[BETA] WRadar - Windows Radar (for WoW)

[LaoArchAngel]

Yes, it is. Just follow the instructions on the first post to load the tracking screen and type in somthing like "time-lost*" or "* proto*" without the "".

Just FYI peeps, I'm not dead. I work for a SaaS company and we're coming up on a huge deadline. I'm working 18-hour shifts sometimes. I'm still developing this. I'm actually looking into expanding this for Rift, which is currently my MMO of choice, but I still have an active WoW account for development.

If there are any bugs, let me know. Same for requests. If you want to take part in this project, let me know as well. It's open source.

And if you by any chance can get an object manager from Rift, please let me know as well! I'll gladly make the IO framework for it and plug it into the radar.

I was wondering if this is safe to use with retail wow? I use quick-track all the time, and i feel that is relatively safe but this is a whole new ball park lol i know everything on this site carry's some risk but in your guys opinion do you think this is safe to use?

[LaoArchAngel]

As you've stated, everything here carries some risk. However, this is among the safest apps to use because it does not make any writes to the game's memory. It only reads. You also can't "show off" this app by walkin in mid-air or things like that. Also, this app renames its window every time you run it. And if you rename the exe yourself, it becomes even safer.

That said, most things here makes your account liable for a ban. So use it wisely.

Would this would well in a BG? Meaning how bad would the update lag be and can it actively find and mark the enemy players as quick as they show up? Im asking for an example of alteric valley which their is a shit ton of players running around. but after i get an answer to this i plan to start using this, so thanks so much for this great app

[LaoArchAngel]

Not sure. I've never actually used it for that purpose. I imagine that you'll get about 1/2 to a second drawing lag when you're surrounded by other players. And, of course, stealthed rogues you cannot see will not show up. And finally, I do not have any logic in there to differentiate between friend and foe yet. Which means that the radar will show you if people are coming, but not of they're coming to help or kill you.

Sorry, but as far as BGs go, I wouldn't say this is a finished product.

[ScubaSteve3465]

yea thats the only reason i wanted it, so i could see enemy players in bgs, especially alteric valley, i like this alot but until that function gets built in with FOF tags built in il just have to wait i just tried it in a bg and it would have worked awesome if it would color the alliance players :'(

Holy Thank's mate! You tha man. I'm using this right now, this is soo freakin legit +repped

I love this tool, it is powerful. Thanks for your hard work.

Without looking at any source code I have a recommendation about your program's methodology.

Since wow sends objects in "chunks" keep track of the player's XY and scroll the background objects relative to the players movement using the same objects until a new chunk is received.

It should end up being significantly faster instead of refreshing all the objects on every refresh.

Takes a little getting used to but it's coming in quite handy. Look forward to seeing future developments.
