03:12.30znfSo, here's something FUN from the knobs & buttons that developers use to tune classes
03:12.43znfYou know that "hidden" aura that they push around to tune damage?
03:13.11znfFor Shadow Priests, it also affects Condensed Life-Fore
03:13.34znfBecause for some reasons we are still "flagged" as a pet class (lol, shadowfiend)
03:13.54znfSo our Elemental from CLF does 32% less damage than, say, a Demon Hunter's

21:27.43netametai wonder if there's a way to do a peron like that
21:33.00ThiefMasterWTF why did the twitch updater give me the -classic version of this addon?! https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/sexymap/files
21:33.34Mr_Rabiesit probably didn't, but it displays that as the latest version for whatever reason
21:33.49Mr_Rabiescheck the .toc for the one it actually downloaded, almost guarantee it's 80200
21:34.24ThiefMasterit did install the classic version (i noticed it because it was broken ingame)
21:36.15Maldivianetameta: there is, yes
21:36.32Maldivianetameta: https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/UI_escape_sequences
21:37.05Mr_Rabiestwitchcurse is a bit of a mess still, like for example
21:37.07Mr_Rabieshttps://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/libjostle-3-0/files
21:37.18netametaMaldivia, Thanks i will check now. got smoke coming out of my brain
21:37.28Mr_Rabiesoh nvm "view all" to see alpha versions
21:37.29netametai am slow roasting my brain here.
21:37.30Mr_Rabiesi'm dumb
21:37.44netametaMr_Rabies, No you are not !!
21:37.59netametaYou can do anything you put your mind into !
21:38.51Maldivianetameta: also check SetItemRef -- https://www.townlong-yak.com/framexml/ptr/ItemRef.lua
21:39.49netametaMaldivia, still reading the first link
21:40.04ThiefMasterfor Details it also 'downgraded' me to classic.. looks like restarting twitch (there was an update pending) and reinstalling those addons helped
21:40.13Maldivianetameta: the wiki is incomplete, there are a lot more these days :D
21:40.48netametaI just want to display a colored link for player name so they can clink and get /who
21:41.04Maldivianetameta: like 80% of the ItemRef.lua file is basically parsing those links and deciding what to do :D
21:41.06netametai think escape sequences is what i was looking for
21:44.13*** join/#wowuidev Ketho (~Ketho@2a02:a44e:ac87:1:3da8:f068:7da0:87a6)
21:44.42KethoMaldivia: it would help if you linked to wowpedia instead https://wow.gamepedia.com/UI_escape_sequences
21:45.02MaldiviaKetho: ah yeah, sorry
21:45.47Maldiviahad to google to find the link, and that returned the wowwiki one instead
21:46.26Maldivianetameta: so yeah, see https://wow.gamepedia.com/UI_escape_sequences instead
21:46.50netametaThanks
21:46.51Kethowowwiki has been dead for a while but still has better SEO for some reason
21:46.55Maldivianetameta: also see https://www.townlong-yak.com/framexml/ptr/ItemRef.lua#458 -- there is a function called GetPlayerLink that will create a link-string for you
21:47.29Maldivianetameta: GetPlayerLink("netameta", "netameta")
21:48.10MaldiviaKetho: yeah, and I knew this, had just forgotten that wowwiki was the dead one
21:48.51netametaNICE !!!!
21:49.08netametaand i can just color that one the way i like
21:49.16netametaso much time spending on that shit !
21:50.34netametaI will still not be able to check their classes/level unless i add them to friends though Maldivia
21:51.09Maldivianetameta: you can /who them in the background
21:51.24Maldivianetameta: or if you've seen them say something in chat you already have the info
21:52.26netametayou can /who progrematically ?
21:53.20Maldiviadon't think /who is linked to hardware event -- but not sure, haven't done that in a long time
21:56.05znffoxlit, Unshackled Mercenaries don't show ❤️❤️❤️ in Warplan
21:56.12foxlityeah.
21:56.29foxlitBut they're gated behind the rep grind, so screw that.
21:57.13znf:(
21:57.22znfwhat can I give to you?
21:57.45netametaMaldivia, so basically do a addMessage with /who and parse the seponse ?
21:57.53foxlit15 ankoan emissaries in a row?
21:58.04Maldiviano no
21:58.11netametathe /who is not a function i can call
21:58.22znffoxlit, I barely got them once since I got the unlock...
21:58.46Maldivianetameta: https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_C_FriendList.SendWho
22:00.22znffoxlit, I'm assuming their Waterborne ability is not taken into calculations, right?
22:00.52Maldivianetameta: but where are you getting the player names from to begin with?
22:01.06netametaThe player name i get from the proxy
22:01.21netametaso that shouldnt be an issue
22:02.32netametaMaldivia, this api just print the /who
22:03.24netametaI think i will have to either somehow parse the /who message or toy with friendlist
22:03.28foxlitznf: dunno. On one hand, it doesn't actually need to know about the ability to assign things to groups, on the other, I don't remember how aggressively it exploits the fact that troops are (mostly) interchangeable.
22:04.04netametaAh so, Maldivia WHO_LIST_UPDATE is fired when t
22:04.17Maldivianetameta: API C_FriendList.SendWho sends the who request to the server... when the response is there, the WHO_LIST_UPDATE event fires, and then you can read the response using C_FriendList.GetWhoInfo
22:04.39Maldivianetameta: and "the proxy"?
22:04.59netametaFuck me sideways with this
22:05.03netametaseems such a simple taxk
22:05.23Maldiviait's an async task of course, since you have to query the server
22:05.26netametai guess i will have to play with that
22:05.30netametayea
22:05.33Maldiviaso send request, wait for response
22:05.42znffoxlit, can I /dump something for you? :P
22:05.44netametathat's alright,
22:05.48netametaAs for whos proxy
22:06.01netametawhat i am making is something for vanilla
22:06.16Maldiviaby vanilla, you mean Classic?
22:06.37netametaMaldivia, Yes,  If i am not mistaken back then there wasnt a global channel everyone was on
22:06.47netametato recruit or look for party you had to be in big city
22:07.00netametaand use trade channel
22:07.07netameta- correct me if i am wrong
22:07.44netametaSo what i am writing right now, is 1 alt stay in say IF or SW, (its the proxy) and main just go do what it wants wherever it wants.
22:08.44netametaproxy spams trade channel for recruitment or LFG. and any message it gets are being proxied to the officers list
22:08.56netametaand so on
22:09.13MaldiviaLookingForGroups is NOT capital-only in Classic
22:09.19foxlitznf: probably not.
22:09.44netametamight not be capital only, but people barely use it
22:09.44znf:(
22:10.05Maldiviait's the advertised channel from Blizzard, for the way to look for groups
22:10.12netametawell when i played vanilla, most chat was through trade channel and capital
22:10.13Maldiviait's even listed in the Primer
22:10.29Maldiviawell, Classic != Vanilla
22:10.34netametaI understand, but still
22:10.56netametaWell. even now on live people use trade channel and not LFG for recruitment
22:11.00Mr_Rabiesi really wish you could dismiss troops
22:11.01Mr_Rabies:<
22:11.30netametaMaldivia, So if this is the case in classic to. i have a solution.
22:12.39foxlitFind the nearest lethal mission and suicide them? :)
22:12.51Maldivianetameta: so you want to have everyone install your addon, and then people using your addon communicate over an addon channel, where whomever is appointed proxy that is in a capital forwards the trade-chat to through the addon-channel, so everyone using the addon can see what's happening in Trade?
22:13.49netametaEveryone ? no no no
22:14.13netametaJust my proxy installing proxy, and me / other officers in the guild installing the officer's addon
22:14.28netametafor other people its all the same
22:14.53Maldiviayou mentioned a level 1 alt and a main... they can't be logged on at the same time unless it's different accounts
22:15.18netametalevel 5 alt cant send messages before
22:15.25netametaand you are correct about 2 account
22:15.45netametaAnd the addon channel would have been smarter i chose to use whispers for some odd reason
22:16.57netametaI am close to be done, just gonna get the /who done.
22:17.07netametathen finish the options page
22:17.14netametaand the spam buttons and done
22:17.29netametathen i'll share you can see what i was referring to
22:17.42Maldiviawell, there's a limit on number of who's you can do
22:22.31Mr_Rabies<foxlit> Find the nearest lethal mission and suicide them? :)
22:22.36Mr_Rabiesjust did, but it takes 6 hours
22:22.41Mr_Rabiesthen again i do like two missions a week so
22:23.03Maldivianetameta: so let me get this straight - you're recording trade channel data using your proxy, and then sending it to your main?
22:27.45MaldiviaAlram: no dancer?
22:32.48netametaMaldivia, no no
22:33.47Maldivianetameta: you mentioned you got the player names from the proxy -- and where does that get the player names from?
22:33.56netametaProxy sits in IF, and spam something like, guild ab looking for members...., someone saw the message and replay to the proxy, the proxy take that message and send it to the officer
22:34.14netametaofficer see the message and can replay to it, - the replay will go to the proxy and from proxy to the user
22:35.22Maldiviaah ok -- and why doesn't the proxy just record the player guid of the person who sent the message to the proxy, and relays that to the officer as well; that gives you name, race, class, realm info already
22:36.32netametawhat is what yhou said ?
22:36.36netametaguid
22:36.44Maldivia<PROTECTED>
22:36.49netametawhats that ?
22:37.08Maldiviaevery single npc, mob, player etc has a guid
22:37.17netametaOk
22:37.29netametawhat is that guid though
22:37.54Maldiviaa string like "Player-4564-000DFDCA"
22:38.26Maldiviayou can then use the C_PlayerInfo API to get information about that guid
22:38.53netametaI assume that's also async ?
22:39.01Maldiviano
22:39.09netametaand will that API be available on classic ?
22:39.14Maldiviayes
22:39.18netametathis whole guid/c_player ?
22:39.24netametaAh ok so how do i do that ?
22:39.31nevcairielOnly works if the GUID you are querying is actually known to the client you are querying it from though
22:39.41nevcairielie. it needs to have seen the player it belongs to
22:39.48nevcairieleither in chat, or in the world
22:40.00Maldiviawell, the proxy would do the query ofcourse, and relay the info to the officer
22:40.34Maldiviasince the guid is part of the CHAT_MSG_WHISPER sent to the proxy
22:41.58netametahmm that might limit message length by alot
22:42.03netametabut if this works its amazing
22:42.25netametaso basically user send a message to proxy, proxy will be able to get level/class ?
22:42.44netametajust from the guid ?
22:42.54Maldiviaclass, race, gender
22:42.57Maldivianot level, since that changes
22:43.20netametaNot even at that moment ?
22:43.48netametaLike what was the level at that moment ?
22:44.44netametaMaldivia, Where can i find some info about C_PlayerInfo API
22:45.25Maldiviathe API Documentation in the framexml, wowpedia, etc -- basically the links we've already given you
22:49.26netametaI think what i am going to do is, once shift clicked on a username tab happend i will just do a /who
22:49.46netametaso it will allow the normal /who
22:50.09netametaand Maybe do the guide with class
22:50.14netametaguid*
22:50.46Maldiviayou get class from /who as well
22:50.56netametaYea i know :-)
22:51.36netametaWill just do /who on every new conversation opened to get the class
22:51.52netametaand allow officers to do /who to see current level
22:52.01netametamuch simpler
22:52.31netametaThen i will just search for the current class colors (should have it somewhere) and i think i will be done
23:05.07netametaMaldivia, hmm well none of the /whos give an update
23:06.54Maldivia?
23:07.34netametaNevermind melfunctioning brain
23:12.16netametaMaldivia, hmm if search results in more then 3 result the UI window opens
23:12.19netametabaaah
23:12.56MaldiviaC_FriendList.SetWhoToUi(false)
23:13.09netametaDone that
23:13.13netametaStill shows up
23:13.40netametaInfact i have that in like 7 places in my code :-)
23:17.00Ketholike Maldivia said, if someone whispers you, you have the guid and can use https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_GetPlayerInfoByGUID on it
23:27.42netametaUnitGUID("unit") doesnt know Name-Reaml
23:28.08Maldiviathat's not a unit
23:30.32netametaSo i am going to have to break this
23:37.29*** join/#wowuidev Gethe (~Gethe@2605:a601:aa00:e700:b822:4141:9798:a8a2)
23:42.41netametaWell UnitGUID is not reliable at all
23:42.53netametai am trying to do it on players near me .. nothing
23:42.57netametaon myself it works
23:43.02Maldiviait's 100% reliable
23:43.49netameta-- /script  print(UnitGUID("Sephytrea"));
23:44.02netametavery simple script, i am on top of people in silvermoon
23:44.05netametaSW
23:44.11netametaand i get nil
23:44.17MaldiviaUnitGUID works on a unit string, meaning "player", "party1", "raid1" etc... player-names work IF and ONLY IF they are in your party/raid
23:44.32netametaSo how does it work on myself ?
23:44.42Maldiviabecause you're in your own party always
23:44.43netametawhen i do my own name it works
23:45.17netametaMaldivia, try it on yourself, with your name it works
23:45.37Maldiviayes, becaues you're in your own party
23:45.43netametaAh
23:45.57netametaOk so whats the alternative ? how can i fetch GUID using a name ?
23:46.23Maldiviafrom name alone - you don't
23:46.37Maldiviabut if t hey whisper you, then GUID is part of the event
23:47.32netametalike its part of the arguments ?
23:48.02Maldiviayes
