ImageImageImageImage


📝 Overview
This addon is a remake of the PartyBot Command Panel (PCP) for World of Warcraft (WoW) 1.12.1 and 1.14.2. It is more customizable than the original addon and introduces new features, including the ability to control bots when you are dead. Additionally, it replaces text-based target markers with sorted icons for a more intuitive experience.

✨ Features

Resizable Frame:

Resize the frame to better fit your screen by dragging the handle in the bottom-right corner.

Themes:

Choose from various themes to customize the panel's appearance.

Backdrop and Title Background:
Choose whether to display a backdrop behind the command panel and a background for the titles (like "Come Commands," "Stay Commands," "Move Commands").

New minimap button:

Control Bots When Dead:
Maintain control of bots even when your character has died.

Reset Frame Position:
Use the command:

Code: Select all

/movepcp
This moves the PCP frame to your cursor, resolving an issue from the original addon where the frame sometimes appeared off-screen.

Other Improvements Over the Original Addon:
  • **Icons for CC marks and focus targets** – Now sorted in the same order as when marking a target.
  • **Removed the "Add" button** – You now add a bot by clicking the "role button" (e.g., "Tank").
  • **Removed the "Add Random" button** – This feature was deemed unnecessary.
  • **Moved the close button** – Relocated from the bottom to the upper right corner.
  • **Changed the minimap button image** – Updated for a fresh look.
  • **Reworked UI from XML to Lua** – Eliminated the XML file and rebuilt all buttons and frames in Lua, enabling new features like frame resizing.

🛠️ Installation

Download the Addon:

I will continue working on improving the themes, but I feel like I've made great progress, so I decided to release the first version.

Nice!

It looks like it works superb on 1.14.2 client. Icon on minimap is visible and main addon window is moveable and those were my issues on last version.

Microbug? Pcp.toc has interface value 11200, shoudn't it be 11402

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the toc file, I must have included the wrong one. It is now fixed!.

Hi! Excellent question! (But wrong thread this is the pcp addon thread which is the control panel) but to answer your question: If you are coming from the previous version it should work. However there is one new row for bosses with multiple bosses (like big trio, or 4 horsemen) named bosses. This row is used for being able to add the correct preset when using ctrl+alt+mouseclick, I also renamed some ”fullnames” for the same reason.

I've been using this and it is definitely better looking than the original. Especially for larger monitors.

I am, however, encountering a bug during raids. I'm not sure when, but there are times when I press 'come' under Range and it tells me there aren't any range in the groups when I have 30 mages in my raid. Here's an example: https://imgur.com/a/dzdC1jW

Sometimes I can get around this by untargeting a mob or ally but this time it did not work. Other times, the button works perfectly and I get taken by surprise when it goes back to not working.

Figured I'd let you know. I'm still going to use it over the other.

Hm weird. Thanks for reporting this! What version of the game are you running?
