SSS – WoWInterface's First Official Addon
 

Happy April Fool's everyone. Yes, the addon was indeed our joke for this year. Hope people got a kick out of it. :)


We are very pleased and proud to announce our first official addon: SSS. Our very own Seerah, Shadowed and Shirik have all collaborated to create an addon that is designed to improve the efficiency of all addons by replacing several core functions of Lua with more efficient versions which are optimized specifically for WoW development. In simple terms, this should drastically and dramatically improve WoW's performance for you.



You can find it in our new download category, Official WoWInterface Addons and Utilities. Please see the download page for further details and to download it. Zoom zoom!

Hacks. Using this addon will get you banned.

It is all pure Lua, there is nothing in it that will get you banned.

Awesome :D

Tekkub is just jealous he didn't figure it out first. Sorry man but Shirik, Seerah & Shadowed are a dream team.

Why am I last, my name is longer so I'm clearly better :(

Hey guys, this is pretty funny, I tried to use the MMOUI Minion v2.3.1 to download this mod, and it occurs to me that the downloader program will not search anything below 4 characters.

You can't use their own program to download their mod.
JUSSAYIN'

Sweet mod though,

(removed reference to site-banned application - Cairenn)

nice lua code! :banana:

Tekkub is right ... I spotted perl ;)

Yeah, and I'm afraid it will take Blizz only a day to disable that functionality :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

It isn't a hack.

Very funny :P

As mentioned on the download page, there are a couple of minor taint errors that are being worked out. Simply hit the "Ignore" button when it appears (which is only when you press Escape.) The game still functions as normally, and Escape still works to pull up menu, clear target, etc.

could you possibly explain why the fps reported ingame with this add on does not line up with the fps reported by other programs such as evga and fraps?

I've been waiting for this addon for weeks. I had a feeling it would be released today!

pffl, because the others aren't as accurate *slaps head* :D

**giggles**

Happy April Fool's everyone. Yes, the addon was indeed our joke for this year. Hope people got a kick out of it.

ok i fell for it... and DLed it, sporting the WoWUI pride.... but i still have no idea what it did.

I had posted in this thread.. Why did you delete it? /cry

Because you were spoiling the joke long before most people got the chance to enjoy it.

Like I put up in my little "support" post before it was removed, it simply altered the fps display in the tooltip when you moused over the icon on the menu bar, giving the impression of increased framerate. It multiplied your actual framerate by 1.4 and gave you that display instead. :)

So did I :banana:

Which is why yours got deleted, too.

It's something I've never understood. I just don't get why some people always feel the need to spoil the fun for everyone else. Quite frankly, it's annoying.

To be honest, it's the "I've been fooled haven't I?" factor... at least for my post. I fell for the 'joke', downloaded the addon, and used it... I even convinced my GF to get it because I thought it was doing a good job.

I live in Australia, but you could probably hear my /facepalm in the States when I read the code and realized most of it was commented out to give the impression that it actually does something when it was really a April fools joke.

Yes. You got me :(

GAH you people are lame!

Even I figured out the second it was dropped it was a joke. I have a rig so damn well built and powerful that no addon will ever improve my FPS. I get 85 fps in Dalaran, I'm just that good.

*GRIN*

Plus I have a fiber-optic network at my house.

Actually, it's not commented out, it's valid syntax for a string, see the below for example. The code is 100% valid and would technically work thought.

[15:43:12] <@Shadowed> lua> print([==[Foo bar]==])
[15:43:17] <lua_bot> Shadowed: Foo bar

It merely changes the output of the functions that return net and FPS stats.

i got verry sad wen i knew it wuz an april's fools joke :"(

Yeah i dont understand it as well but you will always have people do that.

Yes i feel for it as well and was pissed at first but had to laugh shortly after it.


Good April Fools Joke

ok, one question... Why is it still up?

For the same reason High Roller and all the other silly joke addons are. They are amusing and hurt nothing. :)

ah, ok :) ......

That or it actually works, and Cairenn just doesn't want the non believers to take advantage of it!

Man, after the exquisite outrage I felt over last year's "joke" (which I still have a sneaking suspicion will become a reality someday) I'm kinda sorry I wasn't around for this year's lark. :p
