Forums/Server Hacked

I can't confirm it, but it looks like the phpBB2 I used for the forums let some spammers into the server and they've been serving up spam the past few days. I'm trying my best to lock it down but I must admit that this is not my strong point. If I fail to lock it down I'll have to take the site offline for a day or two.

MonkeySpeed v3.0 Preview

A number of improvements are done for MonkeySpeed so far. You'll notice the MonkeyQuestLog resizer button is in. I plan to use that resizer in most of my main frames from now on. The resizer will disapear if you lock the frame.

The other major new interface item is the addition of the calibrate button. I want it to pop up if you enter a new zone without any data, or you can have it show as an option. As you may have already guessed, to calibrate a zone you'll just run at 100% and click the button.

Of course there are a lot of changes in the code itself that you'll never notice. The biggest change there is a greatly reduced code size making it easier to read and maintain.

It's not released yet, but only because the MonkeyMods 3.0 is not compatible with the old 2.x.

MonkeySpeed 3.0

MonkeyMods v2.5 for WoW v2.0.1

Hopefully this'll be the last update on the 2.x branch of MonkeyMods, I really need to focus more on the 3.0 branch. But don't worry, I'll fix bugs in 2.x if any more show up.

There are no new features, just bug fixes:

• MonkeyQuest: BhaldieInfoBar support is fixed


• MonkeyBuddy: Tab text now shows again


• MonkeySpeed: Width doesn't reset to 46 anymore


• MonkeyClock: Nothing new


• MonkeyQuestLog: Again, nothing new

Server Outage!

Ouch, seems every time toctastic.net gets a forum, the server goes down... Here's hoping it doesn't happen again.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

New Forums Are Up

When you start getting over 20 comments in your stories, it's time to get some forums.

Check out the forums and feel free to discuss all things MonkeyMods. I'm especially looking for MonkeyMods 3.0 suggestions so stop on by.

Quel Fixes MonkeySpeed (again)

I guess Quel must really love MonkeySpeed because he has fixed it again! The new version 2.4.4 in the download section should fix all the zone issues.

I must give props to Quel for fixing MonkeySpeed yet again. In fact, if it wasn't for Quel MonkeySpeed would have died long ago when Blizzard removed GetPlayerPosition().

Most of the zones will need to be recalibrated before MonkeySpeed displays the correct speed. While running at 100%, execute the slash command /mscalibrate. This will calibrate the current zone. Also, battlegrounds should work, but most instances will not.

WoW 2.0 and Burning Crusade

All MonkeyMods in the download page should work with the new WoW 2.0 and the Burning Crusade Beta. There should be no show stopper bugs, only minor issues. Here's a list of the top issues facing MonkeyMods on WoW 2.0:

• MonkeySpeed reports bad speed. Almost all zones need to be recalibrated. Use /mscalibrate while running at 100% in each new zone.


• MonkeyBuddy tabs are missing text. You'll have to play a guessing game and just click them till you find the one you want :)

And that's about it for issues. I won't be fixing minor issues any time soon, I'll be busy working on the new MonkeyMods 3.0 branch. I'm not ready to release details on any new features just yet, but I will say that the code is being almost completely re-written. Because of the massive code changes I'll have to wait until all the MonkeyMods 3.0 are finished before release.

Maybe just one detail... I'm getting rid of all slash commands.

MonkeyQuest Burning Crusade Quick Fix

Thanks to TigerHeart there is a quick fix availiable for the Burning Crusade edition of MonkeyQuest. You can now see quests again :)

Of course you can find it on the download page.
