Talk:Events

Naming Issue
The sub-pages here have horrible Wiki names..

It would be alright if they were just:

Events A-B

But putting all that other junk in there makes them annoying to link to, and extremely fragile. Can we change them to be simpler? We can still use the pipe mechanism to make the links on the Events page include all that information, and a title entry on the actual page if the subheadings isn't enough.

Extraneous events
I just cross referenced all of the Wiki event pages with a script-extracted list of events from the 4150 interface directory (As extracted by the interface tool). The following events are in the wiki but NOT in my list.

CHARACTER_LIST_UPDATE SELECT_FIRST_CHARACTER SELECT_LAST_CHARACTER SUGGEST_REALM UPDATE_SELECTED_CHARACTER

CHAT_MSG KEYWORDS UNIT_COMBO_POINTS

Some of those are, I suspect, part of the glue which isn't exported (I've separated those from the others) -- what about the others?

List of Events used in Interface 4150
I've compiled a list of Events and their names from the Interface.mpq and patch.mpq (Interface Directory) and made it available to download from http://home.pacific.net.au/~harrowed/Interface.xml

EventCatcher
I whipped this up a while ago, and put it in the Addons list, but never got around to putting it in here

EventCatcher does what it says, it catches events, maintains a list of events you want to catch and lets you know when they fire. It also provides the list of arguments for each event.

Get it here

Links to subpages
This article (Events) has several subpages, but does not appear to directly link to them. Should links be included here somehow? -- 16:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
