##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 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 not to be shown 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 date information 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 www.warcraftrealms.com
- Data on number of characters seen during the census snapshot.
- Collection of Honor points data.
##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 select to not open the Friends panel when a /who is sent.
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.
