About Gearshaft's SkillLevel (fixed)

Description as submitted by original author Gearshaft:

This addon on adds a level equivalent to the skill bars in the Skills window.

About

This addon is very useful in helping quickly display what level your learned skills, like fishing, are. The level displayed in the skill bar is roughly equivalent to the character level it's related to. It's a pretty simple low overhead addon, but it removes busy work (math) for determining the skill level -> character level conversion.

Usage Tips

Knowing the equivalent character level of of your skills can help out when deciding what to do with them. In the case of the fishing skill, just go to an area that has the indicated level monsters for prime fishing skillup. For weapon skills, the level listed is the level that you are effectively fighting as.

Addon is based on last published version 2.1

Changes from Gearshaft's 2.1 - Skill conversions properly account for the different max skillpoints introduced in BC. Professions max out at 375 points. Basic skills like weapon skill, defense, class skills like lockpicking etc max out at 350 points. - All skill to level conversions attributed properly.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Fishing is probably the worst example you could have used... you could skill all the way to 300 sitting in Stormwind city! Furthermore, at 300 skill you can't even cast in level 60 areas like winterspring (330 min to cast) and at 400 skill (thanks to luers) some of them will still get away. However, if you wanted to say, skill cooking, and your cooking skill is level 50... it'll give you some direction where to fish for food to cook.

1. You still don't get the point of the addon which is to give a player level equivalent to skills
(your level, not the mob you skin)
Hint: Reading the addon description helps.
2. You are rude and using way too many exclamation points to be taken seriously.
3. If you don't like the addon feel free to keep the salary you're paying me,
or even better don't use the addon.

Yes the level cap is 70, but not for professions the level cap for professions is 75!!! Because there are mobs that are great than level 70 u can skin! I have tested this with my level my 64 hunter and 70 druid!! So after 300 you just /5 like always!! Not 7.5!! You go and try it by getting you skill to 305,310,315=61, 62, and 63!! If you don’t know about or play the game please don’t correct people!

Umm in your code you have
if SkillPoints <= 300 then
addition = SkillPoints/5;
else
addition = 60 + (SkillPoints-300)/7.5;
end
This is wrong it should be

addition = SkillPoints/5;

the /7.5 is wrong!! because at lvl 305 i can skinnen lvl 61 because 305/5 = 61 and the max is lvl 75 not 70 !!! ... 375/5 = 75!!

What you posted is incoherent.
The 7.5 modifier is only applied for skillpoints above 300 and for professions only.
The modifiers applied are 300/5 = 60 and 75/7.5 = 10.
60 + 10 = 70 (the current level cap)

Don't know what you're on about,
the math is fine.
