In current version (38443) it seems like TPS meter is not working at all. Also it would be nice to get % treath thingy like in KTM so i dont have to see those 24k treath on someone and 34k on one.

Yarrr modern pirate!

Heh, think I broke that this morning trying to make performance improvements. I'll look at it tonight. Percents are coming as well.

PTR renaming is a different issue, I think, although you might also not be able use the name anymore as a separate issue.

PTRs always make you rename your character, regardless of whether it's taken or not.

I can as well confirm Al'ar does not reset aggro at p1->p2 and it's a good thing cause he can be taunted. As an enhancement shaman I usually have aggro problems on almost all fights but not on this one. After he reborns in p2 a warrior taunts him and I am good to go (cause in p1 I kill adds only).

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I actually tried to create a level 1 character to tag the name while waiting for the character transfer and had to pick a different name.

But that's really a different issue (aside from judging how likely naming clashes with pets of various types may be in the future) and I don't really want to take up space that's better spent on discussing threatmeter-related concerns.

in the chatbox gives

Also, what would the API be for a threat reset of an individual mob (raid-wide)?

Either Omen or Threat is causing my other Ace2 addons to freak out right now.

Edit - looks like its omen. Seems to be causing issues with Fubar. I get
...Fubar\libs\AceAddon2.0.lua:437:attempt to index field 'possibleNames'(a nil value)
whenever Omen is enabled.

This is a job for the client makers, really, and would really be appreciated if someone could implement it.
Best would be to make the colors customizable.
So my suggestion:
- Make bar colors customizable (class, yourself)
- Names too (Dark grey bars with name in class color and the player in plain red would be sweet)
- Additional markers optional
I think that's not too much to ask

I committed some drycode this morning (I'm still allowed to! It's still alpha!) so I expect it's likely broken right now

Arawethion: I'll check out the error on the raid threat wipe.

To wipe a single mob:

/script AceLibrary("Threat-1.0"):WipeRaidThreatOnMob("exact mob name")
The mob name should be auto-localized by Threat, so no worries if you have people of another locale in the raid.

This actually wipes your target threat and sets a global threat offset so that future queries on that mob return targetThreat + globalThreat - globalThreatOffset. This makes it cleaner than doing a full raid threat wipe, because you don't want to wipe global (healing/gain) threat for all mobs when one mob does a raidwide threat clear.

Yah that's something I don't get about the wowace subversion. Why does everyone commit directly to the trunk instead of making a branch to test on? The trunk should always be the stable version.

WoWInterface is the stable version.

There's stuff on wowace that has been there for over a year of dev and never made it anywhere else.

Last I heard, the WoWAce SVN was more for "the latest and greatest" rather then the most stable.

Well that's fine but what I'm saying is, the trunk is usually the "stable" base. You don't test code on the trunk, you create a branch and test it there, and then integrate onto the trunk.

For me, it's twofold:

a) I'm lazy. Branching and merging is a pain.
b) It's still alpha. If you don't want it to break, don't use it while it's under heavy dev.

Yah I'm not harshing on you Antiarc, just the Ace SVN in general. I've seen people commit changes that totally break mods that had been perfectly fine, its like they don't bother testing it. But the concept should still to be to branch and merge.

Strange bug today... after three different Leotheras attempts, a warlock had threat linger on the threat meter. Only he and I have the mod installed, and rogues don't put out global threat, so I figure it may not only be limited to him, and both of us could see the threat at least one of the times.

edit: later in the raid, my threat stuck on the meter after a wipe on Vashj.
