What's new

4.0.8

  • Fixed an issue that could corrupt the killed timers and cause the icons to show on your map for ever with the timer 00:00:00.
    • If you have in your database a NPC corrupted, it will fix it the next time you load your game and it will start counting again from that moment.

4.0.7

4.0.6

4.0.5

4.0.4

4.0.3

4.0.2

4.0.1

4.0

  • New map interface.
    • Whenever you find a rare it will show up in your map, so you will know where you found it. You can find a group to kill him using this new icon on the map.
    • Everytime a guildie or someone in your party finds a rare, they will share it with you, so you will have an updated map with the current position and the last time a rare has been seen in a period of time (by default 2 hours).
    • New map interface options window. You can disable this new feature or define how long you will see the rare in your map, or see them permantely.
    • The map interfaces interacts with your filters, so you can disable the icons filtering the rare, the zone where it is, or even selecting it as dead (if it's a rare that stops being a rare once you kill it).
  • New rare filters window. Now you can filter by continent/category and zones, no more heavy windows with checkboxes.
  • New zone filters window. Now you can filter by continent/category.
    • Improved localization for zones, now it uses ingame strings instead of external localization.
  • Zone filters improved. Before when you were flying between a filtered zone and a non filtered zone, you could get alerted from rares at the filtered zone if they were at the border. Now the addon memorizes the rare's position so it shouldn't happen again.
  • Improved LFR messages, it should show fewer messages.
  • Improved dead detector to avoid false deads of rares close to you.
  • Database updated with 7.3.5 rares.
  • Localization updated

3.5.1

  • Now the addon remembers the groups that you have joined for 6 minutes, so if you want to try to find another group for the same NPC, you won't keep rejoining the same one.
  • Fixed selecting target whenever you find a vignette whose name doesn't match the real NPC name (for example Naroua should show up as "Naroua" and not "Naroua, King of the Forest" anymore).
  • Removed debug trace shown when you find a group by NPC ID (sorry about that).

3.5

  • Improved NPC identification for those vignettes whose names don't match the real NPC name (for example Naroua).
  • Fixed filter hiding the button with treasures. Now it shouldn't sound an alarm if you have filtered the zone where it's being found.
  • Fixed garrison container filter. It shouldn't show up again if you have it disabled.
  • Now you can disable showing the miniature (independent filter).
  • Added new options tab for the group finder.
    • You will have to reconfigure everything related with the LFG (sorry, there was no other way, but there were just a couple of options, it won't take too long)
    • New option. Now you can create groups with the title in your language (it should help countries in Asia where they don't use English that much).
    • New option: Now you can find groups in your language (same intention as the filter before).
    • New option: Now you can enable searching for a second time by NPC ID. It will show an extra dialog asking you to search again if the first search by name didn't get results.
    • New option: Now you can disable showing the leaving group dialog.
  • Updated russian localization (thanks to dartraiden).

3.4

  • New profile system. Now you can share configurations between characters (no more refiltering for every single character).
    • Your current configuration will be migrated to the new system the first time you login with each character.
  • Fixed an issue with the database that was causing not finding groups for specific NPCs, when there were plenty of them in the LFG. This should solve the issue that some people reported on the addon page.
  • Added the NPCID to new groups, it should help incrementing the amount of people joining a group created with RareScanner.
  • Now the NPC links won't be shown with treasures or chests.

3.3.3

  • Fixed a bug that could interfere with other addons overriding the world map event "OnUpdate".
  • Updated russian localization (thanks to dartraiden).

3.3.2

  • Fixed the message shown when you try to create a group instead of finding one (I broke it in the previous release, sorry!)
  • New hyperlink feature!
    • While you are in combat Blizzard doesn't allow me to show frames, buttons, etc, so right now you have to leave combat in order to see the button and be able to create/find a group.
    • Now, and only when you are in combat, a new message will show up in your chat with an hyperlink, allowing you to use it as the LFG button. This hyperlink is sensitive to the mouse button configuration you use, so for example with right click you will create a group, and with left click you will look for an existing one.
  • Let's hope I don't break anything else :P

3.3.1

  • Improved even more the searching system, not it should find the most of the groups in the LFG.

3.3

  • Improved searching system, not it finds a lot more groups than before.
  • Fixed an error that could hang the searching button under certain situations.
  • Updated traditional chinese localization (thanks to BNSSNB).
  • Updated russian localization (thanks to dartraiden).

3.2

  • Improved rejoining logic. Now it should remember if a group didn't invite you or accepted you, so you won't try to join it again.
  • Added new filter: Now you can disable the addon in instances (RareScanner -> general).
  • Updated german localization (thanks to KeldorDE).
  • Updated russian localization (thanks to BLizzatron and dartraiden).
  • Updated toc description in several languages.
  • Updated loot tables.

3.1

  • Fixed an error that wouldn't let you rejoin a group after being rejected from a previous group.
  • Fixed message shown when you create a new group (without looking for one).
  • Now you can chose which buttons you want to use for joining/creating or only creating groups (options -> display).
  • Now you can disable autohiding the log window buttons or change the time to autohide. If you decide to disable autohiding at all (set 0 minutes), the buttons will stack up to 5, renewing the older ones with new findings (options -> display).
  • Updated traditional chinese localization (thanks to BNSSNB).
  • Updated loot tables.

3.0.2

  • Removed logger trace. Sorry about that.

3.0.1

  • Added missing localization string.

3.0

  • New log window. If two or more NPCs appear at the same time, or your button autohides too fast, it will record the previous NPCs in an auxiliar window, so you won't lose track of any rare NPC. In this new window you can find groups for every found NPC or select the NPC clicking on the buttons.
  • Looking for group improvements.
    • Now you can RightClick the "eye" button to directly create a new group, or LeftClick to find/create.
    • Fixed some issues whenever you couldn't join a group or you were rejected.
    • General improvements.
  • Display filters windows revamped.
    • New categories to easily find each option. 
    • New filter: Now you can disable showing the button for chests or treasures without disabling the chat and audio alerts.
  • Cooler chat messages (why not?).
  • Updated german translations (thanks to Salty).
  • Updated loot tables.

2.6

  • Experimental: New group finder option.
    • I've been testing this new function for a while and seems to work fine, however I have in mind to add a little registry of found NPCs because between hopping to another server and finding several NPCs at the same time, the button might switch to another NPC/treasure and you won't have enough time to use this. In the meantime I want to see how this works in a calmer environment, so here it goes!
    • If you are using autohidding the button, I suggest to increase the time or even disable it, so you won't lose the button while you are looking for a group. With the future registry window this won't be an issue anymore.
    • If you aren't happy with this new function, you can disable it from the options panel (in the display option).

2.5.1

  • Updated loot tables.

2.5

  • Updated addon for patch 7.3.0 (I will keep updating the loot tables in the addon the next couple of weeks).

2.4.4

  • Added patch 7.2.5 rares (new rare in the darkmoon faire and others).
  • Now you can disable warnings in legion raids from the zone filters panel.

2.4.3

  • Updated loot tables.

2.4.1

  • Added support for the new icons (green skull).

2.4

  • Updated addon for 7.2.0 (NPC database and Loot tables).
  • Minimized loot tables. The addon contained a lot of loots with very low drop rates, now it only shows the loots that are worth noticing.
  • Added a new button in the filter menus to toggle every filter at once.

2.3.2

  • Re-added all the displayIDS from the NPCs in the Underbelly, deleted by accident with 2.3 release (dev environment out of sync).

2.3.1

  • Fixed a bug that will show the "skull" button over the "filter" button if you disabled looking for a rare, and right after you find a new one.

2.3

  • Added some NPCs introduced in patch 7.1.0 that were missing (including the last world bosses like Torm the Brute).

  • UI translated to korean (thanks to free4one)

Minor changes:

  • Several german fixes (thanks to pas06)

2.1

Major changes:

  • Updated database for Legion rare NPCs.
    Important: Right now the loot tables might not be very accurate because they are extracted from beta and PTR datamining. I will keep updating them every 1-2 weeks until they are fully updated.

Minor changes:

  • Changed default sound for rare alerts to a less dramatic audio.

2.0.5

  • Modified the target and mark script in order "to try" to avoid the new client warning about using custom scripts.

2.0.4

Minor bugfixes:

  • Fixed an issue that could show the garrison alert after using the hearthstone (when disabled) if you are using a client with a lot of addons.
  • Fixed an issue where the autohidde timer wasn't being properly reseted after finding two or more NPCs in a short period of time, sharing the timer between NPC and producing the last alert to hide too fast.

Improvements:

  • All the addon timers have been migrated to the library C_Timer which should improve performance and memory consumption.

Other changes:

  • Now the garrison alert is disabled by default.

2.0.3
