DressToKill

Version: r29

by: Cladhaire [More]

DressToKill is a very simple add which aims to take the guesswork out of choosing the "best" equipment for a given situation. Rather than including a complicated item parsing library that can break and change over time it sacrifices speed for accuracy.

Main benefits:

Rather than needing to know how much attack power each unit of strength gives you, you just simply test attack power.
This addon encourages you to consider the EFFECTIVE stats (such as attack power, crit, +healing, etc.) rather than the confusing raw statistics.
Farging fun to watch ;-)

Commands:

/dress is the primary slash command, and will automatically execute the selected evaluation.
/dress config can be used to open the interface options, or you can get them from the Blizzard Interface Options menu
/dress <name of weight function> can be used to execute a specific weight function from a macro or slash command. For example /dress Attack Power will evaluate using the Attack Power function.
/dress debug - Opens a window in the interface options screen that provides more detailed information about the selection process.

This addon moves through each inventory slot, finding the local optimum given a particular "weight" function. For example the following function can be used to create a healing/mana outfit, weighting every unit of +healing at 1.0, and every unit of mana as 0.7.

Code:

local healing = GetSpellBonusHealing()
local mana = UnitManaMax("player")
return (healing * 1.0) + (mana * 0.7)

The weight functions are also passed the link of the item being evaluated. For example, the following code will create a outfit for the highest possible health, requiring that the item "Regal Protectorate" be chosen:

Code:

local name = GetItemInfo(link)
if name == "Regal Protectorate" then
  return math.huge
end
local health = UnitHealthMax("player")
return health

The way this addon works can be pretty tempermental and is effected by your buffs and shapeshifts. Therefore if you want to test for armor contribution in Bear Form, you need to be in Bear Form in order for the results to be accurate. You also should not try to modify your inventory or bags while this addon is working.

This is an early release of a working addon, so there may be bugs that need to be worked out. Please let me know if you have any issues.

It's been pointed out to the there is another addon that does something similar on the wowace repository (http://svn.wowace.com/wowace/trunk/GearEvaluator/), but after looking at it this addon uses item scanning, and there doesnt' seem to be much support for the various evaluator functions. I plan to continue updating mine as necessary.

You could interface with Pawn based on what I left in previous comments, or you could start a post her on wowinterface where people can work to write new evaluation functions.

I'd like to help make DressToKill more popular but haven't had a ton of time to do more work on it or make people more aware of it.

Re: Error Message

If you get the errors below, then replace all instances of "InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame" with "InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory" in DressToKill.lua (should only be 2)

It now works for me.

GetItemInfo don't seem to have it, and from googeling I see other people have the same issue. Oh..and a small suggestion: When entering just '/dresstokill' it should pop up the config menu/write out the help screen. Not run the latest set you made.

Enchants that provide stat increases are factored in, that's the whole purpose of DressToKill. It actually looks at your real stats.
