01:51.48Zanix|awayso I wont be playing the new stuff
01:52.27Linerahey
01:52.45Lineraanyone know of a good template engine?
01:53.19PoloDudeyou serious, 3 CE :s
01:53.26Zerylyep
01:53.30PoloDudedamn :p
01:53.30Linerahuh?

01:55.07Zerylshould have pre-ordered
01:55.19PoloDudethe first i ordered will be distributed by first come first served basis on the midnight release
01:55.27PoloDudeso that's small chance
01:55.44Zerylahhh
01:55.51PoloDudethe second i ordered put me 12th on a list and they have only 11 in shop ...
01:56.02Zeryli've already paid the $69 for them, so i better get them
01:56.14PoloDudeand the 3th, well they only had 1 and i should have it
01:56.29PoloDudeso did i, and still they do first come first served :(
01:57.47PoloDudefirst newspost on site isn't good though
01:57.48PoloDudehttp://www.wow-europe.com/en/
01:58.14PoloDudeand you're not even getting the normal expansion zanix?
01:59.17Zerylwierd polo
01:59.31PoloDudeye, they forgot to include the code or something
02:00.54Zanix|awaynope, I dont have the money
02:01.00PoloDudeDAMN /S
02:01.03PoloDudesorry
02:01.06PoloDudedamn :s
02:01.30PoloDudeglad i still live at home ^^
02:01.42Zerylheh, wish i didn't have to pay rent :(
02:01.46Zanix|away:|
02:02.10Zeryluse smarty
02:02.16Linera???
02:02.18Zerylit's the only ful-fledged one in PHP
02:02.29Zerylor write your own
02:02.43LineraI don't know php
02:02.48Linerai'm learning
02:03.47Lineraso i wouldn't know how to write my own
02:03.58AnaxentLinera, if you wanna learn just dive in stop sighing, stop being being a baby pick up a book read tutorals, this is not the place or people to cry too
02:04.38Anaxentnow off to watch 24
02:04.39Lineratutorials don't work for me
02:05.07PoloDudecya Anaxent :p have fun with 24 ^^
02:05.14Zeryl2hour season premier
02:05.35Zanix|awaythen figure something out, we are not here to hold your hand and do all your thinking
02:05.55PoloDudefrom 5th season?
02:06.15LineraI was told by a friend to get a template engine for making a cms
02:06.23Lineraand i can't find one
02:06.26Zerylyour getting in WAY over your head
02:06.29Zerylyou need to start small
02:06.45Zerylthere is a LOT more to programming than knowing syntax
02:06.51Zerylprogramming theory is more important
02:07.49Linera?
02:08.38Zeryla cms is difficult, very difficult, it can take a team of programmers MONTHS to get something ready to even show the world, not saying that it's even usable yet
02:09.28ZerylPolo: we killed our server today :) -- 300+ people running to ogrimar killed it
02:09.40PoloDudelol
02:10.06PoloDudewonder what that will give when all players will be going to portal :p
02:10.23Zanixserver mealtdown
02:10.31PoloDudeprobably hehe
02:10.54PoloDudeseen this one yet? http://worldofraids.free.fr/bc/diagram.jpg
02:11.14Zerylyes
02:11.40Zanixwow
02:11.45Zanixyou are kidding me
02:12.00PoloDudeyou have to get friendly with those dragons at time cavern too i guess?
02:13.08PoloDudethink mount hijal q will be the best :d
02:13.31Linerawell back to the drawing board
02:14.13PoloDudeanyway, off to bed, get some sleep before i go get my CE at midnight ...
02:14.15PoloDudecya
02:14.37PoloDude20h to go ^^
03:12.39Lineraanyone know where they list all the functions for wow addons?
03:13.08Zerylwowwiki
03:13.19Linerai got lost on there
03:15.04Zanixthen you shouldnt be coding a wow addon
03:15.08ZerylFront Page, on the right side, big letter "Interface Customization", under that, UI Begginers Page, and WORLD OF WARCRAFT API
03:16.22Linerawhich one is it? global or widget?
03:17.00Zanixwell, figure it out, you said you learn by doing and not following a tutorial or someone telling you what to do
03:18.14Lineralooks like 90% haven't got an explantion for them typed out
03:18.34ZerylThat's very untrue
03:18.47ZerylI've used it hundreds of times as reference, they have quite a bit of info there
03:19.10Linerai see alot of red links which means that page it links to is blank
03:19.40Linerawell at least on widgets
03:20.03Zerylhttp://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_API
03:20.05Zanixblizz doesnt explain every api function that is available
03:20.23Linerawell that is dumb on blizz's part
03:20.49ZerylNo, it's not
03:20.54Zerylblizzard doesn't explain any of it
03:20.59Zerylit's all been found out through exploration
03:21.13Zerylthey have enough to do, without writing and updating an api after every change
03:21.34Zerylthey are decent enough to say "we've change xxx function", it's not hard to figure out how to use it, especially while looking at how blizzard implements it in their own code
03:26.37Lineralooks like the addon idea i have is impossible
03:26.50Zeryldoubt it
03:28.57Lineraa dkp addon that awards to player not character
03:29.13Zerylthat's what tables are for
03:29.22Zerylin fact, a guildie and I made that exact addon
03:29.40Linerawhere at?
03:29.52Zerylprivate addon, only officers of the guild have it
03:29.58Linera:(
03:30.26Linerai have yet to see one that actually does
03:31.36LineraI don't see any functions that allow you to get who player is and not character
03:31.48Zerylyou can't do that, you have to manually associate main->alt
03:31.56Zerylthat would be a HUGE violation of privacy
03:32.01Linerasee told ya
03:32.06Lineraimpossible
03:32.18Zerylno, it's not impossible, your trying to be lazy, you have to do it manually
03:32.49Zerylit's like me trying to determine which computer is accessing my website behind a school firewall, you can't do it
03:32.51Lineratoo easy for a player to hop onto an alt and not tell you he is on an alt and then have a dkp pool each character
03:32.55Zeryl(you can, but it's nearly imposisble)
03:33.09Zerylagain, that's what a table is for
03:33.27Zeryl<PROTECTED>
03:33.30Zerylreally simple
03:33.44Linerayou just said you have to manually tell it the character is an alt
03:33.46Zerylhell, you could automatically have it do it with a /whisper as well
03:35.37Zerylif you are wanting help w/ lua, i would suggest #wowi-lounge, or #lua, or #wowace
03:37.41Lineraonly thing that came close to tracking alts was an addon where it looks at the guild note(so it wasn't useable for a dkp system)
03:37.59Zerylwhy?
03:38.26draculawe use the guild note for tracking alts
03:38.28Lineraas it sees if the character is an alt or main by the guild note
03:38.49Zerylalot of people do, we have a member alt rank, and the officer note has who's alt it is
03:39.04Zerylworks perfectly fine for us
03:39.20Linerathats good and all for guild
03:39.34Linerabut dkp systems are public
03:39.43Linerawhere anyone can gain dkp
03:40.13draculaoh we dont do that in our guild, dkp only for guildies... actually only guild runs ;)
03:40.16Linerawhere i should be able to see if the player is already on the list
03:40.32Lineranot the character
03:41.01Lineralike a listothercharacter() function
03:41.34Linerawhere it could return the names of all characters own by said player
03:41.36Zerylthen build a listothercharacter function that does a look up to a table
03:42.13Linerathe info needs to be called from blizzard's server
03:42.47Zeryllook, i'm not trying to be an ass here, but your not understanding how you overcome these things.  you really need to learn programming theory before you attempt this stuff
03:43.00Lineracurrent addons force the person to manually tell it where the character is an alt of another character
03:43.02dracula./signed
03:44.00draculaZeryl, you have a char named Onyxia, eh?
03:44.10Zerylyep
03:44.14draculareally?
03:44.20Zerylyep, and a friend has nefarion
03:44.23Linerai would need a function that calls up the names of every character on said server own by player of character in question
03:44.50ZanixI agree with zeryl
03:44.54Linerathen compares those character names to the dkp table to see if they are on the list already
03:45.09Zanixnothing you say or do is gonna make blizz add what you want
03:45.18draculaa friend had picked the name "Garr" when WoW launched, waaaay before Molten Core even existed
03:45.20Zanixyou need to figure out a way around these things
03:45.27Lineraso you see, its impossible
03:45.34Zanixthen stop
03:45.38draculahe was asked to change his name to something else when they added MC
03:45.39Linerano way to track alts
03:45.46Zanixyou dont deserve to code if you think somehting is impossible
03:45.56Lineraand you doubted my addon was impossible
03:46.07Zanixcoding is about making the impossible possible
03:46.30Zeryl<?php  if(in_array($charname, $arrayofchars) { $dkp += $dkpaddition; } else { $arrayofchars[$charname] = $dkpaddition; } ?>
03:46.37Zerylthat's php, took me 5 seconds
03:46.40Zerylit's not impossible
03:47.21Zanixhonestly, you need to learn about coding theory like zeryl said before you continue
03:47.28draculaLinera: stop thinking in a straight line toward your goal, find out what IS possible, workarounds, tricks, and find an channel that IS about learning to code
03:47.29Linerasure you could manually do it but a player can lie so each of his characters have their own dkp instead of it being pooled together
03:47.39Zanixand sitting here begging for help isnt going to get you anywhere
03:48.15Zanixthen that happens, you put in code to be able to remove those associations
03:48.33Zeryllrn2theory
03:48.48Lineracan't if a player lies so you don't pool his dkp from his main and alts
03:48.57Zerylwhy would they? it would be stupid to split your dkp
03:49.35Linerasome players like it spli dkp pools
03:49.40Linerasplit*
03:50.38LineraI have seen it happen many times
03:50.58Zerylthere is absolutely no advantage to it, and if they want to do it, let them
03:51.14Linerathere are advantages to it
03:52.57Zerylpelase enlighten me
03:54.05Zeryli've built 3 different dkp systems, there is absolutely 0 reason to have split dkp and it be an advantage for the player
05:17.08dracula....silence... ;)
05:17.25draculaand bedtime, gn
07:48.09ZerylYAY
07:48.45Zanixfinally
07:48.50Zanixi didnt notice he left

14:00.30draculahmm, everytime I see my bank contents in the roster I get confused....
14:00.46draculathe in-game bank is a grid of 7x4, but on the roster it's 4x7
14:01.05draculainstead of rotating the bank, it wraps
14:01.33draculawhich destroys any attempt of organization in it ;)
14:18.18PleegWatI know, I've noticed before
14:18.31PleegWatThere's no special case, so the bag is 4 wide
14:18.57PleegWatAll bags get indexed in lines, from left to right and from top to bottom
14:37.55draculaoh and a special treatment for the bank is not feasible? :)
15:24.18PleegWatI was playing a game at the time. I'll take a quick look
15:32.22PleegWatYou'll need 3 extra images, copying out a part of the styles, and a copy of lib/bag.php that uses the altered images and some altered numbers.
15:32.35PleegWatAnd adapting 1 line in memberdetails.php
15:37.16PleegWatThe images that need to be altered for 7 slots width are img/bagbg2.gif, img/bagtopbig.gif, and img/bagbottom.gif
15:40.11draculaoh you actually want to show the bank frame in 7x4 format
15:41.50PleegWatIt's not too difficult
15:41.57PleegWatBut it'll look terrible with bad images
15:44.25PleegWathttp://leegwater-68.demon.nl/Roster/char.php?name=Azymyrta&server=Aggramar&action=bank this is what you get without replacing the images
15:52.03PleegWatShould look fine now
15:56.29PleegWatIt's in for 1.7.3
