There is no slash command. You can view and change the settings under the Blizzard config UI for AddOns.
I have Toaster installed, but I cant work out how to move the frame, is there a slash command to access toaster?
For some reason my survey distance indicator always shows 0. Does it require tom tom to work or is there another reason.
Do you have it undocked (free floating) or is it attached to the dig site list?
The distance indicator counts distance you travelled from your last successful survey.
If that's not happening, please file a ticket with details (Archy version, language of your wow, any special info like using 64bit wow, if you have TomTom or not etc).
Same for any lua errors if you get.
Issue resolved. I just deleted my saved variables and reinstalled the addon. Thank You.
Great add-on, thanks, very useful. With the latest release I've had a bit of an issue.
I want Tomtom to track my quests as well as do Archaeology, and this never seemed to be a problem before, but now every time I log on, a pop-up tells me quest tracking is incompatible with Archy and wants me to disable it. If I do that it means I have to go back into my Tomtom options when I have finished and switch it back to track quests. Is there some way to stop getting the pop-up all the time?
Archy 1.8.23 (and later if the bug persists) adds an option to the warning dialog to "Ignore" the incompatible TomTom setting at your own risk.
It will not bug you again for the current Archy version.
(Just remember that if Archy does bug out you need to manually uncheck quest automation in TomTom and restart)
Visit Ticket 60 @ TomTom for any progress.
Press "Ignore" instead of "no" and it won't popup again for the current Archy version.
Thanks for the response Dridzt (great character in a great series btw... long time fan). I see the conversation with Cladhaire took place pretty much a month ago, so looking unlikely to be adressed anytime soon. Archy is invaluable and I don't know how I'd have managed without it! I'll just hope for the best and continue to click "no" on login. Keeping the fingers crossed for a solution one day. :)
I just want to say thanks for the addon, thanks for the constant updates and thanks for taking the time to answer comments. You're a real Grade A addon developer.
Hello, I like your addon. Thanks.
But, it may be staring me in the face, is there a way to disable the addon except when required, it seems to slow logging on considerably?
You can uncheck the addon from the addon selection screen before you enter the game for characters that don't have (or you're not interested) Archaeology but if you mean something automatic, no there's no way to disable the addon other than avoid loading for characters that will not use it.
Edit: I want to be clear Archy does not show an increased memory consumption once loaded (not much memory churn, garbage generated once loaded) or cpu usage which is what could affect performance.
In other words it is not a particularly heavy addon once in the game, but it does add some load screen time on initial logon (0.5-0.8 sec of which 0.1-0.2 is for loading Blizzard Archaeology UI).
I am using this addon on two characters. On my main loading never has been a problem, but on the other there's a significant difference. After loading that character the display simply freezes for like 3 seconds. I have yet to find what's causing this, but I experience the same as paulus1.
I had a longer reply posted with some technical details but figured you had read it and wanted to keep the comment space clean so removed it after a couple days.
The number I mention is the time Archy adds on its own, other addons will also cause some delay and it all adds up.
You can use WarmUp to get a more accurate reading on your own system (overall pc performance also plays a part).
After you load with WarmUp enabled do /wu to get a table with all addon details and time added to your load per addon and total.
Thanks, yes I was not worried about its memory usage, it was the load time which, subjectively at least, seemed somewhat longer than your numbers. But you have answered my question. Thanks.
