nUI takes ownership of MozzFullWorldMap and PartySpotter...

[spiel2001]

For those of you who may not already know it, Telic has decided to retire from WoW and from maintaining his addons. He has been gracious enough to have entrusted me with the ongoing care and feeding of two of his children: MozzFullWorldMap and PartySpotter.

MozzFullWorldMap is an addon I've been using for years and absolutely don't want to play without. PartySpotter is new to me, but it contains features similar to what I was doing with the BattlefieldMinimap in nUI and then some, as well as being compatible with AlphaMap for those who use it.

So, what does all of this mean?

First, it means that I'll be taking over their maintenance and as such have added them to nUI's family of addons. For members of the nUI+ Newsletter, it means that you'll get notices when these two mods are updated. Likewise, for subscribers to the nUI E-mail Update Service, you'll also automatically receive updates to these two mods, as well, when they occur.

While I will continue to maintain both of these mods as standalone mods, it also means that I am now free to roll their functionality directly into nUI as part of the core nUI distribution. This means I can add some excellent new UI functionality to nUI for those who are not already using these two mods, and, for those who are already using either one of these two mods, it also means that soon you won't have to worry about updating them anymore since they too will be included in the nUI updates. One or two more "mods to update on patch day" that you can scratch off your list.

So... I encourage you all to have a look at both of these mods and by all means, feel free to hit me up with suggestions, bug reports, etc. You'll find both mods now have technical support forums in the "Support" section at nUI's official site: http://forums.nUIaddon.com

Again, my sincere thanks to Telic for trusting me with his children, I promise to love them as my own.

Scott.

Well, I hope nUI won't be the bratty older sibling that gets jealous

HOLY EXPLICATIVE!

WAY TO GO SCOTT!

Uggh. Please tell me that these won't be moved into the main nUI code. I really don't need either of these mods, and having all of that extra overhead in the UI would really be a pain.

It's actually almost zero overhead and will be able to be optioned off.
