| 00:00.15 | PhatsoTGT | no |
| 00:00.19 | Semlar | why would i name a fontstring |
| 00:00.39 | Predicate | B-but my _G ;_; |
| 00:00.52 | PhatsoTGT | honest Question |
| 00:01.01 | Semlar | local text = frame:CreateFontString(nil, nil, 'GameFontNormal') text:SetText('text') |
| 00:01.15 | PhatsoTGT | would ask this Question even it were a regular Frame? |
| 00:01.17 | Spriithy | Then I don't really get how this works >.> |
| 00:01.19 | Predicate | You might wanna anchor that somewhere, too |
| 00:01.21 | Guill | Semlar: Our entire rendering system is different. Top-level frames are flattened (render all their children in a row) to prevent the slicing you used to get (textures from frame A above some textures from frame B, but below others). You can also explicitly make a frame do that (e.g. Nameplates) |
| 00:01.27 | Spriithy | If I do a couple of :SetText in a row |
| 00:01.35 | Spriithy | Won't that only change the first one? |
| 00:01.36 | PhatsoTGT | doesnt work |
| 00:01.38 | PhatsoTGT | yes |
| 00:02.10 | Predicate | If you set the text of an existing FontString to something new, it will be changed. If you make multiple FontStrings, you can set each of them to a different piece of text. |
| 00:02.10 | Spriithy | Then I must create a new frame for each label ? O.o |
| 00:02.22 | PhatsoTGT | no |
| 00:02.40 | PhatsoTGT | you must create a new FontString for each label |
| 00:02.56 | Spriithy | And place set with :SetPoint ? |
| 00:03.01 | Spriithy | them* |
| 00:03.18 | PhatsoTGT | yes. |
| 00:03.25 | Spriithy | great |
| 00:03.36 | PhatsoTGT | you might wanna look at putting that in a function |
| 00:04.11 | Spriithy | Indeed |
| 00:04.14 | Semlar | you mean i don't have to deal with this nonsense guill? http://i.imgur.com/KfIMB5x.jpg |
| 00:04.31 | Guill | Semlar: Exactly what this was put in to prevent :) |
| 00:04.41 | Semlar | http://i.imgur.com/IsIkvdF.gifv |
| 00:04.51 | Semlar | i don't know i kind of liked this |
| 00:05.27 | Predicate | ~lart Semlar |
| 00:05.27 | purl | pries Semlar's back open with a screwdriver and flashes a new bootldr to Semlar |
| 00:05.33 | Guill | No guarantees that's fixed. There's still no pre-determined render order between different frames at the same strata+level. Make them different levels if you want that to stop. |
| 00:05.34 | Semlar | i had all of my nameplates inside of scrollframes which used to flatten them until you changed something at some point to make them render like everything else |
| 00:06.01 | foxlit | wait, is that an open inviatation to mess with framelevels? |
| 00:06.11 | Semlar | flattens foxlit |
| 00:06.14 | Guill | Semlar: Scroll frames are automatically flattened as well |
| 00:06.34 | foxlit | because 6.x :SetFrameLevel still causes problems. |
| 00:07.14 | Guill | foxlit: What sort of problems? They may be fixed in 7.x |
| 00:07.15 | Semlar | that gif is actually from just hiding and reshowing the frames which apparently gave them different draw orders |
| 00:07.36 | Semlar | i don't even remember what patch that was |
| 00:07.57 | Semlar | timestamp for this is 2 years ago |
| 00:08.08 | foxlit | raising beyond some small byte-like constant causes :Raise to partially fail to work, and some child frames to render below their parents. |
| 00:08.52 | foxlit | CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent):SetFrameLevel(300) -- and open the PvP UI, iirc. |
| 00:09.44 | Gnarfoz | smells like another case of "save ALL the bits" |
| 00:10.46 | Guill | foxlit: That should be fixed. Framelevels shouldn't be compressed like they used to. There used to be an array for each used frame level. Now it's just a sort key, so you can use whatever you want. |
| 00:11.10 | Semlar | is there some way to know which nameplates should be higher than other ones |
| 00:11.11 | foxlit | (bad repro steps, btw, you need something else) |
| 00:11.16 | Guill | Well "whatever you want". Still integers and still n bits, don't remember what n is. |
| 00:11.34 | Semlar | we can scale them based on distance from the camera now? |
| 00:11.49 | Semlar | i think there was one for alpha too |

| 00:12.04 | Guill | Assuming you could figure out the distance to the camera. I'm not sure that's exposed anywhere. |
| 00:12.21 | Guill | :GetDepth shouldn't work on nameplates |
| 00:12.46 | Semlar | i don't need to know the actual distance |
| 00:12.57 | Semlar | just which nameplates are closer to the camera |
| 00:13.09 | Semlar | i want to bring those to the top |
| 00:13.18 | Guill | Semlar: Maybe? Give it a try |
| 00:14.11 | Gnarfoz | semlar + "give it a try" = disaster |
| 00:14.27 | Semlar | o.o |
| 00:14.55 | Semlar | well it's just that there's a cvar for changing the scale and alpha of nameplates based on distance |
| 00:14.59 | Semlar | i haven't tried them yet though |

| 00:16.48 | Semlar | this is why we can't have nice things |
| 00:16.49 | Guill | Does anyone here have an Echo? I'm trying to decide between getting one and waiting for the new Google Home thing... |
| 00:17.10 | Stanzilla | I'd wait |
| 00:17.13 | Guill | foxlit: A+, would click again |
| 00:18.01 | Semlar | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:18.09 | Guill | The only advantage I see for the Echo (other than it having a definite arrival date) is that I use Amazon Music a lot and I assume the Home won't support it. But I'm not sure how good the speaker on the Echo is anyway. |
| 00:18.12 | Semlar | what determines whether something is important |
| 00:18.26 | Gnarfoz | Semlar: I do |
| 00:18.33 | Guill | Probably whether a designer remembered to click the checkbox that says "This dude is important" |
| 00:18.43 | Semlar | sounds good |
| 00:22.29 | Predicate | If we can scale based on that, can we prioritize our precious 30 plates based on that? |
| 00:23.23 | Semlar | i don't think so |
| 00:23.35 | Semlar | not unless hiding a nameplate triggers another one to spawn |
| 00:23.59 | Predicate | Er, right, that was more a question directed at Guill, wrt how the unit IDs get allocated |
| 00:24.01 | Semlar | i honestly have no idea how the game responds to manually hiding a nameplate when there are more than 30 units on screen |
| 00:24.24 | Predicate | It probably doesn't care, since the GUID->unitID mapping has already been set |

| 09:33.34 | VIad | interface\icons\temp |
| 09:33.57 | Semlar | yeah i think they replaced it |
| 09:33.59 | VIad | did you update your map addon for legion, semlar? |
| 09:34.09 | Semlar | i updated foglight |
| 09:34.14 | VIad | ah |
| 09:34.45 | VIad | have you noticed improvements to the map system in legion? |
| 09:35.03 | VIad | I reckon its mostly the questing frames getting updated, not so much the map api |
| 09:35.47 | Semlar | there are a couple new functions that do things you can't currently do but probably aren't of much use to most people |
| 09:35.47 | nevcairiel | speaking of map things, did the structure of WorldMapOverlay or WorldMapArea change for generating this data? |
| 09:35.55 | Semlar | yes |
| 09:35.57 | nevcairiel | i probably need an updated db2 parser |
| 09:36.01 | Semlar | good luck |
| 09:36.25 | Semlar | i don't know if there's any program available right now |
| 09:36.31 | VIad | Semlar: didn't you do this purely using the ingame maths and apis? |
| 09:36.45 | nevcairiel | I should encourage foxlit to update his casc.dbc module, thats what i've been using in my scripts either way |
| 09:36.53 | Semlar | he's been working on it |
| 09:36.58 | NodusCursorius | Arctium's should parse most of the DB2s ( https://arctium-emulation.com/ ) but [TOM_RUS] 's will likely be more updated: https://github.com/tomrus88/dbcviewer |
| 09:37.06 | Semlar | i sort of hacked something together to suit my needs |
| 09:37.20 | Semlar | then i had to figure out what the columns actually were now |
| 09:37.31 | VIad | wtb C_DBC library? |
| 09:37.52 | nevcairiel | the nice thing about casc.dbc is that I can just script it together with the main casc library to just do everything for me at once |
| 09:38.15 | nevcairiel | so for live i just had a script to run and it poops out a new data file |
| 09:39.59 | Semlar | i used to have a fairly nice dbc viewer that guessed the column types and everything |
| 09:40.01 | NodusCursorius | Semlar, which DB were you pulling from? |
| 09:40.13 | Semlar | a lot of them |
| 09:40.18 | VIad | I need to try it later, but wondering if overriding the base mixin table will affect the frames created using said mixin |
| 09:41.18 | Semlar | AreaAssignment, WorldMapArea, AreaTable, WorldMapOverlay |
| 09:41.32 | nevcairiel | what do you do with the Area* tables |
| 09:41.32 | Semlar | Map |
| 09:41.37 | NodusCursorius | Does this match your field findings: https://github.com/tomrus88/dbcviewer/blob/master/DBC%20Viewer/dblayout.xml#L3578 |
| 09:42.24 | nevcairiel | oh foglight also does minimap tiles on the borders |
| 09:42.34 | nevcairiel | i thought it only showed missing data, which would not need those tables |
| 09:42.58 | Semlar | it actually figured out the minimap texture paths from mostly in game functions |
| 09:43.25 | Semlar | but it does need the internal name of the continent |
| 09:43.34 | Semlar | which isn't available from the api function |
| 09:43.55 | VIad | were the textures hashed in some way? I remember some weird names used for the slices |
| 09:44.13 | Semlar | that isn't remotely right NodusCursorius |
| 09:44.48 | nevcairiel | the second entry for WMO matches what live used |
| 09:44.54 | nevcairiel | no clue if it changed in legion |
| 09:44.55 | Alram | yeah i dont think toms is up to date at all |
| 09:44.58 | Alram | wiki isnt either |
| 09:45.01 | Semlar | <PROTECTED> |
| 09:45.03 | Alram | too many changes in recent builds |
| 09:45.28 | nevcairiel | they re-ordered the WMO table huh |
| 09:45.38 | nevcairiel | texturew/h used to be after the area id |
| 09:45.47 | Semlar | this isn't the wmo table |
| 09:45.56 | nevcairiel | WMO=WorldMapOverlay |
| 09:45.57 | NodusCursorius | I should work out the structs today. But I don't know that I want to. |
| 09:45.58 | nevcairiel | so yes it is! |
| 09:46.09 | Semlar | how dare you abbreviate world map overlay to wmo |
| 09:46.17 | Alram | i think blizzard would be mostly done at this point with major changes |
| 09:46.33 | Semlar | there's literally a wmotable file |
| 09:46.34 | Alram | unless they decide to do another dbc format change |
| 09:47.02 | nevcairiel | anyway the changes to WorldMapOverlay seem .. odd. why would they change the order of fields, all fields are otherwise sitll present |
| 09:47.15 | Semlar | they changed the order of most files |
| 09:47.22 | Alram | yeah |
| 09:47.23 | Semlar | i think it's to align the data |
| 09:47.26 | Alram | ^ |
| 09:47.37 | Semlar | the larger fields are generally first |
| 09:47.59 | Semlar | although that's not always the case |
| 09:48.16 | Semlar | also some fields appear to just not contain any information |
| 09:48.21 | Semlar | i don't know why they're there |
| 09:49.16 | Semlar | there's like 19 fields in WorldMapOverlay and only 15 are actually filled in |
| 09:49.53 | NodusCursorius | Why does the client query WorldMapOverlay.db2 and WorldMapOverlay.adb? |
| 09:50.02 | NodusCursorius | Why both? |
| 09:50.09 | Semlar | adb files are to load additional like streaming data |
| 09:50.12 | Alram | all db2s can have adbs right |
| 09:50.18 | Alram | for hotfixes |
| 09:50.32 | Alram | or shipping content without us knowing :( |
| 09:50.42 | NodusCursorius | Alright, thank you. Digging through the code, wanted to understand. |
| 09:50.43 | Semlar | i haven't touched the adb files |
| 09:50.52 | Semlar | although i probably should |
| 09:51.09 | Semlar | i guess they're patching the db2 |
| 09:51.17 | nevcairiel | would the beta use adb much? i figure those get cleared on every client patch eitehr way |
| 09:51.37 | Alram | only if they hotfix things on beta which probably isnt a high priority |
| 09:53.50 | Semlar | the area table isn't necessary for exporting just the map overlays but this file was using it for something at some point |
| 09:54.03 | Semlar | i don't remember what |
| 09:54.32 | nevcairiel | i cross referenced WorldMapOverlay with WorldMapArea for the overlay information I use in Mapster |
| 09:54.51 | nevcairiel | but without the script working, i guess i need to just explore everything in-game! |
| 09:55.07 | Semlar | oh i know, it was to cross reference the exploration achievements |
| 09:55.19 | Semlar | and name the overlays |
| 09:55.34 | Alram | areatable id is the one used in ADTs |
| 09:55.46 | Alram | and maybe WMOs i dont remember |
| 09:57.32 | NodusCursorius | Time to find the .adb files then. |
| 09:58.04 | Alram | game dir/cache/adb/enUS/ |
| 09:58.41 | NodusCursorius | I mean any that may be already stored within the client. |
| 09:58.53 | Alram | i dont think thats a thing |
| 09:59.25 | NodusCursorius | If they'll store compat.lua and pure C code in the client, I'd rather double check to narrow my reverse engineering today. |
| 09:59.41 | nevcairiel | adbs are generally pretty empty, unless they have to hotfix something |
| 10:00.19 | nevcairiel | beta client adbs are bigger than live adbs right noiw though :D |
| 10:00.54 | Alram | im gonna go with format change |
| 10:01.00 | Alram | not actual content |
| 10:01.30 | NodusCursorius | WCH5 headers? |
| 10:01.31 | nevcairiel | dunno, they might as well be hotfixing some bugs in the beta |
| 10:02.02 | Alram | yeah wch5 is the new format |
| 10:02.18 | NodusCursorius | Oh, that's odd. Because ADB isn't new to Legion. |
| 10:02.34 | Alram | its just the adb adaption for the new db2 formats |
| 10:02.38 | nevcairiel | neither is db2, yet the format changed =p |
| 10:02.38 | Alram | https://wowdev.wiki/DB2#WDB4_.28.db2.29_.2F_WCH5_.28.adb.29 |
| 10:02.41 | NodusCursorius | Alram++; |
| 10:04.30 | nevcairiel | i find it kinda funky that legion went through two formats, WDB3 and WDB4 before arriving at WDB5 |
| 10:04.45 | Alram | yeah i gave up implementing then until beta |
| 10:04.49 | Semlar | oh don't worry, there's still time |
| 10:04.51 | Alram | which is now so i guess i should get to work |
| 10:04.57 | NodusCursorius | NO, don't give them ideas |
| 10:05.04 | nevcairiel | but from the wiki, it appears WDB4 is still in use partially? |
| 10:05.13 | nevcairiel | or does the wiki lie |
| 10:05.28 | Alram | that paragraph was written when wdb4 was new i think |
| 10:05.33 | Alram | then wdb5 arrived |
| 10:05.41 | nevcairiel | " is still in use today. It was partially phased out in favor of WDB5 just a few months later, " |
| 10:05.47 | NodusCursorius | Semlar, I'm 99.77777% of the way to having a full extraction of every and all function usage string for API, Cvars, and otherwise. |
| 10:06.07 | Semlar | gently pats NodusCursorius |
| 10:06.21 | NodusCursorius | The petition one is still my favourite. |
| 10:06.23 | nevcairiel | i suppose it may refer to WCH5 basically being WDB4 |
| 10:16.47 | Alram | i think that might not be up to date anymore nevcairiel |
| 10:17.02 | Alram | i recall all db2 files being wdb5 now |

| 20:32.19 | nevcairiel | mobs dont particularly care when you kill them either |
| 20:32.42 | Semlar | would work a lot better in python |
| 20:32.51 | foxlit | > 36.202427 |
| 20:33.56 | Semlar | what's the actual pattern you're matching |
| 20:34.08 | foxlit | a*$ |
| 20:34.45 | Semlar | well with real regex you could use a{0,maxLength} |
| 20:35.03 | Semlar | lua doesn't support this of course |
| 20:35.05 | foxlit | which wouldn't help, like, at all. |
| 20:38.03 | foxlit | (imagine you have a string like "foo^ba^rba^z" without the ^ marks, which denote the anchor positions you want to query; the question I'm looking to answer is "how many a characers occur immediately before a given anchor position?") |
| 20:38.20 | foxlit | so 0, 1 and 1 in that example. |
| 20:43.36 | Semlar | and you can't just use something like p = ('.'):rep(l) for q in s:gmatch(p) ? |
| 20:44.33 | Semlar | you want it to start from the beginning of the string and increase its length |
| 20:46.46 | Semlar | i'm not sure if there's an efficient way to do overlapping matches |
| 20:47.28 | foxlit | I don't quite see how this is related. |
| 20:48.03 | Semlar | you want to match a pattern against a substring that ends in a specific position |
| 20:48.31 | foxlit | okay so far. |
| 20:48.33 | Semlar | you can use gmatch to give you those substrings without calling :sub a bunch of times |
| 20:49.18 | Semlar | i don't know if you just started from 1 in your example because you wanted to start from the start of the original string every time |
| 20:49.51 | Semlar | or if you wanted to break down the string into n length sections |
| 20:50.31 | foxlit | as far as I'm concerned, sub and gmatch are equivalent for that purpose; they'd still have to do the same string allocation. |
| 20:51.08 | Semlar | okay but your example substring starts at position 1 on every iteration, so it's getting successively longer |
| 20:51.09 | foxlit | (the point of the :sub code was to say that you don't necessarily just want to slice strings in Lua, immutability makes each one a copy.) |

| 20:52.19 | Semlar | the gmatch isn't going to start from 1, it's going to split the string into specific length sections |
| 20:52.34 | Semlar | so i don't know which one you're after |
| 20:53.27 | foxlit | In the mean version of this, I'm not going to tell you the upper limit on the size of the prefix, so you need the entire 1...query substring. |
| 20:54.18 | foxlit | In the easy version, given that the prefix is at most X chars, you should just use :sub(query-X, query):match(whatever) |
| 20:58.43 | foxlit | (the annoyance is that the regex engine should probably already optimize $-anchored queries, so if I could also tell that where the "end" of the string is, this would be so easy in comparison to all the work-around solutions) |
| 21:19.06 | Predicate | I need a git wizard. |
| 21:20.36 | Simca | git push; "Sorry, you didn't say pretty please." > installs something else to handle that for me |
| 21:23.04 | foxlit | Simca: what can you tell me about the last field of AreaPOIState.db2 in legion? |
| 21:23.55 | foxlit | or, more specifically, it's type: byte, byte[4], or uint32? |
| 21:24.34 | Simca | i'm guessing the latter, let me check |
| 21:25.17 | Simca | byte |
| 21:25.37 | Simca | as for the field itself, I have no idea. I have down here as "21414_Short3" |
| 21:25.49 | foxlit | it's all 0s, so it's a bit moot. |
| 21:26.00 | Simca | 21414 is quite recent, so it having no data isn't too surprising - it usually takes about 10 builds for data to show up after they add fields |
| 21:26.16 | foxlit | however, your paste has DBFilesClient\AreaPOIState.db2,0x49eff4c0,5,-1,string,int16,byte,byte,uint32 |
| 21:26.42 | Simca | yes, the uint32 is reduced to 8-bits, as specified by the header of the db2 itself |
| 21:27.07 | Semlar | Approximate signature.. 1s1h6c |
| 21:28.07 | Semlar | i should probably make this tell me if all of the fields in a column are 0 |
| 21:28.52 | Simca | i added code recently to combat the extra columns of '0' added by incorrectly assuming that padding was array fields |
| 21:28.59 | foxlit | Did I mention there's only one number type in the universe? |
| 21:29.28 | Semlar | is it "number" ? |
| 21:29.47 | foxlit | yes it is. |
| 21:29.52 | Semlar | figures |
| 21:30.24 | Semlar | i ran into a 2 byte bit flag field so i need to expand my guessing game |
| 21:30.47 | foxlit | flag1, flag2 |
| 21:31.01 | foxlit | no, wait, not an 8-byte bit flag. |
| 21:31.06 | foxlit | just short flag, then? |
| 21:31.11 | Simca | yeah |
| 21:31.27 | Simca | guessing float vs bitfield is so much trouble I just pretend bitfields are uints and handle them later |
| 21:31.35 | Semlar | it has a 4 byte bit flag field and a 2 byte bit flag field but i'm only "guessing" the type of 4 byte fields and assuming based on the length of the rest |
| 21:32.11 | Semlar | so i need to adjust it to guess the shorter fields too |
| 21:32.16 | Simca | the way to determine what is a float and what is not a float is by looking for the exponent bits, but those bits COULD just be the most common bits in a bitfield |
| 21:32.22 | Simca | and it would cause a misidentification |
| 21:32.36 | Simca | so that's way too much hassle |
| 21:33.20 | Simca | http://www.curseforge.com/paste/665619b6 what i do to deal with padding-related psuedo-columns |
| 21:34.35 | Simca | basically, if the difference between the final col's position with count = 1 and the end of the record isn't divisible by the largest field size, check them for zeroes, then if every value is a zero, mark it for removal. iterate over the last array like that until you encounter a non-zero or you reach the first index for that array (which must be real), whichever comes first |

| 21:40.30 | Simca | if so, cute |

| 21:54.04 | Infus | "American"...? |
| 21:54.12 | Semlar | it turns out a 2 byte field isn't 4 bytes |
| 21:56.03 | Simca | I did mention this in the article somewhere |
| 21:56.36 | Simca | Note that the WoW binary's DB2Meta will often disagree with the 'field_structure' (DB2Meta might say 'int32' but the field_structure block says the size is '3-bytes'). In those cases, the field_structure block takes priority. |
| 21:56.59 | Semlar | yeah yeah, i was just trying to read 2 bytes as a 32 bit int |
| 21:57.10 | Semlar | so it was reading into the next column |
| 21:58.21 | Semlar | Approximate signature.. 1s1h2c4. |
| 21:59.55 | Semlar | i may not want to skip the columns completely if they aren't at the end because that's going to throw my field count off |
| 22:00.47 | Semlar | do you know if any files have blank columns that aren't at the end? |
| 22:00.58 | Simca | yep, plenty |
| 22:01.07 | Semlar | which one |
| 22:01.17 | Simca | that is why i would only remove them from the final column and only if that one is an array |
| 22:01.45 | Simca | uh, just about any random garrison db2 has a column of pure zero somewhere |
| 22:02.34 | Simca | GarrMisson has one right in the middle |
| 22:04.16 | Semlar | Approximate signature.. 2i2s3i4f5h1..9c1h1.2h1c3. lol |

| 23:05.02 | Guill | Semlar: I actually did get started in writing a super awesome masking system. Then I got pulled off on to "more important" stuff and didn't have time to finish it :( Hopefully for 7.x or 8.0... |

| 23:05.46 | Semlar | isn't there a masking function already, but it only works for internal texture paths for some reason |
| 23:05.53 | *** join/#wowuidev Kraps (~chatzilla@unaffiliated/kraps) |
| 23:05.57 | Guill | Was basically going to let you specify a frame (or individual textures? don't remember) as alpha masks to another frame. Then you could even use the existing animation system to do cool effects |
| 23:06.34 | Semlar | like you can do texture:SetMask but you can't use your own textures |
| 23:06.42 | Simca | something that would be really nice Guill is a lookup of FileDataID to Name for UI Interface files |
| 23:07.03 | Guill | Semlar: The less people use SetMask, the better. It just copies the texture and masks it on the CPU :P |
| 23:07.05 | Semlar | i think he's trying to get rid of all of the names |
| 23:07.29 | Guill | Simca: Yeah, the goal is (someday) not to use file names at all. Atlases are the way of the future! |
| 23:07.57 | Semlar | how are we supposed to know what anything is if it's just a number |
| 23:08.03 | Simca | ManifestInterfaceData has the list that is used to output the assets for the console |
| 23:08.22 | Simca | that should be enough for any FileDataID to Name function, if it was only exposed |
| 23:08.31 | Guill | Semlar: I'm not sure what you could actually figure out from the texture path that would be accurate anyway. Textures are in the wrong folder all the time, they get reused for things they weren't originally intended for, etc. |
| 23:09.14 | Simca | plus about 10% of filenames have typos because not being able to spell is a mandatory requirement to name files at blizzard |
| 23:09.19 | Semlar | isn't that why you removed the ability to get the cooldown of a spell or something |
| 23:09.29 | Semlar | so we have to scrape the tooltip for it |
| 23:10.01 | Semlar | maybe it was the cost of a spell |
| 23:10.03 | Semlar | i don't remember |
| 23:10.08 | Guill | Simca: Not just name files. I found a function with the same word misspelled 3 different ways within 10 lines of each other :( |
| 23:10.19 | Simca | the day I had to add 'HODE' to my list of 'colors' for item sets was just sad |
| 23:10.24 | Simca | i mean really |
| 23:10.52 | Semlar | hodor? |
| 23:11.04 | foxlit | Guill: how does that work with overriding files in e.g. Interface\Icons? |
| 23:11.20 | Guill | But now you have a function to get the cost of spells that actually works :) And it wasn't just that it was inaccurate. We changed how costs worked internally and that was going to totally bork the function |
| 23:11.33 | Semlar | filedata id 1121272 |
| 23:11.56 | Guill | foxlit: How does what work? |
| 23:12.08 | Simca | Interface\Minimap\ObjectIconsAtlas.BLP |
| 23:12.08 | Simca | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:12.26 | foxlit | There are a few "addons" which contain alternative BLP versions of spell icons, mostly by varying their borders. |
| 23:13.09 | foxlit | Semlar: https://www.townlong-yak.com/framexml/beta/Helix/ArtTextureID.lua#22306 |
| 23:13.21 | Simca | i seriously doubt anything that replaces game assets (like some music and icon 'addons' do) will work now |
| 23:13.34 | Guill | That's a problem for future me. Before we retire filenames (if we ever actually do), we'll probably add a way to register your own Atlases/override existing ones. |
| 23:14.12 | Guill | Not sure what the solution is for stuff like sound files. |
| 23:14.46 | Simca | well, everyone outside of the UI team already did retire filenames, I think - FileData isn't read by the game client now. only ManifestInterfaceData is read and i'm not sure what extent that gets used (probably not for loading files?) |
| 23:16.16 | Simca | I guess there's ManifestMP3 too but that's just a list of filedataIDs |
| 23:16.53 | Semlar | how do we get the spell cost now? |
| 23:17.14 | Semlar | i just remember having to write a ridiculous tooltip scraping function after it was removed from GetSpellInfo |
| 23:18.17 | Simca | pretty sure there's getpower* functions in legion |
| 23:18.28 | Simca | or something along those lines |
| 23:18.37 | Simca | PowerType was revamped in Legion to make more sense |
| 23:19.42 | Semlar | so there's something in legion but not on live? |
| 23:20.04 | Semlar | the realms appear to be down |
| 23:21.19 | Semlar | also WowB.exe doesn't end when i close it |
| 23:21.30 | Semlar | it just stays open maxing out a cpu core |

| 23:22.35 | Munk | supposedly a new build is underway, but they've been down for some time |
| 23:24.31 | Simca | Semlar: GetAlternatePowerInfoByID is a function for both live and legion |
| 23:24.36 | Simca | does that do what you want? |
| 23:24.54 | Semlar | i want the cost of a spell |
| 23:25.01 | Semlar | i don't think that returns it |
| 23:25.17 | Simca | 'power' is cost |
| 23:25.34 | Simca | it's not clear what 'ID' is based on the function name but it seems likely to be spellID |
| 23:26.03 | Semlar | ID is power id |
| 23:26.28 | Semlar | it returns information about alt power types |
| 23:26.36 | Simca | ah, ok |
| 23:26.42 | Semlar | barType, minPower, startInset, endInset, smooth, hideFromOthers, showOnRaid, opaqueSpark, opaqueFlash, anchorTop, powerName, powerTooltip, costString = GetAlternatePowerInfoByID(barID) |
| 23:26.46 | Simca | GetSpellPowerCost? |
| 23:27.05 | Semlar | wtf |
| 23:27.39 | Semlar | when did they add GetSpellPowerCost? |
| 23:27.52 | Simca | dunno, probably recent |
| 23:27.56 | Simca | but it's in Live and Legion |
| 23:28.00 | foxlit | 6.1.0 |
| 23:28.17 | Simca | looks like it returns a 'costTable' |
| 23:28.18 | Semlar | http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/14881058187 before or after this |
| 23:28.34 | Semlar | it better not have already existed |
| 23:28.36 | Simca | after, that |
| 23:28.39 | Simca | is very old |
| 23:29.44 | Simca | yeah, they added it in 6.1 for their mana cost predictors |

| 23:56.08 | Simca | it's nice to have the functionality to be able to open any db2 at will without any strings attached |
| 23:56.28 | Simca | that's why binary type data is optional in my case |
| 23:56.52 | Simca | you give me a db2 from any WDB2/WDB5 version of WoW, and it will be able to be opened and read |
| 23:57.23 | foxlit | Can I give you Item-sparse? |
| 23:57.42 | Simca | i can export an item-sparse for this build, yeah |
| 23:58.04 | Simca | let me see if i fixed column names for wdb5 for it |
| 23:58.13 | foxlit | Why are there like 3 completely empty string columns in the middle of it? |
| 23:58.39 | Simca | part of a string array - name[4] |
| 23:58.52 | Simca | they have that in several different formats for some reason, I don't understand why |
| 23:59.01 | Simca | items, objects, and npcs all have name[4] string arrays |
| 23:59.10 | Simca | but only name[0] is ever used |
| 23:59.34 | Simca | ah it's not even technically an array here |
| 23:59.56 | Simca | maybe because char[][] looks stupid |
