  17. Suppress auto-hide in WorldEvents if the current step is in a dungeon, Ludo
  18. Add ';' step support to dailies module, Ludo

I have noticed that the loot counts are sometimes off a little. The problem is the event that indicates that a loot has occurred and the message that the server send the client to put something in your bag are not synchronized. It is known how to fix this, but the fix is NOT ready yet. Just keep an eye on it.

While the current guides are pretty good, we will be working constantly to improve and update these guides. Remember that if you notice a bug, you can help us by reporting it!

If you have trouble getting our addon to work, please check our "Troubleshooting Page" first. If you still need help, you can always stop by our "Friendly Chat Room"!

Delay for 2.2.1

Submitted by Ludovicus Maior on Thu, 2012-02-02 16:10.

I've punted for a few days on 2.2.1, as I have discovered a few bugs in the dalies module while trying the "Shattered Sun Offensive" guide that Twists started and that I merged with my own.

Some of the steps are not auto-completing properly and some of the quest accepts seem to not get registered.

Something odd is going on.

2.2.1 Preview

Submitted by Ludovicus Maior on Fri, 2012-02-03 12:19.

Github has my 2.2.1 preview.

It has three changes of note:

  1. A merged Shattered Sun guide
  2. The Ace Bucket library is now included
  3. I use Buckets to aggregate the loot related events and delay 0.333 seconds before looking at the bags for loots.This should get the loot counts perfect on the Dalies module.   If it works, I make the same change everywhere

BTW, there may be a performance problem with the Acheivements module and the processing of CRITERIA_UPDATE messages.

2.2.1 Preview

So far, theloot count fix has corrected all the problems with the Shattered Sun Guide.

I did discover and fix a few problems with the Dailies resetting logic.

Now onto writing a draft Love is in the Air guide.

Performance Problems

Submitted by Twists on Fri, 2012-02-03 16:14.

I will look into it this weekend and see if I can see anything in code causing it.

Acheivement Performance Enhancement

Submitted by Ludovicus Maior on Fri, 2012-02-03 20:00.

Take a look at WoWPro_Dalies.lua in the GIT trunk and see the new thing:

bucket:RegisterBucketEvent({"CHAT_MSG_LOOT", "BAG_UPDATE"}, 0.333, WoWPro.Dailies.AutoCompleteLoot)

That causes CHAT_MSG_LOOT and BAG_UPDATE messages to be collected until 1/3 of a second has passed with no updates and then it calls WoWPro.Dailies.AutoCompleteLoot.

If you change the event processing for CRITERIA_UPDATE (which gets issued ALOT) to not call WoWPro:UpdateGuide() on every message but only after a delay, it may fix things.  UpdateGuide is kinda expensive. Maybe:

bucket:RegisterBucketEvent("CRITERIA_UPDATE", 0.333,  function (events) WoWPro:UpdateGuide(); end)

would do the trick

If I click on the DL-Link on

Submitted by Estelyen on Mon, 2012-01-30 10:25.

If I click on the DL-Link on this page it downloads v2.2.0B :P Not sure if it's just a typo in the archives name or if you forgot to update the link ;)

  1. The correct neutral Sholazar Basin is now active

  3. WorldEvents lets you go into an instance without turning itself off if the step is in an instance!
  4. The addons now remember your current guide even when you click it off and on again
  5. Little teaks to the Alliance Lunar Festival Guide

Multiple item IDs for single quest

Submitted by Crackerhead22 on Sat, 2012-01-21 00:56.

Was doing "Apply Heat and Stir" and relized that there were multiple Item IDs that were used in the quest.

The initial was 34023, then it went to 33615, then if it failed it would go to 33614.   So not sure about how to go about that.

Nonlinear Heating and stirring

Submitted by Ludovicus Maior on Sat, 2012-01-21 04:12.

Hmm, you would want the first step to terminate for EITHER 33615 or 33614 and then have separate steps depending on which.

No, that would be a mess.   It would be easier to have a U tag that took a list and gave you whichever was in your inventory.

a |U|33615;33614|  form.   Let me see if I can code that up.

Um, I think you forgot to put

Submitted by Crackerhead22 on Fri, 2012-01-20 22:18.

Um, I think you forgot to put the fix for the auto-accept/turn-in for the Leveling module.  I saw it in the others, just not the leveling one.

Oh, Mxyzptlk

Submitted by Ludovicus Maior on Sat, 2012-01-21 04:15.

I have no idea how I messed that up.  I'll put up a revamp tomorrow when I get tired of shoveling.

 

—Ludovicus Maior

You forgot that too!

Submitted by AkaSmiley on Mon, 2012-01-23 06:13.

It seems that you forgot to put <Script file="LunarFestival.lua"/> for horde side too :/

Fixed in 2.2.0A

Submitted by Ludovicus Maior on Sun, 2012-01-22 18:39.

Fixed three bugs in 2.2.0 in the update:

  1. The quest handling in the Dalies module (thanks Estelyen)
  2. The auto quest selection in the leveling module (thanks Crackerhead22)
  3. A bogus version number in the Acheivements module (thanks )

Depending on how much is changed in the Lunar Festival, we will update.

Ok, I added in the REP tags

Submitted by Crackerhead22 on Fri, 2012-01-20 21:17.

Ok, I added in the REP tags for the Nagrand quests for The Consortium on the certain quests.  I hope I did it right.

|REP|The Consortium;933;Neutral|

That is what I put.

If you meant ONLY neutral ...

Submitted by Ludovicus Maior on Fri, 2012-01-20 22:01.

If you meant ONLY neutral then that is OK.  If you meant neutral to exalted, then you need neutral-exalted.....

Yes, since those quests are

Submitted by Crackerhead22 on Fri, 2012-01-20 22:17.

Yes, since those quests are not available once you hit Friendly.  "Head Full of Ivory" and "Stealing from Thieves" quests.
