It gets complicated

Ok here is the tests I have done


NF means 'character reference not found in main LUA file'
Yes means Flight Data has been found in the characters Carbonite lua file

Char level and Realm : Main File : Flight Data
------------------------------------------------------------
Level 10 Char on Azuremyst - : - NF : Yes
Level 58 Char on Azuremyst - : - F : Yes, but Wrong
------------------------------------------------------------
Level 33 Char on Arathor - - : - NF : Yes
Level 22 Char on Arathor - - : - NF : No
------------------------------------------------------------
Level 7 Char on Terokkar - - : - NF : Yes




A character that no longer exists on one realm does show up in the main Carbonite.LUA even though there is no character folder for that character in the associated realm folder!

All in all, I fear there is a great deal of inconsistency in the make up of the files. If the main carbonite.lua file is supposed to hold all there is for all characters from all realms, then here it is failing abysmally.

The main carbonite.lua file is only some 798Kb, it would have to be ten times that for the number of characters I have.

Does the Main carbonite file get scanned at each log-in and log-out as now, logging out one character to bring on another takes nearly three minutes. About a minute to log out and about two minutes to log in. I go make a coffee after selecting 'log-in' for a char, when I get back, coffee in hand, the blue line is just reaching the end of the log-in screen.

I look forward to your insight Vis, and anyone else of course.

I have not given up with carbonite, for when it works, its darned good.
