| 12:19.13 | foxlit | It's silly to address this by finding an alternate dropdown library. |
| 12:20.33 | foxlit | uidd is everywhere in the default ui, so your addon would pretty much have to touch nothing else for that to save you. |
| 12:20.35 | nevcairiel | that library was also not really designed for generic dropdowns, and its unmaintained, being patched up by the first guy to notice an issue, not always the best guy for the job =p |
| 12:20.48 | AcidWeb | I'm open to suggestions. UIDropDownMenu always had issues but in 7.x it become TaintFactory(). |
| 12:20.54 | AcidWeb | And I need MENU type dropdowns. |
| 12:21.20 | foxlit | Avoiding dropdowns as the primary interaction mechanism with your addons would be good. |
| 12:21.43 | nevcairiel | whats a menu type dropdown exactly |
| 12:22.11 | nevcairiel | i use basic dropdowns using UIDD and so far the pvp stuff still seems to work |
| 12:22.23 | foxlit | For secondary uses, you can pretty much just use UIDD, replacing _Initialize with a manual assignment and using _SetText to avoid actually running any code before the user interacts with that dropdown. This generally keeps the side-effects managable to the point that people can just /reload if they need a pvp queue. |
| 12:23.00 | nevcairiel | i use UIDropDownMenuTemplate with a .initialize callback, i've been told that avoids some of the taint |
| 12:23.57 | nevcairiel | ie. not EasyMenu, and not calling _Initialize myself |
| 12:24.48 | foxlit | the only thing that buys you is avoiding the initialization at the moment of creating the dropdown -- EasyMenu should be fine. |

| 12:25.11 | AcidWeb | If using UI require /reload for basic functionalities I would say that it is broken. |
| 12:27.41 | AcidWeb | And I will not ship the code that is breaking user UI. |

| 13:16.18 | foxlit | Then your options are pretty much: 1. Write your own dropdown library. 2. Never ship anything. |
| 13:17.39 | foxlit | (okay, those would be *my* options with that set of constraints. it's possible that you also have 3. Use some renamed version of UIDD and *never* interact with any piece of framexml that uses the proper dropdown. ) |
| 13:19.40 | nevcairiel | renaming has the same effect as writing your own, just lazier =p |
| 13:20.16 | foxlit | yeah, but those libraries are using libstub for version control in a library shipping xml templates. |
| 13:20.32 | nevcairiel | thats always fun |
| 13:20.43 | nevcairiel | better hope you dont have to change the xml |
| 13:22.33 | foxlit | [soapbox: ship sometimes-intentionally-broken stuff! The cumulative annoyance should result in support pressure to actually fix it.] |
| 13:23.18 | nevcairiel | the problem is that support will never find out the true depth of the problem and will brush you off with "broken addons" |

| 13:30.10 | Tentacled | As for UIDD taint, you could as well just make a deep copy of the original code, like I did in Zygor. Same code, replaced function names, taint stays local. |

| 13:30.54 | Tentacled | that is, what foxlit said, pretty much. |
| 13:33.21 | AcidWeb | Well there are at least two "librares" that make copy of Blizzard code. And I used them for some time in 7.x. But now 8.0 is close and as foxlit said - they use XML files. |
| 13:33.47 | AcidWeb | And using them during transition will be just a headache. |

| 14:00.56 | Tentacled | AcidWeb: none else. |
| 14:02.26 | nevcairiel | foxlit: the nil key thing truely is annoying, and forcing a re-hash is rather evil =p |
| 14:02.37 | foxlit | nevcairiel: it doesn't force a rehash. |
| 14:03.01 | foxlit | I initially intended to go that route, but this is better. |
| 14:03.42 | nevcairiel | what does setting a tabel key to nil all over even do |
| 14:03.55 | nevcairiel | different keys anyway |
| 14:03.58 | foxlit | just what it says on the tin. |
| 14:04.18 | foxlit | it sets a hash table entry to that key and nil. |
| 14:04.40 | nevcairiel | so with any luck it ovverrides the previous hash entry, without a full re-hash? |
| 14:04.44 | foxlit | (I also couldn't find a way to shrink the table after introducing additional keys, so the rehash route would've probably killed your framerate by dropdown #42) |
| 14:05.20 | foxlit | Yep. Just clobber the slot holding the "value" key and the problem goes away. |
| 14:05.25 | nevcairiel | is the fx name choosen to match the default lua hash algorithm to get into the same slot as value? |
| 14:05.33 | nevcairiel | or just random |

| 19:22.32 | nevcairiel | afking in a dangerous area gets punished by death, thats how it is and should be |
| 19:22.39 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: I expect that when I'mn standing outside of their range I can mount, and it not being interupted at 99% because a shitty 1HP mob decided to take a loko at me |
| 19:23.13 | nevcairiel | obviously you are not outside their range if they aggro |
| 19:23.16 | nevcairiel | so get over it |
| 19:23.39 | bluspacecow | just find a safe place to go afk |
| 19:23.43 | Chipzz | but for me the bhottom line is: I wnat to play the game the way I want it. I want that decision to be mine, not at the discression of a 1HP piece of shity |
| 19:23.57 | nevcairiel | maybe you should switch games |
| 19:24.04 | nevcairiel | no game works like you want, games work like the devs want |
| 19:24.14 | Chipzz | bluspacecow: pretty hard in Argus, no? that's what's making it worse, Argus being such a total SHITHOLE of a place |
| 19:24.28 | bluspacecow | i literally never have that issue in argus |
| 19:24.42 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: I enjoy 99% of WoW, but there are some things that are downright SHIT design |
| 19:24.49 | nevcairiel | no its not |
| 19:25.01 | nevcairiel | mobs aggroing you when you stand around in their area is totally normal |
| 19:25.29 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: what I'm talki0ng about is mount casts being interruptable |
| 19:25.36 | Chipzz | that is downright fucking retarded |
| 19:25.53 | nevcairiel | you do realize that 95% of your rambling above was about you having to kill a mob while trying to tab out, right? |
| 19:25.59 | nevcairiel | maybe you should sort out your rambling first |
| 19:26.27 | Chipzz | nice troll, except right now I'm standing in town :P |
| 19:26.30 | bluspacecow | like is said. safe zones. find one where mobs dont spawn. then afk |
| 19:26.42 | Chipzz | bluspacecow: there aren't any in Argus |
| 19:26.51 | bluspacecow | yeah there are |
| 19:26.59 | Alram | pls there's plenty |
| 19:27.00 | bluspacecow | you just suck at finding them |
| 19:27.16 | Chipzz | bluspacecow: again, that's part of the whole issue. you can not set a single step in Argus without aggroing some shit mob |
| 19:27.16 | nevcairiel | its not a troll, do i need to quote you your own multi-line ramble, of which only one part of a sentence was about mounting? :p |
| 19:27.35 | nevcairiel | its the enemies stronghold, if thats not full of mobs, then what should be :p |
| 19:28.33 | bluspacecow | full of sunshine rainbows and icecream apparently |
| 19:29.18 | nevcairiel | you see so many people say stuff like that, argus is annoying because its full of enemies. well duh, we're invading their planet |
| 19:29.21 | Chipzz | and about safe spots... the whole deal was that I took a wrong turn somewhere and "got lost"... kinda hard to find a safe spot then |
| 19:29.47 | nevcairiel | thats what the map is for |
| 19:29.58 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: by that line of reasoning, shouldn't the whole world be full of enemies... ? |
| 19:30.16 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: hahahahahahahaha... the map, LOL, as if that is any useful |
| 19:30.21 | nevcairiel | is for me |
| 19:30.21 | Chipzz | ROFMAO |
| 19:30.24 | nevcairiel | maybe you just suck at map reading |
| 19:30.26 | Chipzz | half of the mobs are in caves |
| 19:30.34 | Chipzz | or smoe other hidden position |
| 19:30.55 | Chipzz | so the map is mostly useless half of the time |
| 19:31.10 | Chipzz | there's a reason ppl write addons to make it more bearable :P |
| 19:31.12 | Alram | if half of the mobs are in caves it should be even easier to find a safe spot! |
| 19:31.14 | nevcairiel | for finding the mobs maybe, but not for finding your way back to a safe spot, which this entire thing is about |
| 19:31.33 | nevcairiel | bottom line: your navigation skills need work |
| 19:31.38 | Chipzz | in your eyes it's about that |
| 19:31.40 | Chipzz | no |
| 19:31.44 | nevcairiel | yes |
| 19:31.59 | Chipzz | it's not just about navgiation, can be about anythihg, like a quest objective or whatever |
| 19:32.02 | Chipzz | NO |
| 19:32.19 | Alram | i pick Fiskers side in this argument |
| 19:32.20 | Chipzz | I can be stuck on a quest and have to look it up. how does that in any way relate to my navigation skills? |
| 19:32.39 | nevcairiel | you just complained about finding a safe spot when you are lost, i told you how to do that, and you twist it around to be something e lse because you suck |
| 19:32.42 | nevcairiel | that is all |
| 19:32.43 | Chipzz | oh, it does not I hear you say? |

| 19:32.50 | bluspacecow | i agree alram. if the caves thing holds true then just not be in a cave! |
| 19:33.12 | Alram | clearly |
| 19:33.34 | Chipzz | no, you're making this about my skills as a player, which this is not about at all. at the core, this is about the PLAYER deciding what hye wants to do, and not getting dictated by a 1HP mob |
| 19:33.46 | Chipzz | you trying to derail that doesn't change anything |
| 19:33.48 | nevcairiel | i'm sure thre are no 1HP mobs on argus |
| 19:34.06 | bluspacecow | i think there may be a squirrel out there with 1HP |
| 19:34.10 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: I'm exagerating to make a point. but you knew, that, right? |
| 19:34.13 | bluspacecow | and a deadly stare attack |
| 19:34.14 | Alram | classic fel squirrels |
| 19:34.33 | bluspacecow | *dramatic squirrel stare attack* |
| 19:34.43 | Alram | 1hp but also insta death stare |
| 19:35.03 | nevcairiel | just play a rogue or any night elve, then you can hide in the shadows if you need to constantly lookup things on the youtubes |
| 19:35.14 | bluspacecow | pfft |
| 19:35.17 | bluspacecow | do what i do |
| 19:35.17 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: now maybe we should get back to the gist of the discussion, which is player choice |
| 19:35.23 | bluspacecow | look it up on your faplet |
| 19:35.26 | bluspacecow | oh i mean tablet |
| 19:35.32 | Alram | or a druid or a mage |
| 19:35.37 | nevcairiel | so should the player be able to choose that he is in a safe zone and a ll mobs ignore him? |
| 19:35.39 | nevcairiel | how is that logical |
| 19:35.42 | Alram | or a warrior and just kill everything first |
| 19:35.57 | bluspacecow | no alram |
| 19:36.03 | bluspacecow | you kill everything *twice* |
| 19:36.06 | nevcairiel | hey mobs, i'm out for a minute, please attack me later |
| 19:36.10 | bluspacecow | that way you know the respawn rate :P |
| 19:36.12 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: I usually play a feral druid as my main, and level it first. In WoD I decided to level my priest first, I still have nightmares about to this day |
| 19:36.19 | Alram | or you increase the spawn rate by killing everything twice |
| 19:36.24 | Chipzz | was a completely SHIT experience, made me HATE questing |
| 19:36.28 | Alram | pls bluspacecow rookie mistake |

| 19:38.30 | Chipzz | I had the exact same experience leveling my priest I just had in Argus, being unable to alt-tab out to look sth up because mobs kept hitting me in the face. really shitty game-play experience |
| 19:39.00 | Alram | read faster |
| 19:39.26 | Andols | so what do you want, a button that makes all npcs ignore you? |
| 19:39.55 | Chipzz | reasonable spawn rate and smaller aggro radius? |
| 19:40.11 | Chipzz | also, mount cast being uninteruptable |
| 19:41.01 | Alram | tbh stuff already has an unrealistically low aggro radius these days |
| 19:41.06 | Alram | all mobs need glasses |
| 19:41.20 | Alram | you get a bit more warning in bfa which is nice |
| 19:41.32 | Andols | warning? |
| 19:41.33 | Alram | if a mob stares at you then you too close |
| 19:41.50 | Andols | Cool, so first they stare and then they engage? |
| 19:41.57 | Alram | yeah for humanoids atleast |
| 19:42.08 | nevcairiel | yeah similar to the effect you get when they see you in stealth |
| 19:42.09 | Alram | the dwarves i ran into also yelled |
| 19:43.12 | Alram | bfa also has some wider zones i think |
| 19:43.14 | Alram | so more space |
| 19:43.24 | Chipzz | Andols: also, you know what solves ALL of this? flying :P |
| 19:43.29 | Alram | ew |
| 19:44.04 | Chipzz | I can just mount flying mount, hit spacebar to fly up, and look up my video in peace and quiet without some shit mnob insisting I pay ity attention |
| 19:44.40 | Andols | I like flying but i agree with blizzards stance of explore and play the world first and fly later |
| 19:44.43 | Chipzz | which is why I learned from WoD and only level my druid until flying is unlocked |

| 19:48.13 | Chipzz | Andols: I disagree on their stance. Everyone is entitled to play the game the way they want, or should be. I enjoy dungeons and raids, like pet battles but I hate PvP and dislike questing. As much effort their artists put into the game world, I care little about walking around in their world. IMO questing is being forced upon you... |
| 19:49.53 | Chipzz | you can say I'm being childish, but I'm not the only one with that opinion. Tried to drag a friend back into the game, he likes the dungeon side of it, the fight mechanics etc, but he hates questing too. He came back for a couple of weeks and then quit again |
| 19:50.45 | Chipzz | even with me doing the 100-110 questing for him while duel-boxing |
