New in GearScore 3.1.18 (Oct 14, 2010)

  • This is just a quick fix while 4.0.x is still in development.
  • GearScore is now in teh stats pane.
  • Disabled Hit and Defense check, the stats pane will currently not be very accurate.
  • Fixed a few bugs with This/Self

New in GearScore 3.1.17 (Jun 28, 2010)

  • Fixed a bug where you would see a target's equipment on mouseover instead of the intended player.
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn't see the Helm, Neck, Shoulders, and Back equipment of a player in the GS window.
  • Fixed a bug where "/gs " would not work when the XP or Options frames were visible.
  • Fixed a similar bug when targeting a player with the options window open.
  • On the GS Window, GearScore will now display as "Raw GearScore".
  • I am still finding a large number of players who dont know about the /gs screen. I have added a message on the tooltip informing them of the /gs option. You can disable this message by visiting the options and unchecking the box.
  • THe new Show Help/Tips option will also enable/disable a few additional tooltips.
  • The Minimum Level option for the Database will now correctly set.
  • GearScore will no longer automatically update on mouseover. You must target a player to capture a new updated Score. While mousing over a player you will see a "*" next to the word "GearScore" to remind you that the info may be out of date.
  • Upgraded the DATE tooltip system. The tooltip will now show when the player was last scanned in the format "*Scanned X min/hour/days ago.".
  • The Date tooltip system is now on by default.
  • The Date tooltip system can now be turned on/off in the options menu.
  • New API for the Date system. For addon authors who use GearScore. You can now call: GearScore_GetAge(ScanDate) - ScanDate should be the timestamp the player was scanned on. Timestamp is in teh format of YYYYMMDDHHMM. Example: "December 28, 2010 at 12:45pm" is 200812281245.
  • This function returns: Message, Red, Green, Blue, Quantity, Scale. Message is the message shown on the tooltip such as "*Scanned 8 hours ago". Red, Green, and Blue return the color code for that message. Quantity is the amount of difference. For the previous example of 8 hours, Quantity would be returned as 8. Scale lets you know what the 8 represents. It will be either "minutes", "hours", "days", or "months".
  • Most functions of GearScore are disabled while in combat to prevent any lag or unwanted effects. I have decided to enable a function that requires manual operation to work.
  • If you're using the /gs window and target another player then the window will update for that player even if your in combat. However the addon will not inspect to request new information if your in combat. Mostly this will allow players to check gear/stats/expereince on a raid member while clearing trash.
  • Added Halion 10/25 to MISC group of the EXP tab.

New in GearScore 3.1.16 (Jun 5, 2010)

  • A few bug fixes.
  • The main change on this one is that the "Spec-Scores" on the main tab of the gs-inspection window are now scaled directly with the original gearscore. So if your GS is 5000, and you only have 90% GS then your GS for that spec will be 4500. So make sure you /gs the person to find their true GS. You an read more about this on www.gearscoreaddon.com.
