SkillUp

About SkillUp:
SkillUp replaces the default message recieved when a skill increases. The Blizzard UI uses the format "Your skill in [skill] has increased to [value]." SkillUp creates a new line in the format "Your skill in [skill] has increased to [value] out of [maxvalue]."

SkillUp options can be edited using the provided GUI. Type /skillup to access it.

SkillUp Extensions:
SkillUp now supports extension addons. Three examples are included with this release: SkillUp+Ding, SkillUp+MaxLineColor, and SkillUp+UCase (all three are disabled by default -- you must go enable them if you want to use them).

SkillUp+Ding plays a sound when you max out one of your skills.

SkillUp+MaxLineColor colors an entire skill message when the skill is maxed (rather than just the normal skill name and current skill value).

SkillUp+UCase makes the skill name display in all upper case. See the bottom of the SkillUp\SkillUp.lua file as well as the example extensions for more information on how to implement your own addons to extend SkillUp.

Version 3.0 Stability/Testing:
The current release is a beta version. Part of the new features implemented in this version have an incomplete GUI. There may be bugs in this release. If you would like the latest stable version, release 2.2 is available under Archived heading above.

This release has not been tested on the 3.3 PTR to confirm compatibility (but I don't expect it will break with the upcoming patch).

Change Log - SkillUp

3.0 beta
- *** THIS IS A BETA RELEASE *** Patch notes listed below may not be 100% implemented or bug-free
- Added profile settings (GUI for this specifically isn't done -- see post in Comments for a way around it and discovered bugs)
- Saved variables switched to account rather than per character (any existing settings were reset)
- Changed the way the command line is parsed (should be no difference to the player)
- Added two hookable functions: one before SkillUp generates its output message and one after it generates the message but before it is displayed
- Updated GUI to have an option to reset settings to defaults
- Added confirmation prompt before settings are reset to default
- Updated TOC for 3.2

- Added a few more localization variables that should have been used before
- Added alternate "gradient" coloring mode

Thank you.

There is not currently an option to do it in game, but the method to change it in the file hasn't change. Edit line 68 (in 3.0 beta) to remove "out" from the string.

Alternatively, you could write an extension addon to remove "out" from the final message (some sample code below). It may be overkill in this case, but it would let you not have to worry about editing any future versions you may install.

Code:

local originalSkillUpPostHookFunc = SkillUp.PostHook
function SkillUp.PostHook(self, suppress, msg)
	suppress, msg = originalSkillUpPostHookFunc(self, suppress, msg)
	msg = string.gsub(msg, " out ", " ")
	return suppress, msg
end

Thank you.

I've been slacking so much.

Right now I believe everything is done except the GUI for a feature added.. and it's been that way basically since I made my last post here. I'm not really fond of doing GUI layouts for addons (earlier versions of this addon were delayed or released without the GUI because I really didn't want to do it).

I really should go finish it though... maybe tonight I'll work on it, or at the very least toss up a "beta" release.

--

Edit: Version 3.0 is uploaded in a beta state. It's basically missing the GUI for its profile settings. You can use /skillup profile use ProfileName to change which profile your character is using** and /skillup profile copy ProfileName to copy another profile's settings to your current profile. Since I haven't finished it 100%, I haven't done complete testing and therefore cannot guarantee it is bug free.

** Bug discovered here. Some of the code for that is loaded in the GUI, which isn't loaded till you try to show the options ( /skillup ), which means if you attempt to change your profile before showing the options, you will likely generate an error. Furthermore, the prompt that shows when you attempt to switch to a profile that doesn't exist does not go away when you click yes, but it does function. After clicking Yes, click No to hide the dialog.

Thank you!

Archippus' change should be available under the "optional files" for SkillUp (think he called it "SkillUp + Ding").

Note, however, that it's based off older code, so you won't get the latest features/fixes.

That means it's time to switch to rotate to a new weapon.

[edit] Never mind. I played around with it and figured out how to add a "ding" noise when current == max. That's all I wanted, and it works just fine :-) [/edit]
