Angry Assignments

http://www.wowace.com/addons/angry-assignments/

This addon was written by the guild Angry (US-Illidan) to handle assignments during raids. It provides a convenient way to store and share assignments for different bosses, allows editing by multiple people, and is able to display the information to raiders in a configurable format.

Using AA as a raider

First, you'll want to configure a keybinding for the "Toggle Display" function, so you can easily show/hide the on-screen assignments display during raids. It should appear under the section "Angry Assignments" in the game's keybindings menu.

The rest of the important configuration is in the game's Interface menu, Addons tab, where you should now have a menu for "Angry Assignments" (the "/aa" command will also bring up this screen):

* "Toggle Display" will toggle the on-screen assignments display on and off (can also use "/aa toggle", but likely you'll want to use the keybinding discussed above).
* "Toggle Lock" will lock/unlock the anchor for the on-screen display (can also use "/aa lock" or a keybinding), so that you can configure its location, direction, and width.
* In the "Highlight" field, you can set some words that will be highlighted in your on-screen assignments. Separate multiple words with spaces or commas. Typically, you will set this to your name and any short versions of it that may appear in assignments. If you also add the special keyword "Group" into your list of highlight words, then 5-player raid groups in the format "G1", "G2", "G3", etc will be highlighted whenever you are inside that group at the time.
* You may wish to turn on the "Hide on Combat" option which will automatically hide the on-screen assignments whenever you get into combat. You can always bring them back up during combat by using the keybinding (or other methods mentioned above).
* If you turn on the "Display Backdrop" option, then a background will be displayed behind your current on-screen assignments. You can then configure the color and transparency of this backdrop with the "Backdrop Color" color picker.
* You can use the "Update Notification Color" color picker to select the color of the glow graphic that is momentarily displayed whenever currently-displayed assignments are edited.
* You can configure the font face, size, color, and outline style that will be used for the on-screen assignments. You can also configure the color used for words that get highlighted (see "Highlight" section above).
* Permissions section: AA will accept assignments from the raid leader or assistants, but only when you are in an "approved" raid. If the raid is led by an officer in your own guild, it will always be approved. Raids will also be approved if they are led by anyone whose name you add into the "Allow Players" field (separate multiple names with spaces or commas, cross-server names are supported). If you turn on the "Allow All" checkbox, then all raids will be approved.
* The "Reset Position" button can be used to move the assignments display anchor back to its default location, in case it ends up off the edge of your screen.

For initial setup, unlock the on-screen display if necessary (use the "Toggle Lock" button, "/aa lock" command, or the keybinding if you set one for it), and you should see a red horizontal strip. You can adjust the width of the strip (long lines will be word-wrapped as needed) and place it in whatever location you want. The up/down arrow at the far left of the strip will determine whether the assignments text grows up or down from the strip location. When you're done, click the lock on the strip and it will disappear. It may be easiest to configure this strip while you're actually in a raid and seeing assignments - although while solo, you can also use the edit window (use the "Toggle Window" button, "/aa window" command, or the keybinding if you set one for it), create a test page if necessary, then hit "Send and Display" to show a page to yourself for testing purposes.

During raids, whenever any change in assignments occurs, the new assignments will re-appear on your screen if you had hidden them (along with a noticeable visual indicator). If you selected the auto-hide in combat option, they'll hide when you get into combat, but you can always bring them back up at any time by using the Toggle Display keybinding or other methods. If you re-log or reload your UI during the raid, your addon will pull information from the raid leader to get back in sync (if you are the raid leader yourself, it will use saved data). Upon leaving the raid, the on-screen assignments will go away.
