17:02.29TorhalZhinjio, Jim-Bim: Yolas
17:08.12ZhinjioHey dude.

17:09.48TorhalLog in. Find a bug/API change. Try to fix. PTR down.

17:31.52Thaokyhey there
18:01.29Kaeltenanyone here using 10.4?
18:08.35Zhinjiohey man
18:12.30Zhinjio10.4 of what?
18:17.41ThaokyZhinjio: remember our discussion about the DataStore thing ?
18:19.06Thaoky(10.4 of MacOS I assume)
18:21.11ZhinjioThaoky: yes, I remember.
18:21.20ZhinjioI still have thoughts on the subject.
18:21.24Thaokyhttp://wow.curseforge.com/projects/datastore_containers/
18:21.39Thaokythere's also a module for achievements, and one for crafts
18:21.52Thaokypets + talents + reputations are on their way :)
18:21.59Zhinjioexcellent
18:22.04Thaokyinput is welcome
18:22.34Thaokybasically, I took what I had in alto, made it better and independant, and voila :)
18:23.06ZhinjioI think the key for this is making the API friendly
18:23.19Zhinjioand the heirarchy of data that can be accessed easy to use
18:23.27Thaokyyeah, and defining the scope of what should go in it or not
18:23.44Zhinjiosure.
18:23.48Thaokyyou'll see in _Crafts that I went a bit further than scanning & storing data
18:24.04Zhinjioyou do need to limit it a bit, but you also need to make it extensible to adapt to what people are already storing in their own addons
18:24.08Zhinjiootherwise noone will use it
18:24.24Thaoky+ some service methods
18:24.38Thaoky_Crafts is the most advanced so far
18:24.39ZhinjioI will delete the project stub I had for it
18:24.43Zhinjiothanks for taking that up!
18:24.51Thaokynp, I was bored :>
18:25.44Zhinjiohmm
18:26.42Zhinjiocan't delete my project
18:29.44Zhinjioah, thats better colors, now I can read boldface stuff again
18:29.53Zhinjiowithout going insane
18:32.12Zhinjiosomeday I'll come up with the perfect color combination for my chat windows
18:32.32Zhinjioand one second after that, the universe will implode and kick off the next big bang
18:33.39Thaokylol ^
18:33.41Thaoky^
18:33.51Thaoky^^
18:38.04ZhinjioDataStore_Containers will be the inventories/bank/gb of all toons, yes?
18:38.57Thaokyyes
18:39.03Zhinjionods.
18:39.34Thaokyow, and you'll notice I added a top level for accounts, like in alto, just in case
18:41.16Zhinjioswitches the email address on his account so he can properly manage subscriptions
18:41.42Zhinjiolet me know if I can help on these somehow
18:42.36Thaokyany improvement that comes to your mind is welcome, this is meant to be the beginning, and there are things that are still undecided
18:42.44Zhinjionods.
18:42.59Thaokylike

18:43.52ThaokyI was thinking about a module that would be DataStore alone, that would be like the main host, telling which other modules are present & so on, but I'm not sure yet if that's necessary
18:44.22Zhinjiothat was my original design as well
18:44.35ThaokyI'm working on a branch of altoholic that uses 3 modules so far, just to see what goes right or not
18:44.39Zhinjioeach module would extend the tree of available information
18:45.23Zhinjioin my original thinking the "dataStore" core would just be the API to all the modules
18:45.33Zhinjioall the shared code that you're going to need in all of them anyway
18:45.53Zhinjioand it would enforce making the method for interacting with the individual datastores consistent
18:46.51Thaokyyes, I already see that some code is redundant, not much, like GetCharacter(), but we'll see how things turn out
18:46.59Thaokyit can definitely be perfected
18:47.24TorhalI just hope you're not doing this for naught. I think many people are locked into libraries rather than client/server.
18:47.34TorhalAnd would addons that require these facilities bundle them?
18:47.49TorhalWhat happens when an addon has an older version than what's on the system?
18:48.45Thaokydistribution & versioning are indeed a concern
18:49.22TorhalI'd see about that before putting a bunch of work into a system that everyone will flee screaming from the thought of.
18:50.03ThaokyI'm not too worried honestly, I do it for me first, if others follow, fine, if I'm the only one to use them, it's ok too
18:50.30ThaokyI know the benefits I will get from using this approach :)
18:51.14Torhalnods.

19:06.45Zhinjionods. Thats really the ideal.
19:06.53Zhinjioif you're doing it because you will use it, perfect.
19:07.01Zhinjioanyone else can blow themselves if they don't see the value
19:16.44Thaokyif anything, it will be a major benefit for improvements I intend to make to the account sharing feature
