I have just uploaded a Beta version of Proximo 2.3. It has some significant enhancements to it. Here is the full change log:
- Added New "Use in Battlegrounds" option. It basically just becomes a "last 5 targets" unit frame for self only, and doesn't sync with other users. Work in Progress. ReloadUI if this is turned on or off while in a BG.
- Removed old talent code.
- Added new talents using TalentGuess-1.0. Provides talents as best as possible based on comblog events and buffs. No longer syncs talents as it isn't needed with this approach.
- Converted to using ShareMedia Widgets for Ace3.
- Added Frost Nova to tracked auras.lua
- Fix for highlighted frames staying after leaving and reentering an arena
The new battleground mode is still a work in progress, and is not even something I use. However, it has been requested enough and adding it is fairly straight forward, that I wanted to give it a start. Right now, its more or lesss just shows the last 5 people you have targeted or moused over. After 5 target its starts replacing the oldest targets with the new ones. It does not sync with other Proximo users in this mode and is still limited by the normal combat events as far as click event go. I also would recommend using a 2nd profile in this mode, as you probably will not need or use many of the features in battlegrounds like you would in arena.
The new talents are provided by TalentGuess-1.0 (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info8990-LibTalentGuess-1.0.html). This library keeps track of the talents used by players and makes educated guesses to the possible talents they have. It will never know their exact talent trees, but it should give you enough to generally how a player is spec'd. If you don't know the talent trees, I suggest you learn them =)
Please post feedback on these and the other changes here.
wrt LibTalentGuess-1.0, maybe you should load it via TOC, too. files.wowace.com prunes embeds.xml vo no-ext zips though since the lib is embedded from another svn it will still be embedded into the zip and not downloaded standalone as optdep. So one would be missing it in case one didn't install it by hand.
Furthermore, it seems that TalentGuess-1.0 (Which doesn't follow naming conventions and should be called LibTalentGuess-1.0) doesn't use LibStub properly, but I might very well be wrong in that regard. I disembedded it myself for now, but it won't work in the current way if you download it just so.
Since its not hosted on the wowace SVN, I guess its causing some issues. If I added it to the TOC, I guess I have to force it to load LibStub also, since it wouldn't be loaded otherwise in cases where the embeds.xml is trimmed:
For now, don't use Jwowupdater to update Proximo as I have no idea how it handles externals not on the wowace SVN. Just download it directly from wowace:
Hm, running jWowUpdater disembended and it just puts TalentGuess it into Proximo/libs, working fine that way.
I guess there is some problem with your configuration of the updater.
Anyone have any opinions on the Battlegrounds feature? I personally don't find it very useful and think it may work better as a separate addon entirely. However, if enough people find it useful I can leave it. Its pretty minor stuff code wise, just feel it could be better written when not having to be "stuffed" into an Arena based mod.
I have to agree with you Grayhoof. Personally I don't think you really need to change targets a lot in battlegrounds as they're more about 'ganking' if you get what I mean - which is the reason why I disabled it. ;)
Other than that cheers for a great addon and keep the good work up! :)
how about generalizing it a bit more? let people add targets they want instead of just whoever they happen to mouse over or target. so maybe if there's a particularly effective healer you want to keep tabs on for cc'ing, you've got him quickly available. and i realize it's beyond the scope of the addon, but you could also use this functionality in instances where you could add the current encounter targets just so you can quickly change targets as needed.
plus, you'd also be able to go out and tune your proximo settings on random mobs. nothing quite as annoying as hitting your proximo button thinking it's gonna cast a sheep and nothing happens cuz you have a typo.
Grayhoof - amazing updates, please take pride in the Use in BGs option, it's exactly what I was looking for in this module beyond arenas. I'm loving it (I'm a cc/dps class, so managing multiple targets at flags is a must!)!

Grayhoof - quick suggestion to make the BG portion outstanding (imo).
(1) have the class/buff icon fade or put an X through or something to indicate out of range. That way, when I have 5 people around me and I've put them into the addon, i can monitor them all + know if I can hit/cc/interrupt them.

I just have a little request for this wonderful addon : is it possible to show debuff (my dots) beside the frames ? It will be so usefull to know at every moment if all my dots are up.
it'd be nice if there was some way to id targets in some fashion. i know you can't use raid icons in arenas, but if you could stick em on the proximo frame, that'd be handy.
what would make this even handier would be to generate macros based on those designations. so you could have a cc macro set up for your cc target. i realize once combat starts you can't really change macros, so it'd really only be useful as a pre-combat gameplan, but i think it'd be nice.
also, sort of along the same lines, would be the ability to re-arrange the targets in the proximo list. this would be a different way to prioritize targets.

Funny thing is that, as a BG healer, I am constantly struggling with healing lists. I don't particularly care for Healbot - it's too big - and love the interface for Proximo. I think that as a healer, it would be awesome to be able to manually Reset the frame (hotkey 1) and then start collecting with a filter (get everyone, only warriors, only rogues, etc) to a preset number of targets within range (5-10) (hotkey 2). That way I am not trying to a) use raid frames that don't give me enough range info or b) try to ctrl-v and then target those as they fade in and out.
I am not a LUA programmer, but I think this is so powerful a BG healer concept that I was going to ask your permission to modify Proximo to satisfy this.
Could anyone please tell me if there is any way to target (or even focus) a target via proximo via command line?
I've been beating my head against my desk trying to figure this out.
What I want to do is set up 2 macros like this
/focus
/tar [target=prox_enemy1]
and
/focus
/tar [target=prox_enemy2]
or even
/tar [target=focus]
/focus [target=prox_enemy1]
and
/tar [target=focus]
/focus [target=prox_enemy2]
Allowing me to swap between 2 targets in 2s without tabbing, and always have the other one up on my focus (for obvious reasons).
Any insight would be -greatly- appreciated.
proximo has support for like 5 buttons. you can keybind them even if you don't have a 5-button mouse. you can then use the macro scheme inside of proximo to do just what you're asking for. i think.
optionally, i do believe you can call keybinds from macros, but i forget the syntax.

Curse Premiumembeds.xml
libs\LibStub\LibStub.lua
libs\TalentGuess-1.0\TalentGuess-1.0.xml
I don't see any issues with TalentGuess-1.0 in regards to LibStub, this just appears to be an issue with how files.wowace.com works.
Error: Cannot find a library instance of "TalentGuess-1.0".
File: Interface\AddOns\Proximo\Proximo.lua
Line: 4
Count: 1
Any help on what i should do ?

You can't do that with the current WoW API.

Can you fix bug with hunt and pet ?
