Updates from Azeroth

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I’ve been playing more WoW again lately – running Heroics with my new Guild, and getting some loot.
I’ve also been working on my Warlock, who’d previously been stuck in Nagrand for several months.
I just got her to 70 last night, thanks to an Heirloom item and the acompanying +10% Experience bonus :)
Also, I picked up 2 of the Drake Mounts on Vaire in the last couple of days: the Bronze Drake from Heroic Culling of Stratholme, and the Red one from getting Exalted with the Wyrmrest Accord!
I’m just waiting for the Green Proto-drake to hatch out of an egg… someday.

Upcoming wow-armory Release

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

If you’ve been looking at my Sidebar, you might notice a few differences in what I have displayed vs what is in the actual release… this is because I’m working a pretty major update to the wow-armory Plugin – which I hope to have ready shortly after my Contest ends.

Many of the upcoming changes are directly from suggestions or requests submitted by the people who use the plugin – I try very hard to accomadate all of my users, so if there’s anything that you would like to see changed, or if you want to use the plugin but see something that doesn’t look like it would work quite right, let me know! I can do anything*!

I hope you are all looking forward to this release! Also, I’m looking for some vict- er, volunteers to Beta Test this next release (and possibly future releases). If you like to live dangerously, drop me a comment or send me a message!

* The Author cannot actually do anything – just type code with some level of competence to make it seem that way.

See a list of changes after the cut.

wow-armory Page Update

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Well, I lost the original page, including all of the comments D: *facepalm* but I replaced it with an updated, more informative version.
Take a look!
In other news, I did not post a Monster this week because I was working on this new version, but I plan to have a new one next week, plus the next installment of my D&D Special sometime this week!

wow-armory Plugin 4.0 Update

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I updated the wow-armory plugin to version 4.0
This version fixes a few minor issues, as well as adds an option to display your character IN 3D!
Currently, the options to change your character’s features (like face, skin color, etc) are a little clunky, and you’ll have to play with it to get it the way you want, but I’m working on an update to make it easier (if I can pull it off).

As always, please direct any questions or comments to the wow-guild Plugin Page. Thanks!

wow-guild Plugin v1.5 Update

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Sorry it took so long to get this fixed, the problem was entirely my fault, but it was sort of hidden out of the way.
Anyway, this plugin now correctly works with Realms that have apostrophes in the name.

As always, please direct any questions or comments to the wow-guild Plugin Page. Thanks!
