Version: 0.82beta
by: NerfedWar [More]
PLease upgrade to version 0.82beta asap to take advantage of performance and accuracy improvements.

"So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself."



This addon passively tracks the abilities used by your friends and enemies and determines the roles and eventually the actual build they are using.

Role/build information is displayed in a small movable HUD when someone is targetted.

Provides a global KTE.getInstance():getSouls(playerName) function so that other addons can leverage its database. Will soon integrate with BookOfTheFallen addon + other addons.

Hi NerfedWar! Great idea, I'd like to test it, but I have russian version of the game. Would You be so kind to point me what files I have to look into for translation? I guess it is KTE.SoulsDB, but affraid there is something else to work on I don't know? "Souls" folder maybe?

Hi there. To get the soul information I parse Soul data provided by Trion on their public FTP site, this information is currently provided in EN, DE and FR and updated whenever there are changes to the soul trees. Could you ask on the Russian website forums whether such information is also available in Russian?

If there is a RU version of the Soul data then it will be very easy to add this capability, if not... I'm looking at other potential ways of achieving this.

Hey Nerfed, think I found an "error", my rogue triggered "Spotter's Order" (Warlord baseline) and get's shown as a 2 point WL now. ^^
Guess the addon requires an exception array with abilities to be ignored.

One more thing, could you perhaps enable it to scan the self cast buffs on the target? And follow the focus target and/or marks as well? I like to keep interesting foes there.

Thnx 4 the work!

0.6beta

Finally got around to finishing off the new beta and it's much better than the previous release.

Features/Updates

Triggers on buffs in addition to combat abilities to increase speed of soul determination and accuracy.
Should now cope with basic reflect type abilities.
Works smoothly in PVE mobs as well as PVP players. Ever wondered the soul build of a particular PVE mob? this addon with tell you!
CPU utilisation is way down due to optimisations of texture updates.
Works on friends and enemies. What builds are your DPS running today?


Known Issues

Most PVE mobs with different skillsets have different names, but there are instances where there are more than 1 build for PVE mobs with the same name. The addon database stores soul builds by name and therefore it will get these messed up combining the souls if you click on one and then another. Have identified how to deal with this, something for the next update.
Very infrequently I've seen an incorrect soul on a player. Most logic holes that allow this have been filled, but there are bound to be some I have yet to find. Keep me informed if you see anything wierd, together with the frequency.
Only currently supports the english client, next version will support french and german. If someone can come up with a souls file for any other language (Trion provide english/french/german on their ftp site). then I'll add support for that language too.
CPU utlilisation in WFs still higher than I'd like on low end machines


Have fun!

Pretty cool. A guild mate created a similar addon that did this, and one nice thing about his is instead of giving the icons of the class, it told you what they were running(like 44nb/22rs/0bd). The icon's are cool, but take too much thought to remember which icon points to which role for each class and when I'm just glancing down it would be nice for it to be more obvious. I like how fast it responds and appears to be good on the processor.

I stopped using his because he added a lot of stuff to it that caused it to be processor intensive(showed the roles of everyone around you, and tracked and displayed their cast bars), so I like that yours just does the target only.

/edit - I tried it in a big group and my addon cpu went to about 60% for this addon, so needs some work on that area.

Other suggestions
  1. Ability to lock it in place
  2. Ability to remove icons and have text of wha the role is
  3. Show player name as well
  4. Have it stick on the last target even if nobody is targetted

nice addon, but the cpu amount it uses is insane. it cripples my framerate to unplayable (even in pve dungeons, when i am never targeting any other players), in pvp its not unplayable, but still noticeable (a few small freezes per second)

There must be something wrong with your PC, because I do not have that problem and I use it all the time and I run with the graphics settings at max.

Have identified some ROFL worthy mistakes in my code logic that are responsible the problem, implementing fixes now.

I don't raid, but I imagine that AoEing in a dungeon with the current version must kill the CPU for some...

After the update it works x10000000000000000000000 times better, but still getting some nasty spikes in CPU usage. A lot better than before though, my highest after update has been 13%

Also anyway you can have it not pull buffs from other players? Weird seeing x warden x sent x dom lol
