09:47.28Zanixits lots of fun
09:47.31Zanixyeah
09:47.38Zanixwednesday for you , hehe
09:47.58Zanixyeah, wowdb.php needs to be re-written
09:48.17Zanixi would have liked 1.7.2 to be ready, but it's not
09:48.39PleegWatchar.php needs a redesign I'd guess, at least visual with the extra stats
09:48.44PleegWatDo we even have a CP beta yet?
09:48.51Zanixtomorrow
09:48.54ZanixCharacterProfiler and GuildProfiler
09:49.03Zanix...i love my auto replce
09:49.08Zanixreplace
09:49.18Zanixnow if it can just auto correct my spelling
09:49.18PleegWatOh, I've got one somewhere too
09:49.29PleegWatFeed it with word's autoreplace list?
09:49.44Zanixlol, yeah
09:49.51Zanixwe already have a feature request for 2.0 patch support
09:50.08PleegWatlol
09:50.27Zanixat least, wowdb.php, char.php, and update.php will have to be fixed
09:50.36Zanixchar.php isnt as important
09:50.46Zanixman, I wish we were ready for this
09:51.00Zanixand wish we had a bigger "active" team
09:51.07PleegWatYeah
09:51.16PleegWatWell, you tackle wowdb, I'll do char?
09:51.35Zanixsure, can do...I even got some requests for CharacterProfiler and GuildProfiler in for 2.0
09:51.49Zanixlike multiguild-same realm support
09:52.06ZanixCharacterProfiler is changing alot for 2.0
09:52.28PleegWatI read your log
09:52.28Zanixit will have a separate mini item db saved
09:52.31Zanixyeah
09:52.41ZanixI told calvin to just go all balls on the cahnges
09:52.59PleegWatWe need to at some point
09:53.08Zanixyes, very true
09:53.16PleegWatSitting around with compatibility data just clogs up the memory and the file format
09:53.24Zanixexactly
09:53.40Zanixi told him no compatibility
09:54.02*** join/#wowroster Tsikura (i=nn@user-0cev143.cable.mindspring.com)
09:54.03Zanixdo you think we can get 1.7.2 out just because of this
09:54.07PleegWatDoes the old CP work on woow 2.0?
09:54.15Zanixno, it breaks
09:54.24Zanixive tried
09:54.28PleegWatI mean after fixing the toc of course
09:54.35Zanixyeah
09:54.50PleegWatIt calls old mods incompatible instead of out of date so you have to change the toc before trying
09:55.38Zanixtrue
09:55.40Zanixi know that
09:55.53PleegWatI hope someone fixes either necrosis or aspected for 2.0
09:56.10Zanix20000  instead of 11200
09:56.39PleegWatI used to run a self-modded version of aspected with warlock summons on the buttons
09:57.14PleegWatUntil I discovered necrosis a month or two back
09:57.51PleegWatI'm a button freak...
09:58.50Zanixhehe
09:59.19Zanixi dont have a lock, but I have a mage, and use a mage version of necrosis
09:59.45Zanixyep, nice interface errors
09:59.58Zanixappempt to call a table value
10:00.38PleegWatThat's why I run IEF. I get a message every 30 secs or so (varies a lot, varies per enemy) from blizzard's combattext
10:01.02PleegWatdunno if it's a blizzard bug or if something is trying to use it instead of SCT
10:01.26Zanixyep, cp errors...alot
10:01.47Zanixi dont IEF on the test client
10:01.53Zanix*have IEF
10:02.18PleegWatHm, not even sure if I had
10:02.36PleegWatI dumped cosmos on it cause it errored and a lot of stuff wasn't in yet anyway
10:02.50PleegWatIf their beta release is anything to go by they've got a lot of work to do this weekend
10:03.56PleegWatI'm gonna have to find myself a PTR guild if I want to do the roster dev stuff
10:04.23Zanixi havent use cosmos for a year now
10:04.38Zanixis there only one test server, for all clients?
10:05.09PleegWatOnly one EU test server (PvE), no pvp/rp/rp-pvp servers, and that's for all languages
10:05.29PleegWatPlus the character transfer has been overloaded all the time
10:06.49PleegWatI also wanna do an affliction spec tryout this weekend
10:08.29Zanixhehe
10:08.36ZanixI only have a hunter
10:08.47Zanixoh, and a 19 shaman
10:09.57PleegWatNo 60s to throw new specs at?
10:10.36Zanixyeah, my hunter
10:10.40Zanixthats it
10:10.56Zanixtried a beast spec
10:11.19PleegWatI've always had mine on MS
10:13.28PleegWatShould I add the level cap fix to 1.7.2 or do we include that in a 1.7.3 on jan. 16th?
10:15.15PleegWatI'd say add it now, except that I can't pull L60 sepereate from L61-69 so you always get a 60-69 cat. and a L70 cat.
10:19.04Zanixseems fine to me
10:19.29Zanixoh dang, IEF doesnt work on 2.0 either
10:20.06PleegWatCheck the cosmos beta build
10:20.13PleegWatIf I were them it'd be among the first things I fixed
10:20.30Zanixyeah
10:20.39Zanixwhere's cosmos?
10:20.48PleegWathttp://www.cosmosui.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16505 It's not in the list of addons that still need fixing
10:20.50Zanixdo they have their own site
10:21.01Zanixhmmm
10:21.08PleegWathttp://www.cosmosui.org/index.php?p=download
10:21.26PleegWatget the testserver build
10:22.18Zanixdoesnt have IEF in it
10:22.28Zanixjust one big cosmos folder
10:22.41Zanixgrrr
10:22.51PleegWatdoesn't here
10:23.21PleegWatI get a collection of 74 addons. No cosmos one among it
10:24.22Zanixi have about that much
10:24.28Zanixmostly ace2 addons
10:24.34Zanixfubar, bartender, skinner
10:24.49PleegWatIEF is under !ImprovedErrorFrame.
10:24.49Zanixetc...
10:24.52Zanixyeah
10:25.07PleegWatWell, there's 74 in cosmos. I'd have to check ho wmany I have loaded
10:25.20Zanixoh, i go this one    Cosmos_ThottbotBeta
10:25.27Zanixthats probably why
10:25.40PleegWatI've got 111 installed, including blizz addons
10:25.44Zanixits this one huh?   "Cosmos_TestServer"
10:25.48PleegWatYeah, the testserver one isn't makred 20000 but it is
10:25.54PleegWatyeah, that's what you need
10:25.57Zanixi have 120
10:26.21PleegWatBut there's a load of cosmos ones I don't have loaded
10:26.32Zanix108 w/o blixx ones
10:26.36Zanix*blizz
10:26.49Zanix21 are for fubar
10:28.13PleegWatI've got all of the cosmos ones installed, but not all enabled. CP/GP. Engbags. Toybar. Necrosis. Wardrobe.

10:29.13PleegWatehm, showing. In roster.
10:29.16Zanixcool, many will like that
10:29.32Zanixare we gonna have the item db in 1.8?
10:29.39PleegWatdunno
10:29.46PleegWatfine with me, if I don't have to make it
10:30.03Zanixlol, no kidding
10:30.04PleegWatI'm hoping to find time for the permissions system sometime soon
10:30.27PleegWatThe wardrobe addon may have to wait till 1.8 itself is in beta
10:30.58Zanixi really need to work on the next siggen too
10:31.10Zanixi dont have on bit of it coded
10:31.11PleegWatFramework first, we can do addons later
10:31.17Zanixtrue, very true
10:31.19Zanixlol
10:31.52Zanixim glad most of my addons work for the 2.0 patch
10:31.53PleegWatI may upgrade altmonitor for 1.8 too. I don't think integrating it with the main roster will work right
10:32.35Zanixprobably not, best to put that on the char page though
10:32.39Zanixand the control panel
10:32.43Zanixfor the user
10:32.46PleegWatWell, necrosis will need a full rewrite cause of protected funcitonality. Toybar and wardrobe would need only minor fixing to work out of combat.
10:33.18Zanixi use motsly interface addons, nothing really functional
10:33.42PleegWatWell, what i wanted in main roster is selecting mains/alts, and possibly visible/invisible on the main lists (user-controlled, possibly overridable/restrictable by admin)
10:34.49PleegWatBut basically with a dropdown for which of your chars is the main and checkboxes which ones should be visible on main lists. Would only work for chars with uploaded data
10:35.39PleegWatA big plus of AM that isn't transferrable is that AM works with chars that don't have data uploaded
10:36.25Zanixvery true
10:37.01PleegWatReminds me of another thing. Do you think we should encourage addon authors in 1.8 to store character records (PUG raid members, pvplog enemies, etc) in the main characters table? It'd have the advantage that if the same character appears like that in multiple addons those'd be able to interact about him
10:38.23Zanixive been encouraging them to not mess with the core roster tables
10:38.42Zanixbut i do see the benifits of what you are saying
10:39.01PleegWatWe don't want them adding columns and stuff
10:39.21PleegWatOr changing the interpretation of the same columns
10:39.46Zanixadding new ones is ok, changing existing no...no no
10:40.09PleegWatNo, we don't want new columns. It messes stuff up if we even add a column of the same name
10:40.21PleegWatFor new columns they should add their own table and key it on member_id
10:41.02Zanixyeah, i would rather that happen
10:41.23Zanixdid you mean for something like mathos's DKP adon?
10:41.35PleegWatBut adding ROWS is a different situation. If the rows make sense in the context of the rest of the table, we should allow it
10:41.43PleegWatThe same thing goes for config insertion.
10:42.17PleegWatI'd rather have they don't mess with the roster config table (use my library instead) but it is adding rows that make sense in the context of the table
10:42.52Zanixright
10:42.58PleegWatIf someone wrote an addon that adds data based on a different profiling mod I wouldn't want to stop them from using the main tables either
10:43.13Zanixvery true
10:43.54PleegWatGotta catch the train in 20 mins
10:44.38PleegWatSo I'm going off
10:44.38PleegWatcu

17:24.17jasbascomhowdy, I see that calvin just released betas of character profiler for PTR/BC
17:24.59jasbascomis Roster 1.7.1 ready to correctly use this data?
17:35.06PleegWatNo.
17:35.20PleegWatThere were significant data format changes in that CP version
17:35.32PleegWat1.7.2 will be able to read that data
17:35.53PleegWatWe'll do our best to have it done by tuesday, but no promises
17:36.58jasbascomtough
17:37.21jasbascomdidn't give you much notice did they? :\
17:37.32PleegWatIt took calvin a while to get the CP beta out
17:38.04PleegWatThis weekend we'll work on the wowdb parts first, add all the new data fields to the system
17:38.21PleegWatAlso we'll upgrade the char.php to show that new data
17:38.31jasbascomwell, if you guys need help testing I'd be happy to help.
17:38.45PleegWatWe've decided to do public betas starting this version
17:39.15jasbascomcool, you gonna use forums to coordinate the testing?
17:39.54PleegWatBasically it's tough luck for us that calvin didn't get into BC beta. Our development cycle is slow compared to most wow mods cause we are usually resilient enough to not have to update at wow patches
17:40.08jasbascomyea.

17:40.34*** part/#wowroster TimRiker (n=timr@pdpc/supporter/bronze/TimRiker)
17:40.37jasbascomyou'd think someone at blizz would be smart enough to give calv a key for this kind of major change
17:40.38PleegWatI'm not sure, I'll keep the possibility open you can actually update 1.7.1 with the 2.0 CP
17:41.01jasbascommight bork up the data a bit no? what with the talent changes...
17:41.13PleegWatwouldn't
17:41.19PleegWatWe've never had to patch for talent updates yet
17:41.24jasbascomcool.
17:41.55jasbascomnot much else is changing, though in calvins post he said the data format is changing in some way
17:42.04jasbascomhe instructed people not to upload their data...
17:42.18PleegWatHm, wait. I think 1.7.x is hardcoded for 7 ranks in display
17:42.25PleegWatIt'll fetch the data for rank 8 and 9 but won't display
17:42.29jasbascomdata format of cp i mean
17:42.48PleegWatThere's data changes for multiguild support, without compatibility data at the old location
17:43.15PleegWatANd a couple of changed/new fields in the character data
17:43.20jasbascomwell regardless, your work is appreciated.  I know blizz didn't give much notice...
17:43.27PleegWatThat's the only visual aspect we'll have to update
17:43.43jasbascomyea, should be minor till BC
17:44.05PleegWatI also patched in 61-70 for the level overview yesterday
17:44.17jasbascomawesome.
17:45.47PleegWatYup, talent display is hardcoded for 7 ranks
17:46.16PleegWatI'll probably transfer the one from 1.8, that one's independent of that and should be compatible
17:46.22PleegWatAnd there's redesign of the first tab, orf course
17:46.32jasbascomno other 1.8 dependecies?
17:46.33PleegWatAnyway I've got MC in half an hour, so I'm off
17:46.35jasbascomheh
17:46.37jasbascomlater man
17:46.39jasbascomthanks again.
17:46.55PleegWatThere's not much fundamental changes for the char page in 1.8
