[BETA] PQRotation - an automated ability priority queue.

[Holobyte]

No, it's no longer true, basically for the reason you specified, as well as others. Loading the file "manually" by calling it in the rotation is the only way to get PQR to load data files now.

Oh, ok.
On the other hand, data files could still get automaticaly loaded when the user activates a profile. As long as the data file has the same profile author's name.
So loading Holobyte_DEATHKNIGHT_Abilities.xml would cause PQR_Holobyte.lua data file to be automaticaly loaded. If needed, aditional data files could still be manualy loaded.

Anyway, I'm trying some new stuff and I was confused about it. Thanks for the info!

You just need to call PQR_LoadLua("PQR_Holobyte.lua") once in your rotation.

If you call PQR_LoadLua("PQR_Holobyte.lua", true) it will be force loaded every time it is called as opposed to only loaded once (most common use).

The reason why I made this change was because it was pointless loading 12 different datafiles if only 1 or 2 of them were going to be used at a time.

Also, the error that is being seen regarding PQR_Addon_Loaded is internal PQR code yes, however that error will only be seen when there are syntax errors in ability code (missing a ) or an end or something.) since everything is loaded into WoW in one go. I will eventually inject in two batches so my code gets loaded separately, then all of the abilities injected.

And while I am going off to work... does anyone know a way to validate Lua code inside WoW before it is run to at least make sure it is structurally sound? I don't care if they are using a bad variable name or whatever, just want to avoid these errors. Maybe I can find some way of doing it with C# if Lua can't handle it.

[Holobyte]

Yeah I understand the reason why u removed the automatic loading of datafiles. Just tought I should make the suggestion of loading only the datafile that has the same name of the current profile.

As for Lua code validation, see this 2 links: one is a validator written in C, the other uses a Lua script to validate another .Lua file.
lua-checker - Check Lua source code for various errors. - Google Project Hosting
lua-users wiki: Visual Studio Syntax Check

Edit: If the above doesn't helps I can code a LUA parser/validator in c# for you, the only problem is that I wont be able to start working on it until saturday.

Anyone have any good Enhancement Shaman profiles? PvP or PvE.

I'm using Sheurons Warrior Fury PVE rotation at the moment but i only seem to be pulling off 11k dps in full 390 gear (in LFR) is this just because im in PVP gear? It still seems really low, maybe someone has some input on this?

Thanks!

the profile may possibly check for 2 set/4 set for pve, but I'm not familiar with fury spec so that and that you are in pvp gear is my only guess.

[luckysurfcs]

ah so you think that maybe it doesn't work properly because i dont have 2/4 set bonus? i literally just got legs/shoulders pve tier (LFR) so i'll see if i notice any changes.
any other reponse to this would be much apprechiated.

Anyway you could possibly make a converter so your profiles would work with HonorBuddy?

Why?Pqr works great as it and you can have pqr and honorbuddy on at the same time if that helps

I don't think that's possible.

But, PQR is def better than Honorbuddy DPS wise.

[Chicotheman]

Crystal_Tech is there any way you could upload your demo profile sans demon switch? I'd love to use it until you get demon switched properly programmed in, and just do it manually via macro!

^ this, The macro is so easy to use it would really help impatient people like me =)

i don't get the 3.3.5a version to work at all
i tried several diffrent profiles and often i just get a lua error and it says its activated but does nothing

and sometimes it only uses mutilate in pve and none other ability


how can i correct this?

I know some people who run PQR with Honorbuddy, maybe they will post in this thread how they manage it.

spellids are prob wrong. as most if not all profile writers write for 4.3 and mists you will prob need to write your own profile.

As for the Demo Profile,

Like I said its done . The reason I haven't released it yet is i'm running my tests to see if i can break it or force out any more bugs. So far all seems to be good and i've found 3 bugs that i would of had to fix had I released it earlier. If I can't get another bug in my next lfr I'll say its ready and i'll post it. so check back soon.
