MovementSpeed-3.0.zip

Supported Versions

  • 11.2.0
  • 5.5.0

New:

  • Added Mists of Pandaria Classic 5.5.0, The War Within 11.2 support & Classic 1.15.7.
  • Added AI-translated localizations for every language supported by WoW. Note: Since these translations were generated by AI, they contain errors. If you'd like to help me fix some of them, or you'd like to volunteer to offer your aid to translate this addon to your language properly, do get in touch! Any help and error reports are greatly appreciated! ♥ (The Changelog will only be available in English for now.)
  • Added Advanced Flight (Dragonriding) speed support for the Player Speed display.
  • A separate, independently customizable Travel Speed display has been added (not available for Classic versions). Settings values can be copied by category from one display to the other.
  • Added a new swap chat command to be able to change which display is modified by chat commands (Player Speed or Travel Speed - not available in Classic).
  • Added settings Profiles to be able to have different setups for different characters: settings profiles are shared on account but profiles can be chosen and applied on a per character basis. Usable via Data Management settings or chat commands (with limited functionality at present).
  • Added new display positioning options allowing for more fine-tuning.
  • Positioning visual aids have been added via Widget Tools (a foundational addon - also developed by me - Movement Speed is built with). Toggle the use of visual aids in the Widget Tools settings.
  • Default settings values are now displayed for every setting in their mouseover tooltips. Right-clicking settings opens a menu to revert changes made or restore default values to them individually.
  • Added a new shorter chat command: /ms alongside /movespeed. (If conflicts with other addons arise, please do report it as an issue so I can make adjustments in the future!)

Changes & Fixes:

  • Coordinates per second values displayed on the Player Speed display now updates based on the direction you're moving in.
  • Shortcuts have been removed from the main addon settings page in Classic.
  • Readded the ability to open specific settings pages from the display right-click menus.
  • The look of checkboxes & settings pages have been updated to match the new settings style.
  • Now a different method is used for throttling speed updates in hopes of conserving some system resources. Note: Travel Speed estimation still generates memory waste to produce the most accurate calculation results due to the way Blizzard makes it possible for addons to access player position. The memory waste generated does get managed and cleaned up by the client over time but I am definitely looking into ways of improvement in the future as needed.
  • Other significant under the hood improvements & fixes.

If you encounter any issues, do not hesitate to report them! Try including when & how they occur, and which other addons are you using to give me the best chance of being able to reproduce & fix them. Try proving any LUA script error messages and if you know how, taint logs as well (when relevant). Thanks a lot for helping!
