Need help on making my addon robust

Splynx · 07-17-17, 05:42 AM

Hello guys and girls.

I have created this addon: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/27...ocrateinformer
With this GIT repository: https://github.com/IgorSzyporyn/ProcRateInformer

As the name says it is a Proc Rate Informer.

In it I am starting my routing when a craft cast is started, and then I stop my routine when a cast is stopped.

I also check for a success cast to keep track of expected amount (casts * yield) and I set a "timeout" to end my routing in case no new cast is detected within that timeout.

This is not soo secure and failsafe - I can get a report all of a sudden mid way.

Anyone know how to failsafe this?

Also - I HATE MURLOCS - WHY AM I A MURLOC RAIDER??

While I can't help you with your addon, I CAN tell you why you are listed as a "Murloc raider". It's a rating system, nothing more. And they try to keep it "Blizzard-ized". It's based on how many post's you make in the forum's.

pad pad pad - padding away from murloc status....

Splynx - the ONLY way that you are going to be "padding away from murloc status" is to keep commenting on the forums.

I'm sorry if this post "sounds"......vulgar(?), but it is certainly not meant to be that way. It's meant to be explanatory.

I am, also, 63 year's old and in bad health with a poor memory (at the best of times) (which my signature explains well

)

Unless you annoy the Canadian staff, then you get one like mine

CLOSED: I have found my solution!

However - my solution is NOT the absolute most correct way (well it may be - I dunno) - I am still looking for an:

"Craft of any magnitude has ended" Event.

What is your solution? you can't just close threads

This right here.

The forums are a years (sometimes decades) long record of problems and solutions. It's pretty poor to come to a forum, ask for help, then not provide any resultant solution for future authors.

I never noticed yours.

Note to self: Stay on their good side.

Hmmm.... And Splynx isn't a "Murloc Raider" anymore. Guess I was right after all. Who'd a thunk it??

@VicentSDH - I guess it does pay, but, I have NO idea how I managed to stay on their good side for this long (what with all my "faux pas"(sp?) and all).

BUT, take heart, they're a good natured bunch after all.
