I'm experimenting with a custom wotlk 3.3.5a server based on the, at the time, latest version of ArcEmu.
The idea so far is to have a character with both Mana, Energy and Rage.
Mana and energy regenerates flawlessly. Rage Generates aswell. (The extra powerbars you can see on the attatched picture, is a modification of the Druid shapeshift extra bars, and they also work perfectly.)

So, I have two questions to anybody experienced with the ArcEmu source or likewise:

1. How do I get rage to degenerate?
 Here's my current code on Rage degeneration, and I can't see anything wrong with it. Perhaps a fresh set of eyes could spot flaws in my poor programming skills..

In "Unit.cpp" under the "void Unit::Update(uint32 p_time)" function:
  if(p_time >= m_R_degenTimer)
TO< Player* >(this)->DegenerateRage();
else
m_R_degenTimer -= static_cast<uint16>(p_time);
In "Player.cpp"
 void Player::DegenerateRage()
// Handles the Rage Degeneration and sends info further on to LooseRage.
{
if(!isAlive()) // Don't do anything if the player is dead
return; // just skip it all.

m_R_degenTimer = 1500; // Set the Rage Degen Timer just in case.
if(!CombatStatus.IsInCombat())
{
if(HasAura(12296))
LooseRage(20);
else
LooseRage(30);
}
else
{
if(HasAura(12296))
{
m_R_degenTimer = 1500;
TO< Player* >(this)->LooseRage(-10);
}
}
}
void Player::LooseRage(uint32 decayValue)
// Further handles the Degeneration of Rage.
{
uint32 cur = GetPower(POWER_TYPE_RAGE);
uint32 newrage = ((int)cur <= decayValue) ? 0 : cur - decayValue;
if( cur <= decayValue )
newrage = 0;
else
newrage = cur - decayValue;
if(newrage > 1000)
newrage = 1000;
SetPower(POWER_TYPE_RAGE, newrage);
}


2. How do I enable combopoints for classes other than Rogue and Druid?
I have no idea where this code is located... -.-

Anybody has any ideas?
Thanks, cheers! =D

Hi!
I'd like to re-map the controls of wow to get more of an "FPS"-feeling but I'm having some problems with this. This might be a little long since the material in the Spoiler is basically a log of my investigation around this. I have a mouselook-macro there that I find useful. Read if you are interrested, otherwise you can just scroll pass it.

[spoiler:yjrvu1eq]So...By opening the keybinding options in-game, one would notice a few of the basic bindings missing.
The missing binding in context is the right mousebutton which activates a "mouselook", or attacks/loots if something close is targeted.
The function bound to the second mouse button is called "TURNORACTION".

As I said earlier, this function is not present for custom keybing via the Keybindings-menu. In addition, it is not present in the file: "..//World of Warcraft//WTF//Account//accountname//bindings-cache.WTF".
This binding can be added to "binings-cache.WTF" and the line for it would be:
bind BUTTON2 TURNORACTION(This way, one can map the function from BUTTON2 to a different key if that is of interrest.)

However, by default, the TURNORACTION function is off untill the right mousebutton, or BUTTON2, is pressed. Without the button being pressed, the "mouselook" function is inactive, which means that by moving the mouse, I'm moving the cursor on the screen.
I would rather have it the other way around, so that "mouselook" is active by default, and only while holding down a modifyer like SHIFT or something, the cursor becomes active.

I'd like to switch place between the states of "default mouse-function" and the TURNORACTION function. The problem is, I do not know how to do this. There probably isn't a function to bind, equavilent of this "default mouse-function", sice TURNORACTION is only active while the button is pressed down, hence, the function deactivates and reverts back to "default mouse-function" once the right mouse button is released.


At: http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_API - I stumbeled upon a few WoW API functions of interrest.
Take a look at theese:

IsMouselooking() - Returns 1 if mouselook is currently active, nil otherwise.
MouselookStart() - Enters mouse look mode; mouse movement is used to adjust movement/facing direction.
MouselookStop() - Exits mouse look mode; mouse movement is used to move the mouse cursor.

I tested theese API's simply by creating a macro in wow that consisted of the following:
/run if IsMouselooking() then MouselookStop() else MouselookStart() endBy activating this macro, I found the somewhat desired effect: Wow in mouselook mode, independent of holding the activator (BUTTON2) pressed down. In other words, the macro toggles Mouselook on/off.

//////////////////////////// NOTE ON MACRO ////////////////////////////
If you found the previous macro interresting, try this instead:
Create a Macro, call it "Mouselook" without the ".
/script SetBindingMacro("SHIFT-BUTTON2","Mouselook");
/run if IsMouselooking() then MouselookStop() else MouselookStart() endThis macro sets shift+right mousebutton to toggle mouselook on/off, however you will be unable to interract with things, like looting, attacking, talking to npc's etc while holding the shift-key. If you wish to use this, then you will need to click this macro once, only once and then no more. Do this: You can drag your newly created "Mouselook" macro out to your actionbar, click it, right click anywhere (to get out of mouselook mode), and then remove it from your actionbar (you won't need it there anymore since it's bound to trigger by holding shift and clicking the right mousebutton).
I use this when playing on the real, blizzard WoW servers.

Anyway, so far so good.[/spoiler:yjrvu1eq]


Again, at: http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_API - I stumbeled upon a few WoW API functions of interrest.
Take a look at theese:
IsMouselooking() - Returns 1 if mouselook is currently active, nil otherwise.
MouselookStart() - Enters mouse look mode; mouse movement is used to adjust movement/facing direction.
MouselookStop() - Exits mouse look mode; mouse movement is used to move the mouse cursor.

I seriously don't want to use a macro for this function, just for the sake of it being a macro.
I suppose that "MouselookStart()" can be set to launch via "..//World of Warcraft//WTF//config.WTF", though, haven't tested that yet. Because, theoretically, there's probably a CVar related to this API somewhere to set mouselook to be activated by default when loading wow.

Anyway, to My Question :
How can I have Mouselook always ON by default, but by useing a modifyer like holding SHIFT or CTRL to disable mouselook, thus enabeling the cursor for interaction? I'm not looking for a "toggle"-solution, in fact, I'd like to have an "OnKeyDown"-kinda function for this.

Hi everyone!
  I'm pretty new to this forum. I joined a few days ago. I figure it's about time to introduce myself. At the most, I've only retextured some random stuff earlier. I've been doing this for Wow on and off for a while now because I enjoy the process of destucturizing, "investigating" and creating something new. Picture the kid who disassembled his Nintendo 8-bit console in attempt to understand how it works and then you've got an idea of what sort of a person I am. I like playing games, but I enjoy the thought of participating in the creation of a game about ten times more.

  That aside, I view myself as somewhat artistic. I enjoy drawing concept-art aswell as modeling and texturing. I compose music and have my fair share of musicial education to back me up. Writing is also a passion of mine. I plan to take courses in creative writing in the spring of 2012. Other than that, I am a visionairy, or a dreamer.

  How can I be of service? Although I aim to be, I'm not much of a programmer, not at all really, so I can't do much for you in that area. At least not yet. I have a limited knowledge in serverside and clientside modding and the tools arround that subject. But if you need some help with designing textures, an oppinion on modeldesign, help with layout, storyforming or if you want a composed musical piece, I'd be very glad to contribute to the community.

See you arround.

Hi!
I'm trying to edit some character models and I have a few questions on this.
 The absolute hardest thing to come by is a converter for the M2 files.
 
That said, I mean I have only found very few that works.
 Most of them are unspecific in what Wow-version is required and most of them just doesn't work. (At least with the character models)
 
I have tried a tool calles just "ModelInjector", which, due to poor description from the author or releaser, after some detective-testing around with different wow-versions, appears to work with M2 models from the 2.4.3 client. This tool gives me a Nightmare of geosets jammed stuck all over the model, and it's a pain in the @$$ to use.
 
Currently, I'm using TP's HiResModelTool 3.5, trying to edit models for the 3.2.2a client.
 This is the only option I have found that makes the different geosets "hideable" in model editing softwares.
 
I'm going to describe my current modeling process with a little depth, but if you want to cut straight to the case then please scroll down to the ### markings.
 
What I do is I disable all options in the TP HiResModelTool to get a clean obj-convertion to work with in 3ds max 2010, edit the model, export to obj and convert back to M2 with the TP HiResTool.
 My issue is that this doesn't work about 90% of the times.
 
Often, I edit the model-OBJ in 3ds and I can't inject it in the M2 with the HiResModelTool.
 It either freezes upon reading verticles from the obj, or tells me that the OBJ and the M2 differs in numbers of verticles.. in other words, the injection fails and the operation is canceled. (Note: I don't add verticles to the model, it's just bullshit from TP HiResModelTool)
 As when trying to edit the Tauren Male Model, I end up with a funky OBJ-file with random verticles going everywhere in a 3ds chaos. In theese cases, the freshly M2-converted OBJ file cannot get converted back to M2, because the file is messed up.
 
###
 My question is this: What tools are the absolute best ones to use when editing the character models for WoW???
 If theese tools demand a different version of Wow than my current 3.2.2a, then which version should I have to make model-editing to actually work??
 
PLEASE, help me with this!!
