00:45.37RessyI sorta added a new Dump.
00:45.41Ressyto ARL
00:46.23Ressyhttp://www.wowace.com/paste/6411/
00:46.51TorhalI'm pretty sure that isn't a sorta.
00:48.48Ressylol
00:48.50RessyIs it ok?
00:48.57RessyI needed some Season info to add it.
00:48.59TorhalIt gets the job done.
00:49.03Ressykk :)
00:49.08Ressylots of blank entries.. *shrugs*
00:49.09TorhalI don't think Day of the Dead is in there
00:49.13TorhalOr at least, it wasn't
00:51.46Ressyhm.
00:51.51Ressymade it searchable instead. :)
00:52.21Torhallulz
00:54.07Ressyyup. still no day of the dead
00:55.44TorhalFuck. They need 29k to hit 4mil and there are 4 minutes :/
00:55.55TorhalAnd 1.2k more backers for a 14th dungeon level
00:56.01TorhalMeh.
00:56.16TorhalUnless they count PayPal payments, that is
01:26.37AckisTorhal: you think we should tag an arl?
01:26.53Ressywould fix the germans. :)
01:27.17Ackisand russians and etc
01:27.27TorhalIf there've been fixes to get folks actually running the thing, plus I don't believe we've had a tag since all the MoP shit was added.
01:32.10pompyAckis: lemm eknow when you want to hunt rares, lol.
01:52.06AckisTorhal: have you looked at my datamining stuff yet?
01:52.19Ressyin collectinator for pets?
01:52.32Ackisyeah
01:52.40TorhalI actually didn't know you'd done more since this morning.
01:52.48RessyI saw it added in commented lines, saying what zones they're in
01:52.48Ressy:D
01:53.28Ackisright now I'm parsing the source_text mainly by trial and error
01:53.43TorhalAckis: Look at Pet Theory
01:53.51TorhalPopulateSortedList specifically
01:54.55TorhalOh, nevermind
01:54.57TorhalBWAH
01:55.12TorhalI decided not to handle that yet, I just do a find on current zone
01:55.16TorhalAckis: ^
01:55.19Ackislol
01:56.02Ackisironically the hardest part was for me to figure out a way to get the critter name when you only have the creature ID
01:56.50TorhalAckis: http://www.wowace.com/paste/c3yzpkbj8reuo21f/ <-- sidji's code
01:58.36Ackisone of the problems I ran in to was blizzard isn't consistent with how they list the zone names
01:58.59Ackise.g. look at the Yakrat location data
01:59.32Ackisand then look at the black rat
02:08.03TorhalYup
03:13.05RessyDoing a search in mount side of collectinator, results in a loop of errors in Panel line 512
03:15.30TorhalRessy: Pull.
03:16.16Ressythx
03:18.33Ressydone for the night. I'm exhausted...
03:18.39Ressynight guys. :)
03:18.46Ackisnight
03:23.10TorhalSame.
03:32.05Ackisnight torhal
06:54.12*** join/#arl Elkano (~elkano@WoWUIDev/WoWAce/Elkano)
07:04.36TorhalMeh.
07:04.47TorhalSo much for that.
07:04.50TorhalJust woke up.
07:05.08Elkanoand you intended to stay asleep for at least 5 more hours?
07:06.51TorhalMost definitely.
07:07.09TorhalI either can't sleep to begin with or only sleep between 3 and 4 hours.
07:07.12TorhalIt's maddening.
07:08.01Elkanosucks :/ I manage ~6hrs during weekdays and a bit during public transit
07:13.56TorhalMakes coding incredibly difficult at work.
07:20.55sidjimorning
07:21.19TorhalYola.
07:29.20sidjiAckis: they list the zone names as strings in BattlePetSpecies.db2
07:31.45sidjito get the name of the pet use  GetPetInfoBySpeciesID(speciesID)
07:32.55sidjior GetPetInfoByPetID(petID) if you only have the unique pet number
07:33.29Torhalsidji: I believe he was talking about the NPC ID (which they call creatureID in their code for some ungodle reason).
07:33.40Torhalungodly*
07:34.14sidjiah
07:36.31sidjidid some pet battles yesterday... echo isles did not match any pet
07:37.10TorhalNot surprising. Blizzard and consistency in the same sentence is "lolwut?"
07:39.16sidjiperhaps an own lookup table is the best way
07:41.00TorhalYah, but that's what we do with collectinator anyway.
07:41.08TorhalI jst didn't want to deal with it twice.
07:41.09TorhalHeh.
07:45.20sidjidamn "Fixed an issue that caused the August Celestials quest hub at the Cradle of Chi-Ji to always be available."

17:56.09Torhal|workRessy: We thought you were abducted. Ackis cried. A lot.
17:57.01AckisTorhal|work: she already knows why I needed her :P
18:00.33RessyI had that damned Education thing this morning
18:01.11Ressytax updates for 2012 personal tax returns, and tax planning
18:01.42Ackissounds fun
18:02.31Ressynot really
18:02.36RessyStarted passing out for a bit..
18:02.49Ressyso I pulled out my cellphone and checked twitter
18:02.49Ressykept me awake
18:03.59Ackishappy birthday pompy :D
19:14.46Ackisgood news the scanner seems to work for battle pets!!!
19:14.48AckisTorhal|work: ^
19:15.50Torhal|workAckis: Cool
19:16.18Ackiswell it worked for my first test case and blew up for my second lulz
19:16.29Torhal|workMOAR TESTING
19:18.57Ressylol
19:19.41Ackishad to change my logic, makes it a bit harder to deal with but fuck me
19:20.09Ressyhow many pets you guys have?
19:20.20Torhal|workAckis: I'd prefer not
19:20.28Torhal|workRessy: Meh. 140?
19:20.33Ackis367 unique Ressy
19:20.37Ressy...
19:20.40Ressydamn
19:21.06Torhal|workI'm going to say this again: Fuck Blizzard's NPC AI.
19:21.24Torhal|workI'm standing ON A FUCKING SHADO-PAN NPC and he just stands there while this Mantid attacks me.
19:21.37AckisTorhal|work: do you know where I can get a list of pet_id's from?
19:21.52Torhal|workAckis: Sure. Enable all filters and iterate the fucking list. :D
19:22.16AckisTorhal|work: other than that you jackass :P
19:22.27Torhal|workWhy would you want a non-simple way?
19:22.30Torhal|workWeirdo.
19:22.41Ressylol
19:23.25AckisTorhal|work: isn't that something wowdb could say collect/track?
19:24.04Torhal|workAckis: http://www.wowdb.com/npcs/36911-pandaren-monk
19:24.21Torhal|workIf you want the PET ID, I'm pretty sure that's internal/
19:24.55Ackisbecause for me to use the creature ID I need to iterate all the pets by petID and find a match... it's not pretty
19:25.22Torhal|workDude
19:25.30Torhal|workBattle Pets you don't own have NO pet ID
19:25.39Torhal|workSo do what I said: Turn on all the fucking filters and iterate the list.
19:26.03Ackisliar
19:26.14Ackiszooey snake I don't own has a pet id of 11305076
19:26.48Torhal|workWhatever.
19:27.15Ackisahahahahahhahahah
19:27.16Torhal|workYou're doing something wrong then
19:27.22Torhal|workBecause they don't have pet IDs
19:29.33AckisTorhal|work: can you test something for me in WoW? I want to see if it blows up or not... _G.C_PetJournal.GetPetInfoByPetID(11305076) <-- run that
19:30.15Torhal|workJust to fucking humor you
19:30.16Torhal|work_G.C_PetJournal.GetPetInfoByPetID(11305076) => nil
19:30.19Torhal|workExactly what I said
19:30.26Ackisnot for me
19:30.33Torhal|workIt's INTERNAL
19:30.37Torhal|workAs in, client-specific
19:30.40Torhal|workGoofball.
19:30.49AckisI thought you meant Internal to blizzard
19:30.53Torhal|workNo.
19:37.11Torhal|workAckis: The index for IteratePetIDs isn't the actual Journal index - if you're using it that way that's why it's saying the pet ID belongs to Zooey Snake
19:37.48Torhal|workThat's why that lib has limited usefulness to us.
19:40.19AckisTorhal|work: it's because the functions to get data about a pet are based on pet_id and not creature_id, so for me to do a lookup by creature_id (aka npc_id) I need to parse all the pets and look for a match and then get the info by the matches pet_id, and a lookup table won't work because as you said it's internal to the client
19:40.44Torhal|workI managed to do it in Pet Theory
19:40.45Torhal|work:D
19:41.09AckisI've managed to do it as well
19:41.11Torhal|workIt isn't on pet id
19:41.18Torhal|workBecause unknows have no pet ID
19:41.26Torhal|workstabs Ackis with a pillow.
19:41.45AckisI'm getting pet_id's for unknowns
19:41.50Torhal|workThere are methods that operate on pet ID and methods which operate on index
19:41.57Torhal|workShow me
19:41.57Ackisyes
19:42.00Torhal|workSeriously.
19:42.02Torhal|workShow me.
19:42.04Ackispet_id's are internal
19:42.21Ackisthis one _G.C_PetJournal.GetPetInfoByPetID(11305076)
19:42.24AckisI don't know that pet
19:42.28Ackisyet it returned info for me
19:42.46Torhal|workIn my tests, they had no ID
19:42.49Torhal|workAnyway, back to work.
19:49.58sidjihttp://www.wowace.com/paste/6421/
19:50.06sidjiyou need this?
19:50.18Ressyholy
19:50.21Ressyis that the entire db?
19:51.31Ressyand is it easy to dump another printout like that 5.1 pushes and releases new pets?
19:51.43Torhal|workYes
19:51.49Torhal|workHe's also using species IDs
19:53.16sidjithis dump is from beta
19:54.22Ressyohh
19:55.07Ackismutters nasty things about the pet journal and how torhal was right and I was wrong
19:55.37Ressylol
19:55.53Ressyonly question is how to get that into a form we can use easily with collectinator
19:56.00Torhal|workEasily
19:56.02Torhal|work:D
19:56.18Ackisbut Torhal|work is making me do the work so it's taking longer
19:56.50Torhal|workOf course. Every time I jump in and do something, that's less incentive for him to keep coding.
19:57.23AckisI don't mind, just head hurts from banging into the wall so much :P
19:59.27Ressylol
20:27.17Ackispet battles is done, working on achievements now /patselfonback
20:36.04Ressyshit
20:36.07Ressy"BREAKING: @CBSNews has learned the FBI has thwarted a plot to detonate a massive bomb outside the Federal Reserve in New York "
20:36.48RessyThe defendant in plot to attack the Federal Reserve has been identified as 21-year-old man originally from Bangladesh, now living in Queens
20:39.13Ressykid recruited someone else, who ratted to the FBI, who managed to get an agent 'recruited' as well.
20:54.16Ackiscrazy
20:55.48Ackislook at Magic Lamp and Enchanted Lantern acquire info in the pet journal... not consistent at all
21:01.22Torhal|workAckis: Dude, I actually have to strip trailing spaces from tooltip lines when scanning
21:01.26Torhal|workSo yeah, majorly-fucked.
21:01.46AckisTorhal|work: I'm having to do the same thing lol
