Thanks heaps, Zaphon. I've fixed it in my internal branch, and I'll push out a new beta soon. The annoying thing is that in other places where I've used strfind(), I've gone and thrown in the extra parameter already. Seems I just forgot here. :P

I discovered that the LFG_COMPLETION_REWARD event only happens for random dungeons, so that test is now much simpler. I had incorrectly assumed that Luck of the Draw had to be present, but that's only true if you have random members, not necessarily in a random dungeon.

I'm also very glad I hadn't coded in anything regarding the number of dungeon rewards, since Blizzard's new little "incentive" for Oculus might have been confusing.

Running into a new problem with GetQuestResetTime(). It reports the remaining time relative to the server time. This is a problem for Oceanic players, and probably for others. Need some time to figure out how to get the difference between local and server time.

The actual daily random expiry would look something like:
expiry = time() + GetQuestResetTime() + (server - local)

That is the time in seconds left till daily quest reset to that specific server. However if your trying to display the time left till reset in local time that's different.

Well, it's been a long time since you guys had an update. I've actually stopped playing WoW some time ago. While I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I miss the folks I used to group with, I am also enjoying real-life and at this stage I am fairly confident that I won't be back for Cataclysm.

What this means is that SavedInstances is looking for a new owner. The code is a little ugly, and there's definitely tonnes of room for optimization (particularly with my unnecessary use of temporary tables). There might be a few WoW4-compliance issues when that hits your Patch Downloaders too.

I know that starting a project from scratch is much easier than maintaining an old one, but if you are still playing WoW, really like this addon, and don't want it to become "abandoned", then please let me know. :) It's been a pleasure.

Hi all!!!

I've taken over as the maintainer of SavedInstances. It's fully functional under wow 4.2 and I'm working on adding some useful new features. Please help spread the word that SavedInstances is back and make this addon popular again!

SavedInstances v4.2.7 includes:

* Tracking of Justice points and Valor points for all your toons - including current balance, weekly limits and total limits
* Optional tracking of Honor Points and Conquest Points
* Tracking of LFD and dungeon deserter cooldown for all your toons - shows how long until you can re-queue

That's great news for me... i just gutted the LFG and BG tracking in my own addon SickOfClickingDailies because these things have turned into a beast now & no longer have ANYTHING to do with quests ( like they once did ). This saves me the time of writing another addon that tracks this stuff :)

I'll be sure to refer all the requests for this stuff in SickOfClickingDailies onto your addon :)

Awesome - thanks!

SavedInstances v4.3.4 adds tracking of LFR status for all your toons, listing which bosses they've defeated/looted that week.

SavedInstances v4.3.8 includes:

• NEW FEATURE (experimental): Tracking for the 5 instance per hour limit. Addon will now print informative messages when you approach/exceed the instance limit that Blizzard enforces. Mouse-over the addon name in the broker display to see your account's instance history. This feature uses heuristic detection and hence may occasionally be inaccurate (notably when another player has lead and performs explicit resets), but does a reasonable job for common cases.
• NEW FEATURE: instances and characters may now be shown always, hidden always, or shown only when saved (the default)
• NEW FEATURE: show some simple character info when mousing over a character name in the broker display
• Add an option to show server name in tooltips
• Reworked instance/character config screens
• Update currencies on logout to reflect purchases

I like this addon. I use LUI and I really don't want to add a broker type plugin or have an icon on my minimap. If it is possible could you please make it so I can assign a hotkey or let me know what to type so I can hot key it myself?

Thanks

Recent versions of SavedInstances include a hotkey in the keybindings menu to toggle display of a detached window.

Quote from DrSnuggles

would it be possible to add sth that you can tell if a toon has killed sha/galleon this loockout?

Recent versions of SavedInstances include tracking of world boss kills, including Sha, Galleon, Nalak and Oondasta.
