Configuration

As you see in the example of the introduction, the config file is a Lua table that contains the information for the rotation, like the name, the in combat rotations, the wow version, the apep version and many more. Here is an example of a real world rotation.

{
    name = "Protection Warrior (DSL mode)",
    ic = inCombat,
    ooc = outCombat,
    use_lua_engine = false,
    gui = GUI,
    gui_st = {
        title = "CR Settings",
        color = "87CEFA",
        width = "315",
        height = "370"
    },
    wow_ver = "10.1.7",
    apep_ver = "1.1",
    ids = spellIds_Loc,
    blacklist = blacklist,
    pooling = false,
    load = exeOnLoad,
    unload = exeOnUnload
}

name

ic

The in combat rotations, it's a table or function that contains the rotations to be executed in combat.

ooc

use_lua_engine

Example

{
    gui_st: {
        title = "Warrior Protection",
        color = "87CEFA",
        width = "315",
        height = "370"
    }
}

wow_ver

ids

The ids table contains spell IDs, which are essential for supporting multiple languages. By using spell IDs, your rotation can recognize spells regardless of the client's language settings. This ensures that the rotation functions correctly even if the game language changes. If you do not use spell IDs, the rotation may fail to identify spells correctly.

local spellIds_Loc = {
    -- Buffs
    ["Juggernaut"] = 65156,
    ["Sudden Death"] = 52437,
    ["Taste for Blood"] = 60503,
    ["Power Word: Shield"] = 48066,
    ["Protection of Ancient Kings"] = 64413,
    ["Sacred Shield"] = 58597,
    ["Divine Aegis"] = 47753,
    ["Blessing of Might"] = 48932,
    ["Greater Blessing of Might"] = 47488,

    -- Debuffs
    ["Expose Armor"] = 8647,

    -- Talents
    ["Improved Slam"] = GetSpellInfo(12330),
    ["Armored to the Teeth"] = _A.GetSpellInfo(61222), -- Alliance
}

_A.CR:Add(
    73,
    {
        ...
        ids = spellIds_Loc,
        ...
    }
)
