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

Does this fix the issue where it chooses low lvl ammo for bosses though?

Edit: Just tried targeting a normal lvl 80 mob and it chose Iceblade Arrow (I had Terrorshaft equipped before targeting aswell).

All I can tell you is that the code changes work for me. I don't carry anything but Shatter Rounds and Mammoth Cutters, so I don't know if it will equip the low level bullets. It definitely switches to the Shatter Rounds for ?? level targets and Mammoth Cutters for everything else.

WoW 3.3 removed the ability for addons (any addons) to switch weapons and ammo automatically when in combat. Which may be causing some of the issues being seen.

It might still be doable in 2 steps instead of just one, i'll look into it now that i'm back in WoW.

It's possible that you can set it to switch to high lvl ammo whenever you enter a raid/group instance and just switch back to low when you exit (ignored when you're a corpse and corpserunning ofcourse).

Yeah that's probably what i'll end up doing, because i've tried and it doesn't seems i can have it work the way it was before, all that because of a rogue addon, poison something /sad

Could you also add a simple chat print whenever caelsmartammo does its thing? So i don't have to recheck every time i enter an instance to be sure my ammo changed.

Aww, completely forgot, i'll add it.

But, you don't really have to recheck, if you do, that means the addon doesn't work

Nah, it's just a nice touch to have. Also, it would be great if the addon could check on every instance zone-in that you have atleast 1000 premium ammo left in your bags (Iceblade arrows for example), and if you don't, it would print a warning telling you to restock.

Ok. This isn't working for me at all. It is installed in my addons folder, but on login, it isn't listed with the other addons.

It's located at the bottom list of the addons, not the top as you would think.
