XPGain 0.01a
|
|
Well, yes I do tend to multi-task a bit too much, as I'm currently working on both the librarian/bookwormish mod (which has its own window that is capturing read books already, but still have alot to go) and XPGain, which I've thought of a couple features I wanted for it more then just a plain 'print to chat' sort like Exp2.
But I digress, the XPGain 0.01a version which I will probably be uploading later today, will be a basic print to chat experience such as Exp2 though which later will have a few customization options for the colors for each 'experience bracket' and so on, but will also let you know other XPGain users in your parties experience (or you for them). For example: If you type /xpg partyexp, and all (or at least one other) person in your party has been using XPGain, then you'll get a printout for each person such as "Shiyami has 3500 out of 5700 experience, and is 40% of the way to 80 with 60% of the way to go." which is updated whenever they get experience (so if you use it again after they kill something it'll be updated for you).
In the next version I've been thinking of having a toggle where you can have it display the experience gains for the others in the party as they get them (such as you see yours when you kill something) but it'd have to be a toggle as that could get spammy.
And on a final note, XPGain will come with EMLib, which I've mentioned a few times in prior news, you'll need both on for it to work, later versions of Looter and UsefulExtras (and the book mod when I get it done) will use it as well and be smaller (not that they're big to begin with) in size thanks to it.

UE 0.1.1q
|
|
|
This version fixes the error related to 'populateBuffs', which consequently fixes the bug of the menu not updating on login to show which options are on or off. So everything should be back to its normal fully working self, my apologies for the bugs there.

UE 0.1.1b and the Book mod
|
|
UE 0.1.1b is out and is mainly just the minimap button to open the menu, and an experience report whisper (basically, /whisper name exp, get a report similar to "Level 75 Death Kight, 73.7% of the way to 76, with 421859XP to go." can also do /ue exp to get the same basic printout just to yourself. The next version will be made to work with EMLib which I've mentioned in prior news. From a users standpoint, UE will be exactly the same (besides just needing to turn on EMLib in addition to UE). From my standpoint, and the users standpoint if they use UE and Looter (and ever one of my mods down the road) it'll be a bit of memory/processor savings (not that my mods so far really use much at all to begin with) with having the commonly used functions between mods simply calling EMLib instead of having the same functions repeated in each mod, as well as the Buff timeout warnings (I'm sorry this has taken so long).
After this release of UE, it'll be staying put for a while short of more feature requests, as I begin work on the Book mod similar to Librarian/Bookworm. It will capture the title and text of the books/scrolls/letters/plaques/etc.. you read, as well as the zone/dungeon location, and will eventually have an importer for bringing in books recorded by Librarian or Bookworm so those books aren't lost forever if those mods aren't updated anymore.

UE 0.1b and XPGain
|
|
Well, since its a fairly big feature I decided to bumb the version number a little, so instead of 0.09 its 0.1, but I digress, this release of UE now has a basic GUI menu, which you can use to easily see and toggle almost all of UE's features. The calculator and ID features still need to be done via slash commands, though at a later date I might make a GUI for the calculator as well (though I personally prefer the slash command as you can easily make more complex statements with it).
Haven't received any comments on the feature request for XPGain so I don't really know if others may find it useful, but I think I am going to release it anyway. For specific details on what it does read the prior news post.

UE 0.09b, XPGain and (undecided name) Librarian(ish) mod
|
|
For a short summary of this post see the bottom.
Well, have a bit of an update and a question in today's news update. The update is UE 0.09b as stated in one of the feature requests will mainly be Buff timeout warnings and a basic GUI (the gui being whats delaying the release), if you have an idea for something that would be good for UE to have make sure to post it on the feature requests section of this portal and I might be able to get it in before the release.
I am leaning towards releasing XPGain (name not fully decided yet) my experience printing mod, right now, its basically just a (different code but same looking printout style) Experience Gain Notify, with the printout color changing depending on the percent you are to the next level that will be continually updated (whereas XGN hasn't been updated since 2007). The mod is ready right now, but I just haven't decided if others would find another of this kind of mod useful. Later on I'll be adding more custimization options to it, such as letting the user input a standard RGB value set for each of the %'s (Useful Extras would be of a great help here) and so on. If you personally think a mod like this would be useful please leave a comment on the "XPGain, would you use it?" in the feature requests section of this portal under Misc.
After UE 0.09b is released so users can have at least a basic GUI to configure stuff with, I'll be beginning work on a 'Librarian/Bookworm'ish sort of mod. Now I have always been one to enjoy the lore of WoW, and read every book I come across (even before there was an achievement for doing so) and I've always wanted to be able to go back and read those books again later, without having to go back to wherever I found the book (or the rare books/letters which you can't get again on that character after turning them in). I used Librarian for a long time to that end, but then (2.4 I think?) majorly broke it and made it basically unusable for reading the books (it still captured them ok as far as I know), then I found Bookworm, and have been using that, and it still captures books fine, and can read them ok most times, but 3.0.2 has made it act a little weird, and like Librarian, it doesn't seem like it will be getting updated again anytime soon. So in short, I'll be writing a mod of that sort so that I can have a Librarian mod that will be continually updated through patches, and I won't "lose" those rare books/letters I can't get again from having to move from book mod to book mod. I will also be attempting to write an importer for Librarian and Bookworm into the mod, so those mods stored books can be imported and not lost forever.

Summary of my overly long rambling update post:
UE 0.09b next version:
Will have Buff timeout warnings, and a basic GUI for configuration.
-
XPGain (name undecided) mod:
Is a colorized & updated experience to chat printing mod, that will be considerably more customizeable in the future, if you would like a mod like this, then post a comment on the "XPGain, would you use it?" under Misc in the feature request section of this portal.
-
Librarian/Bookworm(ish) mod:
Due to not wanting to lose all the stored books and have a continually updated mod in the Librarian/Bookworm vein, to store the books you come across and read for reading again at a later date, from 'pedastals' like the inscription of Uther's tomb in the plaguelands, to books (Lament of the Highborne), to scrolls/letters and so on. Will eventually have an importer for Librarian/Bookworm to be able to import stored books from those mods to not lose them forever.
