Change Log:
--------------------
v1.03
====
* When not shown, was still triggering the 'move' script
* Moved some local lists as causing memory usage to rapidly climb. Gets caught in garbage collection but would be a worry for players micro-managing computer performance.
* Localised almost everything. Achieved a large cpu performance boost.
* Fixed bug with moving Hard Yards too far from the centre of the screen
* Changing Talents now no longer gets positions, colours etc muddled
v1.02
====
* Sometimes during a first time use of Hard Yards there is a long delay before the WoW server recognises we are trying to move the Hard Yards frame. Mysterious. Suspect that it is because the frame hot spot is right on top of our toon. Default position is now offset right and down a bit, clear of our toon. Seems to help.
* Sometimes Hard Yards seemed to forget the last place to which it was moved. Mysterious. To work around this I (1) removed some dead code left over from a copy/paste from one of my other AddOns, (2) explicitly (rather than assuming the default) link the relative position of the Hard Yards frame to the main game window, (3) the previous fix now forces an explicit default location rather than assuming 0,0.
* A better calculation of the 'hot' region dimensions for enabling moving. Benefits really small text sizes.
* Corrected the Class Specialization English language lookup table
* Now handles players with no specialisation (i.e. sub level 10 and any player who has unlearnt or not yet learnt one)
* We Dont Wipe AddOn support
* Show/Hide & on/off options properly differentiated and fixed
* Small change to help/about panels
v1.01
====
Sloppy naming of a variable borrowed from another of my AddOns caused fatal runtime error.
Description:
--------------------
Description
Display the distance to your target.
Why Yards are so Hard to Calculate
A limitation for players is the inability to accurately measure a distance. The best you can hope for is a range of values. Hard Yards is the most accurate at estimating distance and does so for a full range of target types.
Features
* Best possible range estimation to a target
* Variety of target types supported
* Moveable
* Resizable
* Choice of borders
* Text colours are up to you
How To Use
After entering the world, type '/hy opt' in chat to bring up the options panel. Hard Yards is ready 'as is' but you might like to change the border or alter the text colours.
How To Move Hard Yards
First check the Options Panel to ensure that HY is not locked in place. Now place your mouse over the centre area (doesn't have to be the exact centre). Left click, hold down and move, lift up when done. Finished!
If You Like Hard Yards
You might also like to check Taraezor's Cool Aid AddOn, the essential aid to managing your cooldowns! Taraezor's main AddOn is We Don't Wipe, an excellent DPS enhancer. WDW has a huge update on the way which you will surely want to check out.
