Class Combo Points

Dajova · 08-01-10, 01:28 PM

This is the official thread for CCP (Class Combo Points).

Current Version: 3.0

What is CCP?
Basically, it's a class styled combopoint addon. In other words, it fakes combopoints for all classes (check front page for the full list of auras and stuff).

But there is already a addon that does that!
True, but mine is a bit different. Most other number based combomods only displays for classes that uses combopoints as their base (rogue and feral druids).
Mine displays faked combopoints for different abilities, like Maelstrom Weapon.

Ok, so how does it work?
Easy, install as any other addon and you're good to go. It will display numbers as you gain specific ability stacks, so you won't have to look at the buff bar to keep track how many stacks that you have before you can use the next ability.

That sounds awesome! You know i love you right?
Haha

No seriously, is there any way to help you develop this mod further?
Yes, ofcourse! I'm always happy to get feedback and suggestions on more classes/abilities that i can add to expand the mod.
Keep in mind that not all abilities works to fake combo points, but i will try my best

Read the download page

Configuration is all done in LUA, on top of Combo.lua, such as font and position.

Added a small note on the front page on what you can change and where. Should be more self-exploratory now.

Update 1.2

- fixed paladin module, should work now (Blood Corruption (tested)/Holy Venegance (untested))
- moved the counter even more down
- added warrior module (placeholder, not currently working at al)

The Paladin module won't work for Alliance Paladins.

Code:

local Dot = GetSpellInfo(53742) or GetSpellInfo(31803)

That code will always return Blood Corruption. When you call GSI with a spellId you will always get return values.

Code:

local Dot = GetSpellInfo(GetSpellInfo(53736)) and GetSpellInfo(53742) or GetSpellInfo(31803)

That should work to actually switch to Holy Vengeance on Alliance Paladins.

Basically you query to see if the Paladin has Seal of Corruption in their spell book by getting the localized name of the seal with the inner GSI call. The outer call uses the name, if Seal of Corruption is in the player's spell book the function returns non-nil which then sets Dot to Blood Corruption. Otherwise Dot is set to Holy Vengeance.

I know this works for Alliance, but can't test for Horde.

Dajova · 08-16-10, 01:30 PM

That did work for horde paladin as well, strangely enough

Now i just need to figure out why my warrior module isn't working...

EDIT: Ah, finally got it to work... Just had to remove nil, "PLAYER|HARMFUL" and it worked xD (Bad idea to spoof code from other classes!)
Will update the mod tomorrow, now i need some well-earned sleep

(debuff icon only there to show that it works as intended)

Updated with the latest changes in 1.3, such as paladin and warrior fixes.

Added the addon to curse.com -> http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/ccp...-combo-points/

This would actually be less function calls, and the "correct" way to check if the player knows a spell:

Code:

local Dot = IsSpellKnown(53736) and GetSpellInfo(53742) or GetSpellInfo(31803)

Well, not that it matters much, but ill see if i change it in the future. The current way is still functional and doesn't have that much of a impact, as long as it still works.

I wonder if using UnitFactionGroup is even better

Dajova · 08-18-10, 03:38 PM

added a small introduction video on the first post

I wish the two factions just had the same spell.

Looking forward to Seal of Truth.

Probably not, since you'd need an additional call to select (or a separate line to store the return values) since the first value returned by UnitFactionGroup is localized and thus useless for this purpose unless you don't care about localization.

Since i'm using SpellID and not the actual name of the spells, localization is useless yeah

And since it only displays stacks anyway, IsSpellKnown is probably the best call atm...

Updated the mod today with basic functionality for Cataclysm.

Dajova · 09-29-10, 03:55 PM

Ok, fixed a separate addon for cataclysm updates! Have a look here!

Dajova · 10-08-10, 06:39 AM

I need some help guys.
I am currently working on to convert HOLY_POWER and SOUL_SHARDS into combo points, so CCP will catch them. Problem is that i have worked 1 month with trying to figure out how, but been unsuccessful

So anyone with decent LUA coding skills can help me out here, cause im going nuts on this

NOTE: Cataclysm Release ONLY!
