new Fubar support!
new Audio alert (optional)
IWD replaces the WorldDefense channel spam with a few lines of text floating above your default chat frame. This indicates which zones are being attached, how many attacks have been recorded, how long ago the last attack was and if an area is being pounded; IWD will announce in the chat frame as well.
NOTE: See included ReadMe.txt for instructions.
Known Issues
FuBar-only mode will not auto-deactivate when FuBar itself is not detected, therefore no alerts show in this situation. This option can be changed in the /iwd menu.
Enabling/Disabling the addon via its /iwd menu will throw an error. IWD will, however, still enable/disable correctly.
Latest Changes
- v1.5.2: Updated TOC for compatibility with WoW 2.4; updated zone list to include some new areas.
- v1.5.1: Updated TOC for compatibility with WoW 2.2; no further changes were made at this time.
- v1.5: Hopefully have fixed this frame bug that's been plaguing people. The frame is now on a lower strata than before. Minor visual tweak. Integrated TBC zone names I'd collected. Updated README and in-game help. Fixed /iwd lock command to actually work; same for options menu locking tick box.
- v1.4r1 Bug Fix. This version fixes a bug which would cause the IWD frame to vanish when it had been moved, after a logout. Tweaked move frame.
- v1.4 Stable release. Reworked some internal stuff, the zone list is now in a seperate file to make it easier to update. Also added the option to unlock the IWD alert frame and move it via /iwd menu (requested). Cleaned up the chat alerts and options menu.
- v1.3.9 Stable version; full FuBar support (working!). Bug fixes and zone code cleaned up. Added some code to auto-join WorldDefense in case your not in that channel. Changed debugging code to help track future problems (touch wood etc). Added TBC zones I've collected into the main array.
- v1.3.8-r1 fixes the debug spam, and also fixes a bug I wasnt aware of that meant you coulnd't toggle zone/subzone text properly. Enabling/Disabling IWD from the options screen will throw an error but it still works. I'm looking into this. Again, looked into the FuBar code and it's almost complete.
- v1.3.8 implements a new tracking system to record new zones (primarily Outland areas) to further improve the zone definition list. FuBar support has been tweaked in this version too so hopefully it's working a little better now. I'm still working on adding more options.
- v1.3.7.1b fixes error message related to unresolved FuBar issue.
- Completely rewrote FuBar support
- Fixed colour coding on FuBar
- Added option to mute normal alert in favour of FuBar-only alerts
- Added audio alert option
- Added tooltip to FuBar plugin to display location details
- Added flashing icon to FuBar that will indicate attack severity
Optional Files - ImprovedWorldDefense
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
I am having the same probem of it coming up incompatible to. I thought maybe its because im running Vista. I did have to download a zipmanager,because vista wasnt allowing me to unzip it for some reason. The libs 0kb file was interfering with Libs file folder and the same for the 0kb file in the Libs folder Ace,fubar and tablet. when I tried to take out the 0kb files.
it would say there is already a file named Libs and was given the option to try again,cancel or quit.
It installed just fine with the zipmanager, but I was getting an incompatible in the add ons list. It didn't work at without the zipmanager.
Any thoughts?
thanks

I appreciate your concern, but I'm not going to have this removed. Feel free to use it. I'm just angry when people think addons are all public domain and they can do whatever the hell they want with the code. I've had literally about 5 or 6 addons of mine copied like this, and it's getting old.

My addon has never ceased being functional.
There was no need to continue working on it further because it does what it is supposed to do. Bloating addons with a bunch of garbage is not my style.
If you want to fork somebody's work, the polite (and legal) way to do it is to ASK for permission. I would have granted it on the conditions that you had named your addon something else and credited me + linked to my addon in your addon's description.

I don't see this working at all anyway since it shows up in my AddOns list as Incompatible and the fact that the code seems to be stolen or reused without permission makes me less likely to get any further updates. Sorry bro, coulda been good but not if it's stolen code, that's just not right.

Originally posted by kuroshiro I have this same exact problem. I have two bars, one at the top, and one at the bottom. with IWD enabled (from the addons menu before selecting a character) I am unable to interact with anything on the top bar, where IWD is. The bottom bar functions normally. I was able to disable IWD with the bottom bar menu, but the top bar was still unresponsive to mouseclicks. Plugins on the bar updated their information normally however. I haven't tested anything beyond that.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm looking into this; have you tried the hotfix I posted previously? Hopefully that will sort it for now. The problem is that in some situations, the drag bar for IWD extends itself across the screen when it shouldn't.
Originally posted by tattooedpierre Hmm.. very very odd. I use sRaidFrames and I have WIM installed which also have FuBar support and they function fine for me. I'll check this tonight, thanks for reporting.
EDIT: I'm unable to replicate this. I right-click IWD and choose Disable on FuBar. All my other FuBar plugins are still there, and I can click on them and interact as normal. Is there a plugin in particular that doesnt work after disabling? Or are you doing something differently from me?

Thanks for that, I'll look into the resize code and see what the problem is.
EDIT: As a hotfix do this;
(1) unlock the IWD frame and place it somewhere on the screen, say near the chat area where it normally is (we can move it again later).
(2) goto /iwd and lock the frame again
(3) /rl reload the UI.
I've found that this resets the frame to the size it should be - which is a small black square (for dragging around). This should mean then, that there are no issues with it getting in the way.
I will look into fixing this in code, though all the same.

I had the same problem, what I have found out is that when I went to move the IWD display a black bar, the whole screen length, showed up. As I moved the IWD display down away from the top of my screen, which was preventing me from using Fubar, I could then use the icons. However being that the black bar was now over some of the icons on my minimap I could not click on them. In the end, whatever that black bar is over can not be used. I pulled up the black bar by my unlocking the IWD display from the IWD options menu. I tried resizing it but nothing worked.
Originally posted by Sohjiro Installed it and it appeared on my FuBar with no problems, the problem now is that none of my fubar addon menus are working now. Right clicking or mousing over them does nothing. They appear to be functioning, but I can't interact with them at all.
Disabling this addon allows everything to work fine.
