What's new

12.1.5.1

  • Updated database.
    • Added more containers in Kindo'jan's Labyrinth (renown 2, renown 4 and secret room).
    • Updated loot tables.
  • Now repeatable containers show up with a light green colour to tell them apart from the rest.
  • New feature (EXPERIMENTAL): Respawn telemetry. By default the addon now includes a new option that gathers information related to the respawn time of rare NPCs.
    • It is shared with your guild and groups through hidden addon messages (no chat spam). The messages only contain NPC IDs, zone identifiers and times, no personal information, and the addon doesn't save the names of the players that send it to you.
    • When you log in or join a group, the addon also asks the other RareScanner users in it for recent data.
    • You can see what has been collected with the command /rs telemetry.
    • The calculated respawn timers are displayed in the tooltips of the world map. You can hide them under RareScanner settings -> Map settings -> Tooltips -> Show respawn timers.
    • If you don't want to take part, you can disable it under RareScanner settings -> General -> Respawn telemetry. If you notice any issue related to this, please report it on CurseForge.
  • Added separators to the commands printed with /rs to make them easier to read.
  • Updated Russian localizations (thanks to Hollicsh).

12.1.5

  • Added support to 12.1.5.
  • Added new treasures in The Labyrinth of Kindo'jan.
  • Added a new tracking system: Class/race skills In WoW Forever, it's possible to track the blips shown on the minimap, so RareScanner now uses them to track rare/custom NPCs (any type of NPC hunters can track, humanoids for druids, and treasures for dwarves).
    • NOTE: This feature is disabled in retail as the functions needed to work don't exist, however, I have added it just in case Blizzard ports them to this client.
  • Added a new tracking system: Soft target. Now the addon can track NPCs/containers/treasures around you. It's more limited than nameplates, but until now, there was no other way to track containers around you in classic versions.
    • NOTE: This tracker enables an in-game option that adds an icon above interactive NPCs and objects. If you don't want to see them, disable this tracker under RareScanner -> General tab.
  • Added a load bar to show that the addon is calculating the best route.
  • Added small code improvements to the explorer.
  • Updated third party libraries:
    • HereBeDragons
    • WowAce
  • Added a new tool that translators will love. Until now, the addon included static names for everything: achievements, NPCs, items, spells, etc. Now it uses dynamic codes that automatically translate and colorize text in tooltips, significantly reducing translation work.
  • Fixed: World map faction filter integration.
    • Note: Highlighted entities (rare NPCs, containers) for selected factions now correctly display on the map again after the changes made in Midnight.
  • Updated russian localizations (thanks to Hollicsh).
  • Updated simplified chinese localizations (thanks to LvWind).
