DBM and CoS

I am getting a ton error messages from DBM all related to Strat.

What are your error messages?

Snag an addon like buggrabber and bugsack. It will collect the error messages so you can copy/paste them to here. Lua is the language addons are programmed in. What its saying partially is there is an error in the lua file for that instance in DBM. What that is remains to be seen.

Ah, thank you. I was an old Cobaler. 30+ years ago.

Would you believe I just downloaded dbm fresh from the site, unzipped it, but it in the add ons folder and wow does not recognize it exists?

[MidgetMage55]

Might want to double check the file path. Ill assume you removed the old version first then re-downloaded. If thats the case its possible it wasnt packaged correctly which happens from time to time.

should be ...\World of Warcraft\interface\addons\DBM

.. And inside the dbm folder should be the DBM.toc file.

If its not and there is another DBM folder in there and inside THAT one is the toc its just simple folder in folder syndrome. Just move the files in to the first dbm folder. The only reasons wow would not see it are (and someone please correct me if im wrong here):

A) The files are not in the right place

or

B) The files themselves are not correctly written

For A its either folder in folder or the files aren't where they should be (read totally wrong directory primarily happens with vista users) and for B its pretty self explanatory.

Ah finally. During or right after a nexus run but I have been seeing this for 2 days now.

Blizzard did it's old trick of replacing functions mein old time COBAL writing friend

GetCurrentDungeonDifficulty

is now replaced by

GetDungeonDifficuly

http://www.deadlybossmods.com/DBM-svn.zip should have it fixed

http://www.deadlybossmods.com/forum/...8da3411ad36fec

Okay, GetRaidDifficulty() is a completely new function while GetCurruentDungeonDifficulty() was replaced by GetDungeonDifficuly(). I'm now trying to figure out what corresponds to the old 15/25-men detection.
