /tmw.
  • Type spell, buff or item names exactly as the in-game tooltip shows them. If a name fails, use the spell ID, which you can find on sites such as Wowhead.
  • Right-click an icon to open the editor. You can drag a spell or item onto the screen to create a cooldown icon; right-drag moves an icon.
  • The author says CurseForge comments are not monitored: bugs go to GitHub, questions to Discord.

FAQ

My icons do not react at all.

TellMeWhen may be in configuration mode. Type /tmw to put it back in the locked (working) state.

I typed a spell name but the icon does not work.

The name has to match the in-game tooltip exactly. If it still fails, try the spell ID, which sites such as Wowhead list.

How do I move an icon?

While in configuration mode, drag the icon with the right mouse button. A right-click opens the editor.
