Diplomancer  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 7.0.3.0
by: Talyrius, Phanx

Changes your watched faction based on your current location.
Verändert die angezeigte Fraktion basierend auf dem aktuellen Standort.

Diplomancer changes your watched faction as soon as you enter a particular area, instead of waiting until you gain reputation with a faction like most other faction-switching addons. It also recognizes faction champion tabards inside appropriately-leveled dungeons.

When you find yourself in a location without an associated faction — for example, if you’re a troll taking a weekend camping trip in the lovely Redridge Mountains — Diplomancer will watch your race’s faction. If you would prefer to watch another faction instead of your race’s faction in these cases, you can choose your own default faction.

Type “/dm” for options, or browse to the Diplomancer panel in the Interface Options window.
Feature Requests
I consider Diplomancer to be complete, and will probably not add any new features. If you would like to suggest something anyway, feel free to submit a suggestion ticket describing your idea.

Note: Support for the new, non-tabard champion system added in Patch 5.2 is planned, but not implemented yet.
Bug Reports
If you encounter a problem with Diplomancer, please try some quick troubleshooting steps, and then submit a bug report to let me know about the problem.

Please copy this list into your ticket and fill in as much of the requested information as you can.
  • Diplomancer version number
  • WoW language and patch number
  • Character race and level
  • Zone and subzone you are in when the problem happens
  • Faction tabard you are wearing when the problem happens, if any
  • Description of the problem
    Be specific! It’s nearly impossible to include too much information!
  • Steps I can follow to reproduce the problem
  • Whether the problem happens when all other addons are disabled
  • Exact text of the first related error message, if any
    Please do not include any lists of local variables or installed addons that your error display may add!
  • Screenshot, if the problem is graphical
Remember to check on your ticket after a few days, as I may need more information from you in order to find and fix the problem!
Language Support
Compatible with all languages. Translated into English, Deutsch, Espańol, Français, Italiano, Portuguęs, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 繁體中文.

To add or update translations for Diplomancer, enter them on the Diplomancer localization page on CurseForge, and then leave a comment, or send me a PM here or on CurseForge, to let me know that you’ve made changes. If you don’t have a Curse account and don’t want to create one, you can PM me your translations instead. Thanks!

To add or update translations for subzone names, see the WowAce project page for LibBabble-SubZone-3.0. If your language is not yet supported by this library, Diplomancer will run with only partial functionality.

Sounds great!

Do you know if it will work on clients with other languages than enGB or enUS?

In other words, are there any API IDs you can trace for the zones or are you recognizing the zones by their names?

Currently it will only work in English locales; I'll update the description. In order for it to work in other locales, I would need a full translation of the zone, subzone, and faction names. I could use Babble libraries for the zones and factions, but I would still need to gather translations for all of the specific subzones. Unlike items, quests, and spells, there are no unique IDs for areas of the game world that can be used to avoid actual translations.

If you play in a non-English locale and are willing to spend a bit of time gathering subzone names for me, that'd be great.

Edit: For a more complete explanation, and detailed instructions on how you can help, I've created a Diplomancer Localization Info page.

Thank you for this detailed information! I was not aware that subzones etc. could not be identified by ID. The same problem was with all the quests before patch 2.4 brought us the quest IDs. ;-)

I am not sure if I will be able to help you on localizing it to other languages, because I do not play much at the time. I once knew a site which did nothing but translate names from one WoW client-language to another... but I lost the link and it probably is gone now... how unfortunate

Maybe somebody should extend these excellent tables here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Localization_Info

And Babble 2.2 does already make use of subzones to learn about instances... maybe you can trigger them making a subzone plugin or extend the zone plugin itself... ;-)

If I can provide you with new information, I'll send it to you. Keep on coding

The problem with using the very few subzone names in Babble is that I would have to maintain some kind of list about which subzones to translate with Babble and which to translate with a standalone list, which would be way more work than just maintaining a standalone list, and still wouldn't make the addon work for subzones, since I need ALL subzone names, not just a few instance-related ones.

The problem with creating a Babble library for subzones is that I've never seen another addon that needed subzone names, making such a list a poor choice for a shared library. It would also still require volunteers from each locale to provide the translated names of each subzone.

Yes I see the problem and I understand that you need a complete list of subzonennames. Maybe the need of *your* addon for such a list would be enough to make babble do such a list... which might lead other addons to make use of what is collected there... babble is widely uses by many addons.

I believe in synergy ;-)

Nobody "makes" Babble do anything. Additionally, there's another, rather huge, problem with creating a Babble library for subzones -- my addon only needs translations for a relatively small subset of existing subzones, while a Babble library would need to contain names for every single subzone in the game. Do you think people would be more willing to contribute translations to a list that contained probably in the neighborhood of 1000 subzone names, or to a list that contains only 64 subzone names?

Where were you when you logged in? What race is your character? What locale (language) do you play in? Also, please type "/dm verbose" to enable chat frame output, and relog; tell me what, if anything, is printed in the chat frame. (If you have any general chat mods, you may need to disable them to avoid overwriting messages printed early in the loading process.)

The variable "faction" shouldn't be a global there (that is my mistake) but it shouldn't be able to be nil either.

Hi,

I had previously placed a bug report here for the same reason as zedbg. I've tested again today and got the same issue so set verbose mode and logged out and back in, no errors at all. Restared WoW and still no errors (this is with PhanxChat switch off by the way) so I deleted my saved variables and tried again. With verbose mode not switched on the same error pops up at every logon.

Code:
			["message"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\Diplomancer\\Core.lua:127: attempt to concatenate global 'faction' (a nil value)",
			["count"] = 1,
			["addons"] = <snip>
			["timestamp"] = "2008-08-31 15:53:24",
			["context"] = "Global",
			["stack"] = "[C]: ?\nInterface\\AddOns\\Diplomancer\\Core.lua:127: in function `Update'\nInterface\\AddOns\\Diplomancer\\Core.lua:56: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\Diplomancer\\Core.lua:30>\n(tail call): ?\n",
		}, -- [1]
My initial bug report was for a Blood Elf in Silvermoon City whilst this latest one is still a Blood Elf, but in Ghostlands. I also tested with a Blood Elf in Shattrath and got the same error, so it looks like Diplomancer doesn't like Blood Elfs as no other race gave me any errors.

Hmm. Well, I think I know what the problem is after reading your bug report, but I'm not sure how it's happening. The problem (I believe) is caused by Diplomancer attempting to watch a faction you don't have listed in your Reputation window, or a faction that you've marked Inactive. Did you mark Silvermoon City as Inactive in the Blizzard repuation panel? I'm guessing so, which means the check I'll add for the next version should fix the issue.

I've just rechecked and sorry to say that no, Silvermoon wasn't marked as inactive on any of my characters.

Edit: I should add that I also checked and I have no factions marked as inactive at all.

Of course it wouldn't be that simple! I'll post the version with the additional check anyway; if you still get the error after that, I'll walk you through enabling some extra debug messages that may shed some light on the problem.

Does it only happen when logging a Blood Elf character in while in Silvermoon City?

The error happens every time I log a Blood Elf in. I have tested today in the following areas Silvermoon City, Eversong Woods, Ghostlands, Shattrath, Thunder Bluff, Everlook, Area 52 and Shadowmoon Valley. I haven't been able to test other races in Silvermoon, but have never encountered an issue with any race apart from Blood Elf.

Copy the following script command and paste it in-game on your blood elf. Tell me what it says.

Code:
/run local LR, ER = UnitRace("player"); ChatFrame1:AddMessage('"'..LR..'", "'..ER..'"")
(Yes, I could do it myself, but I'm posting from a wind rider... so if you happen to do it first, cool, otherwise, I'll do it later. )

I tried by pasting in the above and got an error pop up about an unfinished string near <eof>. Took a closer look and assumed that ('"'..LR..'", "'..ER..'"") should have been (""..LR..", "..ER.."") which gave an output in the chat frame of:

Blood Elf, BloodElf
Hopefully my assumption was correct and this will help identify the issue.
