On Hiatus

I'm not currently subscribed to World of Warcraft. I just moved, I am transitioning jobs and also earning a Bachelor of Science in Software Development from Western Governors University. I'm sorry, because I really want to maintain and improve Learning Aid. I just don't have enough time and money to spare to play WoW right now. I'd like to keep Learning Aid alive, but I only have the ability to play on my sub-20 characters and the PTR (when that's up). If anyone wants to contribute patches, they are welcome to do so. Please send me a PM or post a comment with the changes. Thanks.

What Learning Aid Does

Displays new spells/abilities when you level up or gain new abilities through other means.
Searches for spells/abilities that you may have forgotten to add to your action bars.
Puts unlearned and then relearned talent-based spells/abilities back where they were.

What Learning Aid Doesn't Do Yet

LDB plugin.
Integration with the base UI's level-up display.
Filtering of level-up messages.
Finer-grained control of automatic placement of newly learned spells on action bars, from turning it off to controlling when and where it happens.
Highlighting options for the spellbook, such as making missing spells stand out in some way.

Directions

Learn a new spell/ability!
Drag it to your action bar!
Click the close box to dismiss the window!

You can also shift-click an ability button to create a chat link, just like from the spellbook.

Options

Right-click on the window's title to lock the window so it does not move. Learning Aid has a configuration panel in the Interface Options window.

Compatibility

Learning Aid 1.13.0 Alpha 1 is compatible with World of Warcraft 7.0.3.

Thanks to talkswind and wowuicn for their Korean and Chinese translations (respectively) of Learning Aid! I greatly appreciate your work!

Hi @ all,

it would be nice if somebody could have a look at the French localization, or whatever language is not done yet, like Spanish, Russian or Chinese:

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/learningaid/localization/

This is just sort of a reminder to all the people coming around ;)

Greetings to everybody and have a nice day!

crzykidd: If you type "/la macros on" (without the quotes) or go to the Learning Aid configuration panel and enable the corresponding checkbox, then the missing ability search will look inside macros for abilities. However, it will only find them if they are on a standard (Blizzard ID based) action bar or a Macaroon action bar. Are you using a different action bar / macro AddOn?

Thanks that fixed it. I just converted to doing a ton of mouse over macros for my healer. What should /macros do? When I do search it shows spells that exist in a macro, and if I do /macros nothing seems to happen.

BTW really like the columns change thanks for doing that.

There was a bug in version 1.10 Beta 1. I just uploaded 1.10 Beta 1a which should fix the issue.

@crzykidd: Yeah, I can do that. In the meantime, try out the "Ignore Ability" feature new in 1.09. That should help reduce the number of abilities that show up when you use the missing ability search.

edit: OK, version 1.10 Beta 1 is up, which adds multiple column support. Try it out, see if it works.

Is there anyway to make this display as 2 colums vs the one? It doesn't pick up items contained in AutoBar, so I tend to have a number of items that don't have a button. On my lvl 80 toons it scrolls off the bottom of the screen. The ability to have 2 or 3 columns would improve this a lot.

Thanks,

Hi Jamash, I'm working on it right now and will be finished soon.

Greetings, Freydis

EDIT: OK, done. Please let me know in case you need some more translation. :)

Hi Fredyis88, if you would like to help translate Learning Aid then I would very much appreciate it! I just activated localization and uploaded a few basic phrases. I will add the rest of the text from the configuration page to the localization system over the next few days.

Thanks, Jamash
