patch 2.0 and pvplog

by **riverman** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 4:39 pm

anyone knows if pvplog is still working on patch 2.0? i guess not, because of the ui changes... is there anything i can do, to make it work?

I'm in the process of taking over development of PvPLog. I'll be working on a 2.0 version in the next few days and hopefully will have the ability to distribute it in the same timeframe.

Regards,

Brad

For those of you eagerly awaiting a version of PvPLog for version 2 I have some really bad news...

While I was able to get PvPLog to load on 2.0.1 it will not work. Addons can no longer use any of the targeting calls that were the very heart and soul of PvPLog. Without being able to target, PvPLog can't gather all the information it needed to build a database.

I am not declaring defeat but this is a major setback. It will take me a while to figure out if there's any replacements for the missing functionality or if I can come up with a restricted version that requires human targeting.

Sorry,

Brad

Bon jour a tous

Voila cela fait un bon moment que j’utilise quelque un de vos addons
En particulier pvplog
J’ai cru comprendre qu’il y avait des complication quand a la MAJ de cet addons
Et qu’il est possible qu’il y est des restrictions
Je voudrai donc savoir quel genre de restriction il y aura
Merci d’avance

Je vous pris de m’excuser mais je ne parle pas l’anglais

Can we rely on informations in combat log only ?

Or catch informations when enemy is targeted, store it in memory for using it when the player or the enemy dies ?

Quand j'ai été capable de faire charger PvPLog sur la version 2.0.1 (note de traduction : version de world of warcraft), celà n'a pas marché. Les AddOns ne peuvent plus utiliser dorénavant aucunes des fonctions de ciblage qui étaient le coeur et l'âme de PvPLog (note de traduction : comprendre par là que ces fonctions sont profondémment imbriquées tout au long du code de PvPLog). Sans la possibilité de cibler, PvPLog ne peut pas réunir toutes les informations dont il a besoin pour constituer sa base de données.

Je ne déclare pas forfait mais c'est un revers cuisant. Cela me prendra du temps pour trouver s'il y a un remplacement à ces fonctionalités manquantes, ou si je sortirais une version bridée qui requiert un ciblage manuel.

Désolé

Might I suggest this add-on for ideas on how to handle an updated PvPLog to take a look at the add-on called Radar, which shows nearby horde/alliance players (depending on your faction of course)

http://wow.curse-gaming.com/en/files/de ... ar-berean/

Make note of the comments below, especially the one by karrd (4th comment down).

Also you may have a look at Titan Aggro (or other aggro mods), aswell:

Hoping for an update soon, as I'm not PvP'ing till this add-on is available once again

Thank you everyone for the support and pointers. I'm researching all of them along with some of my own ideas.

The way PvPLog used to work was that it picked up enemies that were doing you damage from the combat log and then it targeted them automatically to gather information on them like their race, class, level, guild, rank, etc.

Automatic targeting has been eliminated in the latest version of WoW (2.0.1+). Also major restrictions exist when you are in combat. What's missing is a function to gather information on a name without targeting them that can be called in combat.

I'll keep researching because I also want to get this working again! Its just going to take some time.

Regards,

Brad

oke gj m8
thnx for trying

by **gorgeth** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 8:36 am

We never needed THAT autotarget bit.. all we really need is to cap the info when the player does the manual targeting

Over time serious pvp players will have targeted most if not all enemies that have done damage to them.. sure it won't be as fast but it will work.

I was able to get pvplog to work somewhat.

If you change the pvplog.toc to 20000 instead of 11200 it will be 'compatible' and this is what happened during my testing...

You are unable to move the pvplog minimap button: you get this error:

modsettings myminimapbutton.lua 260

And then the targeting error when you die:
target by name pvplog.lua 284

Those are the only two errors that I experienced.

The menu functioned perfectly. Including sending text to the right channel to display kills / deaths.

Kills were saved but deaths were not due to the 'target by name' error.

I was able to successfully upload my stats to my guild's roster, again, only kills were recorded, not deaths.

If I find anything else, I'll let you know but I'm sure you were already aware of this.
