00:01.33abugI can't remember, does a frame need to be visible to receive events?
00:01.46abugI know for OnUpdates it does
00:02.13abugbut for events it doesn't right?
00:08.17JoshBorkeabug: it can be hidden to receive events

01:05.45WobinIf I SetAllPoints a frame to another frame, then move the 'other' frame, the first frame won't move, unless I reparent them together, yes?
01:06.41eternally777Were they parented originally?
01:06.48Wobinno
01:07.25WobinI'm using the first as a 'reference' frame to snap back to if the second frame (upon moving) doesn't meet certain criteron
01:07.53eternally777I have no idea.  Please let me know what happens though :)

03:59.26Tem*eyeroll*
03:59.27abugI think he's calculating pi
03:59.28AnduinLotharbut actually it's a bank management addon
03:59.33Temk
03:59.41abugclose
04:00.02AnduinLotharso i have sets that cna either be complete in the bank or complete in the bags or partial both places or complete both places or not complete anywhere..
04:00.34AnduinLotharand i have two variables for each side, meanign 4 variables to express all those states
04:00.49Wobincomplete/incomplete
04:00.50AnduinLotharand they have two names
04:01.14Wobinincomplete implies that there is a possible way to complete it
04:01.19AnduinLotharbut one variable signifies complete/incomplete and the other signifies whether it's complete in the other place
04:01.27WobinSplit
04:01.34WobinCondensed
04:02.02WobinUnavailable
04:02.05AnduinLotharcomplete works for one.. maybe 'available' for tha other?

04:07.56Wobintis apparatnly =)

04:08.03KirovThat's what took the extra day
04:08.04Kirovheh
04:08.15Kirovlzw:compress(string, 1)
04:08.16AnduinLotharok, i'll look at it for use in PQ if mira doesn't want the job
04:08.55KirovWorks best on really really long strings.
04:10.20KirovBut it is fairly fast.
04:11.12Wobinhm
04:11.19Kirovhmm?
04:11.27Wobinso, say I have a chat addon that stores conversations in a table format
04:11.44Wobinhow best to use your library? Serialise them into a string then compress?
04:11.49KirovYes
04:12.08Wobinhm
04:12.14KirovThe longer the string, the better the compression is likely to be.
04:12.36WobinI wonder if I can do cascading compressing
04:12.45Wobinso it only decompresses when it hits that string...
04:13.05Kirovhmm?
04:14.14Wobinat the moment, wth my addon, I pass a time period to the object which then returns conversations within that time period
04:14.33WobinI'm wondering if I can do this so that it only decompresses on demand, as such
04:15.03Wobinrather than doing the whole table and then pulling it out
04:15.23KirovOh, so keep the string compressed until you want to see it
04:15.39Wobinyeah basically =)
04:16.31KirovI'd keep a header on the string denoting the compressed / uncompressed state
04:17.31Kirovjust like have the first character be 0 for normal strings and strip it out when you display, otherwise 1.
04:17.48Kirovif string.find(string,"^1") then decompress
04:23.05abugthink it would be worth it to compress less commonly used functions in addons?
04:23.55abuglike put compressed strings directly into your addon in place of the functions and have the functions be stubs to call the decompression of the function's actual contents
04:25.05abugmaybe just for the first time the function is called
04:25.17abugcould cut down on load times maybe
04:27.46abugsort of like a winzip archive of all your functions
04:32.01abugon the negative side though it would mean your code would be obfuscated to hell
04:33.18Wobinwell
04:33.22Wobinnot really
04:33.32Wobinthe compression would be ingame... wouldn't it?
04:34.22abughmm
04:34.46abugmight have to run it through a non-wow lua parser then
04:34.57Temaye
04:34.59abugotherwise you probably wouldn't be able to use the output
04:35.07abugto copy it to your addon file
04:38.56Kirovyou can run code from a string and inject it in to the world.
04:39.38abugyeah I'm saying take the compressed strings from your function bodies and put those in place of the actual functions
04:40.13Kirovhonestly, wouldn't do much.
04:40.18abugprobably not
04:40.23Kirovprobably make it slower.
04:41.24abugwould make it harder for people to read your code though
04:41.40abugalthough it would be quite easy for them to decompress it
04:42.17Kirovnot if you include your own compression table
04:42.21Kirovand compress that
04:43.25abugI wonder if slouken would remove bitlib
04:44.09abugif people kept obfuscating their addons like that
04:44.17Kirovdoubtful
04:44.35KirovIt's not dangerous, not really anyways.
04:44.49JoshBorkemikk in here?
04:44.56abugthink you could make a sexy proof of concept for that?

22:04.46axxowe had a hunter pull out his lvl 54 monkey in the suppression room to level it
22:04.49axxoguess what happened
22:04.49QzotI complained loudly to teh guild leader of the hunter involved. He claims she is a non-farming Chinese speaker who has always been good, and in the coures of investigating decided she was either lying about farming (and therefore unable to control access to her toon), or whatever. But I simply couldn't believe my eyes.
22:05.14KirovHad a hunter recently who at lvl 60 with 3/8 giantstalker didn't know how to use tranq shot.
22:05.20nevcairielhaha
22:05.40Kirovaxxo - ew
22:06.13QzotHmm. Well, I have a 58 lock and a 60 mage that I leveled on an RP server. There's no doubt in my mind that I never really knew how to drive either class.
22:06.33QzotWhere is the "suppression room"?
22:06.38nevcairielBWL
22:06.39KirovBWL
22:06.53nevcairielsometimes referred to as the "depression room"
22:07.02QzotAh. I set foot in BWL for the first time last night. We were practicing wiping in the 1st room.
22:07.27axxothink 250mobs that rush at the aggro range of a 54 pet monkey
22:07.55KirovI just have a problem with someone who constantly insists they know what they're doing, but is last on the damage meter of the hunters, being beaten by hunters in blues and greens and he has 3/8 gs and the epic quest bow ... and doesn't know how to use Tranquilizing shot.
22:08.06QzotHunter pets level at their own agro range, and not that of their master? Ouch.
22:08.16KirovQzot - aye
22:08.31KirovThough their aggro range is reduced slightly that of a normal player.
22:08.42QzotHmm. Did I mention I have a 50 hunter as well? Obviously don't know much about her, eithre.
22:08.54Leprknsome people take the "Autoshot-afk" a little too seriously.
22:09.03QzotSo ... putting her on passive and taking her into MC would not be a great way to level her, huh?
22:09.10KirovLeprkn - aye
22:09.22KirovQzot - it's a great way of getting your pet dead
22:09.25Arrowmasteri didnt think hunter pets had aggro ranges like that? ive seen lvl 24ish pets in MC not aggro a thing
22:09.34QzotErr. I meant to say she has a level 20 pet that I want to level up to 50.
22:09.44LeprknI'm MC Raid Leader/Puller for my guild and still out DPS the other hunters
22:09.47KirovArrowmaster - as soon as they enter combat they have an aggro range
22:09.51Leprknonly up to 4/8 GS
22:10.09KirovArrowmaster - if they're on passive and not attacked they don't have an aggro range.
22:10.33KirovLeprkn - I'm usually #2 as the raid's main puller.
22:10.45QzotSo, we have a bunch of competant-sounding hunters here. What is a reasonably friendly way to level a 20 cat I want for end game use?
22:10.55Kirovby about 10,000 or so by the end of MC, but I'm going against a NE hunter with huhuran's bow
22:11.03KirovCan't really win that battle.

22:13.42QzotSo, assuming the pet level 3x what I do (is that right), I'll need to spend 1/3 as much time as it took me to get from 20-50?

23:23.20AnduinLotharlol
23:23.46AnduinLotharace propaganda at it's best
23:24.15AnduinLotharThere are a multitude of ways to do localization w/ or w/o libs
23:24.24Cidelocal locale = GetLocale(); if ( locale == "enUS" or locale == "enGB" ) then YourStringTable = { ["windowTitle"] = "Hi there" } elseif ( locale == "deDE" ) then YourStringTable = { ["windowTitle"] = "Hi there in German" } end
23:24.25warlai'd prefer no lib ^^
23:24.41warlais there a way to have them in separate lua files
23:24.48warlaand load te right one at the language?
23:24.49AnduinLotharsure
23:24.52AnduinLotharno
23:24.58Cideyes
23:24.59warlalike having a deDE.lua and a enUS.lua
23:25.04warlaand load them at startup
23:25.09XuerianLoad it dynamically? No... Use the right one DEFINED in the lua file? sure
23:25.13Cideyou'd just have it execute all files, and have each file contain an if statement, checking if it's the appopriate file to parse
23:25.20AnduinLotharyou can easily make multiple files but you cant only have the right one load
23:25.26Cideerr, execute
23:25.33AnduinLotharright
23:25.39AnduinLotharencase the file in an if statement
23:25.44warlaso hmm
23:25.46QzotTho I suspect it's easier for translators if there is a single file to edit.
23:25.48warlai could to this:
23:25.53warlahave 3 language files
23:25.57warlaand load all 3
23:26.00warlawhich will be executed

23:35.36MentalPowerwarla: http://wowi.pastey.net/1268
23:35.43MentalPowerit works for most items
23:35.57MentalPowerit fails for items with randomProps and for items that share names
23:36.16zenzelezzrandomProps = of the..?
23:36.33MentalPoweryep
23:43.44Qzotwarla: If I wanted to localize something, of course I wouldn't use what anyone else has done.
23:44.07Qzotwarla: So I'd write some simple framework like http://wowi.pastey.net/1269
23:44.27QzotAnd put it in one Lua file.
23:46.53KirovI have a more advanced one that will get the item id even for same-name items.
23:47.03Kirovincluding suffixids
23:47.11Kirovbut it's not terribly fast.
23:47.16QzotI still can't log into the beta.
23:49.16CairennQzot: o.O
23:49.21CairennQzot: you got your beta invite?
23:49.30QzotNo. That's why I can't log in. :(
23:49.34Qzot:D
23:49.36Cairennrofl
23:49.37zenzelezzthink he's still trying to fool people
23:49.40zenzelezzlike earlier
23:49.53QzotIndeed. In a rasty mood today.
23:50.35QzotKirov: How does it work?
23:51.34KirovQzot - tooltip parsing
23:51.45QzotKirov: Can it do it without shifting the time-to-read from 30 to 3 days?
23:52.12KirovIt generates a noticable hitch for sure.
23:52.33QzotI don't understand "notieable hitch"? Delay?
23:53.06KirovQzot - when you open your mailbox, the screen appears to freeze up for about few miliseconds longer than usual.
23:53.12Kirovso, yes, it causes a noticable delay.
23:53.56QzotI'm less concerned with that than shortening the amount of time I have until I have to retrieve something out of my mail.
23:54.11KirovIt'd be possibly to cache all the tooltips in the mail and do them one every update instead of all at once.

23:54.40QzotHmm. Can you also get count this way?
23:55.14Kirovhmm
23:55.22KirovI thought you could get that already
23:55.38QzotWait. Tooltips? I thought you couldn't get tooltips without selecting the item. And selecting/reading the item definitely drops you to a 3-day time limit.
23:55.51AnduinLotharno
23:55.59AnduinLothartooltips are availible
23:56.15Kirovhttp://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetInboxItem - doesn't incur the 3 day penalty either
23:57.26QzotWow. But the default UI doesn't show the count. Bad, bad.
