V Difficulty (LDB)

Version: 1.8

by: Verissi [More]

V_Difficulty (Verissi's Difficulty) is a simple LDB data feed to display the current dungeon/raid difficulty settings. It also allows you to change the settings.

Yes, I got tired of right-clicking my unit frame to check what they were set to

1.8
* Fixed raid difficulty settings. I'm planning on rewriting a chunk of this, but this works
for now.
1.7
* Updated for 5.2 (TOC/rev bump and fixed function calls)
1.6
* Changed separator to | since it was requested and looked better anyway
* Fixed a bug triggered by entering a 40-player instance. Should properly show
"40" as the difficulty in the broker display, but it's not an available difficulty setting
(intentional on Blizzard's part).
1.5
* Updated for 5.0.x (TOC/rev bump and fixed function calls)
* Added Challenge Mode (CM) to the list of dungeon difficulties
* Added a few (somewhat superfluous) event handlers to catch corner cases where
difficulty changes are made, but the addon doesn't notice
* Made sure the difficulty abbreviations aren't nil when setting the LDB text
1.4
* TOC and rev bump for 4.0.1 and beta
1.3
* TOC and rev bump for 3.3.0
1.2
* Fixed LDB object type so it shows the text properly (no idea why I changed it before)
* Added Minion tag in TOC
* Tweaked tooltip layout a bit to make it less...wide
1.1
* Added the ability to change dungeon/raid difficulty by right-clicking
* Recoloured tooltip text and added a note about the right-click functionality
1.0
* Initial release

I'm probably going to rewrite parts of this in the near future to support some of the newer functions and make future updates a lot less painful, but 1.8 should work just fine.

It should! My German is very rusty, but it looks like the same error that was being thrown when entering a 40-player raid instance (which 1.6 is meant to fix).

To give you an idea of what was happening, entering a 40 raid instance caused GetRaidDifficulty() to return 0, which had no value associated with that index in the difficulty array I created. I've added the index and value pair, as well as added an extra check to make sure the difficulty functions aren't returning nil (just in case). Also, it seems that 40-player "difficulty" isn't a setting that you can directly set with Blizzard's functions (it's auto-set when you enter a raid instance like AQ40 or BWL, but there's no option to force it) nor was it documented anywhere since the Get functions seem to support the UI dropdown code (which only deals with 10/10h/25/25h/challenge). It was basically a corner case I just hadn't anticipated and wasn't fully documented otherwise. /doh

Probably a little more info than was needed, but some people might have been curious as to what was happening.

Doh, that's a case I completely forgot about. I'm guessing this happened when (or after) you had entered an old 40-person raid instance? I'll get that fixed up today. I haven't had too much time to work on things otherwise, so I apologise for not adding more fixes/features in the coming revision (haven't had time to work on the tooltip placement yet).

Edit: Rev 1.6 is uploaded, and fixes this. Let me know if you run across any other issues!

Thanks! Also woud it be too much for this addon to add a warning if hero mode is available and you join in non hero mode? I don't realy know how that warning shoud look maybe a popup where you just can klick OK? Haven't found an addon for this. Is this only me running inside Utgarde Pinnacle for 105 Times now and sometimes i still reach Skadi and notice I'm non hc again >_<

I like the separator suggestion too (never thought about it before, but that does look better). I'll lob that in there as well. Thanks for the suggestions and dancing banana endorsement

Also is there any way to change the position of the rightklick menu? I use this addon i top of my minimap and it pops out the screen

Verissi Premium Member Forum posts: 99 File comments: 29 Uploads: 2	New version for 5.0.x is pending approval now! Challenge Mode was added to the list and I think I squashed a few bugs that nobody reported, but I seemed to run across at rare times Tonyleila, if you run across the same bug, please let me know. I added some new event handlers in case the difficulty functions don't return the correct values on login (the root of the issue you were seeing). ..and now, a dancing banana in honour of Mists __________________ "I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." - Sir Isaac Newton "Half of twice as intimidating as Saurfang is still one whole Saurfang worth of intimidation." - Anticlaus, Gorefiend server

Re: not working correct

Sorry for the delay! Life's been kicking me in the head lately

I'm working on an update now, since the dungeon difficulty functions changed names (and Challenge Mode was added) in 5.0.x. I've seen that bug myself a few times, but can't seem to reliably reproduce it or figure out what causes it. I'll put in a bit more work on that and see if I can nail it down.

I should have an updated version today or tomorrow for 5.0!
