CharScanner
http://www.wowace.com/addons/charscanner/
Code:
-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- CharScanner by kunda -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- CharScanner scans Basic Character Data, Talent Specifications, Equipment, -- -- Achievements and Boss Kill Statistics from target unit 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. -- -- CharScanner GUI: Simple, distinctive, clearly recognizable design. -- -- -- -- What you get in ~0.300 Seconds: -- -- - A complete Talent scan (primary and secondary talent specification). -- -- - A complete Gear scan. -- -- - A dungeon and raid achievement scan. -- -- - A dungeon and raid statistic scan. -- -- What you get in 10 Seconds if you scan your 25 player group: -- -- - All from above. -- -- - A nice Compare Tool. -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- NOTES: -- -- - The scanned unit MUST BE in inspect range! -- -- - There is no 'Inspect Glyphs API'! :-( -- -- - Maximum time 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' -- -- - Mainrole: (TANK check) -- -- - DEATHKNIGHT TANK: >=10 points in Blade Barrier+Toughness+Anticipation.-- -- - DRUID TANK: >=4 points in Thick Hide+Protector of the Pack. -- -- Sure, this is not perfect, but all Deathknight or Druid Tanks I scanned -- -- in 25 player raids used this talent combinations. -- -- - LDB is supported. -- -- But: LibStub, CallbackHandler-1.0 & LibDataBroker-1.1 is not included. -- -- This is intended and I will not change this! -- -- - Entering combat or entering/leaving an instance or zoning (with loading -- -- screen) will stop any scan. -- -- - Memory usage: -- -- - Base memory usage without a scan: ~610KB -- -- - Base memory with populated class talent data: ~940KB (~33KB each) -- -- - One unit: ~30KB (incl. data for Compare Tool) -- -- = 25 scanned units: ~1690KB -- -- CharScanner is designed for fast temporary scans. -- -- Delete the data you do not need anymore! -- -- - Scan duration: -- -- - This is mainly latency dependent! -- -- My tests: -- -- - ~0.300 Seconds for one unit -- -- - A group with 25 player is normally scanned in less than 10 Seconds -- -- if all members are in inspect range. -- -- = This is really really fast, because each scan requires to wait -- -- until 2 events trigger: -- -- INSPECT_TALENT_READY and INSPECT_ACHIEVEMENT_READY -- -- -- -- TODO: -- -- - Shitty Gem Scan. -- -- -- -- KNOWN BUGS: -- -- - statistic id 4046/4045 (Anub'arak) -- -- 4046 'Times completed the Trial of the Crusader (25 player)' -- -- also counts for -- -- 4045 'Times completed the Trial of the Grand Crusader (10 player)' -- -- -> incorrect return value from GetComparisonStatistic()/GetStatistic() -- -- -> check workaround in BossStatistic() -- -- This is a bug in WoW Client 3.3.0.11159! -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- CharScanner will never ever save scanned data to SavedVariables. -- -- - Most data will change everyday, 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_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()! -- -- - 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! -- -- ...ok, never say never ;)...-- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- - slash commands: /cs - /scan - /charscanner -- -- example: /scan : CharScanner GUI & SINGLESCAN -- -- example: /scan options : CharScanner Options -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --   more screenshots: http://www.wowace.com/addons/charscanner/images/ Download: http://www.wowace.com/addons/charscanner/files/ Enjoy! kunda Last edited by kunda; 3 Weeks Ago at 12:05 AM.

- 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.
