NotesUNeed  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v6.63.33500
by: Telic, AJH16

___________________________________________________

NotesUNeed v6.63.33500 - Adrill of Eonar (US)
Originally created by Telic of Dragonblight (EU)
___________________________________________________

- fixed ChatFrameEditBox issue as reported by ameyaselene. Thanks for the great bug report.

Additionally, if anyone else would additionally be interested in working on maintaining this mod with me, I am looking in to setting NuN up on a repository to allow multiple contributors to work on it. PM me if you want to get involved.

AJ (Adrill of Eonar/US)




Feature-rich, searchable Notes database with many automated features, and additional NuN tooltips for viewing note details.

Make Contact Notes on other Players, or General Notes on anything else.

This AddOn is for making your own custom notes on players, and quests, and items, etc. and does not come with any pre-made notes.
It does provide an Export and Import Feature for sharing of sets of notes, or publishing of note databases.

There is no longer an "Alternative" version of NuN, and the default Modifier keys for creating notes from Container Items and Hyperlinks is now simply "<Alt>-Left Mouse Click". For anyone unhappy with this key-Combo, then they can now specify their own via the NotesUNeed Options frame.

Compatible with Titan via : TitanNotesUNeed
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/titannotesuneed.aspx

Compatible with LibDataBroker AddOns via : NuN-LDB
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13550-NuN-LDBLibDataBrokerAddonforNotesUNeed.html


Below is a summary of NotesUNeed functionality, but you should read the Readme.txt file for much more detailed discussion on these subjects.

Configure NotesUNeed here, or filter the notes to appear in the Note
Browser frame. For example, to just look at NPC notes, or browse
Quest History for one of your Toons

6.) Backup and Restore functionality to save your database

for others to Import

8.) Broadcasting & Sending of NotesUNeed Notes

Telic,

Appreciate your keeping NuN at least functional.

It really has become one of the "must have AddOns", the half day it was off, while testing some other things for our AddOns really made that point clear!

Thank You,

Nikk

Got this error today

Hello again Telic.

Got this error while I was inspecting someone, rather I right-clicked them and went into the NuN sub-menu and picked top option to make a note for that person.

The note was created, and filled in with the gear etc but also got the error message at same time.

Here it is:

Date: 2009-08-10 14:56:14
ID: 1
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\AddOns\NotesUNeed\NotesUNeed.lua line 1078:

EDIT: Got it again, seems every time I use the right-click context menu to create a note by picking a label it gives the error. First it creates the note and fills in most of the info, then it throws the error. It is giving the error after you choose one of the labels to give someone and in the note that is created, it's not populated automatically.

Question - Feature request

Thought it best to make a separate post for this.

When you right-click someone and go into the NuN sub-menu you have like 15 or so (don't know exact count) "labels" we can choose to describe someone. I hardly ever use them, mainly because the names aren't anything I would ever use.

Anyhow, Sure I can probably edit the .lua file and rename them to my liking, but then it would get wiped out on the next NuN update.

Any chance you can let us add/remove our own labels via in-game options?

For one thing I don't need 15+ labels, besides it makes the pop-out tooltip too long for my liking. I just want to add labels like:

1. Dumbass!
2. Annoying
3. Ninja (you have that one)
4. Spammer
5. Gold/level spammer
6. Whiner
7. Cool
8. Fun to hang with

...etc, etc. You get the idea =)

Thanks! I seriously hope you will consider it.

Is there any way to make the buttons stay put after disabling the addon and then re-enabling it? I really love your addon and advertise it any chance I get, but this little quirk is such a pain to deal with.

I use ACP to make a raiding set of addons that I use... I turn off all addons that do not pertain to raiding, and then turn them all back on when I'm done. Every time I turn your addon back on, it's moved back to the top of my screen. I end up having to completely turn off my entire UI in order to grab and move it because it sits right on top of something else that cannot be moved.

An entire month and no reply (actually, almost 3 months from looking at your last reply). Going to guess that this addon has been abandoned.

Orphaned NuN

NuN

Sorry peeps, but I'm effectively retired.

I have removed the PayPal buttons from WoWInterface, which makes it easy to do - and I am TRYING to remove them from Curse & WoWUI also, which seems to be a lot trickier.

I may come back to WoW some time next year - but probably not...

If anyone wants to take over development then you can e-mail me at the contact e-mail below, and I will cooperate as needed.

Sorry, and thanks for all your support over the years.

Goodbye Telic

Telic,

You've made some great addons and you will be sorely missed by all who use them. You were one of a handful of addon authors who were really good about updating your addons and responding to our replies about them.

Thanks so much and best wishes to you.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.

EDIT: *sniff, NuN broke and I cannot access my notes anymore in game. I am using a text editor now to read the NuN.lua file to dig them all out painstakingly!

NO!!!! How am I supposed to keep up my list of people who do me wrong in-game? 50 ignores is not enough!!!

Seriously,though - thanks for the addon man. It was one of my favorites. Good luck to you and I hope Cataclysm is too much for you to resist.

Down to business... anyone have any suggestions for an updated (albeit inferior) replacement?

I would like to say thanks as well, NotesUNeed was a great addon, very handy.

My first searches for a potential (albeit inferior) replacement yields this:

Thank you, Telic! Thanks for making NotesUNeed!

As for a possible replacement add-on, I just remembered having tried Hack. It hasn't been updated to officially work with patch 3.3, however, manually changing the interface number in Hack.toc to 30300 does the trick. As far as I can tell, the add-on works flawlessly with this tweak.

All the best to the fellow NotesUNeed users on your quest to finding a replacement you like.

On a side note, now that I apparently can't access my NotesUNeed notes in-game due to the error messages, is there a way to extract them from the NotesUNeed.lua SavedVariables file? I was able to manually copy and paste most of them to the new Hack notebook, however, some special characters I'd like to keep are encoded in a way I can't decipher, like "Ððxxðôóðr". Does anyone know a way to transcode those characters into a human-readable format?

Arrow NotesUNeed Alternative

I used to use Tinypad. It wasn't so bad, very simplistic and light-weight that's for sure. I tried it out when I got tired of the bulk of NuN. I used TinyPad for a few months and eventually just came back to NotesUNeed.

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...7-TinyPad.html

I am going to give Cirk's Notebook a shot. There is a link for it a couple replies down from this one.

Cirk's Notebook will give you an error message because it isn't updated for patch 3.3 but it's super easy to fix.

Just search this site for Cirk's other addon called Cirk's Badapples and look at the fix for that, it's the exact same error message for both his addons.

I'm gonna take a look

Just to give some hope to NuN users that were frustrated when it broke in 3.3, I am not sure when I will have time, but I am planning on trying to fix the incompatibilities and get it up and running. Telic, thanks for all the work you did on this mod and so many others. I know a lot of my favorite mods are ones you made. If you have any documentation on your code aside from whatever comments are in it, it would be a great help. I've done some contributing edits for Group Calendar in the past. I don't have the time to take over NuN, but hopefully I can keep it running.
