list of bad addons?

[navis]

Hi, I was wondering if some of the people smarter than me have done any work to see which addons are not recommended because of performance or instability issues?

Maybe we can start a list?


List of addons which need fixing!!! (*updated* /15 )
VPbreakdown - don't work with current VP system
RES - shows only "!" in the Addons list
Squared - don't update fast enough
Restell
HealGrid
WCST - don't work
Assist - don't switch the target ( maybe related to Assist in game feature not working ?) So I guess add this feature to "assist" addon + fix it ))
State of Realm
Dammaz Kron - don't track kills
RvRStats

some addon suggestions:

notify when assisting more like addon "res"... I don't think assist is working in any way atm so..
AM mech assist - suggest abilities depending on your High Magic/Tranquility
don't hit tanks - makes sure your cycle targeting don't acquire tanks
auto accept res + respawns - make sure you don't miss a ressurection
Tactic-sticky - save tactics (maybe like Goblin Closet?)

In case anybody is interested in fixing old addons (there are many) here is some ideas..

Res - indicates that there is issues (!) status

Targets - does not select enemy targets, does not update itself (work around cycle targets manually ctrl-tab)

RealmStatus- does not seem to work

VPBreakdown - does not update points

ZmailMod - does not handle mass mail properly

I know there are probably lots more but that is my list. Feel free to contribute.

LoyalPet is not currently working due to the Pet stances and spells not fully functioning.

I've been having some problems with State of Realms, it keeps reseting its location.

Actually RES seems to be working (besides the (!) status).

Have you tried CAVES? Doesn't work for me.

[navis]

doing some updates, post your bad addons here.. and suggestions for new ones.

Dammaz Kron doesnt track kills

CMap - shows (!), the only error I've met is the deamonic infestations are sometimes depicted by "mail symbols" in minimap

Enemy - unit frame often does not update HP, distance and debuffs / hexes properly; zone kills tracker is reset when zoning

GES - works with Luth's workaround, but target tracker is often "permanent" (ally is tracked even if it is no longer guarded)

pure - character status bar sometimes does not display proper HP (graphics seems to be working), character CR and RR values in the status bar are not updated (just via relog or /reloadui)

CleanUnitFrames - character status bar seems to be unmovable in layout editor

ResTell - works fine for me (maybe because of Enemy?)

\edit: CMap report added
\\edit: ResTell report added

All addons that worked on WAR 1.4.8 should basically function on a fully developed RoR server as well.
When an addon is not working atm, it is because of server features that are not implemented yet/not enough information send to the client.

So most of the addons can't be fixed, as they are not broken.

e.g. all assist addons won't work, when the assist function is not implemented on the server.

There are ofc some exceptions (when the RvR mechanics are different, 1.4.8 "RvR addons" probably don't work correct).

hmm strange.. detuant helper is no longer getting targets again.. It was working for me there for a short time..
