Vanas KoS
Vanas KoS is a Kill-on-Sight notifier, that uses every possibility, to detect nearby KoS targets, and notifies the user in different ways. Additionally it records PvP-Stats in outdoor PvP and shows these in the tooltip (configurable).
A: Copy the file WoW\WTF\Account\*YourAccountName*\SavedVariables\VanasKoS.lua to a safe place of your choosing.
Q: I found a LUA-Error/Bug, What shall I do?
A: Goto http://www.wowace.com/addons/vanas-kos/tickets/ and describe what you did to cause the problem (or when it happened) and post the lua-error-message. As we may have additional questions, please check back in/have a valid email at curse for ticket updates.
Q: I have a great idea for the addon! Want to hear it?
A: Goto http://www.wowace.com/addons/vanas-kos/tickets/ and post your idea.
Q: I like living on the edge. Where can I get the latest alpha version?
A: Use these versions at your own peril: http://www.wowace.com/addons/vanas-kos/files/
A: Make sure that you do not have "Show only my entries" checked. You and your guild members must also enable sharing of their lists with the guild.
A: You can either send them to me with a license disclaimer that allows the distribution/packaging with vanaskos (if you own the rights) or You can add your own sounds by modifying WoW/Interface/AddOns/VanasKoS/modules/Notifier.lua The list of sounds is at the top of that file. Just put your extra sound files somewhere inside the WoW directory. VanasKoS uses LibSharedMedia-3.0 so it also has access to any other addon's sounds."
A: Fine, Thanks! It doesn't right now.
Q: I see weird messages in my Chat Window on the Channel CrbZ????, What's up with that?
A: It's not normally supposed to be visible. But you can disable the displaying of that channel in the settings for the chat window. Just uncheck it there.
Q: My channel-numbers are all screwed up
A: It seems that your computer is too slow. VanasKoS joins the Distributed Tracking Channels 20 seconds after login/changing the Zone. You can modify this value manually in WoW\Interface\AddOns\VanasKoS\modules\DistributedTracker.lua under "JOIN_DELAY".
A: Goto http://www.wowace.com/addons/vanas-kos/localization/ and get started!
Q: How can I support the authors and development of this addon?
A: You can either use the "Donate"-Button on the curse VanasKoS-Page, or get a curse-premium Account. Curse gives a part of their earnings through the premium-program back to the addon-authors.
Q: I can code in lua and want to develop xyz?
A: Write me a PM with your idea and experience - I'll review the idea and if it's finished include it in vanaskos, or if you want to develop more add you as a co-author.
Q: How much do you make with this addon?
A: Near to nothing - My (Vanas) payment/hour for VanasKoS is less than 10cents, don't worry though - it's a hobby for the authors, so the revenue isn't a factor for development, but it also means that the real-life job is more important, so bear with us when answers/development take a little longer.
Q: Vana...Vana.. I seem to remember this name from Lineage2
A: You are right, I worked on a popular (and the first) lineage2 drop-database back then.

Posted Mar 8, 2009I changed the pvplog to record by zone name instead of my map ids, because it used the current map zone to record kills instead of the actual zone you were in. So all old entries needed to be updated.
You probably had zero for the zoneid which means you had your map at the continent level instead of zoomed in at a particular zone. If you see any Invalid continent... messages when you log in, please let me know. It won't bug out but I'd still be curious if you just have some crazy continent/zoneid in the pvplog.

Posted Mar 8, 2009As Carbonite is closed source there is no way to figure out how their Map Window works. I'd suggest you use QuestHelper - it beats carbnoita in terms of a quest help anyway.
I guess /kadd can be reintroduced in the future.

Posted Mar 7, 2009I was thinking maybe you could add in a tooltip description for what left and right click do? It's not imperative, but it might be useful.

Posted Mar 5, 2009Merah: I'm not refering to that I'm refering to the ability to in fubar get a line that easily tells you who attacked by simply hovering over it, also shows with numbers how many enemies are near and such, and you can run down the list it shows and simply click it to add people to vkos
This feature has somehow vanished.

Posted Mar 8, 2009In current beta versions, you can only disable "notifications" of players in Shattrath and Dalaran. But in alpha versions I've recently added disabling detection of players in cities, essentially disabling it. And it should always have been disabled in bg's and arenas (alpha version includes wintergrasp)
