Curse

ive just targeted 7 rare mobs,  and not a single one was found by RareDar (including AFTER i targeted them myself.. no notification, nothing..)

this addon does not work. i would love for it to work, but it doesnt.

Was pretty good when it first came out. Hasn't been updated in a while and throws errors now

I hope it gets updated soon.

Came across this thread

that list rare spawns and the Coordinates. not sure if it would help or not

stphung - just wanted to give you a shout out and a thanks for working on this.  Perhaps it's not perfect yet, but it is / will be a great addition to the game.  Sometimes, we as commentors can sound kind of harsh.

Thanks again :)

Hi .

how about an ingame On/Off button , a sounds when a rare is found and raremobnames of outher leanguages then US/UK ?

Good app concept but UGGGH for coding.

PLEASE PLEASE since this is likely to be a popular app DON'T make it easy for other careless developers to cause your addon to crash. PLEASE tidy up your code and stop poluting the global variable space.

It really is completely unforgivable to put things like "red = 0.2" in your config.lua file thus putting the variable red into the global variable space. This means that ALL addons see your variable red. It just means your addon is likely to crash if other poorly written addons use the same variable name. Your should have "RareDar.red = 0.2"

The simplest solution is as follows...

At the head of each file put

local RareDar, private = ...

Then prefix your variable names with RareDar. eg: RareDar.all_rares so that way ALL your individual lua files can see your variables and so your code works and is neatly split into separate files. However they won't then leak out into the Global space and risk crashing when someone else's badly written addons also pollutes the global variable space. Thus you prevent other badly written addons from causing your addon to crash.

Once you have tidied up the addon and removed the global namespace polution I have some code I can take from my own addons you can have that will allow you to use the Curse.com localisation system so that your addon works in all the languages Rift runs in. ie: French, German, Russian, Korean as well as English. All without you having to know anything about those languages.

Great suggestion. Those of us who've played other MMOs have experienced this sort of issue with other cool mods. It seems to me that the Rift community is looking out for each other much better to help keep the quality of gameplay as high as possible.

Also, sweet mod. Keep up the good work!
