caelSmartAmmo

Version: 190110 r5

by: Caellian [More]

Discontinued.

DESCRIPTION

As a hunter and since WotLK i often have to switch between arrows/bullets depending on whether i'm on an achievement boss or trashes, switching between engineering ammos or the Timeless stuff.

Having huge memory issues (yeah well a hunter isn't supposed to be smart, is he ?) i keep forgetting to switch back and find myself out of those precious engineering ammos because i wasted them all on trashes.

So, what this addon will do is pretty simple, it will equip you with those engineering ammos once you target a boss, worldboss, and then switch you back automatically to the normal arrows once you're on trashes or anything else.
If you run out of engineering ammos on a boss it will fall back to the normal ammos

Any kind of feedback/bug report is welcome, if more features should be added, i'll see what i can do within the limits of my knowledge.

190110 r5
- Toc update
- It will now change your ammos when zoning in/out of a raid instance instead of when targetting since Blizzard blocked addons trying to switch in combat
- It will now also consider Iceblade arrows and Shatter rounds

120809 r4
- Toc update

1.2
- It will now consider normal arrows aswell (Frostbite Bullets, Terrorshaft Arrows) for those who don't have access to the Timeless stuff
- Added a check so it doesn't force switching ammos on irrelevant targets ie: dead, friendly

1.1
- Added Weapon detection, will instantly equip the correct ammos if you change your ranged weapon
- Added a check so it doesn't give an error if you don't have a weapon equipped
- Fixed Weapon type detection, will now give more love to guns
- Fixed the package, rar -> zip /oops

1.0
- Initial release

My only remark will be that not everyone has been able to raise the eternal stuff reputation, so if you could add somewhere a little condition to make the arrows swap between classic arrows/saronite stuff/eternal stuff depending on what is actually present in the bags it would be great, as for now I have to edit the lua to make the changes manually. Oh, an another little wish: a console command to switch the addon on/off Last edited by thelys : 01-18-09 at 07:40 PM.

(i'll upload after some more testing) About the switch, could you explain me why you'd want to turn it 'off' ? __________________ if (sizeof(workload) > sizeof(brain_capacity)) { die('System Overload'); }

thelys A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 30 Uploads: 0	thanks a lot for the changes About disabling, it's for a very particular situation: when I'm in Ironforge and want to test a new template/ability on the dummies, I do not want to use saronite arrows on the boss dummy... Not particularly essential, sure, but it would allow me to not have to reload the interface (with tons of addons) just for that.

Edit: now it is

Ok, then that makes sense ;p

I had manually editted the original version to use Terrorshaft instead of the Timeless, so when i DL'd (what i thought was a new version), i only had Terrors and Razorheads on me, so ofcourse it would just use the Razors.

Thanks for the awesome addon, saves me a ton of gold raiding

I'm gonna leave this addon in its current state for mainly two reason.

1. I don't spend a lot of time on target dummies, i don't use the boss one, and even if i do, a few arrows less isn't gonna hurt my wallet.

2. Blizzard ahs announced that they were removing the use of ammunitions in 3.1 but instead giving us some kind of 'relic', something that behave more like throwing weapons.

Targeted first boss, no switch. Tried switching myself, but it appeared cSmartAmmo switched back to Frostbite. Am i doing something wrong?

Indeed, it will only switch for bosses/worldbosses. there's no bosses in heroics.

On the PTR, Blizzard has not done away with ammunition; they have done away with the need for a quiver or ammo pouch. On the PTR, you can stack ammo to 1k, and the buff that the quivers/ammo pouches gave you are given to hunters in their autoshot. Not sure about the other classes that can use them.

Skylinee A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 390 Uploads: 0	Slightly bugged in 3.3, During Lord Marrowgar when targeting the spikes, the standard arrow icon pops up on my mouse (like they do when leftclicking them for example), and the arrows don't change to high quality on lady deathwhisper. Edit: Seems like the addon is forcing the use of low lvl ammo, even during bosses. That's why it's behaving strangely. Last edited by Skylinee : 12-09-09 at 12:56 PM.

Replace lines 10 and 11 in the lua file with:

local hiBullets, medBullets, loBullets = 52020, 41164, 31735 -- Shatter Rounds, Mammoth Cutters, Timeless Shell
local hiArrows, medArrows, loArrows = 52021, 41165, 31737 -- Iceblade Arrow, Saronite Razorheads, Timeless Arrow
