Current Plans For Carbonite

schizophrena · 10-01-12, 03:05 PM

Just a quick question about modularization, from a non-programmers viewpoint.

Will the combined parts have a much larger footprint because it is modularized?

I use a lot of the features of Carbonite; Map, BG, Punks (a little), Warehouse (especially for professions) and node routing (please tell me this is staying and how we can contribute when you're ready). I'm not sure if there is more that I'm not thinking of, but I'm glad to see the options are also (eventually) going to be re-hauled as that has been a long time gripe with Carbonite.

Thanks again for spearheading this large project!

In theory, if you have everything enabled it should be the same size.

While I don't know the specifics of the Carbonite addon (haven't had a chance to check the code) and I don't know what kinds of optimisations in terms of size or space the author's made, modularisation can actually decrease the size of a memory and/or disk space footprint. It really depends on the author's use of optimising techniques, but given the professional UI and other elements of the addon in my experience, I'd say if it changes at all, the footprint will likely be smaller rather than larger.

I think there may be a need for a prenatal and growing up pics at some point

I opened wowmatrix this morning and there was an update for carbonite. I installed it and loaded the game. it seemed to just shut down the add on. nothing was working. i could not even open the map at all. I was wondering if this was an update you release or it was just a bug in WOWmatrix. Again thank you for everything you are doing for all these undeserving people.

also if you would like someone to test all your updates i am willing to do so. i have 7 computers that i play wow on and would be willing to beta test for you. since i have no coding skills that is all i can offer atm.

The problem there is you are using wowmatrix... wowmatrix steals addons from sites like curse and wowinterface and pretends that it is an "official" site... NONE of the addons that wowmatrix provides (As they don't even host the files themselves, they use wowinterface server bandwidth) are authorised by the addon authors... NONE of the ad revenue goes toward the addon authors...

Please stop using wowmatrix... In using that site/program you are directly hurting the authors that are working on these fine addons...

Well, Curse abandoned their Mac users, and instead of open sourcing (etc) the client they are just leaving an old alpha up with known bugs and performance issues.

WowMatrix still has a Mac client, and it is way faster than Curse Client ever was.

I'll donate to add-on developers that have that option, and continue to use WowMatrix until Curse returns to the Mac.

You could just buy a real computer. There is hardly any difference hardware wise from a mac to a PC these days. It basically boils down to having to learn another OS to suit your needs. Which in all honestly is not all that hard for windows. FYI i'm not a fanboi of Microsoft. I've just been in IT for over 28 years. I personally use Linux.
