VuhDo Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do HoTs (partially) not show up?

A: Go to Options=>General=>Misc and select HoT targeting => multi

Q: I have bound a spell name to a mouse click but it won't be cast. Why?

A: Check if you have a macro of the same name as the spell.
A: Only beneficial spells can be cast this way.

Q: I have ordered my main panel by roles. Some players seem to have the wrong role assigned.

A: Role detection may fail due to limited possibilities of analysis especially for hybrid classes. You can manually override auto detection. Bind a mouse click to menu (Options=> Spells) if you haven't done already. Then click on the player in wrong group and select another from the drop down menu.

Q: Is there anyway to make it so VuhDo automatically put the group you are in, in the first column?

A:Of course:
1. To have your button on first position within the groups:
- Select Options=>Panels=>General "You first"
2. To have you own group first of all groups:
- Go to Options=>Move
- Click the green "+" on the left side of your groups panel
- Select "Group" => "Own" in the new box, click okay.
- Drag&Drop the new box to the left of "Group 1"
3. Go to options=>General=>General and select "Filter"=>"Own Group"
(To not have your own group twice in the panel)

Q: Is it possible to target a player on click instead of healing him?

A: Just enter "target" instead of a spell name in spell options. You can also use "focus", "assist" and "tell" as commands.

Q: What is the "Private Tanks" panel?

A: This is for persons you personally want to keep an eye on and so have them in an extra group. You can assign them by binding "menu" to a click-combo in Options=>Spells to bring up the context menu and then select "Private Tank" to add/remove someone from that list.

Q: When I disconnect mid-fight, after logging back in VuhDo panels don't show up until I get out-fight

A: This is a technical restriction of so called "SecureUnitFrames" which have to be used by all click-heal addons. They cannot be assigned/shown/hidden while in-fight. Blizzard invented this mechanism to prohibit the former full-automatic target+cast healer addons. So: There's nothing I can do about it.

Q: When moving a heal panel for the first time WoW freezes for a fraction of a second or more. Why?

A: I'm using the standard WoW interface for moving panels. I think it's got something to do with how panel components are internally stored. Unfortunately I can't do anything about it.

Q: VuhDo uses about 5-6 megs of my precious ram? Isn't that too much?

A: VuhDo offers up to 10 healing panels each carrying a max. of 51 unit buttons. Every unit button has 11 bars, about 15 icons and some text elements and another target button. That's 5610 bars, 7650 icons... and so on. You can buy another gig of ram for about 20$ and VuhDo will then fit in it 170 times. So: VuhDo uses memory worth about 12 cent.

Q: I can't get BuffWatch to show the buffs of my low-level char.

A: You'll have to have learned the "large" variant of a buff (e.g. greater blessings) in order to use with buff watch.

Q: I can't get buff watch to show "Thorns", "Horn of Winter", etc.

A: Buff watch is - because of technical limitations - currently not supporting single target buffs that can be on more than one target at once. These buffs may be added in a future version though.

Q: Some custom (de)buffs aren't detected anymore. Is it a bug?

A: Most probably not. Blizzard sometimes changes the name of a debuff. Please delete the old name and save the new one. (e.g.: Deconstructors "Light Bomb" has been changed to "Searing Light")
