So I am using the EQDKP System from this site and it comes with the WoW addons to pull the data, however when reading through your install instructions there is only one problem I have (along with a lot of players), it's not "platform independent" as it should be and as it is listed at sourceforge. To use this addon according to your instructions you must launch "DKP.EXE" in the GetDKP Data folder...exe's don't work on a Mac so we cant input everything we are supposed to, and cant use the program to its potential. I have been able to get the string out of the addon in game because of the independent structure of addons for WoW but cant use whatever is being provided via the DKP.EXE program. I have 17 toons, several of them in different guilds and know a lot of players play on a Mac, could you please provide us with the same abilities as being afforded window's users? With all of the porting tools that are available I'm sure you could bring it to all WoW players in a flash ;)

Thanks

No, you don't need the dkp.exe to run the program! This tool just pulls the data from the website, which can be done manually or using tools for mac.

The addon itself is definitely platform independet. You should unterstand that and the point that the GetDKP cannot provide tools for mac if they don't have access to one, but maybe you want to port the dkp.exe?

Btw: Please mind the board rules.

I know I can do it manually but I've not seen any "tools for mac" posted anywhere on this site or any directive as to the availability of such tools anywhere within any documentation related to the EQDKP system or the GetDKP addon for WoW, so maybe you can point me to what you are referring to. I agree the addon is platform independent, and it does work on Mac with WoW and never said anything to the contrary, only that we (Mac users) were not being afforded the same abilities as a Window's user. In order for me to port DKP.exe i would have to have the source code of the .exe & the .bin that it is using when running, I have 2 Intel based Mac's both with windows on them so I could easily see what dll's or other resources that the .exe is accessing. If this is something that would prove of interest just let me know...programming for a BSD Unix core isnt hard at all especially with XCode to layer a GUI over your component layer. :)

Oh, and if I violated any board rules I'm not sure which I have, I refreshed my understanding of them after reading your post but am still unsure as to which rule(s) I did not adhere to :?:

Fill out your profile and support the used version of the plugin / addon are nice examples of the rules ;)

You wrote this and i answered it, no? The addon is platform independend.

And Wallenium posted a java script which will do the work maybe. As i said, we cannot offer products we can't support / maintain ourselves.

If you want to maintain a mac version, contact kirax as he is an author.
