Threat displayed as a percentage

Threat% displayed, also displaying Main Tanks' standings.

ScudThreat

A very minimal threat display.

Will not display if you have no threat on your target or if you are tanking with a clear threat lead.

If you are tanking but there is a danger of losing aggro, it will warn you. If you aren't tanking it will display your threat as a percentage of the amount needed to pull aggro, and will warn you if you are getting close to this.

Will display where you stand in relation to the main tanks' threat.

ScudLight can be used as a LoadManager for this AddOn.

--- This bit's quite technical ---

You can use this to display anybody in relation to you, not just the MTs.

To do this, use the slash command /scudthreatfunc <function>

This will cause you to display anybody in your group for whom <function> returns true. You can call the unit's name as a variable 'a'. Here are some examples:

Code:

/scudthreatfunc return true;

Will let everybody appear on your list.

Code:

/scudthreatfunc return UnitClass(a) == "Rogue";

Will display all rogues.

You can reset this to the default (Main Tanks) by leaving <function> blank. Also, note that only the highest 5 people will ever be displayed (not including yourself).

Please be careful with this functionality. It runs this function fairly often; on your head be it if you get error-spammed

.

When you use this, it will highlight players who match a second test. By default, it highlights players who are not MTs. So if you were to use the 'return true;' test above, you would be able to see who on your display is meant to be there and who isn't. You can use

Code:

/scudthreathlfunc <function>

to change the highlight test, and again leave it blank to reset to default (not a Main Tank). It works just the same as the previous one.

Change Log - ScudThreat

1.4.7 - Fixed a bug that would spam "'Unknown' is not in your party." errors. Added highlighting functionality.

1.4.6 - Fixed a bug where players were displayed out of threat order. Prettied up the options menu a bit.

1.4.5 - Fixed another bug (the same one really) with the sort function.

1.4.4 - Fixed a bug with the sort function.

1.4.3 - Altered display logic again. Fixes minor bug resulting from unexpected Blizz functionality.

1.4.2 - Included calls to null functions 'ScudThreat_IterateCallPre(i)' and 'ScudThreat_IterateCallPost(i)' either side of updating ScudThreat.ThreatTable[i].

1.4.1 - Fixed the check for whether to display anything.

1.4.0 - Reworked a bunch of code. Allowed the Main Tanks function to be customised.

1.3.8 - 'Default' button correctly resets the frame's location. Silly me.

1.3.7 - Primary Threat pointer is now a sexy icon.

1.3.6 - Text size now configurable. ('version b' of this repretties something I uglified)

1.3.5 - Main Tanks display is improved another little.

1.3.4 - Main Tanks display is improved a little.

1.3.2 - Displaying Main Tanks is now optional, defaulting on.

1.3.0 - Now detects Main Tanks and displays your standing in relation to them.

1.2.1 - Now says xx% instead of just xx. True story.

1.2.0 - Frame movable via blizzard options menu.

1.1.0 - More helpful whilst tanking, better warning thresholds when not, and takes even less memory.

Optional Files - ScudThreat

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.

The only addon i installed was Scudthreat. went too the same place with the 70-72 mobs where "daily quests" The same error popped up.?. So now what i have to do is turn off the addon when doing these quests. Only way to stop this from happening... I'm going to a friends house to try this and see if it happens there too..

I'm not blaming your addon for doing this, I'm just confused to why its happening.. If i can't find out I'm going to have to reistall the game and hope this fixes it?

Keep me posted if you find anything out. I can't really be more helpful at the moment, my apologies.

But I'd make triple sure it's fully deleted from your AddOns folder first 'cos it seems more likely that it has turned back on.

A brief investigation shows you reported this exact same bug on the page for the 'Threatening' addon in July. Looking at that report, I can see what he's done wrong in his code, he needs to lose an 's'. Did you reactivate the same version of that addon now 3.0 hit live? Try updating it.

great. Thanks for reporting this stuff, I know a lot of people would just disable it and let me rot.

Scudmarx A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 36 Uploads: 8	Right, 1.4.3 should have this fixed. It seems to on mine. Turns out this slightly unexpected behaviour from Blizz's function is affecting their own threat display system too - you'll notice if you had aggro warnings set to 'always on' that usually mobs you're soloing will be red-bordered with a '100%' message on them - occasional mobs you're soloing don't! This is because of this odd behaviour, which seems to happen sometimes when mobs get social-pulled (ie you pull a mob through another mob, which adds because it sees it's friend fighting you, not because it actually sees you directly).

Scudmarx A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 36 Uploads: 8	Little bit of progress. What is occasionally happening that I think you mean, is that mobs that get pulled sometimes display 100%, when really you'd expect it not to show anything as you're soloing, and clearly you're "tanking with a major threat lead". It turns out this is because the built-in Blizz threat functions are returning weird results occasionally when a mob's threat list only has one member. Without getting too technical, the functions are sometimes returning your threat status as being 0, meaning 'you don't have more threat than the person tanking', instead of, as is usual, returning 3 ('nobody else has more threat than you'). You can see how it is confusing itself. Now I know this, I'll see about fixing it ASAP (in this addon; really the problem is Blizz's function being weird :P).

Am afraid I'm struggling to make it bug like described. Looking at the code a few times, I'm finding it hard to see that there's any way it could bug like this. Unless there's something odd going on with Blizz's threat functions. But I don't think that's the case either. The stronger belief I'm forming is that I've misunderstood what you're saying is happening.

The problem is, let me see if I got this right, that it displays 100% threat on mobs you're not fighting, when you're soloing multiple other mobs? Will look into it tomorrow (sleeeepy).

Cheers for the heads up!
