As I understand it, the new 2.3 chat throttling limits are something like 10 messages every ten seconds, correct? So you can send ten lines at once so long as you wait ten seconds before sending the next batch.
I have an addon that (is supposed to) report missing buffs in raid/party/whatever chat. One at a time is no problem, but trying to use the "report" function, which sends out five lines in one fell swoop, doesn't always work. Reporting to a custom channel works fine, but it gets throttled in raid or party chat.
Am I wrong about the throttling mechanics?|||My understanding is the same as yours regarding the 10/10 sec rule but I thought raid/party chat was exempted. But I haven't tested any of that.|||I thought that too, Jumpy, but then my first line prints and nothing else:(|||Iriel posted this in the Blizz UI and mods forum.
Quote:
* Each chat channel is limited separately, at a rate of 10 messages in 10 seconds. This means that you can send one message every second without ever seeing delays, or a burst of 10 messages every 10 seconds without seeing delays. Messages that exceed this rate are not dropped, but simply delayed in order until they can be sent. (This does not affect SendAddonMessage() or party/raid/guild chat. )
But I did not see anything about this in the patch notes. So either it was not properly implemented, or what he said was incorrect, or something is wrong with your code(?).|||It is always possible something is wrong with my code:) but it worked fine pre-2.3, so that's not my first thought. Also, it works fine in self and custom channels. I'll check through it again, but I'm wondering if chat throttling is not completely fixed yet...|||Maybe you should post the question on the Blizzard UI forums.|||Thanks Jumpy, but I did post there with no luck.

Rarefinder
Is anyone working on the mod update for RareFinder by chance? I LOVED that mod but it isnt working and hasn't been for several patches.|||Quote:

Well..... it's strange, this addon. Mine is out of date and says so, but when I check 'enable out of date addons' or something like that on the addon screen, it now works fine for me. I don't understand why.....|||when it says Out of Date on the addons screen it just means that the toc version dosnt match that of the actual game, some mods have been out dated since version 1.2 but still work.

Mh to Oh
I would like to know, how to put a dagger in mainhand when i stealth, and when i breakstealth use the sword on mainhand.
ty|||Presuming that you're dual-wielding and want to switch weapons between hands, you could use this macro:
/script PickupInventoryItem(16); PickupInventoryItem(17);
/cast Stealth
The first line switches weapons between your hands (presuming that you're not using a main-hand-only weapon in your main hand!). The second should put you in stealth if you're not in it, and take you out if you are.
Note that the first line will always go, even if you can't go into stealth -- so you could wind up switching weapons, then not going into stealth because you can't right then.|||thanks for reply, although i found an awsome add-on called. ShadowDancer 2

Odd Buff Detection Problem...
Hi Folks,
I'm having an odd buff detection problem and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas/similar issues for resolving it.
My buff tracking mod is picking up regular buffs like AI, PWF, MotW, and Fort with no trouble. It is also tracking other buffs like Well Fed and Mage Armor beautifully. What it isn't tracking are some other secondary buffs like Amplify Magic, Dampen Magic, and Mana Shield. (There may be more such buffs but those are the ones I notice on my mage.)
I'm using the exact same code/process, I'm using the precise names displayed by the buff, yet, no joy. Has anything about these buffs changed recently? Can anyone think of another reason these particular magic buffs wouldn't track while other magic buffs do? Thanks:)|||what buff mod are you using would be a help.|||I'm using BuffBuddyBC, but I think it was some kind of temporary glitch due to lag, perhaps. Last night it worked with no problems at all.|||have u looked at Elk Buff Bars you can find it at wowace.

Conditional Macros
Hi Folks, I'm trying to write a macro to conditionally run a mod command. I understand how to write conditional macros, and I know how to script mod commands, but I can't seem to figure out how to do both.
And example:
I want to equip my Outfitter DPS suit when I switch into shadowform
/cast [stance:0] Shadowform
/outfitter wear DPS
/cancelaura [stance:1] Shadowform
/outfitter wear Healing
Obviously lines 2 and 4 are not perfect. I only want to run line 2 if stance is 0 and run line 4 if stance is 1.
Any help would be appreciated.|||You can't use conditional logic in macros, apart from the simple conditions used in /cast and /castsequence. Anything else Blizzard considers botting and can permaban you.|||Not true at all. You can use condionals in macros but you have to do it through a lua script and it won't work combat.|||that's easy to do, but can only be done properly if you have Supermacro. Here's how:
Shadow Macro
/cast [stance:0] Shadowform
/equip "dps gear" /script SetActionMacro( lastActionUsed, Heal)
Heal Macro
/cancleaura [stance:1] Shadowform
/equip "healing gear" /script SetActionMacro( lastActionUsed, Shadow)
Set one macro on a hotkey. Now, everytime you run one, they'll switch.
This can also be done for driud using the same idea.
Let me know if it works for you.
Note: this is NOT conditional logic, as it does not check for a condition to make a decision.|||Why??
Outfitter already has special outfits for all stances. Simply use the facilities provided by the addon rather than trying to work around it with macros. ie: In outfitter scroll down to the bottom of the list and find Shadowform, then setup the kit you want there then Outfitter will do the job for you no macros required.

Idea for a Titan addon
Well, quite literaly, i was wondering if there could be a mod made for titan that shows the exact speed percentage that a char has on him currently.
possible?|||I think this would be possible and fairly simple to do given the limited number of items that affect speed. I don't use Titan but I'm sure it has an item bonuses module that might already have this.|||Quote:

It does have a bit of a one, but it just says either "Mounted" or "On Foot"
So, this should be able to work..
the only two things that might make things harder would be the paladin talent 8% speed boost (that gets cancelled out by other things, so im assuming any other boost over 8% will get rid of it) that makes me think that is there is an 8% speed boost trinket, and you have this talent, its kinda pointless to use the trinket :/ so anything under 8% becomes pointless, and of course there are all the other unstackable speed boost trinkets etc..
should be fiun!|||There used to be one which worked on Titan called MonkeySpeed.
Fubar has SpeedFu.|||A little off topic (sorry)
Someone should recode titan. It makes too much garbage, and (for me) hogs FPS. Other than that it's fine.|||in the latest update Titan release TitanPerformance has a garbage collection ability.|||Quote:

It works perfectly with patch 2.3 as I am using it now.|||I used Titan for ages, but FuBar is really superior. Some parts are updated everyday, and if you use the wowace-updater, your life will be a lot easier.
