Some modifications for Warcraft (handy stuff!)

[Cognite]

I'm not big on modifications, for a number of reasons. But these i've found -very- handy and enjoyable.

Flag RSP, updated for the newest version:

Wardrobe 2 lets you switch between pre-set outfits instantly, granted that they're in your inventory. Very handy for druids! Also hand if you're like me and love to collect cloths to wear around town.

Hope you enjoy them! Share any you may have that I don't.

Thank you for the updated Flag link.

I have a bunch of great mods I love but sadly they are still trying to make themselves compliant for the new patch. Once I find the new versions I will post some links.

Durn and drat, I can't get that Wardobe version to function...

Is anyone else using FlagRSP2 seeing other players' first names doubled in the description pane?

I haven't noticed that, no.

Unlike the majority of RP players, I use many, many UI Mods. But they're so stupefyingly useful ^_^

autoexec_bat - establishes a series of commands to run each session when you log in.
BattleCry - allows you to designate vocilazations and emotes to occur on specified events a certain percent of the time. (eg. spellcasts, combat stance shifts, racial ability use, etc.)
Bongos - toolbar customization, a replacement for the staid Griffons that can show a max of one bar at a time. I couldn't live without this one.
CensusPlus - It's a much endowed statistics tracker that sweeps all players online and gives numbers. /Who on steroids.
ChatBar - a small bar above your chat with convienient chat options
ChatLog - Allows logging of the independent chat channels, and additional chat control.
ChatMOD - Chat and UI enhancement, timestamps, colors, clickable URLs, mousewheel scroll, and other spiffy stuff
Demonic Knowledge - calculates Spell Damage bonus based on current pet
diTooltip - Tooltip modification addon - reposition, add some info
DurabilityStatus - tracks equipment durability and estimates repair costs
Extended QuestLog - an expanded Quest log with customizable options and a larger viewing space
flagRSP - (as above)
GrimoireKeeper - tracks what Grimoires your various Demons have learned to save time when lvling
Improved Error Frame - concentrates any pesky error messages into a hidable window on the miniMap
MetaHud - Heads Up Display, spiffy art and options.
MetaMap - Worldmap and Instance map Addon, map coordinate system, now with Resource node tracking and Questlog. I couldn't live without this one.
MinimapZoom - allows mousewheel zoom on the minimap
Mobinfo-2 - Tracks information about anything and everything you attack, as well as estimating HP based on damage done, estimate is refined the more you kill a mob. Interfaces with MetaHud
OneBag - Unified bag display, viewable vault. I couldn't live without this one.
Recipe Radar - shows locations of vendors with Recipes all over the world.
Sell Value - tracks vendor sell value for any item vendored (makes dropping stuff a snap when bags are full)
Soundtrack - Allows custom music playlists to be implemented for most ingame events: Zones, Battle, Flight, Mounted, Death, Ghost, etc. OMG I couldn't live without this.
X-Perl Unitframes - the most customizable unit frames I've seen, and the most useful as well - lots of data presented in a small package.
TITAN Bar - Control Panel/Infobar at top/bottom of screen. Multiple Addons supported for easy access to info. (Some of the following are folded into the TITAN release)
-- Ammo: Ammo counter
-- Bag: bag slots / free slots display
-- Clock: System clock, adjustable for timezone
-- Coords: Displays Zone (or subzone) and location coordinates
-- Factions: One-stop tooltip faction tracking
-- Guild: Tooltip guild tracking
-- ItemBonuses: Tracks Stat bonuses totaled from all equips
-- LootType: Shows the type of loot system your party is using
-- Mail: Mail tracking on the bar
-- Money: How much lucre you've got, and how much you've made or lost this session and per hour.
-- Ore: Reagent tracking (Has Soulshard support too)
-- Performance: Framerate, Latency, connection status display.
-- Repair: As DurabilityStatus above, but displayted on the TITAN bar
-- Rider: swappage of equips for riding bumps done for you
-- Skills: Display xxx/300 or level equilivants for your skills set (Tailoring/Blacksmithing/Fishing/etc.)
-- XP: XP gained per hour per session, and rested XP display.

A special note: The ChatLog addon has only one slash command to interface, and that's /clog

I got most, if not all of these from ui.worldofwar.net/

I was using Benecast, FlagRSP(1 or 2), ChatMod, ChatLog, Koordinator, and Auctioneer (complete) before the last series of patches. Still waiting for Auctioneer and will try a beta Benecast, but one question for you, Dosk--

I couldn't get FlagRSP to work nicely with ChatLog for off-line logging. The logs would completely bloat after a day to several megs simply because of the required FRSP "xtensionxtooltip2" channel. Know of any workaround? I try to archive text chats off-line, but this problem is a make-or-break between FlagRSP and ChatLog for me (I'd chose logging over FRSP). I suppose I'll look into the other RP mods, too.

[Doskious Steele]

The ChatLog interface allows you to filter the channels for display, and then copy the filtered text, up to 1000 lines of log per channel. To create full logs of whatever chat channels you want to possess, you would have to copy/paste the filtered log display from inside WoW into a text editor, and save the resultant file as (for example) WoW Officer Chat [OOC].txt or WoW General Chat [IdiotChat].txt or whatever. You can clear the log after you've copied the text so it's an easy thing to append files to create continuous logs, but I cannot find a way to automate this without technically breaking the ToS that doesn't allow keypresser software to run.

If you need more help figuring out the interface, or whatever, let me know!

Also let me know if you figure out how to automate the logging of individual channels in the interface! ^_^

[Doskious Steele]

The other thing I can think of is to somehow define a macro or a script in Word or Excel or something (or Perl if you know it) to run through the text logfile and kill each line containing the xtensionxtooltip2 character sequence. I'll look into that (the Perl script idea especially has a lot of potential.)

[Mniaron]

Word/Excel macro are good ideas; I'd have to look into that (would a Perl script be able to run on a winxp machine? ^_^.

But actually, you gave me another idea. Once upon a time, I had used the nix "sed" tool in a batch file, and I think sed would be able to strip out lines as well. I happen to have the win32 version of sed.

Maybe something like this?

sed '/xtensionxtooltip2/d' > newlog.txt

I only used sed's most basic commands back then, though, and have forgotten pretty much everything about it. The example above was from the one-liners file. I think it could work. <boggle>

[Doskious Steele]

I know that Perlscript will run thru a browser on practically any platform; I thing it ought to run in XP, thru the DOS emulator command line if nothing else. Not familiar with sed, but if it works ^_^

[Doskious Steele]

w00T~

I have a Perlscript, and it is good!

to use, you must obtain Perl from www.activestate.com/store/download.aspx?prdGUID=81fbce82-6bd5-49bc-a915-08d58c2648ca

If you're running Windows, you should DL the MSI file, as it's the autoinstaller.

Following installation of Perl (which is free), get the script and the batch file to run it from this link: www.geocities.com/bond_007_l2k/PerlFilter.zip

Unzip that into your WoW logs directory, and you should be all set. One caveat, the batch file is presently set to delete the default WoW ChatLog file, so as to save disk space. to prevent this, edit the batch file (.bat) in notepad, and remove the second line.

Got Questions still? Of course you do - I can answer 'em ^_^

PS the batch file is set to append the Filtered file, which is why I set it up to delete the WoWLog. If you don't want to delete the WoWLog, you should also delete one of the " > " characters in the first line of the batch file. > tells it to create, >> tells it to append.
