Decursive key benefits
Ease of use:
- Decursive supports all classes with cleansing abilities and configures itself automatically, it works straight out of the box, no configuration is required.
- Intuitive interface and detailed options, Decursive is suitable for simple usage and power users.
Control what and who you want to dispel:
- Easily Filter out afflictions you don't want to cure or that are useless to remove by class (some are pre-configured). (Such as afflictions affecting mana on non-mana classes, etc...).
- Choose between what you can dispel (magic, curses, poison, diseases, charms) choosing their priority. (this allows you to share the cleansing work with other players effectively)
- Prioritize or exclude members. (keep players, classes, or raid groups in a specific order to cleanse them in order of importance)
Manage Mind controlled units:
- If you are a Mage, a Druid or a Shaman you can Polymorph/Cyclone/Hex mind-controlled players.
- In any case Decursive will allow you to target mind controlled units easily.
- Decursive supports magic charming affect removal for Shamans (Purge and Hex), Priests (Dispel Magic), Hunters (Tranquilizing Shot), and Warlocks (Fellhunter and Doomguards spells).
Don't waste time:
- Your cleansing spell Cooldown is displayed to maximize your dispel speed.
- An automatic blacklist will prevent you from loosing time on players who can't be dispelled. (player 'out of line of sight' for example).
- Decursive choose a logical cleansing order depending on your current position in the raid. (preventing dispel concurrence between players and thus 'nothing to dispel' messages)
React faster:
- Visual and/or auditive alerts when someone needs your attention and can be dispelled.
- Special sound alert when Unstable Affliction is detected and you're about to dispel it.
- Visual and auditive alert when your dispel attempts are resisted or fail.
Integration in any interface:
- Decursive is designed to save screen real estate and to be forgotten when not needed.
- Many options allow you to customize Decursive appearance and interface behavior.
- All Decursive alert colors can be modified making it suitable for color-blind people.
Highly optimized and effective coding:
- Decursive was developed with memory and CPU usage in mind, installing Decursive won't affect your frame rate even in the worst battle conditions.
- Bug free: bugs are not tolerated in Decursive.
In brief, what you get with Decursive is effectiveness, a player using Decursive will always dispel faster than other players.

Posted Jan 18, 2007Worked perfectly. I'd overlooked the little bit about where to right click--there's a LOT of wonderful little options in there I never imagined existed, as well.
If people haven't said it enough, this is a BEAUTIFUL mod.

Posted Jan 17, 2007Decursive 2.0 BETA 3 Released
http://www.2072productions.com/?to=decursive.php
Changes from Decursive 2.0 BETA 2 to 2.0 BETA 3
- Fix the huge memory consumption of the scanning functions. - Fix a problem with the macro that was not updated if the macro frame was opened. - Fix some options in the menus that were not propagated correctly. - Code optimization. - Added a note in the readme.txt file about how to change the default key bound to the macro.
Changes from Decursive 2.0 BETA 1 to 2.0 BETA 2
- Fix Micro-Unit-Frames (MUFs) display: the first time you log on, the MUFs are displayed to a reachable place instead of the top left corner of your screen. - Fix the LUA error message that occurred when you had all your macro spot used. - The handle to move the MUFs (above the first MUF) now highlights when mouse-overred, a tooltip has been added. - Fix a huge bug in the priority and skip list management causing a variable number of unit to not be displayed in the MUFs if your lists were not empty. - MUFs scaling functions have been improved. - The readme.txt file has been updated.

Posted Jan 17, 2007Change the key through the graphical option menu of decursive, by right-clicking on "Decursive", it's simpler. The command line you should have used is:
/dcr macro SetKey V

Posted Jan 17, 2007Same thing as FireAllianceNX: I use FuBar to monitor the increasing rate of memory used. Usually it sits around 5 KiB/s or so, with Decursive it rises to anywhere between 40 KiB/s and over 100 KiB/s... It's Decursive, I tested it by enabling and disabling other addons.

Posted Jan 17, 2007Perhaps my syntax is wrong, but I'm having trouble with the defualt "macro" button. I have another function bound to `, but it get's overwritten with Decursive's default choice every time I log. It won't allow me to change the key. I try "/dcr macro v" (v being the key I want for it) and it returns "[v] not a valid option for MACRO" or something to that effect.
In reality, I don't need any key bound for it, as clicking the little boxes works just fine for me. But thoughts of evil well up inside me everytime I log and try to use the ` button for my other function and it doesn't work. :P
Also, one other thing that may make the boxes a bit more intuitive is if you couldmake the boxes the class icon of the target they're tied to (shaded for your color system). This would make it a bit quicker to prioritize on the fly. But that's just a minor issue. Overall, I love the new system and SOO glad it got updated.

Posted Jan 16, 2007@FireAllianceNX:
The thing is Garbage collection (collectgarbage()) is never called by the game, since WoW 2.0 and LUA 5.1, garbage collection is done intellignetly by LUA there is no more need to call collectgarbage(), what you do with foobar Forces LUA to use it's old stupid algorithm to free all unused memory... Maybe you've got an addon that sets the old garbage collection behavior... Once collectgarbage() has been called with a limit, it'll be called automatically everytime it reaches this limit causing freezes...
Anyway I'll check why Decursive uses so much memory, this is not normal :/
@magwa:
It's not possible because mods cannot hide or move unit frames while in combat and the only way to cast by clicking is to use unit frames...

Posted Jan 16, 2007Well, to my little understand of Garbage Collection... when I use FuBar to force a "collection", I can reproduce the "freeze" that only occurs when I enable Decursive through my AddOns at the Login page. It seems that my memory usage increments at 100kb/s 'causing the "collection" to happen rather often. This could very well be a conflict with another mod. I'll have to check them out sometime this weekend.

Posted Jan 16, 2007Like i said before. Great job!!
I was thinking though.... I like the little grid thing and the right click and left click to cure. I was reading through the readme about the ctr+click thing for the live list, but can you make it so that the left click and right click "decursing" work for the live list?
Although the grid thing is a great idea and probably awesome for 25+ man raiding i used to like just having the livelist open and clicking on it. Of course now it would have to be right/left clicking. Also if you do incorporate that make it so either i has a red/blue boarder around the debuff or the name of the debuff is the color.
If it is a lot of work then dont worry about it since i might be the only person who uses it like that.

Posted Jan 16, 2007are you using Ct raid ? Because recently, I changed for ORA2 and other ACE replacement and my frame-rate is much better and there are no more freezes at all... Also note that if you are under windows, Windows update will cause freezes if set to automatic...

Posted Jan 16, 2007Ill start doing more analysis of what im doing.
Im also going through my mods to see what else it could be, but again, so far it still seems its decursive.
Update: It doesnt happen as often as it did for some wierd reason, but it happens usually when Im opening things, or about to cast anything.
Again, it doesnt happen that much now. But it still is there, and its just not common mod lag, its a literal pause in the game.

Posted Jan 16, 2007And what are you doing when the freezes occur?

Posted Jan 16, 2007I believe this is causing freezing in the game.I disabled decursive and the freezing went away.
It appears to be random, but sorta frequent. Happens about every 5 or so minutes.

Posted Jan 16, 2007WoW 2.0 uses an incremental garbage collector, there is no more "garbage collection" that freezes the computer. However I noticed that some very unoptimized mods delay actions they cannot take while your in combat and execute them all at once when you leave combat, causing freezes...

Posted Jan 16, 2007Is it normal that Decursive uses memories very fast thus making my client does garbage collection (and freezes my computer for 1 second) every 5 minutes? I hope that made sense? :(

Posted Jan 15, 2007arggg sure it's errln() that should be called not Errln() :/
it should have printed:
"Too many macros exist, Decursive cannot create its macro"
So just remove one of your macros and it'll be OK
