This week I have two updated mods for you. Both were actually new to the site last week, but got pushed aside… Due to their authors’ updates though, they were put into the pool again for this week.

NinjaPoints:

NinjaPoints is a combo point tracker for you rogues and druids out there. It will display combo point numbers on your screen or you can define what text is shown for each point, such as "Tres" in the above screenshot. Another example given by its author is that you could spell out words for each point (1 point would show a K, 2 = KI, 3 = KIL, 4 = KILL, and 5 would show KILL!) Fonts are customizable and you can even use your own custom sound file for combo points.

BindingsReminder:

BindingsReminder adds the image of a QWERTY style keyboard below your keybindings window. Red highlighted keys are those that you have an action bound to already. Hovering over a button (such as the 2 in the screenshot above) shows what is bound to that key, including bindings that involve modifiers such as Control or Shift. This is a great tool for those like me who forget what is bound to what, or for those who want to see what keys they have available still.

Panda is a mod that Tekkub started talking about a long time ago and I had since forgotten about. Well, it was finally released to wowi, and here’s the scoop on it.

Panda:

<no picture, cause tek doesn’t believe in ‘em :p So here’s my own>

Panda (Prospecting and Disenchanting Aide) is a mod to help you auto-loot when disenchanting and prospecting. Sure, you could just enable Auto Loot in your Interface Options, but most people (myself included) prefer to leave that option off. But using the auto-loot modifier key (shift, for example) only works for the first DE or Prospect. So, visions of pandas started dancing around in tekkub’s brain.

Since then, a couple of other features have taken form in the mod. It also helps auto-loot when cutting gems and will gather price information from AuctioneerAdvanced for gems, dusts, and other mats.

Because of the patch this week, there were 379 different uploads (that’s including UI compilations) - not to mention that some of those were updated multiple times this week! That was a lot to sift through. Here’s what caught my attention. When I saw mention of the mod, Toons, in the forums, I just had to download it and see what it was all about. I also picked an updated mod this week (was originally released when the PTRs were up), which makes use of the new 2.4 feature of having icons in chat.

Toons-v2:

This mod keeps track of all of your alts, on all servers, and lets you see their details via the "Toons" tab on the Social pane. Want to see how much gold they have and how much total you have on the server? Forget which alt has herbalism, and which alt has mining? Have an abundance of netherweave, but don’t remember how much space is left in your alt’s bank? Is your lowbie druid at full rested xp? You can view all of these things and more with Toons.

ChatIcons:

The new 2.4 patch brings a couple new features that work their way into our chat frames. One of these is the ability to link spells into chat, the other is that icons can be put in text strings (tooltips, raid warnings, and chat).

So, just like how raid symbols show in chat and the combat log now, tardmrr’s addon, ChatIcons, inserts class, spell, and ability icons into chat. Instead of using a chat mod to color names by class, you can see their class icon instead (note: only works for party/raid/guild). See the icon for an item when your guild links loot into raid chat.
