If you're grinding Ogri'la or Skuguard rep and you're anything like me, you reach for a pen and paper whenever it comes to doing the apexis relic quest each day. Well, I figured it's time we all helped to save the trees so I created an addon to help us out instead!
/simon Opens up the interface which you can see in the screenshot. It's pretty self explanatory, but here comes a brief description anyway.
Try to stand facing NORTH WEST whilst using the Simon Helper. That way you'll notice the colour positions in the helper correspond to the colours you see on the ground.
While stood at the relic playing the game, click the big coloured boxes in Simon Helper as they're shown to you by the relic. When it's your turn to copy, hit the "playback" button and Simon Helper will light up the boxes in the same order allowing you to copy back to the relic. There's 3 seconds between each box lighting up in playback which is more than enough to hit the corresponding block on the relic. Version 2 will probably include some customisation options to adjust those timings for those who want it a bit faster or slower. In the meantime, feel free to adjust them in the SimonHelper.lua file if you need it a bit slower:
In the SimonHelper.lua file, fine the SimonHelper_PlayNext function and edit these two lines:
Chronos.schedule(2,SimonHelper_Clear); Chronos.schedule(3,SimonHelper_PlayNext);
The first one is how long the box stays lit during playback, second one is how long before the next box is lit. You should always have the second number higher than the first or else you won't be able to tell if the same box occurs twice in a sequence!
The stop button stops playback, the reset button resets the addon allowing you to start again. Simon Helper will also auto-reset when you've completed a round (IE, after it's shown you the last coloured box) so you don't have to click reset before the next round begins.
If there's anything you'd like to see added, removed or changed then pop a comment on here. Otherwise, enjoy and may the trees live forevermore! (Can you tell my first char was a druid?)
DEPENDANCIES: Depends on Chronos (why reinvent the wheel when you need a timer?) but it's included in the package for those who don't have it.
