Morpher - Addon

[The-Eradicator]

This addon will go through display IDs one-by-one automatically, with the user being able to stop it and manually change the displayid. It is designed to find decent display IDs you never would have found otherwise.





I wrote this for myself, i'm sure someone else might want to use this as well.

If you don't like it, don't post as I really don't care. Constructive criticism is fine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

It is doing the wrong command for my server. How do I fix this?
Open Morpher.lua, at the top of the script change it from ".modify displayid " to whatever you would like to use. Make sure to include a space.

Sometimes Morpher delays on display IDs and I don't change for several seconds. You suck at coding.
Actually, WoW has thousands of unused display ID numbers. They do not morph you. However, I have no way of determining what these numbers are, so the addon will try those numbers anyway.

How do I install this addon?
Download Morpher.rar from the above Filebeam link. Extract it to your World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons folder.

What version of WoW does this work on?
It was designed on 3.0.9, but it works for all versions. Simply check 'Load out-of-date addons' on the Addons window, on the Character Select screen.

How do I use this addon?
There are several commands, as well as several self-explanatory buttons in the frame.

• #morph toggle - Toggles the frame.
• #morph show - Shows the frame.
• #morph hide - Hides the frame.
• #morph set <ID> - Sets the current ID to <ID>.

Enjoy.

Hawwwwwt. +10 rep

[y2kss66]

wow very nice work. +RepX2
(not quite the X10 that gastric gave but....)

[Dr. Livingstone]

+Rep x2 for a very nice release. More addons like this would make me soo happy.

[The-Eradicator]

+Rep x2 for a very nice release. More addons like this would make me soo happy.

Throw out some ideas, i'd be happy to code them.

[Sounddead]

I don't think I can rep you again, but this is awesome. Great work bro.

[mager1794]

Nice, man +Rep x3 from me XD nice release

[The-Eradicator]

New addon in the works - MassItem. It puts the results of an item lookup in a frame, with mass select + add at once, instantly. Built for MaNGOS, if someone could PM me what an item lookup on Ascent-based cores looks like, that would be much appreciated.

[Vindicated]

Finally a REAL lua release! +rep if I can!

[Hellgawd]

Don't WoW Addons go in the programs section?

[Sounddead]

It was approved and commented on by a mod so I guess its staying here. :P

[pryd]

Great Job, Love the mod and it was so easy to customize for Mangos.

+Rep when I can and Thanks.

Request:

A mod that allows streaming music in wow ( with a selection, tab )
from external sources and can be edited to have as many streams,
or as few as needed.

It's not actually a program, so I put it here.

A mod that allows streaming music in wow ( with a selection, tab )
from external sources and can be edited to have as many streams,
or as few as needed.

As awesome as that would be, i'm fairly positive that's not possible. Blizzard doesn't give us the functions required to do that, because it would be a security risk for anyone running the addon. Sorry. =(

[pryd]

I'm wondering if it would be possible to add onto this program.
Considering it uses .commands, maybe possible to allow this
to search through sounds, cinemas, movies in the same fashion?

Looking at the code, off the bat, I wouldn't know how to allow a second command.

Still great work

[gimmeurlife]

Awesomely Epic! xD This will help me to be even more lazy at 5am when i'm trying to finish making some custom npc's and don't feel like moving lol +Rep when I'm off cooldown
