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 Jan 20, 2011Maybe the entries were created by somebody else in your guild, and you have "Mine only" checked?

Posted Dec 10, 2010Sheesh been out of addon development way too long. Added the option to filter results in like 5 minutes, added a function in PvPDataGatherer to Log a hit and to compliment the win/loss system. Can't remember combatlog details, will work on it and post, figured would be at most a 30 min task, but not familiar with VanasKoS enough yet, will learn how it all works, then post it.

Posted Dec 8, 2010Heyas,
Simple feature request, if needed I'll add the code to my copy and post it as an example. But would like the ability to only gather data for combatants I have a duration with (if they hit me or I hit them). Where this wouldn't affect the notification's KoS log etc. Just the data gathering and/or display aspect.

Posted Nov 19, 2010Its really takes time to load them in Wintergrasp and they are so much that i barely can see the dots of the incoming vehicles.
Also i realy like the warning window, there was a similar addon called "radar" in vanilla wow which i cant find nowhere anymore, it had different colors of the names (red, yellow, green) based on the time passed since the enemies were detected and there was an option to set the expire times of the warnings. Will be really nice to see this here too.
Thanks for the great addon!!!

Posted Jan 20, 2011I think the position is remembered now, but I'll check later.
I like the wowace tickets, but posting other places are ok. I monitor them all. Sometimes I create tickets out of the outstanding issues posted other places anyway.

Posted Oct 26, 2010/run if SecureCmdOptionParse("[harm]") then SendChatMessage(format("Detected %s%s%s%s%s in %s at (%d,%d)", "${name}", ("${guild}" ~= "") and " <${guild}>" or "", ("${level}" ~= "") and " Level ${level}" or "", ("${race}" ~= "") and " ${race}" or "", ("${class}" ~= "") and " ${class}" or "", "${zone}", ${zoneX}, ${zoneY}), "CHANNEL", nil, GetChannelIndex("General")) end
into the warning window macro txt. When I click on a horde name in the Vanas Warning Window nothing gets posted into genchat. Am I doing something wrong or skipping a step? Also sometimes Vanas won't let me target horde from the Warning Window.

Maybe we need to add another substitution options so you can get faction without targeting them.

Posted Oct 22, 2010Also, if you're familiar with the other PvP mod Paranoia also on curse, is there any way that you can incorporate a way with a button press, to show a specific enemy's coords, location, guild, name, class and lvl the way Paranoia does? If you could, this would truly be the only PvP mod to have =D. Just wondering. Again, ty for all the work you've done on this mod, I recommend it to all my buds who do anything that involves being in a world pvp zone.
