It is by far the best mod compliation ever made. I do however have a few concerns and questions that hopefully I can get answered here.

1. Being in beta I have noticed a few things that really stick out.
1st is that Blizz seems to be really enjoying the whole (Take over this or that and use its skills.) Example You jump on a frost wyrm and use its skills to shoot ice bolts down on mobs. Or you get in a turret and turn it on the crew. stuff like that. So my question is will mazzle be able to handle this because the last time I checked mazzle while doing Teron Gorefiend (when you turn into a ghost I had none of my ghost abilites.) Is this still going to be a problem?

2. Is mazzifying with DK going to be a problem when WotLK first starts up or should this be fixxed assuming the patch gets out before the actual Xpac releases.

3. and Lastly basically flows back into the first question but this happens to deal with my main char. My lock I figured I would make him full demo (thats what he is now in beta and metamorph is awesome.) Question is like the first question are the bars and skill positions going to be a problem?

I realize that some of these questions wont be able to be answered because the Xpac is pretty far away these are just some questions I had. Thanks in advance for the answers. ]]> Mazzle blbjtb http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17785 LDB implementation questions http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17783&goto=newpost Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:46:52 GMT Ok, I think I've got it right, but I thought I'd just a couple of questions.

1. In the data feed example here there is the line;

Code:

f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, elap)

Just want to know when "OnUpdate" actually fires.

2. In the line;

Code:

dataobj.text = string.format("%.1f FPS", fps)

This is less to do with LDB, but while I'm here, I thought I'd ask. The %.1f gets replaced with the variable fps, and is rounded off to 1 decimal place, right?

IsSpellInRange("Healing Wave","PLAYER") returns "1"

IsSpellInRange("Lightning Shield","PLAYER") returns nil

The character, of course, has BOTH spells in their spellbook.

I'm getting WAY tired of this **** tbh - I assumed after 3 years that the API would actually WORK PROPERLY - but apparently it works "when it feels like it" at best?

I'm sure those of you who've been doing this for a while are used to this slipshoddy ****ty behaviour and the seemingly SHOCKING quality of their code - but I'm not sure why I should keep spending time on addons when

a) Blizzards API is apparently substandard crap
b) at every patch they change it as they feel like it with NO regard for any of the commonsense rules of software development (consistent parameter order, consistent return values, not making old code FAIL by changing things for no really good reason etc)
c) they are not interested in the opinions of EU developers - as we're locked-out of their UI forum discussion anyway...

I've been busy lately, and plumb forgot on 8/10 cause I spent that time testing the entries to the Addons Gone Crazy contest.

As usual recently, there were SO MANY uploads to the site in the past couple of weeks - I narrowed it down as much as I could, and am still left with 4. So, you'll just have to deal. :p

LeaveMeAlone:

Standing in Stormwind on my coding/testing alt, I get party invites, guild invites, etc. I'm not the only one annoyed by it, because now there is LeaveMeAlone for those times when you just want to be... left alone. It even lets you put in your own custom message, like "I don't wish to be in a guild" or "I don't do duels" or "who are you?" It will allow these events if the person is on your friends list or in your guild.

So, if you're a loner, having a bad day, or whatever your reasons, check out the download page for more info.

O.B.I. - On Button Information:

Want to know more information about your spells/abilities? How long is left on the debuff you put on your target or how much energy you need before your next Mangle? There are addons that do this via timer bars or announcements, but what if you just want to look at your action bars or don't want any clutter? Then try out O.B.I. - it adds information for any spell/buff/macro of your choice to the button itself.

For more info, check out its download page.

InfoBar:

You've heard of Titan Panel, you've heard of FuBar. There are also the new data display addons now like StatBlocks, Fortress, LynStats, etc. But how many of you remember the grand daddy of them all? Previously, Telo's addons were only available via his own site, with threads in the US UI & Macros forum when he updated for each patch. Lucky for us, he decided to move them to wowinterface. InfoPanel and LootLink were my first addons - I thought I'd share with you, too.

Check it out here.

ItemAge:

Ever wonder how long you've had that quest item in your bag? How about a blue world drop you keep trying to sell on the AH - is it time to just vendor it and give up? Now you'll know how long items have been collecting dust in your bags.

Read more and download here.

When I loaded the 1.18 and addon pack, following the mazzifier's instructions (had to do it as a fresh install), the right-most chatbox with the icons above it for potions, food, water, etc was not there. I used the mazzleui options to load missing chatboxes, and it puts that box with its icons over the main chat. It subsequently becomes hidden as soon as I do anything chat-related. I cannot move this chat box, nor can I resize it. The old version I was on, 1.16, did not do this.

Can anyone tell me how to either get the window to appear where it belongs or how to move it/resize it myself? There is no chat panel name to click on, as that is where the potion, food, etc icons are and I really am not familiar enough with the prat & hitsmode options to find it, if it is even there.

My second issue: the trinket buttons also have difficulty showing up, with one of them appearing far to the right of the other. I end up with one trinket icon, the little gear that lets me change the options, and then halfway across the right side of the ui the other trinket icon.

I tried using the options on the gear to fix it, but the gear itself is moved over to where the 2nd trinket icon should be, leaving what appears to be a bullet point where the gear should go. Also, I checked my UI settings and I am loading the correct aspect ratio. Any help on this part would also be appreciated. I also feel that these may be related somehow. ]]> Mazzle Dagmoth http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17772 How to get the size in yards of a given map? http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17771&goto=newpost Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:55:35 GMT Since GetPlayerMapPosition() returns coordinates for instances with WotLK I'm current playing around with the coordinates and range checks.

My goal is to calculate the distance between the player and a specific unit in yards.

I realized that GetPlayerMapPosition() returns "the unit position relative to WorldMapDetailFrame". A number between 0 and 1.
So I used GetPlayerMapPosition() to get PlayerX, PlayerY and TargetX, TargetY.

So far so good. But how do I get the range in yards from this data? I've found the Astrolabe and LibTourist libs. Both calculate distances in yards based on GetPlayerMapPosition and additional tables with the size in yards of all zones.
eg. from Astrolabe:

Code:

Ashenvale = {

        height = 3843.722811451077,

        width = 5766.728884700476,

        ...

        }

So this is exactly what I need. But where the hell do I get these data from?
I've searched around for hours, did tests with map viewers, mpq data, looked at WorldMapFrame.lua, etc., etc. But I can't find any way to get, query or calculate the map size of a given map in yards. :(

I would really appreciate any help/idea on this topic. ]]> General Authoring Discussion Duugu http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17771 what addon can show from wher an item is? http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17770&goto=newpost Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:18:30 GMT i notice in some pics an addon that show, in the item's tooltip, from wher did he drop or from where was bought. what was the name of that addon? can somebody tell me? ]]> Interface Help Shadowcall http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17770
