Your wording has me somewhat confused. Specifically, that first sentence kind of doesn't make sense (mostly in a grammatical way). Am I correct in that you are saying Armory does not have the ability to open a specific character window with "/ar CharacterName"? I'm sorry - your wording is very confusing here.

In key bindings I've set Alt-A to pop-up Armory and Alt-PgUp / PgDn to switch characters. Since the comparison tooltips use Alt as well it is easy to browse through your toons that way.
After some mucking around, I get part of what you're saying here - holding ALT will pop up the comparison tooltip for the character currently selected in the Armory display. There's just two issues here:

1) I have to hold ALT to view the tooltip the way I want to. Is there a way to make this automatic instead, like Character Profiler used to do?

2) When using the ALT tooltip, the Armory tooltip (the ALT version) gets displayed on top of my current character's own tooltip, rendering both unreadable. This one is somewhat easy to figure out - Armory isn't playing nice with EquipCompare. Outfitter has an option to not use its own comparison tooltips but instead allow EquipCompare (and other addons like it) to use their own tooltips. Armory has no such option.

I run achievement / statistic updates in a separate "thread" so big frame drops are not to be expected but it will use an extra (temporary) memory block. Besides that it is a lot of data so if memory is your concern this module is good candidate to disable.
I'm not too concerned about RAM use. I've only ever hit the 200 MB wall once, and that was using an earlier version of Recount that was...shall we say, excessively inefficient (and only on the Ultraxion encounter, which is obscenely combat log intenseive).

I'll try to get a screenshot of the overlapping tooltips put up, since I can't put them inline here via uploading.

Edit: OK, I have a screenshot of problem #2. The right tooltip (the one that says "Currently Equipped") is overlapped by Tiapally's (my paladin) ALT tooltip created by Armory. The left tooltip is the item I'm browsing in the AH to compare to Tiapally's equipped item. As you can see this makes both right side tooltips unreadable.

What I want to ultimately see is the "Currently Equipped" tooltip gone and only the /ar CharacterName tooltip displayed alongside the item I'm mousing over, preferrably without having to hit ALT to pop up the Armory character's tooltips. Obviously I'd have to have Armory's window open in order for that to work, same as Character Profiler did back in the day.

Roger. I'll keep that in mind. I suspect that Armory is taking up more RAM because all pointers are using 64-bit registers, since I'm using the 64-bit client. I don't remember it being this RAM hungry in the 32-bit client. But that's par for the course when using 64-bit stuff. At least Recount works better under the 64-bit client, so that takes less overall CPU (running 32-bit abstraction layers on 64-bit CPUs = not optimal).

The only addon that mirrors any functionality of Armory (that I have installed and running) is Possessions, and I only keep that one around because it's lightweight and much easier to search items in my inventories with it than with Armory (it's literally just /possessions ItemName and the list pops up). Armory replaced the old RGPo Character Profiler from the Cosmos UI set. Armory tracks more, but is less efficient, but then again ...well, it tracks more. A lot more, so that isn't a con/negative as far as I'm concerned.

I did turn off Achievement tracking though. The in-game Achievement tracking bug (with the built in UI) is still present, and since that drops you to 1-2 FPS, I didn't feel the need to have Armory possibly exacerbate any such behaviour, which would be the case until that bug is fixed on Blizzard's part.

Question: Is there a way to open Armory to a specific character profile from the command line? /ar CharacterName doesn't work for me. It'd make it a lot easier than having to /ar and then pull down the menu to select my character or click those tiny arrows in the upper left corner of the window.

Also, on the old Character Profiler, it had a nifty feature I've not seen mirrored anywhere else. I'm sure you're familiar with EquipCompare, and how it compares your equipped item with the one you have mouseover on, right? Well Character Profiler had such an option, but the way it worked on that addon was whichever character you had selected to view, the mouseover item would be compared to that character's items instead of the character you're currently playing. I miss that feature (I used it constantly when browsing the AH for upgrades for alts while buying on a main) Is there any possibility of adding that as an option to Armory?

Here's how it worked:

I'm on Tiapoacher (my hunter). I go do /ar and select Tiapally (my paladin). When I mouseover an item in my bags or the AH while Tiapally's Armory screen is up, the equipment compare tooltip will compare against Tiapally's items instead of Tiapoacher's items.

Combined with EquipCompare's enhanced tooltips and RatingBuster's stat breakdown, I'd be able to browse the AH/inventory/bank for items I could upgrade my alts with. As you can see, I pick and choose my addons to interact with each other as positively as they can while providing the functionality I desire.

I'll have to give /ar debug a try.

I used an add-on called Addon-Profiler once. You can toggle debugging in Armory by using /ar debug to see what happens. When I find some time I'll take a look at it too.

As far as the interaction goes: it's very unlikely both add-ons interact directly. Add-ons can react on the same game events though, but from what you describe I think Recount it invoking a garbage collect explicitly. And that will affect all memory.

Given that info, why is it that the moment I do a /recount reset command that Armory instantly relinquishes all of its used RAM (except the RAM needed for the core addon to remain loaded)? That seems a bit like coincidence. I can forego doing the /recount reset command and until the exact moment I do, whenever that may be, Armory instantly shrinks its RAM profile.

One addon is interacting with the other, that much is clear from the behaviour that occurs when clearing recount's data buffer. The question is, is Armory interacting with Recount, or is Recount interacting with Armory?

Pleaes note I'm not trying to do something like pointing fingers or calling out blame (it's RAM, what's to point fingers at? :P ). I'm just genuinely curious as to why the moment Recount is cleared, so too is Armory's own buffer. This might be something you and Elsia or Cryect might want to discuss. Just these two addons account for 90% of all addon RAM in use, and a command in one addon (Recount) clears the RAM used by the other addon (Armory) with 100% reproducibility.

Finding out why this occurs might be beneficial to those working with a lot of addons, since once you hit 200 MB, either garbage collection kicks in to an extreme or WoW crashes (usually the latter, with the former kicking in at about 150+ MB used).

How's this, I'll see if I can record a snippet where I can show the large amount of RAM both addons use, and during the recording show myself doing the /recount reset command with my cursor showing the mouseover info for the addon RAM use. I'll need to revert to the 32-bit client, but that shouldn't be much of an issue (necessitated by the fact that movie recording is broken in the 64-bit client at the moment).

I may be a bit late to the game, but I'm willing to bet this person has Recount installed.

I've gone from 52 MB addon RAM to over 130 MB addon RAM after just one raid fight. I check the top (ab)users and they're Armory and Recount. The moment I do a /recount reset, Armory's RAM profile drops back down to 3 MB or so.

I'm willing to bet that he's running into a situation where the game client is having to enact its garbage collection on a constant basis due to both Armory and Recount (Armory because of it apparently recording everything Recount does) ballooning in size, necessitating that the client clean up way more frequently than it otherwise would.

And since I have sharing off as well, I'm betting he's just got more addons than I do. Once you reach 150 MB or so in addon RAM used, WoW starts GCing like crazy, and you get the same effect as if you were paging out to disk (thrashing, screen stuttering). It sucks. And if you fail to reset Recount for too long, both it and Armory cause the addon RAM to hit the 200 MB wall and crash the client.

So, since you're one of the Authors for this addon, could you tell me what exactly Armory is copying/parsing from Recount's data? They both go up in the amount of RAM they take by an almost identical amount during combat.

For us old people with busy lives, email is perfect, as we don't have time to fool around with forums.
Just to play devil's advocate here, email may be more convenient on your end, but for a developer's standpoint it is less than useful. Not only do you have to worry if people's addresses are being marked as spam, but also it is difficult to thread the conversations that actually have to do with a bug/feature/discussion. Gmail does make it easier, but the developer sites have a lot of features on the backend that make using their sites and their methods of communication very attractive and efficient, especially for the busy developers who are usually, like the users, juggling "real life" with their hobby of WoW.

I do agree that having to register on a site to post or post bug reports is annoying, and of course having issues with the Curse site's authentication doesn't help anything, but the benefits of registration to both users and developers far outweigh the annoyances (assuming the registration works right, of course).

I would suggest writing to Curse and reporting their registration site's bug. Also you can send a PM on this site to the developer; most authors have email notification for PMs set up but not for comments. Not an ideal solution of course, but when you cannot register to post a bug, it's a good alternative.

Hope this helps!

Limit on number of Guild Banks?

For quite some time now, I have had problems with some, but not all, Guild banks not showing in tooltips. During the rebuild necessary after the latest patch, I found that all was ok until I added the eighth guild. As soon as I did that, other guilds stopped displaying. Sadly, that guild had the same name as two others, so I can't determine if its a shortcoming due to not handling enough guilds, or due to three guilds with the same name. I have previously examined the database manually, and all appeared to be in order.

Also, with regard to filing tickets on curse, it is currently impossible to register there, any attempt returning a "Bad Request" with no further explanation. It was pure luck that I found this site to contact you through, and I would recommend not putting all your eggs in one basket, particularly curse's.
