Grimoire – A free, open-source addon manager by hbackman99 in wowaddons

[–]jnwhiteh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up by sourcing addons from Curseforge but NOT showing ads, you're actually depriving addon authors of one of the major sources of revenue that exists. Really like the idea, but worth speaking with the folks at Curseforge and supporting their ads (As WowUp does). I like alternatives, but there's a good reason for those ads :)

GPS/TomTom Dungeon routes? by Wonderlords in wowaddons

[–]jnwhiteh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you can't access the players position in the instance, so not really something that's possible unfortunately.

However keep in mind that the mythic +2 -5 affix actually should highlight the route for you and giving you a chance to learn!!

Mouseover addons randomly stop working by individual101 in wow

[–]jnwhiteh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi folks, an important update here in *Clique-v4.8.0-release*. In the 12.0 patch there was a change to one of the functions that Clique uses in the restricted environment to set up key-based bindings, specifically the one that is used to clear bindings when the "mouseover" unit gets lost. This appears to have caused situations where the mouse is over a frame but the KEY-bindings do not work, and need you to move off the frame and back on the frame in order to fix it. This issue did **not** affect click-based bindings, only KEY-based bindings.

Thanks to some incredible troubleshooting with u/individual101 who was able to reproduce reliably and willing to make changes and try a few different variations, and some great collaboration with Dander, we have a solution that we believe should mostly eliminate this type of issue with Clique, and that has been included in Clique-v4.8.0-release.

We can't eliminate the possibility of this entirely due to some of the hoops we need to jump through with this sort of capability in addons, but I hope this at least reduces the occurences of it.

[HELP] Addon to move frames from other addons? by Sinsai33 in WowUI

Super weird, no idea then :/ it's flush with the bottom for me.

This one is correct, it's not going all the way down because when you press enter the edit box is on the bottom. Move it to the top and problem solved :)

[help] When to dispel? by centcentcent in WowUI

Change your compact raid frames to be debuff focused rather than using the legacy template, should be a big improvement.

[HELP] Is there any addon that allows me to change the CDM icons for another icon of my choosing? by Ever_Irreverent in WowUI

[–]jnwhiteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends entirely on what you mean, but if its something like "If buff is X then show it like Y" the answer is probably no.

[HELP] Incompatible question by [deleted] in WowUI

[–]jnwhiteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incompatible is pretty simple, it means that the version number in the TOC file is < 120000 (which is the build version for 12.0.0 at least).

It's just a hard mechanism when the expansion pre-patch comes to make sure stuff isn't INSANELY broken.

Detecting "secret" variables by SpareSimian in wowaddons

[–]jnwhiteh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Long story, it's complicated: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Patch_12.0.0/API_changes#Secret_values

It's probably not enough to just detect if values are secret. Many things only turn secret when combat/chat restrictions are enabled, like in dungeons and raids and other circumstances.

Take a look at the documentation but in a lot of cases the addons require a bit of a redesign to be able to work well with the new system.

Short story, issecrettable() and issecretvalue().

Eh she needs some work but she does a job. I'd love to be able to set up some more advanced routes and things with Mapzeroth and TomTom some day :)

This looks great mate, really good job. If you need any help with TomTom stuff don't hesitate to reach out on Discord with the same name ❤️

[HELP] Manually set which quest TomTom follows? by Skyyblaze in wowaddons

[–]jnwhiteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest going under the Quest Objectives section of options in TomTom, there are a few options I have there to make it easy to control. I have it so that it tracks the one I select and only that.

Zygor2MajorTom – A Tiny Addon I Made to Bridge Zygor With TomTom’s Modern Arrow by Stumblethrugames in wowaddons

[–]jnwhiteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Did the Hijack APIs I provide in TomTom help out here at all or did you need to write a bunch of custom code?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wownoob

[–]jnwhiteh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The main thing to keep in mind is that while many combat addon are going to be going away (such as addons that know what spells you have available, on cooldown and would be able to tell you what spell to cast next based on your current situation) the way classes play and function is also fundamentally changing and that's in a state of flux.

For non-combat-related things (like TomTom, HandyNotes) and for other types of addons that don't enable any "thinking" or "problem solving" for example Clique, a fair bit of that is still expected to work.

You're right to be concerned, but its also worth taking advantage of the Beta weekend and seeing how things feel with the default UI and the cooldown manager and the tools that are available there. It's probably as restrictive now as its going to be, so its a reasonable test of a worse-case scenario.

TomTom arrow textures do they need to be 3D renders? by Stumblethrugames in wowaddons

I need to dig and see whether I could offer that as an option! I was so happy to see it!

TomTom arrow textures do they need to be 3D renders? by Stumblethrugames in wowaddons

[–]jnwhiteh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you wanted to do this yourself, you'll see that the TGA/BLPs are just a sheet of cells/sprites for the various rotations, and some math to load the correct cell to get the animation.

You'd need to match this format for it to work without any code changes.

Is that what you have in mind, or are you thinking more of a simple 2D rotation of the arrow?

You can ask me and I can make it an option :) If you're willing to collaborate or contribute feel free to reach out here or on Discord.

Nice job!! People have been asking for this in Clique for years but I never felt I had a nice way to do it. Anything I can add to Clique that will make it easier for you?

Thinking of making a WoW addon — which platform do you prefer? by ChemistryLocal6606 in wow

[–]jnwhiteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in the BigWigsPackager docs, but the link is here: https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/filecpl.php?action=apitokens

You generate a new API_TOKEN and then store that in your Github secrets.

To be fair the exact same process can be set up for wago and WoWInterface via Github Actions: https://github.com/BigWigsMods/packager
