[BETA] PQRotation - an automated ability priority queue.

[farnumdizzle]

Hey guys, sorry I've been super busy, but I thought I'd come back and share a little trick to use to get idTip working on the beta.

Simply copy the core.lua from the idTip folder into PQR's Data folder, add the PQR_ prefix to it, then load it as Xelper suggested at the start of a profile:

if PQR_LoadLua("PQR_core.lua") == false then
    PQR_WriteToChat("You are missing PQR_core.lua. Rotation has been stopped.", "Error")
    PQR_StopRotation()
    return true
end

Start the rotation and you should have spell ID information available!

Hope this helped all you beta profile writers!

Edit: Quick question, Xelper, I noticed you made a post regarding multi-line LUA comments causing an error in a previous version, does that mean we're allowed to use them now?

Also, I'm running into the same problem of repping everyone I can for everything useful, but then not being able to give more to someone before spreading more rep... but to let you know that YES, your stuff is appreciated, thank you to firepong, Valma, sheuron, bu_ba (and mentally, since they're a team!), Xelper, Gabbz, kickmydog, diesall, and anyone else that I tried to rep and couldn't.

Hey, just tested it by putting it into firepongs feral beta profile and it was showing spellIDs, so thanks for the tip!

Edit: Can't rep you! gotta spread it around :/

Mine is almost like this, but it takes from my mouseover and converts it into spellid. If there was no mouseover it just returned nil and 0 for name and spellid. Ill have to try this out though.

Does it show the spellid with the tooltip like the adding or is it printed in chat?

Hey, I just got done getting all the spellIDs for ele and enhance shaman. The way it worked, it would put the spellID in the tooltip when you moused over it.

Still working on v2.2 of my Unholy DK profile. Several tweaks have been made to the Scourge Strike build to more closely replicate arena play.

Next version will likely have PQInterface notifications and the affectionately-named "nuke" function, and possibly triggers based on events read from the combat log.

Please PM me with suggestions. I did RBGs with a team kind enough to bring an Unholy DK, and did excellent damage. Healers melt ^^

Also special thanks to my Beta Account provider, leaving anonymous unless he comes forth to claim praise XD

Awesome to hear. Buba, feel free to work on Windwalker too. I don't have my own beta account so my playtime is unknown. Feel free to use what Xelper created and I added to as a base.

[ishtro]

i have a total of 5 accounts, so far only one beta invite which i gave to bubba. when/if i get another beta invite, i will give it out to another profile creator. we gotta keep PQR rolling ;p

I need to agree with Taran32; a PQR guild seems like a monumentally bad idea.

It'd be iffy enough to be part of any OwnedCore guild, even for purely social reasons; a guild formed for the express purpose of cheating in (I assume) PvP seems dangerous.

It only takes one person and an accidental instant interrupt to invite an investigation.

These are valid points and I appreciate your concerns. Just to be clear, we would not openly express ourselves for the "purpose of cheating". Firstly, I am seeing if there is interest in forming such a team, and if so, then we would take it offline to form. The guild wouldn't be publicly advertised on these boards. It wouldn't be an open guild for all PQR users to join and get assistance. Ideally, we will form with board users that can be trusted. Again, at this stage I'm strictly taking names to see if it's doable.

On a personal level, I would rather play with fellow players that take the same approach to the game that I do.

If Xelper is against the idea of this then by all means I will remove my posts to protect the integrity of his work.

You have to understand what creating a kind of "banner" does. All it takes is one person being dumb enough to think that Guild Chat is OK. It's a bad idea, no matter what. Enjoy PQR by all means, but don't create banners such as guilds around it. Pirox users used to say the same thing about doing something with his program. It got popular, and it got shut down. Plain and simple. The more you put something like this out there, the more likely something like that happens.

There's really nothing stopping anyone from mentioning PQR in any guild, trade chat, forums, etc... I've seen posts come up on MMO-champion about it (that's actually how I heard about PQR). There's no telling when it may get into the wrong hands. The most that one can do is put controls in place to help prevent it from being placed in the wrong hands. Obviously, we would not condone speaking about PQR in Guild chat. And you're right, there are forces outside of your control. Someone could still slip up and do it. Just like anyone could still report this page to Blizzard or post about it on MMO-champion. Any program that gets popular will naturally become riskier to use. We've seen it before with other programs as you mentioned.

Works great! Makes focusing on the tactics to the fights much easyer! +rep

All it takes, is one person to invite a buddy who knows nothing about PQR, and that entire plan backfires. It's not a good idea. I understand that you can't really control certain people mentioning it outside of this forum, but creating any sort of guild where the entirety of said guild is made up of PQR users (who will obviously mention it to their friends and possibly even invite them) is a bad idea.

That's another level of advertisement you CAN control, and the best course of control is to scrap the idea entirely. I know you're not talking about naming the thing "PQR Central" or something like that, but inviting a host of PQR users into one central community outside of these forums is just asking for trouble.

It shows in the tooltip (mousing over abilities, clicking an ability in the combat log, mousing over buffs, etc).

@bu_ba, if you're not planning to throw that up on the SVN immediately, let me know if you need a tester for Mistwalker, even if it's just low-level, bare-bones. PM or email me! Hopefully my idTip suggestion helped you out, if you hadn't already figured it out. :P

lol currently getting some errors from my data file after i added in some of the monk data..... so until i get that sorted going to keep this under wraps XD also since I have been dealing with that stopped leveling

i'm gonna be heading to bed cuz i got work in the morning, but i'll figure this out by tomorrow night i'm sure, probably typoed somewhere ;p

and ty for the idtip thing... i had worked out a work-around, but they disabled /script in game so it wouldn't have worked anyways so that did speed it up haha!!!

if there a way to check combo points on the last target i.e. checking combo points on a player you just killed so you can SR off them,

right now am thinking about a mouseover check but not sure if theres an easier way then

local ran = IsSpellInRange("Faerie Fire", "mouseover")
local pCP = GetComboPoints("player", "mouseover")
local sr, _, _, _, _, _, srtimer = UnitbuffID("player", 1079)
local cb = UnitAffectingCombat("player")

if sr and cb == nil and ran ~= nil and pCP > 0 then
		return true
	else
	if sr and ran ~=nil then
		if cb == nil then
			if pCP >1 then
			if srtimer - gettime () <9 then
			 return true
			 else
			 if pCP >2 then
			 if srtimer - gettime () <18 then
			 return true
			else
			 if pCP >3 then
			 if srtimer - gettime () <27 then
			 return true
			 else
			 if pCP >4 then
			 if srtimer - gettime () <36 then
			 else
			 if pCP ==5 then
			 if srtimer - gettime () <45 then
			 return true
			 end
			 end
			 end
			 end
			 end
			 end
			 end
			 end
			 end
		end
		end 
	end
end

using faerie fire as a range check as its 35 yards and I no SR is 100 but wanted a cut off point (mainly for if I can get the target working properly any help for my noobishness would be great
