New Add-on: BossTracker v1.7

[rezardi]

Another sexy addon by ciuine. Been using this for a few days so far and its a REALLY great addition to the game. Just having to type /bttrack each time i log on is kind of annoying, and i sometimes forget or dont remember if it is on or off. If i modify it in the file itself, will it be recording whenever i log on automatically?

Either way, i noticed an error with Kazad: He does 3 different things over time.

Spawn 3+ Skeleton priests > Charge up and use Unnatural Blow (360° AoE which HURTS!) > spawn a horde of rather weak poison zombies(no threat at all) and stand still.

All of these things are either not named OR use the name "Unnatural Blow" or not shown up on the list. I know you said that it cant properly display summoning mechanics, but it actually does show one of the summoning phases; cant remember which.


Currently doing lots of astral, again, so i guess i will provide the data here every week, so that you can make this addon even more awesome than it is.

Example post from lv 40 lb hc done by my incarnation.

At the times the skills are shown two times, the boss casted them only ones, I guess that are pet-hits? (Feuerball is the NA-"Meteor").

So we "only" have to recollect the skillnames and the Bossnames?

[ciuine]

Yep, the times shouldn't be any different.

Code: Select all

["Semer Karpol"] = {
   ["Surge of Lightning"] = 10, --Blitzwoge
   ["Meteor"] = 5, --Feuerball
   ["Frosty Grave"] = 28, --Elsiges Grab
        ["Molten Elemental"] = 30, --new value only in my version
},

To rezardi, I'll post up the secondary version that is initially tracking until turned off some time today.

For Kazad I currently have,

Code: Select all

["Kazad"] = {
   ["Basic Attack"] = 3,
   ["Unnatural Blow"] = 30, --GUESS
   [""] = 25, --GUESS
},

I'm assuming that Unnatural Blow is the actual attack, and that the no-named attack is the debuff leading up to the attack, possibly. The issue with Kazad is that you'd have to have someone willing to get whacked by the almost one-shot Unnatural Blow, two to three times in sequence in a fight. If you could provide more data that'd be great. Don't fret over spawns at the moment, I'll work out a system and try and get it working before I suggest people update to it.

Edit: Posted up the two versions; one auto-tracks with no command, the other requires the command atleast once a login.

Second edit: I've written up some simple spawn tracking codes. (not yet available in the published versions)

Code: Select all

function TrackSpawn(p)
   local bFP
   for i, v in avatar.GetUnitList() do
      if unit.IsPlayer(v) == false and (unit.GetQuality(v) == UNIT_QUALITY_RAID_BOSS or unit.GetQuality(v) == UNIT_QUALITY_BOSS) and unit.IsInCombat(v) and unit.IsTaggedByMainPlayer(v) then
         bFP = v
      end
   end
   if bFP ~= nil then
      local t
      for i, v in Tracked do
         if v.ID == bFP then
            t = i
         end
      end
      if not t then
         table.insert(Tracked, {["Name"] = userMods.FromWString(object.GetName(bFP)), ["Time"] = 0, ["ID"] = bFP})
      end
      for i, v in Tracked do
         if v.ID == bFP then
            t = i
         end
      end
      if not TimerTracker[t] then
         TimerTracker[t] = {}
      end
      local spawnName = userMods.FromWString(object.GetName(p.unitId))
      if not Tracked[t][spawnName] then
         Tracked[t][spawnName] = {["TimeUsed"] = "", ["Widget"] = nil,}
         Tracked[t][spawnName]["SpellType"] = "Spawn"
         Tracked[t][spawnName]["Widget"] = mainForm:CreateWidgetByDesc(ContIntDesc)
         Container:AddChild(Tracked[t][spawnName]["Widget"])
      end
      if BossTable[userMods.FromWString(object.GetName(bFP))] then
         TrackCreate({["name"] = userMods.ToWString(spawnName),}, Tracked[t][spawnName]["Widget"], BossTable[userMods.FromWString(object.GetName(bFP))], object.GetName(bFP), t)
         TrackSort()
      end
      Tracked[t][spawnName]["TimeUsed"] = Tracked[t][spawnName]["TimeUsed"].." "..Tracked[t]["Time"].."s"
   end
end

This also requires that this be added to the Init();

Code: Select all

common.RegisterEventHandler(TrackSpawn, "EVENT_UNIT_SPAWNED")

Obvious tracking flaw is that it will track all mobs that spawn/despawn during a boss fight, including those that are not part of the fight and just patrol the borders of your visibility. Only the actual mobs being tracked will be useful, and if I do not know the fight this will require some extra assistance other than showing me just the data.

[rangun]

Have you plans to add a option to localize the addon, and if yes, what data do you need?

Would this format be enough for a localized version(Lagunenkuppe (laguna boil)?

I removed all spawns wich don`t belong to the bosses. Trance from the final boss is only used if he hits 20% mp (let him to that, so I can reecord this)

[ciuine]

If the name/skill/spawn name data is provided to me, I have no problem making/posting another version for each language. Including EU English.

Later tonight I'll probably post up a new version that has Semer's spawn data, Hikut and Jade Labyrinth (from the_mexican_guy), and try and talk Jackal into giving me his Layer 3 boss data collection.

I think I'll work on a health/mana% mechanic later as well, that I'll label as H% or M% before the name of the ability. Then I'll have to work on a timing mechanic for fights that have timed phase changes probably.

[rezardi]

I am putting personal comments in brackets. I am tank, so collecting boss data shouldnt be that hard for me. The mods.txt. is LOTTA messy though, with lots of addons causing errors and such.

Data for Concentrated poison and Acid strike is wrong, because in that fight, i barely ever stand still to avoid C. poison stacks(applies stacks every 4 or so seconds) and prevent him from using acid strike(10 second party DoT, uses it again after the 10 seconds end, both skills very powerful)
Waterfolk Devottee only uses basic ranged attack when you aren't close to him.



That's all i got right now, didnt get to record anything else other than existant data here already. Mostly because i am running the same sector in L3 most of the time atm.

I The mods.txt. is LOTTA messy though, with lots of addons causing errors and such.

Sitting in train while reading this:

Its a bit messy, but should work:

http://suralc.bplaced.net/modtxt/bosstrackCleaner.php

Just copy+paste your mods.txt in the textarea and click the button (ignore the ads, it`s just free webspace).

A cleaned mods.txt will be shown, only with the entrys from the Bosstracker.

Also working on a way to transform the mods.txt directly to a lua table(not really hard, but only 20 minutes left on this train, so I have to hurry)

[ciuine]

Uploaded a new version with a few fixes, new bosses, and some new tracked mechanics.

When I implement the health/mana detection, I might need to rewrite the entire add-on to function a wee-bit differently so that I can color code the different mechancis and possible allow for people to see how long a certain buff/debuff a boss casts lasts on top of seeing when the next one is coming.

[ciuine]

Uploaded new version, with much awesomeness. Now allows you to click on bars for buff/debuffs (red ones) for easy healer targeting and a bunch of other stuff.

[rangun]

Yeah, the last skill shown on the picture is pure awesomness ;D

Great work, as always
If we would provide localized content for the addon, would you add it to the "official" version, or would we have to create subversions for each guild?
