Btw, I am honored that you're using my NE theme as default

Sorry about that noob. I think I make that mistake b/c it's a common convention that people add numbers to a name when they find that their name is already taken, for example CairennInternetStalker23 after finding out that CairennInternetStalker and CairennInternetStalker 1-22 were already taken. >.>

As for Joypunk, I couldn't help it. I like the movie 'The Joyluck Club'. If it's any consolation, I just accidentally mistyped that as the Joypunk Club.

Someone just skimmed over the changelog...

It's in there.

Feature Addition: Mazzifier has several new questions for new optional add-ons like a replacement casting bar and mob respawn timers.

/cheer mazzle

... 'nuff said =)

I really do enjoy and appreciate all your hard work in this mod mazzle. only other compilation i've used for any extended period of time has been Seerah's, but (no offense Seerah) your's blows it away, can't wait to d/l the new version (or test maybe /blush).

Quartz is included, though it's not installed unless you answer the corresponding question for it.

I love the add-on, though, tbh, I'm one of the people who've had unreliable results with the enemy cast bar module. Reading the changelong, I think this is a problem that Nymbia is actively trying to figure out.

The buff/debuff timers are also somewhat limited given the nature of Blizzard API for them. For example, it won't show debuffs that you contributed to if you did not start them. So, take the fire vulnerability buff from improved scorch. If you're not the one who got the first scorch in, it won't show the fire vulnerability debuff at all. I don't think those portions will ever be able to do as well as a combat-log parsing approach like that used by chronometer, enemy cast bar or antagonist. Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the Blizzard API, not the add-on itself. (btw, I certainly would not argue that it should do combat log parsing. I just mention it to highlight the difference in what it does and can do.)

On the plus side, the duration of timers you do see are guaranteed to be correct. And the castbar and related portions of the add-on are impeccable IMO. And I expect the enemy cast bar portion should soon be equally good. Frankly, these are the core features of the add-on, and it does them extremely well.

joypunk,

I see the forum, but I can't find the download for the addon. Am I blind?

kanwer · 06-21-07, 11:53 AM

Awesome! I can't wait for another Mazzlegasm!

thats a pretty vague reference when compared to the notes about nquest.

anyways jsut excited about something other then antagonist. i've had nothing but prob's with it.

Mazzle: any way you could wrap everything up into a Ace package so we just update "mazzleui" instead of the individual add-ons? i have NO idea what that entails so just curious.

i know that last night i used ace to update the installed add-ons and now thigns aren't workign quite right. the chat doesnt scroll, cartographer wasn't working (wierd?), ... anyways it'd be cool to update as a package.

Geboran · 06-21-07, 12:27 PM

Simply fantastic, Mazzle. Truly. *tips helm*

Let's hope that the Beta testing can be done and changes made sooner rather than later.

I know it is a lot of work, to be sure.

I would --LOVE!-- to see the button layouts implemented as suggested in the other help thread (especially for Paladins); hopefully you will be able to squeeze those in while the beta testing is under way.

(Of course I would love to help beta test as well).

Then again, who doesn't?

raaz · 06-21-07, 12:56 PM

as far as DoT timers go, have you ever checked out Asheyla's DoTimer addon..it's every warlock's dream and works well with other classes too and he provides constant updates

Now you really made me anxious on getting this new version of you on my hands to test it so if you need more testers pm me I will gladly help with all I can, but I'm sure you have a lot. :P

So lets just wait patenly....

***eats fingernails***

Already out?... NO?

***resume eating****

Quagnome · 06-21-07, 02:12 PM

your the man joypunk!

Last question, I promise.

-Would you suggest the addon auctioneer, or auction 1.0(Ace)?

I would assume the auction 1.0 would work better with Mazzle (because it's an Ace download), but I've read alot of good things about Auctioneer.

Assume, makes an ASS out of U and ME!

Aygen · 06-21-07, 02:35 PM

I think I just mazzled myself. I'm so glad you decided to add some of this stuff

(I've been using ... nearly all of what you added), it just makes so much sense to have it in there!

lothlann · 06-21-07, 02:51 PM

Looking forward to this version some nice looking features added

Will there be functionality for blizzards new right click report spam? Sorry if i missed that, i tried a search but didnt find anything.

Also is Mazzlefizz American? Just wondering about the time zones

Ratheri · 06-21-07, 03:08 PM

Lol... Kudos to Mazzle & everyone else involved in this project, including the addon devs themselves. A lot of the changes you made were things that I was fooling around with on my homebrew Mazzle inspired setup... bloody brilliant!

zosopage1963 · 06-21-07, 04:22 PM

Where do I download? I am considered the "mod guy" in my guild and I would love to help test this for ya, considering it is the BEST that I have ever seen, please let me know where I can help our or is it closed beta testing?

Currently this latest release is in closed beta.

To pre-emptively answer the easiest question in advance, no I don't know when it will be released publically. I have a few more features I'd like to add while people try this out for a bit.

Raskol · 06-21-07, 05:30 PM

Looks awesome, I can't wait for the next release. Any chance of a totem management addon making it into this one?

moondoggy · 06-22-07, 01:33 AM

this all sounds really great except one thing i'm not sure about,will mazzle 1.1 support right click casting?correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think original bongos allows it or i don't know how to set it up if so.i really hope i don't have to change the button addon right from the start even with a new mazzle...buts i gots to have my right click lol!
