00:00.00TainOver the Albino I think.
00:00.51Canislupusi am not using Perl Classic any more, Clad
00:01.26Canislupusraise your hand if you have ChatBox 1.20 installed
00:01.36KarlKFIChatEdit ftw
00:01.42TainI don't.
00:01.44KarlKFIoh wait, i haven't released it yet
00:01.53TainBut momma's got a squeezebox, daddy doesn't sleep at night.
00:02.08KarlKFIah that's right... the damn editboxes truncate for no good reason
00:02.20KarlKFIanyone have any idea why that is?
00:02.26Canislupusin ChatBox?
00:02.40Canislupusi can help you with that on
00:02.45KarlKFIno no
00:03.06KarlKFIi have an editbox that holds all the currently visible chat in a chatframe, so liek 128 lines
00:03.08TainIn ChattyChatChatEditBox
00:03.12Canislupusoh, b/c in Chatbox, it would CHANGE chat channels in the middle of typing... very annoying
00:03.22KarlKFIand abotu 1/2 the way down it truncates with ...
00:03.38KarlKFIyet you can still sellect invisible text bellow it
00:03.43KarlKFIand copy it all
00:03.53Canislupuswouldnt you guess that there is a 64 char limit to chat?
00:04.03KarlKFIit's not 128 chars
00:04.15KarlKFIit's like 128 lines of unspecified length
00:04.28Canislupuswow..
00:04.51Canislupusoh, i see, the chat history then...
00:05.04KarlKFIthe only thing i can think of is that somehow the hidden color code |haarrggbb is makign it think it's longer than it really is
00:05.27KarlKFIsince there's like 2 or 3 of those per line at least
00:05.29Canislupuswhy aren't you dumping it into a log file for editing in your mod?
00:05.40KarlKFIcause that's not what it's for
00:06.01Canislupuswell you have my curiosity..
00:06.14KarlKFIhere, i'll send you my prototype
00:06.17Canislupuskk
00:06.33Legorolcan anyone think of an API call off-hand that will result in an immediate event trigger?
00:06.37Legorolbefore the call returns
00:06.46Legorolanything will do

00:13.06AnduinLotharsilly manual accept..
00:13.14Canislupuslol i am pretty much an IRC noob, using mIRC only
00:13.15AnduinLothartell it to popup a screen
00:14.02Canislupusso KarlKFI=Anduin?
00:14.05Legoroldon't forget that DCC uses a reverse connection process, so it's the person that is trying to send the file that needs to have fw port open
00:14.12Legorolthis may or may not be relevant
00:14.35AnduinLotharit is open. i checked my router
00:14.45AnduinLotharyes
00:15.11CanislupusLegorol, are you trying to find an event to fire, or do you suspect one is firing already?
00:15.21Legoroli am trying to find one to fire
00:15.26Canislupusi see
00:15.29*** join/#wowi-lounge zespri_work (n=andrews@203.100.211.117)
00:15.32Legoroli want to deliberately cause an event to fire whilst i am in Lua
00:15.46chuckg_cladhaire, update Miniblizzraid!
00:15.47chuckg_D=
00:15.48Legoroland one that is fired immediately, not delayed until after i return from Lua
00:15.51Canislupusa timer event woulndt fire soon enough, would it?
00:15.54chuckg_My poor UI memory!
00:15.58cladhairechuckg_: WHy?  it doesn't work =)
00:15.59cladhairelol
00:16.02cladhaireor edit the code yourself.
00:16.03cladhairebut.. okay
00:16.04chuckg_It was blocking some of it!
00:16.04Legorolwhat timer event?
00:16.12AnduinLotharEasyRaid ftw
00:16.26AnduinLotharEasy raid is ownage
00:17.02cladhaireumm.. j
00:17.04cladhairek
00:17.11cladhairewhat do you do with the other 110 frames it makes?
00:19.25Canislupusso anyone want to help me troubleshoot ChatBox?  i am very dissapointed i havent found the problem yet...
00:22.15Tem_Do I have a right to be pissed off that a priest took our first Mishun'dare?
00:22.46AnduinLotharif item distribution makes you pissed you need to get off your ass
00:23.04Temyou know what I mean
00:25.27CanislupusI cant find a timer event to fire.... sorry
00:26.18WobinTem: No =P
00:26.25Temwhy?
00:26.35WobinTem: You have a right to be pissed that you didn't win it, sure
00:26.44Templease explain to me how a priest taking DPS gear from DPSers is helping the raid
00:26.46WobinBut not that someone else won it =P
00:27.05TemI wasn't even bidding on it
00:27.10WobinIt could easily be also a hps gear
00:27.16Temno
00:27.17TainIf the guild/raid's loot system allows him to do it then you have a right to be pissed, but not a reason.
00:27.20Temthere is better dps gear
00:27.21WobinIt doesn't specify damage spells
00:27.23Temer, healer gear
00:27.33Temyeah, that's a serious mistake, IMO
00:27.50TemIt pisses me off that there is no +damage gear
00:28.04Temonly +heal and damage so healers think they can take it from us
00:28.22TainIf loot priority isn't specified then you're simply accepting that it's going to happen.
00:28.41Tem*shudder*
00:29.29TainOf course I got being annoyed at any loot issues out of my system a good six years or so ago in EverQuest. :)

02:05.04yammygirlcodingguys. I logged in an alt, and suddenly , the char came transparent, and the model textures got all white. Any idea where is the bug? Relog doesnt work either...

02:05.46Endno, cached stuff
02:05.57yammygirlcodingwhat is stores? is harmless to delete then?
02:05.58Endit'll just recreate it
02:06.10Endit stores item/quest/mob/etc info from server
02:06.29Endif it doesn't have it, it'll just ask for the information again, which is fine
02:06.38yammygirlcodinghmmm
02:06.49End(it'll just ask the server I mean)
02:07.17yammygirlcodingjust delete and relog works, or should exit?
02:07.26AnduinLotharthese scare me: http://bikeboardusa.com/
02:07.29KirovThey're basically just cache files so that the game doesn't have to ask the server what something looks like or what kind of tooltip / price an item or beast has every time you see one.
02:08.12yammygirlcodinghmmm
02:08.15KirovAnduin - so, it's a razor that won't cause you to do a face plant when you hit a pebble?
02:08.25AnduinLotharyeah lol
02:08.44KirovOr a skateboard for the balance impared

02:08.49Endannd I went on the wrong zeppelin
02:08.54Endgoddammit
02:08.58EndI need to pay attention
02:09.16yammygirlcodinganyone is a GuildMaster over there? I'm getting many errors of 'temporarily guild error' when i change people ranks. pretty annoying :[
02:09.21KirovUnicycles need to come back
02:09.29Kirovnot that they were ever "in"
02:10.21Kirovyammy - If it's anything like mail errors, it's something that you're server is messing up with ... should be benign though
02:11.27yammygirlcodingit only happens when I try to change guidmates rankings. I change once, it works, but when I click again, it does 'temp guild error' again and again, and it backs to work when it wants :p
02:12.32yammygirlcodingthis patch came with litle bugs everywhere :( the realmlist is takin forever to load :(
02:14.36yammygirlcodingno fix for that, there is? :(

08:45.47AtogHi there.
08:46.20AtogI'm taking my first steps in writing a mod, can anyone point me to some good forums so I can research and browse?
08:47.10krka|worknot forums but.... wowwiki.com and lua.org are good
08:47.54MaldiviaDownload the Interface Kit, and look at the tutorial it includes
08:48.19Atogthanks. Maldivia, is that the blizzard one? The download link was broken for me.
08:48.37Maldiviayes, the Blizzard one
08:48.58Maldiviahttp://www.blizzard.com/support/wow/?id=aww01671p
08:49.58Atogthanks!

09:14.23AtogCan anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to find out how to stop whispered keywords from showing up in my chat log. I know CTraid does this, but I've looked through their code and can't figure it out.

09:18.25krka|workCTRaid is probably not the best addon to look at for a beginner :P
09:18.55krka|workbut here's how they do it basically (guessing a bit)
09:19.27krka|workthey intercept the event that the normal chat windows receives, inspects the message, only forwards to the original receiver if it's ok
09:20.37Atog*nod* that's what I suspected too.
09:21.09AtogI'll mess about with it some more, thanks.
09:26.51AnduinLotharoi, you're recommending ctraid?
09:26.59AnduinLotharwhy not look at something a lot simpler?
09:27.11Atogno, he recommend against it
09:27.17Atogrecommended, even
09:27.21Atogand with good reason :)
09:27.21krka|workl2r AnduinLothar :P
09:27.44Atogand I'm trying to find a simple mod that does this, but having no success.
09:27.46AnduinLotharmissed the negative
09:27.53AnduinLothardoes what?
09:28.09Atogremoves whispers from my chatlog, if they match my keyword
09:28.20AnduinLothary?
09:28.43AtogRight now, my mod works nice. It provides mob information on demand
09:29.05Atogpeople can whisper me !exp and if they're in my raid, I send them a list of abilities of their current target
09:29.32AnduinLotharoh, you want hedden chat comm?
09:29.39Atogindeed.
09:29.57Atogsince this stuff is useful to them, but not to me
09:30.16Atogso I'm trying to make both the keyword they whisper, and the stuff I send them, to not show up in my chatlog.
09:30.35AnduinLotharWell I wrote Sky for such things
09:30.50AnduinLotharit's embeddable and can send hidden messages
09:30.55AtogI'm not familiar with Sky.
09:31.01AtogLet me look up what it does
09:31.05Atogthanks a lot.
09:31.22AnduinLotharwww.wowwiki.com/Sky is the semi-complete docs
09:32.01AnduinLotharare you sending a lot of info or a little?
09:32.13Atogabout 3 lines max.
09:32.35Atogon request, so shouldn't be a problem.
09:32.55AnduinLotharSky can serialize and transmit lua tables for you if that's more convienient
09:33.22AnduinLotharSky.sendTable
09:33.43AtogI see, I'm looking at the information right now
09:33.47AnduinLotharor individual msgs with Sky.sendMessage
09:34.03AnduinLotharfor hidden whispers you would use SKY_PLAYER
09:34.07AnduinLotharas the 'system'
09:34.16AtogI see.
09:34.29AtogBut that would require the other persons to have my addon as well, wouldn't it?
09:34.49AnduinLotharyes. is that not what you're lookign for?
09:35.01Atogno.
09:35.15AnduinLotharwant it human readable?
09:35.29Atogyes, that's what it's supposed to do:
09:35.44zenzelezzdo you want it to be hidden only on your computer?
09:35.51Atogyes.
09:36.00AtogCTRaid does this:
09:36.06AnduinLotharthen you dont want sky
09:36.25Atogit does keyword inviting
09:36.51Atogbut if someone whispers you the keyword, it won't show up in your chatlog (to prevent you from being swamped by everyone)
09:37.08Atogwhich is the functionality I need.
09:37.50AnduinLotharah, ok. well there are a bunch of mods that do keyword inviting already...
09:38.10zenzelezzhe doesn't want keyword inviting
09:38.20zenzelezzhe wants to hide messages based on keyword
09:38.21AnduinLotharbut if you wanted to hide a chat message you would eithe hook CHatFrame_OnEvent or all 7 ChatFrame.AddMessage functions
09:38.22krka|workinvite people, not keywords!
09:38.45Atog*grin*
09:39.01Atogaha!
09:39.26AtogI'll try doing that.
09:40.01AtogI have no clue on how to do it yet, but now I know where to look! thanks, everyone.

13:33.03Legorolgood afternoon
13:33.12krka|workmorning
13:33.13LegorolI have a mathematical question about game mechanics.
13:33.23Cairenn|sleeperror
13:33.33LegorolThere are a number of abilities and effects in game that "increase attack speed by X%"
13:33.39Josh|Gonemorning
13:33.40Cairenn|sleepwho said anything about "good' ;p
13:33.44Legorolhow is this exactly interpreted? I can see two ways
13:33.51Legorolhi Cairenn|sleep, grumpy today? :)
13:34.18KirkburnHow is this even possible? http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2802
13:34.25Cairenn|sleepno, still 3/4 asleep and not at all ready to be vertical yet.  thinking more horizontal time may be a plan
13:34.37Legorolsounds good
13:34.40Legorolso i am thinking that this X% can mean two things:
13:34.48krka|workmy guess is that it's speed = 1 / ((1 / speed) * (1 + X))
13:34.49KirkburnToo ... much ... trigonometry ...
13:34.53Legorolthe "speed" value of the weapon is reduced by X%
13:34.57krka|workwhere x is a number between 0 and 1
13:35.02Legorolok let me digest that
13:35.15krka|workspeed = time between hits
13:35.18Legorolyes
13:35.23Legorol1/speed is hitrate
13:35.33Legorolso you are saying that it's the hitrate that's increased by X%
13:35.35krka|workyeah, and it's the hitrate that's get improved
13:35.39krka|worki guess :)
13:35.42krka|workbut it's just guessing
13:35.47Legorolthat was going to be one of my two guesses
13:36.11KirkburnSay attack speed was increased by 100% ... that would be twice the number of hits.
13:36.29Legorolhm, i agree with Kirkburn, that's what you would expect by common sense
13:36.32Kirkburn50% = 1.5 times the number I guess
13:36.34Legorolso they have to increase hitrate by X
13:36.53Legorolit's just so badly worded imo
13:36.53Cairenn|sleepKirkburn: I've no idea how it's even possible, since I don't mess around with things that are blatantly not permitted by WoW.  My question would be, "what on earth is ui.wow doing allowing it on their site since it is obviously against Blizzard's rules?"
13:37.06krka|workshould be easily tested lego
13:37.07KirkburnIndeedy
13:37.13Legorolgiven that there is a game mechanic that is labelled as "speed", it is silly to label an ability as increasing "speed" by X%
13:37.20Legorolconsidering they mean two different speeds
13:37.35Cairenn|sleepthis statement by the author not withstanding: "Finally, and most importantly, I am against the hacking of World of Warcraft. This mod complies with the ToS and does not make use of 3rd party applications."
13:37.36Legorolalthough the fault is with labelling a quantity that is actually a time interval as "speed" in the first place
13:38.38WobinDoes Curse Gaming check all uploads now?
13:38.52krka|workwhoa... weird
13:38.56krka|workthat can't work
13:39.00krka|workcan't cast spells without keypresses
13:39.03krka|workor mouseclicks
13:39.04Legorolit can with key generator
13:39.13WobinIt queues them up
13:39.14krka|worksays no thirdp arty?
13:39.20LegorolCairenn|sleep: the thing is *technically* all those mods totally abide by the ToU and EULA
13:39.20Wobinand then you hammer the keyboard and it does the actions
13:39.24Legorolalbeit not the spirit of the game
13:39.31Legorolkrka: it does not *include* a 3rd party app
13:39.36Legorolit's up to you to find one i guess ;-)
13:39.41WobinIt's like that movie they made with the autowalk addon
13:39.42KirkburnI PMed Rushster about it to say it's rather dubious
13:39.42LegorolThis is a problematic situation
13:39.46Cairenn|sleepLegorol: that as may be, how the hell does it work "within the rules"
13:39.52Legorolthe AddOn in and of itself does not allow you to bot
13:39.54WobinWhere they hooked up a fan to bash at the spacebar key to get the thing moving
13:39.56Legorolit needs an extra component
13:40.01KirkburnIt allows botting though
13:40.09Legorolit's part of a bot, not a complete bot
13:40.11Legorolit has a missing part
13:40.13KirkburnOr perhaps, it facilited it
13:40.17Kirkburn*facilitates
13:40.23krka|workand if you disable this, do you have to disable all whispercasting?
13:40.23Legorolthe user only violates the rules when he adds the missing part

13:40.40Cairenn|sleepreading the comments is interesting
13:40.47Legorolit's a bit like selling a car to someone without a licence
13:40.53Legorolunfortunately, that's legal
13:40.56KirkburnPerhaps, but the problem is, those kinds of addons are what makes the UI more restrictive
13:41.03Legorolif the person drives without a licence, then they break the law
13:41.04Cairenn|sleepKirkburn: that too
13:41.13Legoroli agree
13:41.16Legoroli also am not naive
13:41.25Legoroli completely understand that this addon is against the *intent* Blizzard had
13:41.28Legorolthat is clear as day
13:41.51krka|workif for one applaud the addon for being so controversial
13:41.57krka|works/if/i/
13:42.36Legorolkrka: yeah we all know you love controversial addons ;-)
13:42.37Thraehttp://pastebin.ca/75704 <-- am I stupid today, what's wrong with this array?
13:42.37KirkburnWhy?
13:42.51LegorolKirkburn: because it always forces blizzard to take a step to limit or clarify grey areas
13:42.53KirkburnControversial addons ruin the UI for other authors
13:43.00Legorolyes they do, to some extent
13:43.06Legorolbut they also force clarification
13:43.27KirkburnYes, but if they didn't exist there wouldn't be a need for clarification :P
13:43.45Cairenn|sleepyeah, because goodness forbid that folks use common sense /sarcasm off
13:43.48krka|workthis forces blizzard to consider stuff like whispercasting
13:44.04ThraeTo jump into this discussion, Legorol, doesn't the complete Khaos include at least one controversial addon?
13:44.07krka|workthis one is pretty difficult to stop i guess
13:44.12LegorolCairenn|sleep: i'm afraid i don't quite agree with you on this one
13:44.15KirkburnThrae, which?
13:44.18Legorolpeople will never be able to use common sense
13:44.21krka|workmaybe by adding delays to chat / limit chat frequency
13:44.35Legorolthe clearer Blizzard is, and the tighter the control is, the better it is for the masses
13:44.52Legorolbtw, it is clear as day the author knows what a fine line he is threading
13:45.01Kebinusanhow does twoboxing hurt the masses exactly
13:45.12Legoroland he is doing exactly what you'd expect: defending it by saying it uses same mechanics as decursive
13:45.13Kebinusanfor the sake of argument here
13:45.16Legorolwhich is a fair point
13:45.26krka|workThrae, wrong syntax
13:45.28Legorolif this clonebot forces Blizz to finally do something about all Decursive type addons, i'll be very happy
13:45.39krka|workyou need ["blabla"] = instead of "blabla" =
13:45.41LegorolKebinusan: it's not twoboxing that's unfair
13:45.43Legorolit's botting :)
13:46.07KirkburnGenius name he chose
13:46.09ThraeKebinusan: Because a MMORPG shouldn't be about how much money you can invest in it, at least not WoW.
13:46.14Kirkburn"CloneBOT" :/
13:46.15Kebinusanas a warlock I hate decursive and the current mechancis that allow them to jsut spam it and not waste mana if there is nothign to dispel
13:47.07Thraekrka|work: Oh yeah, stupid me. This is what I get for coding until 3am.
13:47.11KirkburnBacking up Thrae's point ... it is a stated aim by the WoW devs that the wealth of a player should not affect a character in-game
13:47.12krka|worki will start naming all my addons bot and/or hack
13:47.29krka|workFAIAP -> SyntaxHackBot
13:48.01Legorolkrka, excellent idea!
13:48.04ThraeKebinusan: But it is true that some bosses seem to be balanced FOR addons like Decursive, or players with VERY low latency and pretty quick reflexes.
13:48.25Legorolactually, that change Blizzard made surprised me..
13:48.29krka|workThrae, took me a while to catch the error :)
13:48.44Legoroldidn't they change it in a recent patch so that if you try to disple and there is nothing to dsiple you dont waste mana?
13:48.48krka|workyeah
13:48.54Legorolisn't that completely silly to do?
13:48.54KirkburnThey did?
13:48.55zenzelezzwell, they wouldn't be bosses if they were pushovers
13:48.57Legorolit makes decursive better
13:49.07LegorolKirkburn: yeah i think 1.8, 1.9 or 1.10
13:49.10krka|workbut it makes non-decursive user much better
13:49.21Legorolhmm
13:49.26krka|workthe gap gets smaller with that fix, imo
13:49.28Kebinusanbut hit hurts debuff classes
13:49.32Legoroli guess decursive can already coded to not decurse if not needed
13:49.36krka|workexactly
13:49.38Legoroli see your point
13:49.44krka|worki assumed it was
13:49.51Thraezenzelezz: We're talking lag and reflexes though, those aren't necessarily up to the player.
13:49.56Kebinusandots need an ability to resist dispel
13:50.08Legorolthat won't solve the problem imo
13:50.15Kebinusandebuffs in general actually
13:50.16zenzelezzThrae: I saw your point, but don't agree that it's all about that
13:50.37Legorolbtw, am I the only one that has this image of Blizz game designers sitting in their office for the past year and a half, scratching their heads:
13:50.44Legorol"omg, what have we done, what will we do about auto-casting"?
13:50.57Legoroli mean buff, decusrive and other addons of the type
13:51.04Legoroli think they are in deep trouble :)
13:51.44LegorolThis addons alter the balance of the game, and at the moment nothing they can do about it
13:51.48krka|workit's their own fault for making a game system that is so easily automated, to some extent
13:51.55Kebinusanhere is a good example of an addon I thought was a very creative in its mechanic and very helpful to people without dual monitors:  http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/addons-3696-1-bgswitch.html
13:51.57krka|workother parts of the game are far less easy to automize
13:52.02ThraeOne fix we could have to help deter Decurisve would be to make the especially dangerous Boss PvE debuffs have a second or two to start taking effect.
13:52.07krka|workthere needs to be bigger tradeoffs for your actions
13:52.09zenzelezzI suppose I shouldn't be saying this in a mod development channel; but I'm the sort of player who prefers to keep things to a minimum - especially where mods do most of your dirty work
13:52.28Cairenn|sleepzenzelezz: why on earth shouldn't you say that in here?
13:52.43zenzelezzbecause many people in here make just that sort of mods; or so I thought
13:52.58ThraeThen the argument that Decursive mods are "necessary" would be less effective, as even the slower players could have time to dispel them.
13:53.01krka|worki only make mods that blizz would disapprove of
13:53.24Cairenn|sleepdoesn't mean that they don't/won't appreciate the opportunity for a discussion on the topic
13:53.34KebinusanI mostly use mods that replace ui elements that blizzard has no idea how to make properly
13:53.37Thraezenzelezz: I think there's only one or two in here that make "questionable" mods :)
13:53.50Cairenn|sleepanyway, back in a while /wave
13:53.53krka|workonly one or two? really?
13:54.18zenzelezzThrae: probably not a majority at least ;) I just don't like starting arguments
13:54.25zenzelezz(I prefer joining)
13:54.28ThraeAlthough it depends on your definition of "questionable". Like I don't find "CorkFu" at all "questionable", which scans your party for what buffs and debuffs they need and lets you click on an icon to give it to them.
13:54.34krka|worki prefer ending them :)
13:54.56zenzelezzarguments never end, they just pause
13:55.00zenzelezzand recharge
13:55.07Kebinusanwell the question is where do you draw the line
13:55.14zenzelezzaye
13:55.25ThraeOne icon per buff or debuff needed per party or raid member
13:55.40ThraeI don't use the "pick the first need" option, I don't like that level of automation.
13:55.42Kebinusantake something like servitude, that allows you just click a button to use the right pet action for a given situation.  This could just be seen as simplifying hotkeys
13:55.51Kebinusanala decursive
13:56.15Kebinusanor something like manaconserve that would cancel a spell at the last possible second, something many of my guilds healers came to rely upon
13:56.37zenzelezzgenerally I'm not opposed to that sort of mods/help
13:56.39krka|workpeople could have problems with gatherer, ctra, auctioneer, mapcoords mods etc
13:56.45krka|workthey all give advantages
13:56.49zenzelezzmy Taunt macro checks if the target is already on me before casting Taunt
13:56.52Kebinusanhell thottbot
13:56.52krka|workeven atlas
13:56.59Kebinusanallakzham
13:57.02Thraezenzelezz: Yeah, that's about my limit too.
13:57.33ThraeWell krka|work, if you go down that road, we could say that we should all play like idiots because idiot players exist and pay for this game too.
13:57.52krka|worknot really the same thing
13:57.53ThraeI think it's more sensible to just say mods that give extreme levels of automation are questionable
13:57.56zenzelezzto be honest, I think many of my "automation mods" views are highly skewed, seeing how I've never played any class past 15 except a warrior
13:58.08krka|workproviding too much information is also a big help
13:58.14zenzelezzThrae: aye, that's what I meant :)
13:58.34Thraekrka|work: Thottbot is really just a collection of information from players, the same information you can get in-game with enough social connections...
13:58.38krka|worki'd claim that giving players too much information is worse than automating
13:58.43krka|workway more powerful / useful atleast
13:58.56Kebinusanheh threatmeter?
13:59.07zenzelezzthat depends on the type of information
13:59.15Kebinusandamageters is more harmful to my raids then it is helpful most of the time
13:59.25krka|workgatherer / map coords / thottbot / et.c.
13:59.31krka|workdamagemeter doesn't give any advantage
13:59.37ThraeKebinusan: "OMG LOOK AT THAT CRIT / MY DPS!!!11oneelven" ?
13:59.45zenzelezzmy only "threat" meter is other people's health bars
13:59.46zenzelezz=D
14:00.13Kebinusanyeah thrae, I do run swstats most of the time in raids, simply so I can check and see things like, was that healer healing, etc
14:00.52zenzelezzdamage meters aren't really bad, as long as you don't share the data with the rest
14:00.56Kebinusanwell at least it came in useful for that, most of the time I dont check the damn thing it just eats up memory
14:02.58Kebinusanmy biggest irk is boss mods at the moment... too many people rely on them as gods law instead of a little reminder
14:03.08Kebinusanat least in my guild it seems that way
14:03.41zenzelezzthat's not very different from a bad PUG though
14:03.49Kebinusan<-- cries when someone doesnt watch the giant pupil powering up a dark glare
14:04.07zenzelezzdoesn't matter if I say "attack the small dragons first" every five minutes after we enter UBRS, people still hit everything else
14:04.34Kebinusantrue enough
14:04.45Kebinusanhey I pay my 15 bucks a month, dont tell me how to play :-P
14:04.45zenzelezzbut I agree with your point
14:05.11krka|worksure, you can play however you want, but don't expect to play with any raiding guild with that attitude :P
14:05.24krka|worksoloing at level 60 probably sucks :P
14:05.25zenzelezzjust had a DPS warrior trying to teach me how to tank, telling me to use Sunder... apparently he doesn't know what the Sunder Armor icon looks like, or he didn't even check if it was on the mob
14:05.57krka|workmaybe he disabled debuff icons, because those are practically cheating!
14:06.00Kebinusanheh we had a warrior who couldnt figure out how to taunt ebonroc
14:06.11Kebinusan:-/ longest fight ever
14:06.26zenzelezzis Ebonroc special? Never been to BWL
14:06.37Josh|Gonehave to use a taunt rotation
14:06.38ThraeWarriors that can't taunt == very common =/
14:06.39Josh|Goneotherwise he heals
14:06.46zenzelezzaha
14:06.49Kebinusanwell he puts a debuff on the main tank that heals him every time he does damage to the target
14:07.00Kebinusanso if you dont do a taunt rotation... yeah bad thigns
14:07.10zenzelezzthe DPS warrior couldn't even hold his add off of the rogue in Drakkisath's room... guess he didn't have (or know about) Mocking Blow
14:07.13JoshBorkemy guild ended up doing a 2 tank taunt rotation last time =X
14:07.31Kebinusanugh that had to be fun
14:07.40zenzelezztwo rotations?
14:07.51ThraeEver played in a Level 40+ PUG with a Warrior that never learned Taunt or Sunder Armour?
14:07.54JoshBorkewe started with 5 :-X
14:07.55ThraeYeah, that was fun.
14:08.02zenzelezzJoshBorke: ouch
14:08.11JoshBorkewhat about a ST run with a tank who left his shield in the bank?
14:08.29zenzelezz"I do more damage with a 2h!!"
14:08.34Kebinusanhow about scholo with someone who stands in the disease cloud
14:08.42Kebinusanoh I remember when that thing actually used to hurt
14:08.44Kebinusanthose were the days
14:08.54zenzelezzstill hurts in the "right" teams
14:09.01ThraeNo Taunt + No Sunder Armour <<<<<< No Shield ;)
14:09.13ThraeEven a Druid is a better tank then THAT.
14:09.38JoshBorkelol
14:09.41zenzelezzI'm so damn glad they fixed the ability-lock on fear... seeing your team wipe at Drakkisath because you can't use anything sort of sucked
14:09.48JoshBorkeyea, i had to tell him to taunt =/
14:10.01KebinusanIve just taken to kiting drak
14:10.14Kebinusanits sort of a game to see how low I can get him before I need to run him back
14:10.49ThraeIn fact, I would say the average 30-55 Druid is better then the average 30-55 Warrior because even Feral Druids will learn how to heal, and therefore watch the status of party members.
14:11.01JoshBorkeyea :-)
14:11.11Kebinusan<3 tanks who pull when the healer is oom
14:11.13ThraeAll the armour, skills, and abilities in the world don't mean diddly if you don't know how to use them.
14:11.35ThraeExcept for Shamans, they're easy mode :D
14:13.35*** join/#wowi-lounge kaiden (n=kaiden@63.251.174.3)
14:14.28kaidenbtw Kirkburn, that guys mod that you posted about the legality of, completely legal, blizzard has already stated that as long as he's not using third party apps, and everything requires someone there to push a button and or the use of a nostromo then all is legal
14:14.44KirkburnDid I say it was illegal?
14:15.06KirkburnI said it was against the spirit of the game, would be frowned upon by the devs, and will likely result in a more restrictive UI
14:15.07kaidenblizzard wont touch the nostromo thing because far too many people use it and they just state that if you are caught not at your computer while it's turned on there will be hell to pay :)
14:15.37kaideni dont see how they can restrict the ui anymore than they already have and keep it functional
14:15.38KirkburnNostromo?
14:16.44KirkburnBig point here is that, yes, if you're not at your computer, you will be banned
14:16.59KirkburnCloneBot facilitates that
14:17.34KirkburnIf the players are fully in charge of their other char, then I see no problem
14:18.14kaidenclonebot does not make them any less in control than whispercast / decursive / smartbuff / quickheal / healer / genesis
14:18.19zenzelezzsooo... what's Nostromo?
14:18.40kaideni can go on and on, all clonebot does, is allow a nostromo auto key to be spammed for a simple interface that does all of the things those addons do seperately
14:18.58kaidennostromo is a programmable keypad like the g15 logitech keyboard
14:19.04KirkburnOkies
14:19.06zenzelezzaha
14:19.13kaidena 15 button device that allows you to do things like, turn a key on and have it repeatedly press until you turn it off
14:19.26krka|workclonebut could forward chat messages to the master :)
14:19.29krka|workand do replying
14:19.33KirkburnAs I said, if the player is not fully in charge of the alt ...
14:19.34krka|workthat would rock
14:19.45kaideni use it on my priest, yet i'm always at the computer so i dont see anything wrong with it, it helps me play my rogue and priest at the same time

14:20.55kaideni have a button on my nostromo programmed to function as a shift right click so i can just mouseover and press that button to loot / skin :) (oh yeah saves 1 mouse click but meh.. it's nice :))
14:21.16KirkburnIn any case, my points stilll stand (against spirit of the game, devs unhappy, restrict UI)
14:21.35Thraekaiden: But would you quit the game if you couldn't effectively play two accounts at the same time anymore?
14:21.44kaidenif it was against the spirit of the game it wouldn't be possible, whispercast has been around for EVER and blizzard has never said anything negative about it
14:21.55kaidenThrae, honestly, yes
14:22.04KirkburnDecursive is against the spririt of the game, AND Blizzard dislike it
14:22.22KirkburnThey have stated as much, and wish to disable it somehow
14:22.24kaidenthere are far many more games out there that dont require me to play two characters that are nearly as fun
14:22.38kaidenwhereas in wow... if you dont have a priest at 60 with you, there's not much you can do without alot of downtime
14:22.53KirkburnWell I completely disagree with that
14:23.06KirkburnBut I'm a warlock =)
14:23.12kaidenthen you dont count
14:23.13kaiden:P
14:23.17kaidenoverpowered lock *frown*
14:23.41kaidenwarlocks rock, wish i had made one in the beginning but oh well there's always time
14:24.23kaidenthen again on top of it all, i'm a button masher, every class i play i make button scripts for to do everything from a central button
14:24.36kaidenmost people think that makes you bad at a class,  i think it makes me have to worry less about screwing up
14:24.40ThraeFeral Druids basically have no downtime either, although now that Druids have base Innervate, they might not have downtime either.
14:24.41krka|workyeah me too
14:24.43kaidenand more about the numbers floating above the mobs head
14:25.15Kirkburnkaiden, well, tbh, you're not making tactical decisions ... although you could describe your scripts as tactics
14:25.23zenzelezzI had a weird issue with CTRA today... somehow the channel broadcasts didn't seem to go through, and/so main tanks didn't get passed along either
14:25.32kaidenif they are situational i dont see how you could have anymore tactics put into it
14:25.47zenzelezzusing 1.538; I know at least one of the other people who tried it also had latest
14:25.52kaidenyou can make them so precise that before a real human ever even saw the beginning it would have done what it needed to
14:26.34Cidezenzelezz: get 1.539
14:26.42zenzelezzalready a new one? :-o
14:26.53zenzelezzbut I guess I will, thanks
14:27.22kaidenCide, btw, thanks a ton for the i guess it's an aggro / regeneration monitor?
14:27.42Cidehmm? :)
14:27.46kaidenthe little <<< and >>> :) my raid last night noticed it after updating and all thought it was really cool
14:27.54kaidenbeside the players names
14:28.24Cidehehe, not sure what you mean actually :)
14:28.39Cidecould you describe the behavior?
14:28.44kaidenthe little red <<<'s that appear whenever someone has aggro or is taking damage, not 100% sure what it monitors
14:28.57Cidedon't think that's ctra actually
14:29.05Cidebut I'm glad you liked it!
14:29.10kaidenhrm?.... wonder what could be adding that to the windows then
14:29.12Kasoha ha
14:29.18kaidenit add's them directly to the ctra panels
14:29.21Kebinusansquishy does that I think
14:29.24kaidenohhhh
14:29.25Kebinusanif you run it
14:29.27kaidenok ;)
14:29.37Kirkburnhehe
14:29.40kaidenwell thank you squishy and cide :P
14:29.46Cideyou're welcome!
14:29.49Gngsk<3
14:30.00kaidennow the question is.. what the hell does it monitor
14:30.02kaidenlol
14:30.32kaideni noticed they appear when the person has aggro, but when they go green and >>> i'm assuming that's health regeneration and no aggro
14:32.07kaidenCide, one slight problem is with the ctmastermod placement of the minimap button, for those of us that move it, it moves fine and looks fine but when you click the button it tries to rehook to the minimap and gets all stretched out and weird lookin
14:34.10Cidehmm, I'll see if I can fix that
14:34.34JoshBorke( kaiden ): when it's green that means a heal is incoming
14:34.51JoshBorke<><><> means they have aggro and a heal

17:31.57Kasothanks
17:33.11Dagenyou know how loot link has some new feature to clean up invalid entries? I ran that on my database and I think it nuked a lot of valid ones :P
17:33.27Kasoits a silly addon tbh, it base 64 encodes all the channel traffic, thus increasing traffic by like 40% and yet doing not much as the decoder is built into the addon and would take someone 10sec of coding to translate the channel to cleartext
17:33.49Mikk1hahaha base64
17:33.53ShadowedThis sounds like a bad case of "Doing it because you can" when it's pointless beyond reason
17:34.02Mikk1yeah, like how HTTP Basic auth is "Encrypted" according to various web sites =P
17:34.29ThraeDagen: Try KC_Items, it's got a pretty good database system along with pruning.
17:34.37Dagenoh ya?
17:34.40ShadowedKaso: I recommend doing something to let you read all of the channels, and use it until you can get them to change it
17:34.46DagenI heard of it, but never tried it out
17:34.53ThraeDagen: KC_Items database is usually 1/10th the size of LootLink, along with its memory usage.
17:35.17ThraeKC_Items also includes Auctioneer-style data too, and Auctioneer-style functionality.
17:35.33Dagenthing is, I already have a decent sized loot link database.. I'd hate to start over again =(
17:35.57Dagenunless you can import the items from lootlink somehow? =D
17:36.22ThraeKaso: Unless you obsfucate the Lua script itself, you should just use ROT-13 encryption.
17:36.31Dagenbecause I have stuff in my lootlink you just dont see every day...like game master's robes!
17:36.38KasoShadowed: Ha, well its really designed to keep external snoopers out i think we're free to view other classes channels, but i was thinking of re-coding it so that it uses some sort of private key encrpytion hiding the key in the Guild Info tab and then sending the code to the gmaster, he'd be stupid not to take my system which would be A) More secure and b) Less traffic
17:36.50ThraeDagen: Haha, don't know if it has the ability to import from LootLink.
17:37.21ThraeDagen: Ask Kaelten, he made it.
17:37.44Dagenoh, cool
17:38.02ShadowedKaso: I've never really found external people viewing the channel to be an issue, you can always just add a password or worst case somebody joins the channel you can always ban them from it.
17:38.19DagenI'll grab it anyway I guess
17:38.33ThraeThough adding a feature like "import your data from xx mod!" is always iffy, since it might upset the original coder.
17:38.37KasoI've never noticed it being a problem either, but apparently he must be the paranoid sort
17:38.57ThraeKaso: He probably uses it as his personal group cyber channel ;)
17:39.00ShadowedIt's amusing that he chose base64 to prevent that though
17:39.08Kasohaha
17:40.19Kasoive never really looked into encoding or encrpyting much before, but as far as i can see base 64 has no more beifits than a ROT system but increases the traffic a fair bit
17:40.41ShadowedCan you even base64 in WoW?
17:41.32Kasohttp://pastebin.ca/75861
17:41.38Kasothats what he did
17:42.09Shadowedwell he must have been bored
17:44.56Mikk1The one benefit (or problem) with base64 encoding the network traffic is that you're able to insert color codes and have them displayed at the other end
17:45.06Mikk1Normally, the game would kick you out if you tried that over chat
17:45.12Elkano\o/ semi finals
17:46.01ShadowedRandom color text!
17:46.11Kasoaah
17:47.52Kasolemme test sending a colour text down the channel
17:48.19IndustrialNeed help getting ym hp bar to actually work. http://pastebin.ca/75863
17:48.25Industrialits not doing anything atm
17:48.26Industrial:P
17:55.35Kasoha colour codes work, that owns
18:01.18Mikk1Another thing will be that you're able to link items that the server hasn't seen yet without getting kicked out.
18:01.30Mikk1The PROBLEM is that the server won't be helpful and pass item data to the  client
18:01.42Endwill it work while drunk?
18:01.49Mikk1So if you're sending an unseen link to someone who doesn't have it in his cache.... urmmm...
18:01.54Industrialanyone?
18:01.59Mikk1End: drunk doesn't affect regular channels does it?
18:02.10EndI think it does, not sure though
18:02.12Mikk1err numbered channels i mean
18:02.19ShadowedMikk1: But you can't send whole links to custom channels anyway, just the name
18:02.20Endiirc, ctraid has a bunch of code to compensate for that
18:02.39Endreplacing s with $ or something like that mostly
18:02.47Mikk1Shadowed: With this system, you can.

18:41.14Dagenbleh.. I need a unique id of some sort based on player name and server name, preferrably a number :P
18:41.22zenzelezzwhy?
18:42.07Dagenarent numbers more efficient to use as keys into databases?
18:42.55Fanookyes, but we don't have access to any numerical ID WoW happens to be using
18:43.01DagenI dunno, I guess I could just append the realm name to a player name and use that
18:43.08Dagenyeah, thats basically what I was wondering
18:43.37DagenI didnt know if there was a way to get a numerical ID or not
18:43.39KasoConvert each charater of the realm and player to the char code and use that
18:43.44kergothDagen: no, numbers arent much more efficient for lua tables, if they are at all.
18:43.44Kaso:>
18:44.28Cidehash tables are larger than "array"-style tables
18:44.38Dagenwell, its not exactly the lua table I'm concerned about... all the data I'm storing from the lua tables is going to be imported into a mysql dataase

18:45.02kergothCide: well yeah.  i got the impression he meant lookup time, for some reason

18:51.34Dagenyeah probably right
18:51.49kergothhave a question for the rogues in the chan.. my 55 rogue is currently spec'd like http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=f0ecoxZhfi00ezZV0x , combat daggers, focused on high white damage for raids.. but i'm thinking about switching to a seal fate build, ala http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=fheMoxxotGcZV0x0b .. without precision, probably a bit less damage output in raids, but more versatile..  opinions?
18:52.03Dagenthing is I already set up my table to use numerical IDs and I just dont wanna change it :P
18:52.47Mikk1See? SQL is evil ;)
18:53.38DagenI use seal fate for my rogue.. from what I heard from other rogues, combat daggers requires really good gear/daggers to be effective
18:53.44Mikk1yes
18:53.47Mikk1epic daggers
18:53.56Mikk1blue dagger white damage blows
18:54.02Mikk1you want swords for that, really
18:54.55kergothhmm, makes sense.  i think i'd like a seal fate build, quick combo point generation.  i think i'll miss dagger spec and blade flurry, but..
18:54.56TainI still prefer swords for raids.
18:55.25TainBlade flurry is mainly usefull levelling in my opinion, very dangeorus to your health in raids
18:55.27Mikk1swords work well in 40mans since you can keep SnD up all the time, etc
18:55.39TainI aboslutely love Blade Flurry mind you, but wouldn't use it in raids.
18:55.40Mikk1though daggers omfgpwn at Vaelstrasz =)

18:56.29kergothi'm a troll... and i just looove blade flurry + berserking + s&d
18:56.36Mikk1haha
18:56.52TainLevelling Blade FLurry is incomparible.
18:56.56TainCan just destroy stuff.
18:57.02TainAnd 60 second cooldown?  That's nuts.
18:57.08kergothyeah, can easily pull and annihilate multiple mobs at a time with it
18:57.12kergothspeeds grinding
18:57.20DagenI levelled my rogue with an ambush/backstab build
18:57.22Mikk1from what i've been told by a certain rogue in our guild that to date has blown something like 1500 gold trying different specs, seal fate is mostly a PvP thing. not so great for PvE
18:57.45Dagenwas still the easiest character I've had to level
18:58.01kergothhmmmm
18:58.22Dagenseal fate is good for pve if you dont have really good gear though
18:59.25DagenI always thought ambush/backstab was good for pvp?
18:59.49Mikk1did anyone say otherwise? o.O
19:00.04kergothhehe
19:00.24Dagenwell, I noticed with my seal fate build anyways that my ambushes arent that great
19:01.00Dagencause I there was some talent I couldnt get...improved ambush or something..or maybe it was a combination of things
19:01.15kergothhow so? not enough points in imp ambush? or just missing the combo point generation from initiative?
19:01.18kergothah
19:01.37DagenI'm logging in to check what it was
19:01.55Dagenyeah I couldnt get improved ambush
19:02.06kergothi need to stop switching damn characters and actually make one get some decent gear
19:02.10kergothi get bored tooe asy :)
19:02.35Dagenalthough if I took my 3 points out of precision I could probably get it
19:03.19Dagenbut I was going for a dagger pve build with my half-assed gear :P
19:03.30Dagenso I wanted more +hit
19:03.52Dagensince ambush isnt too useful in pve
19:04.01kergoththats what i'm going for too, dagger pve.  i've got other chars that are pvp focused
19:04.41DagenI was originally going to make my rogue total pvp, but I came to the realization I dont like to pvp that much
19:04.59DagenI get bored of it really quick
19:05.57Dagenso instead my rogue is kind of a 20 man instance runner/farmer
19:06.12Dagenand occassionally MC
19:07.16DagenI focus mainly on my mage though.. my mage is the one with all the good gear :P

19:14.53Temit's also pretty important in WSG and AB

19:16.52ShadowedIt's not even a huge advantage, if you're in the 60 bracket you are basically ineffective if you have a non-epic mount :p

19:26.03zenzelezzshould be enough
19:26.46Iriel20 quests requires choices or planning
19:26.48ShadowedWas a post from one of the CM's about that a few months back
19:27.02TainAh it would be nice, but I do find as it is I hang on to quests longer than I should rather than just do them.
19:27.04TainAlthough!
19:27.04IrielWhy do so many people find the need to plan or choose a BAD thing
19:27.14SinePiplanning something that one isn't always supposed to know.
19:27.15TainWhat'd I'd like to see is maybe a separate Elite quest list
19:27.38CairennIriel: because people are inherently lazy
19:27.50IrielWould you like a 'give me xp' button, so you dont have to fight things you dont know how to fight, or explore places you dont know the details of?
19:28.07SinePiIf I play my first char, I'd rather gather everything I can and do whatever I find on my way, rather than go out of my way to plan.
19:28.12Cairennand want everything handed to them on a silver platter, already cut into bite sized pieces
19:28.30Dagenwell at level 60 you tend to have a lot of random quests in your log...like CH quests, and now all these LHC quests
19:28.36krkathe problem imo, is that you tend to end up with 20 red quests in different parts of the world
19:28.50krkaand you dont want to abandon them because you'll forget to pick them up again
19:28.53Dagenits quests that you kind of always want on you
19:29.36Dagenespecially the new quests for LHC where you have to pick up random stuff for signets
19:30.06Dagenyou want to always have all those quests on you so that if you're out grinding somewhere you can also gather whatever items drop in that area for those quests
19:30.09TainTo me it's that you have to pick up say 5 quests for a specific instance, but the quest givers are in different zones.
19:30.26TainAnd if you don't do that instance immediately they sit there until you can.
19:30.36TainNever mind if you end up trying to do a different instance instead.
19:30.40Dagenyeah, thats another issue
19:30.46TainNow you have no normal quest spots.
19:30.53Dagenis that they dont put all of the quests for an instance in one spot
19:31.10TainI regularly abandon quests if I know that I can get back to the quest giver easily during the course of things.
19:31.17SinePicombine that with being invited to an instance by rushing people and it gets worse.
19:31.17Dagenso if you decide to go do a particular instance and you dont have the quests on you, you have to run all around the world picking them up
19:31.29Dagenright
19:31.47SinePi"would you like to go to _____?" "yeah, once I get my quests for it!" "fuck you" ^^;
19:32.43TainIt would be slightly better if all quests can be shared, but some still don't
19:33.07SinePistill, chained quests would look silly shared.
19:33.37zenzelezzmake it share the highest part that the member on the receiving end hasn't done
19:33.43Dagenon my main, I've done most quests but its still mostly full of quests for getting these new items where you need like x amount of random tokens to get some piece of armor
19:34.03Dagenor these quests where you have to gather 20 of blah to get some token
19:34.10Dagenand I have like 5/20
19:34.29Dagencause I'm too lazy to get the last 15 :P
19:36.11Cairennnot you guys :p
19:36.50Cairennalthough if you wish to title yourselves as stupid user, then far be it for me to interfer

20:04.56krkawhy would you need that? O_o
20:05.10kremontei have a table of the cyrillic alphabet, and i'm converting it all to \###\###
20:05.32kremontei'm probably doing it some ridiculously hard way but i take the hexadecimal quadruplet (which i've only found in urls lawl)
20:05.36kremonteand converting it to binary
20:05.44kremonteto get the digits ._.
20:06.04ckknightand Ace2 is all fully documented, for you naysayers
20:06.13kremontenay i say!
20:06.18Endsay I nay!
20:06.22ThraeNeeeeeiiiggghhh
20:06.28ckknightfeel free to take a look at http://wiki.wowace.com/index.php/Ace2#Documentation
20:06.36ckknighttutorials there too
20:06.37krkahmm... AceDB looks interesting... what kind of queries can you do?
20:06.41ckknightit is mostly monkey-themed
20:06.59ckknightkrka, sadly, since WoW doesn't provide SQL-like capabilities, it's just intelligent SV handling
20:07.15krkawell, of course wow doesn't
20:07.19kremonteso, anyone got any ideas? for a hexadecimal quadruplet of a unicode char? ._.
20:07.19krkawhich is why you have to do it yourself :)
20:07.50ckknightyea, but it's like `self.db.char.value` to access a value for your char
20:07.51ckknightand such
20:08.54ckknightbut it's all raw or on-demand, so as fast/memory-efficient as possible
20:09.38ckknightone of the coolest things is AceOO, which provides a full-featured object-oriented framework
20:09.40krkahm
20:09.53krkafaster than MySavedVariable.value?
20:10.18ckknighttechnically no, but that doesn't provide you with the features that AceDB does
20:10.38ckknightsuch as char-specific, class-specific, realm-specific, account-specific, and profile-specific handling
20:10.59krkaMySavedVariable.class["priest"].value? :)
20:11.10ckknightif you do that, krka, AceDB is faster.
20:11.28krkareally?
20:11.35ckknightsince self.class.value makes less indexes than MySavedVariable.class.priest.value
20:11.40ckknightand it's not accessing a global
20:11.43ckknightso faster there, too
20:11.45krkaeven if i first do local profile = MySavedVariable.class["priest"]
20:11.52ckknightyou can do that
20:12.00ThraeAnd you can always do local dbclass = self.class
20:12.02ckknightbut you can also do the same with local profile = self.db.class
20:12.12krkayeah, so equally fast then
20:12.13ckknightso then it's equal.
20:14.00ThraeAnd what's good about Ace2 is that if you don't need stuff like AceDB, then you don't have to include it.
20:14.45ThraeLike I don't think people will be asking me for complex profile options with TinyTip -- you normally like what you see with a tooltip and stick to it.
20:14.47krkainteresting stuff... but it seems like it mostly implements trivial stuff
20:15.07krkai presume AceLocale removes all unused languages?
20:15.35Thraekrka: Trivial to you maybe ;)
20:15.37kergothi wouldnt consider hooking trivial, nor a sane object model, nor..
20:15.42kergoth:P
20:15.54krkahooking _is_ trivial though
20:16.11TainYeah, trivially easy to cause problem.s
20:16.14krka1) make a reference to the original, 2) overwrite it 3) have your function call the original
20:16.41krkait's like 2-4 extra lines per hooked function
20:17.05TainRight.  And if you're the only one ever hoooking that function, no problem.
20:17.15ThraeAce2 is kinda like a C# vs pure C -- sure, you could do everything in C, but C# makes certain things a whole lot easier.
20:17.17krkaeven without that, no problem
20:17.45ThraeI should say, the argument with Ace2 being trivial is like C# vs pure C.
20:17.49AnduinLotharAceLocale?
20:18.12krkaTain, can you give an example of where that method would cause problems?
20:18.53Temkrka, it won't
20:18.59Temit's just slightly more hassle
20:19.06TemI'm spoiled to AceHook
20:19.13TemI don't like to hook things without it
20:19.19kergothisnt it the unhooking that causes problems, not the hooking?
20:19.25Temyes
20:19.27TainUnhooking definitely.
20:19.33ThraeJust like Lua has all these conventions to make things easier without you totally understanding how it does it, Ace2 provides the same.
20:20.33ThraeIf you know everything about everything Ace2 can provide, then you probably don't need it.
20:20.39TainCertainly using AceHooks (which even currently doesn't require Ace proper) makes things nice because you can see who else is also using it.
20:21.17ThraeBut coding WoW addons shouldn't require such in-depth knowledge to be efficient, in my opinion...let the optimization fanatics have their fun with that ;)
20:24.06ckknightback
20:24.27ckknightTain, actually that's not true anymore
20:24.44ckknightwell, for Ace2
20:24.44TainHooking in general the way it's done just seems to hackish to me.  Not that I have any suggestions for doing it better, but I don't like the idea of all these addons having copies of the same functions all over the place taking up space.
20:24.44ckknightsince everything is modular and separated
20:25.12kergoththey dont have copies, they have references
20:25.26ckknightand references are cheap
20:25.41Endand each reference of what appears to be the same function is just the reference to someone else's hook
20:25.43TainPoint taken!
20:26.03TainI was stuck thinking of them as copies and not references.
20:26.09ckknightThrae, along with the C# vs. C argument. Typically doing something complex and hackish in C, someone probably coded better in C#
20:26.26TainBut that still only removes the extra storage.  Just as a principle it rubs me the wrong way.
20:27.03ckknightAnduinLothar, AceLocale is probably in direct competition with your Localization
20:27.10ckknight:-P
20:27.11kergoththe whole idea of hijacking someone elses function is ugly in general. its unfortunate that it's often necessary, and is often a sign of lacks in the APIs, imo
20:27.17ckknightAceLocale is like a user-defined BabbleLib
20:28.18Endmost hooks are just a hey, this function was called, so now I gotta do something as well.  I think there a lot less that actually change functionality (which is a lot more dangerous I think)
20:28.29ckknightkrka, AceLocale does remove all unused languages ASAP. it also allows for lazy translations (falling back to the native tongue when not available)
20:28.38ckknightit also has a Debug method that shows you what is missing
20:28.40ckknightand such
20:29.03Industrial<sneaky_commercial> http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php/topic,1634.0.html </sneaky_commercial>
20:29.07AnduinLotharso... why did you write it if it does the exact same hting as Localization?
20:29.10kergothEnd: agreed. i'd argue that that is a lack in the api.  if there isnt a capable events system that allows me to get notified when things like that happen... :)
20:29.27ckknightAnduinLothar, because it makes my penis bigger.
20:29.44ckknightessentially.
20:30.04ckknightit also uses Ace2's internal stuff
20:30.13AnduinLotharyou realize that making competition in area where there's not much user base makes things more complicated for the end user..
20:30.17krkawe all suffer from it i think... "i can make my own and make it better" :) i know i do atleast
20:30.27Endisn't AceLocale embedded?
20:30.30ckknightyes.
20:30.38Endso the end user doesn't care that much
20:30.39ckknightright
20:30.48ckknightAceLocale requires AceLibrary and AceLibraryBase
20:30.51ckknightwhich are also embeds
20:31.02AnduinLotharLocalization is embeddable too
20:31.08ckknightokay
20:31.08AnduinLotharhow is yours any better?
20:31.14krkaso then the author can choose
20:31.14ckknightI dunno, I haven't read yours
20:31.16krkano big problem
20:31.26AnduinLotharyou didn't even research the competition?
20:31.36AnduinLotharwow, you have way too much time on your hands
20:31.44ckknightI used BabbleLib's code
20:31.45ckknightnot yours
20:31.50ckknightand I wrote BabbleLib
20:31.56ckknightthat's where I got my inspiration from
20:32.16AnduinLotharriiight.... so how is that different from me?

20:41.35ckknightI made the right choice in writing AceLocale.
20:42.36ckknight(I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, either)
20:44.32ckknightmine is much more OO-style
20:44.39ckknightand such
20:45.10ckknighte.g. it makes a new instance holding the translations per addon. He puts it into a central dealy
20:45.44ckknightso it's instance:GetTranslation("Word") vs. Localization.GetString("MyAddon", "Word")

21:09.11Canislupusworks with languages other than CVS?
21:09.20Cairenno.O
21:09.20EndCVS isn't a language
21:09.40Endit's a version control system
21:09.48Canislupusoops, /cast exposenoob(rank6)
21:09.50Endand subversion is just CVS done a lot more sanely
21:09.50kergothi need to find a good "introduction to cofiguration managemetn concepts" for new developers
21:10.45Canislupuswe had a DBA that couln't say CSV to save his ass, he always called it CVS
21:11.04Endahh
21:12.18Canislupusso the impression i get is that you are having pretty good results with SVN so far, eh?
21:13.22Endwell, yes
21:13.26kergothsvn is incredible. every major open source project that doesnt need a peer to peer version control system, for the most part, ends up moving to it
21:13.33kergoth(with a few exceptions)
21:14.06Canislupusand it works with any files, including xml and lua?
21:14.11Endyes
21:14.16Canislupusnice
21:14.19kergothit supports anything. even binaries (though not well)
21:14.24kergothgoogle is your friend

21:19.12kaidenit sucks to be in the heart of seattle and not have any stinking chinese delivery places that dont use anything other than some specialized dinner delivery service that costs 30 bucks to use
21:19.13kaidenlol
21:19.47EndI read that as cheese delivery at first
21:19.58kaidencheese would be good too
21:20.09Canislupuswell, i am sure for $30 they would bring you anything you want

21:20.32Endhookers is more

21:20.42Canislupusthats what i hear anyway...
21:21.04KirkburnWhy would you want a _stinking_ chinese place? :/
21:21.13Canislupuswonder if a delivery service like that would be successful in my town?
21:21.44Canislupusdeliver groceries, food from resturants, etc

21:26.50KirkburnI just spent my evening watching the Italy v Ukraine game with some italians
21:27.01KirkburnNeedless to say, they're an excitable bunch
21:27.35kergoththere should be a pizza & alcohol & munchies delivery service for parties and such
21:28.41KirkburnAre you serious?

21:29.17TainI used to use Waiters on Wheels when I was in San Jose.
21:29.30TainThey didn't charge that much, it was reasonable to me.
21:29.58KirkburnIn the UK most pizza companies have good prices still :)
21:30.33TainWell we're talking more I think about services for places that don't offer their own deliveyr.

21:31.11Legoroloh, you mean the old xbox?
21:31.43Kirkburnheh ... the Xbox 360 sold 1,169
21:31.51Legorolthat's not much either..

21:32.15Legoroli just find it amusing that they can count that 10

21:34.20Legorolwhen did WoW launch in US?
21:34.22LegorolNovember 2004?
21:34.41Kirkburnyup
21:34.57Legorolok, just to amuse you guys..
21:35.05LegorolWoW currently has more than 6 mil subscribers
21:35.10Legorollet's consider this for a moment
21:35.13KirkburnAbout 6.6m :)
21:35.21Legorolassuming noone has quit WoW yet, so that the amount of WoW boxes sold is equal to 6 mil,
21:35.33Legorolsince the initial launch (20 months) ago, they sold:
21:35.44Legorol300,000 boxes per month
21:35.50Legorolor 10,000 boxes per day
21:35.51Legorolimagine
21:35.55Legorol10k boxes sold per DAY
21:36.02Kirkburnheh
21:36.03Endand that's just assuming no quitters
21:36.07Legorolyeah
21:36.12Legorolamusing bit of trivia ;-)
21:36.21Legorolof course it fluctuates a lot
21:36.28Legorollike 500k sold on launch day etc.
21:36.29KirkburnSo how many quitters do you think there have been?
21:36.34Legorolbut still, it's amusing to think about it
21:36.34Kirkburn20%? more? less?
21:36.38Legorolless
21:36.40Legorol10%
21:36.41Legorolthat's my guess
21:36.58Legorolbut i'd imagine in that sort of ballpark
21:37.03Legoroldefinitely not 100 or 200%
21:37.09Kirkburnheh, no way
21:37.21KirkburnI know of very few people who have quit
21:37.26Legorolditto
21:37.30TainThe EQ fallout was funny.  Very sudden drop.  Which I called a long time ago,
21:37.41TainEQ had a lot less subscribers, they just all owend 2-3 accounts each.
21:37.41Legorolalthough you have to remember they don't count accounts that are inactive at the moment
21:37.55Legoroland even if people hadn't quit, the number of people who are currently not subscribed is probably more
21:38.04LegorolTain: what EQ fallout?
21:38.07Legoroldid EQ had a sudden drop?
21:38.17Legoroli'm assuming when EQ2 and WoW came out there must've been
21:39.01KirkburnLineage is also feeling the sqeeze atm
21:39.23Legorolgogo WoW
21:39.26KirkburnIn the last year, the EQ player base has more than halved :)
21:39.42Legorolwell tbh, EQ had its time of glory
21:39.43TainOh yeah was looking at charts earlier
21:39.46Legorolit's time it passed away :)

21:40.53KirkburnEve Online is going well, keep meaning to play it
21:41.28KirkburnLooks like Asheron's Call is about to die
21:42.02TainEve Online is a lot of fun.  Completely different than other games.
21:42.07TainWhich means not everyone likes it.
21:42.15TainBut I love it as a change of pace.
21:42.44Legorolwhat i am wondering is how does mmogchart account for people with multiple subscriptions
21:42.52Legorolespecially when it comes to dividing the market up by %
21:42.54TainOh actually have to look at the 70k-700k chart to see the drastic EQ falloff.
21:43.22TainI believe they only go by subscriber numbers, so subscribed accounts.  Not unique people owning multiples.
21:43.28Legorolhehe, coincides with WoW/EQ1
21:43.30Legorolhehe, coincides with WoW/EQ2
21:43.37Endthey have no way of knowing unique people
21:43.41Legorolexactly
21:43.50Legorolthe Total graph suggests there are 13 mil MMO players
21:43.55Legorolthat's probably an overestimate than
21:44.50Legorolhm, what i find most amusing is EQ2:
21:44.50Legorolsharp rise when it hits shelves
21:44.57Legorolsharp drop when later WoW hits shelves :)
21:45.07Endyeah, hehe

22:02.36CanislupusLOL leg, i love that quote
22:03.56Canislupusyou guys gonna flame me if a ask a bunch of noob questions in here?
22:05.02LegorolCanislupus: most definitely, but you came in your FR gear i am sure :)
22:05.16Legorolon the serious side: i always ask a bunch of noob questions
22:05.25Canislupusabsolutely, full black dragonscale
22:05.38Legorolwhat is black dragonscale? is that leather or plate?
22:05.40Legorolany good?
22:05.48Canislupus---scale---
22:05.57Legorolscale, so it's mail
22:05.58Legorolok
22:06.11Canislupusits all +AP, little stamina, decent FR
22:06.19CanislupusNO agil, whatsoever
22:06.25Legorolsounds crappy
22:07.13Canislupusi really dont like it, but it will serve as an admission ticket to MC in a big raiding guild, in place of tier.5 or whatever
22:07.58Canislupussince getting obsessed with BGs though, i have begun to appreciate +attack power equipment on a hunter a lot more
22:09.11Canislupusmost +attack power gear is approx 2x the agil of equal level gear, which results in equal ranged dps, but the difference comes when you get in melee range
22:09.48Kirkburn|wooowDidn't you come here to ask something?
22:10.01Kirkburn|wooow=)
22:10.25Kirkburn|wooowI'm flying to get my Argent Tabard :)
22:10.58Kirkburn|wooowWith the Necrotic Runes - is there anything else interesting to get?
22:11.30Canislupuswell my questions are many, and all related to trying to get robinsons ChatBox 1.20 working properly again, so that an update/fix can be posted
22:11.49Kirkburn|wooowOooh, yes
22:12.17Canislupusmy latest suspicion is that it is related to the 1.11 changes in UIDropDownMenu.lua
22:12.35Canislupusbut i have yet to find the offending change
22:12.45Kirkburn|wooow:(
22:12.51kergothEnd: what's detoggleattack do?  avoid accidentally engaging mobs?
22:13.09Canislupusone thing mentioned in the developer's comments is that he is ..
22:13.28CanislupusKergoth: i am going to guess it turnes off auto-attack
22:13.39ShadowedCanislupus: ( bit late, but ) Depending what guild you're applying to, they wont really care what gear you have as long as you have decent resistance in the 150-175 range of NR/FR.
22:13.47Kirkburn|wooowPhilosophical comments are they?
22:14.27kergoththat would make sense, but when? :) /me looks at the code
22:14.31Canislupusthat is a lot of fire resistance for a hunter, but then again i haven't been to Ragneros yet either
22:15.03Kirkburn|wooow<Canislupus> one thing mentioned in the developer's comments is that he is ..      <--- yes??
22:15.14LegorolCanislupus: although +AP gear has roughly the equivalent of +agi gear, which makes it good for melee whilst keeping your ranged DPS,
22:15.22ShadowedWell, not sure what guild you're talking about. But usually the ones that are already in nax with a few bosses down they don't even care about MC anymore.
22:15.23Legorolyou forget that +agi also increases your armor and crit chance
22:15.40Canislupusok back to the devs comments...   it seems he is OVERWRITING the original friendsframe dropdowns
22:15.47Legorolon my hunter, personally if i had to choose between +x agi and +2x AP, i go for agi
22:15.48ShadowedAnd you can get more out of +AGI from talents.
22:15.50Canislupusand not ADDING the new menu items to them
22:16.03Legorolthat's because i never melee
22:16.09Legoroleven in PvP, i avoid melee
22:16.15Legorolstun/slow the opponent and fire from range
22:16.24Legorolmy ranged dps is just so much higher
22:16.43Canislupuswell i totally agree Leg, but as i said before PvP made me appreciate +ap a lot more because you cant alway kite another player
22:16.50Legorolthen you are playing wrong :)
22:16.53Legorolok that's not entirely true, but
22:17.04Legoroli always *try* to kite
22:17.04ShadowedA Warrior can keep you in melee range fairly easly if they are smart about engaging
22:17.12Legorolso i deliberately not stay in melee range
22:17.25LegorolShadowed: as soon as a warrior is in melee range, i wing clip and move away
22:17.31Legorolhe will do more melee dps than i do, that's for sure
22:17.34Canislupusand +2 ap = +2 melee , +1 agil only = +1 melee
22:17.38Legoroli know
22:17.50Legoroli am just trying to say that since i deliberately move out of melee range,
22:17.52ShadowedWing clip lasts how long again, 10 seconds?
22:18.04Legoroldoesn't matter, you can recast it any number of times
22:18.09Legorolbut yeah something like that
22:18.11Canislupusyeah and they have an insignia that breaks wingclip
22:18.17ShadowedAh, but you have to be in melee range to recast it :p
22:18.18Canislupusand they have an AOE fear
22:18.34Shadowedfew warriors use intimidating shout effectively actually
22:18.38LegorolShadowed: but the warrior is trying to be in melee range
22:18.42Legorolas soon as he is, i cast wing clip
22:18.44Legorolthat's my point
22:19.00Canislupuspoint being if i get them down to 25% health at range, and they end up sticking to me like glue, i can still melee them to death
22:19.08Endplus warriors have better melee damaging abilities
22:19.26ShadowedIf a hunter tries to melee me I disarm them
22:19.27Legorolif a warrior tries to stick to me, i just run
22:19.30Legoroland let the pet kill him :)
22:19.34Shadoweda smart warrior wont let you do that :p
22:19.44Canislupusyeah a hunter wont out melee a warrior, but i dont think me having 1000 melee attack power is anything to laugh at either
22:19.45Legoroli don't think a hunter should try to melee a warrior
22:19.56LegorolCanislupus: i am not debating that
22:20.02ShadowedThen again, most warriors go "Disarm? LOL!"
22:20.06Legoroli am saying, out of the proportion of time you spend in combat,
22:20.13Legorolhow much do you melee and how much do you range?
22:20.18Canislupusand with the proper survival talent i have +20% chance to crit with raptor strike
22:20.29Legorolsince i spend the majority in ranged, i go for +crit chance from +agi
22:20.37Canislupusand i can crit a raptor strike with barbarous blade for like 1500 dmg
22:20.50Legorolok, so you have survival
22:20.56Legoroli am BM, so that makes a difference too
22:21.01Legorolgear selection depends on that as well a bit
22:21.05ShadowedBM hunters make me cry
22:21.11Legorolwhy?
22:21.16ShadowedBecause of the annoying stun
22:21.20Legorolhehe :)
22:21.25Legorolit's amazing isn't it
22:21.27Canislupusyou are talking to someone who used to be obsessed with agility, and if anyone ever asked me how to improve their hunter, my sole answer was "AGILITY!!!
22:21.30kergothhunters are the main problem for my shaman in pvp. meh
22:21.31Legorolit's not just a stun, good as an interrupt too ;-)
22:21.49Canislupusoh, you mean intimidation?
22:21.52ShadowedWell, BM hunters are more of an annoyence then effective in killing me really.
22:21.53Legorolyup
22:22.04Canislupusyah i miss being BM spec
22:22.11ShadowedSince they usually stun me when i'm trying to go for a FC, but the pets in general just help rage generation :p
22:22.19Legorolok Canislupus, here is an intersting one for you:
22:22.24Canislupusdidnt get the 2600hp crits then though
22:22.28kaidencarrot cake is such an amazing thing.. i mean who ever thought up eating carrots as a desert with all these different spices...
22:22.34kaidenjust yummy i tell ya
22:22.40Legorolgiven Mail armor with +agi +spi on it, and Leather armor with +agi +sta on it, which one would you choose
22:22.47Shadowedleather
22:22.52kergothcarrot cake... mmm. i'm all hungry now
22:22.57Legorolexample: around lvl 45 you can have the tough scorpid set, or the nightscape set
22:23.12Legorollol
22:23.27Canislupusi loved the scorpid set, i had about 25% crit back then with it
22:23.29Legorolthe thing is, everyone around me said yeah just take the scorpid set, even for PvP
22:23.37ShadowedIf you're goal is leveling and not PvPing and mail had more AGI I'd go with the mail personally, from a PVP standpoint i'd take the leather.
22:23.46Legorolwhen i told them how much more my effective Hp is with leather, their jaws dropped
22:23.47Canislupusand BACK THEN i was grinding exp a lot, and NOT PVPing
22:24.00LegorolShadowed: assume equal amount of agi
22:24.07Shadowedcomparing it at level 45 isn't really fair though
22:24.15Legorolwell, not true
22:24.21kaideni miss my hunter but i decided never to touch him again, and make a new hunter when draeni come out
22:24.23Legorolbecause i am talking about what people suggestd *for PvP*
22:24.24TainAlways have to look at agi vs crit %, losing too much agi reduces your crit %.
22:24.27ShadowedYou probably wont have moved to mostly mail until 50-55 since you just got mail armor 5 levels ago so you may not have the best choice.
22:24.39Canislupusmy char is a leatherworker so Scorpid set was a given i think
22:24.41LegorolShadowed: that's all true
22:24.51Legorolthe point i was trying to make is that
22:25.00Legorolmost people look at hunter, look at mail, say hunter should get mail
22:25.06Legorolthey don't think that leather might be better
22:25.15Canislupushow much more agil did the set have, leg?
22:25.24Legorolthey had pretty much identical agi
22:25.33Legoroli don't remember the exact value, maybe different by 2 or 3
22:25.46Canislupusarmor class is worth little in PVE for a good hunter, as is stamina
22:25.51Legorolbut the effective Hp value (including the effectiveness of Armor) was higher with leather
22:25.58Legoroli'm talking about PvP
22:26.03CanislupusOH!
22:26.11Legorolas i mentioned, people told me to use scorpid set for PvP
22:26.17Legoroland when i told them i will go leather, they laughed
22:26.30Legoroluntil i showed them the numbers on how, even with lower Ar value, i have more effective Hp
22:26.31Canislupuswell in that case i would go with the leather, because you are equally resistant to casters that way
22:26.46Legorolyou are more resistant actually because of the +sta
22:26.47Canislupusand casters are a big pain in the but
22:27.03Legorolbut the big point was that you are more resistant *even* to melee
22:27.21Canislupusyeah more +sta > more Armor all other things being equal
22:27.34Legorolwell depends on the exact amount of Ar and +sta
22:27.43Legorolthere is a turnover point
22:27.49Canislupusif i am not mistaken, the nightscape set has +crit bonus too, doesnt it?
22:27.54Legorolyou just have to make sure you calculate yoru effective Hp properly
22:28.02Legoroli think it might have on one item
22:28.14Canislupusnotice i said "all other things being equal"
22:28.32Legorolby effective Hp i mean the amount of Hp you have, taking into account your armor value
22:28.37Canislupuscrit and stam are WAY more important on PVP
22:28.59Legorole.g. if you have 1500 Hp and 800 Ar, your effective Hp might be 2000 Hp (this is just off the top of my head, may not be the right number)
22:29.23Canislupusi never considered them much till i started PVPing, Agil and Int and Spir were my primarys
22:29.23Legorolwell we both agree
22:29.39Canislupusyeah totally
22:29.42Legoroli'm just saying lots of people laugh at the idea of wearing leather set instead when you have a mail one
22:29.56Canislupusmost of them were prob warriors and pallies
22:30.17Legorolwell, the person who laughed hardest was our Hunter class leader who commands all Hunters in raids :)
22:30.17Canislupusoh, or rogues
22:30.54Legorolto this day he doesn't understand why i wore the nightscape set, i just couldn't get him to understand it
22:30.56Canislupusyou would be amazed at how many people claim to understand the hunter class that have NO CLUE
22:31.13Legoroli have trouble when +int items drop
22:31.19Legorolpeople look at me funny when i want to roll need
22:31.34Canislupushey... hunters are casters just like warlocks
22:31.58Canislupusonly difference is that we can still do damage when we run out of mana
22:32.01Legorolmy biggest achievement so far though was getting Whitemane's Chapeau with my warrior :)
22:32.21Legorolwhenever i run a low level through an instance, i wear that
22:32.35Legorolit's become my mascot for low-level instance runs :)
22:32.40Canislupus??  why?
22:32.47kaidencuz he's weird
22:32.47Legoroljust for fun
22:32.48kaiden:P
22:32.55Canislupuslol
22:32.57Legorolnot wearing my plate helm doesn't make that much difference in Gnomeregan or SM
22:33.11Legorolbut it makes people laugh
22:33.19Legorolespecially in SM
22:33.31Legoroli keep that Chapeau nice and safe in my bank
22:33.42Legoroli had the Triune Amulet too with that warrior :)
22:33.48Legorolbut i vendored that, siince it's not visible
22:33.54Canislupusi know almost all of you are smarter than me when it comes to lua, show me what i am missing here in my efforts to fix this proggy....  Please!  {begs}

22:35.18Canislupushttp://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=1819
22:35.41kaidenFirst things first, why do you want to fix it when sol's colorchatnicks does everything it does and actually works with 1.11
22:35.54Canislupushere is the rundown up to this point (PS, i posted to the comments section under bdunnaway)
22:36.09Canislupuswell, it doesnt do EVERYTHING
22:36.25kergothsol's colorchatnicks absorbed a pile of stuff it never shoudl ahve had, like pin coloring for the world map
22:36.30kergoththat bugged me
22:36.31Canislupusfor one does it automatically color names by class?
22:36.48kergothyes, sol's can do that
22:37.02kergothfoo
22:37.08kaiden#  Enchantment spam is parsed and removed from the chat frame, and placed into it's own box with a hyperlink to click on it. (and it looks cool now too!) (CTRL-click for original text message)
22:37.14kaidenis the only thing chatbox has that sol's doesn't that i can see
22:37.24kaidenand even then.. chatbox's version of that is so buggy that it doesn't work 90% of the time
22:37.29Canislupussecond, and this is the ONLY other reason i use ChatBox... is the PLM or player link menu
22:37.34*** join/#wowi-lounge yammygirlcoding (n=hoho@17924061.rjo.virtua.com.br)
22:37.59Canislupusoh the enchantment spam feature rocks too
22:38.24Canislupussccn has enchantment feature?
22:39.01Canislupusbeing able to right click a name in chat window and do a /who on them is a nice feature to have
22:39.09kergoththeres lots of addons for a player link menu.. like player link menu, and aceplayermenu or something like that
22:39.16yammygirlcodingCide!!! hello!!!
22:39.21Canislupusand that is the feature i am trying to get working

22:40.04Canislupusdont know that i would run ACE just for that feature though
22:41.29Industrialthen use it for more ?:S
22:42.37Canislupuslol i have a feeling i am in the company of some ACE developers...
22:43.05kergoth?
22:43.19kaideni think pretty much all of this channel loves ACE .. or loves it so much they hate it

22:48.51Canislupusis ace a seperate install then i assume?
22:52.09Canislupuswell i guess i will go with 2 seperate mods to do what this one used to
22:52.48Canislupusi was kinda hoping to learn more about LUA as i tried to fix it but i am just getting frustrated and not getting much WOW time in
22:53.21Canislupushave learned a good bit though
22:54.02Canislupusin time i will probably rewrite this mod, taking out all the features i dont use and hopefully restoring the functionality of the ones i do
22:59.14Canislupusanyone use SCCN along with Confab?
23:01.19LegorolCanislupus: is ChatBox an Ace-based AddOn?
23:01.27Legorolif so i'd imagine it has a steep learning curve to understand its code
23:01.39LegorolAce addons use specialised OO structures you wont' find in others
23:01.47Legorolso i'd start by reading Ace documentation :)
23:02.24Mikk11. Understand WoW. 2. Understand Ace.  Even.
23:02.44IrielYou need Understand LUA in there too
23:03.02TainI'd start with Understand Lua.
23:03.04Canislupuswell i am weak in either area for sure
23:03.05Mikk11. Understand regular AddOn programming (including LOua)
23:03.28Canislupusbut i dont think it's based on ACE
23:04.40Canislupusi do understand basic add-on programming, probably better than you might thing from some of my more nubish questions i post here
23:04.46Canislupusthing=think
23:05.19Mikk1Easily checked. If every third line says AceSomething, it's Ace =)
23:05.26Canislupusbut i AM new to LUA, for sure, and there is a lot i need to learn about the libraries and functions used in WOW
23:05.45Canislupuswell definately not ACE then
23:06.06Canislupusif so many ppl use ACE, how come it's not even up to date with the last patch?
23:06.18Mikk1o.O
23:06.19Canislupusseems that would break a ton of add-ons
23:06.20kergoth"up to date" is meaningless.
23:06.27IrielI disagree there
23:06.31End-afknothing changed in the last patch to break it
23:06.41IrielI find library authors who dont keep a current toc rude and unhelpful
23:06.44kergothit doesnt imply an api change occurred, nor otherwise
23:07.14Canislupusoh, well i see some add-ons were broken, but perhaps posters are way too quick to implement ACE in the errors and not the add-ons
23:07.16IrielBy updating the toc when nothing else changes you're at least saying 'We recognize that the patch did not affect our code'
23:07.32End-afkalthough, I do agree with Iriel.
23:07.34TainIf that were the case I might agree.
23:07.47TainBut more often than not it's, "We're updating the TOC to match the patch."
23:07.52TainNo guarantees of anything.
23:08.12Mikk1Kinda hard to guarantee anything when there's been no test servers :s
23:08.25End-afkeu doesn't get test servers?
23:08.27IrielWhat are you talking about?
23:08.32Mikk1The latest TOC change
23:08.41Shadowed1.11?
23:08.47End-afkthe last TOC change was 1.11
23:08.48TainHowever, I do still harken back to another day where bandwidth was a premium so I'd still typically lean away from making someone download the same things again for nothing but a toc change.
23:08.48Iriel1.11 got plenty of test servers
23:08.53Canislupusdoesn't look like a very lage percentage of the add-ons on ui.worldofwar are ace-based, am i missing something there?
23:08.58Mikk1Wasn't the TOC change the other night?
23:09.00End-afkno
23:09.01Mikk1Minor step?
23:09.09End-afkalmost never a TOC change on minor patches
23:09.12End-afkactually, probably never
23:09.14Mikk1Oh, was someone on here saying there was
23:09.18ShadowedCanislupus: Some people don't like to use libaries
23:09.26ShadowedOr the addon has no need of one
23:09.41Canislupusi would think if they are well documented they would be the cat's meow
23:09.47End-afk(the last TOC change on a minor patch was probably when it used build number based TOC numbers)
23:09.50TainThere's plusses and minuses, Canislupus.
23:10.01End-afk(if at all)
23:10.15TainHowever when you refer to Ace you really are talking about more than just a set of libraries, it's a community.
23:10.27Canislupustoo many libraries could get a bit confusing, of course
23:10.29Mikk1*shrug* I'm just quoting what I heard here in the channel. I haven't even logged on since monday =)
23:10.51Canislupusisn't that basically what Cosmos has ended up being as well?
23:10.55TainThat's one thing that some people don't understand or simply don't like.  You'll see knee-jerk reactions in different places just by mentioning, "Ace" or "Cosmos"
23:10.55End-afkwell, -every- patch unchecks the load out of date button
23:11.40End-afkI can understand unchecking it on the big content patches I guess, but on the minor bugfix patches it seems pretty lame to me
23:11.56*** join/#wowi-lounge Atog (n=Atog@195-144-094-012.stat.adsl.xs4all.be)
23:12.06Canislupusmy only reservation or "knee-jerk reaction", is the fear that the library is the source of my add-on's errors, and not my own code
23:12.11TainIt bugs me period.  I'd like an option to not have it happen even if it's the default.
23:12.33End-afkwell, I didn't say I liked it either way
23:12.40End-afkI'm just more understanding :P
23:12.52Canislupusbut i suppose if enought ppl use the library, it would be pointed out quickly
23:13.13TainWell Canislupus the best reason (in my personal opinion) to code is because you enjoy doing it.  And if that means redoing something that other people have done elsewhere then there's nothing at all wrong with that.
23:13.54*** part/#wowi-lounge wereHamster (n=tomc@gw.ptr-62-65-141-13.customer.ch.netstream.com)
23:14.13Canislupusi do enjoy it, my lack of knowledge is a bit frustrating at this point, but i love to learn as well so it's good, healthy entertainment for me
23:14.45Atogwell, toying with this kind of stuff is a nice way to learn things.
23:14.58Canislupuswould be nice if the ppl in my real-life were capable of recognizing this as a healthy pastime, but i digress...
23:15.27TainReal-life is just something you're forced to deal with between coding and gaming sessions.  It's not important.
23:16.24Canislupuswhatever your passion: coding, gaming, etc, it is a great hobby except the requirement of massive amounts of time it requires
23:16.48Canislupusand the resultant shunning of social interaction
23:17.22Atogwell, just don't go overboard, Canislupus
23:17.51TainModeration in everything.  Including moderation.
23:18.50Canislupusgood at moderation of other things, just not my computer time
23:20.24Canislupusnew g/f is pretty understanding... so far
23:21.00Canislupusnaturally, when she is no longer understanding... out she goes
23:21.06TainIf she's new it's a great opportunity to set expectations now.
23:21.46Canislupusi see some ppl are trying to replace a lot of their add-ons with ACE equivelants.. and the purpose in that would be?
23:22.05Mikk1Generally speaking, Ace developers are conscious of performance and ram
23:22.10Mikk1That's the only _real_ reason, really
23:22.18Canislupusgood reason though
23:22.45Canislupusdoubt we will ever see any discord conversions...
23:22.47TainThat's a function of the authors, not of Ace though.  It's just that is a big part of what people try to do.
23:22.53Mikk1They all believe it gets efficient because of Ace.
23:23.00Mikk1But that's of course not quite true
23:23.02Mikk1What Tain said
23:23.38Mikk1Ace is helpful when you're trying to do the right thing. But you can write bloaty stupid code and use Ace too if you like =)
23:24.06kergothand you can write efficient code without it (and many do)
23:24.25CanislupusI am still a bit surprised to see so many ACE supporters in here and so few ACE based add-ons
23:24.42Mikk1Haha
23:24.51Mikk1Well, while I'm supportive of it, I don't use it myself =)
23:25.32TainThere's not all that many Ace supporters here.  In fact there's a number around here who I suspect cringe and curse under their breath every time they see the word on their screen. ;)
23:25.42Mikk1Ï think it boils down to the fact that a nub programmer can't wrap his head around Ace. So if something is properly Ace, it can't be a moron who wrote it. Or something like that =)
23:26.07Cairennjust as there are a number that cringe and curse under their breath every time they see the word "Cosmos" on their screen
23:26.11Canislupushmm... interesting take on the subject
23:26.27TainOr "Saien" :)
23:26.38CairennTain: I'd disagree with that
23:26.59CairennI think *EVERYONE* curses out loud when they see that name :p
23:27.03Tainhaha
23:27.15kergothhah
23:27.27Cairennemphasis also on the "out loud", as opposed to "under their breath"
23:27.37Cideactually, I think Saien said what I think about users in general, just in a... rather harsh.. way ;)
23:27.51Atoghmm, it's getting late, and my brain seems to have shutdown
23:28.03Tain~emulate Saien
23:28.05purlYou are of course, wrong, and I invite you to prove it to yourself.
23:28.11Mikk1rofl
23:28.13CairennCide: it wasn't just that he said it about users ... he said it about everyone and everything
23:28.13Atogis there any reason why UnitName(target) wouldn't work?
23:28.20Cairennand he was just plain rude
23:28.27Mikk1Atog: Yeah, it should be UnitName("target")
23:28.32CideCairenn: yeah, I don't agree with the way he acted in general
23:28.34Atogah, great, thanks
23:29.12Cairennand, honestly, if he hated users that much, why did he release for general usage to begin with?
23:29.23Cairennwhy didn't he just keep it for himself
23:29.26TainPower.
23:29.42TainThe power to abuse when he saw people would come back anyway.

23:34.19Legorolme, bored, never
23:34.23Legorolbut i might do the search anyway
23:34.28Legoroli use some of his addons, i think
