"threat value" and EH modification of RatingBuster

[culhag]

I updated the addon with the latest RatingBuster version.
Download here !


And I'm giving up on the dynamic threat calculations. I just don't know enough coding to do it.
Basically whenever I try to work on it it goes like this :
1) load the lib in wow
2) get an error I don't understand
3) ask for help online
4) apply correction
5) GOTO 1

I was hoping to see mention of this, but I appear to have a bug. The line for effective health isn't named and the numbers, while functional, meld half-way into the line directly above it. Has anyone had this problem?

Yes I have it too.

Do you have tankpoints installed as well? ISTR those two not displaying well together.

No, but I do have Tank Totals installed, which I disabled to test and see if there was conflict. No discernible difference. I then disabled everything but Rating Buster to see if it was from an addon conflict, but the bug remains.

That's because there's no translation for EH in your locale. I don't know why, but it doesn't default to english when a translation is missing...
Or did I forget to put EH in the english localization ? I'll check that when I get back home.

I'm using a European English version at least. As far as I can remember, I had this problem with the last version as well.

Okay I checked and I did forget to add that line.
You can download the fixed version here.

Ah, thank you much, sir.

Updated for 4.0.1 !

I used the latest beta release of RatingBuster (r291)

I added a variable you can change to take racial expertise into account but you'll have to edit it into the main file. (sorry I really can't code anything myself)
In ratingbuster.lua go to line 3879 (or search for this : )

Code: Select all

local glyph, racial = 10, 0

You can change the second value to 3 if you're using a weapon for which you benefit from a racial bonus.
You could also change the first value to 0 if you're not using the SoT glyph but I don't know why you'd do that.


I expect the author will add Mastery conversion soon but if it gets too long I might try to add it myself. (it's already supported by the StatLogic lib)

Edit : line number for the latest version

Many thanks again, culhag. This is one of the few mods I can't live without!

EDIT: I'm getting huge FPS drops whenever I mouse-over a piece of gear. The '/ratingbuster' command isn't working either.

You mean the Mediafire link ? works fine for me.

Anyway, it's time I update with a newer RatingBuster.

[fuzzygeek]

The mediafire link in a post a few up leads me to

http://205.196.122.24/ciarb76e4ztg/v5dy ... 101020.zip

which 404s. Immaterial if you're updating; I'll just wait for that. :]

[culhag]

That link works for me. I guess there might be a problem with their US servers or something like that.

ANYWAY !
New version based on RatingBuster b318 !
