This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.
Hmmm the LibItemBonus-2.0 is still flagged as alpha and so hasn't been included in the auto zip. If you use expertise I'd advise updating LibItemBonus-2.0 in the EquivalencePoints lib directory with the alpha thats on the curse site. You can get it from here http://www.wowace.com/projects/libitembonus-2-0/files/54-r54/
Once the library author flags it as a release version it will auto update in this project for now if you use expertise you'll need to manually update that library.
The release version merges with an old LibItemBonus-2.0 which had a missing pattern string for Expertise Rating. In the enUS locale expertise is shown as "+XX Expertise Rating" and not "+XX expertise rating" so it was getting missed by the bonus library and thus returning a score of zero. The release r54 of the library fixes this.
Where did you install the library to? I meant you to simply delete the old one and install the new not place it elsewhere. The path should be
if you have put it elsewhere then it will break. As soon as the library author tags release 54 as a "release" version and not an alpha version this addon will be rebuilt with the new library embeded for you.
Oh and V2.1 has templates for every class but not every spec. If anyone has tried and tested EP values for a spec not listed let me know and I can add them as a default. Its not a big issue as you can manually add your own values but hey there are millions of clueless out there, who would like default values.
Guys I noted that all the gems & stuff are hard coded as to their stats. This means that it currently only knows and recommends Outlands gems. For it to recommend Northrend gems it needs all the data manually added.
I WILL add all the gems from Northrend but it might take me a while. I suspect I'll have to write an export routine from the data in wowhead as I'm not manually typing it up. If that doesn't work and I do have to manually type then you can be fairly sure I'll stop at the gems useful to an Enh Shammy.
I used to use a similar addon for my hunter: AEP (agility equivalence points) that is currently out of date. It would be nice if EquivalencePoints worked with more than just the Shaman class.
I have a question though. On the lower part of the tooltip there is a box that shows the difference of stats between currently equipped gear and the one you're checking out.
I'm playing Enhancement Shaman and while it's interesting to see, ie. the difference of spell crit % on piece of gear, I really would also like to see melee crit % as well. Is there any way to customize the stat summary section?
Uploaded v2.0b to see if that will include a potential fix for the issue with the interaction with ItemBonusLib. I've contacted the author of ItemBonusLib to see if he can help with what is being done wrong.
There is a bug with v2.0 in calls to ItemBonusLib-2.0 I'm not sure at present whether the bug is in EquivalencePoints or ItemBonusLib-2.0
The issue lies around the initialisation of the locale names for items. I'd recommend using v2.0 over v2.0a at present as 2.0a will give an error to do with ItemBonusLib-2.0 line 1034 if it loads options before ItemBonusLib is initialised properly.
I'm hoping that I don't need to continue development and that the original author might still pick it up. I may fix the default values for Enh Shammys though.
Re: EnhSim yes I am well aware of Tukez work on EnhSim you might notice that he adapted it to take input from my other major work ShockAndAwe the Enh Shammy dps addon. I also regularly contribute on the EJ Shammy thread under my Shammy name Levva.
ShockAndAwe allows you to export your paperdoll stats for a simple cut n paste into EnhSim, as well of course as giving you a host of timing bars, audible warnings, and adjustable priority frame to replace your rotation given we don't have fixed rotations as Enh Shammy in WotLK.
EquivPoints can't directly import from EnhSim as EnhSim doesn't output any recognised string. Tukez is receptive to adding an export string that EquivPoints could import. Someone else also wrote a webpage parser of the EnhSim output that would give a lootrank string. However this is a big cludge as its far better if EnhSim would do an export string if the appropriate option was selected. Asking for this in the EnhSim thread adds another voice to the debate.
BTW you don't need to type /equivalencepoints - /equiv works just fine
Pericles thanks for the updates. Are you looking to continue development of EP because if you are what are the chances of getting it integrated into the wow addon manager (getting a little tired of the /equivalancepoints show to bring up the GUI. Also any chance of supporting Enhsim which is the new sim for enh shaman.
What hasn't been fixed is the EP values defaults - especially for classes that have changed their stats weightings ie: Enhancement Shamans (for which the addon was originally written)
PLEASE PLEASE, check your EP values to make SURE they reflect the correct balance of stats for your class. I'd recommend using www.lootrank.com to check your stuff as they have "templates" there for each class which you can use and just plug the numbers into Equivalence Points. The in addon defaults are for lvl 70 raiding and will be wrong for levelling and raiding at 80.
Please add the ability for two decimal place's for values. Also can this be update for all the 3.0.2 changes such as merging +hits, spell power, armour pen etc.
I wanted to get it working for 3.0.3. I haven't bothered tackling the merging of stats as it isn't my addon but I really NEED it to work for checking out kit whilst leveling.
I cannot say how much I love this addon working in tandem with EquipCompare http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4392 so you can see the total EP value of your items side by side with any and all quest rewards or AH items etc.

I tried to update, but when I did, EquivalencePoints didn't load anymore. (I probably did something wrong)

The commands "/EqP, /Equiv and /EquivalencePoints" don't seem to bring up the configuration menu. Has this changed to another method?
