Recount/Skada IntegrationGTFO can be set up with Recount or Skada to provide detailed statistical information of alerts.A word of caution: the damage amount displayed on GTFO Alerts may not be fully indicative of the total damage done, especially with fail alerts. For example: if you're hit by a tornado, the damage and fail alert from the tornado picking you up could be 5k, but the fall damage when you hit the ground afterwards is 100k. The amount recorded by Recount/Skada will be 5k.Custom Sound SupportGTFO can be configured to use your own custom sounds for alerts.* You can use the file data ID for official WoW sounds or use a file path for custom addon sounds.Examples:This will change the high damage alert sound to the mage's clearcasting sound:/gtfo custom1 569649This will change the low damage alert sound to DBM's blip sound:/gtfo custom2 Interface/AddOns/DBM-Core/Sounds/blip_8.oggThis will set the high damage alert sound back to default:/gtfo custom1 041b061a72
