SMQueue

Version: 8.0r1 (stable)
by: sorcerermerlin [More]

SMQueue

UPDATED for Battle for Azeroth!!!

Description

SMQueue is a small LDB-plugin that was created to keep track of queue times when queueing. It is intended to replace eQueue and be a viable alternative to iQueue. It is a work-in-progress, and is based somewhat on iQueue and eQueue, but includes some additional features.

Requirements

As stated above, SMQueue is a LDB-plugin, which means you will need to have an LDB display AddOn of some sort in order to make use of it. **Otherwise it will not function.** My favorite LDB display AddOn is Bazooka, although there are others out there!

Features

  • Hooks the mouse-over tooltip and displays it on the LDB button instead of the Minimap button (which is hidden). Also allows display of custom tootlip.
  • Has options to mark the tank, send chat messages on dungeon arrival/leaving, leave party after loot is distributed (with confirmation).
  • Has option to sound an alarm at max volume (no matter what current volume is set to) when LFD/LFR proposal is displayed, and flash the screen.
  • Will display time waited of time estimated for selected queue (cycle thru them by left-clicking the LDB buton at any time). Due to the way MoP/5.0.4 changed queues to be able to queue for all things at once, this is the way I have chosen to still show time text. If anyone has a better suggestion or idea, please let me know! Also allows auto-selecting of queue when only in ONE queue, and only displaying queues that are being used.

Known-Issues

SMQueue is stable, however, there are a few things here and there that are not working quite the way I intend for them to do so. Any issues of this nature will be listed/explained here:
  • PVP support is now available, although I am not necessarily qualified to test it, as I don't PvP too often. As far as I am aware, tracking World PvP basically disappeared with MoP/5.0.4 but if anyone can better explain this or has a resolution please let me know!

Reporting Bugs / Feature Requests

Please use the ticketing system for major bugs or issues. If you would like to make a suggestion for a feature, or something similar, post a comment on the page. Thanks!

Slash Commands & Options

You can reach SMQueue's in-game options by going the usual route through Interface Options or using the slash command: /SMQ.

Version 8.0r1:
  • Updated TOC for 8.0/BFA.
  • Re-integrated Ace3 to latest available version.
  • Fixed issue with Intro Chat not being sent to party due a timing/event trigger error.
  • Re-enabled toggle for built-in Blizzard tooltips to be shown on LDB icon.
  • Re-enabled ability to chose default queue to be displayed as LDB text.
  • Tested with multiple situations to determine stability and ease of use.

Hmm, I think I may be the only one with an opinion here sorcerermerlin lol.

In other news, I'm happy to report that hundreds of dungeons later, your addon is still working flawlessly.

I do of course have one question on it though. When you queue up, sometimes the timer reads x:xx/-1:30. The x's being the time in queue, which is working properly. But what about the -1:30? Does the negative number mean that there is an excessive wait time?

Love this addon instead of having one each for dungeons, raids, and pvp. However without the default eye or something to replace it I can't figure out how to teleport out of a dungeon and back in, or leave a battleground.

Without this capability that the default has I've had to just remove this addon. Sorry.

This addon does show the default eye. It should appear in whichever LDB display you're using. When you mouseover the plugin, the tooltip tells you what controls what. Teleports are setup just like default by right clicking on the icon.

Which LDB display are you using?

OK! So I messed around with the code some more to fix the problems that arose surrounding Scenarios with the release of Theramore's Fall. Please test and respond, thanks everyone (Vis!)

I've been running dungeons all afternoon again, and everything is going nice and smooth. I like the multi queue tooltip that displays times for all the queues you are in with times too. I hadn't noticed that until today. It may be that I haven't multi queued till today either though, lol.

I saw in the change log that you gave each queue it's own icons. Does that mean that when you are in a queue, the normal LFD "eyeball" icon changes into something else depending on the type of queue? I just want to clarify it because I'm pretty sure I misunderstood it's meaning when I read it earlier today. It did "not" mean that each queue had a completely separate LDB icon and associated timer. So for example if you were queued for a dungeon and a battleground you would see two icons and two timers on the LDB display. Like I said, I'm pretty sure I misunderstood somehow.

And a thought as usual it seems, lol. Is it possible to limit the "Left-Click to toggle through queues" to only include/show the Queues you are currently in? That way if you're in a DF and a BG queue, you wouldn't have to scroll through the blank SCE and PET queues to check on the active ones. It could also have the effect of reducing what is shown when you are not queued as all you would need to see is the Eyeball for entering into queues.

Once again, just my two cents.

I have been thinking about adding two smalls things. One if you are only in one queue, to add the option of defaulting to displaying that queued time in the LDB. And two, as you suggested, to only loop through showing the queues that have times (possibly also as an option). As far as the icons, there is still only one display, one plugin. I just changed it so a different icon would display with each associated queue so you don't see just the eye all the time. I have few more ideas that I am messing around with that I will share in the near future as well. Thanks for your support, when I get some more free-time there will be another small update.

I think it would be a great idea to implement both of those ideas. That would make it even easier to see the current queue time/s. Obviously no rush is needed. Free time is precious, get your changes when you can, the addon works great without them

OK! So I have updated it to version 1.5. It is sort of a bit experimental, meaning to say that I was able to mess with it a bit on my end, but not enough to ensure there are no bugs. Anyway, the options are set up by default, but turning on Auto-Select Queue and Show Only Active Queues will immediately set the LDB text to the only queued time (when you only have ONE queue in use), and only cycle thru those that are in use when left-clicking the LDB plugin. Also, turning off Builtin Tooltips will display the custom tooltip with all the queue times that we discussed a few posts ago. Let me know how it all works out! Thanks

I would much rather see which roles are missing than how long I've waited in the LDB feed.
sort of like this: "T/H/DX" where X is the number of missing DPS. if for example the Tank and one DPS is missing it would be T/D1.

I've had a chance to play with your addon again and it's looking great. I like how the new custom tooltip looks. Nice and simple and easy on the eyes. And again, no errors for me yet.

From my testing, if you have the Auto Select Queue checked, but Show Only Active unchecked, you are still limited to only being able to see the active queues. That's with multiple active queues and with only a single active queue. I can still cycle through the active ones if I'm in more than one queue as intended though. Otherwise, it does work as intended by auto changing to show the first active queue timer.

It appears that Auto Select Queue and Show Only Active options will both do the same thing on my end. It may be best to combine the two options into a single one.

A small recommendation on the options page as well would be to change the text for the Builtin Tooltips option. On first glance, seeing it checked by default I got the impression that I would see the Addons Builtin tooltips, not Blizzards. So the text confused me a bit until I toggled it a couple times. Changing the text to read "Show Blizzard Tooltip" may be a clearer way to let the user know what it does.

As usual though, I like the changes. They are little features that add big "feel" to your addon.

I've seen something similar in one of the other queue addons that showed it like this "THDDD". The letters would change color depending on who was missing. Red letters would represent missing roles, green would indicate a filled role. So at a glance if you saw Green DDD and TH was red, you'd know that you had all 3 dps'ers but were still missing a tank and a healer. Something along those lines would be clean and easy to read as well without taking up too much space.


*I apologize for yet another wall o text, lol.

Vis? Now how did I know you would be the first one to test everything? Anyway, after much consideration and a small amount of frustration, I am testing with the option of the auto-select queues and show active queues removed, and having this functionality built-in. It seems that checking for the options isn't working quite the way I wanted, and the functionality seems to make more sense. Anyway. I also changed the name of the tooltip option to reflect what you suggested, as it was a good suggestion. I appreciate your support for my addon and good, yet constructive as well, feedback. Thank you. I haven't posted it yet, want to test it a short bit longer.

@tordenflesk, this feature is something that iQueue used to do (pre patch 5.0). I personally didn't like it because I wanted to know how long I've been waiting, rather than just knowing which role I'm missing. Never the less, it seems to be a popular request, so I will look at a way to add it as an option instead of the time waited mode. Stay tuned!

Alright everyone (Vis?!). I have updated the addon again. Still no Pet Battle support, when I have worked that out I will post another version. This one should be pretty stable, check out the Time Wait Mode option (turning it off will give you the role status as LDB text instead of default behavior). Removed the two options that were added last time, and made their behavior part of the addon and not available as an option. Optimized a few pieces of previous code that needed it. Test and report! Thanks.

I haven't tested the newest version yet so I may be a few versions behind but I was glad to see a replacement for eQueue so I tried this a few days back (this was I think Monday, before MoP's release).

When I tried it, I ran into an issue that I couldn't seem to find a way around. As I noticed in your screenshots, your LDB display bar is on the top of your screen but for my UI I decided I was more comfortable having it on the bottom (I use DockingStation if that matters) of my screen. With it on the bottom, whenever I try to right click to bring up the queue options like trying to use it to teleport to the dungeon when the queue pops but i'm dead and had to rez so needed a teleport after rezzing, I couldn't bring up the menu because for some reason it pops the menu below my visible screen.

None of the other LDB plugins I have running with DockingStation in the years i've run with it has even run into this problem so i'm stumped as to how to try and fix it.

I haven't really had a chance to test out the new layout yet. From what I see, it all looks great. Still not encountering any issues.

Out of curiosity, what were you thinking of adding for Pet Battles?



@keLston:

I just checked using Bazooka at least and the tooltip does properly change to be above the bar when Bazooka's bars are on the bottom of the screen. It may be a setting within DockingStation that is causing an issue or could also be a difference in how the displays show information.

@Vis: Answering posts from phone until done moving. Probably tomorrow I will look at the code again. I can't find any Blizzard API that gives you an estimated wait time for Pet Battles. So I may just do a time diff to show how long you've been waiting... and no role display needed either lol so I'm not sure yet.

@keLston: I use placement code that shouldn't move the tooltip off screen unless the data container modifies the placement on its own. I have tested it with ChocolateBar and Bazooka and it works fine
When I get done moving I will look more into it. Stay tuned.
