To work with this addon, ALL healers in your raid/guild need to install it.
When a player starts casting a healing spell, the amount of healing will show on the raid frame of the target. If more than 1 player starts healing the same target, the numbers are added together. If YOUR heal is going to be an overheal, the number if colored red.
Renew, Rejuvenation, Regrowth and Lifebloom are shown as amount per tick next to the number for normal heals on the raidframes. If the number is green, you have a HoT on that target.
You can show a graph of incoming heals and HoTs with the command /ih newgraph. Right click it to show options. Hold CTRL to drag and resize (CTRL+right button) the graph. The colors have the same meaning: red is your overheal, green is your heal/hot.
Supported raidframes: CTRA, sRaidFrames and X-Perl.
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

WingEU saidYo Tattersail, When you will be updating your addon? :)
by the way, do you have a possibility to simplify it a little bit with and without grid? i want to implement this addon really. As well, i want my guild to use it too.
But you are probably very busy.
if you ever check this again.
Otherwise i will catch you on msn perhaps :-)

Cyrandir saidi'm using Pitbull, also an ace-based unit frame. By far my favorite set of unitframes ever. Even more than AG_UF. And yes, it does have raid frames.
Any chance for support there?

bregan saidI recently switched to ag_unitframes and the raidframes are much better than ct_raid. The display of buffs and such things is really good there. Ct_raid is just bars and basics. But without the incoming heal display I can not use it in raid. The aguf are really used by many people. It would be nice, if you support it :-) (Maybe the aguf author can support your addon, I’ll let him know)

Fulnir saidHey Tatter!
Long time since I read these notes.. I'm very sad to se you wont support the Grid frames.. I've become quite fond of them. They're a pain getting used to, but when you have it's like making love to a foxy woman.. - with 24 other people in the room :>

bregan saidThanks for Updating IncomingHeals. As a main healer I think it is the most important raid addon (combined with ct_raid off course).
Well the Wowace.com Site is not as easy to navigate as curse. I find it hard to keep track of you’re updates there. If all my addons where ace2 ones, I would switch to the auto updater. But most are not, so I like to stay here at curse. IncomingHeals is a mandatory addon for my raid and I have to update our forum so that everyone has the newest version running. Not all people want to install an update program or use a site like curse, so I have to post the download to the newest update manually.
So it would be really nice from you to update this entry whenever you can spare some time :-)

Tattersail saidWowace.com/files. You should check out the wowaceupdater program. It can update all your addons with one button click :) I'll probably still update this entry with major updates, or when a release is really bugfree.

Tattersail saidSorry for lazy updating :( Been real busy with study and playing TBC at same time. I put up a pretty good version here on Curse now but I recommend you all switch to using WowAceUpdater and use Ace2 addons. My guild will start raiding soon and I'm forcing em all to download IH again so more bug fixes and new features should be coming more regularly now. But I will not be updating this entry on Curse often.

iprice saidIf you are not planning to update your entry on curse-gaming often (shame, i love the 'favourites' thing for keeping my mods all automatically up to date... hmm if only they'd put in a 'download all updated mods' feature), could you please fill in the 'website' link data to where you are going to be updating this program primarily please?
Since i'm posting (and i probably should have posted this before), thanks for a great mod, pushed long and hard to get this mandatory for every healer in my raid force and as an obsessive compulsive type about efficiency I was very pleased to see overhealing drop to half to a third of what it once had been! Assuming it still works as well as it once did big thanks to Tattersail for this mod and huge recommendations to any raid force to use it. Especially as we're all starting to raid again in "newbie" kit meaning it will be a hard slog probably and every bit of mana saved for the healers will make all the difference!
Cheers!
