WoW Realm Status

Leave a reply

My lasted World of Warcraft mod/addon was completed recently. I decided to make it because I had just gotten back from Adobe Max in San Francisco, and wanted to make something using Adobe AIR and figured a Realm Status app would be pretty cool.

I used 2 Adobe produces I had never used before for this application, one begin AIR and the other being Flex. I must say Flex is very easy to use, I definitely liked it…. but I still like Flash, maybe because I’ve used it for so long, I’m just more confortable with it. Anyway my experience was good with both AIR and Flex and I would definitely use them both again.

Description

WoW Realm Status is a desktop application that monitors the Blizzard realm status rss feed and notifies you when the status of your watched realms have changed.

You can be notified in 2 ways with a Pop-up Window on your desktop informing you that your realm status has changed and with E-mail notification with the same information.

WoW Realm Status minimizes to the system tray for a lower profile when in use.

Requirements

WoW Realm Status uses Adobe Air 1.5 Runtime Enviroment, to use WoW Realm Status you must first have Adobe Air 1.5 Installed, you can find Adobe Air 1.5聽here it is a free download and the file is is about 15MB.

You must also be connected to the internet for status updates to occur, but if your playing WoW I assume you have an internet connection.

If you are interested in WoW Realm Status it can be found here.

BhaldieInfoBar

BhaldieInfoBar was a Titan Panel alternative I made, it had limited success, Titan Panel was the number one Panel and聽probably聽still is and BiB (short for BhaldieInfoBar) just could compete with that powerhouse.聽

Anyway BiB did okay I ported over about 100 Titan panel addons and created a website to host the ported addons, before BiB was retired near the start of the second year of WoW. 聽Modding was fun, and I got to learn a new scripting language in the process too LUA, oh sweet LUA!! 聽

BiB and BhaldieMoveIT had about 200,000 downloads between the 2 of them. 聽It was no MonkeyQuest thou, shout outs to my bhuddy!! aka Trentin aka Dudicle aka 8haldie!!

according to the UI Scale and/or screen resolution you use, this means your plugins will never
run off the screen now matter what UI Scale you are using. BhaldieInfoBar has the functionality

Virtual Worlds, Virtually Anything is Possible

Leave a reply

Below is a short movie I created (Movies aren’t my specialty). This movie was created for VDI for a presentation at the 2008 Modsim World Conference in September, the topic of the presentation was the importance of Virtual Worlds in learning and how they can be used as a tool for educators.

The movie was shown as a intro piece to grab the audiences attention to kick off the presentation. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show!!!

Can you guess where the music is from !!
