Thank you I am very pleased that the addon will work on WoW Classic. Of course, many opportunities on the classics are not needed, because there are no many opportunities on the classics. :-D
However, I would like to ask about the Retail version: why in the last update the highlighting on the received and lost gold disappeared? It was visually very comfortable and pleasant. And in general, I wanted to thank gold for the loss tracking function. Now I can immediately watch in horror how much I spend gold on putting the entire transmog up for auction.
I’m also wondering if it’s possible to carry out the same cost tracking regarding currency?
Hi!
Right now, in 80200.03, by default, gold toasts work like they used to work before 80200.02, they only show gold gain that's above set copper threshold, however, there's also an option to switch them into the new mode I added in 80200.02, it's called "Track Loss" or whatever it might be in your language.
As for currency tracking in a similar fashion, I'm actually thinking about adding something like that, but it's a bit less straightforward code-wise, so it'll take some time.
In reply to i_lightspark:
However, it is interesting how about highlighting losses in red and acquisitions in green. Why abandoned this feature?
K, figured it out, I'll add optional currency loss tracking w/ the next update.
I'll also add fragment toasts to the archaeology group
Good news, everyone!
There'll be a version for Classic, but it'll have fewer features, due to API changes the only toasts types that survived are common loot and gold toasts. I'm currently cleaning stuff up, but it works 😁🔫
I'm aware of the fact that not everyone is happy about the gold toast changes, so atm I'm considering doing two things:
If irritates you too much, downgrade to 80200.01.
In reply to i_lightspark:
Would it be possible to consider adding a toggle, that let people add turn on + gold or - gold if they want to, if either is turned off then it just acts like the old version?
Appreciate this is your addon and your own preferences. I've reverted myself as I did prefer the old method. Thanks though for keep the addon running and updated, either way, that's appreciated!
Yeah, I'll be adding a toggle for tracking gold losses and I'll re-add copper threshold as well.
I'll prob push a small update tomorrow.
In reply to i_lightspark:
Many thanks appreciate the time you're putting into the addon and listening to the feedback, its appreciate alot
Good day to the authors of the modification!
I express my gratitude for your work! Your mod has made it easier for me to display the received loot and as a whole has pleasantly visualized the farm process.
I wish you further success and really hope to see the modification work on the classic version of the game. Thank!
Will this work with wow classic?
Sup!
I don't know yet, and there's two reasons:
- It's very likely that needed events and API won't be available by the time Classic goes live, current Classic UI API is similar to 8.1, but they keep removing stuff from it >_>;
- I'm not interested in playing Classic.
But we'll see.
A minor update on said topic.
Yes, there'll be a version for Classic.
Hi _lightspark_,
as always, i love your Addons, like ls:UI and this one here.
Just a little question/wish: is it possible to add gained EXP to the toasts?
Sup! TY <3
Well, it's doable, but I'm def not going to add it. XP gains aren't that important in general, but are VERY spammy >_>
Off, I should read curse comments more often >_> Soz for the late reply.
In reply to i_lightspark:
I like the idea of having a second toast anchor with my gained XP. I mean, people can toggle this option off if they want.
And no problem, i would never blame you on a late reply :D
Is there another way to give feedback and suggestions?
Well, I primarily read/post stuff on WoWInterface, esp when it comes to ls_UI feedback, it's just easier to post stuff there.
Curse often fails to notify me about PMs or new comments, so it's not really reliable. But I eventually reply here :D
I also lurk in various discord servers related to addon development, the most user-friendly one is probably tukui/elvui server, I'm one of oUF devs, so I'm there to gather feedback and sometimes help w/ their stuff :V
Right now, v80100.07, there's an issue w/ item tooltips that's caused by something in 8.1.5, and I have no idea what's going on >_>
-- edit
Fixed in 80100.08. Love me some fresh Blizz bugs :V
I just found this addon by accident. AWESOME! I feel that this will be my must have addon in the future from now!
I have a little problem also. I would like to use the Blizzard default toasts for achievements and garrison messages, but this addon either use its own or disable it completely. Can we have an option for using the all available default blizzard one?
Hi!
Sadly, nope, allowing users to mix blizz and my toasts is a can of worms which I def don't want to open ever again. At some point in the past it's doable, but it's a huge PITA. Moreover, in some cases, for instance, loot toasts, it's entirely impossible to mix those.
Anyway, why do you want to use blizz achievement and garrison-related toasts? O_o
