CensusPlus 3.5 Released

[Rollie]

This release updates the TOC number to the current version. It also adds a couple of new features and does a better job at alleviating end of census lag.

Get it here:

Here's the new version changelog:

3.5 - 08/29/2006 - Update
- Updated TOC for patch 1.12
- New commands:
/census take - allows you to start a census via command line
/census stop - allows you to stop a census via command line
- Added a right click menu to the mini-map button to allow you to do common census functions like Take, Stop, and Pause
- Added a player list feature that will show you the list of players for currently selected filters in the display. This list is capped at 1000 players.
- Modified the locale detection to hopefully clear up locale issues
- Added battleground wait time collection information which will soon start being reflected on the site
- Removed the restriction on taking census snapshots while in battlegrounds
- Made efforts to removing the lag created when a census finishes. You will likely still see the lag if you have the Census window open when a census completes, but if it is closed, there should be no noticable lag.
- Added a confirmation box on purge to make sure that is what you want to do.

I am not forcing an update to 3.5 yet and will continue to accept 3.4 submissions for the time being.

Please let me know if you come across any problems.

And just after I finally updated to 3.4... you give us 3.5.

But love the new features offered in it.

Will load it up soon.

Thanks

Hey

do we have to purge our old results before we upgrade or isn't that needed?

Greetings

I ran 3.4 and grabbed the data, upgraded to new version and uploaded it. It uploaded fine and tagged it as 3.4.

The following upload was tagged 3.5 so it will upload the data on which ever version it grabbed it from regardless of the collection.

******
Still need to track down if it is Census or not, but I get small pauses when it runs, like when it's running the filters on the counts. I need to check it on another system first to make sure, but something to look at.

However the save process is A LOT better.

Just upgraded last night. Can I say THANK YOU FOR THE SLASH COMMAND! It makes it so easy when I log on to realms that I'm only there for censuses. I have 3 macros for all of those toons:

/afk Some random babble about how I'm on a secret mission or something and you won't get a response from me ('Cause I get annoying tells all the time, maybe if they see the <AFK> I'll get less, and I have)
/census+ verbose ('Cause I like to see the status on my census realms, but not on the realms that I actually play)
/census+ take (Used to be /census+ open and I'd have to click on the Take button, but I don't have to any more! YAY!!!)

I haven't seen any other issues with it, and I haven't noticed any processing lag, so that must be a good thing. If I don't notice it, it must not be enough to notice. Let's see what happens when I'm in MC tonight. lol

Rollie,
Did we get a 'confirm' button on the Purge option?

[Rollie]

Oh, yes! Forgot to add that to the changelog!

[Bleets]

Sweetness, thanks mate

Of I found 2 bugs (ok perhaps 1 bug and one kind of annoying thing )

Now when Census finish the query to the server sometimes in the end opens the Who Window ?!

And today for the 1st the 1st time I saw a bug, Census was doing a census when I was in AV, then the BG WHILE census still was querying the server, after the loading to UC, I received an error "Interface\AddOns\CensusPlus\CensusPlus.lua:1921: table index is nill"

[ntex]

Now another error when I reentered in AV I thin Census was blocked 'cos of the last eror:

Unfortunately by mistake I click the msgbox so I can't say an exact match, but it was something regarding CensusProfiler

[Rollie]

Strange error. The line where indicated has some modifications on my end as I"ll have an updated version shortly that includes a few more updates, as well as Spanish support.

[ntex]

[Rollie]

Yes, common names have caused some headaches and at this time are still a limitation to the system. I am going to spend some time on this one very soon to hopefully eliminate the issue altogether.

i keep getting this mes every time i try to up load
File appears to be valid, checking your version number.

Checking your file

I was unable to determine what version of CensusPlus you are using. The latest version is 3.5. Please download the latest version and rerun CensusPlus. Your data will not be accepted unless submitted using the latest version of CensusPlus. You can get the latest version here : i just pu tin 3,5

[Rollie]

When I submit data it says that it was unable to determine the version I am using. I know I have the latest version, what's wrong?
99.9% of the time it is due to uploading the wrong file. You want to be sure you are uploading the file located at

/World of Warcraft/WTF/Accounts/####/SavedVariables/CensusPlus.lua

and not the file located at:

/World of Warcraft/WTF/Accounts/####/SavedVariables/CensusPlus/CensusPlus.lua.

Also, be sure you have exited the game before you attempt to upload.
