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

EDIT: On second thought; whilst I like the idea it's not possible AFAIK since WorldDefense does not provide this information to IWD.

EDIT2: I'm being silly.. not enough caffeine.. I'll look into this for you

Dunno though, it's just something you may want to look into. Thanks for picking this up either way.

Ok I'm working on adding the zone names just now. I'm not too sure about Ace2. I usually find Ace2 mods faster and smaller than others, however, IWD is tiny in itself so I'm not sure it would be that useful as I really don't intend on adding too much to IWD. It's one of the main reasons I like it so much; it's small and does what it set out to do and no more.

PS : If you get any errors in regards to zone names, please let me know so I can add them! I don't think the zone list is quite complete; especially for Alliance side!

It wasn't a flawless system but it worked pretty well. I have a 60 horde and 60 alliance so this is pretty complete, probably not 100% but close. Last edited by Mycroft77 : 12-01-06 at 12:47 PM.

Thanks for that

I'll add it in tonight.

I doubt this is the only zone not known by the mod, but hopefully you could add it in and possibly some coding to prevent the error message from appearing once per second until I disable IWD. Thanks in advance.

Uldaman? I had purposefully removed all instances cos I didn't think they'd ever be attacked! But I'll add them back in. I'll also look into the Debug error message. Thanks. Will correct it tonight.

EDIT: Is this a non-english client you're using? Zones names have not been translatedd.. but i'm not sure that you would have to do this..

I realise space could be an issue so I'd like to get a feel for how much you're willing to give up

Mycroft77 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 18 Uploads: 1	As far as the fubar support goes; first, I'd like an option to disable the default display above chatframe1 (as I don't need it since the info is on the FuBar). As far as the information I'd like to see on the bar, just the zone - subzone and number of hits is all I need to know, but it'd be nice to have the fubar tooltip have zone - subzone, number of hits, and last time hit for let's say the top 5 attacks. If a zone has more than 5 attacks color it yellow, and more than 10 go red maybe. As it stands now, it looks like this: IWD: Rebel Camp in Stranglethorn Vale (02:14) I'd like to see something like IWD: Rebel Camp - Stranglethorn Vale [4] and have the last time of attack on the tooltip. Also, if there are no attacks within 5 minutes or so, set the info back to IWD: -none- Also there seems to be a small bug in that I cannot disable the fubar icon (keeps coming back even after I turn it off). Tooltip info could look something like: Rebel Camp - Stranglethorn Vale [4] last attack 02:14 ago Ironforge - Ironforge [1] last attack 02:34 ago Deeprun Tram - Deeprun Tram [30] last attack 24:32 ago etc etc Looking great so far though, keep up the good work.

tattooedpierre An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 38 File comments: 95 Uploads: 4	Thanks for the input I've uploaded 1.3.6b with some additions; notably the option to use only FuBar text for notification and also to colorise your FuBar text based on your prefernces from /iwd. Thanks for your suggestions. EDIT: There are various new bugs I've discovered.. Please use v1.3.4 of IWD if you do not want FuBar support for now; until I can iron out these issues. Sorry! (otherwise, IWD may not behave well) Last edited by tattooedpierre : 12-16-06 at 06:49 PM.
