SilverDragon - Rare Scanner

Changed in v2024.9

• New submodule: History
  • Shows a window with a log of rares you've seen, and when you saw them
  • Should make it easier to work out how long it has been since a rare spawned
• New scanning method: "dark magic"
  • Abuses detection of when Blizzard blocks attempts to call a protected function (TargetUnit) to work out when you're in targetting range of a unit with a given name
  • This inherently causes in-game errors, so it is disabled by default
  • Enable in the addon config under "Scanning > Dark Magic"
  • By default it's less-aggressive, scanning through rares in the zone without known vignettes at a rate of 1/second. However, you can turn that rate way up if you'd like.
  • You can also turn on an option to automatically hide the error messages it causes, but beware that this will probably cause taint issues that'll leave you needing to /reload eventually
• New option for popups so you can disable 3d models
  • Addresses a prepatch issues where some people are reporting crashes when certain models are displayed (through the Blizzard dialog popups as well, so this isn't a complete fix)
  • In most looks will just show a generic texture, but Minimal will aggressively shrink down
• Waypoints: fix that creating a TomTom waypoint wasn't respecting the replacement setting (so it was always overriding your existing waypoint)
• Show in the addon compartment
