| 09:26.02 | Torhal | Gnarfoz: Some of the point of using Git is that. The other part is "It isn't Subversion." |
| 09:28.40 | Gnarfoz | I agree, "the cool kids use git, so we must use git" is certainly part of it |
| 09:29.02 | Gnarfoz | although the case could be made that that's obsolete now and you should switch to mercurial ;p |
| 09:29.45 | Torhal | o.O |

| 09:36.58 | Simca_ | all Mercurial needed to win was builtin history rewriting |
| 09:37.21 | Simca_ | but it didn't have it, so you can't have clean repos if you have OCD and make a mistake |
| 09:37.26 | Simca_ | so git won. |
| 09:41.29 | nevcairiel | mercurial has a bunch of rather peculiar design concepts which I found rather ... odd |
| 09:41.39 | nevcairiel | this whole "tip" business in hg is somewhat weird |
| 09:43.33 | Trela | Well, the constant incomprehensible merge conflicts that would occur in Mercurial did not help either. |
| 09:44.07 | Simca_ | i never had any of those in mercurial, but my projects were relatively simple |

| 10:08.38 | Gnarfoz | calories might be involved, but probably not in the way you'd like |

| 15:26.25 | emihir0 | hi, i made a small script: /run print(GetAchievementInfo(328)); |
| 15:26.49 | emihir0 | thsi returns "total gold acquired" info... but the problem is that it doesn't actually show the gold acquired of the player |
| 15:26.52 | emihir0 | any idea where i can get it from? |
| 15:27.17 | Gnarfoz | what does it show instead? |
| 15:28.01 | nevcairiel | you need to use GetAchievementCriteriaInfo probably |
| 15:28.01 | emihir0 | how can i get it to print to a frame that i can copy paste from? then i can link it perfectly |
| 15:28.13 | emihir0 | ok, lemme have a look at that |
| 15:29.20 | Gnarfoz | while you're at it: http://www.wowhead.com/achievements=2.130.140 (in case you didn't have that list before) |
| 15:30.05 | emihir0 | <PROTECTED> |
| 15:30.13 | emihir0 | but not about how much gold the specific player earned |
| 15:30.14 | nevcairiel | something like gold earned is probably better obtained from the statistics page than the achievements though |
| 15:30.16 | emihir0 | or acquired, rather |
| 15:30.27 | bluspacecow | omg werdz in dis channel |
| 15:34.00 | Gnarfoz | nevcairiel: statistics are just achievements, aren't they |
| 15:34.06 | emihir0 | ok so i got somewhere, /run print(GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(328, 4)); seems to return "money looted from creatures" however, the 2 arguments should be: achievementID, criteriaID |
| 15:34.29 | emihir0 | and criteriaID i found by GetAchievementNumCriteria(328) where it was 4 |
| 15:34.43 | nevcairiel | its more like criteria index |
| 15:35.45 | emihir0 | so how do i locate the one i need? |
| 15:36.36 | nevcairiel | check 1-4 and pick whichever you want? =p |
| 15:38.45 | emihir0 | yep ok, seems like 2 is from auctions |
| 15:40.27 | emihir0 | <PROTECTED> |
| 15:40.41 | emihir0 | works now ^_^ |
| 15:42.20 | emihir0 | now how do i get it to find this in other player's statistics? so i compare with otehr player basically |
| 15:43.08 | emihir0 | there seems to be only: GetAchievementComparisonInfo function, but that doesn't have "quantity" attribute in it |
| 15:43.38 | nevcairiel | achievemnet info from other players is quite limited |
| 15:44.15 | emihir0 | well it can be viewed ingame |
| 15:44.20 | emihir0 | so i would assume it can be accessed by wow api too |
| 15:45.18 | emihir0 | (as in, when you do 'compare achievements' with others, you can also have a look at the other player's statistics, so it's not unreasonable to think it could be accessed by wow api when you have that window opened) |
| 15:46.26 | Gnarfoz | you can't get the "wealth" info for other players, that was removed |
| 15:47.16 | emihir0 | <PROTECTED> |
| 15:48.36 | emihir0 | ok seems like /run local value = GetComparisonStatistic(328) print(value); will do the trick |
| 15:59.37 | emihir0 | i can compare achievements with InspectAchievements("target"), but cannot seem to find the function to close the achievements comparison window/frame, any ideas? |

| 16:04.14 | VIad | lines 2883 and 2884 for clearing and setting |
| 16:04.42 | VIad | but beware you need to expect INSPECT_ACHIEVEMENT_READY before the other api returns valid info |
| 16:05.04 | VIad | also SetAchievementComparisonInfo returns a boolean if you tried a valid unit or not :p |
| 16:05.36 | emihir0 | well my "addon" gives me the info when achievements gets opened (ie. RegisterEvent("INSPECT_ACHIEVEMENT_READY")), so that works fine |
| 16:05.43 | VIad | goodie |
| 16:06.03 | emihir0 | i just want to be able to open/close it instantly, so InspectAchievements("target") works on opening |
| 16:06.09 | VIad | HideUIPanel(AchievementFrame) |
| 16:06.19 | emihir0 | oh |
| 16:06.22 | emihir0 | lemme try =) |
| 16:06.36 | VIad | you don't really need Blizzard_AchievementUI to make your stuff to work |
| 16:06.37 | VIad | :p |
| 16:06.54 | VIad | ideally not depending on blizzards LOD addons is nicer |
| 16:06.57 | VIad | imo |
| 16:07.26 | emihir0 | well how can i get achiev comparison without having the achievements opened? |
| 16:07.38 | emihir0 | now a simple script: /run InspectAchievements("target") HideUIPanel(AchievementFrame); |
| 16:07.42 | VIad | I assumed you were going to read them programatically :p |
| 16:07.47 | emihir0 | will print out the info i want into chat |
| 16:09.06 | emihir0 | oooooooh wth |
| 16:09.27 | emihir0 | ok so apparently /run print(GetComparisonStatistic(328)); prints out total gold acquired by a player as long as he is within target range |
| 16:09.33 | emihir0 | but doesnt have to be within compare achievs range... i had no idea |
| 16:09.41 | emihir0 | thought i had to be within compare achievs range |
| 16:10.50 | emihir0 | that's quite neat, thanks @VIad ^_^ |
| 16:11.54 | emihir0 | well actually... it doesn't work that way =(, apparently it remembers the last comparison's value and will give that one instead of the actual target's one |
| 16:12.45 | VIad | you have to wait for the event |
| 16:12.52 | VIad | before the other api returns valid values |
| 16:13.14 | VIad | you have to do more than a macro button for this :p |

| 16:14.16 | VIad | looks good |
| 16:14.43 | VIad | then you only need to call ClearAchievementComparisonUnit() SetAchievementComparisonUnit("target") |
| 16:14.48 | VIad | to clear and set the next target |
| 16:14.59 | VIad | and the event will fire shortly after and your other code should print out info |
| 16:15.24 | VIad | not sure where the api InspectAchievements is defined |
| 16:16.06 | emihir0 | i just made a macro that does /run InspectAchievements("target") HideUIPanel(AchievementFrame); |
| 16:16.13 | VIad | I know |
| 16:16.23 | emihir0 | so along with the addon it shows the required info with slight game freeze |
| 16:16.27 | VIad | but I have no clue what InspectAchievements does and neither did wowpedia so I dunno how I can help you :p |
| 16:16.36 | VIad | it probably does stuff to interfere with your addon |
| 16:16.52 | emihir0 | well all inspectachievements does is that it opens achievements of other player |
| 16:17.22 | VIad | well, its weird if your event fires with the wrong data |
| 16:17.47 | emihir0 | it works now |
| 16:18.02 | emihir0 | it didnt work when i tried a simple macro: /run print(GetComparisonStatistic(328)); |

| 16:20.19 | emihir0 | is ClearAchievementComparisonUnit() supposed to close the UI frame? or what exactly is it supposed to do @VIad |
| 16:20.25 | VIad | no |
| 16:20.30 | VIad | just clear so other api wont return data |
| 16:20.40 | VIad | like GetComparisonStatistic |
| 16:20.52 | emihir0 | ah |
| 16:21.11 | VIad | everything related to other unit data should be gone when clear is called |
| 16:21.12 | emihir0 | i see that SetAchievementComparisonUnit("target") and InspectAchievements("target") does pretty much the same (event wise) but the first one doesn't actually open the UI |
| 16:21.41 | VIad | thats why I said you are better off just using the pure api and avoiding the ingame addon |
| 16:21.49 | emihir0 | so instead of /run InspectAchievements("target") HideUIPanel(AchievementFrame); i should probably be using /run SetAchievementComparisonUnit("target") ClearAchievementComparisonUnit(); |
| 16:21.54 | VIad | you dont have to lag opening it in combat that way :p |
| 16:22.03 | VIad | you dont really have to clear after |
| 16:22.09 | VIad | just clear before, then set the unit |
| 16:22.15 | VIad | just like how blizzard did it in theirs :p |
| 16:22.22 | emihir0 | hmm, yes, that makes sense too |
| 16:22.47 | VIad | would only need to call those 2 api that I mentioned and it should in theory work fine |
| 16:22.52 | emihir0 | so now i can use it when a new target is selected |
| 16:24.56 | emihir0 | is PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED fine to be used as event trigger for it? |
| 16:25.05 | VIad | I guess so |
| 16:25.25 | VIad | but I'd also maybe avoid calling the api to inspect if its already queued someone I guess :p you have to figure it out |

| 16:29.59 | VIad | I guess its like inspecting players |
| 16:30.16 | VIad | calling the api that starts the inspect is going to fire the event when ready |
| 16:30.23 | VIad | but if you call the inspect like 10 times in a second |
| 16:30.27 | VIad | you wont be able to get all the data |
| 16:30.33 | VIad | like if you want to inspect your 40 man raid |
| 16:30.51 | VIad | so you'd need to work on a system to like queue units you want to inspect and process that as the events fire :p |
| 16:30.56 | VIad | you need to figure it out ^^ |
| 16:31.32 | emihir0 | oki |
| 16:31.54 | emihir0 | what's the most efficient way to check if a target is a player? using UnitIsPlayer(UnitId)? |
| 16:32.39 | VIad | I'd consider that a safe bet :p |
| 16:37.14 | emihir0 | hmm, weird |
| 16:37.30 | emihir0 | either i have to use other event to fire my function, or there is some mistake |

| 16:43.38 | VIad | http://pastebin.com/aCzKK3vf |
| 16:44.03 | VIad | because you tried to read the data at the same time as you request it, you didnt wait for the event :p |
| 16:45.37 | emihir0 | neaaaaaat, i still don't knwo the proper lua functions and general practises, so printf in C is pretty similar to print(format in lua it seems |

| 17:00.52 | emihir0 | thanks a lot again, btw a funny thing i noticed is that it also works on horde, so if i target hrode i'll get info about how much gold they acquired even though you cannot compare achievs with them |

| 17:43.05 | emihir0 | ^_^ |
| 17:43.52 | emihir0 | @VIad is there a way to get this kind of info (e.g. total gold acquired) from people around you? basically target people within 20 yards or some such thing? |
| 17:50.29 | VIad | you can only use units |
| 17:50.48 | VIad | player, target, raid#, party#, boss# e.g. |
| 17:51.01 | VIad | http://wow.gamepedia.com/UnitId |
| 17:52.30 | Semlar | technically out of combat i bet you could do it |
| 17:52.48 | VIad | can't target someone without a hardware event though |
| 17:53.06 | emihir0 | how would one go about that Semlar? |
| 17:53.07 | Semlar | no but you can scale their nameplate to cover the screen |
| 17:53.08 | VIad | how would you make a nearby entity a valid unit? |
| 17:53.15 | VIad | tru |
| 17:53.21 | Semlar | which would give you a mouseover unit |
| 17:53.28 | emihir0 | that's what i was just about to ask |
| 17:53.31 | emihir0 | "mouseover" The unit which the mouse is currently (or was most recently) hovering over. |
| 17:53.38 | VIad | not sure if emihir0 is up to the challenge :p |
| 17:53.42 | Semlar | don't even bother trying |
| 17:53.49 | Semlar | it's not going to be worth it |
| 17:53.49 | emihir0 | so i coul dmake it so that when i run to AH house, quickly move mouse over the ppl there |
| 17:53.52 | *** join/#wowuidev kd3|hate`net (~quassel@unaffiliated/kd3) |
| 17:53.54 | emihir0 | it would scan all, possibly |
| 17:54.10 | VIad | :d |
| 17:54.31 | Semlar | you can just add it to their tooltip |
| 17:54.47 | Semlar | that would be the sane way to do it |
| 17:55.25 | VIad | youd have to make a queue system and cache results |
| 17:55.38 | VIad | since, like inspecting players, there is a delay and a limit to 1 at a time |
| 17:55.48 | VIad | though they are changing it in legion? |
| 17:56.02 | Semlar | doesn't really matter, you're mousing over the unit you want to inspect |
| 17:56.10 | VIad | then you wait for a result |
| 17:56.15 | VIad | and if you mouse over to the next unit |
| 17:56.19 | VIad | what to do with the old request? :< |
| 17:56.23 | Semlar | abort it |
| 17:56.39 | Semlar | i don't even know if you can |
| 17:56.50 | emihir0 | <Semlar> you can just add it to their tooltip |
| 17:56.53 | emihir0 | what do you mean by tooltip |
| 17:57.02 | emihir0 | what is tooltip exactly in wow |
| 17:57.08 | VIad | mouseover something then GameTooltip:AddLine("YOLO") GameTooltip:Show() |
| 17:57.11 | VIad | and you will see :p |
| 17:57.18 | Semlar | the box in the bottom right that shows information about the unit |
| 17:57.18 | VIad | it will add to the existing tooltip |
| 17:59.03 | emihir0 | lemme try, i'm not ingame now |
| 18:00.26 | emihir0 | hmm |
| 18:00.34 | emihir0 | where should i see the difference? |

| 18:04.00 | emihir0 | but it's at the edge (so the frame woudl cut through the line i added) |
| 18:06.34 | Semlar | it resizes itself to fit when you call :Show() on the tooltip |
| 18:06.44 | emihir0 | oh |

| 18:13.17 | Gnarfoz | that's probably why VIad included that ^^ |

| 18:24.17 | emihir0 | ^_^ |
| 18:43.28 | emihir0 | how do you usually test your .lua code without having to run wow every single time? for stuff like basic function testing |
| 18:45.42 | Semlar | you can just /reload after modifying your file |
| 18:46.08 | emihir0 | ... /facepalm |
| 18:46.16 | Semlar | or if you mean without the game entirely you could use a lua interpreter but that wouldn't have the api |
| 18:46.16 | Ressy | heh |
| 18:46.26 | emihir0 | i've restarted my wow like 30 times today |
| 18:46.39 | Ressy | As long as you're just changing code, and not adding new files, you can reload |
| 18:46.43 | Semlar | you only need to restart the client if you want to load a new file |
| 18:46.49 | emihir0 | yes, i see |
| 18:48.25 | Semlar | i think there's probably some dev addons that let you run code from an editor if you want to test something simple without reloading |
| 18:48.32 | Semlar | devpad maybe |
| 18:49.04 | Semlar | i haven't used them |
| 18:50.28 | emihir0 | being able to just /reload is a gamechanger :P |
| 18:51.35 | Semlar | the issue with running code in-game without reloading is that if you do anything to modify the state of the environment it's going to affect future scripts |

| 18:53.08 | Semlar | table.insert only takes 2 arguments |
| 18:53.16 | Semlar | the table and the value |
| 18:53.18 | emihir0 | basically i'm trying to add names to a table so i can simply check "if t["name"] then"... |
| 18:53.36 | emihir0 | table.insert takes an optional index parameter to insert into the middle of an array. It shifts up any other integer keys above the index: > t = {"a", "c"} > table.insert(t, 2, "b") > = t[1], t[2], t[3] a b c |
| 18:53.37 | Semlar | then you would just do t[GetUnitName('mouseover'] = true |
| 18:53.45 | Semlar | ) |
| 18:54.38 | Semlar | well okay insert can take 3 arguments but not in the way you're using it |
| 18:54.45 | emihir0 | i'm trying to do a non-messy solution to quickly identifying whether i already added that name to my table or not |
| 18:54.48 | Semlar | it's for numerical indexes |
| 18:55.50 | Semlar | first you need to check that UnitName is actually returning something, then set the key in the table for it |
| 18:56.18 | emihir0 | i'm checking if the unitname exists |
| 18:56.39 | emihir0 | but isn't it more useful to SET the unitname as key (index) and value as true? |
| 18:56.49 | Semlar | i wrote how to do that |
| 18:57.03 | Simca_ | yeah that's the way he wrote it |
| 18:57.10 | emihir0 | oh |
| 18:57.15 | emihir0 | for some reason i completely missed your line there |
| 18:57.16 | emihir0 | sorry |
| 18:57.16 | Semlar | t[ unitName ] = true |
| 18:57.32 | emihir0 | yes |
| 18:57.35 | Semlar | you HAVE to make sure the name exists before you do that |
| 18:57.51 | Semlar | because you can't set a nil table key |
| 18:57.52 | emihir0 | if UnitIsPlayer("mouseover") |
| 18:57.57 | emihir0 | this should be enough |
| 18:58.04 | Simca_ | yeah |
| 18:58.11 | emihir0 | ok thanks, i'll try it now |
| 18:58.21 | Semlar | just set the unit name to a variable and check that it exists before you put it in the table |
| 18:58.35 | Semlar | local name = UnitName('mouseover') if name then t[name] = true end |
| 18:58.50 | Simca_ | yeah that is a tiny optimization since you aren't calling the function twice |
| 18:59.08 | Simca_ | and because technically it is possible for the result to change between calls |
| 19:00.36 | emihir0 | what is better: 1) to overwrite the 'true' value if the name already exists (ie. t[name] = true would be called again), or to do 'if not t.name then t[name] = true end? |
| 19:00.52 | emihir0 | and i'll add the if name then t[name] = true end |
| 19:01.09 | Maldivia | just set to true, why bother checking? |
| 19:01.15 | Semlar | yeah it's not really worth it to check |
| 19:01.29 | Semlar | unless you're doing a lot more than setting it to true |
| 19:01.46 | Maldivia | yeah, if you explicitly set it to false at some point |
| 19:01.54 | emihir0 | ok |
| 19:02.31 | Semlar | if you were doing something like putting a whole table of information about the person into the table then you'd want to check whether it's already in there rather than overwrite it repeatedly |

| 19:15.16 | karl_w_w | ah, it's a fixed issue if I restart for windows updates |
| 19:15.27 | Semlar | it would only be valid when SetAchievementComparisonUnit is called |
| 19:16.05 | Semlar | so you'd probably have to hook that function and store what unit is being inspected if you need that data |
| 19:16.57 | Semlar | i have no idea what happens if you call the function again before the first one is ready |
| 19:17.50 | emihir0 | ok |

| 19:20.31 | emihir0 | it's not aproblem, i solved it |
| 19:20.57 | emihir0 | basically what i have done is that when i mouseover users |
| 19:21.05 | emihir0 | it will print out how much gold they acquired in console |

| 19:21.52 | emihir0 | the thing is, i'd like to now expand it a bit to something along the lines -> click button -> now we record the table -> click button again -> report into console |
| 19:22.05 | emihir0 | or it can be done with user command, doesn't really matter |
| 19:22.20 | emihir0 | so basically isntead of printing it out every time i mouseover, i'd like to print it out after the user calls it |
| 19:22.37 | emihir0 | how does one go about that? listening to user input |
| 19:23.24 | emihir0 | actually its' fine, it should be common enough to be able to google it, once i cannot solve something i'll let you know ^_^ |
| 19:23.25 | Semlar | are you asking how to make a button |
| 19:23.38 | emihir0 | slash command is fine for now |
| 19:23.46 | emihir0 | but i dont want to bother you too much, so i'll research on m y own a bit now i think |
| 19:24.04 | Semlar | just google how to make a slash command and find the wowpedia link for it |
| 19:24.14 | emihir0 | yep |
| 19:24.59 | karl_w_w | http://i.imgur.com/2oarB6o.gifv |
| 19:42.54 | emihir0 | hmm, @Semlar i copied the code from here: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Creating_a_slash_command the first example |
| 19:43.03 | emihir0 | it worked fine, then i did my own slash, that didnt work |
| 19:43.12 | emihir0 | so i copied that original code again and it doesnt work now either, any idea? |
| 19:43.42 | Semlar | you're doing something wrong? |
| 19:44.43 | emihir0 | well yes :D |
| 19:45.40 | Semlar | figure out what you're doing wrong |
| 19:45.45 | Semlar | >_> |
| 19:47.07 | Semlar | you say you're using code that was working but that's probably not true if it isn't working now |
| 19:47.34 | emihir0 | ok i found it |
| 19:47.40 | emihir0 | i had no idea you cannot do something like: |
| 19:47.44 | emihir0 | local d = 5 |
| 19:47.46 | emihir0 | local a = 10 |
| 19:48.20 | emihir0 | as in... after each otehr |
| 19:48.42 | emihir0 | is local a = 10, d = 5 valid declaration? or is it local a, d = 5 10? |
| 19:48.57 | emihir0 | maybe even local a, d = { 5, 10 }... new to lua :/ |
| 19:48.58 | Semlar | local a, d = 10, 5 |
| 19:49.27 | emihir0 | is there any way to separate the lines? i really dont like this type of declaration |
| 19:49.31 | Semlar | but you can put local d = 5 and local a = 10 on two separate lines without any problems |
| 19:53.05 | emihir0 | let me check something, not sure what's wrong precisely |
| 19:53.30 | Semlar | you should go turn on lua errors under help in the interface if you haven't |
| 19:55.12 | emihir0 | yep, i run it now and i see the error |
| 19:55.13 | emihir0 | thanks |
| 19:58.04 | emihir0 | hmm my error is that "local t = Set {}" attempted to call a global 'Set', but I have a function 'function Set (list)' |
| 19:58.13 | emihir0 | this worked normally prior trying to add the slash commands :o |
| 19:58.36 | kd3|hate`net | can't call functions before they're defined, and make sure you didn't accidentally leave a bracket open somewhere |
| 19:59.09 | emihir0 | 'can't call functions before they're defined' this was it |
| 19:59.29 | emihir0 | is there something like .h files in C but for .lua? |
| 19:59.30 | Semlar | "Set" is a pretty generic name for a function too |
| 19:59.39 | emihir0 | it's a generic function :P |
| 19:59.48 | foxlit | no, because Lua has no concept of declaring things. |
| 20:00.00 | Semlar | declares foxlit |
| 20:00.49 | emihir0 | YAY IT WORKS <3 |
| 20:01.38 | emihir0 | next step: figuring out how to sort string values of GetComparisonStatistic()... they are the gold/silver/copper value turned to string |
| 20:13.54 | emihir0 | any idea on how to turn the wow value string of gold (ie. number <gold symbol> number <silver symbol> number <copper symbol>) into something meaningful? ie. the whole sum converted to coppers for example |
| 20:14.32 | Semlar | match the numbers out of the string and convert them |
| 20:15.27 | Semlar | are you sure it's only returning a string value |
| 20:15.37 | emihir0 | how can i print the symbol (so i know what to look for when matching) without it getting displayed as gold symbol? |
| 20:15.54 | emihir0 | http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/API_GetComparisonStatistic |
| 20:16.02 | Semlar | what id are you calling this on |
| 20:16.07 | emihir0 | 328 |
| 20:16.10 | Semlar | and use wowpedia, wowwiki is basically dead |
| 20:16.15 | emihir0 | ok |
| 20:16.33 | Semlar | type /dump GetComparisonStatistic(328) |
| 20:17.07 | Semlar | google thinks wowpedia is a clone of wowwiki so it refuses to rank it higher |
| 20:17.40 | emihir0 | ok i see how can i extract it now |
| 20:18.12 | Semlar | or maybe /dump GetAchievementInfo(328) i don't know if they return the same format |
| 20:18.49 | emihir0 | they dont |
| 20:18.58 | emihir0 | getachievinfo doesn't actually contain the gold acquired |
| 20:19.08 | emihir0 | the quantity/value part |
| 20:19.34 | Semlar | oh it's GetStatistic(328) |
| 20:22.20 | emihir0 | for some reason i never found that function |
| 20:22.28 | emihir0 | and so was acquiring it through achiev comparison |
| 20:22.39 | emihir0 | oh no nvm |
| 20:22.40 | emihir0 | i found it before |
| 20:22.44 | Semlar | well it's for returning your info |
| 20:22.45 | emihir0 | it returns own statistics |
| 20:22.46 | emihir0 | yeah |
| 20:23.04 | emihir0 | so i think the only way to get target statistic is through GetComparisonStatistic |
| 20:23.14 | emihir0 | really no idea why would they not include the value in integer for there |
| 20:23.34 | foxlit | that's easy: because the default UI has no use for it. |
| 20:23.51 | Semlar | it's just displaying the formatted value so that's what it's returning |
| 20:25.07 | emihir0 | i mean it could be in format: value, quantity = GetComparisonStatistic(achievID) |
| 20:25.27 | emihir0 | where value is the string version, quantity is the integer version, same as in GetStatistic |
| 20:25.46 | Semlar | it doesn't return the integer with GetStatistic either |
| 20:26.18 | Semlar | regardless, you have to work with what you have |
| 20:27.16 | foxlit | rule four is generally that the API does not care about you, and does not go out of its way to make things convinient. |
| 20:29.08 | Semlar | do other localizations format the money differently |
| 20:29.28 | foxlit | bonus: colorblind mode. |
| 20:29.34 | emihir0 | how can i check if i do correct thing, is there a way using dump? for example: /dump string.gsub(GetComparisonStatistic(328),"|T|Interface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-GoldIcon:0:0:2:0|t", "") |
| 20:29.42 | Semlar | so it has the text version too |
| 20:29.59 | Semlar | i was mostly wondering if the order of gold/silver/copper ever changed |
| 20:30.13 | emihir0 | never saw it change ingame, not sure about api |
| 20:31.35 | foxlit | maybe it calls out to GetMoneyString while you're not looking? |
| 20:32.13 | emihir0 | well when i /dump GetComparisonStatistic(328) |
| 20:32.31 | emihir0 | it shows the '|T|Interface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-GoldIcon:0:0:2:0|t' and same for silver and copper |
| 20:33.54 | *** join/#wowuidev g0urra (~g0urra@unaffiliated/gourra) |

| 20:35.13 | Semlar | you need the opposite of GetMoneyString actually |

| 20:37.50 | Semlar | unfortunately i don't know if it's actually using this to format the statistic |
| 20:38.35 | Semlar | doesn't appear to be |
| 20:39.18 | Semlar | but it does change when you enable colorblind mode |
| 20:39.39 | Semlar | so you need to account for that |

| 20:40.36 | emihir0 | i'm not making a serious addon (yet) |
| 20:40.53 | emihir0 | i do this more to learn, rather than create something useful at the moment |
| 20:42.59 | emihir0 | by turning it to int i want to sort out the table from highest gold acquired to lowest |
| 20:43.05 | emihir0 | it's not that important though |

| 20:48.25 | Semlar | i'm just thinking about how much this is going to spiral out of control |
| 20:48.39 | Semlar | because you're inevitably going to have addons scanning everyone you have onscreen |
| 20:50.15 | Semlar | and you could have an epeen meter right on their heads |

| 20:53.20 | emihir0 | can you point me out some readings/guides on what i need to do/read in order for my addon to use some frames/windows? basically now that i have a table to report, i'd like to report it to a frame/window instead of console |
| 20:53.52 | Semlar | there's almost certainly a pinned topic on wowinterface or something |
| 20:54.03 | emihir0 | ideally stuff that can be adjusted, such as having a line between 2 columns and having it aligned to the left for example |
| 20:54.44 | emihir0 | i'll go cook some food now, quite starving here, so i'll be back later ^_^ |
| 20:55.45 | Semlar | http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12 |
| 20:56.38 | foxlit | forums: it's like the wiki, but worse. |
| 20:56.57 | Semlar | yeah whatever |
| 20:57.30 | Semlar | it's not like i know where any of this info is |
| 20:57.44 | foxlit | I just pretend it doesn't exist; problem solved. |
| 20:58.05 | Semlar | i have become one with the api |
| 20:58.14 | Semlar | i've ascended documentation |
| 20:59.04 | foxlit | almost certainly the wrong verb. |
| 20:59.54 | Semlar | don't try and use grammar at me |
| 21:00.10 | Semlar | how about transcended |
| 21:00.20 | foxlit | I don't think grammar defines what words mean. |
| 21:01.00 | Semlar | throws the book at foxlit |
| 21:01.30 | foxlit | qq, it's not errors all the way down :( |
| 21:02.41 | foxlit | (transcended is the right verb) |
| 21:03.25 | Semlar | i was just testing you |
| 21:30.12 | Unkle | I love that a non-native speaker speaks better English than a native speaker. Because I'm amused by things like that. |
| 21:37.35 | Mr_Rabies | hmm, is there a guide for how the timewalking gear works? i see that it scales on the vendor based on level, but is there any kinda chart for character level->ilvl? |
| 21:37.58 | *** join/#wowuidev karl_w_w (~karl_w_w@110-175-132-56.tpgi.com.au) |
| 21:38.12 | Semlar | you can set the level in the item link |
| 21:38.32 | Semlar | and then pull the item level out of the tooltip |
| 21:38.54 | Mr_Rabies | weird that wowhead's scaling thing isn't used there but uh |
| 21:39.04 | Mr_Rabies | zam sites are all but abandoned at this point |
| 21:40.28 | Semlar | i don't remember which argument was the item's level though |
| 21:41.06 | Semlar | i might have written it down in one of my addons |
| 21:41.53 | Semlar | looks like maybe the 9th entry in the link |
| 21:44.43 | Semlar | level 100: /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff0070dd\124Hitem:129931:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:100:0:0:0:1:692\124h[The Mutilator]\124h\124r"); |
| 21:45.06 | Semlar | level 90: /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff0070dd\124Hitem:129931:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:90:0:0:0:1:692\124h[The Mutilator]\124h\124r"); |
| 21:46.28 | Mr_Rabies | oh well i mean like |
| 21:46.33 | Mr_Rabies | the gear the timewalking vendor sells |
| 21:46.59 | Semlar | what gear does the timewalking vendor sell |
| 21:47.03 | Mr_Rabies | on a level 92 character, i'm getting ilvl 583 or something gear, and on a level 100 i'm getting 675 |
| 21:47.21 | Mr_Rabies | http://www.wowhead.com/npc=101759/kiatke |
| 21:47.56 | Semlar | the scaling seems to be the same |
| 21:49.43 | Semlar | level 92 = 558 /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff0070dd\124Hitem:133540:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:92:0:0:0:1:692\124h[Rotting Skull]\124h\124r"); |
| 21:51.28 | kullervo | what will we do when wowhead with all its databases goes down? |
| 21:51.38 | Semlar | play the game |
| 21:52.12 | Ressy | be completely screwed? |
| 21:52.16 | Semlar | use wowdb |
| 21:52.24 | Ressy | I use both. |
| 21:52.41 | Ressy | But wowhead has lots of stuff that wowdb doesn't. |
| 21:52.41 | Semlar | i'd say use thottbot but it's the same database |
| 21:57.04 | kullervo | wowhead has the best search and layout |
| 21:57.07 | kullervo | probably why it's the most popular |
| 22:06.55 | Gnarfoz | wowdb is simply not advertised much, it doesn't have its own community, etc. how would it ever catch on? |
| 22:07.42 | Torhal | The main reason WoWDB exists is to power data for MMO-Champion. |
| 22:14.06 | Gnarfoz | yes, we've been with it from its birth =D |
| 22:14.11 | Gnarfoz | when it wasn't even wowdb! :D |
| 22:14.26 | Gnarfoz | Sigrie \o/ |
| 22:16.30 | Simca_ | as somebody who knows more about datamining than most; both wowhead and wowdb are missing tons of features i would like to see |
| 22:17.34 | Simca_ | (but the majority of players probably don't care about) |
| 22:18.27 | Gnarfoz | I didn't even drill down this deep at the time, did Cryect work on MMOC stuff back in the day, or did his tools just end up in this pile of stuff I have here, somehow |
| 22:18.51 | Gnarfoz | 2006 :O |
| 22:19.27 | Gnarfoz | probably just a collection of useful tools |
| 22:19.54 | Simca_ | lol 2006 |
| 22:20.15 | Simca_ | mmoc wasn't even made then, i think it was late 2007 |
| 22:20.55 | Gnarfoz | well, the svn tree it's in is from 2008 |
| 22:21.10 | Gnarfoz | Cryect's readme says feb 2006, which adds to my assumption it just ended up in there |
| 22:24.21 | Simca_ | one thing i'd like to see blizzard expose (or a db site build a reader for) is scenescripts |
| 22:24.59 | Simca_ | blizzard writes in-game cutscenes in simple lua now, and it's all quite easy to use. if they exposed it, machinima potential would be incredible |
| 22:27.37 | Simca_ | creative wow videos are part of the enthusiasm that you no longer see really, proper machimina scripting would help bring that back. |
| 22:27.47 | foxlit | the "or" seems entirely useless. |
| 22:28.00 | foxlit | without a way to run those things, it seems pointless to read them. |
| 22:28.36 | Simca_ | when i say build a reader, I mean run them |
| 22:29.11 | Simca_ | it's not outside the scope of known things that can be done, it's just very difficult to put all the pieces together and get a result that is close enough to WoW |
| 22:35.12 | Mr_Rabies | an ingame machinima studio that was locked into a specific area, but basically acted as a holodeck would be neat |
| 22:36.22 | Simca_ | yep, it already exists, just need to expose the ability to feed it .lua files |
| 22:36.34 | bshelden | Would be awesome, but I'm thinking the more... uncouth type would make that a very very bad (but fun!) idea. |
| 22:36.35 | foxlit | (there are still new videos at every blizzcon, so it's not like it's impossible to do without this) |
| 22:36.59 | Simca_ | you can filter out everything around you or you can selectively 'smooth phase' existing NPCs into your 'scene' |
| 22:37.11 | foxlit | the entry barrier might well be intentional, as |
| 22:37.14 | foxlit | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:37.19 | Simca_ | lol |
| 22:38.18 | kullervo | the trouble with that is that the people who make porn are a bit more enthustiastic about it, and make it even without tools being provided |
| 22:42.40 | Mr_Rabies | there's a wow porn game in UE4, i believe |

| 23:33.02 | emihir0 | is there a way to get gametime including seconds? |
| 23:33.12 | emihir0 | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:35.23 | Semlar2 | no |
| 23:36.54 | Semlar2 | well |
| 23:37.24 | Semlar2 | i guess you could track it after about a minute |
| 23:38.18 | emihir0 | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:38.53 | emihir0 | i dont know the format of it though (what units is it in) |
| 23:39.19 | emihir0 | oh 'Number - A number representing the time as a number of seconds since the epoch.' |
| 23:39.22 | emihir0 | wth is epoch |
| 23:39.59 | emihir0 | oh wow Unix time (also known as POSIX time or Epoch time) is a system for describing instants in time, defined as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970 |
| 23:40.14 | emihir0 | so i guess that can be used to get kinda accurate time (hopefully) |
| 23:40.32 | Semlar2 | not really, it gives you the timestamp of the player's computer |
| 23:40.53 | Semlar2 | since you were asking about GetGameTime i assumed you were interested in the server time |
| 23:41.54 | emihir0 | yes |
| 23:42.13 | emihir0 | but aren't they virtually the same (maybe a few seconds delay)? assuming they are the same GMT |
| 23:47.09 | Semlar2 | your system time and the server time aren't the same, i don't know what you're using the timestamp for, but you're almost always going to be relying on the player's system time being accurate |
| 23:56.21 | emihir0 | are we allowed to make addons that will, for example, change user's title every XY seconds? |
| 23:59.23 | Semlar2 | you can't |
| 23:59.34 | Semlar2 | changing your title requires a hardware event |
| 23:59.45 | emihir0 | oh |
| 23:59.49 | nevcairiel | luckily, people used to have such addons and it was very annoying |
