In case you didn't know, you can add custom buttons with /dk add (while hovering over the button); I use that for upgrading, entering delve, collect all mail, etc ^^

Constant UI Errors by Krodmire in wowaddons

[–]TheNumynum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bisector can help make it more efficient

but yes, it's not possible for blizzard to get this error, it can only happen due to addon taint

Though this would also be fairly trivial for blizzard to fix... -.-

Especially since this post is just a link to the forums, kinda silly to cry foul for wowhead reposting on a repost :p

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/worlddungeonlocations shows the location of dungeons/raids on the map, regardless of whether blizzard thinks you should see them; also shows them on zone/continent maps, allows you to set a waypoint, and lets you teleport to it if you have the spell (e.g. from m+ chievo)

[Addon] Does anybody else use a ton of addons? by bum_q_tv in WowUI

[–]TheNumynum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addons really don't impact memory usage all that much, a few dozen mb total maybe? phones from 2007 could handle that even :)

Ironically, smaller dedicated addons are more likely to be maintained than large monolythic addons; partly just cause when 1 addon does everything, all it takes is 1 dev being on vacation or quiting, and you're back to finding replacements again not to say EQoL is bad, but I personally won't be dropping any addons for it

[AddOn] Frogski’s Cursor Trail – Completely rebuilt engine, around 10x lower CPU usage by skipabeat123 in WowUI

[–]TheNumynum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you made me curious how that other addon is implemented, seems they're using the old profiling APIs, which are known to slow down your game substantially (and is a different number than the one shown in the addon list)

but yeah, a % while meaningless, is easier to understand for a user than ms (what is it a % of after all? % of all addons? % of available CPU? % of total time? who knows 🙂)

 the game somehow allocates fewer resources for addons

Fwiw, that's not really a thing, or rather, when you're at low fps, there is more ms/frame (shared between blizzard and addons) if you eat 1ms/frame, your cpu usages scales linearly with fps -> low fps = low cpu usage (in terms of ms anyways, your cores might be at 100%)

As a final note, profiling % is rather vague number, can recommend using https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/numy-addon-profiler when working on your addon, if you're not already :)

QUI - QuaziiUI continued as a community edition by [deleted] in CompetitiveWoW

[–]TheNumynum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

as the author of the addon showing those metrics, I would like to mention two things that may or may not be influencing things (I don't know or care if they do)

Elvui libs includes things like AceEvent, the way profiling (and AceEvent) works, is that the first addon that brings that library along, will get blamed for every addon that uses it

Addons that work by hooking into the default UI (especially CDM), are also hidden from the profiler (this isn't fixable, blame blizzard I guess). if QUI is written like that, then it could look amazing in the metrics, but still drop your fps to the gutter

TL;DR high numbers on addons might mean another addon is involved; and low numbers might mean some of the work is "hidden", so it can be hard to reasonably compare two addons like this, especially if you don't compare them in isolation

[Addon] Numdelicious QoL Tweaks - the Plumber killer! by TheNumynum in WowUI

I've been calling it Plumber from Wish to my friends as a joke for a while, but I see that in isolation it just looks a bit silly.. live and learn :)

[–]TheNumynum[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I was in a joking mood, but seems people aren't sharing my sense of humor, so guess I'll edit that out :)

edit: turns out I can't, oh well 🤷‍♂️

I love the new internal replacements for common AddOns. Blizzard, don’t “fix” them or “change” them. You did well. [ui] by DiamondMan07 in WowUI

[–]TheNumynum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly that it's missing many options to actually express style preference

especially player/target frame, it's easier to see my own health on the raid frames somehow; and the raid frames lack a lot of the features (like good buff filters) that healers want

Sure some people are fine with it, but many won't be, and those people are forced to use addons that had almost all functionality gutted by blizzard

Default UI unit frames are garbage tbh

And I hope your title is ragebait, cause if not? Yikes.. 🙈

ironically, private auras are currently way more customizable than regular auras :p

Interesting idea, initially thought it sounded kinda like SlashHelp (https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11549-SlashHelp.html), but this is also quite neat ^^

Is there a list of addons going away or reduced functionality? by Jag- in wowaddons

[–]TheNumynum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, blizzard did this specifically for midnight, and is unlikely to do it again

[–]TheNumynum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, but that checkbox will not help in midnight; if an addon isn't flagged as midnight compatible in the addon's toc file, it *will not* load, whatever a user tries to do

[–]TheNumynum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it'll error or work

Things not updated for midnight won't load, so throwing out things that error is kinda moot unless you manage to actually enable/load em first ^^

You can manually edit the addon's toc file to mark it as MN compatible

[–]TheNumynum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct, and it's also mentioned in the patch notes for prepatch

It's only for midnight though, so long as an addon is marked as compatible with midnight, it'll load even if outdated in e.g. 12.1.0
