CrutchAlerts 
This addon is a crutch. Use the crutch proudly.
Unlike other alert addons, CrutchAlerts displays almost ALL incoming attacks that are cast on you. It also displays a curated list of casts on other players or the enemy itself that may affect you, as well as very large prominent alerts for especially dangerous or important casts.
However, this isn't meant to be a replacement for addons like Code's Combat Alerts or trial-specific addons which all display additional useful information. I think of CrutchAlerts as a gap-filler and also just an interesting tool to see the abilities cast on me out in the world, some of which have interesting names I would never have noticed otherwise.
Disclaimer: Certain features that rely on text detection may only work on English client. German, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese support has been added for some parts.
General
General Alerts
- Shows timers for anything that someone (usually enemies) "BEGINs" casting on you, as well as effects that you "GAIN" from enemies. Basically, it contains most targeted attacks.
- Shows timers for certain "BEGIN" or "GAINED" attacks on other people or enemies. Typically these are AOEs that could be dangerous for you. This is whitelist only, you can adjust them in alerts/AbilityData.lua if you want to add/remove something.
- Shows an approximate countdown for when certain bosses will be damageable, such as Pinnacle Factotum and Nahviintaas. English and German clients currently.
Prominent Alerts
- Shows reaaaally big text and sometimes a ding sound for attacks where your action is requested, e.g. blocking the Assembly General Stomp, blocking Shield Charge, dodging Glacial Gash, etc. This is whitelist only, you can adjust them in Prominent.lua if you want to add/remove something.
Vertical Boss Health Bar
- Instead of traditional health bars that go left and right, this features vertical health bars for the boss(es), allowing labels for percentage-based mechanics
- This is a work in progress! Planned features / known issues:
---- Trial and DLC dungeon mechanic thresholds have been added, but not arenas/base game dungeons yet. SoonTM!
---- DLC dungeon thresholds were compiled from online guides and sources, many of which disagree on the exact %s. I want to eventually verify all of them precisely, but this will be a very slow process.
---- More customizable options
---- Center-screen alert text for upcoming thresholds?
---- The upcoming thresholds highlight in yellow based on the health of the healthiest boss. That means some encounters with multiple bosses, such as DSR twins, won't highlight properly when fighting the first boss.
---- Sometimes after wipes or turning on hardmode, the higher health thresholds remain grayed out
Trials
Asylum Sanctorium Features
- In addition to the regular targeted timer for the Defiling Dye Blast, adds options to play a ding sound when the cone is on yourself and/or other people
Cloudrest Features
- In execute with Siroria, shows which side the two flares should go to. This matches the sides designated by RaidNotifier.
- Shows an indicator for Olorime's spears mechanic. Shows a colored icon for 1 revealed spear, grayed out icon for synergized spear, and checkmark for orb dunked.
- Colorizes OdySupportIcons death icons purple if a corpse's shade is still up.
Dreadsail Reef Features
- Shows a prominent alert if you reach too many lightning stacks. The number is adjustable in Settings > Dreadsail Reef
- Shows a prominent alert if you reach too many poison stacks. The number is adjustable in Settings > Dreadsail Reef
Halls of Fabrication Features
- Shows an icon in the world on triplets for a spot outside of Shock Field. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
Kyne's Aegis Features
- On trash, shows icons on the approximate locations where Exploding Spears (from Raiders) will land. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
- On trash and Falgravn, shows icons above players targeted by Blood Prison, a second before the bubble even shows up. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
- On Falgravn, shows icons on the 4 dps stack points for the 2nd floor. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
Maw of Lorkhaj Features
- On Zhaj'hassa, shows indicator for cleanse pads, and timer for when pad will be available.
- On Twins, shows icons above players' heads corresponding with Lunar and Shadow Aspect. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
Rockgrove Features
- On Oaxiltso, shows which side to cleanse on, using the same logic as Qcell's Rockgrove Helper
Sunspire Features
- On Lokkestiiz hardmode, shows icons on the ground for beam phase positions, which will only show before pulling and during flight phase. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
- On Yolnahkriin, shows icons above players who are safe to stack on (do not have Focused Fire debuff) when Focus Fire is cast - mostly a feature for the OT. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
- On Yolnahkriin, shows icons on the ground for where head and (right) wing stack will be when he lands. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
Arenas
Endless Archive Features
- Automatically marks Fabled enemies with basegame target markers when your reticle passes over them. It may sometimes mark incorrectly if you move too quickly and particularly if an NPC or your group member walks in front, but is otherwise mostly accurate. Enabled by default.
Maelstrom Arena Features
- Shows which stage and round you are on, and extra text to remind about final boss round.
- Shows notifications and sounds if you start taking damage to certain abilities in NORMAL Maelstrom/Dragonstar, to facilitate AFK farming, notifying you if manual intervention is needed.
Vateshran Hollows Features
- Option to display messages for missed adds on veteran difficulty, to aid in scorekeeping. It should be used only if going for score; skipped adds may be inaccurate if you skip entire pulls. The missed adds detection assumes that you do the secret blue side pull before the final blue side pull prior to Iozuzzunth. Disabled by default.
Dungeons
Dungeon Features
- In Shipwright's Regret, suggests a group member to stack on for Soul Bomb on Foreman Bradiggan HM. With OdySupportIcons, also displays an icon above that group member. Enabled by default.
Misc
Miscellaneous Features
- Overrides OdySupportIcon such that icons will not show for players in the opposite realm in Cloudrest, Sunspire, and Rockgrove portals.
- Display NPC subtitles in chat, which can be turned off entirely or in certain zones.
Depends on: LibAddonMenu-2.0
Optional if you want trial-specific mechanic icons as listed above: OdySupportIcons
Known Issues / Planned Features
- Add more customizability to be able to turn things off
- Relequen and Galenwe interruptible prominent alerts don't go away after interrupted, this won't be fixed
- This is more of a personal addon, so things I add or change will be things that I find useful. I'll still take suggestions and of course bug reports, but just know that many things may not be very high priority

Re: Re: Incoming boss timer in french
 As Keldorem said, you can find the equivalent messages in other languages and add it.However... I've learned that there are lang files from UESP and I think I can pull translations from there for both dialogue and boss names. It'll take some work though and there's other things I have to do first, but I'm hoping it means I can support every official language without having to rely on (very helpful!) users to manually get all the strings, which is time-consuming. |

Re: Incoming boss timer in french
except for the spider boss in HOF, all other timers are based on chat messages. You could edit in the file <addon-folder>\CrutchAlerts\damageable\Damageable.lua the variable SUBTITLE_TIMES and add there the boss name + the chat message with the timer. You can check the existing code, extend it and provide it in the end to the author so it might (hopefully) be included in the next version. |

Incoming boss timer in french
Hello,
I have a little question. When the client is in english we have the timer before the boss appears (like the first boss in the trial maw of lorkhaj) "boss in 3 ... 2 ... 1" but this information is not appears when the client is in other language (french for me).  It's possible to add this information for the client in other language pls (even if the ad is not translated) ? Thanks for the addon and your feedback.  |
