About CensusPlus

{{{

!html

You can always find the latest information on the Census mod at:

http://www.warcraftrealms.com/censusplus.php

INTRODUCTION

CensusPlus came about due to requested changes and desired options not present in the original Census UI Mod by Ian Pieragostini.

I spoke with Ian (the original creator of the Census UI mod) and he has lost interest in World of Warcraft modding and encouraged me to modify the Census Mod to my liking. Thus I have done so.

The original Census UI Mod basically took snapshots of your current realm and faction. You could keep this data and combine it with other snapshots to provide greater statistical analysis.

CensusPlus offers many features above and beyond what the original Census UI mod provided. Here follows a list of added features:

* Abilty to minimize the main census window which provides you the abilty to actually play while a census is being taken
* Ability for the Friends panel to be automatically closed after each /who is sent to the server. This keeps the UI open from the main Census window
* Ability to pause and unpause the current census
* Ability to stop the current census in progress
* Added a /censusdate command which allows the user to place a date timestamp on all characters that are found during census's taken that day -- This helps facilitate greater accuracy in results when census data is uploaded to http://www.warcraftrealms.com
* GameTime timestamp added when characters are viewed which will be used by http://www.warcraftrealms.com if your data is uploaded

This new mod saves additional information in the SavedVariables.lua file. WarcraftRealms is still able to process both the old version of the SavedVariables.lua file and the new version. I will continue to support all data collection methods.

USAGE

Unzip the files into your %World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns directory. It should create a CensusPlus directory with the installed files.

If you have Cosmos installed, CensusPlus will register itself with Cosmos and you can invoke the Census window by selecting the CensusPlus option from the Census menu.

You can also invoke the CensusPlus window by typing /censusplus or /census+

You can import your original Census UI Mod information by typing /censusimport

You can set the current date by typing /censusdate MM-DD-YYYY, for example typing /censusdate 12-25-2004 would set the current date to December 25, 2005.

You can select to automatically close the Friends panel when it pops open when a /who command is executed.

You can select to automatically display the Mini-Census button which must be visible in order for a Census to be taken while the main Census window is minimized.

By selecting the Take button from the main census panel, you will initiate a Census snapshot. Depending on the population of your realm and faction, this could take several minutes.

Clicking the Purge button will purge all your collected data from your local Census database.

Clicking the Stop button will stop the current census if one is in progress.

Clicking the Pause button will pause the current census if one is in progress.

If you so choose, you can upload your collected census information to http://www.warcraftrealms.com Doing so will greatly help in the tracking of your realm and faction's population numbers and statistics.

If you have any requests, comments, or suggestions, please post in the forums here.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

UniUploader is what I recommend for uploading the data for this and Killing Fields. It's available right here on Curse. If you use rpgo-CharacterProfiler you actually up load the data for that too at the same time (as long as use the same login and password for both services).

Something has changed and there are some problems with the guild pane popping up.
Temp fix, just select any of the other tabs and it should stop. I am still trying to fix this.

I have a problem (I think). I run a Census but it goes on for 25min still not completing.
I use it mainly only to be able to see the level of a character speaking in any channel. I use the Prat Chat Addon so doing a /who for the server or seeing a person will update there level.
It has worked in the past, but doesn't now. I thought it might have been since it was an older version, but updated recently to no avail.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can you please modify Census such that it can give accurate active PvP information. Have an option to keep track of Race/Class distributions inside the Arenas/Battlegrounds.
I am very positive that classes (such as priests) are much rarer in PvP then they are in PvE ... which is a very important piece of information that is currently unobtainable.

You shouldn't have a list of "added features", you should have a list of *features* - I've never heard of the original mod and I have no idea what yours does.

No comments for this add-on ?
Damn ! My one is on it now :p
So, this Census is a great tool for tracking and see realm's history.
Most people use only "avatar/roll" information, but most interesseted one are on graphic and table, for showing real ratio in game, classe playrate and so one.
BUT I HAVE AN IMPORTANT REQUEST
Can you put an option, for stopping the Cenus with juste a right-click on the minimap Icon ?
Not really practical to have to open the census pannel and de-check option.
/bye

Sitting in silverpine I tried to take a census, and it said I was in a battleground. What check does it use to decide this? The only thing I can think of is that I used DFM to move my battleground minimap icon, so if it uses that at all...

There is no longer a check for battlegrounds. Interesting that it thought you were in one while in Silverpine though... very odd...

Is there any function that I could use to extract Class-Informations from CensusPlus? I would like to give CleanChat the ability to take that information instead of retrieving it itself or keeping an extra table.
