We Don't Wipe  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 5.10
by: Taraezor [More]

Description
A fully featured and configurable DPS maximiser. Displays a sequence of icons, representing the order in which you should use your abilities so that maximum DPS may be achieved.

By itself, We Don't Wipe does nothing. You must separately download the modules.

Works great in 7.1 Return to Karahzan!

Supported Class/Specialisations
* Windwalker Monks Updated for Legion!
* Arcane Mages Planned for Legion!
* Fire Mages Updated for Legion!
* Frost Mages Updated for Legion!
* Havoc Demon Hunters New for Legion!
* Enhancement Shaman Updated for Legion!
* Elemental Shaman Planned for Legion!
* Hunter Planned for Legion!

(Perhaps others for Legion)

How to Instal
Download the latest We Don't Wipe. Instal like any other AddOn. Download one or more modules. Instal like any other AddOn. Some modules required the Hard Yards AddOn.

How to Configure
When first launched, and providing you are not in combat, you will see a set of overlapping tiles at one side of your screen. This is the template to create your queue pattern. Slide these tiles around. The tiles tend to snap together. It is very intuitive. When you are done, enter the following in chat to toggle off the template display: /wdw ooc

To see a full list of configuration commands, enter "/wdw" in chat. Appending a " ?" to the end of any command will bring up more helpful information about the command.

My Hand Held Setup FAQ page might also be of help.

Priority Queues (aka Rotations)
Each module is built upon popular and authoritative sequences sourced form places such as Icy Veins. I then add in support for any other talents / abilities which significantly affect single target DPS.

Abilities with longer cool downs, say about 120s, will usually have a parameter to enable/disable from the rotation. To see a module's list of parameters enter "/wdw listp" in chat. To adjust enter "/wdw setr parm1=xxx,parm2=zzz,parm3=...".

If You Like We Don't Wipe
While adventuring, map your way with X and Y and keep track of Sunrise & Sunset, pickup a great raptor pet with Adorable Hatchling Nests, search for Netherwing Eggs, hunt for achievement critters and NPCs with Rare Love, try Tip to enhance your Tooltips, go the Hard Yards, the most accurate way to measure distance, use This Scampi Happening for fish flavoured Tooltips, or Yarrr for pirate Tooltips, and instal Let Minnow to show off your fishing poles! You Cod Do Batter for fishing achievements and you'll need Dark Soil for The Tillers friendships and a Loose Pebble for your Dog! When you turn geek, turn to Fibonacci! Who wipes? We Don't Wipe, an excellent DPS maximiser!

Cookies, Beer & Donations
It is all about the Cookies & Beer although, and don't let Gallywix know about this, a "thank you" in the comments section fuels my programming appetite and is very much appreciated. And then, you could cut straight to Click here to lend your support! because as Gallywix would say... "time is money, friend".

Love for this?

While my monk and frost mage seem to work fine, my havoc demon hunter has serious issues with his rotation. However, I've noticed that not only has this not gotten any updates, you've taken it out of your signature where you mention all your addons. I can appreciate being too busy, or it being too difficult, but please answer if you're going to keep this addon going? It's helped me immensely, and thus I acknowledge that I apparently need something to tell me what to do. If I need to find another, I'd like to know so I can do it now (when things are relatively mature for the expac, and thus easy to evaluate across different addons.)

Thank you for all your work, regardless!

Yay! Update!

Thank you for this in particular, as Incanter's Flow is what I have chosen on that line.

Re: Re: Talent Icons in cooldown options pane

Ok, I'm very confused. I went onto both mage and monk a few times yesterday, with other logins in between, and saw the icons for (respectively) Alter Time and Power Strikes in the cooldowns, and on the cooldown option pane for wdw (I haven't dl'ed cool aid yet, as I'm still trying to figure out one thing at a time.) Today, neither of them are there, and I have not yet installed the update. I'm not asking for them to be there - I didn't understand why they were there when I didn't have them. 'Sample' explains it all, thank you.

Off to try to figure more things out.... My apologies if I'm being overly confused/confusing.

While I don't want it right now, I would like to possibly be able to pick it up at some later point if I change my talents.

The same is true of Alter Time on the mage cooldowns.
Edit: Works for Alter Time. WDW is definitely refreshing its "cached" list of known spells when you alter your talents.

WDW does NOT include Power strikes as WDW ignores *all* passive abilities. It would have to be included in WDW as a special exception I guess. I could do that in a future update.

Edit: Added even more text to the Cool Aid description, about looking up (with Wowhead) things like Power Strikes. Players are directed to Cool Aid for more detailed information.

So if your computer gives that "time out" error from Blizzard's servers on a Mage module then I would think your WW module is doomed. You don't need to be a programmer, just take one look at the code and you will see there is some heavy optimising and managing of Chi and power happening. Word of warning!
I assume that if I've set it off (/wdw off) that it's not activating/using up cycles. How about if I have it hidden? (/wdw hid)

I expect I'm doing something wrong, but I'm having problems in the cooldown options. I can't figure out how to move an icon from being shown to being excluded. An example is Power Strikes. In the cooldown pane, it's in the 'shown cooldowns' section. If I click the icon, I get buttons in the Shown section, but not in the Exclude section. If I click on an icon in the 'contains' section, I get buttons in both. Ok, the dropdown has 'spellbook' and Power Strikes is a talent that I did not choose. There is no 'talent' option in the drop down bar. At this point I'm guessing that I need to go to WoWhead and find the spell id number to put that in the box when 'spell id' is chosen in the dropdown. Is this correct?

I have a similar problem with Alter Time for my mage.

My mage is both arcane and frost

I run mostly frost, but arcane is my offspec. I'm assuming that installing both will have the correct one work depending on my spec? Or is there something else I need to do?

I've downloaded the module for windwalker monk also, and was planning on having the mage module(s) 'unchecked' in the addons pane. That wouldn't work when it's one character with two modules.

This will mean turning off any fancy bug capturing AddOns too. They simply aren't necessary from my point of view.
I get all that, really. And I'm happily ignoring it. But I'm not going to turn off the bug catcher addon, because otherwise things that are problems for me won't get reported at all. And some things *are* just problems for me, but some are not.

Right. I get that. Unfortunately for me, typing /reload usually - as in, 90% of the time - results in me being disconnected from the server. Yes, my machine is that old. I cope. I realize that it's the accepted fix for this addon. I realize that I'm an outlier. I also know that this addon is doing things that none of my other addons do, which probably explains why a reload after /wdw off is needed to turn it back on, whereas it isn't needed for my other addons that can be turned on/off, hidden/showed.

I did see the options panel. Since this is new to me, I don't know what much of it means, and so I left it as-was. As I learn how it works, I expect I'll be adjusting it.

My game client usually crashes completely when it has that level of memory issue. I had no problem continuing to run. I also have a small monitor that displays my cpu/memory/swap usage, which I check whenever the machine seems to be having problems, and it wasn't pegging anything. *shrug* if it happens again, I'll see if there's something else going on.

Bingo! In the early 2000s it was a high end business-aimed machine by IBM. Thinkcentre is the model. Now, it's a machine my husband salvaged from work when they were being replaced, with maxed memory (4g!), a new(er) video card, and a 2 TB drive. It's what I have, and thus it's what I use. Which is why, after the first 'script too long' errors were explained (and a couple of addon authors changed things so that even I had very few of them anymore, I thank them very much), I stopped mentioning those errors in particular, because they are obviously *my* problem. I will sometimes mention them in passing to an author whose work I'm just starting to use, in case it *isn't* just me, which is why I mentioned them in this case.

Thanks for answering in detail. I have an actual question unrelated to this that I've put in another post.

More confusion (I specialize in it)

I'm having problems that I can't reproduce, so it's difficult to figure them out.

/wdw off at first did nothing - it didn't turn anything off, it did not even move the cursor line, it was like I hadn't hit return, with the 'type here' window still open with /wdw off displaying.

I tried hitting return again, and got Swatter displaying "Global" and when I looked there it was a 'script ran too long' error, which is probably just the fact that my machine is slow, except that I only usually get these when in combat.

Code:

AddOns:

   (LONG LIST OF ADDONS REMOVED - LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE)

  BlizRuntimeLib_enUS v6.2.0.60200 <none>
  (ck=1164)
I tried, a third time, and this time the main row of icons disappeared, but the two rows of 7 mini icons remained on my screen. I tried /wdw on, which told me I'd have to reload all my addons - which, frankly, is *awful* tho I realize it might be mandated by something blizz does, tho my few other addons that have an on/off switch don't need reloading. For me, I frequently disconnect when reloading, so having to do that is bad.

I did, however, type /wdw rel and to my great surprise did *not* get disconnected. However, /wdw hid does nothing that I can see. For now, I've got it moved to the side, and will move it more central when I need to use it. I know you said it's having issues with WoD, so I'm not mentioning the bazillion 'attempted to do something during combat' errors I'm finding.

I did realize that I was *still* in combat, through the reload and being away from the combat dummy in my garrison. I ran a bit farther toward the center of the garrison, and suddenly had a rectangular translucent grey frame with nothing in it, covered by a slightly wider, full-height-of-my-client translucent grey frame with a green bar across the top, which, when hovered over, gave a tip "skill in archaeology". THese two were covered by swatter actually popping up an error window that had complaints about WDW again, and about Archy trying to use a library included in Postal. Confusingly enough, I have archy turned off on this alt.

I could dismiss the swatter box, and I could move the tall frame a little and found an X to close it, but the small rectangular frame is still on my screen, with no way to close it. Hitting escape does nothing to it. Screenshot of the final box here: http://imgur.com/Dsv8VK0

I am, however, finally out of combat.

Hope this is helpful, rather than confusing...

A very important question...

Never mind. When I went back in, it dragged quite politely. No clue why it didn't work the first time.

confused,
-Barleduq

<s>I installed this (and now need to turn it off on everything but my mage ) and I have one important question.

I keep getting lines in my chat that say, paraphrased, "you can now move We Don't Wipe!"

....

how? There are no placement options (that i can find) in the interface > addons > we don't wipe panes. Right or left clicking on the icons doesn't grab them to move them. Nor does doing that with any of control, shift, or alt. When I tried using combos of those three meta keys, I somehow managed to lose my screen and had to kill wow from the task manager to get it back. (I assume that was something with the OS, possibly moving it to a different workspace, but I couldn't find any other workspaces....)

Clue, please?
-Bar
desperate for some clue as to how to play a mage.
Especially as it was the "Free L90 Toon" from WoD...</s>

WDW *still* causes a protection error BUT provided you ignore the error message at the start of combat, WDW will then function flawlessly BUT it is still distracting to players as they assume the AddOn is totally broken.

I can relate to using an old computer. I have old and new at home. WoW looks glorious the first time you see it on ultra settings (sorry lol). My 2009 iMac runs WoW just fine. Guess we're kinda brothers as at the heart of my Mac systems at home is unix after all!
Wow. How suckful. Commisserations all around. Let me know if you ever do start working on those, and I'll be happy to be a tester.

And you'd be surprised how many people don't know that OSX is unix - I saw on a website the other day, "Making it work for Windows was enough. Mac and Linux? Making it work for 3 operating systems was more than we want to take on." Glad to find someone with a clue!

I'm not sure where to look...

are you working on other classes? I'd love to see hunter (bm, mainly), warrior (fury), and rogue (sub and assassination, I think are what I use there). If you have them, please point me to them?

I'm happy to find something that's focussed on minimizing impact onto the system. With a 9yo computer, running Linux, I need all the help I can get!

Version "4" to signify a break with the old way


Whatever you do, do NOT install minion... If you do, do it on a computer you are ready to throw away.

I will NOT use libraries like "Ace" as some players need to keep their AddOns very lean and efficient.

I am one such player, struggling along on 5 to 7 fps if full screen mode on lowest possible graphic settings.
Not having been a published addon author, I can't say for sure, but if you included the Core addon into each module installer, would that work without overwriting other modules also installed ... or just include every module you've got. I'm sure we can handle an extra 27k per spec!
