Spell Work in C#

[Konctantin]

I and LordJZ started to rewrite SpellWork in C#.

Repository here: http://github.com/LordJZ/spellwork_cs/

+ Auto detect locale

+ Select the color of important information

- Not yet implemented all function in original SpellWork (autor DiSlord)

I would like to hear your feedback and bug reports

Thanks

That sure was quick work! It hasn't been that long since the Delphi sources were released.

Thanks for continuing the legacy of this tool.

Did you choose C# for easier porting from Delphi or is it just a language you feel more comfortable using for Windows?

[Konctantin]

Original SpellWork written in C + + Builder 6.0.

I am using C #, because less acquainted with him, and because I wanted to reinforce their knowledge of LINQ.

Sorry for my bad English

[Unkle Nuke]

My mistake. I thought it was written in Delphi. Must be because of the association with Borland.

Since C# is a proprietary programming language, owned by Microsoft, aren't there concerns over portability as well as the longevity of the code base, should MS drop C# or modify it in the future to be incompatible with legacy code?

C# is not necessarily a proprietary language; it is standardized, and it is supported by most platforms near completely. The only problem with it is that the people pushing it and developing it is (mostly) MS and there are some patent issues.

Nice tool, very useful for looking up the details of spells.

[Unkle Nuke]

I'm wary of anything MS pushes as a "standard". Past examples include their attempts to co-opt Java and C++ with their own "brands". Anytime you're dealing with matters of software patents, it's a minefield that can leave developers out on the proverbial limb. I'd say D seems to be a better choice if you're looking for an open source alternative to C#.

Nonetheless, I'm glad to see development and improvement of SpellWork continue. I've only just toyed with this tool, but it seems to be very useful for any MaNGOS developer. I look forward to learning more with SpellWork C# Edition.

The latest compiled version, includes support for the database.

The test version.

As for the table spell_proc_event need to take data in columns SpellFamilyMask0, SpellFamilyMask1, SpellFamilyMask2, they are taken directly from the dbc and do not change or somehow generated?

in old spell_work they were loaded from dbc by spell family name and you could choose different spell masks , better if you copy it as it was I think..

C# is an ECMA standard (ECMA-334) and has been for years now.

Microsoft allowed Mono to copy or clone whatever their libary

Most things of the .net development framework are fully ported so in my eyes c# ist a language that allows you to write multi.os programms

Thank you for that, it's a very usefull tool for fix spell in MaNGOS, find SpellFamilyMask, find attribute ...etc.

Now it is working well.

What would you like to see in this program?

C# is an ECMA standard (ECMA-334) and has been for years now.

Actually, some of it is patented by MS.

[Konctantin]

+ Added a filter on a sample of database

+ Added several tests to work with database

+ Added a form for calculating flags

+ Added binary files "SpellWork.exe" and "MySql.Data.dll" to the repository

you can download it here http://github.com/LordJZ/spellwork_cs/tree/master/SpellWork/bin/Release/

[Unkle Nuke]

Thank you for this update, Konctantin.

I look forward to how Spell Work will grow with your own genius and ideas. Many greatly appreciate your work. Please continue.

[Konctantin]

Write what you would like to see in this program, and I'll do it.

Now I think to implement comparison spells.

[Hundekuchen]

Hey ho, i hope it works for mangos 0.12 very soon. nice work

[Konctantin]

SpellWork only works with version 333 (11723).

In the future we plan to add a branch 243 and 112.

But it later, I'm a little busy ...

[Forusim]

Hey nice tool.

Trying to open the project with visual c++ 2008, but it says it doesnt support my version, although i open SpellWork_VS2008.sln

Any idea, how to solve this?

Thanks!

[Schmoozerd]

# != ++

(message too short)

[Patman128]

You can't open it in Visual C++, it's not written in C++ lol.

[Forusim]

Oh snap

Thanks guys!

[Sasuke210]

Great work.

Thanks .

Good job. Really nice program.

One question, if I want to find all spells that have SPELL_ATTR_PASSIVE as one of the attributes, what must I do? I know it must be done from Advanced Filters, but how exactly. Thanks

Later edit: The solution is the Attributes&X dialog box. I found out that SPELL_ATTR_PASSIVE = 0x40 (from mangos source). Converted to DEC it's 64. So Attributes&X = 64. It works but, after I search I also want to filter somehow the search results. "Spell search" and "Spell filter" seem to be independent. For example I want all spells with Attributes&X = 64 and Aura Id 232 (SPELL_AURA_MECHANIC_DURATION_MOD). Something like that. How can I do that?

Even later edit: I found a way to combine spell search with the spell filter. Now it works. =) If anyone is interested, post here.
