RaidAchievement  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 10.003
by: shurshik [More]

RaidAchievement (RA addon)

What it does:

  • Reports in chat (or with sound) when group or raid achievement that you can't track is failed or when all criteria of the achievement are fulfilled and you need to kill boss.
  • Informs about achievements when you enter the instance or target the boss. Need to install AchievementsReminder
  • Manual selection of achievements (by location) available. Need to install AchievementsReminder
  • Shows tactics. Need to install AchievementsReminder


/raidAchievement or /rach or /raida - open menu (announces are enabled by default)

To track achievements from Cataclysm and WotLK expansions you have to download: RaidAchievement_OldModules
To track achievements from Pandaria expansions you have to download: RaidAchievement_Pandaria


Found bug? Have some suggestions? Post on the addon's forum!

.
Example:
"Getting Cold in Here"
Defeat Hodir without any raid member having more than 2 stacks of Biting Cold in 25-player mode.
- addon will announce in chat when someone gets 3+ stacks

etc.


Localization missing (need your help!):
frFR: Valithria Dreamwalker yell on pull, combat end, portals open
all languages (no ruRU, enEN): Brann yells in Halls of Stone, Onyia takes in a deep breath (emotion), Gal'darah (Gundrak) yell: I'm gonna spill your guts, mon!

and you don't get any errors? I'am using another version, which has different tracker, can you check if it does lags or not?

If no - i'll try to upload it quick

[Many Whelps! Handle It! (10 player)] (NO addon tracking)
RaidAchievement - Module loaded: Naxxramas + other mini WotLK raids!
Funny bug, but I'm pretty sure it's not a nice place to do that achievement

For the error message I was constantly getting, I searched through all LUA files with VS2005 to find that string in the code but haven't found anything. Anyway, that message wasn't coming from RaidAchievements, it was coming from my version of QuestHelper (which has been taken and fully rewriten by a fan), which has been updated yesterday and that should prevent the message from being spammed continuously and eating my system's resources.
If you have some lags - enable "show lua errors" in Menu - interface - help and show me errors that come Good luck

(I have a pretty good gaming computer, just a tad low on memory). Second, the failed achievement message on boss encounters. Is there anyway to send this message in /rw channel instead of /ra? Maybe a customizable option for the message output.

Thank you and keep it the good work!
you can change chat in options... /raida -> heroics or raids (2 diff chats) - http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw39528.jpg 1 unique for raids achieves and 1 for heroics
Ok, addon don't eat your resources, it's very light, until there will be some error, if there is one - which? show me it please
"DB not yet ready" - in last version DB is full for wotlk AND cata, so if you get this msg - you have very old version, which is bugged in naxx, as I know
Try to download last version and check it

We are still disscussing about this.

Got some negative posts, but also many positives too :/

If I don't play Wotlk, on 85 lvl I decide to do all 15 dungeons with achieves it's not very fun, want to do them quick, without opening wowhead, which is the same thing. It's something like old QuestHelper, only for party achieves

Well, will do some interrogation, to understand what to do better

i agree - do not post achievement details, itīs part of the fun to find out how to do it best. maybe you add kind of a hint, but not a detailled instruction (players will look online anyway if they donīt want to find out by themselves).

just my opinion - itīs your addon, you include what you like (I will use it anyay )

I gotta agree with Dridzt here.

I use RaidAchievement to let me know I failed, I don't need it to tell me how not to.

I was actually asking for "no tactics" to be included at all mate,
not for better ones, sorry if I failed to make it clear.

Like I said it's more of a personal preference.

I know people can and do check online resources when they get stuck,
but having them in-game just makes it 90% of users will just use a "stock"
solution or even worse just form their party based on that "solution".

It's a social problem and only indirectly related to your addon
but I think we all know how in-game tactics will be used by 99% of pugs.

It's entirely your choice what you want to include in any case.

I can 'vote' by using it or not, makes no big difference

@ Dridzt
You are right about Cataclysm achieves. I'd like to write descriptions for them, what not to do (bugs that can fail achieves, pets counting etc), and only for some difficult "the way that players use more often" (ex: Zombiefest, is it funny to try to kill 100 zombie in 1 area? They are reading wowhead tactic to do that, is it needed or not here?)

What about Wotlk achieves, everyone will be 85 lvl, who will go to old instance to make achieves and to read addon's tactic? 90% who never seen that boss, and didn't play Wotlk, to make their life easier I tried to describe what to do, without opening wowhead.

Achieves in russian was written much better, becouse my english is bad... So I removed some info that i didn't translate, that's bad +_+

Well, can you make some examples? Write some tactics as you want to see them, we will disscuss the way with my friends

Thanks for suggestion =)

I would ask if you'll re-consider adding tactics to this mod.

It seems like a very interesting idea that I've been keeping an eye on,
and was planning on using come Cataclysm.

However I think that figuring out the best way for "your" team to complete an achievement is 90% the fun.
The achievement text tells you "what" to do, the "how" should be left to the players.

Would you keep the extreme hand-holding out of it please.

The original idea of tracking the criteria fulfillment is a very strong and helpful one.
Especially for achievements where completion or failure is not immediately apparent on the game UI.

In any case this is just a user's request/opinion.
I'm not trying to say I "represent" any players although I think there may be more than just me, my friends and guildies that think alike.

I'd hate for this to end up like this:
-"Ok guys, we can attempt x,y achievement, how should we go about it?"
-"Lolz, just get 3 x "class", and 2 x "class" and do what RaidAchievement says noob"

Just something for your consideration

Thanks, this error will be fixed in a next version.

> global setting
there were many reason why I used local settings. Hmmm for the moment I have no idea how I can realize changing from local to global by a user. I'll think about this for the moment the best way is to copy that file in saved variables for every char +_+

Thanks
