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.

great addon!
Is it possible to change the layer of the "Additional Reason Window"? It seems to be top layer leading to the problem, that items under the notification window do not provide tooltips.
Found one more thing:
It is not possible to change the position of said window more than one time per login.
To reproduce:
1. Remove the checkmark "Locked" for the "Additional Reason Window",
-->it is possible to move the window and a place holder text is displayed,
2. checkmark "Locked" again,
-->the place holder text does not disappear,
3. remove the checkmark again,
-->it is not possible to change the position,
4. remove the checkmark "Enabled",
-->the place holder text is hidden,
5. add the checkmark to "Enabled" and remove the checkmark for "Locked",
-->no place holder text is displayed
Workaround:
Logout and back in.
Versions used: 3.16 & 4.00b1
It works just fine.
Thank you very much.
I would like to know if it is possible to kind of import the hatelist, friendlist, etc on an other computer. I just installed the game on my desktop and would like the lists to follow me. Which file do I have to move?
I am on Mac os x
Thank you.
great work thanks
Yes, it's enabled. Disabling now and I'll see if it still pops the error.

Sorry if it's something I'm doing wrong, like I said I don't know anything about this stuff :) I only get errors when I log in though, it seems to be fine otherwise! Btw thank you so much for creating/maintaining this mod, I really hate PvP (only on a pvp server b/c of my friends) so it's nice to know when I should run and hide from a particular player :) I love this mod!

I updated everything I could... (Like, I didn't have Ace3 and I got that message so I downloaded it, but the error didn't change). Like I said, it does seem to be working fine. I feel like I'm being a pain. lol
