FinderReminder

Version: 1.7

by: tardmrr [More]

FinderReminder: An addon to remind finders to track the things they wish to find.

FinderRemind is an Ace Addon that reminds the user at the usual times when a tracking skill would be turned off (like after you resurrect) to turn a tracking skill back on. It presents a window with all your tracking abilities that you can click on to activate. If you're thinking "that would get real annoying in a battleground," then don't fret! FinderReminder has an option to turn off reminders while in a battleground.

FinderReminder is not just for hunters! In fact, it was written to remind herbalists and miners to not forget, but was expanded to work for hunters and other classes or races that have tracking abilities.

Big thanks to Cair for helping me test this with a hunter since I don't have one.

It comes up with a message reminding me to turn on my find herbs after I ressurect (no 'turn off in bg' option though). No idea what could cause it. Gonna play with turning a variety of addons on and off....

The 'off in BG' option is on by default, but you can turn it off if you like with /fremind hideinbg

I am having the same problem - I am using the American version of the client.

I'm not sure why, but even though FinderReminder is checked off on my addons list, my game does not seem to recognise that it is enabled. I tried using the slash command to turn the mod off in BGs, but my client did not recognise it as a command and gave me the standard "type /help for help" response.

Any idea what other mods could be suppressing FinderReminder?

However the box seems to change size, sometimes it's similar to other popup messages (the default ones, like 'are you sure you want to delete this item' , but still larger than it should be), sometimes they all seem larger than usual. It's hard to explain >>

I honestly changed *nothing* in the "Show popup" code. The only change I made was to compensate for a change blizzard made in the popup code. They switched the order two calls and it ended up with their code resizing the frame *after* mine so it would be too small.

This is a known bug and I'm looking into it. Do note that it's purely cosmetic.

This is with a track ability already selected and showing on the minimap. Unexpected behavior and prior versions did not do this. Last edited by Zidomo : 05-05-06 at 12:24 AM.

Well whatever happened, it works now (possibly an addon supressed it then was fixed). Yay for ace based tracking reminders

Unexpected behavior and prior versions did not do this.

This is also a known bug that has been present in all versions. GetTrackingTexture is returning nil a PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD even when you have a tracking skill enabled. I'm looking to find an elegant solution to this.

Ah. Was under the impression that prior versions did not do this; was likely cross-referencing FindRemind .

That mod doesn't allow you to choose what tracking ability to reinstate. But it always put back the prior tracking ability correctly. The code of that mod may (or may not) be something to reference.

Scae A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 11 File comments: 84 Uploads: 0	The only problem I have with this addon is that it reminds my druid to turn humanoid tracking on when I log in. However I can only access this tracking under certain circumstances (shapeshift into cat form) so it's a bit pointless to be reminded to turn it on Otherwise it works perfectly (including not bothering to remind me in BG's then reminding me when I leave the BG - awesome! ).
