This release is about closing the gaps between wowutils and the rest of your raid night: edit raidplans without leaving the page, carry your players' in-game nicknames into the notes you copy, and see who actually wants in on a boss right where you build the comp.
Edit raidplans in place
Raidplans on the assignments page are now editable. Until now the embedded raidplan was view only: to move anything you had to open Raidstrats.gg, edit there, and resync. That round trip is gone.
- Move and save from the assignment. Turn on Edit, drag players and objects on the raidplan, then Save. Your changes are written to Raidstrats.gg and synced to everyone else on the assignment page.
- Edit the default plans too. Editing one of the prebuilt, Viserio made raidplans duplicates it and saves the copy to your own Raidstrats account, then asks if you want to switch the team to it.
- Sign in to Raidstrats. Editing needs you logged in to Raidstrats.gg so it knows which raidplans you are allowed to edit. Saving a plan you do not own simply saves your own copy.
- Let your team edit too. If you want teammates to edit a plan directly, give them edit access to it on Raidstrats.gg.
- Move only, here. You can reposition objects and players on the plan from wowutils; adding or removing them is still done on Raidstrats.gg.
Here is the whole flow, from linking a raidplan to enabling Edit and saving:
Raidplans on every assignment
In case you missed the embed itself: most assignments can show a live Raidstrats.gg raidplan right on the page.
- Prebuilt or your own. Many assignments come with a Viserio made raidplan ready to go. Prefer your own? Edit it, or open Raidplan settings and paste a Raidstrats.gg view link to use it instead.
- Any plan, any assignment. The link field accepts any public raidplan, so you can drop a specific plan onto a specific boss or assignment.
- Tune the look. Colored circles or class icons, index numbers, and name length all live in the Raidplan settings dialog, and apply to your view as you change them.
Indexes line up with your roster
The raidplan and your assignment share one numbering system, so names stay in sync automatically.
- Numbers map to slots. Each assigned player has a number next to their name, and that number matches the index marker on the raidplan slot. The player numbered 3 fills index 3. Change who is assigned on wowutils and the plan updates for everyone.
- Set where a row starts. Open Config on a row and set its Raidplan Start # to control which index that row begins at.
NSRT nicknames in your notes
Plenty of raids run nicknames in game through Northern Sky Raid Tools, but the notes you copied out of wowutils still used full character names. Now they can match.
- Turn it on per note type. In the group's General settings, separate toggles let you use nicknames in cooldown notes and in assignment notes. Players without a nickname keep their character name.
- Set a nickname per player. Each member's nickname lives on the Roster page: edit a member and fill in Nickname.
- Share the list in game. Export your nickname list from the Import/Export menu at the top-right of the Roster page ("Export NSRT Nicknames") and have the raid import it into NSRT.
- One caveat worth repeating. A nickname only fires reminders for players who have set it in their own NSRT, so make sure everyone imports your exported list, otherwise their reminders won't trigger.
As always, feedback and ideas are welcome in Discord or on the Community page.
