Posted Feb 7, 2011Ketonic, You can disable comments on curse. And it is far better to have a lot of people beta testing your addon than a select few because there is more chance of finding odd bugs from more people than from a handful.
And I know I personally don't trust random websites no matter how nice or caring the person is. You just can't make exceptions to the rule when trying to keep your computer clean of keyloggers and malware.
Internet rule #1 Don't trust anything you don't know

As KLE is still in the BETA stage i would say its a good idea NOT to uploaded in on curse yet as that will just mean TONS of players asking "why do i get this error" "why is this not working" "lol this addon suxx" and so on, as players really can´t read the description. Just check out the comments on Cartographer.
So by keeping it on this site for now means that just the players that want to contribute with something or have a burning love for this addon will use it and hopefully that will mean less stupid question answering and more coding for Shuang

Posted Feb 7, 2011ok I understand a little better now but Im still not sure. Are the DXE people going to update this, as well as you do your version? Its a little confusing at the moment but I'll be using whichever one stays current as I much prefer this over Bigwigs and DBM. Sending that email now.

Posted Feb 7, 2011Shuang, I do recommend putting it on curse or wowace because a lot of people rightfully wont download addons from unknown websites due to the possibility of keyloggers/etc.

Posted Feb 7, 2011arlenwoot - mostly because wowace doesn't support what I'd like to do, at least AFAIK. Looking back at the start of Cataclysm till now and the level of activity in this 'post comment' block, I would really like to a) integrate it with our guild site b) make it very easy for people to upload transcriptor logs, encounter updates and the like to share with others c) provide a more extensive wiki so that details on things like how to write / modify your own encounter file is available. d) I use trac *alot* outside of my modding and as such am comfortable with it and like it, the current registration issues should be fix'd in a week or so. e) it doesn't seem like there is an easy way to 'export' from wowace, the current trac setup lets me just export all the data as a backup and load it into a new trac install elsewhere if I want.
knowntobe - I didn't really discuss if he was going to update DXE, and yes as a fork it shares about 70-80% of its code base with the last official DXE release, some of the stuff I'm really excited about, like the preprocessor, won't even show up for most users, but is a significant portion of code. In terms of feature requests, send me here or an e-mail @ [email protected] and I'll get you a useraccount for the trac site, once you have that you'll be able to push the 'new ticket' button and add a trac ticket, which is basically a feature request :)

Posted Feb 7, 2011Does this mean DXE is no longer being updated by kollektiv and that your version is the "new" DXE? edit I have installed it and it looks just like DXE so I assume that KLE is the new DXE. Good news! With that in mind, wheres the best place to make feature requests? currently some of my guild members use Bigwigs over DXE for 1 small, simple reason. Bigwigs has a "count down" which is a visible 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, along with a spoken "five, four, three, two, one" that they can hear. Is there any way for KLE to get this in? would be the icing on the cake keep up the good work!

Posted Feb 7, 2011So, as promised, cool (to me at least) news.
I got ahold of Koolectiv and got permission to create a fork of DXE, check it out @ kle.klguild.org, the hosting situation is less than ideal... but its what I have for the moment. toss me an e-mail @ [email protected] to get a username.

Posted Feb 4, 2011@Shuang The enrage timer for Heroic Chimaeron, and I'm guessing normal, is 30 seconds too long.

Posted Feb 2, 2011Any official news about the mod? it's gone over a month now without a single word. I'm sure people would appreciate to know what the future has in store for DXE.

Posted Feb 1, 2011Just show the minimum cd of the ability because thats what we want to know in the fight. When the bar is filled it stays visible until the the ability was cast.

Posted Feb 1, 2011Perhaps you could paint a marker onto the statusbar background indicating the minimum time for the ability.

Posted Jan 31, 2011Personally I would show problematic cases like this:
A normal bar that shows the minimum cooldown. When it's filled it stays visible and a 2nd (smaller or thinner) bar attached to it starts filling up showing the timeframe from min cd - max cd.

Posted Jan 31, 2011Well, transcriptor logs and telling me which abilities seem off can certainly help, that said...
- nef tailswip - has a minimum cooldown, but does not go off *on* cooldown necessarily, iirc its between 12 and 20s - ony lightning - is *really* hard to do. a) it has a minimum cooldown instead of a cast cooldown, b) it doesn't trigger a 'spell cast' event, so it only works based on people actually getting hit by it. (at least as far as I can tell)
- Al'Akir wind burst, I could be wrong, but this one also seems slightly randomized.
Of course, the more log files I get, the more data I can get, maybe windburst isn't really random but is some repeating series of timers, or has a small range of wiggle that I can handle some how, but I don't personally have enough logs for that.
.. Also... how would everyone want to see probabalistic abilities like these represented in the UI? Do I show the minimum cd? Do I show two bars, one the minimum and one the maximum? Most common? A distribution of some kind?
