Somewhere along the line I remember seeing something about how you can have page numbers in Notepad, but I don't remember how to get them, or where I saw it.

If you don't mind installing a small program to edit Lua files (and a lot of other types of code) you can get either Notepad++ or Sublime Text 2. They're free and not the only editors you can get, they're just the two that I like and use. (And they use page numbers.)

Thanks for that, I'll give one of them a try

I just wanted to get a, clear cut, quick overview out there, so peeps that didn't have the whole story, now have some sort of idea.

I know a lot of people have said that the OA's should take Rythal onto the team, in my view if I was Rythal, after the way he was treated when OA's came back (and hit him with the naughty stick n all) and they then turned round and asked him to join, my response would politely be along the lines of "Hell No, ya whining baby!" And I'm sure some will agree. Now I know some peeps will take this as a message of disrespect, this is not the case, I have great respect for what the OA's have done in the past. Just not for the way they have behaved in recent days.

I know this is kinda Hijacking the original topic so I'll try n shut up now

[nightshade68]

I still have Rythal's update installed. If I install 5.041 and do the fixes in this thread, will the result be better or worse then Rythal's version?

[Cherio]

The fix doesnt work in mop beta

Pandaria map out of sync not working at all

World map islands are located differently in updated VS. Rythal
Rythal old one works in beta though

open it with notepad++

[jackpotmonkey]

in notepad, open the edit menu, choose the 'go to' option (ctrl + G) and that will allow you to go to a spacific line number, if you want you can go to view - > status bar and the line number and column number will be shown in the bottom right part of the window, that is it shows the line number of the cursor.

Thanks, both, for the suggestions. Someone earlier mentioned notepad++ and it worked perfectly

Hi Rythal,
I was able to figure out where most of the fixes go in the current carbonite.lua from the updated version from Carbonites authors using normal Notepad from Windows 7. Notepat allows you to view status bar, then under tools go to a specific line.

Unfortunately the lines didn't exactly match from Notepad on my PC with the updated Carbonite.lua which was recently released.

I was able to search for terms, and find most of the code which supposedly needed to be modified.

Unfortunately I get a "Carbonite File Error" "Download Carbonite again".

I assume the changes affected the size of the file.

Is there any way to persuade Carbonite to accept the changes?

I'd like to have this stuff fixed, and am not able to figure out how to persuade Carbonite to run after making some changes to it's .LUA file.

That message is because one or more of the changes were not made right, you would need to turn on displaying lua errors to see which one. It's a default message when the addon has a problem not just because of the file size.

Version 5.041 do not work at me on RUru. no quest tracker, i don't can open tha map (same as the original map) and the questlog is the original blizzard questlog.There is too no welcome logo of carbonite and the only i can see, that carbonite is acitivated is, that the little carbonite symbol is shown at the minimap. it seems, that carbonite is not activated, but it is!

Please help me....

[flskylark]

I also cannot find the lines - I downloaded and installed notepad++ but the line numbers sure dont look like they match the suggested changes - any ideas?

I have placed a text file on my website if you want it with those fixes in it.

http://www.botclan.net/wow/Carbonite.txt

You will have to right click save target as and rename the file to .lua and replace the file in the Carbonite folder...

Hi all. I was typing and not using cut-n-paste, so I typed "self,BaA" when it is actually "self.BaA". I had a "duh" moment with that too because it's obviously a single attribute and not two parameters.

This did lead to that odd error about the file needing to be downloaded again.

Hope that helps some of you that are struggling, I'm back in business.

In mine it was fixed by docking / solid if it was a known bugged area, we will have to wait and see how they handle it and just live with it for now

Easy fix/workaround for me in Dalaran was just right click map, Minimap, change Transparency to 0.00. It still leaves icons from what I can tell, and easier to get to since I like having my minimap overlay.

hi, im new to this sort of stuff, but ive done some of the patching and it works however i have noticed when i went into undercity i got a big black circle, is there a way to fix this please, love the addon

As already said, the only fix for that is to set minimap transparency to either 0 or 100 ... anything in between causes that to happen in broken zones You can turn it back to whatever you want after you leave the zone.

Thank you for continuing to support this addon.

As for my take on the situation, I think it takes balls of brass to continue to take donations and then sit on your arses giving your user base zero feedback.
I appreciate that this is your baby, but the very least you owe those who have donated is a quick sticked message on the forums or main page letting us know what is or isn't going to happen.
