GearScore & RealID

2010-07-08T19:47:00.001-07:00

I have created a video to show how easy it is to fake the the previous video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO5zmuFTLtA

You can duplicate the results in the video as follows;

1. Create a Directory called "BigHoax" inside your AddOns folder.

2. Create 2 text files "BigHoax.lua" and "BigHoax.toc"

3. Paste the following into "BigHoax.toc".

## Title: BigHoax
## Version: 1.1.0
## Note: Helps create a fake video!
## Author: Mirrikat45
## Interface: 30200
## OptionalDeps: GearScore

BigHoax.lua

4. Paste the following into "BigHoax.lua".

SetNames = {}

function SomeFunctionName(arg1, arg2)
local FakeNames = { "Barack Obama", "Ronald Reagen", "Bill Clinton", "George Bush", "Ricard Nixon", "Andrew Jackson", "James Madison", "James Monroe", "John Tyler", "James Polk", "Franklin Pierce", "Gerald Ford", "John Kennedy" };
local realid = "";
if ( SetNames[UnitName("mouseover")] ) then
realid = SetNames[UnitName("mouseover")];
else
realid = FakeNames[random(1,13)];
SetNames[UnitName("mouseover")] = realid;
end
GameTooltip:AddLine("|cff00ffffRealID: |r"..realid, 1,1,1);
GameTooltip:AddLine("Hold SHIFT to view Alts");
end

GameTooltip:HookScript("OnTooltipSetUnit", SomeFunctionName);

5. Your done! Restart the game!

Note: You can edit the list of fake names to whatever you want!

GearScores and RealID

2010-07-08T18:21:00.000-07:00

There have been faked screenshots showing that a supposed "3.2 beta" version of GearScore reveals other player's RealIDs on tooltip. Not only is there no 3.2 beta, but this functionality does not exist in any version of GearScore. I will also never include functionality like this in GearScore.

The author of these images has admitted they are fake: http://www.wow.com/2010/07/08/that-scary...fake-guys/

In addition I have disabled photo uploads on the forums due to excessive posting of offensive imagery.

There is also a video of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PQtNRKZq04

The effect in the video can be achieved with a very very simple addon that would look like:

function SomeFunctionName(arg1, arg2)
local realid = "Some Fake Name";
GameTooltip:AddLine("|cff00ffffRealID: |r"..realid, 1,1,1);
end
GameTooltip:HookScript("OnTooltipSetUnit", SomeFunctionName);

The 2nd line sets a variable as to what fake name you want to use, simply create an array of fake names and you can choose them at random or make them show for specific char names to make the effect look more convincing.

GearScore 3.1.7 Release

2010-06-27T17:32:00.000-07:00

I've just uploaded GearScore 3.1.17. Get it Here.

Most of the changes are to deal with the new throttle on inspects. Currently if you inspect to often then the server will not return additional information. This means that when you mouseover a player you may see a GS that is several days old. To combat this you will now have to target a player for an updated GS. You will still see their GS on mouseover if you have them in your database. You will also see a message on how old that GS is.

This isn't as bad of a change as it sounds, in reality most players just say "Whats your GearScore?" instead of looking anyways.

Because of this change communications in the addon will drastically drop, I plan to open up a few restrictions in the future so that player's databases do not become out of date all the time.

Additional changes are new options and bug fixes.

GearScoreLite

2010-06-05T10:03:00.001-07:00

Updated GearScore Lite

Change Log 3x04

Fixed an error with GS less over 6000.

GS will now be reduced on un-enchanted items that are enchantable.

Remember that gems are always shown as empty by initial API calls so I cant determine if gems are missing or not.

GearScore Update!

2010-06-04T08:50:00.001-07:00

GearScore 3.1.16 is released! Read the below post for more information about the changes.

GearScore lite will have an update later today, just need to test it.

Update Soon

2010-05-25T14:19:00.001-07:00

After a lot of internal struggle I have decided to change the way the advanced scoring works.

Currently the /gs option will show 4 or 5 scores, 1 for each role a class can perform and one for the standard GearScore. The scores for those are calculated with the original formula, and scale correctly with gems and enchants. As you know however, that method isn't available for mouse-over calculations which have become the standard scale used by everyone. I originally went with this method because it allowed players to see their score increase with gems and enchants. However, I currently believe that these numbers are confusing and people ignore them.

So I have decided to make the following changes to these numbers. The changes will occur in a series of phases to see how it goes.

The score will still be calculated in the same way. Individual states will be looked at and irrelevant ones discarded to arrive with stat specific score.
Example: a Warrior may have a 5000 GS, but their protection score is 6200.
The warrior is also only rated at 90% Protection from lack of gems.
This makes the 6200 score confusing and nearly irrelevant, because it is still higher then 5000 even though the warrior is missing many gems.
The new method will instead apply the 90% to the 5000 GS to give them a protection GearScore of 4500.
4500 is much more informative because it is relative to the standard scoring system.
If you are looking for a 5000 GS Tank, you would clearly be able to see that this tank doesn't meet that level. (He could however be skilled enough to make up for it, don't be a jerk everyone!)
This means that the 5000 number you see is in assumption that the warrior is fully gemmed/enchanted and wearing relevant stats. I feel that people already make this assumption so this shouldn't be a problem.
I will also be updating the spec scores you see on individual item tooltips to reflect these changes, although this change may occur in a another phase.
This change makes it easier to show spec scores on non-targeted players in the the /gs window. I will be making it so that it will be closely accurate as when you target them.
The problem comes from reading the gemming information on non-targeted players. In most cases this isn't an issue, rarely does a mage wear everything correctly and then put in a strength gem in to ruin it. However, often times players will use gems to meet appropriate caps such as defense, hit, and expertise.
Currently the system requires targeting to inspect these gems so that it can apply modifiers if a player is under a specific cap. When they are not in range then they are often under cap and the addon scores them much lower.
The new method will instead look at the gem slots and calculate the maximum stats those slots could apply towards a specific cap. If they fall short of the cap still they will lose score, if they meet it they will not be punishes.
This all works in with the assumption that the 5000 is fully gemmed/enchanted. This means a mage under hit cap will still show at 5000 untargeted. However once you target them you will see their score drop to 4900ish or w/e. I feel that this is a good tradeoff to actually see what their score is without the hit relative to the standard GS scale.

In addition to these changes, I have decided that my donation database has grown large enough that it would be detrimental to continue to add sponsor names to the addon. Everyone who has donated to date will still receive their status in the next update (in a day or so), however I will no longer be adding names after this period.

Lastly, I have come under the impression that some at Blizzard may feel the donation status is a way of asking for donations which is in violation of their addon agreement and could result in the addon being banned for that reason. Also some players receive the sponsor notice in game and are harassed by players who hate GearScore but use it to determine their own score. All this has made me to decided to end the sponsorship notice with the release of Wotlk, I'm not 100% decided on this so feel free to communicate your thoughts on this to me. I apologize to anyone who really feels upset about this.

http://gearscoreaddon.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=140&pid=670#pid670

This isn't the update I wanted, I found a nasty bug I need to recode the new section. I'm kind of upset but I know what I'm doing so I'll be able to turn it out quickly.

2010-03-23T11:36:00.000-07:00

Sorry everyone, didn't realize there was a patch today. I'll have to make sure that I update a few things in the TOC. And I don't usually like releasing GearScore on patch days because everyone is like "Its broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when really its just that patches reset your item cache so it takes about a day of playing before GearScore will work again.

Update This Tuesday.

2010-03-21T12:26:00.000-07:00

Okay, I'll have an update on Tuesday everyone :-D Thanks again for all your support.

Also, I just wanted to tell you something. My wife has joined this website "Chella's Rewards -n- Beyond". Its one of those sites where you watch advertisements and take surveys and you get paid. The site is aimed more towards woman, but my wife has actually made a good amount of money on it. Check it out if your looking for a way to earn a few extra bucks.

SO everyone who has donated your names will appear on the sponsor list with this update! So sorry to keep you waiting so long, but thanks again for all your support, it really does help and I really appreciate it.

I'm back!

2010-02-07T16:05:00.001-08:00

Sorry, I've been busy with a small bump in work. But I'm back! I've also created an online GearScore checker! I plan to drastically increase the functionality of this in the future, however right now its only in "Proof of Concept" stage, and at most maybe 1% done lol. So do not complain to me about how much it is missing...

Performance / GearScore

2010-01-05T23:41:00.000-08:00

At the request of my users I have created a Performance / GearScore mode in Recount. This is a really neat feature because you can see people who are are really not dpsing where they should when they have high gear. Or see when a low GearScore person is really skilled and killin' out the numbers

The current way I'm doing this is taking DPS and dividing by GearScore but multiplying by 100 so you don't end up with numbers like "0.12" or w/e. If you think this should be otherwise let me know.

I'll release it with 3.1.08 version probably tonight or sometime tomorrow. Its a small change in one section so I should be able to release it in the public version if it goes well.

I'm not sure I'll make one for healing players because Healing performance has a alot to do on group makeup and the class of the healer. Again, let me know what you think.

GearScore 3.1 Beta

1st, I've scaled back ambitions for this version so I can get it out to you guys more quickly. Features you've seen in videos or heard about on my blog will be implemented soon.

2nd, Expect lots of bugs and issues. I'm aware of alot of them, but please post them here anyways.

Changes from 3.1.01 (to 3.1.02)

Expanded the "test" feature intorduced in the lsat version.
I FORGOT TO UPDATE Donator's list, I promise to add you guys in right away!

Changes from 3.1.00 (to 3.1.01)

Fixed a few bugs
Achievement info will clear when you switch targets.
Added a new 'test' feature. Now when you mouse over an item you will see score calculations for each of your spec based on the ORIGINAL formula. This formula adds enchants and gems back into the calculation. Please note that the current formula compensates for the lack of enchants and gems so a lot of items wont actually gain any GearScore from this method. However special enchants and epic gems will help out.; and having no enchants/gems will naturally lower the GearScore on the item. This method will eventually be calculated into the bar/graph info on the "Equipment" page. Currently it IS NOT ACCURATE for Weapons, Offhands, Shields, Trinkets, and Relics. Please let me know what you think of this. Make sure that the score is not based on weights. So an item with +100 Crit Rating + 100 Agility will have the same GearScore for a rogue as an item with +100 Strength and + 100 Agility. Luckily however, their aren't really any crazy items like this in end game content.
This feature would be the primary calculation method if I choose to turn the addon into an "Advanced Inspection Tool"

Changes from 3.0.x

Updated GUI
Gems! - You can now view gems when you target a player within' inspection range. Gem information is not immediately available, and may take a few seconds to load.
Experience Guide - Now allows you to view raiding experience of a player within inspection range.
Spec Guide / Scores - Lets you see a rating for a particular spec. Defense Info currently missing, and Hit Raiting not automatically calculated. (will be added later)
Stat List - Lists all of a player's statistics in a window on the equipment screen.
Updated Instance Difficulty Charts - Instances compressed into teir content. "Teir 9.2" simply refers to the 2nd level of gear within the Teir 9 family. (Instead of saying something like Teir 9, and Teir 9.333, and Teir 9.666, or w/e)
Target Switch - When switching targets with the GearScore window open the new target's info will automatically be updated in the GearScore window.
Other Stuff

While downloading GearScore please consider donating.

I run a small self-owned computer repair business that has been hit pretty hard by the current economy. I mostly program GearScore in my free time. Your donations help me keep working on GearScore and allow me to avoid closing my business. Donations ARE NOT REQUIRED in anyway. Donating gives you a little perk as well! For any donation of $5 or more your name will appear as "Official Supporter of GearScore" to anyone who mouses over you in the game (As long as they have the mod). So make sure you leave me with the name and server of your main when you donate.

Communications Reduction

2009-10-09T17:27:00.000-07:00

I never anticipated the addon would be as popular as it is now. And under the previous settings GearScore communications would actually scale with the number of people who use the addon on a single realm. As the addon became more popular the communications began to get out of control. The 3.0.12 version addresses this issue in these ways:

Change #1: Because of the popularity communications will no longer be linked between guilds and parties and will limit the communications method to guild only. (The only time it will communicate with your raid is when requesting GearScore record of a player not in your database. And if this is still High then I will nix it in the butt too.) This change will drastically reduce the amount of communication in the addon.

Example:

3.0.10 Method: Bob is in a guild where nobody uses GearScore, Bob joins a party with Kathy who is in a guild "Tomorrow". "Tomorrow" has 20 people who have GearScore sitting in Dalaran mousing over people 1 person per second each. Bob all of a sudden is being hit with 20 AddonMessages / second now. (Because Kathy receives the records and re-transmits then to her party. If BoB also had GearScore he would then re-transmit them to his guild as well, allowing communications to bounce between guilds with linked parties.)

3.0.12 Method: Bob is in a guild where nobody uses GearScore, Bob joins a party with Kathy who is in a guild "Tomorrow". "Tomorrow" has 20 people who have GearScore sitting in Dalaran mousing over people 1 person per second each. Bob recieves 0 (Zero) AddonMessages / second. (Messages are no longer linked between guilds / parties )

Change #2: Previously whenever you moused over a player it would take a snap-shot and compare it to information you previously had on that player. If the information was the same it would not re-transmit it. However, the information would change every 1min when the timestamp was updated. (Timestamps look like: YYYYMMDDHHMM or 200910081128, so that the newest time is always a larger number). This means you can only spam a single player once every 1 min. I've now changed this to limit updating to only once per day. (Unless that payer changes their gear.)

Example:

3.0.10 Method: Kathy now joins a guild, with 500 people who all have GearScore. Jack who is also in the guild is in Dalaran and runs through mousing over everyone. Everyone in receives the updated scores. 1min later Jane in goes to Dalaran and re-spams everyone with the same scores again, and so it goes on all day long.

3.0.12 Method: Kathy now joins a guild, with 500 people who all have GearScore. Jack who is also in the guild is in Dalaran and runs through mousing over everyone. Everyone in receives the updated scores. For the rest of the day nobody else in will resend the scores of the player's Kathy captured unless those players change their gear items. The exception to this is if a player logs into the game who wasn't online to receive Kathy's captures.

Change #3: Previously when you requested an update about a player everyone who knew anything about that player would dump the info into guild chat, causing a spike in GuildAddonChannel messages. This probably caused a bit of lag to anyone who had GearScore and had to process 20 messages at once all of a sudden. Now however I have changed it so that when a player manually requests an update on another player all those messages are sent to the requesting player via "WHISPER", this means only the requesting player would receive a small lag bump while proccessing the messages. (In addition the messages recieved will be about 1/2)

Example:

3.0.10 Method: Crystal manually requests an update on player Chris. She sends 1 request message to guild and 1 to party asking for this players information. Everyone in her party and everyone in her guild with information about Chris (As long as they aren't in combat) will then drop that information both into guild and party chats. From there the information would be repeated by other users of the addon across the server.

3.0.12 Method: Crystal manually requests an update on player Chirs. She sends 1 request message to guild and 1 to party asking for this players information. Everyone in her party and everyone in her guild with information about Chris (As long as they aren't in combat) will whisper Crystal their information. Affecting only Crystal with the spike in lag from requesting a player's information.

Change #4: Throttling the GuildAddonChannel entirely. Because anyone with GearScore already knows when a message is put into the GuildAddonChannel from GearScore already, I now run a counter that I just +1 to every time a player recieves a new GearScore message. ANd I reset the counter every 1 second. And basically if the number of messages recieved in the GuildAddonChannel exceeds a rate of 1 / second (60 / min) no other clients will introduce additional information into the GuildAddonChannel. This basically limits the maximum communication rate of the addon entirely and the communications will no longer scale with the number of users who use the addon.

Example:

3.0.10 Method: Billyjoe and Bobbysue are both in "Take The Money" and are in Dalaran mousing over everyone as fast as they can. Billyjoe and Bobbysue both drop information into the guild channel at a maximum rate of 5 messages / second. Between them the maximum message rate is 10 messages every 1 second. If BillyMack were to join them in Dalaran the maximum messages would be 15 messages every 1 second.

3.0.12 Method: Billyjoe and Bobbysue are both in "Take The Money" and are in Dalaran mousing over everyone as fast as they can. Billyjoe and Bobbysue combined can only drop information into the guild channel at a maximum rate of 1 message / second. Between them the maximum message rate is 1 message every 1 second. If BillyMack were to join them in Dalaran the maximum messages would still be 1 message every 1 second

About GearScore

2009-07-31T21:32:00.000-07:00

What is GearScore?

GearScore is an addon for World of Warcraft that allows you to quickly and easily judge a player's level of Gear. Simply mouse-over any player in the game and their GearScore will appear in their tooltip. No need to visit the armory!

Watch a Video of GearScore 3.0 in action!

How does GearScore Work?

Whenever you mouseover a player in the game GearScore will scan that player's gear and calculate a score. The scores are based on how blizzard assigns stats to an item and take in account ilevel, rarity, and equipment slot location. Scores scale smoothly as player's level up and obtain new items.

What are GearScore's features?

Instant Score Calculation - Scores are calculated instantly whenever you mouse over any player in the game as long as they are within inspect range.

Database - Scores are remembered so that the next time you see a player you will know their score, even if they are in a completely different zone. The database feature also allows you to manually look up a player anytime you want.

Communication - Whenever you scan a GearScore of a player you also share that score with everyone in your party or raid and everyone in your guild. This is very similar to how Gatherer works in sharing resource nodes.

Average iLevel - With this feature you can also see the average item level of a player. This is perfect for such things as Ulduar vehicle assignment and upcoming changes to drakes in 3.2

Master Loot Upgrade Mode - This mode is an excellent way to assist your raid in increasing their overall level of gear as quick as possible. Whenever you mouse over an item the tooltip will show how much of an upgrade in GearScore that item is for each person in your raid that can equip that item. Prefect for loot-council type raiding guilds and also excellent for leveling characters in helping to choose which item to pick from quest rewards.

Reporting - GearScore also allows you to post the GearScores of player's in your raid/party into chat. GearScore even has integration with Recount to allow you to see a graphical representation of your raid's GearScores.

How does GearScore compare to 'ratings' websites?

I started working on GearScore before I even knew of WoW-heroes or IMBA. I'm not sure how IMBA calculates its scores but WoW-Heroes scores are always about 1/2 of GearScore's scores. Many people ask me to simply use the same formula these websites do. There are a few problems with that. The first is I don't wish to steal a formula from a website and brand it as inline with their scores. Those sites make $$ from advertisers and if I steal their work I'm also stealing their money. Another problem with this is that the armory gives these websites more information then my mod, therefore they are able to take into account additional factors when calculating scores.

How can I contribute?

Feedback - I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my mod. So if you have any comments or suggestions please leave them HERE.

Download the beta version - and help me test upcoming and new features. Beta versions may contain bugs and I need help to find these.

Donate - Your donations help pay for this website and allow me to work less and keep programing on GearScore. As a bonus feature if you donate make sure to give me the name and server of your character and in the next update your character will have the special line "Official Supporter of GearScore" added to the tooltip of your player whenever somebody mouses over you.

Welcome to the 3.0 GearScore Open Beta. Version 3.0 brings out a lot of new features including newly designed GUI elements, such as on-screen player profiles that work just like an in-game Armory. Even the options now have a visible GUI. Other enhancements include a better database that allows you to sort, search, and report information in an intuitive way. Communications have been optimized to allow better system performance. Items are now colored based on their GearScore in addition to their rarity. Tier-tokens and heirloom items now have GearScores!

YOU MUST DISABLE 'GearScoreRecount' or you will experience bugs & errors.

Please remember that beta versions may contain bugs or other unexpected results. Please post any feedback here.

Version 3.0.06 - 8/27/09

NEWEST VERSION: Click Here to Download
Changes from 3.0.05
Fixed an error in MasterLoot mode that made all rings seem negative to everyone.
Enabled GearScores in LFG interface.
Enabled option to show GearScore's in Chat Frames, "/gset chat"
Using GearScores in chat frames will show messages like "[3. LookingForGroup][Arxkanite] (4597): Please Invite for Daily Heroic!"
Clicking on the "(4597)" will open up GearScore profile for "Arxkanite" in this example.
Updated Dungeon list to reflect blizzard's policy of no longer refering to the instances as normal/heroic but 10/25man instead.
Added Recommended GearScores for Trial of the Crusader 10/25man
Reduced system resources pertaining to textures and implimented more efficient code.
Added "Empty Slot" background pictures on the profile screen.
Removed "You arn't in a party." spam. This fix will actually remove the offending spam from ALL addons you have installed.
Added standard "X" closing buttons to all frames.
Added an "Invite" button to the Profiles Frame.
Pruning will now correctly remove old entries.
When looking up a profile that person's name will now automatically be inside the search box.
Moved the "Profiles" button on the database frame and added a "Friends" button which will allow you to see all your friends GearScores.
Spamming GearScore info to chat looks much better then before.
GSPAM IS BACK! "/gspam " or "/gspam " or "/gspam whisper " or finnaly "/gspam channel "
"" can be "party" to spam your party, "raid" to spam your raid or "group" to spam your raid if your in one or your party otherwise.
"" can be "raid", "party", "say", "channel", "whisper", "officer"
Example 1 "/gspam group" -- spams your raid or party depending which one your in.
Example 2 "/gspam raid guild" -- spams your raid scores into guild chat
Example 3 "/gspam party whisper Arxkanite" -- spams your party scores to player "Axkanite"
Example 4 "/gspam group channel 1" --spams your group scores into channel #1

Changes from 3.0.04
If somebody in your guild sends a GearScore Addon Message to Guild Channel, you will no longer repost it in party if they are also in your party.
If somebody in your party sends a GearScore Addon Message to Party Channel, you will no longer repost it in guild if they are also in your guild.
GearScore will now count all outgoing AddomMessages from all addons you have installed. If the number of outgoing messages excedes safety limits GearScore outgoing messages will fizzle. This should help prevent disconnection issues from GearScore when large bursts of data from other addons occur at the same time as GearScore's.
You can now scroll though pages on the Database window with your mouse scroll wheel.
Dates listed in the database window will now be listed as "x days old".
It will no longer be possible to enter letters into numeric only fields.
As you type info into the database's search box results will display automatically.
A bug in Masterloot mode where a "One-Handed" weapon compared to a player with a "Two-Handed' weapon would show a GearScore increase equal to the GearScore of the "One-Handed" weapon; has been fixed. (Untested because I couldn't get a Warrior to help me!)
GearScore will no longer scan players or send AddonMessages when a player loots an item or gold, or when they move an item in their inventory around, or when they post auctions. These were causing a masstive output of GearScore messages if several people were in a group and all had GearScore when one player loots a monster and gold is distrubted each player would then scan each other and themselves and output the info to guild/party.
GearScore will no longer output an AddonMessage for each item of gear changed while swapping gear with the in-game equipment manager. It will now wait until change is complete then send a single updated message to guild/party.
GearScore will now correctly detect if a warrior is TitanGripping when they use a 2h + shield.
Fixed an issue with Localizations not working correctly.
Added partial koKR Korean locale, Thanks Shoota!
GearScore's for hunters now work differntly.
GearScore's for bows/guns/crossbows for hunters will now be much higher then before (5.3224 times)
GearScore's for other weapons for hunters will now be worth much less then before (0.3164 times)
Hunter's will now see 2 scores on weapons, both a regular GearScore and the score value to a hunter. Unfortunately this score will appear on Wands because they are listed as the same item type as crossbows.
Masterloot mode updated to include the new Hunter Calculations.
For Example: If your hunter had [Furious Gladiator's Greatsword](GearScore: 805) and [Furious Gladiator's Longbow](GearScore: 127) your total GearScore from weapons would be 932.
Under this Update Your Greatsword would be worth 254 GearScore, and your Longbow would be worth 675 GearScore for a total GearScore of 929. Three GearScore is lost in rounding of functions.
However if you had a Shitty Weapon, and an amazing bow such as: [Ingvar's Monolithic Cleaver](GearScore: 337) and [Furious Gladiator's Longbow](GearScore: 127) your total GearScore from weapons would be 464.
Under this Update your Cleaver would be worth 106 GearScore and your Longbow would be worth 675 GearScore for a total GearScore of 781. Now that your ranged item is weighted much higher for hunters you would have gained 317 GearScore.
Howeer if you had a shitty bow, and an amazing weapon such as: [Furious Gladiator's Greatsword](GearScore: 805) and [Amanitar Skullbow](GearScore: 86) your total GearScore from weapons would be 891.
Under this update your Greatsword would be worth 254 GearScore, and your Skullbow would be worth 457 GearScore for a total GearScore of 711. You would lose 180 GearScore because your bow isnt as good of quality as your mainhand.
Because of the changes to hunters in this version players will see differn't GearScores for eachother for the first time in a very long time. Please ask your friends to upgrade.

Changes from 3.0.03
Fixed a small bug.
Enabled Localization on Race / Class
Enabled Partial French localization
Turned back on "/gset date" to view date & time info in tooltip.
Disabled score-scanning during combat.

GearScore will no longer attempt to open a profile of an NPC you have targeted.
Date/Time information will be color coded from Green --> Red the older it is.
You will no longer be able to scroll past the end of the information in a table into empty pages.

(So clicking on "GearScore" will sort information by GearScore in Decreasing order, clicking it again will sort it in increasing order). If you click on a player's guild or class, or race you will auto search the database for those things. (So if you click "Mage" or type Mage into the search field you will see all mages gearscore's you've collected).

If you click on any player's name you will see that player's profile, right click to whisper them.

And Updated View of Database GUI

2009-07-09T23:14:00.000-07:00

Wow, This sure has improved from this morning! Here are 4 new screenshots and a description of how this screen works.

Clicking on any of the words along the top will sort the database by that column. First Hight --> Low, then if clicked again from Low--> High.

The button "Group" will list everyone in your party/raid in the window.

The button "Guild" will list everyone in your guild's (Online or Offline) information in the window. (Pretty cool)

The Button "All" will list the entire database. To prevent serious lag it will only show you the top 50 of whatever column you are looking for. Such as if you click on "Race" it will only show you the top 50 of that column. (I may make this an option where you can choose how many to show)

the empty box and the button "Search" allow you to look though the database for any value. So if you type in "mage" you'll get every mage and everyone who has the word "mage" in their name.

Great for looking for a specific person or certain information.

the button "Report" opens the report screen you see on the right. From there you can report infomation in the window just as you would from Recount. Not that the report also lists what type of report your doing such as "Top 5 GearScore Reports for Guild, sorted by GearScore".

I've got more work to do on this but so far I'm pretty syked because I'm having so much fun using it!

Database View

2009-07-09T13:38:00.000-07:00

Okay, these screenshots are incredibly rough and only show the "Idea" of how this works. I am in no way done or even close to being done on this part.

This is the basic idea behind listing the database of GearScores. You will be able to sort all the functions by either Name, Class, Race, Level, GearScore, iLevel, or Date/Time. By default it will only list the players in your Party/Raid. (If groupless it will show your Guild). You can choose to view any of those modes or like the screenshots view the entire database. Viewing the database completly will usually cause about 1-2secnods of lag while the client rendors all that information, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I still need to add buttons and more information to this frame but here it is so you get idea

An quick Update

2009-07-07T21:57:00.000-07:00

Alright guys, I know I havn't said I've done much in a while but I have. Those screenshots you see of the Options GUI were just visable Layout.. I've had to actually program them so they work now.

A few changes:
I now have added Color to item's GearScores. This works by finding out if a player had 100% of that item type equiped to themselves. Coincidently ilvl 200 shows up as Blue, and 213 shows up as Purple. 200 = Superior Achievement, and 213 = Epic Achievement. I've decided this is where I will place the GearScore scale when the next expansion comes out as its a natural place to put it. This new change doesnt create any new dramatic changes but certainly is nice when mouseing though a player's gear items. Before you could see a Totem with GearScore of 97, but you dont know if thats good for a Totem or not, but now You'll see that same totem with the words "GearScore: 97" painted green so you know its a crappy item.

PVP

Alright, Techincally there is a way to measure exactly how much GearScore should be dropped by exactly how much Resilience is on it. However this method is very complicated and reduces frame rates slightly. So I've decided to do this following method. If an Item is a PVP Item (Has Resilience) it will only be worth 75% of its regular GearScore. So T8.5 Chest will be worth 385 GearScore, while a T8.5 PVP Chest is worth 289. This also works in reverse: A Regular T8.5 Chest is only worth 289 PVP GearScore.

Now this mod is almost used exclusivly for PVE, so I wont be listing PVP scores unless I start getting a request for it, Instead what I plan to do is Use the PVP Scores to check on rather or Not I should Update a Database Entry.

For Example: IF Bob has a PVE GearScore of 4000, and a PVP GearScore of 0 and this information is included in the database. The next time you see Bob However he has a PVE GearScore of 3000, and a PVP GearScore of 3800, the information WONT update in the database, this is beacuse It determines he is wearing more PVP then his last entry and doesn't need to update. This should help prevent the problem sites like WoW-Heroes and Imba have of finding the person caught in PVP Gear.

Ive also changed how some of the Formating of text is dealt with, and compressed several options into themselves and removed others. I dont feel the "Date" information is necissary on teh tooltip because now you can have it in the Records Screen, and this information was only usually usefull when mouseing over somebody in the Party Frame who wasn't next to you. "/gset Level", and "/gset Average" have been merged. Turning on ItemLevels will list both player ItemLevels and Item ItemLevels. AverageItem Levels for players will now appear on teh same line of text as GearScore in tooltips.

Also Remember that Teir-Tokens now show GearScores, and I'm working on a way to calculate the GearScore of Heirloom items as well as Legendary Items.

Disconnect issures wern't 100% of this addons fault, The Disconnect occurs when too many addons send to many messages at once. Several were my addons messages, but when combined with Recount and Healbot for example you may get disconnected. To remedy this I will be monitoring how frequently other addons send messages. If they are particuarly busy (Such as in combat) my mod will hold information in a que and send it later when traffic is slower.

Also the bug of certain addons causing the mousing over of some items to error should be fixed with a new check I have.

NPCs that share names with players will also no longer show GearScores.

The TimeStamp information in Record mode will be colored to help you find out if the entry is old or not. Same Day Entries will be "Blue", Within 7 Days will be "Green", within 3 weeks will be "Yellow" and anything after that will be "Red" (Please let me know if you think that scale should be differn't)

Horrible Weekend!

2009-07-07T07:43:00.001-07:00

Not that anyone cares... but my car broke down and got me stranded in Canada over the weekened. Fun times!

Alright, so here is the bad news: Apparently there is now way to fix the "Shadow" equipment problem I'm having right now. This is because nobody on the face of the earth knows how to Set the correct skin texture to a Model. I'll leave it how it is for now, but I'll end up having to either remove it or Make it yoru charachter with their gear on... Hmm... This is lame. (To see this problem look at the screenshots I posted and see their Black Shoulders/Weapons)

Options GUI

2009-07-02T18:50:00.001-07:00

Here is a preview (ANd unfinished) Options Menu that will be avaiable in the next version.

"Show Item Levels" - This will show ilvl for Items when moused over. and will also show average item levels when mousing over players.

Please note that Item Level display has changed so that if you have this on you will see:

GearScore: 1234 (Avg ilvl 213)

"Show Detailed Item List" - This shows the same as "/gset detail" in that it lists all players items in the tooltip.

"Save Database" - If you turn this off information you gather while logged on will be lost after you log off.

"Auto Prune Database" Automatically removes outdated/corrupted entries from the database each time you log in. (Helps prevent errors)

"Minimum Level" - this is the minimum level required for an entry to be saved into the database. If set at "80" only level 80 players will be saved.

"Show Masterloot Info" this turns on Master Loot Mode.

"Gear Restriction Level" - Heavy, Light, or None. "None" means that it will show improvements for any class so long as it can wear that item. (Warriors will show up under Cloth, Leather, and Mail). "Heavy" resticts classes to wear only items their class was intended to wear. Such as a Warrior will only see "Plate" gear. "Light" is similar to "Heavy" except that it allows Shaman, Paladins, and Druids to see Cloth, Leather, and Mail items. (Many Healers don't mind wearing a cloth item)

THe numbers on the left are the defualt recommended GearScores for entry into an Instance. You can change them there.

2009-07-01T19:40:00.000-07:00

Here is an updated View of the upcomming GUI.

I'll explain more on how it works. If you "/gs " this window will appear with information. All the gear that player had when you moused over them originally will be in the window. If you do "/gs" it will simply open the window with your information.

The Name, and Class/Level/Race of the player will be color coded to match that player's Class.

Below the player model you will see GearScore, colored the same as if you moused over somebody. You will also see the Average Item Level, and the location the player was at when they were scanned. Below that you will see the Date or Time the player's information was captured and the player who captured that information. As you can see "Kymax" captured the record, even though I'm on Arxkanite.

Now, On the left you will see a list of Instances and Numbers. The Numbers are the "recommended' minimum GearScores a player should have to enter that instance. The color of the number is based on what color your "GearScore" would be if you had that value as your GearScore. The Green/Yellow/Red represents how that player will perform in that instance. The color fades from Red to Orange, to Yellow, to Green based on the player's GearScore and the recommended values for those instances. Green means easy instances, where the player may find little gear useful to them. Yellow is "Medium" instances, these require the player to still pay attention and keep focused on boss fights and most gear items would be upgrades for this player. Orange means the player is undergeared but could go as long as the rest of the group has decent gear. Red Means this player may not perform well in that instance. Take them with caution.

These numbers are customizable. These are simply the default values. You will be able to change them to reflect your level of scrutny. Once they are changed colors will go to reflect that. So for if a player has 3500 GearScore they will usually appear "RED" on Ulduar. But if you change Ulduar's recommended GearScore to "3000" then that player will appear green in that instance.

You will be able to search for any player by typing their name in that box.

GUI

2009-06-30T23:28:00.001-07:00

Here is a preview of the upcomming GUI for GearScore. In addition to this, there will be a database and options GUI.

The Colors and Recommended GearScores you see are based on a combination between Imba and WoW-Heroes. Also while looking at WoW Heroes their Base Score is about 2x GearScore.

I plan to add Enchant info to this window and more.

Please let me know what you think.

2009-06-29T01:02:00.000-07:00

Holy crap!

Well under the new upcomming Database features I had to completely rewrite the Masterlooting function. Previously I could take the previous framework of a function and simply Re-write the code within that framework. However this was a complete re-write. Spent 6 hours! But its worth it. Works much faster, and pulls information from the new database without creating garbage like the older version. Less errors should occur.

Previously the was a problem with Missing Items creating invald Keys within a temporary Table created for storing scanned player's Gear. Now that this table is actually internal to Each players GearScore table no errors should occur.

~Mirrikat45

2009-06-28T16:21:00.000-07:00

I had to find a way to compress ItemLinks into smaller format so I can fit 17 of them into one line of Communication. ItemLinks contain information other then just the name of the Item. I have extracted this information with the following formula.

function GearScore_GetItemCode(ItemLink)

if not ( ItemLink ) then return nil; end

local found, _, ItemString = string.find(ItemLink, "^|c%x+|H(.+)|h%[.*%]"); local Table ={}

for v in string.gmatch(ItemString, "[^:]+") do tinsert(Table, v); end

return Table[2]..":"..Table[3]

end

This returns something like this "23494:234". The number after the ":" is the enchantment ID. This means that I'll be able to easily extract Enchantment infomation from a players Gear. (So expect Enchantments to be recalculated in the next version in some form.

This also means that when somebody in your guild mouses over a player you will know that player's entire gearset, items, and enchants!

The limits on this is it becomes much more complicated and outside the realm of communications if I extract the Gem Information.

2009-06-26T17:51:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, I'm still here.

I've worked on compressing alot more functions and cleaning up some outdated code in preperation for changes comming in the next version. I have to say so far its looking nice and running a bit smoother.

The New Database will include the following information for each player.

"Arxkanite" = {

"GearScore" = 4300,

"Name" = "Arxkanite",

"Level" = 80,

"Average" = 220

"Faction" = "H",

"Race" = "TA",

"Class" = "SH",

"Spec" = 3,

"Location" = "DAL", --(Dalaran)

"Scanned By" = "Arxkanite",

"Date" = "200907251200",

This is a sample entry. Factions, Races, classes, location, and spec are all compressed to reduce memory usage and allow for easier transmission for communications mode. The "3" is the spec. it refers to the 3rd Talents tab for that class, or "Restoration". Somebody suggested I put in Coordinates for the location you see the player. But I felt this was unnessesary because the coordinates would just be arbitrary information and I couldn't fit that info in. (Please feel free to argue this with me) an

My goal is to be able to send an entire GearScore profile in one line of Communication which is 254 Chars. A sample line is:

"GSC Arxkanite 80 220 H TA SH 3 BEM Arxkanite 200912281042 12344:3242 56789:4232 16875:7890 38496:1057 18975:7897 79854:4789 43578:1205 44658:1489 41879:9045 31245:4687 68791:6044 13578:1206 78945:4879 16380:4054 01896:0541 78904:0014 46570:7777"

This new Database size will take a maximum of 3mb of system memory to use. But that includes if you keep non-level 80 players. I expect an actual usage rate of about 2mb. The good news is the database will automatically prune, and keep players less then level 80 out, while keeping information to only 1 server at a time.

Teir Tokens in MasterLooting

2009-06-26T11:10:00.000-07:00

I have succesfully added Token Scores to the tooltip, and Tokens will now show Best Improvement for information when Master Looting mode is on. (Next Update that is)

Looking Forward

2009-06-25T23:58:00.000-07:00

Well I'm goign to start laying the foundation for the next version here. My primary focus is updating the database and creating a GUI for this mod.

As part of it I'm rewriting a lot of inefficient Coding. The first part I rewrote was information about Classes. Previously while checking for Color or rather or not a class can wear a certain item I would have to first do a check for each class, and then do a check for each possible item type to see if i get a positive. However, now that I have a table with information stored in it I can simply do:

If ( GS_ClassInfo[GS_Class].Equip[SubType] ) then ; end

All in one line, and no computing... just a variable check. Should help improve performance.

I also dont have to Set Colors each and every time anymore I can just add the colors in on the fly:

Tooltip:AddLine("Name", GS_ClassInfo[GS_Class].Red, GS_ClassInfo[GS_Class].Green, GS_ClassInfo[GS_Class].Blue)

Also much quicker.

As you can see I've started using Longer Variable Names again. I plan to do a lot of cleanup... somewhere I lost my way and began using sub-par named variables.

~Mirrikat45

2009-06-21T12:53:00.000-07:00

Alright! I finished coding the Master Looting Section so Here it is!

--UPDATE-- Fixed a small issue for calculating GearScores and Average Ilvls. Thanks Sorian!

Changes from 2.2.02

This Version Introduces some Major Changes:

GearScore will now automatically look for GearScores of players in your raid/party who you dont have as long as they are within range.
Details Mode - Use "/gset detail" to turn this on. This mode will add a list of gear items and GearScores for those items into the tooltip. if you have "/gset level" turned on then it will also include itemlevel of those gear items. Pretty cool way to check out a person's gear.
you can now use "/gs" to scan for player names again.
Master Loot Mode - use "/gset ml" to turn this on. Any player may see this mode, even those not currently the Master Looter. This mode is awsome! It lets you mouseover any item and see which players in your raid/party get the most upgrade from it.

For each item you mouseover it will only list player's in your party/raid who can actually equip that item. (For Example: If the item is Plate it will only list Warriors, DKs, and Pallies).
Each player will be color coded based on their Class.
If you mouseover an item and you didn't have data from a member of your party/raid it would attempt to automatically obtain this information.
If that player is outside of inspection range then you will see "Player's Name No Data" In the tooltip.
The formula works by determining the % increase in GearScore a player would get if they equipped that item. For Example: If a player has 1000 GearScore and is going to get an increase of 100 GS from an item then they would get +10%. Another Player with 2000 GearScore and 100 increase from the item would get +5%. So the item would be more valuable to the first player.
Lastly if a ring / trinket / one-handed weapon are moused over it will calculated and compare scores based on which item if replaced would net more GearScore for a player.
Please understand this mode doesn't actually calculate stats on an item. Thats up to the player who wants the item to determine if the stats are good for them. But this mode is excellent for loot council who want to improve the whole guild's gear as much as possible.

Please leave me as much feedback as possible on that last part, thats what I'm most curioius about.

2.2.03 Dev

2009-06-20T17:16:00.000-07:00

Well I'm done working on the mod for tonight, and I'll get back to it tomorrow. As it is now its unstable so I cant upload a version for you guys to see.

But I'm really excited to say that the "Details" and "Master Looting" functions are comming along just nice!

I think you'll guys will like it alot!

2.2.02 Dev

2009-06-18T12:37:00.000-07:00

Here you guys go. Just remember these Dev versions are just a kind of end-of-day wherever I was happening to be working at. So not all features are as polished as they should be and their could be bugs or I could easily forget to remove some debug-code. Check back often and Dev Versions get updated alot.

Changes from 2.2.01

Fixed Issue of GearScores "Sticking" while mousing over raid players. THanks to Sorian for helping me track this one down.

You can now Whisper Party/Raid Reports. Use "/gspam party name". A special format is used when you use your own name. This function needs more polish and I'll have it soon.
bad commands will now display an error message.

Chanegs from 2.1.02

(Hopefully) Fixed Error that was caused by Mousing over random things. (I'm thinking this might be a compatibility problem)

2009-06-18T05:40:00.001-07:00

Well I lost my job today. The good news is I'll be really pumping out some code for GearScore now. And some other addons I've had in mind.

The bad news is I'm much poorer now. Any help would me much appreciated!

I should be fine for a while. My wife makes okay money and we have alot saved up.

And update should be out today.

Scheduled Changes for 2.2.X

2009-06-15T10:13:00.001-07:00

These are things I plan to add to 2.2.X before public release. THanks for all your comments and suggestions!

I will be adding an option to manually add a players gearscore into the system. "/gs add Name 1234"
I will be adding an option to manually remove a players gearscore from the system. "/gs remove Name"

TimeStamps will not be included in manually added players. This is to prevent abuse (Like I could do "/gs add Mirrikat45 9999"). Because if anyone who actually sees you will overwrite your manually added score with the last real score.
Manually added scores will not be automatically shared via communications. This is because the a false score could quickly bounce around the whole server.
However, if somebody in your group/guild uses "/gs Mirrikat45" you will still respond to them with the manually added in score.

When asking for a players score "/gs name" I will be making it so that it asks that player as well. (They will only be able to respond if they have the mod)
I will be adding an option to show the TimeStamp information directly in the tooltip along with the GearScore
I will be adding Average ItemLevels to the end of "/gs party" of you have average items level options turned on (/gs average)
I will now save Average ItemLevels between sessions if you have that option turned on (again "/gs average")
I plan to make it so you can do "/gs party Arxkanite" which will whisper your party gearscores to the player named "Arxkanite".

If you "/gs party yourname" you wont whisper yourself but you'll see output on your chat log. (If you whisper yourself its hard to read because you see 2 of every message)
if you "/gs party general" it will first look for "General Channel" before "General" player. This will allow you to spam in certain channels.

I'm looking to see if its possible to mouseover while holding shift, a player's name in chat log to see if it will show you that players GearScore info. (Lets hope!)
Fix Raid Mousover type bugs.

2.2.01 Dev

2009-06-14T03:00:00.000-07:00

I've got alot of work to do in 2.2.X

so keep comming back to watch changes:

If you want your idea added into 2.2.X before I finish the programming cycle then make sure you leave me your comment... If you dont like the layout of the numbers or formating of text then let me know!

THanks for your continued Support and please enjoy!

--Chanegs from 2.1.02

Fixed Error that would Causes Non-Guild Members to be spammed with "You are not in a guild"
(Hopefully) Fixed Error that was caused by Mousing over random things. (I'm thinking this might be a compatibility problem)
Added Date/Time INformation to "/gs " so you might see: "Name's last known GearScore: 4271 --- 6/9/2009 11:41 pm"
Added it to incoming messages so you will also see: "...however YourFriend has a GearScore of 3984 for Name. --- 6/14/2009 4:27 am"
Added DPS / HPS information to the GearScore Recount Window. It displays DPS or HPS depending on which one is higher.
Added Average ItemLevel option that will show Average ItemLevels in tooltip. Use "/gs average" to turn this on/off

Preview ScreenShot: Click Here

Who's this the best upgrade for?

2009-06-13T13:04:00.000-07:00

Alright, I plan to add in the next version an option for masterlooters (Or whoever turns on the function) that will show drops who will get the best improvement from it.

I plan to have it work based on the % increase in GearScore.

For Example: if Jack Has a GearScore of 2000 and Jill has a GearScore of 3000.

An Item Drops that would increase both of their scores by 20 if they equipped it.
In this Case Jack would see a boost of 1.00%, and Jill would see a boost of 0.67%

So its a better upgrade for Jack!

Another Example: Jack Has a GearScore of 2000 and Jill has a GearScore of 3000. but an Item drops that would improve Jack's Score by 25 and because Jill is wearing a crappier version of that item so it would improve her score by 40!

Well Jack would see a boost of: 1.25% and Jill would see an increase of 1.33%.

So its a better upgrade for Jill!

I like this method because if I just used Raw scores gained then many players would have a tie if they all had the same teir of gear equipped for that slot.

Let me know what you guys think!

2.2.00

2009-06-13T03:56:00.000-07:00

Alright, I started Programming 2.2.00 This week. I'll upload a preview version as soon as it becomes stable...

But for now the major changes are:

1. "/gs average" option will now add a tooltip to show you the average ItemLevel a player has.

2. Recount will now show you either Healing Per Second or Damage Per Second information while in GearScore mode. (Which ever one is higher). So it may look like this:
Leeroy 2468DPS - 2345.2, 66%)

Jenkins 1234(HPS - 1172.6, 33%)

3. I've added extra checks to hopefully avoid errors when mousing over weird shit. Please let me know if this works

I'm here!

2009-06-08T22:20:00.000-07:00

Alright sorry guys, I've been meaning to add a message here but lifes been crazy. The addon isn't "Dead" its "WifeleavesmeifIspendtoomuchtimeoncomputer". lol. ANyways I promise to work on it this weekend.

A few things I've noticed:

*Bugs - IF you are disconnecting from mouseover something is seriously wrong with your item Cache. All this mod does is ask the server what items your wearing, then asks the server about those items. Usually disconnect occurs if information is requested about an item that you has never been seen on the server before. But if a player is wearing those items then of course they have been seen on the server! I have no idea what can cause this (Perhaps another addon in combination of mine). Try turning off all addons but mine and see if the disconnect occurs. I will also reserach this more.

*Mousing over items in chat causes an error - THis again shouldn't be happening... I simply ask the server information about an item like "GetItemInfo(ItemLink)", and the error says "Hey you need to ask for info in this format: "GetItemInfo(ItemLink)"" (Which is what I did!) so an error should be occouring. However this seems to be limited to cretain Items so I'll add A check to ignore items with that name (Seems limited to COoking Recipies)

*Mousing over players in Raid shows other players Scores. - THis seems to occur when posting /gs raid as well. I think I have a plan to eliminate this. Again this shouldnt' be happening... I never programmed this functionallity it just worked within the framework of the code. I just say "When player mouses over "Bob" then ask for "Bob"'s GearScore. If he is out of range then just add his last known one to tooltip".

Upcomming:
I've seen a few Ideas I like -

1. Adding DPS to Recount Info for compare with GearScore. This is actually easier to do then it seems so I'll add this in, but I'll make an option to compare HPS as well as DPS.

2. Add AverageItemLevel - I will add this as an option because a few people have asked. I dont like this method because its unbalanced. If a player has Bracers, Rings, Belts, and Trinkets at 213 and Chest, Shoulders, Pants, and Helm at 189 they will look as though their AverageIlvl higher then it should. This is because Not all GearSlots are worth the same. Also somebody with an Average of 200 could be wearing all blues or all epics... You never know!

3. This mod was originally designed to look at talents and compare them against gear. With the outcomming of 3.1 and Duel Specs I have had to put this on hold. I plan to add this with my next Idea.

4. I will be bringing back Original Formulas for calculating GearScore when you "Inspect" a player. THis way you can see their gems/enchants, and score vs. Talents they possess. Current Formulas will still remain to give you quick information. (SO basically You can see somebody has A GearScore of 4000 so you can invite them and check their talents later and you'll most likely not be burned.)

In addition:
I plan to add a function that will automatically Ask your GUild/Raid for updated GearScores when a player joins a raid, or if you join a raid/group it will immediatly ask for updates of all of those players.

I want to add a Delete command to erase a player's GearScore such as /gs delete Bladez would remove "Bladez" GearScore from your database..

MOre to come and hopefully an update this weekend.

Thanks for your patiences!

I've released 2.1.02 for public.

Not much changed from the Developer's Version of 2.1.00

I fixed several issues with "/gs raid"

I fixed a bug that will allow you to obtain updated scores from guildies/parties

Potential Headache:

2009-05-20T22:24:00.000-07:00

I wrote this wrong, I'll update it as soon as I get time.

This is the Original formula I used (When I include enchants/gems) to determine GearScore. Because I am unable to access gem/enchant information in the same way I use to I have created a seperate formula that is able to generate the same scores but is based more on iLevel then sum of stats. I will post this formula here soon.

Step by Step Breakdown:

For each stat on an item:

Take the sum of that stat
Multiply it by the V value in the first table.
Raise the number to the 1.7095 power.

Add all these modified stat values together.
Lower to the 1.7095 power.
Multiply by "L" for the equipment type for that item.
Multiply by "C" which is a scaling variable used to set the scales of GearScores wherever you want. C was 1.74, but has increased to 1.8618 to compensate for loss of enchants/gems.
Add the values of all GearScore Items to find a player's GearScore.

Example Item: ]Wrists of Madeup]: +25 Stamina, +10mp5, +10 Intellect

( [Stamina] * 2 )^1.7095 = 802.40
( [Intellect] * 1 )^1.7095 = 51.23
( [MP5] * 2.5 )^1.7095 = 245.35
802.40 + 51.23 + 245.35 = 1098.98
1098.98 ^ ( 1 / 1.7095 ) = 60.10
60.10 * 0.5625 = 33.81
33.81 * 1.74 = 58.82
GearScore: 59

Communication on its way!

2009-05-18T03:29:00.001-07:00

UPDATE: Actually, I lied. I finished it all in one night. Here it is:

Download GearScore 2.1.00-dev

I don't belive there are any errors but if there are let me know! Also let me know if you experience any spikes in lag. This update is kinda useless if you dont get some friends and or guildies to test it out with ya.

Some Cool Features!

if you "/gs Arxkanite" and you dont have my score you may see something like this now:

"No known GearScore for Arxkanite"

"...but Keightie has a GearScore of 4177 for Arxkanite"

(That is if somebody you know, Keightie had a score for me)

Alright, I've begun programming the communcation functions of GearScore that were in the original. Now that scores are instantaneous again this also becomes an option.

HOw will this work?

Everytime you mouseover a player you record that player's Score and a Timestamp is created to measure when that player's score was last taken. (You'll see why this becomes important later).

With the next release you will also send to Party and Guild, the Score and Timestamp. This will update their database of Scores. In addition, All guild members who recieve your score will resend it to all their parties, and all party members will repost to their individual guilds. Clearly the more members who have this mod the further a single score will bounce around the server. Now these messages are no longer then a about 30 letters, and dont consume much resorces at all. (Recount sends way more information!).

Now, to reduce excessive respaming, No player will repost information they have gained back into the channel from which they gained it. (For example, if my Guildy "Lung" sends me "Keightie"'s Score in Guild Channel, I will repost that information into Party Channel, but not into Guild Channel because they already got that information.

Now if I'm in a party with Lung, and a guildy, "Mooire" sends me the information from guild Channel, Me and Lung will both post it into eachother's Party Channel. Normally we would repost back into guild, then back into party, and back and forth till we disconnect. However because we each received the information from guild originally, when we get the new information and determine that its the same as we already have on record we will not repost the information at all anywhere, saving us from an infinite loop of communication.

Now, if you mouse over somebody who is out of range, or do a "/gs " check on somebody who's score you do not have, you will then "ASK" your guild and party channels if they have that information. Now each person in your guild may have differn't information if they were all online at differn't times. They will each post information into guild about 's Score. The one with the highest "TimeStamp" (And therefore the lastest date), will be added to your database and all others discarded. Once the information becomes available the tooltip of the person you are mousing over will automatically update. This is especially useful if you mousover somebody in your raidlist, or party who you are quite far away from.

It is posible that you ask your party, they request it from their guild, a guildy in that guild requests it from another party who intern requests it from their guild and sends it all teh way back up the chain. A big enough server with enough people will make everyone's GearScore avaialble at all times.

Well I hope 3 things from this essay, 1. That somebody understands this, 2. That somebody cares =P. 3. Somebody from Kanasas please visit my site!

2.0.03

2009-05-17T17:17:00.000-07:00

What a nightmare this has been for me!

http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=12245

There you guys go. SO sorry!

2.0.01

2009-05-17T16:13:00.000-07:00

Alright, Fixxed an Error in 2.0.00.

Sorry for that guys, I knew I should have released it here first and waited!

http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info12245-GearScore.html#info

2.0 Released!

2009-05-17T04:54:00.001-07:00

Why a big jump to 2.0? Well after I released 1.2.01 I had tons of extra code left in. So I Removed BonusScanner, Ace Libraries, GearScoreRecount, and huge amounts of functions and coding from the mod. And I changed how many of the functions worked. The mod went from 101kb ---> 13kb! All this restructering forced me to upgrade the Version to 2.0

Please remove the "GearScoreRecount" folder before upgrading, or disable it on your addons options menu. It woudl be best to delete the "GearScore" folder before updating as well, but isn't required.

2.0 is basically a slimmed down, faster running, cleaned up version of 1.2.01. However I did add several more features.

Added "/gs " function. Now you can type "/gs Arxkanite" for example and it will give you my last known GearScore.
I changed how Variables are loaded into the game, no more updating problems shouod ever occor.
When making changes to options it will now show you for example "PlayerScore: On"
New "Comparison" option. This will show your gearscore and your targets when you mouseover them. And it will also show you the difference between the 2. I plan to add this to item tooltips in upcomming versions.
"/gspam party" was moved to "/gs party" and same for "/gs raid" and "/gs bg"

Download Here: Version 2.0.0

Although I was sad to see the loss of enchantments and gems, I'm seeing the brighter side now. For one thing, having the mod working and at full speed is absolutly great! Gems played a very minor role in the value of gear and most enchantments such as "Minor speed Increase" didn't count for anything anyways. So really were not losing that much.

On the other hand: I now find it easier to compare to items. Before when a new item dropped off a boss i would have a difficult time comparing the 2 items if one was gemmed up nicely and the other had only empty sockets.

This system frees me to add many many more updates to this mod. I plan to add in a table of gear items everyone in the raid has equiped, so that raiders will see what player will gain the most amount of score increase off upgrading any item.

Bear with me guys! I know the change may be hard for some of you. This is 100% Blizzards fault for changing how items are updated. And maybe they will change it back next patch, who knows!

Finnaly... will somebody from Nebraska please visit this site? Your the only state in all of the USA who hasn't visit me!

Developer's Version 1.2.01!

2009-05-16T05:44:00.000-07:00

IF YOU SEE NO SCORES AFTER UPDATING TO THIS VERSION TYPE: "/gs reset"

Alright here it is. This one shows no problesm with 3.1. All GearScores are now calculated instantly upon mousing over a player. It works great and I have to say I'm loving the feel of it again. Thes changes may be temporarily if blizzard fixes the issue next patch.

Effects on player's scores:

Well, I found an error in my Equalization of Sheilds/Ranged/Weapons/Trinkets. I had a check to determine if the item was BC or WOTLK. However I proggrammed this check incorrectly and it would always show items as BC items. The fix in this error will easily boost everyones scores up on their weapons, sheilds, ranged items, and/or trinkets.

However,

I have removed Enchantment and Gem calculations. This isn't as bad as it seems at first. I WILL ADD back in Enchantments at a later date if its possible. Gems dont really effect your item scores that much unless its an added socket to a Belt, or using a special JC gems. This is because the an item lvl 213 with gems socketed is usually about the same score as an unsockatable item lvl 213. So the loss of gems doesnt really lower scores, however it does boost scores of people who don't socket their equipment. On the other end the lost of enchantments does cause a loss in gearscore.

I've compensated The differnce in loss between these 2 by adding 7% additional score to items. This ammount will be removed once enchantments are back in.

Most players will see a very small differnce in GearScores. Let me know if something extreme happens so I can fix it!

/GSPARTY Added back in! To use it please use these commands. "/gspam raid", "/gspam party", "/gspam bg". (I changed the slashcommands to make them all under one function in the code base). It now works differntly by just spamming the last known GearScore of players in your party/raid. So if a player is out of range it wont matter. If a Score is unknown it wont be shown in the list.

Many players have asked for me to add a description to the side of the gearscore such as "bad" or "Great". However I dont feel its up to me to determine those values. Instead I used "Uncommon", "Superior", and "Epic", and finnaly "Legendary" for groups of 1000. To turn this feature on use "/gs describe". I plan to add an option for players to come up with their own ranges, and their own discriptions in a future release.

Changes from 1.1.03

Updated my guild information
Added a second Settings check to fix updating problems
Turned Delay-based scanning off.
Scans will no longer include Enchantment or Gem Information
Scans will now be instantaenous
Added back in report systems for those without recount.
Added /slash commands for options. Press "/gset" or "/gs" for options list.
Updated list of GearScore Supporters.
Fixed error when comparing WotLK Weapons/Trinkets/Shields.
Added a Reset command to repair all settings back to default.

Get the update here: Developer's Version 1.2.01

All the code for the last version is still intact. Even though I dont actually use BonusScanner, or the Ace Libs anymore. These will be removed in the release version.

If you want to compare your scores to see how much they changed between versions use this command: "/gs dev1" to toggle on and off the use of 1.1.x method of calculation.

Ooops!

2009-05-16T01:20:00.000-07:00

Midway working though this tonight i noticed I had a variable named wrong this whole time!

I have "2" teirs of specilization. One to scan Old BC items, and one to scan new WotLK items. The problem was instead of looking at ItemLevel to determine what expansion i was looking at, i had it set to look at ItemScore, which was always 0 at that time. Oops! So many of you may notice a boost in GearScore.

On the other hand, The loss of gems/enchants will drop everyone on average 7%. So I have changed the exponential slider to compensate for this. Scores should change very little now.

Good News!

2009-05-14T22:31:00.001-07:00

Ulright, I'm about to head to work but I was successful in tracking down the exact cause of the "3.1 problem". It seems enchantment information is available, but Gem Information isnt. I was also able to add back in the old /gsparty /gsraid systems.

So... Where does this leave the mod?

Not in as bad of shape as I first thought. At first were gonna lose Gem and Enchant information untill I program an entire database of all possible enchantments and their scores. If somebody wants to send me an Open Office formated spread sheet i would love you! Include all enchants, what items that enchant can be on, and that enchant ments required item level / player level and finnaly what skill level is required. I'll get on this myself after the next release.

Now If blizzard remains with the current method of gem information then we'll lose that. But its not as bad as it seems. An Item with sockets is usually worth less then an item without sockets. Blizzard 'expects' certain gems will go in each gear. So... People with great gems wont see a loss of score (Except for their enchants) but people with amazing gems will see a slight loss of 2/3 pts per item, and people with no gems will show higher gearscore. This should also make comparing gemmed items against non gem items easier to do (Because you dont have to guess how much the gem slots will be worth).

The code I used to track down this information left the next update unstable and I'm off to work now, so no update tonight. But for sure a big update the next 2 days.

Thanks so much for bearing with me guys!

Expect Big UPdates This weekend!

2009-05-14T08:50:00.000-07:00

I should have a big update out this weekend.

I plan to do this:

Test and impliment 2 differn't ways of fixing the "3.1" problem. If both fail I will use temporary "Enchant" -free scanning.
Add the damn /slashcommand i promised
Add back in the /gsparty /gsraid for people without recount
recode the databse
recode settings so that upgrading doesnt cause issues to players
lots of other stuff (I'm tired right now)

What do you guys think?

2009-05-10T14:34:00.001-07:00

Alright, after a week of despertatly trying to crack blizzards f**kup in 3.1 i give up slightly.

I'm betting the change wasn't done intentionally. I think its because they left 1/2 done code for the upcomming GearManager in the game. And My bet is that the problem will be magically fixed in the next patch. So I have one of the following options, let me know what you think is best:

1. Remove Enchantment/Gem Information. This wouldl instantly allow gearscore information to the tooltip on mouseover once again, no more multiple scores, or wait times. However then my mod eventhough it has fancier mathmatics and such wouldn't be much differn't then fubargear (Or whatever its called). And everyone's score will go down.

2. Make GearScores avaiable on "Inspect" only. This would work and give accurate gearscore information again, but would kind of ruin the spirit of the mod.

3. Continue with Time-Delayed Scans. Akward and doesn't always work. The slower your computer is the longer it takes to load an item into cache. This means for this mod to work on the slowest computers i have to put like a 5second delay on scanning... Very annoying.

4. Wait it out. I'm trying hard to work on this Table work around but i tmight be a bit.

Thanks for yoru support, and it tears me up inside that blizzard did this to me.

Change of plans...

2009-04-29T06:25:00.000-07:00

Alright, I thought of a really awsome way to fix the whole damn 3.1 bug. I'm now going to create a table of each mouseover person's gear. Then whenever you mouseover them again, instead of attempting ot calculate score it will only retrieve that person's gear items. If the items are now differn't then it will calculate a new score. If they are the same then nothing will be done.

I'm hopeing this removes seeing 2 scores on each person all the time.

It may also make it possible to detect automatically whenever somebody in your party/raid's gear changes and to recalculate their score even if you dont mouseover them.

I am also closing in on making gearscore recount automatically update without entering combat.

So the tables I plan to keep resource management like this:

A. Tables will be kept for all party members until they leave, or you leave / quit / exit game

B. For players in a Capital City, information on that player will be kept until you leave the capital city, or they do.

C. For all other occurence information will be kept for 5min or no more then 50 players.

The information stored in variables will basically be a list of item links, not really consuming much resources anyways.

BTW: To get GearScore Recount to work Make sure you have all the mods checked correctly. Enable: "GearScore", "GearScoreRecount", "Recount". Next after you enter the game Right Click where it says "Damage Done", from the list choose "GearScore". (Or use the two Arrows to navigate there.) GearScore only seems to work when your in "Overall Data" mode. (I plan to fix this as soon as I figure out how). Also note that because of the way Recount was created it only updates your gearscore on the list when you enter combat. Unfortunatly I'm still working out crazy bugs that blizzard introduced in 3.1. Thanks for bearing with me and I'm so sorry it broke.

Developer's Version 1.1.03

2009-04-27T06:35:00.001-07:00

Small update here:

--Removed "Unit Inventory Changed" messages.

--Hopefully fixed some upgrading issues.

Developer's Version 1.1.03

If it doesnt work on some of your charachters please make sure you have "BonusScanner" turned on for all your charachters. SOmetimes it may get turned off on only 1 charachter.

Finally, copy this and paste it into your chat log:

/run GS_Settings = {}

Thanks again everyone!

Here you go.

2009-04-27T06:33:00.000-07:00

Here you can see where your gearscore is on your charachter sheets. I apologize that I didn't make it more clear it was here. Thanks again for all the support!

Developer Version 1.1.02

2009-04-25T07:06:00.000-07:00

Alright, after a long night of programing I was able to accomplish quite alot. Here are tonights results. First thing tomorrow (Remember my days run from 4pm - 7am PST) will be the addition of /slash commands to set Variables.

Please, it is very important that I get feedback from you. Report Bugs here or in the bugs section and also leave all comments about this version here.

Get it Here: Developer's Version 1.1.02 (98 kb)

Changes From 1.1.01

Changed "Upgrade Message" to inform you where to download, and who is running a newer version then you.
Allowed Clients to communicate Developer's Status
Repaired 3.1 Crap Changes with a 2 second delay before updating score. On rare occations of spamming the mouse back and forth I noticed some off calculations here. Let me know if you notice anything specific.
Updated to Newest Version of BonusScanner.
Installed Ace3Timer.
When mouseing over a player you will see a "*" next to their name if the game is currently calculating that player's score.
You will now see "Scanning*" Next to a player if its the first time you've ever scored that player.
Fixed Additional Dependency Options
Added all the code neccessary to set options.
Freed up CPU time. If you mouse over many players at a time only the Item Links they have equipped will be saved to ram. The second you mouse over another player the first player is forgotten about and his gear is never checked. It now takes 1.5 seconds to update a player's GearScore.

If I dont finish programing /slash commands tonight you can manually set options by changing variables within the client:

/run GS_Settings["Show"] = 0

Shows no tooltip information.

/run GS_Settings["Show"] = 1

Will Show GearScore on Items and on Players.

/run GS_Settings["Show"] = 2

Will Show GearScore on Players but NOT Items.

/run GS_Settings["Show"] = 3

Will Show GearScore on Items but NOT Players.

/run GS_Settings["Description"] = 0

Hides word Descriptions on player's scores.

/run GS_Settings["Description"] = 1

Will show word descriptions such as "Bad" or "Epic" next to a player's Score.

/run GS_Settings["Special"] = 0

Hides information about player's who donate to GearScore or about me if you mouseover my character in the game.

/run GS_Settings["Special"] = 1

Shows information about player's who donate to GearScore or about me if you mouseover my character in the game.

/run GS_Settings["Level"] = 0

Hides ItemLevel Information on Item Tooltips.

/run GS_Settings["Level"] = 1

shows ItemLevel Information on Item Tooltips.

/run GS_Settings["Communication"] = 0

Disables all Communication between players who share GearScore. --Only turn off if you have a slow connection.

/run GS_Settings["Communication"] = 1

Allows the mod to communicate to other players who use GearScore.

Check back for update tomorrow morning.

2009-04-24T07:29:00.000-07:00

Alright, I'm done with work for the week. After I get back from sleeping I'll be working on the mod from about 5pm - 7am (PST) for the next 2 days. At about 8am (PST) each morning I will have a new Developer's Version available here. So please check back and download it and give me as much feedback as possible. Let me know what you think of certain options, desgin elements, and of course bugs. Many of the features currenly in the mod came from other users. No Idea is dumb!

I usually use my char "Kymax" on "Detheroc - US" for programing if you want to drop me a line.

If I dont hear about any bugs I'll release the version to Curse/WoWInterface during server downtime on Tuesday.

~Mirrikat45

Donations

2009-04-22T16:54:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I was pleasently suprised. I didn't think anyone would actually donate or even expect donations. My wife told me to setup Pledgie incase anyone wanted to help me out. Well I'm proud to say that "Murmilude" has become the first person to donate to me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

So I was thinking, if people wanted to do this for me there must be something special I can do for them. What do you guys think if I made it so if you mouse over their main on w/e server they are on it said underneath their GearScore "Official Supporter of GearScore"?

Laundry List for This Weekend.

2009-04-22T16:41:00.001-07:00

I will fix the issues that blizzard changed with 3.1.
Fix the "GS_Bonuses a boolean value" bug.
Change the way the "First_Run" function is called so that it is recalled on upgrade.
Add Options. -Please Comment here if you would like to see a specific option.

Options I currently have in mind so far are:

/gs ilvl - Turns showing of Ilvl on or off.
/gs color - Turns showing of Color on or Off.
/gs desc - Turns showing of Description on or Off (this is actually programed but not turned on )
(If I find out how I'll automatically set B/C based on Colorblind mode)
/gs comm - turn on or off the upcoming communcation mode (In case you have a slow connection)
/gs update - toggles rather or not GearScore shows when an upgrade is available
/gs explain - Use this when you get asked "WTF is GearScore?", or "Yeah it prob just calculates average ilvl or something". It will explain to yoru party/raid What GearScore is and why it doesn't suck.
/gs show - turn on/off rather it shows in your tooltips.
/gs Special - turn off special tooltips generated by GearScore. (SO far there is only one when you mouseover my character in the game)
/gs - shows lists of options
/gs options - same as above

I'll add more here as I think of it.

New Items Bug

2009-04-20T06:48:00.000-07:00

All right, I tracked down a bug in the current version of GearScore (1.0.00+). This issue is when new items are released by blizzard. The first time you look at the item the information gets passed to BonusScanner to scan the item. However if its not in your local Cache (IE your Client hasn't seen it "before" then BonusScanner will bug out in attempting to view that item). This will only occur each time once per time you've seen the item. Sometimes you may see the item without mousing over it (Such as while some character is wearing them that you see) and this wont cause a bug. I'll look for a way to attempt to determine of an item is in Cache before passing it to BonusScanner.

Developer Version 1.1.01

2009-04-19T04:48:00.000-07:00

I've been working on updating GearScore to get it to run well inside 3.1. The main problem I've been having is that blizzard changed the way Item Information is retrieved. It use to be when I obtained an InventoryItem from a player on mouseover that information was available right away. Now however The Servers feed me the name of the item with a generic link, instead of the Item with its Enchants/Gems. This is causing a bug where if you mouseover a player it shows a low score, then if you click on them or mouseover them again a new score appears. This is driving me nuts!

I plan to upload a new version each night I work on this mod, Follow this blog to always keep up on the newest version. All the feedback and support from everyone is deeply appreciated! I present you with the first publicly available Developer's Version.

I did however add some more stuff and fixed a bit of issues in the next version.
Changes From 1.0.00
1. Cleaned up some Code, made it more effiecient
2. Added Color to PaperDoll Frame Discription of Personal GearScore
3. Moved MyGearScore as part of "GearScore_GetScore" function
4. Removed GearScores from non-Gear Items
5. Added Shopping Tooltip Information
6. Fixed Dependency Issues
7. Repaired Several Issues with Recount (I'm sure there are more, let me know!)

With the release of 3.1 My mod broke! I'm quite disappointed, but don't worry I'm working as hard as I can on getting it back up and running. Please bear with me and give me as many error logs as you can get. Thanks again ~Mirrikat45

I'm back

Alright, sorry guys! The last 6 months I was screwed and had to work 7days a week with 10hr shifts... thats 30hrs of overtime / week! Which is great if you like money... but horrible if you want to have a life... damn, I barely even logged into world of warcraft. But THis weeked I promise to dump 16hrs into gearscore and get the mod back up and running.

Thanks alot for all your patience!

Version 1.0.0 Notes

2009-01-31T16:58:00.000-08:00

The following have already been implemented in the next version:

Complete Re-Write from scratch. Better Variable Names, better Hooks, simpler and more efficient code. Easier to Localize. Almost all the functions return values instead of simply setting variables, so that any other addon could call my functions.
100% TipTac Support, no longer causes any problems with tiptac at all!
Item Tooltips - Each item you look at / mouseover will show you that item's score. You'll notice that most items in naxx will have the same score, this is because blizzard considers them all equal in power. Its up to you, the player to choose the stats that suits your playstyle the best.
Even more accurate weapon Equalization. (Found a better mathmatical Formula)
Database Support, will now remember the GearScores of players so that you can share them with other players who dont have the mod.
Removed "Feral Attack Power" from the bonuses, because all weapons have this in addition to regular stats now (From the point of view of a druid) this means that if you used the old version of this mod during the last patch all your stats are messed up!

The following is planned to be added in the next version

Titan Bar Support
An Options Interface
Personal Weights (Shows the value of an item inrespect to your Class/Spec. Has no bearing on the GearScore of an Item however.)
