TurtleRP Optimized

TurtleRP has an issue that causes the game to freeze frequently. This is caused by the addon generating an extreme amount of memory garbage, triggering more garbage collections, which will freeze the game for its duration. It also uses a lot of CPU, reducing average framerate. This fork addresses these issues, likely reducing resource usage by 99%+, while preserving all the functionality of the addon.

TurtleRP

An RP addon custom-made for Vanilla WoW.

Beta fixes

• Removing any quotation verification from chat-line emote; only present on chat box emote verification
• Otherwise, chat line emotes are reset with every press so errors do not continue after typos
• No validation error should appear for other players anymore
• NOTE: if a link is included in the text, and you are using Shagu / PFUI, the text will be mis-formatted because Shagu adds a white color after a link
• Validation checking for "~", "°", or "§" in any saved text
• No longer possible to save characters above, so users should never see them in their own profile (requires a new save to validate, will not work if user already has these characters in the profile)
• "%" character now allowed in emotes
• Hiding map icons correctly when changing frames on world map
  • TEST: possible error with characters on different continents, then moving back to your own continent, players misaligned on map
• Removed edges from Dark UI Description
• Titles on descriptions no longer replaced when new "Glances" open
• Data "sends" will now use "p" as the character name (just a placeholder for 'player'); using message sender instead, more reliable
