I can't find the EnchantingSell page here on ace so I'm posting the bug here:
I get the cannot find Auction-1.0 library when wow starts. I'm using StandAloneLibraries and checking it with the wowupdater indeed Auction-1.0 lib is not installed automatically in the addons folder. Is it a dependency problem with EnchantingSell or a StandAloneLibraries problem?
Dunno if this is the right spot to post a feature request, but could somebody develop a module that turns the casting bar red when out of range? My bars turn red so I assume it's possible, thanks.
How can you have a casting bar since you are out of range?
Any progress on adding a time indication on Swing bars?
Ok I think we're going a little bit too far now. What I was thinking is to rate the player's ability not specific characteristics like how helpful he is and so on. A simple arithmetic value like 7.5 or 3 or 1 out of 10. The rest seem interesting but for starters I think point rating should be enough.
As for ppl that don't want to be rated if I use a comm channel instead of a local db then if they don't have the addon they won't have a rating. See above: "...each player stores its own rating...". Plus I don't think it's fair that someone could only see other ppl's ratings without having one which denies the option to have/have not a rating with the addon in use.
I need some help on deciding whether it should db based or comm. Some comm is going to be necessary and I know that db causes high loading times and mem use. My guess would be comm. Each players stores its own rating and others can query it. Instead of specific flags i would use an arithmetic rating like 6/10 and so on but your suggestion for extra rating seems cool :).
The rationale for more influential recent ratings is that a player might get de-noobed or have a better attiture ;)
I have an idea for an addon and I'm eager to start programming it but I would like to know what you think of that first and listen to any suggestions that you have to say.
I'm thinking of an addon where you can rank how good a player is. So every player has a ranking which you could see in the player's tooltip and be "warned" of bad players, ninjas and so on and take your measures (be more careful, try to give helpful tips, don't group if you are in a hurry etc.) or know about good players that could help you. This is the basic idea.
Abuse is a keyword in the wow world so those are my thoughts on how to prevent abuse and make this addon really useful:
1) something similar to google's pageranking meaning that the more you are ranked the more your opinion is valued: i.e. you have a 10/10 rank and rank a players as 8 then this players is gonna get an 8 rating from you averaged with his previous rating, you have a 5/10 rank and rate 8 a player then 5/10 would be your weight in the average calculated for the other player.
2) you can rate players only if you party with them, so no alts rating
3) oldest ratings count less than more recent ones, i.e. current_rating=(1-a)*old_rating + a*new_rating where a>0.5 (this is similar to TCP's RTT estimation)
Never programmed ace or lua before but I think it's a good starting project. Have vast experience with C/C++, Java , TCL programming with a specialization in distributed systems, I think I can pull it off. Plus I would like developers to know that I am avalaible to be part of any project team so pm me, I really would like to get involved
the crap monster! seriously orion's idea doesn't seem illogical, plus coming to conclusions based solely on your personal xp is very dangerous added to the fact that someone quotes 10+ lines to reply a useless one line comment referring to the one and only topic post just above.
It surprises me how little wow uses. I used to play it at school through a putty ssh tunnel to home and it would play fine (while you couldnt even stream webradio right there)
How did you that? putty can't forward screen output
