Aloft Alpha

Version: Aloft-5.3.2-alpha3

by: acapela [More]

This is a "development" version of Aloft (the nameplate addon). Please refer to the main page for that addon for a comprehensive description.

This is an ALPHA release. That means it has not had a substantial amount of testing under all circumstances. By installing this version, you are basically agreeing to help test . Please report any/all bugs with this release in the comments section of this WoWInterface addon page.

This version of Aloft is functionally identical to Aloft-5.2.8-2574.

This version of Aloft is updated to work with WoW "6", aka "Warlords of Draenor", currently in beta test. All modules have been enabled, LUA errors fixed (mainly to do with obsolete spell IDs), and all the basics seem to work on the WoW 6.X PTR. There were not many changes required.

I now have Beta access, so am incorporating that into my testing.

This version of Aloft will probably not work on current live realms... there is at least one new spell that doesn't exist there yet (Storm Elemental Totem), plus several that have been removed.

5.3.2-alpha3 (Warlords of Draenor)
- fixed cast bar LUA error and configuration mode update issues
- updated Ace3 to latest/greatest (r1114)[/color]

5.3.1-alpha2 (Warlords of Draenor)
- updated/fixed "Nameplate Glow>Recently Damaged Only" functionality

5.3.0-alpha1 (Warlords of Draenor)
- for WoW 6.X PTR and WoD Beta

5.0.1-2418 (Mists of Pandaria)
- enhanced to cover monk/brewmaster tanking
- added a check to avoid divide-by-zero problems in the stacked points (combo points/etc) module
- fixed some divide-by-zero problems in threat management (the MoP threat system seems to zero out perdiodically, during fights)

5.0.0-2404 (Mists of Pandaria)
- changed GetNumRaidMembers() to GetNumGroupMembers()
- changed GetNumPartyMembers() to GetNumSubgroupMembers()
- changed (MiniMapBattlefieldFrame.status == "active") effectively to (select(IsInInstance(), 2) == "pvp")
- updated Shaman totem manifest and spell IDs
- added Monk class color (0x00ff96), class name, and associated options, to code and documentation
- added Pandaren race short form
- verified crowd control spell IDs, added Shaman "Bind Elemental" to crowd control spell IDs
- combined obsolete PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED/RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE events into new GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE event
- no changes to Aloft related to GetGuildRosterInfo() (Aloft doesn't use all the arguments), or UnitIsGroupLeader() (Aloft previously updated away from deprecated functions)
- no apparent changes related to GetBattlefieldScore()/GetWhoInfo()/GetFriendInfo()

- TODO: add brewmaster tanking characteristics (for nameplate glow control)
- TODO: hunter trap snakes (specifically "Viper"; E/W Plaguelands and Uldum) and (possibly) DK bloodworms now seem to have names in common with some normal NPCs

4.4.9
- updated the cast warning module to detect animation update interval of 0 and use OnUpdate directly, instead of AceTimer-3.0 (seemns marginally faster/smoother)
- updated LibBabble-Faction-3.0 to latest/greatest (4.3-release32)
- updated Ace3 to latest/greatest (r1057)

4.4.2-2308
- merged in zhTW localization contributed by WoWInterface user aa9012456.

Hey. I noticed that when you enable the cast bar time modual, it doesn't let me ove the anchor/align point from the right to the left. I wanted it on the left but when I try to change it, the option is faded out and won't let me click on it and I can't find a way around it. I've downloaded the very latest version so I think its a bug.

looks like you are right. looks like some option enable/disable code is interacting with the Blizzard standard "Combat>Cast Bars>On Nameplates" interface option incorrectly. i will work on this.

edit: yeah, typos in some of this code. i will go through it all, get it fixed/tested, though it will probably be a day or two before i get it released. if i get time, i will also play around with a workaround to the "stuttering cast bar" problem.

Also the casting bar seems very unsmooth and jumps instead of a perfect cast bar. Whats the reason for that? Is there any way to fix that to make it better?

this definitely needs a FAQ (seems like someone has this question at least once a week... not their fault, i just need to get this into the FAQ).

Aloft's cast bar is slaved to Blizzard's nameplate cast bar (which is hidden due to graphical artifacts that arise from allowing the user to reskin the cast bar). every time Blizzard reports a value change, Aloft updates the visible cast bar. my guess is: Blizzard is not updating very often for you. for myself, i have never been able to reproduce this problem (i see 8+ updates per second). only some folks seem to have a problem with this, but it doesn't seem limited to high-load situations (like raids or PvP... the people that see it see it everywhere).

there are some workarounds that i want to try, but i have not had a chance to do that yet (time has been in short supply the last couple of months, and there always seem to be higher-priority issues to work on).

Instead of setting both anchoring positions to the Right, I set them both to the Left and just moved the icon across to the right hand side and that seems to have fixed the problem. The problem with the level text appearing on top of the boss skull icon is still there though.

i will try swapping around the attachment point and see if i can reproduce. thanks for the additional information.

Hey, love the addon it great, I've just noticed a couple of bugs with the new alpha version that I thought I should report.

the screenshots are good (and the fact that they reproduce with things like training dummies is good). i will go try to reproduce.

in the meantime, let me know what version of WoW you are using (i assume WoW 4.0.6), and Aloft (4.2.7-2143). i check for basic functionality each time the PTR is updated, but i have not had time to test exhaustively there.

demonizer_7 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Two bugs with alpha Hey, love the addon it great, I've just noticed a couple of bugs with the new alpha version that I thought I should report. How I've set Aloft up: Dummy pic: http://img863.imageshack.us/f/screenshotnorm.jpg/ 1st bug: A random level pops up over the boss skull icon. The level that pops up over the skull icon can be 60, 70, 80 or 85 randomly. This seems to occur most of the time when a boss' name plate comes into view. Dummy pic: http://img821.imageshack.us/f/screenshotlevelprob.jpg/ 2nd bug: The state elite dragon moves places to some default position lower than where I've set it to. It occurs quite alot when an elite name plate comes into view and occurs also when an elite is attacking you and then suddenly changes target (ie by threat). Sometimes pressing "v" to hide nameplates then pressing "v" to show them again fixes the problem for that particular elite but it may occur again at the next elite (in a dungeon for example). Dummy pic: http://img153.imageshack.us/f/screenshoteliteprob1.jpg/ Dungeon pic: http://img163.imageshack.us/f/screenshoteliteprob2.jpg/ I've messed around with some of the options but it doesn't seem to help so I thought I'd share the problem with you. Thanks.

yeah, let's do that. i am guessing that i am just not going to be able to reproduce this, but it is worth a try.

i will also take a look at the version numbers of the addons we have in common, to make sure we are not wildly out of sync on anything.

thanks.

Seems the options addon is yet another one of those that somehow defaults to 'off' in the addon control panel. =/ So far at least I've noticed improved fps but I don't know if that's this addon's fault or not. I'm turning friendly back on for all environments (even battlegrounds and raids where it's crashed me before) and we'll see how it works out. I have another raid tomorrow night. __________________ “I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” — Bilbo Baggins, from his speech on his eleventy-first birthday.
