Rawr (v2.3.23 released on 9/12) - Page 112

Is there any way to have multiple Rawr Instances running, i.e. running parallel with two different specs? That would be nice to compare custom specs or play around with single talent points in rather different specs.

I realise that this is probably low down on the priority list of things to implement, but having RAWR auto update itself would be neat. I know it notifies on start up that a new version is available, but the option to just hit an "Install" button would be great.

The program continue to edit and manage the XML db file, so or they implement an unique read of them and shared in memory DB and an unique write of them on the last stance closing, or is impossible to do it.
I can say if you just copy in 2-3 different directory all of it you can open a multiple instance of rawr.

You can run multiple copies if you duplicate the whole Rawr folder. Each copy needs its own data files.

Auto-updating would be quite a bit of effort, because there's not even an installer right now; it's just a zip. We've toyed with the idea of providing both a zip and an exe installer, so people can choose which way they prefer, but ultimately that's low priority.

Well, having several instances Running or making a comparison of 2 gear setups would be nice. I would be satisfied with a possibility of Saving the Stats page for one Set to compare the changes with a new setup.

Is there any possibility to ignore the hit/expertise cap to evaluate possible upgrades without changing the entire equipment setup? Or is there a chance that this option will be implemented in a future version of RAWR?

Why would you want that? If the piece puts you over the hit/exp cap, but is still good enough that it doesn't matter, it'll be ranked higher in the gear listing anyway. If you're using the optimizer, well it kind of defeats the purpose to try and find a purposefully non-optimal set.

Astrylian · 01/16/09, 1:31 PM

Right click the item in question, and choose "Evaluate Upgrade". (Works like Build Upgrade List, using your last Optimizer settings, for just the one item)

Why would you not want LINQ ? Its soo awesome. Also its fully supported by Mono. Now that I've said it, I know it would add tedious extraneous downloads for very few added value from a users perspective.

Actually I have a problems with the gems. Rawr is using only the gems I have in my own gear, there are no other gems I can choose under Gems > Normal. I checked the filters already and it seems they arent the problem.

Right now I am both at the hit and expertise cap for cats. Now, if I load my characater into RAWR and look at possible upgrade, all equipment with hit and expertise is a far lower upgrade than they are in "reality" because their hit/expertise attributes are not counted. I have to manually change my equipped set just to see if, for example, right now the Sphere of Red Dragon Blood is rated lower for me than the Fizzles Pocketwatch, because of my hit cap. I could use the Legs of Fleetings Moments to decrease my hit rating and the Sphere would jump to a much higher place. Or a different ring, if it happens that I can loot it in Naxx etc.

Are you using the default itemcache? If you goto Tools, edit items, do the many gems appear there?

What you're describing is exactly what the Optimizer is for, especially its Build Upgrade List feature.

EDIT: Oops, sorry about the double post.

I recently tried to import my character with the character-profiler addon.
The armory was up and running so the lines
"Rawr encountered an error getting Item from the Armory" are not caused by that .
I had problems with:

12344: Seal of Ascension (UBRS_KEY)
18398: Tidal Loop ( reward from hydraxis in Azshara )
36426 : Stirrup Ring ( rndm drop with a rdnm "enchant"/suffix)
18403: Dragonslayer's Signet (reward from quest given by the head of onyxia)
23066: Ring of Redemption ( part of the t3 in prebc naxxramas)
21197: Signet Ring of the Bronze Dragonflight ( reputation reward for the brood of nozdormu from anachronos )

These are old items and probably wont be useful to improve your gear, but i think they at least shouldnt cause errors

Astrylian · 01/19/09, 12:50 PM

Did it say what the errors actually were? All of those items load fine for me. Sounds like those were the only items that Rawr didn't already know about, and it wasn't able to contact the Armory (which is not the same as whether the Armory was up and running). Is Rawr able to access the Armory?
