CharScanner
http://www.wowace.com/addons/charscanner/
Code:
-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- CharScanner by kunda -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- CharScanner scans Basic Character Data, Talent Specialization, Equipment, -- -- PvE/PvP Achievements, PvE Boss Kill Statistics and PvP Statistics from -- -- single target or group and shows this data in a movable frame. Any scanned -- -- unit data is temporarily saved (in memory not in SavedVariables) and can -- -- be viewed or deleted any time. -- -- -- -- ONE click and ONE look shows the most important character data! -- -- -- -- CharScanner does not rate, score or measure! -- -- CharScanner simply displays available ingame information in a nice way. -- -- -- -- What you get in ~0.4 Seconds: -- -- - A complete Talent scan (primary and secondary talent specialization). -- -- - A complete Gear scan with many additional information. -- -- - A PvE dungeon and raid achievement/statistic scan. -- -- - A PvP achievement/statistic scan. -- -- What you get in 50 Seconds if you scan your 25 player group: -- -- ( 40 Seconds for Achievement/Talent scan restriction - Patch 3.3.5 ) -- -- ( 10 Seconds real scan time ) -- -- - All from above. -- -- - A nice Compare Tool. -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- No SendAddonMessage(), no RealID/BN, no SavedVariables madness! -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- NOTES: -- -- - Inspect range IS A MUST! -- -- - There is NO 'Inspect Glyphs API'! :-( -- -- - NO code is executed if you are in combat (maximum: one OnUpdate cycle -- -- and one button hide). -- -- - NO scan/event caching! -- -- -> If a scan (~0.4sec) is completed, NO more code is executed. -- -- - Maximum duration for one scan is: 1 Second (default). -- -- ! Change this value in the options menu if you have a high latency or ! -- -- ! if you get a 'Scan incomplete!' status message if you scan yourself. ! -- -- - GroupScan: -- -- - Raid roster changes between a 'GroupScan'-Button click and end of -- -- groupscan are discarded! -- -- - GroupScan will stop if: -- -- All group/raid members has been scanned. or -- -- You enter combat! or -- -- You click on: 'STOP SCAN' -- -- - 'GroupScanMissing'-Button will only scan party/raid members that were -- -- not scanned before (out-of-range/new/...). -- -- - Entering combat OR entering/leaving an instance OR zoning (with loading -- -- screen) will stop any scan. -- -- - Mainrole: (Lex DRUID) -- -- - DRUID TANK = Thick Hide + Natural Reaction >= 4 -- -- - LDB is supported. -- -- But: LibStub, CallbackHandler-1.0 & LibDataBroker-1.1 is not included. -- -- This is intended and I will not change this! -- -- - Scan duration: -- -- ! Blizzard added a Achievement/Talent scan restriction with Patch 3.3.5 ! -- -- ! Only 6 scans in a row are allowed, than a 10-second break is required ! -- -- Scan duration is mainly latency dependent! My tests: -- -- - SINGLESCAN: -- -- ~0.4 Seconds for one unit. -- -- - GROUPSCAN: -- -- - A group with 25 player is normally scanned in less than 50 Seconds -- -- if all members are in inspect range. -- -- player 1- 6: ~2.4 Seconds -- -- 10-second break: Achievement/Talent scan restriction -- -- player 7-12: ~2.4 Seconds -- -- 10-second break: Achievement/Talent scan restriction -- -- player 13-18: ~2.4 Seconds -- -- 10-second break: Achievement/Talent scan restriction -- -- player 18-24: ~2.4 Seconds -- -- 10-second break: Achievement/Talent scan restriction -- -- player 24-25: ~2.4 Seconds -- -- 40 Seconds for Achievement/Talent scan restriction -- -- ~10 Seconds real scan time -- -- =~50 Seconds for a complete 25p-group scan -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- TODO: -- -- - Some frame improvements (undock/resize/move/scale). -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- INCORRECT DATA: -- -- - Statistic id 4046/4045 (Anub'arak) bug was fixed with Patch 3.3.3.xxxxx, -- -- but the old 4045 statistic value which is returned from the server is -- -- still the same (old wrong cumulative 4046-one). -- -- -> This means: -- -- The statistic value returned for id 4045 is NOT 100% CORRECT -- -- (armory too!). Look at function BossStatistic() for a workaround. -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- NEVER EVER: -- -- - CharScanner will never ever save scanned data to SavedVariables. -- -- - Most data will change every day, so it's completely useless to save -- -- such data to SavedVariables. -- -- The sheer amount of data makes such a feature a no go. -- -- - CharScanner will never ever autoscan a character or a group. -- -- - You must actively initialize a single or group scan by clicking a -- -- button. -- -- Triggering INSPECT_READY, INSPECT_TALENT_READY or -- -- INSPECT_ACHIEVEMENT_READY without user interaction is very bad and can -- -- cause massive lags. -- -- - CharScanner will never ever use SendAddonMessage()!!! -- -- - I hate SendAddonMessage()! -- -- - SendAddonMessage() can send ANY global data (eg from SavedVariables) -- -- to anybody without your agreement! -- -- - EVERYBODY can fake any message that is send via SendAddonMessage(). -- -- - A messages from SendAddonMessage() is ALWAYS! an untrustable source! -- -- - There is only one trustable source: The WoW server! -- -- - CharScanner will never ever use any RealID/BattleNet BN...() function!!! -- -- - NEVER EVER!!! -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- slash commands: /cs - /scan - /charscanner -- -- example: /scan (CharScanner GUI & SINGLESCAN) -- -- example: /scan options (CharScanner OPTIONS) -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- example with gear frame:  compare example:  more screenshots: http://www.wowace.com/addons/charscanner/images/ Download: (no JavaScript/Flash required) http://www.wowace.com/addons/charscanner/files/ Enjoy! kunda Last edited by kunda; 08-31-2011 at 03:19 PM.

- for the raid kills, was he actively participating or did he get carried? - for the gear choices, did he have enough knowledge of his class to choose them, or did some website else do the thinking? - for the quests completed, did the player depend on QuestHelper/Carbonite or does he know how to read? I bemoan the lack of a timetravel/telepathy API in Blizzard's game client. Ah well. I'll give this addon a try all the same!  It looks very useful for those of us who depend on PUGs for our alts.

Re: PUGchecker
From one side I can't but applaud it from a development perspective.
From the other.. way to feed the jerks even more. |

Re: PUGchecker
Normally I have a deep philosophical opposition to these types of addons. But in this case I commend you for simply organizing existing data in a way that facilitates easier decision making.
Thank you for not falling into the trap of trying to "rate" or "score" or "measure" players using your own scale.

Re: CharScanner
I changed the name of this addon to CharScanner (sorry, mods/admins for the trouble). This sounds not so limited

Re: CharScanner
Any chance of getting an autoscan, or scangroup/raid option? Manually doing it is a bit tedious for 25m.

But there is a Groupscan Button (look at the screenshots; the second button from the left - it looks like a circle). Click on it and anybody in your group (and in inspect range) is scanned. |

Re: CharScanner
i'd love to see something like this for battlegrounds. maybe have the modality change when in a bg to use the battleground stats to report win/loss % for the people in your raid. report hk for the "kills" column and maybe have a 2nd ilevel number that only counts pvp gear (or maybe just give a total resil value).
for the detailed character info, you could report the different win/loss for each bg and maybe reputations with each faction. perhaps some arena info as well. it seems like all the code is pretty much there, just a matter of tweaking the values it reports. |

Re: CharScanner
Yes. lilsparky, good point. I thought about an PvP scan too. The main problem is to integrate it smoothly into the GUI. Think I have some time in the next couple of weeks to find a solution.
