| 07:15.27 | Nivlix | yay, got the layout for the player unit frame the way i wanted it, i still need to work ont he bars but that will come, and all the updating for the player frame works as it should |
| 07:15.42 | Nivlix | now i gotta get the target frame working :P |
| 07:44.45 | Cairenn | :) |
| 07:51.25 | Nivlix|afk | night all, i gotta get some sleep |
| 08:09.49 | ZorbaBeta | nivlix, generally a good idea to just ask your question, people in here know the answers to most questions and I always read the scrollback |
| 08:10.13 | ZorbaBeta | plus that way if it's a one-line question and I'm just glancing at IRC I can simply answer it and leave again |
| 08:26.25 | seebs | YAY NEW PONIES |
| 08:26.33 | seebs | Staying up Saturday night is totally worth it. |
| 08:32.46 | seebs | I have come to terms with the fact that the desk my music stuff is on is Not Big Enough. |
| 08:39.55 | ZorbaBeta | I had desk space issues years ago. I went to a used furniture shop and picked up an old 1950's conference table. Works great. |
| 08:41.34 | seebs | Smallish room. |
| 08:41.36 | Torhal|work- | Nice |
| 08:41.41 | ZorbaBeta | Ah, yeah, makes it a bit tougher. |
| 08:41.53 | seebs | And the big problem is just that one of the music devices is a keyboard. |
| 08:42.11 | ZorbaBeta | I moved to a new place a few months ago and was worried that the computer room would be a bit too small for this behemoth but it turns out to fit perfectly. An extra half-foot and it wouldn't, though. |
| 08:42.19 | seebs | Which basically wants to be in front of everything and take up the entire horizontal space of a work area. |
| 08:42.53 | Torhal|work- | Urk to DST. |
| 08:43.17 | seebs | And of course, it has cables behind it and so on, and the other stuff wants to be reachable too. |
| 08:44.02 | ZorbaBeta | *nod* I can definitely see how that would be problematical |
| 08:44.20 | ZorbaBeta | if it helps, I've been using Google Sketchup as a tool to mock up room layouts. Works absolutely brilliantly. |
| 08:46.39 | seebs | Heh. I've used CAD software to do this before. |
| 08:47.10 | seebs | Problem is just that a thing that I might have looked at and handwaved as too expensive and not really My Thing was 50% off due to remodeling at Best Buy. So I have an extra thing with no space planned. |
| 08:47.33 | seebs | I can probably eventually solve this, but it may require serious thought about how to arrange the desk and the shelf above it. |
| 08:47.45 | seebs | Heh. |
| 08:48.12 | seebs | Someone on forums freaked out because a GM_someone came into chat and confirmed future features and GMs never do that in MMOs. |
| 08:48.22 | seebs | I have come up with the elevator pitch for Rift. |
| 08:48.40 | seebs | Imagine that a bunch of people who have developed and played MMOs were told they could make the game they wanted to and run it the way they want. |
| 08:49.20 | seebs | So instead of "corporate policy is that GMs can never discuss future plans", it's "man, wouldn't it be awesome if GMs logged in and chatted and answered questions?" |
| 09:05.46 | ZorbaBeta | I must say I rather like our customer support :D |

| 09:23.49 | seebs | I filed a ticket on something, don't remember what, and when the GM got to the "is there anything else?" I asked whether he could send me a huge sack of plat, if they had those lying around. |
| 09:24.18 | seebs | Response was roughly: "Oh, whaddya know, I just happen to have some. It's in the mail." "... By the way, goblins have been murdering mail carriers a lot lately." |
| 09:24.57 | seebs | It's not that I've never seen humor from a GM before, but usually I have to work a lot harder to get them to act in any way personal. |
| 09:25.08 | seebs | Whoops, time to feed the spouse. |
| 09:39.33 | starlon | that's right. fix that sammich |

| 16:50.50 | r1pt1de | zorba, i completely forgot what i wanted to ask about last night, so obviously it wasnt anything real important :P. The only thing I cant find an answer for yet is wether or not I can reanchor the player/target/player pet portraits to a custom unit frame or not. And wether or not there is a way to hook to the player/target/party(raid) member pop up menus on right click thats it :D |
| 16:50.55 | r1pt1de | anyways i will back this evening |

| 18:26.24 | Cel | Greetings |
| 18:26.31 | Nivlix | hey cel |
| 18:27.01 | Cel | i have a pretty simple and possible stupid question... |
| 18:27.48 | Cel | when defining the callback function of a button how exactly would i trigger an ability within that function? |
| 18:29.11 | Nivlix | not sure on that one Cel sorry |
| 18:30.26 | Cel | aww :-( |
| 18:42.30 | Nivlix | hmmm is there a way to register Event.Unit.Detail with a specific target such as player, target? |
| 18:42.48 | Nivlix | like the Inspect.Unit.Detail("player") |
| 18:58.39 | Kreiri | myButton.Event.LeftDown="cast awesome ability" |
| 19:00.11 | Kreiri | Nivlix: I don't think so. You'll have to check units table in event handler |
| 19:16.33 | Nivlix | I figured out how to do it Kreiri, thank you for the info though, now all i need to do for my player and target unit frames to be ready is to figure out how to do the right click and left click actions from the default unit frames |
| 19:23.49 | Cel | Kreiri, thank you, i ll try it out right away - that is so straight forward, i wouldnt have tried it in years... |
| 19:24.19 | Kreiri | your button and all its parents must be in secure mode, though |
| 19:24.47 | Cel | hmm, where can i read about the secure mode? |
| 19:25.55 | Kreiri | http://pastebin.com/Ra9pix1k |
| 19:26.20 | Kreiri | SetSecureMode |
| 19:28.43 | Kreiri | Nivlix: I'm not sure. Can we hooks events of UI.Native.*? |
| 19:29.38 | Cel | Hmm, i see - so we can define in which mode the addon currently operates ourselfs? |
| 19:31.55 | Nivlix | i dont think so yet kreiri, and if we can i dont know how to |
| 19:32.32 | Kreiri | something like UI.Native.PortraitTarget.Event.Whatever = eventHandler |
| 19:32.33 | Nivlix | i know we cant right click sell to vendors yet from my understanding, from a bag addon i mean |
| 19:32.43 | Nivlix | at least thats what i have been told |
| 19:45.45 | *** join/#riftuidev imush (kvirc@jwad-resnet-30780.d.port.ac.uk) |
| 20:57.34 | ZorbaBeta | nivlix, you currently can't move the native frames from within the addon system. I want that to show up later but it's going to be a headache |
| 20:58.16 | ZorbaBeta | kreiri, that's valid, though note that the set of events available for native frames is somewhat restricted |
| 20:58.27 | ZorbaBeta | I think it's Move, Size, Load, Layer, Strata |
| 20:58.49 | Kreiri | what happens if two addons hook the same .native.frame.event |
| 20:59.09 | ZorbaBeta | honestly, it works badly. What each addon has to do is store the old hook, then wrap it in a new hook that also calls the old hook. |
| 20:59.11 | Kreiri | whoever did it last wins? |
| 20:59.29 | ZorbaBeta | if they don't do that, then, yeah, whoever does it last wins. I'm thinking about a better way to handle this. |
| 21:00.59 | Kreiri | local oldhook = frame.event.x frame.event.x = function(...) oldhook(..) doStuff() end ? |
| 21:01.41 | ZorbaBeta | close - you need that to be if oldhook then oldhook(...) end |
| 21:01.58 | Kreiri | ah, right |
| 21:02.09 | ZorbaBeta | and technically that's not perfect either because then it will credit any CPU usage or errors to your addon, not to the old hook :/ it's all kind of a mess |
| 21:02.36 | Kreiri | I think Seebs's right and event tables would be better for frame events |
| 21:02.59 | ZorbaBeta | it's tough to say. for the *majority* of events, this setup is a lot cleaner |
| 21:03.09 | ZorbaBeta | there's just a rather nasty minority that really really does not work well |
| 21:03.24 | Kreiri | nasty native ui frames? :) |
| 21:03.49 | ZorbaBeta | yeah, mostly around native UI frames, although the problem isn't entirely new - if multiple addons wanted to monitor the window size, the best way is through hooking UIParent.Event.Size |
| 21:03.52 | ZorbaBeta | which has similar issues |
| 21:04.01 | ZorbaBeta | it's basically the problem that shows up when multiple addons care about one frame event |
| 21:04.21 | ZorbaBeta | another issue is that the way I'm handling macro hooks flat-out would not work with the standard event table approach |
| 21:04.55 | Kreiri | Command.Macro(macrostring)? |

| 23:05.56 | Nivlix | so zorba, could i set a right mouse down for say the palyer frame, and have it fire the appropriate ui.native.frame.event? |
| 23:24.35 | Nivlix | one other question, i see the mouse masking mode, can it be set to nil? |
