Any chance for an update to 3.0.3 and or wotlk (CandyDice)

Whysky — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:09:10 +0000

I hope this didn't sound rude, its just that Ive been using this addon for sometime now and as of the 3.0 patch the api changed for getting buffs, i tried the ever so popular discodice (hated it), classtimer (hate it) and many more. i even tried sitting down to find out what i need to change to get candydice to work again but it seems im just not up to it.
If someone is using a version that works i would be very grateful if you could post the changed code or upload a zip. I just cant do without this addon.

snip von wow forum:
The various GetPlayerBuff functions have been removed and integrated into the appropriate unit functions, adding a new UnitAura function and updating the others:

The new parameters and return values are:
name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, isMine, isStealable = UnitAura("unit", or )

Doesnt work (CandyDice)

I jsut installed thi saddon, and I am not using any other cooldown addons. I am using smartbuff and smartdebuff. When I try to use this mod, upon login it generates over 11 errors. Basically it cannot detect any of the class abilities for any class, then says candydice not detected. Its possible that some other addon I am using is conflicting, but I doubt it. Anyone know why this is happening?

Woot! (CandyDice)

Awesome awesome mod man. Tried all the cooldown timers mods and haven't found 1 yet that detected everything....until yours. It is detecting all my pally abilities cooldowns flawlessly. And being able to manually add abilities was a godsend. Thank you:)

I can only guess but I think the event CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_DAMAGE isn't fired when you sap someone.

Maybe someone else has a clue?

For Clock of shadows, just add the cool down yourself and it should work just fine. I use DeuceCommand for all my ace Addons, so it makes adding abilites really easy.

As for Sap, i tried to add it myself since i haven't seen an update to the addon and i am having a problem. I basically copied the blind file, replaced every instance of the word "blind" with the word "sap". I also changed the duration on Sap to 45. But the code doesn't seem to recognize the attack/ move.

Here is the code i used:
assert(CDRogueTimers)
local BabbleSpell = AceLibrary("Babble-Spell-2.2")

local Sap = CDRogueTimers:NewModule("Sap")

Sap.category = "Incapacitate"

function Sap:OnEnable()
self.rank = 1
self.parser:RegisterEvent("CDRogueTimersSap", "CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_DAMAGE", function(event, info)
return self:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_DAMAGE(event, info)
end)
end

function Sap:OnDisable()
self.parser:UnregisterAllEvents("CDRogueTimersSap")
end

function Sap:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_DAMAGE(event, info)
if info.skill ~= BabbleSpell then return end
local duration = 45
self:StartBar(duration)
end

Can anyone help me to get this added to candy dice? I would rather not leave this addon if i don't have to.

Any support for Cloak of Shadows cooldown? Also, for some reason I'm not getting Cheap Shot/Kidney Shot timers in PvP, is that a bug?

Couldn't you just check the Combat Log for when it was applied and count down from there?

Sap support coming in next release, sometime this week.

It should have worked before, but if it didn't, it should work now with the SurfaceLib integration. You can also register your texture with SurfaceLib and select it from the texture menu.

Edit: once I updated the .toc to hook the supplied surface lib, I got more options than {Blizzard} for textures and was able to get the retexturing to work.

/cdice abilities delete. You can also change the cooldown & buff scanning of each ability individually with /cdice abilities scanbuff|scancd.

what infos do you need? :)

What's the exact name of the water elemental spell, as it shows up in your spellbook?

When you have the water elemental out, do you have a pet tab in your spellbook? If so, what are the names of its abilities as shown there?

As I outlined in my edit below, it seems to trigger off a different event, I changed that and it's showing whereas it won't show at all using CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_DAMAGE as it's coded.

Edit: Heh, caught your edit below just now and it matches what I was expecting. I noticed the duration problem being due to combo pts = 0 (I assumed they were 'used' by the time the event triggered) but didn't want to fight the 404 errors to try to edit the post.

I came here to just that (and that I was going to try capping the combo pts from spell complete) but, heh, you'd updated. :D

Thanks again :)

Kidney Shot Works For Me(tm). Can you give me any specifics?

The stealth bar will sometimes show up when it should be suppressed. This is your client showing the cooldown wrong, usually because of lag. It should correct itself in a second or two.

CandyDice seems to work fine under the new patch, I will post an updated version later this week (Monday at the latest) with the toc fixes below and an updated toc for the new patch.

EDIT: Kidney Shot worked for me because I hadn't merged the fixes for it from my TBC branch. Because of the slowness of the site, I don't want to struggle through making a release but I will paste the updated file below. FYI, duration didn't work because the event now fires after your combo points are gone.

assert(CDRogueTimers)
local BabbleSpell = AceLibrary("Babble-Spell-2.2")

KidneyShot = CDRogueTimers:NewModule("Kidney Shot")

local KSName = BabbleSpell

KidneyShot.category = "Stun"

function KidneyShot:OnEnable()
--self:SetDebugging(true)
self.rank = nil
self:RegisterEvent("SPELLS_CHANGED", "ScanSkills")
self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED")
self.parser:RegisterEvent("CDRogueTimersKidneyShot", "CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE", function(event, info)
return self:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE(event, info)
end)
end

function KidneyShot:OnDisable()
self.parser:UnRegisterAllEvents("CDRogueTimersKidneyShot")
end

function KidneyShot:UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED(unit, spell)
if unit ~= "player" then return end
if spell ~= KSName then return end
self.combo = GetComboPoints()
end

function KidneyShot:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE(event, info)
if info.skill ~= KSName then return end
if not self.rank then
self:ScanSkills()
end
if not self.rank then return end
if not self.combo then return end
local duration = self.combo + (self.rank-1)
self.combo = nil
self:StartBar(duration)
end

function KidneyShot:ScanSkills()
-- Scan spellbook to figure out what rank we have
for ii =1,MAX_SPELLS do
local name, rank = GetSpellName(ii, BOOKTYPE_SPELL)
--self:Debug(name)
if name == KSName then
--- wrong wrong wrong... parse the rank out of the string
local _,_,nrank = string.find(rank, 'Rank (%d)')
self.rank = nrank
return
end
end
end

CheapShot = CDRogueTimers:NewModule("Cheap Shot")

CheapShot.category = "Stun"

function CheapShot:OnEnable()
self.parser:RegisterEvent("CDRogueTimersCheapShot", "CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE", function(event, info)
return self:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE(event, info)
end)
end

function CheapShot:OnDisable()
self.parser:UnRegisterAllEvents("CDRogueTimersCheapShot")
end

function CheapShot:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE(event, info)

Edit: Ok, looks like KidneyShot throws a CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE instead of a CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_DAMAGE event, I changed the event for KidneyShot and the duration timer started showing up again...now to get it to use the right duration...

kaylen — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 01:15:18 +0000

I'm sorry for abandoning you guys, seeing all the posts motivate me a lot more to clean up what I have and release it. I've had a lot of work IRL and my guild disbanded so I haven't been playing much lately, kind of on hold until TBC ships.

The CandyBar problem listed below - thanks for the fix. The CandyBar devs slipped a backwards incompatible API change in without upping the version number and I was hoping they'd fix it right away, but I will fix CandyDice to work properly with the new API.

Non-refreshing timers: Blizzards fault, but CandyDice can work around it.

RE: CCWatch functionality. This is the purpose of the CandyDice-RogueTimers addon (part of CandyDice). It's still a beta state but will be working much better in the upcoming release.

RE: Shadow priests: CandyDice can, out of the box, track any buff or cooldown. just add them to be tracked with /cdice abilities addnew. I add items to the defaults as it occurs to me, and I mainly play a rogue so those are the abilities I add. If anyone wants to contribute default files for any class or race, they are very easy to create - just edit the class files in the CandyDice folder. Copy existing entries, the color entry is a HTML format hex color.

RE: Frost mages: The water elemental isn't a buff (I think?) so the core CandyDice mod won't work, but a CandyDice-RogueTImers module probably could. I don't have a 60 mage so someone else would need to write this or provide me with the information needed.

Thank you all for all your support, I feel bad about letting you guys down. I have a new release incoming.
