a few addons to think about

  • #1

    i'm not well versed in scripting otherwise i would do it myself, but could someone work on map and auction house addons. I really liked MobMap and Auctioneer from WoW (until the game became entirly directed at 10 year olds).

    As soon as ZorbaTHut gives us the APIs to access the map and auction house, I am sure people will write addons. Neither is mentioned in the patch 1.6 notes; therefore they will come later.

    Personally wondering if anyone can make a threat meter by chance?

    People are trying, but it is guesswork right now, and some Warlord talents aren't necessarily straightforward. It will be better when/if Trion releases the threat APIs, but even if they do, there is no mention as of patch 1.6. There is a lot of other fundamental things that need to be either fixed or introduced first.

    Definitely love Runecraft Helper and SimpleMeter is pretty cool.  I'd love a better tool tip like TipTac in WoW.

    Appreciate everyone's hard work though making AddoOns!

    I went digging through the current API to see what kind of start can be made on a threat meter. There are several missing pieces of information, including:

    • Getting the Vitality stat for Warriors. Many of the threat building abilities are modified by the base value of a Warrior's Vitality. We can get Health, MaxHealth, but not Vitality
    • We have no access to the talent system; therefore anything that "causes additional threat" won't be returned, and thus the benefit cannot be added
    • Some procs apparently are very difficult to catch, as they aren't buffs or debuffs
    • The inter-addon communication system is not yet implemented

    Because of the above limitations, and possibly others, the only thing we can do is assume that 1 damage = 1 threat, and 1 healing = 0.5 threat. We can do that now with the existing combat events, but that is a far, far cry from what the values actually are.

    well bummer on the threat meter, hopefully with 1.6 they'll open up a bit more to be able to get one started.

  • #11

    Ya, im not too upset with the lack of addons.  I remember WoW 1.5, they finally got battlegrounds.

    Everyone wants some kind of gathering addon, but at this point, there are no APIs for the world or minimaps. We can't put icons or pips onto the maps, unless we use our own maps, not Rifts. There is an addon that shows puzzles that uses that method.

    If you can't use a Rift map, could a transparent OVERLAY be used?  Like a piece of tape with writing on it on top of the map instead of writing on the map itself?

    Certainly, but would you use as the attatch point? All we have is UIParent; we don't have action bars, unit frames, map, mimimap, quest list, or other frames' names. Another problem is Rift maps behave like Google maps, and therefore the overlay may have scaling issue. Not impossible to deal with, but annoying.

    One thing I'm waiting on is a mail addon, it would be nice to have all my characters names pop up in the "To" box, that way I won't have to worry about missent mail.
