DPSMate - Closed Beta
Starting today the closed beta of DPSMate will start. I will give out
98 licenses for this addon until the closed beta closes.
Judging by the name "beta" it may cause some issues that need to be reported and troubleshooted. Also new suggestions could come up for future features. A list of future features can be found at the first post of this topic.
So, what are those licenses about, you may ask:
I have been working on this addon since 8 months now, which means that I spend a lot of time developing that addon to bring it to its current state. Therefore I have introduced a license system in order to distribute it to people that don't bother to invest some gold.
There are two options:
- Guild option: The price is 50 licenses (10000g). It allows everyone being in the guild to use the addon
- Char option: The price is 200g. It allows only the desired character to use the addon.
This system will be permanent and so will be the licenses purchased in the beta phase. Also the beta will be the only time for this addon being available for gold.
Selling addons is that legit?
I talked to Jeniczek and he confirmed it to be legal.
How am I able to get a version?: (Currently only support for english clients)
Send an mail with the title "WTB DPSMate - <YOUR NAME>" to Shino (Alliance) on Kronos I.
Make sure to spell your character name correctly. I will check if this char exists on armory and if it doesn't, I will send back the gold. Even though I will
not change it afterwards again.I will send back an mail with the link to download the addon. You have to save the link somewhere since you have to reuse it in order to download newer versions. I will announce in this thread whenever a new version is available.
!! If you don't feel safe about this method, you can also contact me in this forum via PM !!
I will update this thread frequently in order to keep you up to date, how many licenses are still available or if I updated the addon. When I updated the addon, just reuse the download link I gave you.
Cool, I got the addon now, do I have to configure something?:
- If you had a version prior to 1 for some reason, delete DPSMate.lua and DPSMate.lua.bak in this directory: WTF/Account/YOURACCNAME/Kronos/YOURCHARNAME/SavedVariables/
- Increase your addon memory in your addon tab of your character screen to at least 150 mb. You can find the number in the upper right corner of the tab.
- Disable SW_Stats since both addons eat a lot of resources
.
If you encounter any other major problem then feel free to PM me in this forum. Together we will solve the problem.
I found a bug, what do I have to do?
Please report the bug in the
Bugtracker please
.
- Describe what happend
- Where did it happen
- When did it happen
- How did it happen (if you know how to reproduce it)
- And the error message it was reporting to you.
I have an suggestions for an future feature!:
Thats cool, then feel free to write it into this thread and I will add it to the list when I feel that this is a solid addition.
Or put it into the
Bugtracker as enhancement.
Misc:
The realmplayer support may delay longer. Dilatazu (the creator of realmplayers) does not want to support DPSMate due to security reasons for his system. A working version of the data collecting addon does exist, however Dilatazu decided for himself that he does not want to support DPSMate and I will respect it.
Also there will be a little secret bonus release with the public release of DPSMate
cheers
