Were the Ogrewatch cut markers always off from where they should be?

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Feb 18 2018 01:44

ogrewatch has been moved to where the markers are now

i guess the tiles haven't been updated

ChieftainAlex

@ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 01:45

oh right. derp

that makes more sense

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Feb 18 2018 01:46

i did some wvw the first time in months this week, came across ogrewatch, and i was like... wait... something is not from what i remember..

ChieftainAlex

@ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 01:47

well now I think about it, last time i was in there as a firebrand bubble we were stacking siege in the ogre territory to where the markers are

omg... i've been trying to figure out why the internal pointer of an object that implements enable_shared_from_this was empty for about half an hour now, and every shared_from_this was giving me a bad_weak_ptr...
turns out, i did this

class Addon : std::enable_shared_from_this<Addon> {

instead of

class Addon : public std::enable_shared_from_this<Addon> {

i haven't done any c++ recently, and i already forgot how inheritance works in c++ -_-

alright, i somehow got it working again, by dropping support for native d3d9 addons for now... i'm trying out to have dedicated addons for the loader first, and the example addon i have is working fine

@BoyC also, it's probably possible to create a taco proxy dll for it that just boots up taco and calls it a day; personally i would like that so i don't have to boot taco manually

I've spotted some events in the API.. flags indicate "dungeon_event" but the location is Domain of Vabbi (e.g. 1FB77B53-ED46-4EEF-9BE8-D487641D5410) new dungeons incoming?

assigned no name.

Is in the dungeons endpoint only the paths listed? Or can I somehow retrive more information about a dungeon?

ChieftainAlex

@ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 11:51

example of what else?

Enno G.

@SchoolGuy

Feb 18 2018 12:03

Dialogues & Events e.g.

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Feb 18 2018 12:21

Events? Probably, but those are most likely only in /v1/events.json or whatever that endpoint is called. Dialogues? No.

been trying to figure out why this lookup wasn't working for 15 minutes, assuming it was a type problem..

... lookup was working perfectly, i just wasn't using the result. at all.

@ChieftainAlex less time than what i spent on finding out that i needed to add a public keyword... :joy:

but hey, such is a programmer's life

musing over whether I'm going to waste my time doing WvW locator maps for the wiki

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Feb 18 2018 13:23

locator maps?

ChieftainAlex

@ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 13:24

like https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Arca_Lake_locator.svg

but for wvw areas

I really thought I'd done these before but somehow i haven't

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Feb 18 2018 13:24

ohh

these things are nice whenever i need to know where a specific area is :P

i guess that's where the name comes from

ChieftainAlex

@ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 13:29

did smiley say a while back that the ingame map was stretched to something like 124% of the api tile size?

ChieftainAlex

@ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 13:54

117%.

darthmaim

@darthmaim

Feb 18 2018 13:54

the ingame map also has a higher resolution than what you can get from the api

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Feb 18 2018 14:57

finally, i found a way to override gw2's cursor >_>

it's kinda annoying when gw2 uses the hand cursor even when it's inside a imgui panel... heh

ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 15:00

I eventually remembered why I haven't previously done WvW maps for the wiki... every time i look at the articles I start internally screaming

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Feb 18 2018 15:00

why? :joy:

ChieftainAlex

@ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 15:00

well nobody on the wiki does wvw

ergo the articles are missing like everything

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Feb 18 2018 15:01

rip

ChieftainAlex

@ChieftainAlex

Feb 18 2018 15:01

amazing how a shitty article can be improved with two images, a strapline description and working chatlinks.

Getting started with API
by Ceddwen.7260 in API Development
I've been interested in discussions I see about API but have to admit I'm a complete noob in this area! I can see how to create a key in my account, but then the article says to enter this into the box provided on the third-party site. This is where I'm immediately lost - I have no idea how to find a site or what I could get it to do for me. I've seen the Wiki whch is linked from one of the GW2 Forums (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:Main#Services) but this goes over my head.
Please can anyone point me in the direction of a very easy idiot's guide to getting started with API?
Thanks!
