EmFor@0 134 INTRODUCTION
EmFor@0 135
EmFor@0 136 CensusPlus came about due to requested changes and desired options
EmFor@0 137 not present in the original Census UI Mod by Ian Pieragostini.
EmFor@0 138
EmFor@0 139 I spoke with Ian and he has lost interest in World of Warcraft modding
EmFor@0 140 and encouraged me to modify the Census Mod to my liking. Thus I
EmFor@0 141 have done so.
EmFor@0 142
EmFor@0 143 The original Census UI Mod basically took snapshots of your current
EmFor@0 144 realm and faction. You could keep this data and combine it with
EmFor@0 145 other snapshots to provide greater statistical analysis.
EmFor@0 146
EmFor@0 147 CensusPlus offers many features above and beyond what the original Census
EmFor@0 148 UI mod provided. Here follows a list of added features:
EmFor@0 149
EmFor@0 150 - Abilty to minimize the main census window
EmFor@0 151 which provides you the abilty to actually play while a census
EmFor@0 152 is being taken
EmFor@0 153 - Ability for the Friends panel not to be shown after
EmFor@0 154 each /who is sent to the server. This keeps the UI open from
EmFor@0 155 the main Census window
EmFor@0 156 - Ability to pause and unpause the current census
EmFor@0 157 - Ability to stop the current census in progress
EmFor@0 158 - Added a date information which allows the user to place a
EmFor@0 159 date timestamp on all characters that are found during census's
EmFor@0 160 taken that day -- This helps facilitate greater accuracy in
EmFor@0 161 results when census data is uploaded to www.warcraftrealms.com
EmFor@0 162 - Data on number of characters seen during the census snapshot.
EmFor@0 163 - Collection of Honor points data.
EmFor@0 164
EmFor@0 165 USAGE
EmFor@0 166
EmFor@0 167 Unzip the files into your %World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns directory. It
EmFor@0 168 should create a CensusPlus directory with the installed files.
EmFor@0 169
EmFor@0 170 If you have Cosmos installed, CensusPlus will register itself with Cosmos
EmFor@0 171 and you can invoke the Census window by selecting the CensusPlus option from
EmFor@0 172 the Census menu.
EmFor@0 173
EmFor@0 174 You can also invoke the CensusPlus window by typing /censusplus or /census+
EmFor@0 175
EmFor@0 176 You can select to not open the Friends panel when a /who is sent.
EmFor@0 177
EmFor@0 178 You can select to automatically display the Mini-Census button which must be
EmFor@0 179 visible in order for a Census to be taken while the main Census window is
EmFor@0 180 minimized.
EmFor@0 181
EmFor@0 182 By selecting the Take button from the main census panel, you will initiate a
EmFor@0 183 Census snapshot. Depending on the population of your realm and faction, this could
EmFor@0 184 take several minutes.
EmFor@0 185
EmFor@0 186 Clicking the Purge button will purge all your collected data from your local Census
EmFor@0 187 database.
EmFor@0 188
EmFor@0 189 Clicking the Stop button will stop the current census if one is in progress.
EmFor@0 190
EmFor@0 191 Clicking the Pause button will pause the current census if one is in progress.
EmFor@0 192
EmFor@0 193 If you so choose, you can upload your collected census information to
EmFor@0 194 http://www.warcraftrealms.com Doing so will greatly help in the tracking
EmFor@0 195 of your realm and faction's population numbers and statistics.
