API - Threat Situatuation

[JAYMC]

Blizz has brought in the functions about the threat in patch 3.x.
Yeah its true, that you can math the threat out, but its just calculated and i think, its group/raid general, not mob-based calculated in KTM.

My idea now:
Is there any possible way to enhance the blizz api without client-patches?
I think on the way of an internal channel like addons do.

API - UnitDetailedThreatSituation (reference)


btw: there is a spoiler tag missing.

100% possible but too many players to handle the API calls I think.

On my old TBC server we had a .debugthreat command that displayed in the chat our real threat on the target and we used this command to debug the whole threat mecanism thanks to Omen and Dtm, but it was heavy load sometimes and we were not 7K+

Possible ofc, in fact, as Athene mentioned, mangos has such functionality built in for debugging. All you would need is to define new API and have a way to interact with it from client side + create addon that uses this API.

Unlikely to happen though, since there are many other things that need fixing

[JAYMC]

The old MaNGOS-svn is down. Has any1 an actually repo of it?

[zerf]

Why you need old mangos svn? cmangos.net

I'm out of the scene since about 6-7 years

This server is derived from Mangos Zero (not cmangos)

https://github.com/mangoszero

CMangos is not a mangos version, but fork of original codebase (versions zero, one, and so on) due to drama that occured a while ago. Nobody commits to mangos repo anymore, cmangos is where it's at (regardless if you originally forked from mangos or cmangos).

I never said anything about versions. Mangos Zero was also not the original codebase from which CMangos was derived. They have separate development paths and separate issues with respect to bugs.

I know, but read that discussion. JAYMC was not aware people have moved to cmangos, his question has nothing to do with actual version this server is using (on top of that, it might have been changed so much that it wouldn't matter anyway).

Back to original discussion ... I see another problem with this, having correct threat meter is not "blizzlike" (which might be a problem, since it seems there won't be any character related services available that were not part of the game back then, for example race change).
