I too would like this functionality.

And I have another feasibility question: would it be possible for this mod to display one set of info (for me only, obviously) and the main Recount window to display another? For example, on Thaddius, I like to keep my Recount on Fail mode (extra plugin, if you're wondering) to watch for people messing up the polarity, but I want to keep an eye on my dps/damage done as well. This is probably not possible, but I figured it can't hurt to ask. Great work, thanks for a great addon. If all you addon authors would quit making nice addons, I wouldn't have so damned many. XD

Is it possible to change the display as damagedone(dps, percent) as it shows on the bar?
I want to track the rank with total damage done by me, and see the dps at the same time.. when I change the mode to DPS mode it shows the rank according to dps...

I think i can get this done by finding disptable for dps and add that value next to percent, but then I couldn't quite figure out what is the disptable for DPS..

This is just one feature that would make this addon perfect for me
Please help me with this.. Thanx alot for making such useful addons..

Np. To be honest I probably wouldn't have noticed cpu usage. I have a pretty powerful machine (Quad Core) so if I actually noticed it would mean something was really wrong hehe.

Oh and about the throttling. I agree, some folks might like it and some might not. In that case you might consider making that an option. That way folks who want lower CPU usage and are willing to sacrifice that bleeding edge up to date info can.

I'm always big into options and flexibility even while I realize that both have a cost associated with them i.e. more code possibly much more complexity etc. Basically options are kind of a way to attempt to please as many people as possible. And the benefit is also to you. So instead of 50 people screaming at ya about one thing but each wants it different you can just say turn on the option or turn off the option.

I don't know lua so I have no idea how complex it would make it to do stuff like that so just throwing that out there.

Forgive me if you already did this. I'm still waiting for WoW interface to approve the lastest version so I can download it.

Hey there,

I just found this addon and will be downloading the latest soon as it's approved. I did want to comment though on the whole minimizing cpu usage thing.

Different people have different reasons for wanting this. I'll give a few that I know of:

Average User:

• May not fully understand but has equated this with speed.
• May have heard that lower CPU usage is a good thing but not sure why.

Power User:

• Runs a ton of addons and programs and the less CPU each thing uses the more they can run.

Programmer

• Trained to program a certain way.
• Has a mindset of work smarter not harder and in this case "smarter" means making the most out of each cpu cycle.

Different types of programmers out there. One school of thought is that efficiency is its own reward. When I was in college we would have programming contests and to win you had to achieve whatever task they set in the most efficient manner. So someone may choose an iterative loop and another may choose recursion. Both get the job done but one may do it faster. Another may have scaling issues. Good for small sets but horrible for larger etc. But the point is we were trained and taught to do that.

Back then computers were much slower so it was even more important to make the most of what you had. The more resources a single program consumed the less that was available to either the system or any other running programs.

To this day if I look for ways to make my code faster and cleaner even though it works fine. I'm always looking to see if something I'm doing in 5 steps can be done in 2 and whether that improves the speed at the cost of code readability, etc.

So even though these days computers are really fast and some improvements go unnoticed by end users, by training I still do it. It may not be as important as it used to be but I still think it's important.

Anyway just wanted to share my thoughts. Can't wait to download the latest version.

I like the mod, really. I was wanting this for Recount, and missing it, i used Skada instead. However, i don't know that i will continue using it in the long term. It's got high cpu usage. Performance is showing at 10%, idle, as long as there is Recount data. And this is 10m raid. Haven't looked at the 25man raids. And i can see why it's so. I was modifying the lua, to adjust the way it displays the feed (to be more concise), and noticed how you gathered the information. It's just an intensive method to use, although i don' know if there's a better way. But we'll see, going forward.

Would it be possible to have the option to view dps instead of damage done? I use my current dps to judge on the fly how well my rotations are working. I don't look at the rankings, nor do I need to know my name. Just my current dps from recount in a data broker.

Currently I'm using Fubar RecountFu, and it works great, but I have to run fubar and fubar2broker to use it. It's also not being maintained, and this looks like the perfect replacement.

Thanks for all the work

This is a pretty impressive datafeed. I don't suppose that aside from all that we might get it to launch the recount window additionally?

See, then I could rid myself of the Launcher object that does only that.

But really, nice work.
