00:13.31Mikordhello folks
00:13.39Cairennhi Mikord
00:16.45zenziofor crying out loud... need a Burning Essence from the dark coffer, so I do a run with some guildies. The Dark Keeper is in the bar; tough pull, and in the process we wipe a few times... and when we finally get back, what's in the coffer?

01:00.59esp|Synive been wondering
01:01.32esp|Synwould it be possible to intercept whispers and make them show in a window like a msn message window?
01:01.44Mikordshouldn't be a problem esp
01:01.59esp|Synhrm ill give it a go then
01:02.05esp|Synsince i cant find anything like that
01:02.08Mikordyou can supress whispers

05:54.30ShadowedThe only reason they added BATTLEGROUND was because they would basically kill *any* ability to do communication inside battlegrounds including mods like CTRA.

08:31.08ShadowedDoubt you're still here Kirov, but. You can't use custom channels to communicate across battlegrounds, can only do that using the zone channels and /bg. So basically any sort of mod that relied on RAID, PARTY or channels for communication would break inside a battleground.
08:31.24Shadowed*RAID or PARTY addon messages
08:32.38Kirovamazingly, still here
08:32.41Shadowedhehe
08:33.07Shadowedbut yeah, thats pretty much any comm mod for raids/parties wouldn't work inside a battleground :p
08:34.18Kirovodd
08:35.02ShadowedTheres one easy reason why they didn't make RAID/PARTY work in battlegrounds though
08:36.29ShadowedNot sure the best way to explain it but. If you are in lets say a guild raid and you queue for a battleground and get in, you're in two raids at once. One is the forced raid of the battleground and another is the original guild raid you were in before you entered the battlefield instance. Using any raid related functions returns info for the battleground's forced group, but if you use /party or /raid you can talk to your guild raid and the people in th
08:37.00Shadowednot sure if that makes sense, pretty bad at explaining stuff :p

08:50.24ThraeI wonder how hard it would be for slouken to implement something like GetAPIFunction( functioname ), which always returns the reference to the original Blizzard function, even if it's been hooked.

08:59.26MikkYou can implement it yourself
08:59.46Mikk!!!!!AddonName =)
08:59.59ThraeHaha. We know that doesn't always work ;)
09:00.09MikkNo =(
09:00.20Kirov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RealFunctions
09:00.21Kirovshould work
09:00.25Kirov;)
09:00.50MikkActually
09:00.54MikkThey could add it to framexml
09:01.08MikkJust have the first file loop the global env and look for functions and put them in an array
09:01.09MikkDOne
09:01.24MikkThen again that wastes resources
09:01.28ThraeWhat happens to the old reference in a hooked function? If it's stored in a local, is it accessible by another file?
09:01.30MikkGetAPIFunction() is prolly best =)
09:01.39MikkNope
09:02.49ThraeI just realized that GetAPIFunction() wouldn't work for me either. I want to insert my addon's hook before any other addon, without making people edit another addon's OptionalDeps or adding LoadWith to my addon.
09:02.56MikkJust require everyone to use OLTRA to do their hooks :-)

09:04.15Kirovs/can't/can/
09:04.38MikkProposed as the alternate name of Ace2 =P
09:05.22ThraeAceHook is also nice, but when you're dealing with merciless yet popular tooltip mods like MobInfo-2 (which hooks OnShow for some reason) and MonkeyQuest (weird coding), it can get messy.
09:09.15ThraeOoo, could functions be made into metadata tables which record hooks?
09:10.21MikkPossibly, but it introduces ugliness
09:10.39MikkLike doing type(functionName) not returning "function"
09:10.54MikkHm no it won't work
09:11.21MikkYou can't react to the table reference changing, only stuff inside it
09:11.31MikkYou COULD stick a metatable in _G but that's just plain evil
09:11.33MikkAnd likely slow as hell
09:12.37MikkJust fix the ugly addons?
09:13.03ThraeThere can always be more and more ugly addons, though.
09:13.05MikkBetter for everyone involved
09:13.30MikkYeah but I don't see why the well-behaved ones need to be worked on lots and lots and lots to compensate for the ones that suck
09:14.45ThraeI can hack my own code easily, with something like MobInfo-2 I'd be much inclined to rewrite the damn thing.
09:15.11Mikkhehe
09:15.17KirovMobInfo-2 always struck me as being particularly cobbled together
09:15.55ThraeActually I've been tossing around the idea of writing my own MobInfo-2 mod to go along with TinyTip, except mine would work with a compressed database and store mob positions (allowing me to get rid of MetaMap's WoWKB)
09:16.26Mikkcompressed? o.O
09:16.28Kirovhmm
09:16.43KirovI have an LZW lib for wow
09:17.06MikkThat's going to backfire mercilessly
09:17.11MikkAt least with the current SV bugs
09:17.14ThraeYeah, just simple string compression, maybe bitlib later on. The MobInfo-2 DB right now is just as bad as WoWKB, totally uncompressed.
09:17.37KirovMikk - worked pretty well in 1.10
09:17.39Kirovbut yeah
09:17.46KirovNot sure I want to subject 1.11.2 to it
09:17.47Mikk1.11 is teh sux for big SV content
09:17.48ThraeWhat do you mean? Plenty of mods have implemented decent compression algorithmns, like KC_Items.
09:18.11KirovKC_Items doesn't really compress anything, does it?
09:18.27MikkDepends on what you compress. Individual strings... sure. But if you do the thing that's going to get the most gain - rewrite everything to a single string representation and then compress that - it'll hurt.
09:18.38ThraeYes, it uses a highly compressed DB, as it also stores item stats along with generated links.
09:19.05KirovThrae - that's not really along the same lines though.
09:19.22MikkThen again, such a string wouldn't be scannable at all
09:19.29KirovThat can be done with gsubs, and maybe a little number -> ascii conversion
09:19.43Kirover, number -> char conversion
09:20.38ThraeKirov: You should take a look at KC_Item's SVDB sometime, it's very not human readable. Kaelten would better explain how his DB works, I'm probably misrepresenting it.
09:21.11KirovThrae - You should see my internal LLe db
09:21.15ThraeWoo 5am nets me "very not"
09:21.24KirovCompresses all item stats down to a 26 character line
09:21.49Kirovincluding sell price, armor, etc
09:22.12ThraeHow's the load time?
09:22.49KirovFor my internal version?  A lot better than normal LootLink
09:22.57KirovThe problem comes in the LZW lib
09:23.30KirovBloats pretty fast
09:23.42KirovAnd full-string searches end up really slow.
09:25.03Mikkcreate a hash for searching
09:25.49ThraeMy ideas for compression sound silly compared to yours.
09:26.50KirovBasically strings end up being about 3/4ths to half the size of the original
09:26.56ThraeI wish smart people would come together and make a compression lib focused on optimizing very large WoW SV databases.
09:27.15KirovBut since I hold on to the compressed data, and then cache the uncompressed data after I've searched it, it gets ugly
09:27.31MikkUses lots of ram you mean?
09:27.35KirovYeah
09:28.13KirovNot to mention it's a bit hacky as it's still appending off of the original LootLink database format
09:28.28ThraeThat would be the opposite of what I'm trying to do, reduce memory usage.
09:28.33KirovRight
09:28.47MikkAssume you work off of three-letter pairs
09:28.51KirovI was trying to reduce load times and item searches / sorting
09:28.51Mikkerr... tuples
09:29.14Kirovfor the LZW stuff?
09:29.20MikkAnd create a hash for in which items those tuples exist
09:29.47KirovI didn't actually write teh LZW lib, a friend of mine wrote it and I ported it to lua
09:30.04MikkI assume your table is 1 entry per item, yes?
09:30.19KirovYou've never looked at LootLink stuff.  =)
09:30.37MikkI've looked at the regular lootlink db
09:30.47KirovMy method would of eventually cram it all down to a single string, yes
09:30.53Kirovper entry
09:30.59MikkPrecisely
09:31.06Kirovsimilar to ItemSync
09:31.23KirovBut longer strings since I was still keeping the full tooltip text
09:31.39Kirovjust compressed
09:32.10Mikkdamnit i suck at large scale search algorithms
09:32.35MikkShort version: I'm thinking there has to be some way for you to make a "lookup table" for a given search phrase
09:32.58MikkWhich means you can reduce the number of lines that you need to unpack by lots
09:33.03KirovI started looking at keeping all the unique text in a database, but that ended up huge, so I started looking at alternate methods of seaching for unique text and querying Blizzard's own database from within WoW using SetHyperlink() hacks
09:33.15*** join/#wowi-lounge wereHamster (n=tomc@gw.ptr-62-65-141-13.customer.ch.netstream.com)
09:33.36KirovWhich ended up with me creating the huge ItemString page on wow wiki
09:33.57Kirovthat's all generated from with-in wow, not reading their db files
09:35.13MikkSo you re-generate that table on load or something?
09:36.04KirovI do for the mod I wrote to spit out all the data, but eventually, no
09:36.30KirovWhen I need to look it up, I'd just reparse it and cache it
09:37.10KirovI can just apply the enchant and secondary item bonuses to a hearthstone and parse the resulting tooltip to find out what each is.
09:37.30KirovFor the saved data, I then only need to save the remaining unique information of the base item.
09:37.57ThraeUgh. I need a rest from coding for a little while.
09:38.13MikkRL is -------> that way

12:15.28MikkArcHUD puts circular hp/mana/etc bars in the center of the screen
12:15.57MikkI'm not aware of any kind of mod that can put stuff around targets, or next to, or anything. The UI can't tell where mobs are on-screen.

13:43.07Kaeltengood morning everyone
13:43.22Cairennmorning yes.  good we're unsure of
13:43.23Corrodiasconsidering what, 6 million people play, now, 90% of them use UI mods, and 1% of those bother to keep a favorites list...
13:44.24Mikkesp|Syn: Umm. fubar and dab isn't exactly in the same category of addons?
13:44.29Corrodias(actually, no, it's probably much, much lower than 1%, but i'm just trying to illustrate how you need some context of how many favorite lists the "popular" mods are on)
13:44.32Cairennnot even close
13:45.11Cairennand my point is that the only person that can decide whether a mod is "any good" or not is the person asking the question :p
13:45.19KaeltenNot to mention the number of people that can end up using a mod via different compliations that never even go to the addons page

19:10.17esp|Synits not pirated because you havnt done anything other than break the tos
19:10.25esp|Synwhich people do all the time

19:10.59MikkI just use winrar myself and tell it to produce zips =)
19:11.06esp|Synpeople seem to think i owe them something by making these mods :/
19:11.08Mikkthe winzip UI has always and will always suck >.<
19:11.08zinorwhat are you people talking about?
19:11.19Mikkzinor: zip vs rar for addon archies

19:12.45Mikkthat was directed at me saying that there's people out there that don't want to use pirated winrar copies, and don't want to pay for another archiver.
19:12.48zinorits a more widely used standard
19:12.52zinorand incorporated into windows xp
19:12.58zinoryou dont have to pay for winrar
19:12.59esp|Synwell i like .rar
19:13.01zinorits shareware

19:13.13esp|Syn40
19:13.15Mikkafter that you're expected to pay
19:13.16Mikkok 40
19:13.18zinoryou can use it as long as you want, they just want you to buy at the end of eval period
19:13.18esp|Syn:P
19:13.27zinorno you're not expected, thats why it has a nag screen :)
19:13.34ShadowedI prefer rar too, but I'm not going to tell people to install software just to use a mod :p
19:13.34zinorotherwise it would just shut you out at 30 days
19:13.37zinorlike "trials" normally do
19:13.46Mikktry that argument in a trial =P
19:14.04esp|Synagain.. i produced these mods for myself and people who have requested them
19:14.26esp|Syni release them because people might want them. not because i want them to use them :/
19:14.48Mikkaye, same. but i also try to actually make them easy to use for said people :P
19:15.01ShadowedAnyway, it's not like you're zipping a 50MB file that you want to be able to reduce as much as you can. The size reduction for a mod isn't a huge deal since you're only talking a 180-300 KB download.
19:15.13Mikktry 30
19:15.22Mikkvs loading its web page which is 100+ =)
19:15.24ShadowedI just took the size of SSPVP which is fairly big :p
19:15.36esp|Synaye but making a .rar is much faster for me
19:15.38esp|Synas its one click
19:15.48esp|Synforce of habit
19:15.48Shadowedcan set it to one click in winrar too!
19:15.59esp|Synand im not guna re package it as .zip
19:16.07Cairennwe ask that authors use zip as that's the "standard" that most people have
19:16.12esp|Synand re-upload just because 2 of the 1000 people complained
19:16.55ShadowedYou can have 1000 happy people, and 5 people who hate you because you decide to do something. Those 5 people will speak out more then those 1000 will
19:16.56Cairenn*personally*, I don't really care
19:16.58Mikkesp|Syn: you DO know that you can set rar to produce zips by default, right?
19:17.06esp|Synwhy would i want too?
19:17.11Mikkhaha
19:17.20esp|Synim hardly guna change how i do things

19:53.10wereHamsterdid anyone here already kill Patchwerk?
19:55.10wereHamsterI just did a short video of the last 3-4% - http://dbservice.com/ftpdir/tom/zerg.mp4 just in case you'd like to see..
19:56.20JoshBorkewas it fun?
19:56.20CideI've killed him
19:56.36Cideand no, he's a bitch
19:57.18JoshBorkelol
19:57.40Cidefor horde, anyway
19:57.48JoshBorkeyou'll get BoK in BC :-D
19:58.14zenzelezzso in BC the main difference between horde and alliance will be Fear Ward?
19:58.31JoshBorkei believe it will be racials
19:58.40Mikkfear ward is a racial
19:58.41zenzelezzFear Ward is racial
19:58.50Mikkand a damn powerful one
19:59.09JoshBorkeyes, i agree :-)
19:59.10zenzelezz10-minute duration buff that "absorbs" one fear
19:59.14Thrae|AwayFear Ward....is a racial!
19:59.34Mikkzenzelezz: hum? it's kinda recastable
20:00.02zenzelezzyes, but you have to recast it to absorb more than one, don't you? Or can multiple priests stack it on you?
20:00.12Mikkno, recast after fear
20:00.29zenzelezzthought so
20:00.39JoshBorkeyou can recast it every 30s
20:00.46Mikkwhich is enough for most raid bosses
20:00.58Mikkhave two dorf priests and you can forget about the tank ever getting feared
20:01.06JoshBorkepretty much, yep
20:01.17zenzelezzthat's what we do
20:01.17Mikkor in BC... tremor totem + 1 dorf priest >.<
20:01.45zenzelezzI'm not main tanking much yet, so I don't get Fear Ward that often :-|
20:03.24Mikkof course, the problem with dwarf priests is the first rule of dwarf priests: The dwarf priest dies.
20:04.05zenzelezzother than when things go very bad, that doesn't happen much to us... mostly just the odd rogue or DPS warrior who can't control his own aggro
20:04.26Rallionhey...my NE priest is goot, too...he gets...uh...starshards...(*cry*)
20:04.47zenzelezzI'm Human, my racials come in darn handy as a tank

20:05.02JoshBorkelol
20:05.02Rallionlol
20:05.21RallionI actually really like Perception
20:05.29zenzelezzthat one can actually be useful
20:05.43zenzelezzI'd still trade it for the stun thingie orcs have though
20:05.47Rallionbut that's because my only human is a rogue, and it can be fun as hell to use it in 1v1 Rogue-on-rogue PvP battles.

20:07.33Rallionthat's the only racial I ever use, though
20:07.44esp|SynDont suppose anyone knows of a mod that allows me to "bend" action bars?
20:07.59RallionWell, there's DAB with floaters
20:08.12Rallionbut I don't know of any that'll do it with an actual BAR
20:11.24esp|Synhrm
20:11.31esp|Synfloaters?
20:12.34Rallionyeah, single buttons that aren't a part of any bar
20:12.39esp|Synahh
20:12.44Rallionthey don't anchor to each other or anything though
20:12.52esp|Synwell i really want them on one bar
20:13.06esp|Synbut i suppose if i find nothing i can do it that way
20:13.24RallionFlexbar can do that, actually, but I don't even know if that's still in development
20:14.59esp|Synill take a look :)
20:15.05esp|Synoh and twister is on itv 1
20:15.31JoshBorkei use flexbar
20:15.33JoshBorkeerm, visor
20:15.36JoshBorkeused to use flexbar
20:15.58Rallionthey changed it to Visor? I thought Visor was the name of something else, did they combine, or what?
20:16.19JoshBorkeno, i just slipped and said flexbar when i really meant visor :D
20:16.20ThraeVisor is an Ace addon, made by a different person, and works differently.
20:16.55JoshBorkeflexbar is more of a complete package than visor.  i could never get used to the way visor handled events ,so i just made my own mod that showed/hid buttons whenever i wanted =D
20:17.13ThraeIt's essentially Flexbar, but without bugs and a sensible GUI. The separate addon, VisorGUI, is decent but can't compare to Flexbar's GUI ;)
20:17.27JoshBorkei have more a problem with the events :-D
20:17.49ThraeYeah, its scripting system is the reason I just hardcoded events into EasyVisor.
20:20.36Rallionlol last time I used these addons, they had no GUI
20:20.48Rallionand now I'm just too happy with Discord
20:21.01Rallionbecause I have 1.5gb of RAM and I can take it.
20:21.06JoshBorkepower infusion is fun

20:44.05ThraeHehe.
20:44.51MikkIRC is so much better than talking. You actually get those extra few seconds to think up the witty line you never had time to actually _say_ =)
20:45.34ThraeHmmm, UnitPopup.lua uses "SetRaidTargetIcon", I wonder where that's declared...sounds like API?
20:45.46Mikkit is
20:45.49Rallionwait, no, I AM taking the boots! MATH FTW
20:46.13ThraeIt's not on wowwiki
20:46.25Mikkerm oops
20:46.30MikkSetRaidTarget() is the API one
20:46.30Merywell i meant the lines 57 to 64
20:46.44Meryits texture path + texcoors
20:46.48Meryin a table
20:46.51MikkSetRaidTargetIcon() is a 5 line framexml function iirc
20:46.52ThraeAhhh now I see it
20:47.02MikkIt just toggles the icon off if the mob already has that exact same icon
20:47.13Mikkotherwise it does what setraidtarget does
20:49.41RallionYeah, there's lots of reasons to complain when you have a dual monitor setup.
20:49.56ThraeI was just wondering if I could do string.format("RaidTargetIconPath%d", GetRaidTargetIndex(unitId) ), I'll try it out and see.
20:50.16Rallionthat was a stupid thing to say since I have a video card with two outputs and a second monitor sitting in the closet.
20:50.30Merywell the raidtarget icons are all in one texture
20:52.26ThraeAre there already proper textures defined for each index?
20:54.42Meryshould be able to texture:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-RaidTargetingIcons"); local temp = UnitPopupButtons["RAID_TARGET_"..GetRaidTargetIndex(unitId)]; texture:SetTexCoord(temp.tCoordLeft, temp.tCoordRight, temp.tCoordTop, temp.tCoordBottom);
20:55.22ThraeHmm right, I could do it that way.
20:55.46Merywell or create 8 single textures as i don't think blizzard has them single :)

21:07.50Rallionooh, you CAN anchor them to each other

22:11.03MikkKirov: http://www.wowwiki.com/API_SetTexCoordModifiesRect
22:11.17MikkEr
22:11.22IrielWrong function 8-)
22:11.23Rallionargh, one of my addons occasionally does something that only allows one standard pane to be open instead of two, but I can't repeat it at will and I'm not willing to pore through the code of 130-ish addons
22:11.38ShadowedTime to start disabling one addon at a time :p
22:11.55Irielor is that NOT the wrong function,a nd you're trying to document it?
22:12.08KirovMikk - found it
22:12.11ThraeKirov scared me there for a second, I just released a huge update that used SetTexCoord, and he said "SetTexCoords" ;)
22:12.14Kirovwow, lots of write up
22:12.14ShadowedCairenn: I was able to login, just logged in, wait 30 seconds and refreshed.
22:12.15Rallionagain, shadowed, useless because it only happens once in a while
22:12.34Rallionsame with some addon preventing the esc menu from opening.
22:12.39ShadowedAs in any panel can cause it to happen, or a specific one?
22:12.55MikkIriel: http://www.wowwiki.com/API_Texture_SetTexCoordModifiesRect was the  one I wrote up. I just had a slight brainfart =)
22:12.57RallionI have NO IDEA what causes it to happen
22:13.04ThraeLexan used to have a bug where it stopped ESC from opening your menu.
22:13.27KirovMikk - did you try the 8 param SetTexCoord?
22:13.33MikkYes
22:13.47MikkIt works... erhm.. sort of the same
22:14.12MikkExcept if you give non-rectangular corners, it will of course still stretch
22:14.17Kirovheh
22:14.18IrielHm, if 'sort of the same' means what I think it means, it will be interesting.

22:18.27ShadowedNothing like disarming HWL warriors or ashkandi warriors!
22:18.32RallionThat's exactly why I'm holding on to Claw of Celebras on my Rogue, it's a little worse than Lifeforce Dirk but it'll let me keep my unarmed high as I inch towards 60
22:18.32zenzelezz"Disarm me, huh? *Shield Slam*"
22:18.45Shadowed"Your shield slam crits, some rogue for 20 damage!"
22:18.52Rallionbut lol
22:18.56Rallionthat's fun.
22:18.57zenzelezzthat's shield bash
22:19.05ShadowedI know, making fun of shield slam :p
22:19.08zenzelezzmy shield slam still crits for about 6-700 on many mobs
22:19.49Kirov6 to 700, that's quite the range.  heh
22:20.21Rallionwow, they REALLY made the morrowgrain quest easier
22:20.25zenzelezzI'm just too lazy to type two extra zeroes; and "6-700" matches how I say it in spoken Norwegian
22:20.42Rallionthat's how most people would say it in english too
22:20.42zenzelezzsix-seven hundred
22:21.02Kirov"six seven hundred" or "six to seven hundred"
22:21.02Rallionor six- to seven-hundred
22:21.06Rallionyeah
22:21.16Kirovjust givin' you shit
22:21.26zenzelezzI know, and I'm parrying =D
22:22.02zenzelezzor maybe blocking is more appropriate
22:22.08zenzelezzparrying is all or nothing
22:22.36Shadoweddodge
22:23.48zenzelezznot really, that's also all or nothing
22:24.51esp|Synwow. eating muffins with sweet sensative teeth isnt much fun :(

22:38.42zenzelezzmakes it "languages that use a prefix character for variables" and I agree
22:39.11KirovI've got a prefix character they could use for variables
22:39.14Kirov(
22:39.21Kirovand end it with a )
22:39.31zenzelezzbool (arf) = true;
22:39.40KirovI was thinking more foo( bar )
22:39.59zenzelezzwould look too much like a function
22:40.08Kirov!
22:40.10Kirov@#%!
22:40.23Kirovthat's the point.  >.<
22:41.15IrielI think a language where all variables are stored in chests buried on an island wouldbe excellent, variable names are any valid set of instructions to find the chest
22:41.35IrielSo you could have (start at the dead tree, take three paces north, turn right, and 2 more paces, then dig) = 7
22:42.08zenzelezzI thought that was what pointer arithmetic was
22:44.16RallionIt makes me sad that I laughed at that, zenzelezz.
22:46.19IrielI guess that's true, just with pointers in 2d space, and landmarks and a compass.
22:46.34JoshBorkeno hills?
22:46.51Irielthere are hills, but I was figuring that you'd only be able to busy one chest under a given spot
22:47.03Irielso it's really the 2d surface mapped onto an elevation model
22:47.09Irielit's still essentially 2d

22:48.13JoshBorkeindeed
22:51.27Kirovwouldn't a singe spot with multiple chests be called an array?
22:51.47KirovThe chests would all just be maps to another chest
22:52.00JoshBorkeno, the chest holds the maps
22:52.01KirovBut still chests
22:52.08Kirovwell, right
22:52.19JoshBorkeso there'd only be one chest

23:39.05KirovCide - how do you deal with CTRA version broadcasts in 1.12?  Just send the request when you join a raid imediately?
23:39.24Cideum, not sure!
23:39.39Cidedidn't think about that actually, but that's probably what I'll do
23:39.42Kirovhehe
23:40.02KirovRight now you've got the wait 10 seconds, then wait every 5 if you're still not in the ctra channel
23:40.25KirovI'm assuming for 1.12 the data channels are joined as soon as you join the raid, just like the normal /raid channels
23:41.01Cideyeah, hopefully
23:41.21Cideonly problem I'm seeing is the distinction between RAID and BATTLEGROUND
23:42.16KirovIsn't there an "ENTER_BATTLEGROUNDS" type event?
23:42.30Cidenot sure
23:45.28JoshBorkei hate lvl'ing =(
