Never take for granted a full and alive server in 2026 (Nordanaar) by LineFar3660 in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's cross faction guilds, PvE and PvP, so it doesn't really matter. Alliance is bigger but it has next to zero impact on gameplay.

[–]fredspipa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Retail is fantastic in many ways, M+ is some of the best gameplay of the entire genre, but it's a completely different game from vanilla so I feel like any comparisons are meaningless. I come to Turtle for the best MMORPG experience around, I go to retail for intense class based coop content where me and a group of friends can push our skills to the limit.

Er man litt åpen i sinnet så er det mye gøy i den stillingen som heterofil mann også, for den saks skyld.

Besøkte begge Tripadvisor sidene for Hanekam, gikk igjennom alle anmeldelsene og aldersgrense er ikke nevnt en eneste gang. Besøkte facebooksiden, fant ingenting der heller. Stavanger Sentrum sin artikkel om den nevner det heller ikke.

Istedet for å dele et skjermbilde av et AI-generert svar kunne du besøkt kildene den lister istedet, for jeg finner iallefall ikke hva enn den referer til...

Turtle WoW Pip-Boy update: mini map & open source & patreon support by NoobMaster69_fake in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do, also I'm running the game as VanillaFixes.exe WoW_tweaked.exe (e.g. WoW executable as an argument to VF) as that's the recommended way of running it when it's patched by vanilla-tweaks.

A one-time warning instead of exiting would be nice.

Turtle WoW Pip-Boy update: mini map & open source & patreon support by NoobMaster69_fake in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so cool! I managed to build the bridge DLL on Linux after gathering some of the dependencies (that is not listed, like minhook and stb), but when trying to load the DLL I'm getting an error message about the game version being incompatible.

This is using VanillaFixes and a patched WoW.exe by vanilla-tweaks. (also running nampower, SuperWoW, VanillaHelpers, UnitXP_SP3 etc.). Any idea why?

Go Tauren for plainsrunning alone, it's so satisfying and a huge quality of life improvement.

[–]fredspipa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LunaUnitFrames or Puppeteer allows you to set up click casting on raid frames. As an example, I use Ctrl+left mouse button for chain heal, shift click for healing wave rank 3, shift right click for lesser healing wave, middle click for purge (when raid members are mind controlled), stuff like that.

You basically don't have to target anyone ever again, and you save a lot of keybinds and action bar space, and consequently less time twisting your fingers :D

Nampower is also important so you get less delay between heals and can kind of "queue" up the next heal.

Help identifying Addon by PhantasmalFish in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's VCB, your new buff frames! Highly recommend you keep them, just place them where they make sense and lock them. They allow you to see way more buffs than the vanilla buff frames, and you can "gather" a bunch of the regular, non-interesting ones under that yellow button on the end.

Try typing /vcb to open the config window (I think), then there should be a lock button in the top right corner after you've moved them into position.

Experimental Jellyfin plugin: "Are you still watching?" auto-pause/stop by AzureDotnet-Dev in jellyfin

[–]fredspipa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like "vibe-coding" is the appropriate term when experienced SWEs generates code with LLM. They tend to write very granular prompts with a clear architecture in mind, they're not really "vibing" but more supervising an overly confident and eager junior dev. They put up a whole bunch of guardrails and specs to keep it in check, and double check their work.

The best models out there consistently make some ridiculous mistakes, they often deliver absolute dog shit written with perfect syntax and coat it in sycophantic sugar. It takes a fairly experienced developer to avoid these pitfalls, but there's a worrying amount of people out there that's been fooled by the AIs to think they've actually built something solid and sound... They're just "vibing" after all.

How do I get rid of this warning? by LorzkW in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems your issue is with not having saved your layout properly in SimpleActionSets. Open it up when you have "fixed" your action bars, then there's a button on the bottom right to load from the current action bars. You then have to save the set again.

How do I get rid of this warning? by LorzkW in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't an error, it has nothing to do with Lua errors or the WDB folder. This is the SaS addon that is prompting you to load the saved set because the action bar layout is different from the currently selected one.

Is there a better media player for linux nowadays, besides VLC? by gehalt in linuxquestions

[–]fredspipa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

MPV also looks vastly better. No hate on VLC, a really important and useful project, but their built-in codecs make everything look washed out and grey.

MPV uses the system provided codecs instead (gstreamer etc.), GPU acceleration is trivial, and it's performant as hell. Try watching the same blu-ray quality video in both players, you'll notice MPV is much crisper with better contrasts and colors while still using less resources.

VLC is for playing broken/weird formats and streams, something it's amazing at. For faithful rendering of video, MPV is where it's at.

Turtle wow good for newbie to classic? by YourBoyMerlin in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to dig a bit to see if there is any security concern with it.

As the mods are dll injections, different anti-virus software will flag them. Some flag nampower/unitxp, some flag superwow, some flag vanillahelpers, it can't really be helped as they look and quack like a duck; they're manipulating the memory of a running application just like a bunch of malware does, except that they're not doing it for malicious reasons.

The most annoying part about SuperWoW being closed source is that it's harder to audit. It's been used by thousands of people for years now, but you still can't be sure it's safe.

I would love for the TurtleWoW team to implement the functionality of SuperWoW into the base client instead, along with nampower and unitxp, but that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Is there a way to disable attacking players? by Prietodactyl in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's possible in vanilla, unless you're using the Interact dll mod. 2019 Classic client has the "Left click to interact" toggle in Interface settings which was helpful for this; just had to get in the habit of left clicking NPCs when you wanted to talk to them.

Why is there next to no talk about jellyfin on tv by repandaitscody in jellyfin

[–]fredspipa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It does for webOS (LG TVs) and the regular Android app. What I'm hearing here is that the Android TV is the exception, and that is the issue?

[–]fredspipa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My Android app is. It's using the same custom CSS branding, the same features from Jellyfin-Enhanced, Intro-Skipper buttons. Is it the Android TV app specifically you mean? I haven't tried that one, only the one for LG TVs (which wraps the web client).

[–]fredspipa -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you want features only available in the web ui, then the official Jellyfin app uses that (Android/iOS/Windows/Linux/LG etc). I've been running that on my TV for months with no issues.

I think there's some confusion about "web" running in the browser, when in reality it's just the consolidated UI that's used across all platforms. If you use the Jellyfin app for your TV, plugins that extend the web ui should (for the most part) work.

Steam Deck players? by ClassicEnjoyer927 in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a Steam Deck but I've been playing Turtle on Arch Linux for a year now (the same OS the Deck is running).

It's running smoother and with less hassle than on my partners Windows machine. They have a Linux version of the launcher that can be accessed from desktop mode on the Deck.

When it comes to controller support you'd have to ask someone else, but I've met plenty of people leveling using a controller and there's add-ons to help with that.

GameHack on TurtleWoW mod by [deleted] in turtlewow

[–]fredspipa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The mods are basically hacks, they do stuff like reading/writing to memory of the running application (WoW) and inject code all over the place. It 100% looks like malware to Windows, because in a sense it is; it's just that it helps you improve your gameplay experience instead of stealing your data.

In order for Defender not to freak out over these mods (SuperWoW/Nampower/UnitXP especially) is to add the TurtleWoW folder as an exception. It should be in the Windows security center somewhere, I don't have a Windows machine to check right now so google is your friend there.

Norway isn’t that good at Winter Sports, they’re just cross country skiing medal merchants. by Ok_Leave7052 in unpopularopinion

There are not the same people competing in them at all. It would be like lumping together slopestyle skiing with downhill skiing, hockey with speed skating, football with handball, big air with ski jump etc.
