IWD (fan's update)

Version: v1.6a

by: tattooedpierre [More]

IWD (fan's update)

Original mod: http://www.torridreflections.com/wow/ by Torrid.

Features

Clears WorldDefense spam
Shows number of attacks within a given timeframe for each zone
Alerts you when a certain threshold of attacks has been met
Flash the most recent attacked area
Shows you the time since the last attack
new Shows you the zone and sub-zone for each attack, to help easily locate
new LDB support!
new Audio alert (optional)

IWD replaces the WorldDefense channel spam with a few lines of text floating above your default chat frame. This indicates which zones are being attached, how many attacks have been recorded, how long ago the last attack was and if an area is being pounded; IWD will announce in the chat frame as well.

NOTE: Because of the changes to v1.6 which included the SavedVariables structure and other XML changes, I'd recommend binning any current folder with IWD and totally replacing it with this new version.

Known Issues

None

v1.5.3 is BETA. Ie: there are still some known bugs.. and ones I'm sure are unknown. But its out there.. and works for the most part. Will fix bugs in due course.

- v1.6: Rewrote the configuration screen using Blizzards own interface menu, will show up as 'IWD'. Added basic LDB data feed to show the most recently attack target. Will expand on this in the future to include a tooltip with details.
- v1.5.4: Updated for 3.1, fixed config bug. No FuBar support atm.
- v1.5.3: Updated for WotLK, however, not all bugs fixed. LUA error re: slider in options panel still outstanding.
- v1.5.2: Updated TOC for compatibility with WoW 2.4; updated zone list to include some new areas.
- v1.5.1: Updated TOC for compatibility with WoW 2.2; no further changes were made at this time.
- v1.5: Hopefully have fixed this frame bug that's been plaguing people. The frame is now on a lower strata than before. Minor visual tweak. Integrated TBC zone names I'd collected. Updated README and in-game help. Fixed /iwd lock command to actually work; same for options menu locking tick box.
- v1.4r1 Bug Fix. This version fixes a bug which would cause the IWD frame to vanish when it had been moved, after a logout. Tweaked move frame.
- v1.4 Stable release. Reworked some internal stuff, the zone list is now in a seperate file to make it easier to update. Also added the option to unlock the IWD alert frame and move it via /iwd menu (requested). Cleaned up the chat alerts and options menu.
- v1.3.9 Stable version; full FuBar support (working!). Bug fixes and zone code cleaned up. Added some code to auto-join WorldDefense in case your not in that channel. Changed debugging code to help track future problems (touch wood etc). Added TBC zones I've collected into the main array.
- v1.3.8-r1 fixes the debug spam, and also fixes a bug I wasnt aware of that meant you coulnd't toggle zone/subzone text properly. Enabling/Disabling IWD from the options screen will throw an error but it still works. I'm looking into this. Again, looked into the FuBar code and it's almost complete.
- v1.3.8 implements a new tracking system to record new zones (primarily Outland areas) to further improve the zone definition list. FuBar support has been tweaked in this version too so hopefully it's working a little better now. I'm still working on adding more options.
- v1.3.7.1b fixes error message related to unresolved FuBar issue.
- Completely rewrote FuBar support
- Fixed colour coding on FuBar
- Added option to mute normal alert in favour of FuBar-only alerts
- Added audio alert option
- Added tooltip to FuBar plugin to display location details
- Added flashing icon to FuBar that will indicate attack severity

Yes, it shows incomputable here as well.

In the .TOC file change the TOC number to 20400. I accidentally missed out one zero.

txxnnok Order of the Horde Forum posts: 13 File comments: 28 Uploads: 0	Tattooedpierre, I am having the same probem of it coming up incompatible to. I thought maybe its because im running Vista. I did have to download a zipmanager,because vista wasnt allowing me to unzip it for some reason. The libs 0kb file was interfering with Libs file folder and the same for the 0kb file in the Libs folder Ace,fubar and tablet. when I tried to take out the 0kb files. it would say there is already a file named Libs and was given the option to try again,cancel or quit. It installed just fine with the zipmanager, but I was getting an incompatible in the add ons list. It didn't work at without the zipmanager. Any thoughts? thanks __________________ Give me WOW or give me Death

I appreciate your concern, but I'm not going to have this removed. Feel free to use it. I'm just angry when people think addons are all public domain and they can do whatever the hell they want with the code. I've had literally about 5 or 6 addons of mine copied like this, and it's getting old.

My addon has never ceased being functional.

There was no need to continue working on it further because it does what it is supposed to do. Bloating addons with a bunch of garbage is not my style.

If you want to fork somebody's work, the polite (and legal) way to do it is to ASK for permission. I would have granted it on the conditions that you had named your addon something else and credited me + linked to my addon in your addon's description.
