Hostile players detected in Dalaran (testmode is on, anchor is visible)

Little help if you wanna tweak the settings

EnemyScanner

EnemyScanner is aiming to improve your hostile player awareness in PvP-Servers.

Some features:

Enemy detecting - If hostile players are detected in your combatlog range it will try to guess their level from the spells they use.

Mouseovering players - Will save the data of hostile players just by mouseovering them.

Enemy saving - Saves all the hostile players of your server and if you meet them again, it will have more accurate level estimates.

Level limit - Will make sure that "lowlevels" (default is set to 60) aren't saved.

Battlegrounds - If you decide to join battlegrounds, EnemyScanner will use different database for names. That database gets wiped everytime you enter the battleground.

Instances, Raids, Arenas - EnemyScanner will automatically disable itself if you enter one of these. Will also enable itself once you come out of one.

Database cleaning - Will clear people you haven't seen for 7 days (can be changed)

At this point, EnemyScanner doesn't have any GUI to change the settings. See the slashcommand '/enemyscanner' for more information.

Change Log - EnemyScanner

1.7:
* No longer displays double names in battlegrounds.

1.6:
* EnemyScanner is now disabled in Sanctuaries.

1.5:
* Fixed the line 338 error.
* Modified the scanning to work with testmode / out of dalaran.

1.4:
* Let's actually check if the addon is updating when we mouseover people.
* Don't add mouseovered players in the list while you are in Dalaran (unless testmode is on).

1.3:
* EnemyScanner now *REALLY* catches all the hostile actions around you! (There was a bad bug).
* Player colors are now always taken from GetPlayerInfoByGUID(unit).
* Mouseovering hostile players now adds them in the list, if you have it enabled. Default is Disabled. Use '/enemyscanner addmouseover' if you want to enable it.
* Added slashcommand '/enemyscanner dbclean' that will remove old, useless data from Database.

1.2:
* Added support for new api: GetPlayerInfoByGUID(unit). This will make the addon catch the classes of hostile players from every spell they cast. Level will be displayed as zero when this happens (unless greater level is already known).
* Added option to toggle a new feature "Flash" on/off. The addon will flash the edges of screen if you have empty anchor and unit is detected. ( /enemyscanner flash )

1.1:
* Resets previous Database because of the new saving format.
* Data will be saved per Server now instead of all in one.
* Mouseovering hostile players will also save their info, and also updates the existing level.
* Lowlevels are cleared at logout now instead of using timer to do it.
* Hostile unit data will be kept for 7 days (default), if you don't meet them again, they are removed at logout.

1.0:
* Initial Release

Well, that doesn't make the feature useless. First off, you might be out of combat when noticing the enemy and want to target him/her.

But more worrying, I keep getting a very low fps when in crowded places with ES activated, going from 40ish fps to 5-6fps.

EDIT: Nvm second part. Went away after a while.

/target xxxx
in the console. There is a similar functionality in the Carbonite Addon, which lists the enemies found based on combat log and simply clicking on one of the names lets you choose that character. the reason Im not using that addon is that it's huge and there are many more things, I just want to find the enemies around me when I'm exploring.

(This feature requires changing the lines to "/target name", which cannot be done in combat)

Also is there a way I can help out with this addon?

Question: Does the anchor have to be displayed to display enemies?

Disabled completely for now.

The newest version should work just fine. If it doesn't, "/script EnemyScannerDB = nil" and then "/reload".
