Ingame Wowhead (preview)

[grift]

using this atm, have to say its great, had a long discussion with a GM about it, and he gave it the thumbs up, so dont appear to be any problems in that aspect.

otherwise i cant see anything wrong with it, the only addition i can think of would be the addition of the boss info page, tacts etc

Great! +Rep for you, for the effort!

Does this work for 3.03? Tried it but doesn't seem to be connecting to the database.

it is TECHNICALLY a violation of the EULA,

B. You agree that you shall not, under any circumstances,

(iii) host, provide or develop matchmaking services for the Game or intercept, emulate or redirect the communication protocols used by Blizzard Entertainment in any way, including, without limitation, through protocol emulation, tunneling, packet sniffing, modifying or adding components to the Game, use of a utility program or any other techniques now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose, including, but not limited to, unauthorized network play over the Internet, network play utilizing commercial or non-commercial gaming networks or as part of content aggregation networks; or

I wouldn't imagine blizzard would get picky about something simple like this, but like the hallows end event its probably when people decide to push it muuuch further (*cough* 20-40 treat bags an hour) and come up with something that they do have objection to that big change happens. I don't imagine it would take much for them to adjust warden to spot that support.wow-europe.com wasn't resolving to where it should be etc.

Not working as of 3.0.3.

grift: thanks for doing it for me. I didn't had a chat with GM since I find it kinda useless -hehe :P

cokane: yes I have tested it and it should work

Stew: seen the hosts trick used in many places to buypass EULA. Since this isn't really any money-making project and it's not ruining the game experience -I doubt they will do much about it. Editing your hosts file is up to you, the addon just tries to help the synergy with the custom server, you can use the database without installing the addon if you like. I think that part of the EULA is more about the game-play itself, and not the in-game support part but yet again it doesn't really matter.

Dragonshadow: update to the new hosts IPs, had a ip-flush not long ago. http://www.ziuo.net/tkdb.php - alternatively use the exe to auto-update both addon and the hosts data.

About the development progress, I know that some bosses return some odd results or errors.. having hard time to make the boss information (tactics/strategy) to show as I want it to, hehe.

Final thoughts on the EULA stuff, I asked many times and send e-mail about it to ask but no one responded so in the end they don't really care about me and my project here. If they do react in future then I won't have much choice than turning the project off but for now I don't see why I shouldn't keep it going.

thanks for sharing!!

i also use lightheaded to show wowhead comments for quests, that helped alot, especially when carbonite screws up D:

[Eepi]

I tried installing this. (I moved the .exe into WoW folder and ran it.) After that when I went to WoW, my Knowledge Base didn't work as it was supposed originally but neither I could search anything. And the TKDB menu button didn't do anything, it just greyed out for few seconds and came back to normal.
Am I doing something wrong or do I need to do something more to make it work?

[Dragonshadow]

it doesn't work right now

[Bareno]

Anyone got an archived version of this addon for 2.4.3? Since I can't update to wotlk, i'm kinda stuck with 2.4.3

Lost it on my old computer ;(

[trygve741]

[brokeuh]

[Eepi]

I would like to see this updated.

[IceColdDrink]

Thanks for the epic addon, even if it dosn't work for WotLK (3.0.3)
But, this addon is so epic anyway!

[Vladinator]

I did some updated on it, tried it and works with WotLK. Recoded almost all of it to improve performance, I hope I have achievement something at least. First post for the DL link, hehe.
