NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------

This is a Beta Release of the WoW Roster for Xoops module
I will update this module as they update the code for the WoW Roster
if you have problems with the module you can go to www.theood.com
login and post in the Site Development forum and I can help you with
anything you need help with.

In upcomming releases I hope to fix the xoops_prefix issue
and still keep the module upgradeable.

This release has the latest sig gen included with it.


--------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
--------------------------------------------------------------

The installation of this module works like any other xoops
Module with a couple of exceptions. I put this module together with
the thought that it needed to be easy to upgrade in the future when
new releases of the WOW Roster web piece is updeated. Follow the
following steps to install this module.

1.) Unzip the package to your xoops modules directory all contents
should end up in html\modules\roster\
2.) Modify the conf.php file to include your sites information
3.) Install the module like a normal Xoops Module
4.) WARNING!! xoops puts prefixes on all tables that are installed during
the installation portion of the mondule install. Because I am trying to make this
module as upgradable as possible I left the old database calls in place. So once you
have installed the module you need to go into mysql server and edit the table names
for all the new tables that are installed with this module. You need to remove the prefix
that xoops puts on the table... example below

Before After

XoopsPrefix_guild ------> guild
XoopsPrefix_items ------> items
XoopsPrefix_members ------> members
XoopsPrefix_players ------> players
XoopsPrefix_pvp2 ------> pvp2
XoopsPrefix_quests ------> quests
XoopsPrefix_recipes ------> recipes
XoopsPrefix_skills ------> skills
XoopsPrefix_talents ------> talents
XoopsPrefix_talenttree ------> talenttree
XoopsPrefix_reputation ------> reputation
XoopsPrefix_pets ------> pets
XoopsPrefix_sig_config ------> sig_config

5.) If you wish to use all the functions of the sig gen read the SigGen2-g_ReadMe.txt
6.) Install the wowprofiler addon and the guildprofiler addon for WOW which
you can get at http://wowprofilers.com
7.) Upload the information from your .lua files that the addons generate into the site
instructions on how to use the wow roster can be found at
http://yoursite.com/modules/roster/docs/index.html

Thats it now it's just a matter of getting your guild to start using the plugins and loading them up to
your site.

Custom Skill Calculator For AC2

Hi Everyone,

After a long series of testing, we're ready to release the Cosmos for the current push!

The new features:


Auction Manager - handle your actions with style! Just drag & drop

PC Autopatcher - automagically retrieves the newest scripts for PC users!

Thott's Tooltipper - Watches tool tips and records the information. Run the patcher to (optionally) upload the information and get credit for your finds!

The Cosmos Configuration Menu - Just hit Escape and turn on/off anything you'd like!



Auction Manager can be accessed from the backpack, or by setting a hotkey in the Key Bindinds. Just drag and drop items into the auction window to start an auction!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:

Meet In Zone UI (seller-side UI)
The buyer can choose what zone's he's willing to travel to. These are meant to be conditions for sale. If you're a buyer, don't bid in an auction unless you're willing to meet the seller in one of the zones they've chosen.

For any auction there's a new string at the bottom of the auction details section. If you are drafting an auction, it defaults to "No meeting place", and there is a "Change" button next to it. Clicking the Change button brings up a UI where you can select a set of zones. Check any zones you like and click OK. Notice that the "No Meeting Place" string changes to Meeting Place: <zone-names>.

Once the auction starts, the buyer will see this same string, but instead of "Change", they see "Show". In cases where the seller has chosen many zones, the string will be too long to fit in the main UI so this will show a popup that lists every zone the seller allowed.

Currently if you do not select a zone as the seller, you cannot start the auction (the 'Start' button will be disabled). Choose at least one zone you're willing to sell in. So far there is some technical difficulty for automatically picking the zone you're in so I haven't done that.

Zone Filtering (buyer-side UI)
In the All Auctions tab you can click the Zone checkbox to filter by zone. When you click the checkbox, it will bring up a window that lets you choose what zones to filter by. After you hit OK, the All Auctions list will only contain auctions where the seller is willing to meet in at least one of your checked zones.



Play around with these features and tell me what you think. I will try to add a feature to let you also filter on item type using something very similar to this UI (or whatever UI this winds up morphing into).

As a warning: Autocast/buff have become unstable this push. We're working on it, but sometimes it will cast over and over again. Just /acclear it.

Where's the files?

Auto-Patcher:
http://www.wowmods.com/cosmos/Cosmos.exe
The automagic patcher for PC. Just load into the WoW directory and enjoy.

Daily Zip:
http://www.wowmods.com/cosmos/
This contains a nightly build of cosmos, straight from our repository to yours!

We've automated all of our publishing tools, so that now, we don't have to make new posts for you to enjoy everytime a small change has been made.

However, if you want to know what version you're using type:

/cversion


Viola! the number appears.

Using the patcher
When you load the program, it will immediately update to patch in the latest version that you've chosen! Simply go to Configure to choose which version: Release, Beta, Alpha (Stable, Testing, Development) you wish to use. Then viola, its patched.

Mac Install Instructions:



Find your World of Warcraft executable (probably, but not necessarily in /Applications/World of Warcraft/ )

Uncompress the zip file. Under Panther (10.3), this is done by simply double clicking the file, no application needed.

Take the "Interface" directory from the set of Cosmos files you just uncompressed and copy it to your World of Warcraft directory. Yes, the whole directory. If there is one already there, replace it. This will remove any mods you had previously installed. If you have other mods installed, you should know enough to get Cosmos installed without reading silly instructions.

Boot up World of Warcraft and hit ESC after entering the game to confirm that the mods are in place. You should see a "Cosmos Options" button that was not there previously. If it is, congrats, you are done. If it's not, quit, remove the contents of World of Warcraft/Interface and try again.

Enjoy your new tools.



Also, a ChangeLog.log file is now available at our website: http://www.wowmods.com/

If you have questions or bug reports, feel free to hit up our forums. We're around from 10am EST to 3 am PST. or irc.datavertex.com #cosmostesters

As always, please enjoy our work, and feel free to leave new ideas here to see! If you have problems, please try toggling off various options in the Cosmos Configuration menu before posting! (particularly /script ToggleCombatHelper(); if you have spam!)

Known issues:
If you forget to clean your directory out before running the EXE, errors may occur. Be sure to save any custom mods that you have done before installing Cosmos. If you forget, you may get loads of error messages on start-up.

As promised, here is the SideBar for those comfortable with messing around in the Interface directory. RE-EDIT NOTE: Reports of SideBar not working with Cosmos are likely due to having the "Keep Interface Directory Clean" button checked off in Cosmos.

SideBar will add a six button bar to the right side of your screen. I think it will be most useful for buttons like Find Minerals/Herbs, food, drink. As a Warrior, I like to put in the buttons that are available across stances, like Inner Rage and the Shouts.

Here, see it in action:

http://www.truemeaningoflife.com/images/sidebar2.jpg

So, what do you do? SideBar only makes modification to one existing interface file, FrameXML.toc, so as long as you feel comfortable modifying that (and it's just adding three lines to the end of the file), it's pretty much just copying four files into your Interface\FrameXML directory and copying a single texture file into a new directory, Interface\SideBar

Here are the files:

http://www.truemeaningoflife.com/sidebar/sidebar.zip

Instructions:

1. If you put that zip into your Interface folder and unzip it with "Extract Here", your zip unzipper will put the files in the appropriate places, which are:

Interface\SideBar\UI-SideBar-Dwarf.tga
Interface\FrameXML\SideBarButton.lua
Interface\FrameXML\SideBar.xml
Interface\FrameXML\SideBarButtonTemplate.xml
Interface\FrameXML\SideBarFrame.xml

2. Open your text editor and put the following three lines at the end of Interface\FrameXML\FrameXML.toc :


Interface\FrameXML\SideBar.xml
Interface\FrameXML\SideBarButtonTemplate.xml
Interface\FrameXML\SideBarFrame.xml


3. Play World of Warcraft!

This is version 0.9, the 1.0 version will have the following:

-A hide/unhide button
-Automatic hide when bags are opened.
-An installer
-Cosmos compatibility

Things I am wondering:

-There are no hotkeys for the buttons. Are they even needed? The only thing I think they could be is CTRL+1-6, but that seems like more trouble than its worth. My feeling is that these buttons are for actions you use fairly rarely, but would still like to have onscreen instead of shifting to another action bar.

-For Blizzard: Is there a way to rotate textures? Obviously it's easy to flip horizontal and flip vertical, so I could reuse the end cap texture, but I had to rotate the MainMenuBar texture and make it a new texture.

It's late, I hope I didn't forget anything. Oh yeah, if you like SideBar, send a tell to my character Brunk. Thanks to Blizzard for exposing the interface, and sobsob please give me a job.
