Performance concerns and a few quick questions

[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: Ah.. thanks for the clarification and apologies for "crying wolf" in that case :
[DevTeam] [Kaidenn]: PAZZA! i miss you.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Lol, it's funny how it takes spam message reports to get me to come back
[DevTeam] [sylvanaar]: Check out the beta tester forum. Need alpha testers and feedback so I can come up with a maintenance plan.
[Developer] [Pazza]: loaded some new spam prevention modules... lets see if this stops the bastards.
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Thought I'd check in and say Howdy Doody from Australia
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Yeah the spam from shoes salesmen was becoming insane
[Guest] [Delakando]: What ever happened to the ability to track friend's location by wim? Other then just showing their general zone location.
Zeke pokes his head around the corner.
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Anybody home?
[Guest] [Theillur]: I would like to know if it is just me.
[Guest] [Theillur]: http://www.wimaddon.com/forums/index.php/topic,1796.0.html
[Guest] [Nev]: I'm here
[Guest] [Nev]: I don't think anyone else is though
[Guest] [tomasio]: great site [url=http://freeonlinemusicvideos.net].[/url] [url=http://freepeopleclothing.org].[/url]
[Guest] [Theillur]: Nev it is not working for Zeke as well.

[Guest] [j3ff]: Hello. It is very quiet. I would love a response to my thread directly below your "Been very quiet" thread!
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Check out my new post in the Skins forum
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Posted a new download in the skins forum check it out
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Zeke, Maziel, Pazza, Nachonut, sylvanaar, Kaidenn, Astaldo where are you?
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: It would be a real shame if WIM was left to die.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: i think these forums are dead, Sylvanaar dosnt post on them as he only bug fixes when possible. WIMs future isnt very bright
[Guest] [justgiz]: Yea, its rather sad.
[Guest] [silvercola]: I wish it had skype
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: noy possible for a addon to do.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: ...........
[Guest] [elzershark]: where is the download file?
lothaer beckons everyone over to you.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: has anyone been able to take WIM to the beta yet?
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: PTR*
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: *sticks head up and looks around*
lothaer cries.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: who the hell flagged my post as spam?
[Guest] [primalforce]: Hey guys

I've been following this addon for quite some time and recently came back to WoW.

I am very glad to see tabbed messaging available now so I'd like to give this addon a shot. However, I've some questions first.

1) Performance? I run a Mac Pro with stock config (1GB RAM, 7300GT). I run Titan 3.0.7, Auctioneer Complete, Saeris' Lootlink, MapNotes, and Atlas/AtlasLoot. My average UI memory usage peaks at around 45MB. I average about 40 FPS in adverse all conditions (crowded, etc.). Should I expect WIM (2.x and beyond) to make performance take a hit? If so, how big/small? Is there a point that it crosses, from running well, to then taking a performance hit? (example: runs finewith no performance issues with 0-5 messages going but starts getting funky after 6 or more).

2) I really want to rip out the default chat UI/frame. Everything. Gone. I just want an addon to replace it ALL. A pane/tab for guild chat, a pane/tab for whispers (separated by perhaps sub-panes/tabs for guild members, party members, raid members, friends, and "everyone else"), a combat log pane/tab that can be hidden, and a party pane/tab and raid pane/tab. Perhaps the ability to create my own panes/tabs and sub-panes/tabs? Does your addon do anything close to this or reminiscent of these features? Is it intended to be a complete replacement for the default chat frame?

3) Any known issues with any major addons? Anything I can do in the default chat UI, etc. that I cannot do in WIM?


Thanks for your time in advance. I just want to do a full sweep of addons I am currently using and thought to give this one a try now that the tabbed stuff seems to be working well.

What can I say but try it and find out. lol

1. I too run wow on a MacBook Pro (but under windows bootcamp) and it works beautifully. I never really did a test to see how much memory WIM consumes or let alone process usage however I do believe WIM uses a couple megs of memory. Recently in order to reduce memory, WIM's options are now packaged as a load on demand addon therefore the extra ui and code needed wont be loaded unless you go to view wim's options.

2. There is no chat support for WIM, at this time, there is only whisper support. Perhaps in the future this will change.

3. WIM works with most major addons, any reports of problems with other addons that I receive I try to correct in a timely manner if possible.

Hope that covers everything.

Welcome back.
