Ideas: Process Guild-Tab, Passive Scans & Cross-Realm up
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 1:09 am
Since a lot can happen while you are not online or while CP isn't actively scanning, I have a few ideas to improve scanning a bit..
- Process Guild-Tab:
When you log on a toon, for the first time "today", CP should open Guild-Tab (including offline members) and scan all members. Any people in the LUA-file but not in guild must logically have left the guild and thus should have guild-name stripped in LUA-file. This will help updates, when e.g. someone delete a toon or move it off server.
People in Guild-Tab but not in LUA (or in LUA with different guild) will logically have joined since you last scanned and needs to be updated too.
- Passive Scan:
"<Name> have joined the guild", "<Name> have left the guild" and when someone says "Ding" in /G should force an update of person in question, even if CP is not actively running, to catch when e.g. someone that joins/leaves the guild on multible toons after each other or someone that gains a level and log off before next active scan.
- Cross-Realm update:
Currently, when in a BG, CP can't scan. But, how about if CP could "scan" the people in the BG, then we could get, if nothing else, a few updates for other servers. Cross-Realm 5man pugs could do the same.
All the info needed is there: Name, guild, server, level, class, race..
