00:04.32JoshBorkeyou should totally make it playable through in-game mail

00:04.58Hexarobeelet me get it working in tells first ;)
00:05.02Hexarobeeim sooo close
00:05.16Hexarobeebeen trying to get this confirm to work for an hour
00:12.29TainAs loathe as I am to post too many insidious online videos that no one ever watches, this one was pretty entertaining to me.  Filmed in-game and very well done editing.
00:12.30Tainhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7170734078280837335&q=warcraft+hardware+store
00:18.41Hexarobeecan anyone tell me how to pass vars to a confirm box? ive tried using the one listed in the howto and i dont get it
00:19.00Hexarobeeit uses different variable names in the declaration and the call, so its confusing
00:19.13Hexarobeei thought it made sense, but i tried like it says and its killin me
00:19.27Kirovwhat are you trying to do?
00:19.40KirovPersonally I gave up and just have it reference a global.

05:24.14DoomGaze3I remember this one time: Me and my brother got really stoned.  Then we both spawned Engies and sat in the spawn exit repairing each other for like 5 minutes
05:24.30DoomGaze3People were so pissed.  They couldn't leave the sapwn!
05:24.34Shadowedhahaha

05:43.46ckknightwhat's faster/better: string.find(arg1, "^/") or string.sub(arg1, 1, 1) == "/" ?
05:44.31Kirovfind
05:44.38DoomGaze3speed isn't much of an issue unless you're calling trig functions hundreds of times a frame anyways

07:40.06ckknightwhat's the best way to tell how many 'h's are in a string? e.g. "happy holidays" would have 2
07:40.29Shadowedwhile string.find...
07:40.46Esamynnprobably string.gfind
07:41.37ckknighthrm, string.gsub("happy holidays", "h", "h") return "happy holidays", 2
07:41.51Esamynnnot gsub, gfind
07:41.53ckknightbut that probably takes up more cpu time than necessary
07:42.02ckknightgfind returns a function
07:42.30Esamynnoh, I see, gsub would probably be slightly more efficient than gfind
07:42.35ckknightmaybe...
07:42.40EsamynnI forgot gsub returns a count
07:43.02Esamynnnot really any other way to go about it though
07:44.28ShadowedEasiest way would just be to loop through gfind pretty much
07:44.41Shadowed"for id in string.gfind( text, "h" ) do"
07:45.09Esamynnnah, I like the gsub method, only 1 function call and no loop
07:45.30ckknightand it's a C function
07:45.51Shadoweder oops
07:49.32krkawhy not just loop through all characters and see which are h?

08:31.32DoomGaze3maybe I'm thinking about this too hard
08:32.45DoomGaze3but if I want to insert a number into a table, how does table.insert differentiate between, say: table.insert(myTable, 5) and table.insert(myTable, "five")?
08:34.06ShadowedIt doesn't, it depends what you're trying to do
08:34.41Shadowedif you just plan on showing it as text and not doing any checking beforehand then the only difference is you'll see "5" instead of "five"
08:35.35DoomGaze3k
08:36.38ShadowedBut you're not going to be able to check if it's a number thats higher then 0 for example if you insert "five" instead of 5
08:38.12DoomGaze3so given the following functions...: function foo(foo) return foo end function foo(foo1, foo2) return foo1 + foo2 end
08:38.52DoomGaze3if I call foo(1) I get 1 and if I call foo(1, 1) I get 2?
08:40.08Shadowedyeah

08:43.03krkawhoa whoa... lua doesnt do that
08:43.14krkayou can only have one function called foo
08:43.33Shadoweds/was/is/
08:43.53krkayou need function foo(foo1, foo2) if foo2 == nil then return foo1 else return foo1 + foo2 end end
08:44.19Shadowedit's not like java basically
08:44.38DoomGaze3so how do you define a function that takes optional values?
08:44.50Shadowedyou do what krka said
08:45.06DoomGaze3aaaaaah
08:45.11DoomGaze3gotcha
08:47.19krkaimo, examples should be simple, but correct
08:47.27krkaincorrect examples always confuse more than they help
08:47.56Shadowedwhat he said!
08:49.20DoomGaze3all well and good, but I still don't understand this table.insert function. function definition is like this: table.insert(table, [pos,] value)
08:50.34Shadowedyou could switch it somewhat easly
08:50.46Shadowedif the third argument was nil then use the second argument as value

12:01.19zespriwhy do I have that terrible fps?
12:03.02Corrodiasbecause frames per second is a plural phrase, so your use of poor grammar has doomed you.
12:04.36zesprimy poor use fo grammar stems from the fact that I'm not a native speaker of english langauge

12:15.21krkawhat about memory and harddrive speed?
12:17.53zespriI have intel P4 3GHz, 1GB memory, video is nvidia 6600GT with 128 memory
12:18.22zesprihardrive is nothing special, I don;t beleive that there are extra slow harddrives out there
12:19.11zespribasically my memory total ussage when I run WoW is under 1GB, so there shoudl be no swapping and such. and fps is bad even when I stend still

19:53.09ckknightdoes loadstring/string.dump work properly in WoW?
19:53.36KirkburnPeople say the oddest things, complaining that "Outland is a continent, not a world!", as if outland isn't the remains of a planet or anything ...
19:54.26RallionOutland is a large section of a terrain file with corresponding server code to populate with objects.
19:54.58Kirkburnheh
19:55.13cladhairei dont think so ckknight
19:55.22ckknightaw
19:55.28KirkburnI changed it so it now says both continent and world, since both work :)
19:55.40Kirkburn(er, I'm talking abotu the wiki, natch)
19:55.46Rallionheh
19:56.06RallionIt's really not worth any kind of argument, it really is both.
19:56.28Rallionit just depends on the context.
19:57.07Rallionheh, don't Azeroth and Kalimdor have different 'world servers'?
19:57.41cladhaireckknight: /dump loadstring(string.dump(function() return math.random(100) end))() doesn't work, it can't load the string in.
19:58.05cladhairebut it works fine with plaintext func defs.
19:58.31ckknightyea, I get an error saying invalid control char near near `char(27)'
19:59.09ckknightwell, I guess that means I can't serialize/deserialize functions
19:59.49KirkburnRallion, hehe, they do =) Complicated further by the fact you just called one of the continents Azeroth
20:00.39Cairenndone
20:00.43Merythats the official "file path to the continent map" name of it :P
20:01.09KirkburnAzeroth is either the world, or the area around Stormwind :) Before the other areas of the world were introduced, it would have been fair to describe the Eastern Kingdoms as 'Azeroth' as well, since that was the world - but it's no longer used by Blizz
20:01.09cladhaireKirkburn: You can't be sure there ARE continents on Draenor.  It could be one single land mass.
20:01.40Kirkburncladhaire, we know it's broken up with 'island' chunks though
20:01.40cladhaireok.. so the quartermaster who gives the BWL attunement item isn't respawning.
20:01.52cladhaireKirkburn: Aye.. its all semantics anyway =)
20:01.57Kirkburnheh, yeah
20:02.10Meryreport to a gm, they usually fix it.
20:02.10KirkburnGood poitn though, the map of Draenor has never shown the entire planet
20:02.34ckknightyea, I always thought of it Pangaea-style, though
20:02.37KirkburnIt has only ever shown one side of one of the continents (good foresight by Blizz there, I reckon)
20:03.22KirkburnI've never thought of the idea that Draenor could have been more than that area
20:03.45cladhaireDraenor is a "World"
20:03.52cladhairei dont think its been stated as a planet.
20:04.01KirkburnNow your being picky
20:04.01cladhairejust keep that in mind.. given that this is a magical world and everything =)
20:04.06cladhairehaha
20:04.06cladhairealways
20:04.07Kirkburn*you're
20:04.14MikkOf course not. These backward nubs don't know what planets are =)
20:04.34KirkburnBy the way, there's a massive moon next to Outland, i've noticed
20:04.43cladhaireThe BWL attunement guy is still the quartermaster by the orb.. right?
20:04.51KirkburnHe's been moved
20:04.59cladhaireto where?
20:05.10KirkburnA different place in the corridor, afaik
20:05.10Shadowedfirst left when going to the orb
20:05.20Shadowedhe's right down the ramp
20:05.20Kirkburn=)
20:05.31cladhaireah
20:05.34cladhairenot soloable anymore?
20:05.40Shadoweddepends on your class
20:05.47KirkburnNot as easy as before, I think
20:05.49cladhairewell i can solo HIM
20:05.54cladhairebut he has 3 right next to him
20:06.00Shadowedwhich is why it depends on your class :p
20:06.14ShadowedIf theres a bunch of people that are waiting to go to BWL you maybe able to kite the mobs to them and they help kill
20:06.31KirkburnYou're attuning BWL before you've been in MC? :O
20:06.52Shadowedthat wouldn't be really suprising
20:06.58KirkburnI get the feeling you're passing the time ...
20:07.15KirkburnWell, true - but it was only yesterday clad got attuned to MC
20:07.33Shadoweda guilds more likely to do BWL over MC now and days
20:07.34KirkburnOr this morning. Or something
20:07.34cladhairei'm waiting for my ubrs run to form
20:07.39cladhaireso i can work on ubrs run #2 of the ony key
20:07.40Shadoweddepending on the guild of course
20:07.46cladhaireit was last night
20:07.48cladhairesolo =)
20:07.53Kirkburn:)
20:07.56Shadowedbut most are going to be doing BWL/AQ40 and possibly nax over MC :p
20:07.59cladhairethanks to your help
20:08.07cladhairebut guilds cannot skip to BWL without doing MC.
20:08.12cladhairethat's just entirely impossible.
20:08.19KirkburnSo, yeah - think we'll be able to visit this moon of Outland's one day?
20:08.30ShadowedI never said that guilds could skip MC.
20:08.34cladhairedepends on if the damn blood elves keep sabotaging our dimensional ships
20:08.39KirkburnOr maybe even one of Azeroth's two moons...
20:08.41cladhaireShadowed: I know, I jwas just commenting.
20:09.11KirkburnI wonder how much of 'the universe', Blizz have mapped out
20:09.13ShadowedYou could probably pull off BWL without going into MC if people put more work into it and farmed blue/epics
20:09.25ShadowedVael would be hard though
20:09.26cladhaireyou wouldn't have the DPS for vael
20:09.32cladhaireeven with full consumables.
20:09.39cladhaireits tuned too tightly
20:09.54ShadowedThere are guilds thaat are able to make progress through dungeons on the new servers fairly quickly.
20:10.05ShadowedAnd some have done it with around a month of farming MC?

20:20.17JoshBorkewhy couldn't a guild skip MC by doing ZG?
20:20.59JoshBorkeand now AQ20, there's more than enough gear to make BWL that much easier
20:21.31JoshBorkedon't see why someone couldn't clear ZG/AQ20/Ony for 2 weeks and then start on BWL
20:24.16cladhairebecause you get so much more loot in MC than you do anywhere else.
20:24.32cladhaireyou gear a few people up in AQ20 or ZG.. you gear lots of people up in MC
20:27.19JoshBorkebut you can run ZG/AQ20 twice as often
20:27.27JoshBorkeeffectively 4 runs for each week of MC
20:28.04Cidehowever
20:28.10Cidewhat are you going to do after ZG/AQ20?
20:28.19CideBWL? you still need 40 people to do that, so why not do MC in the first place?
20:28.44Cideand if you pick up 20 'new' people after gearing up the guild in ZG/AQ20, then they'll be undergeared
20:29.00JoshBorkei'm assuming you already have 40 and split the gulid in 2 groups of 20
20:29.17JoshBorkewhat timer is ony on?
20:29.20Cideyou'll be screwed in BWL then

20:30.20cladhairebut guilds who are breaking into BWL from AQ/ZG will =)
20:30.44cladhaireyes its possible.. it just don't seem worthwhile to me
20:31.08JoshBorkequick question: i have a 1x1 texture i want to move up and down in a frame.  i'm assuming i have to use SetPoint()?
20:31.16JoshBorkei agree, totalyl not worth it :-D
20:31.23cladhairewtf
20:31.33Cide1x1 texture will probably not even be visible
20:31.52Cide2x2 would probably be better.. in any case, SetPoint's the way to go
20:32.00krkai doubt you have a 1x1 texture. that's impossible!
20:32.10JoshBorkeyes, you're right
20:32.15Cide2^0? ;)
20:32.15cladhairethese three idiots (two mages, rogue) think we can do the four dragons for ony key with two mages a  rogue and a druid.
20:32.19JoshBorkei'm just using SetHeight(1) and SetWidth(1)
20:32.38krkaodd numbers aren't powers of two! pmg noobs
20:32.57Cideis 2^0 not considered a power of two?
20:33.04Cidekind of a trick question, but really, is it?
20:33.21cladhaire=
20:33.22cladhaire=)
20:33.26JoshBorkeanyway, how can i get the SetPoint of another texture?
20:34.18krkathe question is if 0.5 is a power of two?
20:34.31krkaor better yet... is 0 a power of two?
20:34.37krka2^-\infty
20:34.38Mikkno
20:35.29JoshBorkeno what?
20:36.12MikkJoshBorke: texture:GetPoint(n) no worky?
20:36.40JoshBorkeah, i didn't know about GetPoint :-)
20:37.16MikkWhy do you need the point though?
20:37.27MikkJust SetPoint with the other texture as relative obj?
20:38.20JoshBorkei'm creating a line on a graph and to shift the line i planned on using SetPoint to set the point of the current texture to that of the next texture and then set the last texture to whatever the current value is
20:39.47krkaooh... drawing a graph? are you using iriels line rotating stuff?
20:39.55krkashould be perfect for graphs
20:40.01JoshBorkenot a pie graph
