Posted Dec 24, 2010Mage Spell Bug found:
- Cone of Cold, damage shown its wrong. DRdamage show a very high amount of damage. more than double that it really does.
for example:
DrDamage Cone of Cold: 6800 damage
Real Cone of Cold: 3000 damage
I coudnt found the bug. It calculates correctly the Cone of Cold glyph. But the spell damage calculation formula its wrong...
Anyway, thanks for this wonderfull addon, I will report you any bug I found, to help you to improve it

Posted Dec 14, 2010Another possibility is that some buff or talent is adding an incorrect amount of bonus. Try without any buffs and see if it helps. Otherwise link me your talent spec and I'll take a look at what the possible cause is.

Posted Dec 11, 2010Maybe a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway.. Is it possible to configure this addon in a way, that it would do updates/calculations only when NOT in combat? Or at least when NOT in battlegrounds/instances? Me, and people I know, mostly use this addon to see differences in stats when switching/experimenting with gear, buffs, talents, but never - in combat. Therefore it would be nice to save some CPU cycles/performance, by disabling unnecessary calculations in heavy combats (when CPU gets most load), but still be able to use it in between. As far as I understand - disabling tooltips in combat does not affect it?
------ Gagorian (author) was really nice to answer:
I've tried to make DrDamage as efficient as possible, but obviously it uses more CPU time in raids as calculations need more frequent updates. Have you done any CPU usage comparison with your other addons? Last I tested DrDamage used less CPU time than several popular raidframes, actionbar addons etc. There's also addons that allow you to create addon profiles to determine what addons are used raiding and so on to quickly disable certain addons.
But all in all, I'll consider adding the feature even if it's slightly against the initial design, which is to see real time data on abilities based on raid buffs etc. I won't be adding any new features before Cataclysm though, only bug fixes, so this matter will have to wait.
------ New comment / question:
Is this configuration option / feature (disable in combat) still planned to be implemented? :) As to performance testing - I usually just check CPU usage of addons using "Addon Profiler", and DrDamage was sharing 1st/2nd place with my UnitFrames (probably because I have average PC, and therefore choose all of addons carefully, based on performance). And usage seems to spike during intensive combat, where CPU cycles and FPS are most important :) So having ability to make it use 0 or nearly 0 CPU when in combat would be truly awesome ;)
P.S. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with your addon, and

Posted Dec 18, 2010Let me know if this solution brings any noticeable difference. Currently that option disables updates based on buffs/debuffs, weapon enchancements, power changes (rage/energy/holy power/mana) and player/target health where applicable.
Just as a note: When testing CPU performance remember that if DrDamage is the first addon to load Ace3 and other common libraries, their CPU and memory usage even by other addons will be counted as DrDamage usage. Unless of course you are using disembedded libraries.

First screenshot - after short battleground with default DrDamage settings, second - after longer battleground with "disable actionbar updates in combat" enabled.
Yeah, I know, by far not the best method to measure/compare performance. But imho still allows to see if it changed, and how much it did, in relation to other addons. At least if the changes were big.
And it seems to me, that either we have some performance improvement here (10-20%), or it seems so because of my inaccurate measuring :)
On the other hand - I had options "update on alt/ctr/shift" disabled. I believe if I had these enabled (and usually I do), we would see much bigger difference between "disable actionbar updates in combat" option enabled vs. disabled (as during combat I tend to push alt/ctrl/shift a lot). Well, at least in case actionbar values have no caching, and are re-calculated each time.
As to Ace3 (and other libraries) disembedding - haven't done that. Will see if I am somehow able to do that (at the moment I am not sure if I know the right way to do it), and check again.

Posted Dec 22, 2010I'm thinking that a noticeable part of the consumption listed there is in fact from the libraries, hence reducing DrDamage consumption won't have as big of an impact on the end result.
And regarding disembedding, basically it's as simple as just installing the library like any other addon into your addon folder. It should correctly get loaded and if it works you'll see for example Ace3 memory and CPU consumption listed separately and DrDamage consumption going down (disembedded it uses less than half of what's seen on your screenshot). DrDamage is also available with no libs included, but then you need to install them all separately.

Posted Dec 23, 2010With "update the actionbar with alt/ctrl/shift key" option enabled:
1) http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/747/drdmodfull.jpg (with updates in combat)
2) http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/2551/drdmodnocombat.jpg (without updates in combat)
CPU usage is increased noticeably, when compared to previous tests (where update on alt/ctrl/shift modifiers were disbaled).
Later, I removed libraries from DrDamage, and installed them separately.
1) http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9345/drddisfull.jpg
2) http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7978/drddisoff.jpg
First one just confirms, that many cycles are indeed used inside Ace3 (no clue caused by which addon yet).
And the second one is with DrDamage disabled completely! As we see - Ace3 usage is still really high.
Therefore Gagorian it seems you were right - most of CPU usage was actually from other addons.
But still, I love having the option to disable DrDamage in combat, thanks again :)
Hope in future it will be even more inclusive, disabling as much updates as possible
(or even hiding numbers at all, if it is easier; as during combat numbers will not be up-to-date anyway).
I mean disabling updates on alt/ctrl/shift too (this would be handy for those who actually use those
modifiers, and usually want to see the values behind them, but not during combat), changing targets, etc.
As to increasing 0.3s delay - I do not think change here is needed. But on the other hand, if for example,
adding it as a configuration value into configuration screen wouldn't have any negative impact on performance
- I'm sure that there are DrD users, that would love it (as some people like their UI update as fast as possible,
while others are more concerned with performance; and it would allow everyone to tweak it to their preferance).
Thanks again, and good luck :)
