Linkerator: On Hold

Gazmik Fizzwidget — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 08:57:14 +0000

Linkerator had already been “on life support” for some time, as it needs some major work to truly realize its functionality on recent versions of WoW. Sadly, I’ve not had time to put in even minor work on it lately, and don’t expect to for some time. And with the release of WoW Patch 3.3.5, it’s more seriously broken.

Sometime “soon” I’ll be releasing a version with slimmed-down functionality that works on the current WoW patch; and sometime further in the future I still plan to bring Linkerator back up to where I think it ought to be, but for now it at least temporarily joins the ranks of the discontinued addons. (See here to download the previous release.)

FactionFriend 3.3.1

Gazmik Fizzwidget — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 06:31:46 +0000

Added an option to automatically move factions to Inactive status when the player becomes Exalted with them. This feature is disabled by default; when enabling it in FactionFriend’s options panel, any already-Exalted factions will also be moved. (Inactive status has no effect on game mechanics, but hides the faction in the default Reputation UI and FactionFriend’s menu so you can focus on other factions.)
Redesigned the menu which appears upon right-clicking the reputation watch bar:
- Current standing with a faction is displayed as right-justified text in the menu item.
- The highlight graphic seen when mousing over a faction in the menu shows the player’s current progress with the faction.
The option to automatically switch the reputation watch bar when entering zones with associated factions is now off by default, as this confused some users. (It can still be enabled if so desired.)
Updated reputation values for Sons of Hodir turnins to match changes in WoW Patch 3.3.
Tweaked color values for reputation levels to be more distinct.
Fixed an issue where reputation gain messages in chat windows could fail to appear.
Fixed an issue where faction standing labels (“Revered”, “Exalted”, etc.) wouldn’t always match the player’s gender (in relevant localizations).

Shameless Plug: WoW Programming: the book: episode ii: the sequel

Gazmik Fizzwidget — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 01:24:33 +0000

The new second edition of World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons is now available. I rewrote and updated nearly the entire Reference section for this edition (which is also online and continually updated at wowprogramming.com)… but since the publisher has some silly aversion to working with goblins, I had to let my human lackey take official credit.

Anyway, if you’re looking to become a successful builder of widgets & gizmos like me (or that elf who wrote the rest of the book), ~~good luck~~ this is the book for you!

Linkerator 3.1

Gazmik Fizzwidget — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 19:08:21 +0000

Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 3.1.
Linkerator now avoids performing CPU-intensive link searches on text sent to chat by macros or other addons if the text in brackets is only a number (e.g. Hateful Strike --> Grunkk [23423]). To “linkify” by item ID number in a macro, use the format [item:43593] or [#43593].
We also no longer attempt to “linkify” text sent to custom chat channels (such as the hidden channels used by some other addons).
Fixed an issue where Linkerator would sometimes fail to avoid “linkifying” text in certain chat commands (e.g. /script) as intended.
