Thank you for the compliments. I'm really happy everyone is finding it useful and enjoying the addon.

=== v1.1.1 ===
* Fixed a bug causing HaloPro in some languages to always jump over the optimal indicator (always would go from too close to, too far)

This should show up in the curse client in a couple hours, but in the meantime, here is a direct link:

Anyone playing in a language other than English, please test this out and let me know if it's now working.

Thank you

Ok so after playing with this for a while today, it seems you can move far enough back to where the bar is still green, however halo does not hit the target. Seems the range needs to be tightened up a bit.

its a known bug, not a addon problem.

Bug report is here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6712712994

Please bump it to get it fixed.

For now though, when using the addon, just know that in the middle is 25-30 yards and Halo is bugging out at around 27.5 yards, so you you need to be a step or two closer to the too close indicator to ensure it hits.

It is definitely not the addon though. I have tested the crap out of this and explain how easy it is to demonstrate the bug regardless of the addon, in that bug report thread linked.

25-30 yards before anyone comments, is the closest any addon will ever get to detecting range unless Blizzard adds or changes an API. Or adds spells or items I can use to check a distance inbetween. Right now you can only ask the game, is this spell in range, or on use item in range, yes or no. So if there are only spells and abilities with 25 and 30 yard ranges with nothing in between, you can see the issue.

Updated first post now that the addon seems to be very stable and patched to work with all languages, so new users can get a summary without going through the entire thread.

anyone else having problems with this addon?

I'm using the v1 release but it will not load the options or lock/unlock, and is not displaying by default :(

When you say it won't load the options, do you mean you mean there are no options panel under interface addons? Do slash commands work? ie. When you type /hp nothing happens?

Try enabling only HaloPro and disabling all other addons and see if it works correctly. If it does, there may be a conflict with another addon. Turn on other addons one at a time till it stops working and let me know which addon is conflicting and I will get that addon and fix the issue.

As of right now though I am having no problems at all with it using the following other addons (So you don't have to worry about disabling these ones):

I ran around last night in dungeons, questing, scenarios with no issues last night using HaloPro and these addons.

Figured it out.. the conflicting addon was Fonter ;)

[Spinalcrack]

I'm glad you found the culprit. Fonter hasn't been updated for MoP yet. Once it has if a conflict still exists I'll attempt to adjust HaloPro to resolve, but I'ld probably be spinning my wheels until then.

* MAJOR HALOPRO UPDATE!!! *

I just pushed a nice shiny update to HaloPro tightening up the distance for the middle indicator to a max of 28 yards. I didn't think this was going to be possible, but found sort of a loophole as it were. This now makes HaloPro extremely accurate. Version 1.2.1 should show up on curse shortly, but in the meantime you can grab it directly here:

Please be sure to update! And if you haven't tried the addon out yet, or tried it and found it had issues, please give it another shot. It is extremely solid now.
