Asleep at the WoW

First things first.  I have a request to the addon community out there.  I want an ACE addon that will export a list of all my addons.  I have an addon right now that I use called ACP (Addon Control Panel). I want something like this (or an update to this addon) that will let me export a list of addons with options to categorize them and figure out what the “main” addon is and which are libraries/dependencies/etc. I understand you can’t write an addon that writes out anything but a config file, but then maybe a website (I can probably run it) that parses those config files and gives you a nice HTML list (or somesuch) would be awesome.. PLEASE! :D  OK.. That’s done.. Thanks…

Last night I had a pleasant surprise in that Jess transferred over her other 2 “main” toons to my server. She is a great player and will be an asset to our guild!

I was farming for a bit on Fyra when I got whispered to come help with one of the 5v5 teams.  I asked if I could try out Fyra and they said sure.. Well, Fyra isn’t so good at PvP.. LOL… After 4 matches, I swapped out for Fhuun and we won a few of the remainder.  We actually increased our rating over the 10 games because the ones we won were BIG wins (like 20+ points each).  Most of the losses were low (8 points, 11 points…). It was pretty fun.  I like it mostly because it is also pretty fast.  On a few times Fhuun healed over 42k hp over the match!

The the GL wanted to run into our “cleared” Kara with his 69 Warlock and get the book from the Maiden area… Well, the raidID he joined had a small problem…. We hadn’t killed the Maiden yet! LOL… He got smacked down by the mobs there and then put together 10 of us that were either already saved to that ID or hadn’t run Kara that week at all (well, on particular ALTS).  We ran in and took out the Maiden pretty quick and cleared the room with the book.  I brought Fhuun since that was the ID he was saved to. 

After the quick run for the book, we got a group together to run Heroic Blood Furnace. The group consisted of 2 Druids (Bear Tank and Oomkin (Fyra)), 2 Priests (Pil [Holy], Jessmyn [Jess/Shadow]) and Arienna (Kezz’ Hunter). We didn’t do all that badly considering our lack of CC. We had quite a few wipes on trash but the bosses were actually pretty simple (isn’t that usually the case with Heroics).  3 Badges later (and a large repair bill) we were done around 2am my time and that was all she wrote.

Tonight Tonight Tonight… It is Gruul night. Hopefully we will have enough to clear the whole place out.  Maybe, if we do it quick enough, we can head into SSC for some trash clearing. Wish us luck!

New poll is up.  And this time I want to know how many addons you use. No, you don’t have to count them. Just pick the most appropriate answer on the right! I’m sure you can do it.. If you really want to count them or give me a list, go ahead and leave a comment in this post.  I would love it if each of you would leave a comment with the one addon (or more) that you couldn’t play without (not counting guild required ones like Omen and DBM/Bigwigs).

Thanks guys!  Have at it!

I recently discovered a pretty cool way to use Outfitter with ArkInventory. You can setup rules in ArkInventory that correlate to Outfitter outfits and then assign those rules to an ArkInventory slot. (Links to the addons are at the end of the post)

I am assuming you already have ArkInventory and Outfitter installed and setup to your liking (yay for prerequisites…). I wrote a previous post about ArkInventory. Go there for some more information about this very configurable “All-in-one” bag addon.

So… The idea here is that you go to the rules section in ArkiIventory. This is done by bringing up your bag view and hitting the bottom of the two arrows in the top bar, then clicking on the Rules link there (see image).

This will bring up the rules dialog for AI. You see here that I have a few rules for my Outfitter setup already. You will see the rules for ALL of your characters here, I believe. Click the ADD button and we go to the Add Rule screen.

Here you fill in the information necessary which is mainly just the Name of the rule (whatever you’d like) and then the rule itself. For outfitter rules you use outfit(<nameoutfit>). So, for my Healing gear, if I created an outfit called Healing i would use outfit(Healing). Hit OK and you are done creating the rule.

To then get all the items that are for that outfit to show up in a different row than the generic one in AI, you go to the EDIT mode in AI (Gear in the upper right corner) . Then pick the row you want the gear in and click on the number for that row. Go down to the rules menu option and you will see your rules to the right. Pick the one you just made and PRESTO! all that gear will move into that slot.

Of course, if you have all that gear ON, you won’t see anything in there. But as you shift in and out of outfits, you will see the gear rearrange. I have found a small issue that you need to edit the outfit and save it again for changes to outfits to show up. I don’t know if this is a bug in Outfitter or ArkInventory or if it is just the way it works.

You can get the two addons discussed in this post below:

• ArkInventory - (This is an ACE addon, you can download it from files.wowace.com )
• Outfitter

UPDATE: Seems that the outfit() rules work in ItemRack and ClosetGnome also!
