TaxiProgressBar

Version: 3.07, WoW 3.1.x
by: Nightness [More]

This addon adds a progress bar of taxi travel time. You will never need another addon like this again... as far as I can tell this one is (nearly) perfect. I dare you all to break its functionality.

  • Contains a large database of default flight times.
  • Can handle a logout situation perfectly, it will even update your destination if logout occurs before the last hop of the taxi.
  • Locally saves flight times and will use these saved flight times verses using the defaults. This allows the flight-time database to update itself.
  • Will calculate the flight time for a multiple-hop unknown route, from known flight times.
  • Low profile and a clean look.
  • Easy to read source.

Known Issues
  • A summons from a taxi will likely put the add-on in an unstable state. Please report all side effects related to such an occurrence. Thanks.
  • Some default taxi times might be incorrect. As the add-on is self-updating you will only notice the bad time the first time to fly to the location with an incorrect flight time. I'm working on a fix for detecting bad times from estimates.

Fixes in 3.07
  • Fixed a bug preventing calculated times for unknown routes
  • In these estimated times, removed the time saved for an IF or SW fly around. Sorry horde, you'll need to calculate your savings times and let me know.
  • Corrected and added some flight times

Again, sorry for not getting to the suggestions in the comments section.

Fixes in 3.06
  • Updated the TOC version for 3.1.x compatibility
  • Fixed the battleground bug that messed up the saved times
  • Added 37 pixels of width, let me know if you need more so those long names fit inside the box

If you have a lot of bad flight-time information saved (from a pre-3.06 version), you can delete these saved variables by going to the "World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\{ACCOUNT_NAME}\" folder and deleting the "TaxiProgressBar.lua" and TaxiProgressBar.lua.bak" files.

3.04: Fixed a small bug that was not saving actual flight times locally, and updated some default times.

3.03: Added the LAST missing function. It will work now. :)

3.02: Added a missing function... If you have problems with a specific route, please post the source and destination location information.

3. All the text is inside the progress bar, source, destination, and time remaining... Some may prefer this format. I know I do.

Well that really only leaves two options, as if you right click the bar and select "Compact" in InFlight - it places all the info inside the bar.

Everything appears to be working. I will add customization options in the next few day. As soon as, I'm over my bronchitis.

Should be fixed now (3.03 when released)... I was using one other function from a different addon. I have tested it standalone.

Well I tried it and....

Took a flight from gadgetzan to org as my test flight and there are massive errors



In Flight -
[01:59:03] Interface\AddOns\TaxiProgressBar\TaxiProgressBar.lua:176: attempt to call global 'FlexPanel_FormatTime3' (a nil value)
[C]: in function `FlexPanel_FormatTime3'
Interface\AddOns\TaxiProgressBar\TaxiProgressBar.lua:176: in function <Interface\AddOns\TaxiProgressBar\TaxiProgressBar.lua:160>
Interface\AddOns\TaxiProgressBar\TaxiProgressBar.lua:337: in function <Interface\AddOns\TaxiProgressBar\TaxiProgressBar.lua:298>
At flight master in org -
[02:00:12] Interface\AddOns\TaxiProgressBar\TaxiProgressBar.lua:257: attempt to call global 'FlexPanel_FormatTime2' (a nil value)
[C]: in function `FlexPanel_FormatTime2'
Interface\AddOns\TaxiProgressBar\TaxiProgressBar.lua:257: in function <Interface\AddOns\TaxiProgressBar\TaxiProgressBar.lua:249>
[C]: in function `TaxiNodeOnButtonEnter'
[string "*:OnEnter"]:1: in function <[string "*:OnEnter"]:1>
*edit* for clarification the first error repeated continuously until the flight was done.
