| 01:34.53 | Semlar | i like when the "core" file of an addon contains a 14mb lua table |
| 01:44.19 | MooreaTv | what's up with all these addons having a core.lua btw ? is it copy-pasta from some other addons? what's wrong with myAddon.lua ? |
| 01:44.34 | Semlar | it's a naming convention |
| 01:44.42 | Semlar | foxlit: their website is truly impressive |
| 01:45.36 | Semlar | it looks like they've managed to copy nearly every warcraft fansite in one place |

| 01:46.22 | MooreaTv | convention from where ? a.out is a convention too, doesn't mean you leave your executables named that way ;-) |
| 01:52.25 | nebula | ace |
| 01:52.55 | nebula | breaking things into modules was a key concept |
| 01:54.58 | foxlit | Semlar: i like when the "core" file of an addon contains a 14mb lua table << I think it almost contains a 14MB *line*. |
| 01:55.52 | foxlit | also putting all the strings into three tables in a separate file with numeric string keys is awesome. |
| 01:58.25 | Semlar | https://wowraid.cn/addon.php they've got addons, raider.io, a wowtoken price tracker, an online simcraft runner |
| 01:59.07 | Semlar | i didn't see wowhead in there |
| 02:00.55 | foxlit | wowhead has a chinese site |
| 02:01.19 | Mr_Rabies | zam is wholly owned by tencent last i checked |
| 02:01.59 | foxlit | but it mostly makes sense -- you would want all those things localized given a sufficient population. |
| 02:03.14 | Semlar | i'm actually impressed that they have chinese translations of addon descriptions, i wonder if that's automated |
| 02:03.37 | nebula | i've seen a few cn sites with that |
| 02:04.08 | nebula | including adding cn localization to addons that don't have it |
| 02:04.30 | foxlit | probably not, Semlar. |
| 02:04.35 | Semlar | it doesn't look automated |
| 02:04.52 | foxlit | It's easier just to ask someone to write something when they submit the mod. |
| 02:05.32 | Semlar | the download link actually goes directly to curseforge |
| 02:06.04 | Semlar | i know this because my json plugin tries to format their zip files instead of downloading them |
| 02:08.11 | Semlar | because their content type is set to "application/x-amz-json-1.0" |

| 05:35.40 | MooreaTv | do you guys know if GetAuctionItemTimeLeft uses coroutine (seems it does, seems it doesn't return yet some events get processed) |
| 05:48.51 | MooreaTv | experimentally it is, which throws a wrench into my understanding of wow lua safety |

| 20:13.36 | Industrial | Question: Can I take my 8.x AddOns and run them on Classic / 1.13 ? |
| 20:13.55 | foxlit | not in general, no. |
| 20:14.13 | foxlit | though you do stand a chance if your addons don't do much. |
| 20:28.22 | Ennea | you can check out the changes made to the api here: https://wow.gamepedia.com/Patch_1.13.2/API_changes |
| 20:28.41 | Ennea | that might make it easier to figure out what does and doesn't need adjustments |
| 20:31.41 | Semlar | my addon that draws a line on the map showing which way you're facing apparently works in classic |
| 20:32.37 | Semlar | which is actually kind of surprising |
| 20:37.47 | nevcairiel | luckily classic uses the 8.x map system |
| 20:44.24 | Ennea | Semlar, that's a thing already, huh? |
| 20:45.21 | Ennea | you should tell this person about it https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/cq9coa/fourday_chat_7_addons_14aug19_18aug19_lowmod_week/ex1vjyz/ |
| 20:45.26 | Semlar | if you mean this https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/mapline |
| 20:45.48 | Semlar | i know it's hard to find |
| 20:47.43 | Semlar | i probably should have named it something more descriptive |
| 20:53.58 | Mr_Rabies | honestly curse's halfassed search is really the problem |
| 20:54.07 | kd3 | halfassed? that's generous |
| 20:54.23 | kd3 | quarter-assed at best |
| 20:54.34 | Semlar | to be fair, i haven't pushed a toc update for most of my addons in like a year |
| 20:54.43 | Semlar | so it's probably hiding them |
| 20:54.46 | Mr_Rabies | you can do some stuff in the client that you can't on the website and vice versa |
| 20:54.48 | foxlit | https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/search?search=map+line >> first result. What do you want from them? |
| 20:54.50 | Mr_Rabies | which is hilarious |
| 20:56.16 | foxlit | also included: sleeker, more recent addon that draws a fancy dotted line. |
| 20:56.36 | Ennea | sleeker? doesn't turn up for me in the search you linked |
| 20:56.47 | Ennea | oh, it's not literally called sleeker |
| 20:56.49 | Ennea | :D |
| 20:57.13 | Semlar | you know mine's better |
| 20:57.14 | Ennea | i was wondering what a weird name that was.. |
| 20:57.31 | foxlit | all I see is "last updated" dates, Semlar. |
| 20:57.34 | foxlit | :P |
| 20:57.39 | Semlar | last updated: NEVER |
| 20:57.58 | Semlar | I DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME |
| 20:57.59 | foxlit | Invalid Date: NaN:NaN PM |
| 20:58.07 | Ennea | that other addon only does it when flying, according to the description |
| 20:58.11 | Ennea | which already makes it worse |
| 20:59.07 | foxlit | meh, flying is the only case where a straight line is appropriate |
| 20:59.23 | Semlar | can't fly in classic ohoho |
| 20:59.24 | foxlit | ground-based navigation should show you which terrain hole you'll get stuck in. |
| 20:59.36 | Semlar | checkmate, other addon |
| 20:59.49 | Ennea | oh hey, blizz will be lifting the 3 char limit for name reservation on monday already |
| 21:00.03 | Ennea | so we can create all our chars before launch |
| 21:00.18 | Ennea | foxlit, what Semlar said: no flying in classic |
| 21:00.22 | Ennea | (thank god) |
| 21:01.06 | foxlit | classic sucks. |
| 21:01.21 | Ennea | it'll be glorious and awesome |
| 21:01.37 | kd3 | I'm not a poor college student with more time than sense |
| 21:01.50 | kd3 | grinding to 60 the hard way is not appealing at all |
| 21:02.04 | Ennea | you can take it slow, it's cool |
