⚠️ATTENTION! PROJECT HAS BEEN PAUSED AND MAY END:
Hello everyone,
I'm sorry to be the one to bring this news to you, but weiz was in a pretty rough car accident a couple weeks ago. He is in high spirits but will remain in the hospital for a few more weeks. He also has a lot of physical therapy ahead of him once he's out, so returning to this project may not be possible for some time. His primary hand had been badly injured and will require sometime for time to be able to use the computer as he once did.
We're hoping everything works out and he wanted to thank you all for enjoying his project over the last few years. He may or may not come back to it at some point as his hands may take some time to get back to working like they did before, but if he does he will let you know!
I wanted to let others know who knew him in-game, but due to the 2-step authorization hassles, this was the easier to work with as his phone was destroyed in the crash. Please let others know in-game or anywhere else if they knew him! I know he would appreciate it very much!

OVERVIEW (Last updated for v1.9.9 - FEB 2022)
weizPVP is an addon dedicated to one thing: World PVP.
The core features include:
- Expansive player detection
- Health and death updates
- Dead player display icons and sorting
- Stealth Alerts
- Role detection
- Level estimation
- Crosshairs
- Kill On Sight list
- Self-maintaining, Self-optimizing player database
Many other features are included such as intelligent player sorting, phase detection, on-flight-path detection, player connection status and distance estimation. Another goal of weizPVP is to be efficient as possible by constantly making improvements to reduce memory and CPU usage (world pvp can be laggy enough). Whether you're solo doing a world quest or raiding an enemy city, weizPVP is there to keep you current on the enemy situation so you can make informed decisions, using accurate data, displayed on a easy to use interface.

Hi Weiz
Just wanted to say this is an awesome addon thanks for creating it and I hope you are able to continue it at some point.
Don't think I have ever met you in game but best of luck and a speedy recovery.

Hey, Weiz,
I love the addon man, I was extremely excited to learn it was available for TBC. It has been working great for months, however, since WoTLK Pre-Patch it is extremely buggy, doesn't color code classes and no longer makes a sound notification upon detection. I am also getting an error saying it is a retail addon, since it does not appear to be available for WoTLK Classic. Anyway you can look into this???
Thanks again for the amazing addon!!
Weiz and Family,
Thinking of you all during this time. I have encouraged others to donate to the addon however I could, to hopefully help with any medical bills and things of that nature. I was originally going to start a GoFundMe, but I learned that some people troll and abuse those sorts of things so I opted to just use the donate area on this page.
I hope you get well soon Weiz. Thank you so much for everything you've done for our community and for being a great friend.
Reach out if I can do anything to help.

Hello,
This is Weiz's brother from real life.
He said that the project is open-source and welcomes other developers to continue developing it under other names, as they see fit. He would appreciate a mention somewhere if someone ends up continuing it; but it is not required.
He will post any updates here and other places if he resumes the project; But that may be some time - if at all.
He still has a lot of operations and physical therapy to do, but otherwise he's conscious now and in relatively good spirits considering.
He wanted me to let people know that he has tried to get me to contact others on battle net and discord, but the 2-step authorization on his phone which was destroyed has made things a bit too complicated for me, so I'm sorry about that (I'm not very technical).

Hi,
Keep getting this bug:
183x weizPVP\Libs\WagoAnalytics/Shim.lua:3: attempt to index local 'WagoAnalyticsShim' (a nil value)
[string "@weizPVP\Libs\WagoAnalytics/Shim.lua"]:3: in main chunk
Locals:
WagoAnalyticsShim = nil
(*temporary) = <function> defined @weizPVP\Libs\WagoAnalytics/Shim.lua:3
(*temporary) = "WagoAnalytics"
(*temporary) = 2
(*temporary) = "attempt to index local 'WagoAnalyticsShim' (a nil value)"
not sure how to get rid of it
In reply to CHOCOLATE_x_STARFISH:
Responded to issue report; new version should work, but let me know if it doesnt!
Would it be possible to enable the crosshair for PvE or extract that feature to a separate addon? It's really nice and I think it has more potential than just PvP!
In reply to Linaori:
It certainly would be possible to have something like that for NPCs; anything that has a visible nameplate can work :)
However, that isn't something I have planned, especially as it wouldn't make as much sense in this PVP-focused addon, and I'm not planning on making another (at least at the moment).
If you're familiar with Weak Auras at all you could set up something on there to do it, or search for something close to what you want from wago.io to import into WA. I also haven't personally checked, but maybe another addon has this feature, or can? I don't use Plater for my nameplates, but I believe it's one of the more customizable nameplate addons and might be worth checking out (you can also find custom Plater configurations on wago.io).
I wish I had more time for things like this and other addons, but recently things have been pretty busy both IRL and in-game. I wish you the best in finding or making something, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a Weak Aura or Plater import that can achieve what you're looking for :)
Sadly there is no such weak aura or plater mod at the moment, I've already checked. Would it be okay for you if I extract certain parts to an addon? This would include mainly the crosshair blps and related code.
In reply to Linaori:
Sorry you didn't find anything... I'm very surprised by that; but I'm also thinking it may have another name, such as 'reticle' or 'target'. As well a lot of WA imports don't have screenshots, so it can be hard finding what you're looking for sometimes.
I did stumble across this, which is close... but not quite the same as the crosshairs in weizPVP. It looks like it has the potential/features to make it possible though: Tyraxe Plater (I'm unfamiliar with Plater so I'm simply going off the screenshot and am unsure about that specific import)
By all means, use anything you like, including the images that I made for it (they were mostly basic shapes anyway).
The addon, in order to comply with WoW's TOS, must be opensource to begin with, but thanks for asking. I'm not sure if that includes images or not, but use anything you want :)
You, as you may have already looked, can find all the crosshair files in the weizPVP\Addons\Crosshair directory. Also, I used .tga files instead of .blp for the addon, which should make it easier to edit in case you wish to.
Let me know if you have any questions related to my code, but if it's API-related, try searching on Wowpedia's API page
Best of luck!
adding to issues under feature request
Do you think you can implement priority levels for the kill on sight list? I would really like to assign a higher priority to some of my kill on site list.
In reply to Privo:
Sounds like something you could submit a feature request for from the 'Issues' section on the top of this page ;)
I love the idea though and was wanting to add in different tags that people could use on other players, such as 'friendly' if it's a friend's toon or just someone who poses no threat but want to know when they're around. I'm not sure what would be nice to have outside KOS or friendly, but the priority levels would be a terrific addition.
No need to submit the feature request now, I added it to my own task list, but thanks for the suggestion; I like it and feel it could be useful.
In the future if you think of any other feature that you would like to see added, just create an Issue from this project page and tag it with FEATURE REQUEST, and I'll see it quicker than these comment ;)
Thanks again and I apologize for the late reply!
BEST ADDON EVER HANDS DOWN WEIZ KEEP IT UP!!!! - Xel
In reply to Xelsnap:
Thanks! I wish development could have been more active recently, but come fall/winter, I'll have much more time to improve and add in a few more things ;)
In reply to Xelsnap:
well, which is it ?
hands down, .... or keep it up?
Would love to see an import/export profile feature in the future, or at least a save profile option.
