Addons...

[pimpa]

What I love about the addons feature is that, for those who complain about the game now have their chance to make a small difference to change some of the problems or to make them not as big of a problem, the LUA language is very simple to understand and there was a very nice post by one of the admins already to help you get started, I still dont see any addons posted in here which means that you all must be satisfied with the content already in the game OR you are too lazy to try and help out a little, failing those 2 categories i can also conclude that your a tard :p

have a nice day!

add-ons can't in anyway come close to fixing any bug's or game play mechanics that fail best they can do is make some mundane things easier

examples would be
threat meters
bags add-on ( makes all bags appear in one "giant" bag
and so on

there is not one thing you can fix or do anything with the problems that are in game

The addons update hasn't hit yet, it was only announced so far. I planned to tinker around with it some, but like most people i'm counting on cops own boy genius DeathStalker because while i might have fun making addons his will probably be the best by far just from what i've seen already.

I'm sure their are many things addons will enable users to fix as you've suggested, we'll just have to wait and see what all that entails as people begin to come up with these addons. I'm definitly looking forward too it all.

Oh really lol, i thought it had been released... guess that shows how little i log in to cop these days :P

Still, even if they dont fix current problems you can have fun messing around with your addons to see what you can do with them to make the game less boring, this is what kept me playing outwar for such a long time, finding ways to cheat the system maybe not in such a harmful way but in a way that made me have to do absolutely nothing lol :)

ADD-ONS CANNOT FIX ANYTHING they can only be used to change your user interface

ADD-ONS CANNOT FIX ANYTHING they can only be used to change your user interface

Change the interface.. or FIX the interface? We'll also see hotkeys, new battlebars, sidebars, spell macros.. you can call those changes, or like some of us call those FIXES.

I have a addon installed right now that fixed a few things. Has nothing to do with my interface. Thanks.

????? did i miss something????

and i would like to hear what it "fixed"

I made an "addon" before the announcement was even made..At the moment, only a few people have it. I'm not gonna release it to anyone else until the next patch so I can do things properly w/ .lua and because it can be a bit 'abused.' So... yeah, Vigor was one of the ppl whom I gave the addon to

And actually, my addon did fix a bug. Awhile ago, it was impossible to camp out of the game even while out of combat, however, with a few changes I made it work again :P but then the admins fixed it the next day so it was kinda pointless lol

Search around the forums for a post of mine that has a pic. of what my addon looks like

[monaro]

DS, ill pay you 1500 pts to make me an addon like on wow, that detects enemies nearby.

Don't forget the ability to ZOOOM out farther from your character.. some people might consider that a 'FIX' lol.. i wouldn't but it certainly is nice. One thing it is not however is something related to the interface, and it was not a user interface change. <-- slozon

[pimpa]

What sucks about making addons for cop is that zoning times are like 15-30 seconds depending on your pc so testing them as you make them will be a pure pain in the ass lol

EDIT: Lol shows how well i read the addons reference guide... first line of code says how to reload scripts whilst in game :P my bad...

ZOMG. First do you know how hard that will be to do? Second. do you know how awesome that would be if someoen could create that. And Third, well I dont have a third but oh well.
Point is, is that having that kind of addon would be sooooo helpful.

[TechnoDestructo]

that's retarded... wtf has wow done to the mmorpg... a 'radar' is an accepted add-on? screw casual gamers!

What did that have anything to do with a radar. I was talking about the Punks addon, just a little box that shows an enemy when they are near you. Says: Name - Level - Class. Something simple, no need to have another hissy fit.

[TechnoDestructo]

hissy fit? hardly...

i just think an add-on on like that is retarded? get it?

essentially it's like a radar or what we called radar which was considered a hack and the hack got you banned from the game.

in the CASUAL gaming world of wow and rom, it's an 'add-on'... please... stupid

[monaro]

How is it a radar? A RADAR is a map that shows you WHERE something is, this is a simple addon that shows that an enemy's presence has been detected somewhere around you, but its up to you to find it. I just think it would help the pvp aspect in CoP, seeing as though the numbers are rapidly decreasing atm.

dude you take it to literal... you should understand that not all terms in these games are the literal meaning considering you're such an expert now that you've played wow....

Now get this. There is no stealth classes in this game, the idea that wow has that while there is stealth classes is absolutely ridicules in my opinion. None the less, a 'make this game easier for me' add-on like that is not necessary what so ever. I can think of 100 more acceptable add-ons than the 'hey im slash grinding mobs, if i had this add-on i would know when not to pull' add-on.

It breaks elements of the game like surprise or getting the jump on someone in PvP... you honestly suck that much that you need a heads up first???

QQ MOAR?

if you don't like the add-on don't use it no need to go all nerdrage and QQ about it

[Vigor]

I wouldn't mind seeing something along the lines of a auto target addon so when you got attacked you auto targeted a player/mob that put you in atk mode. Would help me alot.

[TechnoDestructo]

rofl! you spit out insults I brought to cop lol I would use qq and nerdrage and people would have no idea what I was saying... now a few of you quitters run to wow and come back like you're the shit. besides, there was no rage, i was making fun of your crappy wow add-ons that do nothing but nerf real player skill. if you need the game to be that easy, why play at all

im just saying, cop doesnt need to be any more easy-mode than it already is... if it was, may as well be wow

[monaro]

Actually, i believe that rogues do not show on the punks addon, or druids etc. I'm not sure, i deleted the addon because the other lot of it was too chunky, but i believe characters didnt show up if they were in stealth modes.

[DeathStalker908]

lol you get into too many arguments techno

Anyways, I think radars lame if they also display characters..in RoM, they show party members and the terrain/buildings that are within a certain radius of you..which is fine, since ROM has a crapload of excess space which can be confusing to newcomers. But CoP's zones are midget-like compared to RoM, and are therefore the radars are not really needed lol

Having a focus-bar, like a window that would have names of people around you that you can select by clicking their name, would be a bit better. So its like you select someone (tab most likely), press a key, and that person is taken into account + is added to that focus bar.. It would help ALOT in grp PvP since the fight can totally just depend on killing a single person (healer for example), and when a combination of lag + a large amount of player is created, you're gonna have trouble selecting the person you wanna select lol. /t *name* doesnt always work...typos ftl :(

now that i could agree on becuase having a focus bar would be good in being able to click on the person without clicking on the wrong person lol. As for the "radar" or enemy neraby locator, you have to be kidding me. just play the game as it is, if your that good then you really shouldnt need it lol besides, suprise and losing ever so often is just part of the game.

[TechnoDestructo]

Ugh... why not some helpful add-ons to fix things that suck? Like the group Window is rough to use as a healer... how about someone makes an add-on like WoW's "Grid" or WAR's "Squard".

Ahh and since nobody ever assists in this game, a nice assist add-on would do wonders for the game play in CoP.

Not sure if i'd be able to alter the current UIs..but i might find a way around it. And btw, I do use the assist key sometimes, but it does kinda suck since it assists twice for me (if the person im selecting is selecting something else) ..what type of addon for assistance are you thinking of?

[TechnoDestructo]

what type of addon for assistance are you thinking of?

Hmm perhaps something simple like WAR's 'Calling'. Every player can call for assist on his/her current target. Thus, you do not have to pre-determine an assist leader.

Create two hot keys... Call and Target

'Call' hot key when pressed, all members of the group get an onscreen message with the most vital information about the call. (Perhaps name of player/mob and % of health)

Other members in the group hit their 'Target' hot key which will select the last target called.

Why not? as long as they take cloaks out of pts store, coze they will b pointless, n pay all of us who wasted pts on them.
personnaly me its 1750 pts wasted in cloaks. rampid , plz give them back if ur considering adding that or allowing that addon to b added.

I dont see with what will this addon help, you will have button that makes you focus on target name that someone else called?
