Added a deprecated.lua to ease migration to 4.2 function name changes.
Subtarget clickery now supported for casting spells.
Merged part of CastParty.Event.OnClick and CastBuff
Now properly handles the blizzard selfAutoCast "feature" by temproarily disabling it when we cast a spell.

CastParty 4.2 (beta 1)

20 Sept 06 (Nathan Robinson, Paul Bilnoski)

Added namespaces to castparty. This means functions and variables used by CastParty are no longer all in the global scope. This helps prevent unwanted garbage collection and modularizes the code much better. Mods that directly call or hook CastParty should pay special attention to this and test their integration
Added "brains" so each character class has a module of code to ease maintainability
Added support for TrinketCast mod.
ApplyBandage checks its threshold against the target to be healed and does not heal if the target health is above the threshold.

You MUST click on the body to rez if the player has released their ghost. This has been changed in 1.12. No more clicking on their unit frame or their ghost.
Added feedback to remind you that you MUST click on the body, and not the ghost.
Rez will now ONLY override with HEAL spells. If you cast PW:F, etc. it just won't do anything!
Fixed a bug preventing druid rez.
Added CT_Mod targetoftarget click override support.
Fixed some battlefield heal bugs. (Note: only works with left click, and if they are not currently targeted)
Added anc. and inspiration for shaman to show on filtered buffs list.

CastParty 4.1

9/13/06 (Nathan Robinson)

NOTE: MESSAGING ONLY WORKS WHILE IN COMBAT!!! This is because it's just too easy to SPAM!! and while in combat (or they are dead) is (generally) the only time you want to message them.

Fixed CORE:healomatic:1052 bug (commented out line)

Added CastParty_UseEquipmentByName(_itemName, _unit) :) now you can use equipment in a macro. :)

Added nil function checks for hideparty, showparty, target and player hooks, because some mods break them.

WEIRD problem with SpellStopTargeting() erasing _spell_being_cast. most unusual thing ever.
Fixed combo points on Blizz target
Added the ability of the parser to better parse the regrowth spell

Fixed bug with castping specified spells

Fixed serious issue with spells with no rank in the parser being stored as Spell() instead of Spell.

Fixed GUI:281 nil problem...

Fixed rezzing now works perfectly. if it doesn't, just move the mouse over them again... sometimes the gametooltip is a tad buggy...

Added debugging buttons (and profiler) now in the advanced tab.

EzDismount is tinkered with add slipstreamed into castparty. see the general tab to configure it.

Added using druidbar

Fixed: i broke the custom clickery with the blizz frames in RC2. fixed in RC3

Fixed: buggy crap with emergency in combat. extracted the method, rewrote it... much better.

Added support for druidbar (for mana info while in another form), so if you try to cast a heal in a form, it will still work.

Added profiler now to record how long events take, and how much memory they take.

Added raid icons now bindable to keys for your target (no more right click menu nonsense!)

Fixed rebuffing with Buff-O-Matic was goofy. fixed now.

Fixed CastPartyFramedDisplay.lua:927. (was an error concerning buff placement.) - still goofy with diseases? I got a disease with innerfire expired (while watched) and they overlapped.

Fixed shaman's will not see magic debuff auras on their groupmates now.

Fixed rez sick buff not showing properly

Fixed weird healing bug fixed

Fixed holy shock moved to paladin.

Fixed problems with druids rezzing.

Fixed comms:258 index nil

Added battlefield heals.. HELL YEA! You can now (if you enable battlefield heals) click on a unit on the battlefield and hold a mouse button down, and heal them! If you try to "heal" an enemy unit, it will cure instead! sexy!!

It should now work (for cureany) to choose the correct spell. i.e. CD if there is one disease, AD if there are two diseases. (removed)

Fixed all oddities with the messaging system... :)

Fixed: if you have the advanced option to prevent overheals turned on, then when you have the force max ranks turned on, it doesn't force max ranks

Added Blizz TargetofTarget frame now has clickery.

Added CT_RA MT and MT clickery! full CT_RA support now!

Added full nurfed frames support. :)

Fixed added minion to the list of possibilities a unit can be in a group in UnitInGroup(). (TODO: I need to localize this.)

Fixed bug with raid target icons.

Added Toggle max rank heal keybinding added.

Fixed text inside the tooltip box has the spaces omitted in third line.

add spell_choice_threshold to overheal_protection code (like it should)

optimize bandage code

added holy shock to the list of spells that heal for a shammy.

Additional (hopeful) fix for weird filtering buffs errors.

Fixed CORE:comms:275 index nil error.

sigh... another fix for the shammies.

Fixed CORE:castparty:364 unknown unit name 79??

aura filtering greatly increased speed

shaman's purge now should work.

tinkered more with the party leader update code. it should be LOTS faster now (i removed some loops...)

-note- Not possible to have clickery on the default raid UI buffs/debuffs.

custom on click now works with CT Mod as well.

if Subtarget is not visible, then SubSubtarget is not visible.

castparty no longer gets stuck on heals.

obscure bug with the heals still setting off at lvl 1

Fixed CORE:CastPartyComms:275 attempted to concatenate field `?' (nil value)

party/player frames not properly showing/hiding when you log in with them disabled

duplicate updates when changing an option in the config GUI

paladin blessing of protection/salvation not casting. i think....

force max heal by ctrl + clicking on the minimap button. (it will start to flash red.) this will cast the maximum rank of a selected spell. i.e. if a lesser heal is chosen, then it will cast the MAX rank of lesser heal.

Castparty.lua:223 bad argument #2 to `tonumber` (base out of range) (hopefully... i added more checks.)

comm channel now uses (some) less data

sub SUB target. See your party members target's target now!!!

tinkered with the party mouseover tooltips so they are so freaking wide. I like the new change.

fixed the lag. :) The party leader update code now runs slightly DELAYED by one second because I put in a update limiter, because it only needs to get opdated AT MOST once per second (instead of 100's of times a second, which was happening in large raid groups.)

innerfire is working FINE for me and for members in my party.

failover for comm. messaging now goes in this order. RAID->PARTY->WHISPER. it only goes down the list if you specify one, then it will move down the list.

added frame limiter to the party leader update code, so that it will ONLY run once per second.

removed spam (sometimes would spam "player", or others when changing options or other things happen)

raid AND party members can now have the leader icon showing...

raid target icon support to the CastParty frames... :) it's sooo cool!

add custom click functionality to the Blizz aura icons. (player, target, and party debuffs)

Fixed healomatic : 496 : Curegroup member i nil thing.

UnitInParty is really #$#@$ things up. I had to redo that function...

Fixed GUI:frameEvents:450 : GameTooltip:SetScale error

health/mana bars are now greyed out if the target is tapped by another player (the status frame is also turned red...)

Fixed healomatic:498 - index nil (had to do with bandages...)

auras are now updated once every .25 seconds instead of 6 billion times per second...

tooltip resizing issues

changed how buffs were cast (to solve issues with pallies.)

subtarget click event now reuses the click event code (slightly modified now...)

it will now intelligently (sorta.. still working on it) properly cast the right cure/abolish disease depending on how many debuffs you have stacked it is going to also work for multiple things you can cure, but i haven't done that part yet.

updated error text in case a spell isn't properly loading, you can now manually check to see if it is loaded or not.

added function CastParty_Print_Spells() this lists all the spells that castparty can see.

issues with the food icon showing in the incorrect place

fixed weird CP player frame display issues

changed where the .lua files are loaded (now in the .toc file)

weird CP pet frame display issues

changed how the res. startup works. if you try to heal someone (and they are dead), it should now work for ALL healing spells.

target tap stuff

pvp update events not properly working. event in 1.11 had changed...

fixed French localization some (German is up-to-date, french is not...)

CastPartyConfig.shield_if_critical (allow you to turn off auto shield when health is critically low)

Removed- ctrl+alt+shift and click for reloadUI() - @#$@ blizzard!

as a part of the recent patch, you can bind the mouse up/down to things, like.. spell cancel.

the buff watcher ALSO turns the border of the buff green. It does not add a "+" to innerfire when watched.

Spirit of Redemption added to operate the same as inner focus.

Party member mouseover tooltips now show the correct information. (silly tooltip!)

Fixed GUI:frameEvents:459:nil errors

Fixed situation where "Unknown unit name: <Real player name>" was a typo.

added nurfed frames support (just the hooks)

removed hot_key_style (serial/parallel)

local vars abstracted

CastParty 4.0

4/25/06 (Nathan Robinson)

Healomatic current as of 1.55

add an icon, and when we (are listening in the custom chat channel) "see" that someone else is healing/rez/etc display the appropriate ICON next to the frame that they are performing this action on. The icon will fade out after the heal ends.

will not add debuffs/buffs that can't not be determined to have a name. this is to prevent some errors...

typo from action item 1461779

attempted fix for CastPartyFrameDisplay.lua:574 errors.

subTarget frame minimum width is fixed.

Add pally blessing of protection to ApplyShield (should be working)

subtarget change should work for target frame too now...

tooltip instantiation for 1.10 is correct now. (fixes numerous errors relating to parsing info from the tooltip)

warning pops up, saying that... "Shield detected... healing unit instead!" in the middle of the screen, so you will have feedback when that happens...

Added Dotherightthing suggestion from the forums.

possible fix for issues with lag while in a raid...

tooltip issues with healomatic

re-added wowdefaultclick functionality. (for some reason.. it was removed?) also... CANNOT use this to rez... must cast a general heal to do that.

error with healing icon and other frames (CT_RA, etc).

372 error in GUI:frameevents

updated healomatic to latest version

updated globals to latest version

CastPartyGlobals.lua:446 fixed...

attempted fix to correct the goofy aura problems.

tweaked the shield detection stuff.

it was possible to call some code before it was created.. ResetDisplay(), CastParty_GUI_Init()

food/drink/mortal strike/innervate/mounts always display as auras...

added resting info to your char's tooltip. (Unit frame replacement complete!)

for globals:461. It should work now....

no longer overriding blizzards "hide party frame in a raid" thing...

fixed problem with vars not saving. (crappy nil stuff that evaded my earlier searches!!)

retarget code is now centralized, so every function has the same behavior. must have attack on assist to continue attacking after an action, for any action that targets another player and does something. This will work for anything that is instant cast (will not work with any spells that are channeled.)

Fixed paladin greater blessings

totems for shammies! (language free!! eventually.. i'll be doing this to all of them. hurrah for easy translations that work every time!)

modification to allow for faster load times while in a raid.

removed some stale code

overheal protection will ONLY kick in for efficient heals now. (to fix a bug with inner focus, and eventually with Spirit of Red.)

fixed bug with displaying party while in a raid

fixed bug (removed...) with dropdowns on subtarget frame.

added more error checking in healomatic

if cancel-o-matic doesn't have a targeted spell (ie... from not using CP to cast the spell) it will assume it's the target.

add the rest of the shaman totems to the list.

fixed the retargeting code - bugged it when I optimized it... :/

frameStrata stuff

works properly with latest mobinfo2 (2.81) now

can no longer call the [invalid] mobhealth.lua file

fixed the retarget_oldtarget function.

checked and fixed bugs associated with enter/leave world events.

changed spell loading order, refactored var name to be more clear. (to speed up loading times in instances)

blizzUI party UI raid-hiding/showing bug... (NOTE: ONLY works for the blizz UI. you MUST manually turn on/off the CP frames if you want them on/off...)

case now for update group indicator and master/leader flags, to ONLY fire on IDs that could be affected by them, instead of ALL IDs...

the group memory thing (to speed up group updates by only updating new people, instead of everyone) will no longer abort update if someone happened to change ids while in the group.

implemented changes suggested by skeeve (author of mob-info2) for the mob-health tracking code.
- max health also working...
- no longer loading the modinfo2 init code... :)

target tap code function calles tweaked

manatide totem buff

removed localAuras table for the display code for auras. it has drastically reduced memory usage (and hoping for large improvements in large raids)

option to turn on/off common buffs (mounts, food, drink)

fixed pet display code. The pets (in group memory) are not added/subtracted... and therefore, do not utilize the group memory, hence, the addition/subtraction of pets is NOT optimized. I'm counting on the fact that there aren't many pets in raids.... :/

raidgroup notifier display fixed.

when i hide castparty for raids and then try to bring it back up after the raid i have to do a /console reloadui to get it to come up

added the ability to load the French localization now. now i just need someone to translate it!!

added error checking to the spell loader, so if you try to cast a spell you are supposed to, and the spell isn't present in the spell loader, it will tell you now.

not attacking again, if i cast a spell, and was previously attacking.

updated German localization for added functions.

(in healomatic) Adjusted health now set to 0, instead of nil, reducing possible errors.

added holy shock to list of spells that can heal friendly/dmg enemies.

first aid debuff can now be shown (show_common_buffs) and the mortal strike debuff is now under (show_common_buffs)

removed some healing_strength stale code. tweaked behavior, more memory efficient (and tweak healing_bouns as well) healomatic and options

streamlined OnUpdate code, so now, there is one global CP_current_time var, and i access that. this way, there are no local vars being created EVERY time there is an update. This lessened the increase of ram by .1KB/s and after i apply this change everywhere else..i expect even better improvements, and GC will not have to run as frequently.

CastParty 3

CastParty 3.9

3/15/06 (Nathan Robinson, Zodeus)

-NOTE- This is an emergency update, as there was a few significant bugs overlooked in 3.8.

Added a minimap icon, fancy-like, that you can move it around the minimap by just click/drag, instead of some dumb slider... ctrl+alt+shift+click reloads ui!

group memory now works like it should

flow up modified for new behavior.

now there is a castparty player frame. the regular castparty frame is now just the party.

custom click behavior dropdowns now displaying properly again.

add all shield types to be visible (i.e. not filtered for a priest or paladin)...

GUI:GUI:533 nil on frame.

bug with people leaving/joining groups..

overheal protection will not cancel group heals now.

incorrect tooltip information for spell messages.

CastParty 3.8

3/13/06 (Nathan Robinson, Zodeus)

-NOTE- Healomatic current as of 1.53

-NOTE- raidGUI freaking HUGE! (temporarily removed monitor abilities....) made raidGUI MUCH smaller. So... PLEASE disable RaidGUI. It will do nothing but suck down system resources....

-NOTE- as a result of getting ready for 1.10, you MUST bind a key and push it, in order for spell cancellation to work.

bug with player buffs being off by one when in a raid. This was a result of blizz's "optimization" in 1.9

CTRA MT Targets Target problem (now correctly does what it should....)

bug with updating party members...

bug fix with bonusscanner.

tooltips were buggered by fix below...

fix for more stuff for 1.10

fix for CTRA stuff..

bug with castparty not displaying when you disable it, log out, log in, then try to re-enable it.

typo with the healthbar for the sub target.

messaging issues (with raid/party)

fixed bug with click-casting on the sub-target. subtarget now behaves like every other clickable frame...

goofy returning to target when your orig target is neutral.

tinkered with tooltip text

Removed heal cancel time - in 1.10 you must manually do this now...

added a group memory, so that it will not try to update people that haven't changed...

possible fix for some of the memory leaks

possible fix for GUI:FrameEvents:447:nil value

behavior of mouseover tooltips for targetframe (always on now)

small bugs with sub target placement and behavior

Error in CORE:comms:161, approximate text of error "index local 'spell' - nil"

overheal protection now checks the health deficit, instead of the max-health. this is more inline with how the behavior should operate. This is to allow for pre-shielding, and pre-renewing.

Added sub-target (target/target) frame. (right click on someone to allow the display of their target)

group indicator position tweak.

possible nil reference @ GUI:CastPartyGui:168

new code for state checker.

new function, CastParty_PrintStates() will print the states of the last unit checked.

typo in change log...

use BonusScanner addon to scan for +healing.

changed spell cancelling to conform with the 1.10 patch. (now bound to a key...)

bug with filtering ills.

Binding a key to the CastPartyOptions dialog, then pressing the key returns a nil error.

default location of CastParty frames, now middle of the screen...

will no longer send failure messages to people when not in combat.

will no longer send heal messages to people with low health when not in combat.

custom spell messages text. (was a typo...)

in whisper mode, interrupt messages such as "I've just been interrupted when healing XXX..." will replace "%playername%" with "you", but only for the US client.
- Reason deals with gender specific "you" in other languages.

nil on GUI:frameevents:447

nil on CORE:healomatic:275

CastPartyDebugLevel now saved.

CastParty 3.7

3/3/06 (Nathan Robinson, Zodeus)

-Healomatic current as of rev.1.46-

-NOTE- if you run out of mem, or run low (addon mem, that is...) the aura frames will get GOOFY!

This is easy to happen in raids, and with lots of other addons running! Also, strange behavior is also noticed with switching out of advanced spell selection into the normal spell selection mode in the middle of the raid for no apparent reason.

-NOTE- combatstats (packaged with CT_MOD) causes the esc to close functionality to barf... silly combatstats. i need to hack it up, and fix it...

-add- buffomatic and dotherightthing have "check range" too. if > 50, then don't buff/heal, and move on to the next guy in group.

another stupid pet bug fix.

click to debuff not working.

-add- add the debug level in advanced options.

bug with right-click to cancel buff.

what some would consider a bug with the combat indicators.

-change- need to moved aura filtering thing to display_aura (from update_aura). this will lessen the number of potentially big tables we use.

-fixed goofy bug with hunter auras.

goofy bug when entering world/reload UI, and pets.

nil error (concerning range logic) related to clicking on CT_RA (and others) frames.

-confirmed- CT_RA custom clicking works as expected.

-change- tweaked out Options GUI. nicer layout.

-change- mana conserve is really... overheal protection!

-update- readme.txt

target goofy when curing debuff and with first aid.

stupid hunter pet display bug. can't reproduce it, so i hope i squashed it this time... (more tinkering)

-add- tooltip placement mod thing, to prevent castparty tooltips from running off-screen.

custom clicks, other methods loaded by CORE when not using any other files. (also, other fixes related to this issue)

oddities with options (Pet Health Weight)

I did notice that after the Priest left the party and I added the hunter, the "remembered" buff for the priest showed up again for the hunter.

With messages set to player, I see messages for healing players and messages for healing pets. With messages set to party, I see messages for healing players but not for healing pets.

watched buffs (when red) are overwritted by debuffs... weird aura frame overlap with watched/debuffs

-add- gray out the target frame if someone else has "tapped" the target!

display issues with buffwatch and when you don't want to disapply the auras.

when to shield players advanced logic -- also affects advanced heal logic...

messaging players that are dead (party comm, etc..), when you manually res

click to debuff

group heal cancels on ya sometimes. (only when using a keybinding...)

-change- shield will ONLY be automatically applied if the unit is affected by combat AND they are in your party/raid restriction defined by blizz) when you are using the advanced logic for heals, and the health falls below the critical point. sneaky logic to get it to work right

-add- will always display the dead icon "debuff".

-add- won't add watched buffs to be displayed when you are dead

-add- set the tooltip to the spell details when you mouse over an expired, watched buff.

-add- keybinding to rebuff watched/expired buffs on everyone possible (does them one at a time, per key press, until there are no more watched buffs).

healomatic fix for spells with no rank.

-add- res messages when you manually res someone now.

-add- CastParty_EnterUnit() --only happens once per second now, instead of EVERY drawn frame... speed issues.

-abstraction- Raid GUI abstraced. There are now four parts to CastParty, with this being the fourth.
- CastPartyRaidGUI - loads the GUI used for the raid monitor frame

renew checking not checking. renew cannot stack... (with do the right thing..)

default auras to both be on the right.

-nobug- loose target when recasting buff (when buff watched...)

keybindings - apply efficient error
- ApplyHeal error
- "Do the right thing" error

passive buffs bug fix

various other bug fixes

with bonus scan, if there aren't any numbers at the END of the line, it looks for them at the START of the line.
- it should fix problems with the German localization, and the order in which the numbers appear.

-change- now auras only scan active instead of active AND passive.

healing now looks at the wand/ranged slot too. (other various fixes related to this)

-add- custom clicking now works with the blizz raidUI.

-add- add scaling to the options frame.

-add- raid monitor frame done. (right click a raid member for a menu, to add them to the monitor list - must have monitor list enabled.)

bug with hunters when clicking on pet happiness icon. now it opens the pet frame thing instead of disappearing.

-add- buffwatch (limit is just 8 buffs)
- ctrl+click a buff to add/remove
- watched buffs have a "+" on the icon, so you know it's being watched.
- when the watched buff expires, it will turn red, (and it's alpha will be .75) also, there is no mouseover tooltip for it.. if you click on the icon, it will recast that buff, then change back to a normal icon. The red icons will always show up at the beginning of the buff list, so they will be first.

bug with Z:Updated DoTheRightThing to include +healing as well fix.

bug with Z:Fixed rare bug that would sometimes cancel non-healing spells fix.

-change- change in how pet happiness works. this is to make the icon display of the pet happiness faster, AND now has the framework for the watched auras!

-add- guild name to tooltip text

-fix:Z- Fixed rare bug that would sometimes cancel non-healing spells

-fix:Z- Updated DoTheRightThing to include +healing as well

-add- CastParty_Panic (for druids and shamans => nature's swiftness + Heal. - as suggested by renbear, other classes are just emergency heal)

messaging channel stuff

-add- added bunches o' options into the control panel.

-add- level coloring in the unit frames now.

-add- name coloring in the unit frames now.

-change- redid XML for options frame, so now it makes sense. Also, TONS easier to create/add now.

-add- Name coloring and more when you mouse over the castparty unit frame.

-add- Now has combo points on the target frame.

-change- CastParty is now modular. There are three parts.
- CastPartyCore - provides all the functionality of castparty for all frames, with healomatic
- CastPartyGUI - provides the minimalistic GUI part of castparty
- CastPartyOptions - provides for the options control panel.

the GUI and Options modules are now Load on demand, meaning, that the particular functionality they provide will only be loaded into memory IF you want it. This happens on the fly.

-Castparty is even lighter now. Uses barely 420k of ram. With ALL modules used, it takes a little bit more...

-moved- UpdateAuras is now a part of Healomatic, to reduce duplicate code.
- Various functions in Healomatic now scan using the result of UpdateAuras instead of rescanning the auras all over again. This just scans them once.

-change- changed values (from stable release) for determining what rank heal to use (in globals).

Fixed pet id for DoTheRightThing (was 46, now 45)

-Z:fix- Fix for ZG +healing enchants

-Z:fix- Optimized bonus reader to increase its speed, for people that change items frequently

-Z:add- Added new event to help auto update healing bonus when equipment is changed.

-Z:add- Variable amount of +healing has now been accounted for, but is dependent on spell type, and cast time(prior to talents)

-Z:fix- Fixed problem with greater heal, by adding a nil check for missing buff_level data

-change- intelligent config now. if you don't have a specific var, it will only fix that one var, indstead of reset ALL of them

-change- add check to health/mana/etc. changing bar color, so that it's brightness will always high.
- this is to prevent a dark bar, which is difficult to see.

-done- healomatic should use auras table , instead of redoing ALL of this scanning process when an action occurs this is so that OUR code will be SUPER FAST in the CheckStates function...

CastParty 3.6

2/15/06 (Nathan Robinson)

-- memory issue bug with long playtime and many players...- auras get goofy... switching to event dispatcher.

-- castparty is a much lighter mod now. about 4x faster/lighter than before. it's still got a ways to go on the optimizations, but it's a vast improvement over what it was. .4secs to load time VS 1.3secs, and 4.8mb VS ~15mb memory.

party member frame updates (intelligent now too, so it doesn't try to do everyone. really a big deal if your in a raid)

display bug with hunter pets (also fixed the issues when having the frames flow up...)

range update stuff

-add- pet happiness icon is now displayed with the rest of the auras. it is always the first aura shown.

used 3.2 release code for dealing with party leader and master looter icons.

fixed goofiness when targeting yourself, and the normal target frame is hidden.

after looting, castparty target frame doesn't disappear. but only when clicking on the [x] to close the loot window.

-change- pretty much removed raid frames. Have frames for the Raid Monitor, but those are added differently now. (via right click menu...)

fix show hots problems

when changing text/healthBG/manaBG errors

power word: fortitude doesn't cast the right level spell on target frame. Too low a lvl PW:F (magically works now)

error :53 with comms.

healomatic error with cure_any

random UNIT_PET errors for unknown pets.

-locale change-
- CASTPARTY_TOOLTIP2 - CASTPARTY_TOOLTIP11;
- CASTPARTY_TOOLTIP202;
- CASTPARTY_TOOLTIP204;
- CASTPARTY_HEALINGBONUSENCHANTS;
- CASTPARTY_HEALINGBONUS;
- CASTPARTY_DAMAGEBONUS;
- CASTPARTY_HEALINGBONUSALL

-change- target mob info stuff (huge on the memory) is now dependent on MobInfo2. If you don't have MobInfo2 installed then you won't be able to get mob info. If you have MobInfo2 then you can. This is disjoint from the display status of the Blizzard display frame.

CastParty 3.5

2/11/06 (Nathan Robinson)

-add- auras on ONLY the target frame will now arrange themselves into a 2x8 grid if they exceed 8 auras. (instead of 1x16, etc..)

-add- party leader/master looter icon to target

-add- added +healing for enchants

-add- +healing/damage calculations occur every 3 seconds while the options frame is open

-attempt fix- for the healomatic issues. (changed _ills to fakeUnit.ills)

partymember display on reloadui.

flow_up behavior

tweaked keybinding dropdown to set to none if you have set the other dialog/spell to be nothing.

-add- all spells are now accessible via blah.auras, even the ones not displayed.

CastParty 3.4

2/10/06 (Nathan Robinson)

Lost track on this one...

CastParty 3.3

2/9/06 (Nathan Robinson)

-add- add esc to close functionality to GUI and kb GUI

-add- added toggle (stop_autocast), so you can choose to auto-cancel auto-casting if you attempt to cast a spell while wanding, shooting, etc.
-add- added all of the relevant v3.2 bug fixes.
fixed several typos not fixed in v3.2 (in healomatic)
fixed display error for party member frames
fixed range/ping display thing. (OnUpdate fix too)

CastParty 3.1

CastParty 3.1.r27

2/5/2006 (Nathan Robinson)

r26 -change- player name length truncate changed to 13, changed format some.
r26 -add- automatically calculate +damage items. (just for convience. not actually used anywhere)
r26 * huge bug fix affecting CP options (frame size, colors, etc..)
r26 -add- range finding option to turn on/off
r26 -add- combat status icon.
r26 -change- the flag icons now have static placement (this removed a lot of for loops that would occur on every flag icon change).
r27 - timer added to the combat icon, so if someone isn't in combat for 5 seconds, it will disappear (as they have supposedly left combat) (not completely accurate)
r27 - added function 'note' so you can debug faster. i.e. note("some silly message") will output to the default_chat_frame
r27 - went from PlayerFrame.onHateList -> UnitAffectingCombat("player")
r27 -refactored from '_config' to 'CastPartyConfig'
r27 (maybe... not noticed anymore) -bug- STILL goofiness with aura textures/id's really annoying. DON'T know WHY this is happening!!!! ARRRGGG! happens when i play for a really long time. maybe to do with table sizes and garbage collection?
r27 -fixed-bug- mouseover on aura on target don't work? Only sometimes?
----do these, and the complete replacement to regular frames is complete!
- -todo- make target frame taller? so name can fit with other data?
- r27 -todo- need to show elite/rare status on target frame if target is elite.
- r27 -todo- add flags to the target frame (easy for partyleader and pvp status. no clue on lootmaster)
- r27 -todo- debuff stack thing - when multiple debuffs on target, they stack with a little number.
  - i need to get the target frame working first for this to be what we want.
r27 -fixed-bug- auras can sometimes have the wrong texture? annoying. need to change display behavior make it the same way blizz does it. i think this is fixed in 1.9? (I haven't noticed this bug anymore....)
r27 -fixed-bug- pvp flag gets set wrong sometimes
r27 -done- RAID!!! (still working on setting up subgroups. Right now, everyone just displays in order they were added to the raid. code is sorta there to fix this, but still incomplete.

CastParty 3.1.r25

1/19/2006 (Nathan Robinson)

r25 * display bug with mouse over on unit auras.
r25 -change- red border only if unit is ghost (so you know right away if you can click res)
r25 -change- limit in names upped to 12 letters
r25 * forgot to change out some textures. doh! it's fixed now.
r25 * when selecting/deselecting the show CP target checkbox, the CP target frame didn't properly behave. Now it does.

CastParty 3.1.r24

1/17/2006 (Nathan Robinson)

r24: you will have to reset the mod (in the CP general tab) or weird stuff will happen
r24: implement ALL 3.1 changes (except for the flag display stuff. IMO mine is better/faster.)
r24 -add- you know automatically calculate +healing items (when you load, and whenever you /cp)
r24 * fixed bug with the target name configuration
r24 -readd- redid flow_up for those that want it. It operates a _tiny_ bit different now.
r24 -add- pet status bar will now flash if your pet is not happy
- normal : pet is happy
- yellow : pet is ok
- red : pet is unhappy
r24 -change- UI error strings are now taken from the official blizz localization file, and ie... not just made up anymore.
r24 -add- range indication... WOOOOT!
- normal status bar color : they are close by..
- green status bar color : they used to be close by...
- yellow status bar color : they showed up in the combat log OR they used to be close by... (kinda not really sure where they are)
- red status bar color : they died or disconn, or you really have no idea where they are...
r24 -change- changed all 1/nil to true/false. I didn't have any weirdness, but that doesn't mean it should have ben 1/nil or pretty much anything/nil. nil is baaaad.
r24 * fixed dropdown menu for the target frame
r24 -change- CastParty_RGBtoRGB function and associated color graphs. It now works like it should meaning that the numbers now go from 0-1, instead of some weird, weird crap.
r24 * odd behaviour when you recast/dispel buff on a player, it would automatically target that player (you have to have a unit targeted to perform an action, but it wouldn't go back to your previous target, or nothing - if that were the case.) this is now fixed.
r24 -added- you can now completely hide the blizz player frame and the target frame (and use CP's instead)

-NOTE- The CP frames do not show as much information as the regular ones... yet...

r24 -added- option to turn on/off target frame and/or blizz target frame
r24 -added- you can now specify if you want to show/hide the target frame.
r24 -added- there are little circles to click on to drag the castparty frames around.
r24 -added- if a party member is disconnected/offline, it will now be reflected in castparty
r24 -added ability to not show target frame (and removed hooks/function calls)
r24 -energy bar colors should be fixed (full/empty)
r24 * if you only want the click customization but not the frames, you usually check "hide CastParty". Unfortunately the click customization doesn't work until you show CP and then hide it again - after each login/reloadui.
r24 * regular frames not hiding in instances.
r24 * pet bars? goofy overlap. also petbars don't disappear when players (besides the one with the pet) leave. i.e. there can be multiple pet bars with the same name.
r24 * changing the auras orientation is now buggered. (the pets work like they should now...)
r24 -add- have tooltips constantly update on mouseover (Like with time remaining on buffs)
r24 -add- -need to be able to shorten the name of the target, so the name doesn't extend beyond the frames. (in Comms)

CastParty 2

CastParty 2.8

CastParty 2.8.r23

1/4/2006 (Nathan Robinson)

r23 -change- removed _LOCALIZED from all parameters. I think it was obvious that it's localized, hence the purpose of it being in the localized.lua file.
r23 -update- for 1.9
r23 -change- changed the default keybinding behavior so that it will load class specific settings. This was done to accommodate those who want defaults loaded PER CLASS, and not have to reconfigure them everytime a new char is made.
r23 -bugfix- shield detection actually works now.
r23 -bugfix- there were still problems with the 1072 error. Also, with the new official 2.8, there are problems if you specify the spell. (i.e. specify 'Heal' and there is and error trying to find the rank. The efficient heal should also be fixed.) it is fixed now.
r23 * fixed the 'focus' bar color to be the same as the blizz 'focus' bar color.
r23 -change- placed CastParty_PartyDropDown into FrameEvents (was in Healomatic.)
r23 -bug fix- implemetation of official release 2.8
r23 -added- mob health to target frame.
r23 -added- TARGET FRAME!!!! woot!!! raid support is so close I can TOUCH it! make sure to unlock castparty frames to relocate the target frame.
r23 -change- after review removed XML drag frame. it was redundant and pointless.
r23 -added/bug fix- added events when a unit's max health, mana, energy, etc changes, the change will now properly be reflected on the unit bars.
r22 -bug fix- error on custom click with default frames. should work now.
r20 -bug fix- other mouse buttons on target frame now work
r20 -relocate- put debug back into config file (was in debug file)
r20 -change- on update PvP, if it's triggered by a change in a unit, then it will only trigger once, instead of for EVERYONE... (speed issues) when the party members are changed, then it will do it for everyone.

CastParty 2.8.3

1/1/2006 (Nathan Robinson)

-added- if you are autocasting (i.e. shooting a wand, gun, bow, etc...) then if you try to cast a spell, it will now interrupt autocasting, so you can cast your spell, instead of wonder what the f is going on. You will have to cast your spell twice in a row for it to work. Once to cancel/interrupt the autocasting, the second time to cast your spell. This cannot be changed, as blizz won't let you perform two actions with one hardware event.
-bug fix - if you right-click to cancel a buff, now it will only work for your buffs, and not cancel your buffs if you right-click someone else's.
-bug fix - when right-clicking spells (as above) castparty can sometimes cancel the wrong buffs. CastParty and Blizzard had a different order of buffs, causing big problems. This is now fixed. (old method still used for others, no problems with it from what I can tell)
-added- the target frame, player frame, and party frames now support castparty click methods. if you don't like the CP frames, now you don't even have to use them. the normal ones do the EXACT same thing. It's really cool.
-changed- the flow up check button is now used to control the click behavior for other mods or the default frames. default is off, but if you use mods that use CP click, set this to checked. The text and associated code have been changed
-changed- fixed the format of the files to comply with other devs request
-removed- no-EN localization files. they are out of sync and no good.

CastParty 2.8.2

12/27/2005 (Nathan Robinson)

bug fix for displaying flags (pvp, partyleader, lootmaster) many typos and other random bug fixes. more tweaks for pet support and display also removed support for the ability to "flow up" it was buggy, and i didn't want to try to fix it. The option will be used in the future for displaying target/target stuff. (maybe...) added rightclick to remove buff, and click to cure debuff

CastParty 2.8.0

12/24/2005 (Nathan Robinson)

refactored variables
changed accessor methods to variables
removed/compressed/cleaned ugly code with better techniques
added complete functionality (from what CastParty 1.9 was) into 2.8.
Fixed several 'compare with nil' errors.
Re-created options and keybindings to be more efficient.
Rewrote several functions properly and efficiently.
Removed dependency on PlayerConfig.lua (it's now used to 'pre-configure' options.)

QuickCast change log

QuickCast 1.06A

Changed the way spell data was updated, spell book should only reload now, when in zones with spell trainers, should help reduce any lag caused by coninuted reloading when switching weapons, changing forms(druid), opening spellbook, etc.
removed OnUpdate function, this function was called 40-50 times a second, to check for movement and time exprired for casting spells, regardless of what the player was doing. Only being useful about 1% of the time while in game.
removed instant casting from ChooseSpell, which required chaining of functions to detect movement. Also most players that would rather use ChooseSpell often only require rank selection. Instant spell selection is still supported in advanded heal. Functionality can be restored by binding QuickCast_ApplyInstant to a click binding, for those that do not wish to use Advanced Spell sequencing
removed all moving hook functions, movement detection was only used in one place. This should reduce the number of chained function calls which will increase overall preformace, and reduce possiable lag caused by QuickCast
Removed Spell Canceling from OnUpdate event, worked un-reliably in laggie situations, moved to UnitHealth updates, now is only check for if a unit's health changes, this should help reduce any lag that could be caused by continues checking of the spell time even when spells were not currently being casted by the player
Changed targeting, to restore targeting of last target, when both selected targets are friendly
fixed bug that tried to spam in the party chat when the player was not in a party
updated advanced spell logic for priest to skip casting shield if BOP is detected

moved advanced options from Healomatic.lua to player config

additional fixes to resurrections
updated toc for WoW 1.8

added 2 more error captures to the localization file, stunned, silenced
fixed a bug with UI_ERROR messages, Out of range, Silenced, stunned no line of sight
fixed a flaw in TestGroupHeal in healomatic, that would scan the entire raid including pets. Should now just scan the party

moved detection for natures swiftness to check player not the target
slight update to readme file
updated QuickCast.Toc
added QuickCastComms to QuickCast.xml for loading
moved chat chatter to its own file, QuickCastComms.lua
Updated large amounts of the localization file and moved 2 of the error captures to this file
Added additional overheal protection, this is controlled by the _conserve_mana statement in healomatic, if on, it will not allow the choice selector to pick a spell that will heal more then 1 spell rank beyond the target's max health (which can happen if spell choice threshold is set to high, and grouped with low levels)
moved keybindings to localization file
updated keybindings to include a broader choice, all keybindings work from the selected target
updated, comments throughout the various files. So anyone helping will understand the current directions I'm heading in.
added Paladin's Blessing of Protection to the 'shield' category

QuickCast 1.00A (Branch started off 1.52 code)

removed all pet code, it was improperly added
included new healing functions
no longer supporting extremely buggy CastPartyOptions
spilt the files into major sub function files, for better maintainability
entirely reworked resurrection
entirely reworked bandages
removed all repeated functions and wrapper functions
added ApplyGroup heal finally
added features to save mana, or blow mana depending on the setting
impoved spell sequencing
added nature swiftness detection
rewrittin the entire spell logic selection, should be much better now ignor the comments in the file, they will be removed in the future and should not impead game play
removed code that supported locking the frames in place, did't work very well unless CastPartyOptions was loaded
removed various hide/show code, did not work reliably

They made the changes to combat Lag in some places. Not all the data

returning a nil. I could be wrong but I myself have only seen

the error once when people were joining the party not when

leaving." -- (Zodeus)

Briefly, the auto-group healing decision is made by comparing your most efficient

default), then the group heal is chosen. This feature is most useful for Priests.
