Killing Blows

SydneyBarringer — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:58:45 GMT

Hi. I'm trying to make a test addon (it will lead to something else eventually) that shows who kills who in, say, arena. Every kill relating to your party somehow (either they killed someone or someone killed them) would pop up on your screen saying who killed who and their classes.

For example,
"BobDaRogue (Rogue) has killed BernieTheMage (Mage)"

I hardly understand COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED, but I think I know how to make the mod tell me when I land a killing blow, but I don't know how to make it fetch the names or classes. Could anyone help?

Thanks,
-Sydney Barringer

Need debuff coding help

Is there a way to know if trap debuffs are from the player and when they get applied? Have tried for ages now without finding a way to do it :p

I have tried to listen to "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" and catch the Aura but then I dont know if it was me who triggered it + it does not seem to work :confused:

Name Plate Functionality ?

Sublimate — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:50:17 GMT

Greetings,

Curious if there is anything out there that can add a targeting indicator to enemy nameplates? Tiptac I think shows the mobs target on the tooltip on mousover of the default nameplate, but I'm trying to find something that shows this on the nameplates.

Maybe something like a small, non obtrusive green-light, red-light indicator that would tell me when a mob in my aoe threat generation decides to change targets.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Force secure driver update?

trash1 — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 07:23:39 GMT

Hello guyz, I have a question I fail to find an answer..

I've created a header and a button, set up button remapping on stealth. The button will not be remapped to its "initial" state until 'state-stealth' changes. Is there a way to force secure driver update? Or do I have to do it all manually the first time? I mean to check all states and set the appropriate driver state after button creation?

Doh!!!

I'd just like to vent and make a public announcement of my short bus worthy brain fart I had this afternoon. I decided to switch from Windows Vista to Linux (Ubuntu). I was making sure to back up my music, videos, pictures, and of course my Addons and WTF folders from WoW onto an external hard drive.

Guess what I forgot to backup.......YEP! The Addons and WTF folders......

So now, here I am trying to remember all the (75+) addons I have to re-download and configure while i wait for the patch(s) to download from blizz.

Metz UI - Feedback/Suggestions

Metzerott — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:03:43 GMT

Hi!

I have uploaded my UI found here. I created this UI as I was working on oUF_Circle.

The basic premise is that I only want information when it is relevant. The unitframe transparency is based on the health of the unit (Less health == less transparent). It is also a heavy keybinding UI and I make heavy use of OPie (only one of the best addons ever made!)

I like a clean look and tried to ensure that only relevant information is shown when you need it.

Please use this thread for any feedback or suggestions.

Thanks!

The UI with all cast bars showing (Player, Target and Focus)

The UI showing the unit frames showing how as the unit is damaged the transparency decreases:

The UI showing the aggro ring (red around the center of the player unit):

How to put this..

Amaru — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:01:40 GMT

I don't really know how to put this, otherwise I would search because I know theres like 5 mods that do it, but I want a mod that shows like..... heres a EX:

+5 Agility. I want to know what that really is. like a percent.

Nerd Rage

Elloria — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:40:50 GMT

This post is appropriatly named because the topic is surrounding that.

I get accused quite often of this so called "Nerd Rage." So I come to the wowi community(becuase you guys are less likely to pop off at the mouth and be douche bags)

Why is it when I get upset over someone either:

Calling me names
Making fun of me
Repeatidly bothering me about something

I get the "nerd rage" tag slapped on me? Example:

Im in nagrand. We have a group of 3 (myself included) we are killing the big elephant for the finale quest from nessingwarys expedition. We are asking in general chat (a few times i might add) Does anyone need this quest? "We could use some help we can't dps it down fast enough with out heals."

After standing there waiting for a few minutes 2 level 70s swoop down from above. The paladin asks...do you guys need help on this quest? We reply of course please! I ask them to drop group so i can invite them.

They then with out saying anything attack the mob and fly away with out saying a word. When I say something about it chat, "Gee thanks guys we really needed help with that quest but it was sure fun to watch you kill it!" I get responses back such as:

NOOB QQ MOAR
Get over it , stop taking the game so seriously nerd rager
NERD RAGE

etc ... etc...

Am I really that wrong for being upset? Im not stomping and crying on the other side of the computer but im a bit frustrated. Is it so wrong for me to express my frustrations outloud?

and my other beef with the world of warcraft community is this.

Why is it so hard for people to just play the game and get along with people? I can understand dissagreements this world is not perfect. But i can't go two seconds in wow now with out having to face some douche bag and his big band of friends that want nothing more in this world but to bother me and cause me to be upset.

so yea there is some " nerd rage " for you.

Edit: to add to my pile of nerd rage. My other beef is the UI community as a whole. When did we decide it was a good idea to start a trend of making fun of others uis? I have removed my self almost completely from the ui and macro forums because the constant douche baggery that consists over there. I for one love seeing all the cool new ui ideas. Even if i dont think it looks good i keep my mouth shut because i have something that alot of other people dont seem to posess.... MANNERS.

Modifier Keys Spellcasting

Suspi — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:04:57 GMT

So I use Healbot.. and I love it. I like being able to either right click, hold ctrl - right click, shift - right click.. all for different spells.

Now.. is it possible to use more than just CTRL, SHIFT, and ALT for this? Would it be possible to do something like.. hold Q and right click for a different spell to be casted?

The reason for this is because I have my keypad on the left.. and I want to maintain the functionality of using modifier keys without access to the ctrl, shift, and alt keys.

Eepanels Question(Advanced)

Juggernautt — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:55:41 GMT

Hey all. UI designer here and I am a little stumped as I am attempting to expand my horizons and limits on eepanels.

Here is my newly updated 3.0 version(proof) and I have a question.

I want the skulls eyes and mouth to change to a red color(I have made the extra panels for it already) however I do not know the exact process on how to implement it in game. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch.

Noob needing advice

dragonclaw7000 — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:23:59 GMT

Ok. I have been coding away on my first addon for a while now and yesterday I ran into an iritating problem. After many hours of trail and error I have yet to find the error. Someone with a little more knowledge who would like to take a look at my code? ;)

This is the part where the error is located:

Code:

function TrapTimer:EventHandler(actionframe, event, ...)

        if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then

                TrapTimer:Initialize()

        end

        if event == "UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED" then

                ChatFrame1:AddMessage("YEz!")

                local arg1, arg2, arg3 = ...

                TrapTimer:UpdateCooldown(arg1, arg2, arg3)

        end

end



local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", "TrapTimerFrame", UIParent)



frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

frame:SetScript("OnEvent", TrapTimer:EventHandler(self, event, ...))



TrapTimer.frame = frame
