Distance2

Version: beta 20023

by: Mahiro [More]

DISTANCE2 - beta

this addon displays an aproximate range to you enemy or friendly target, depending on the class you play.

not all the options are implemented/working at the moment so i will add more with coming updates.

i wanted to make it easier for the user to see if something is missing for the addon to work correct,
so i added a spell and talent database for each class and you can perform checks to see what spells/talents are missing and
wether a range wich is supported for you character is active or inactive due missing spells on your actionbar.

----------------------------------
classes:
----------------------------------
the addon supports active classes but they need testing,

* Druid -- active
* Hunter -- active
* Mage -- active
* Paladin "inactive"
* Priest -- active
* Rogue "inactive"
* Shaman -- active
* Warlock "inactive"
* Warrior "inactive"

Mahiro A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 105 Uploads: 7	Distance3 update 20.04.08 i fixed some problems in the spellcheck, multiple frame creation works now. there are some difficultys with the range check but i think i should find a solution for that until next weekend. after this is solved i might release a first test version. i also added a lot of options to the menu for frame customizablility but i have to implement the functionality before they are ready. here is a preview pic of the menu options that will be aviable, its all work in progress so things could and probably will change till release. if you have any suggestions or think something is missing, please post it here so i can take a look at it.

Mahiro A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 105 Uploads: 7	update 12.04.08 because i rewrite most of the addon i decided to move to version 3. i implemented the last option in the spellcheck and starting to add menu options and multiple unit creation. this part may take some time because there are a lot of things i never done before and might need some more testing.

Mahiro A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 105 Uploads: 7	Re: Re: REQ: Specific distance checks/naming 21000 - preview: just wanted to let you know that im working on a huge update for Distance2 (it could be distance3^^). the acctual code was not what i had in mind when i planned it, but i did not have the knowledge to do it right. i reached a point where im able to do what i wanted to do with this addon, so im rewritign most of the code and creating a new menu so i can use the addon as optional dependecy for an other addon of mine. here are some things i hope to release with the next version: -- full customizable bars -- free positioning of text frame -- multiple frames can be created for different units -- user can deactivate ranges he doesent want -- supports every class -- spellbook is scanned for ranged spells and uses them for the rangecheck there is a lot of work to do till everything is written and tested, wip: -- the spellcheck is mostly done (complete spellbook parsing and table creation for every spell with range) -- all the class db, talent checks and class specific spell checks could be deleted. -- new menu (ready to implement all the options). -- im writing the rangecheck to get the new methods working and see how i can implement interact ranges and items.

Mahiro A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 105 Uploads: 7	Re: REQ: Specific distance checks/naming hi DJJoejoe, im glad you like the addon i havent worked on this addon for some time now because i wanted to change once again the spellcheck so it would create all the infos needed for the range when checking the spellbook. i wrote some new functions this week and looking forward to testing it, not sure it works because its the first time i done something like that if it works i can delete all the class code i wrote and it should be possible with the method to let the user activate/deactivate certain ranges or spells, and i could finaly implement all the other options i planned for it Last edited by Mahiro : 03-20-08 at 02:44 PM.

DJJoeJoe A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 172 Uploads: 1	REQ: Specific distance checks/naming Got another suggestion for ya. Would it be possible to select this distances to mark/pay attention to? What I mean is, as a shadow priest the only ranges i care about are my DoT range and flay range, so it would be nice to instead of seeing the bar go from 30 to 20 to 15 blah blah, to go from one range, dotting, to when I can flay etc. ============== OOR (37+) ===========---- Dot (36) ====------------- Flay (24) Something of that nature, only showing those distances and nothing else. Could be as simple as a check box in the options to turn on display for each distance mark. Would make this even more useful and specific for each person. Naming of set distances and choosing only which distances to show on the bar. I look forward to when you get talent scanning working though, that or a manual entry may be easier and I wouldn't mind having to enter my talents. __________________ Joetest - Ner'Zhul - Disciples of Death Last edited by DJJoeJoe : 03-13-08 at 05:18 AM.

DJJoeJoe A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 172 Uploads: 1	REQ: Manual talent entry Would it be possible to allow manual entry of talents? That would be nice. Other then that, your addon is amazing, I've never found a range addon I liked but I've always wanted one for quick reference when trying to distance myself from a mob. It's always a pain spamming mind flay and inching forward, and most of the time when you do things like that you actually will waste 1-3 flays when you get in range due to slight latency etc. __________________ Joetest - Ner'Zhul - Disciples of Death Last edited by DJJoeJoe : 03-13-08 at 05:18 AM.

Mahiro A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 105 Uploads: 7	i added support for priest spells but they need to be tested. so if you have any problems please report them. i heard that the deadzone for hunters got removed, is this true? and if so, whats the minimum range of the weapons, 5yards?
