DamageMeters

Version: 5.8.9

by: twobits [More]

Maintainers:
Up to 5.8.3 was AnduinLothar
Up to version 5.0.0 was Dandelion

Summary:
DamageMeters monitors damage and healing done by and to yourself and other nearby players. It keeps a running total for each player and displays the information as a bars chart in a frame on the screen. It is perfect for real-time comparison of the various members of your party or raid. At any time the text results can be output as "says", to raid or party chat, or whispered to another player. Many console commands exist for customizing the meters: type "/dm help" for a listing.

FAQ:

Q: Why the "-AL"?
A: Dandelion, the orig author, has retired from WoW. AnduinLothar (me) modified v5.0.0 from Cosmos because that version works with English, German and French clients. AnduinLothar has no long term plans to enhance functionality and would gladly hand over maintenance to someone else, but decided DamageMeters had a large enough user base that it deserved to be updated to use the 1.12 addon communication API.

Q: MY DM WINDOW DISSAPPEARED!
A: Use "/dm resetpos". This should make the DM frame visible and put it against the right side of the screen.

Q: What happened to the "Reset Each Combat" option?
A: It was made irrelevant. DamageMeters now keeps in essence two full sets of information: one normal, and one set that applies only to the latest fight. This second set, the Fight set, is what provides the information for the DPS, HPS, DTPS, and HTPS quantities. Those quantities are basically the normal quantities but divided by the duration of the fight. If you turn off the "Visible Quantity\Show Fight Data As Per/Second" option you have what is in essence the same thing as what you had before with the "Reset Each Combat" option.

Q: Why can't DM just automatically sync?
A: v5.1.0 has a BETA auto-sync option. This will sync when you lave combat once every three (3) minutes. In previous versions this was left out for the following reasons: Primarily because sync'ing takes a long time. There is just a lot of data to transmit, and since WoW likes to boot clients that send data too quickly DM transmits it slowly. If you are having problems with frame lag or being disconnected randomly you should disable auto-sync and do it manually after boss fights.

How about this also, fore Ready, Pause, Clear... have a little pop up dialog that askes you yse or no.. if 50% say yes it takes effect. also, don't pause it when the session id is changed. probably a idea for 6.0 but it would be nice to have more then 1 meter open at once displaying different data.

Personally, I'd be happy if they'd just turn on the option to clear the data when joining a group, but someone always seems to join with old data anyway. Is there any way to make it only sync with people actually in your session?

I might add an option to ignore syncs completely.

I can also add a 'Request Session ID', but I'm not sure that's a great idea. The only way it would work is if you either requested from a specific person or did a ping from everyone and picked the most popular id.

Can you think of any good robust way to impliment it so that you can still sync, but not pollute the data with the wrong session?

I could make an option to only sync with people that have the same session id. Then only "/dmsyncstart <id>" could change your id or clear your data.. would that work? only problem is then if you join late you dont have the session id... maybe have an option for anon sync that doesn't clear your data if you have a different session... It'd still mean you'd have to get the session id somewhere... I'd have to add another option to announce session id without starting a new session... course you could just ask someone else to sync...

Irontygre A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	A couple issues I experienced last night during raid. I, along with 25 of my guildmates, upgraded to 5.1.1 from 5.0.0 for our raid. The '/dmsync e' command seems to be transmitting data too quickly. About 12 of the people will crash consistently when a '/dmsync e' is issued. This problem does not occur with the standard '/dmsync' command. The DM doesn't ever seem to do a complete sync. There were 39 people in the raid and active last night, but after a full trash clear period and a synchronization afterwards, there were only 32 entires on the meter. The entries missing were inconsistent across the raid, and this issue would not resolve itself with a '/dmsync'.

Actually mine's bugged out now too. I get no dps bars for anyone in the raid as if I have my meter paused (when I know it isn't) and occassionally after a fight it will update. Others are reporting this as well. I've had it happen on 2 of my computers. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know. Also is there a way to stop the post fight sync channel parsing to not appear in my general window?

Kuonrât A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Hey AduinLothar, good job so far. But many people are missing an entry on Curse-Gaming. Would you be so kind to make a Damage Meters profile on Curse-Gaming? If you don't like I would update it for you: http://www.curse-gaming.com/de/wow/a...ersal-511.html Otherwise tell me, then I delete mine.

I wonder because it will be hard to convince my guildmates to update to the channel-free version otherwise. Most of them use the german client.

This version is English based and has German localization. AFAIK the German works fine. If you can supply a French localization that works I'll add it.

Despraci A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	The problem with people getting two red lines above the DM interface is related to either Honor Role or Infobar. I am suspecting HonorRole sinceit stopped working. I did have time to really track the problem yet. But if I find a free hour or two I will try and narrow it down a little more
