    Hi Nirriti,

    first of all, thanks for a great addon. I tried Vuhdo, but honestly was a bit overwhelmed by all those features. Your "Mistweaver" is much more accessible.

    I was wondering, if you could add visible buttons for ALT+left click (Detox) and ALT+rightclick (Tiger's Lust). Preferably below the SHIFT+left click and SHIFT+right click, this would make it easy again.

    Thanks and best regards, Shayanna

    German translation:

    Hallo Nirriti,

    zunächst einmal vielen Dank für das tolle Addon. Ich habe Vuhdo ausprobiert, war aber etwas erschlagen von all den Einstellungen. Dein Addon ist viel zugänglicher.

    Eine Bitte: Kannst Du genauso wie für ALT+LInkslick und ALT+Rechtsclick ebenfalls die kleinen Button auf der linken Seite einbauen? Am besten unter SHIFT+Linksclick und SHIFT+Rechtsclick, das würde es sehr einfach machen.

    Danke und Gruß, Shayanna

    Thank you for a great addon. its been a real help using it vs configuring vuhdo as i level.

    I just have one small issue.

    My mouse doesn't have a middle click. It makes it impossible to use Life Cocoon via the addon unless i can figure out how to change it from middle button to mouse button 4 or 5.

    Is there a line i can edit in the LUA that would change this?

    Thank you

    My feedback for the 5.5 version:

    I like the ideea of shoothing mist bar but is way harder to click the renewwing mist frames. Can you give us the option to alter the renewing mist frames also ? they got to small. I'm using the 5.4 version until we get the option to modify all the frames height. (including the renew frames) This addon looks very promising. +1 to the developer.

    Version 1.4 calls the function "abs_info" many times, but this function is not actually defined anywhere. It's probably a good idea to log in with no other addons enabled before posting a release, to make sure you aren't accidentally using another addon's functions. :p

    Hi Phanx,

    Thank you for your comments. You can send translations via PM or comment. Every help would be nice.

    1. Sorten by name is a very good idea, i'll add this feature for the next beta release
    2. I'll also change the name in the toc of all my addons.
    3. The CleanUI dependency is already fixed
    4. the spell name constants are placeholders, i think i need not initialize them... it's done later
    5. disabling the addon is a good idea
  • Avatar of Phanx Phanx Jul 26, 2012 at 07:23 UTC - 0 likes

    A couple more suggestions:

    (1) Instead of defining spell name constants like this:

    local SURGING_MIST = "Surging Mist"
    

    ...use GetSpellInfo with the spell's ID to get the appropriate localized name for the user's locale:

    local SURGING_MIST = GetSpellInfo(116694)
    

    (2) Check the current character's class before doing anything else, to avoid loading the addon for non-monk characters. A simple way to do this (and disable the addon for the current character so it won't try to load on subsequent logins) is to put this at the top each Lua file:

    if select(2, UnitClass("player")) ~= "MONK" then return DisableAddOn("MistWeaver") end
    

    Technically, the DisableAddOn call only needs to be in one of the Lua files, but it doesn't hurt anything to include it in all of them.

    (1) It seems you've forgotten to remove code for your custom UI before releasing v1.3, as the following error occurs on login:

    1x MistWeaver\MistWeaver-1.3.lua:188: hooksecurefunc(): CleanUI_HookChangeStatusBar is not a function
    <in C code>
    MistWeaver\MistWeaver-1.3.lua:188: in function "MistWeaver_HookCleanUI"
    MistWeaver\MistWeaver-1.3.lua:123: in function "MistWeaver_OnEvent"
    <string>:"*:OnEvent":1: in function <string>:"*:OnEvent":1
    

    After removing all of the references to CleanUI, the addon seems to function properly. You might consider supporting LibSharedMedia instead of your (or someone else's) custom UI; many more people are likely to be using LSM than CleanUI!

    (2) In addition to sorting by ID and by group, you should probably add sorting by name.

    (3) I can't edit the English translations since I'm not a project author, but would you mind if I submitted some corrections with proper capitalization for this (and Notes)? The all-lowercase text is really distracting!

    (4) Please don't put color tags (or your name) at the beginning of your TOC title. It's very annoying to have to scroll to the very bottom of the list to find an addon that should logically appear next to all the other addons beginning with "M". Notes suffers from the same issue, and I've been editing its TOC after every update to change the Title field to just "Notes", but it would be nice not to have to do this. After installing MistWeaver, I actually restarted the beta client, then deleted and reinstalled the addon and restarted the beta client a second time, before realizing that ot was indeed installed correctly -- it just wasn't where I expected to find it in the addon list. :(
