Roll Your Own Fixes for 5.041

For that reason their lua code changes disproportionately between revisions and someone trying to fix the new one would have to start over duplicating all the work they did on the last one tracing functions and such. (I'm assuming that's one of the reasons they still run an obfuscator on their code to discourage fan updates)

yeah what he's saying (i think) is to not even bother with the official releases, just keep fixing the fan one and bringing in the patches the official does to fix things not already fixed. Which is sort of what i've already been doing with the version that use to be here, and now the .08 release that can be found (and soon .09 when I get off my lazy ass). The problem is those updates have to stay underground instead of being out in the open for people to find and use, and it creates a rift between those using the fan and those using the official... then again that rift already exists right now.

But his suggestion is instead of keeping the new fan updates underground, supply .patch files against it... the fan releases are not obfuscated so it would work.... and a .patch file against something you have to find yourself is not breaking any rules since your not providing the original.

When I left click to toggle the carbonte map the mini-wow map (in the upper right corner) doesn't show up anymore. Please help. I'm not a computer programmer btw so keep it simple. Thanks.

I am having trouble with the Carbonite buttons getting thrown all over the screen when I'm in a dungeon and using heal bot 5.0.5.0 can someone help with this issue? The strange thing is it only happens on my elemental shaman.

Rythal, thank you so much for fixing carbonite, you are a life saver. I just wish they would let you, or someone take over carbonite if they are not going to bother with it anymore. You are a sweetheart for doing this, again thank you so much.

Go to the folder where your Carbonite add-on is located. By default it is in your Program Files, World of Warcraft/Interface/Add Ons.

In the Carbonite folder, find the Carbonite.lua file. Open it in Notepad.

Use the find and replace feature of Notepad to make the changes outlined in Post #35 in this thread:

Save the file after all changes are made.

Thanks Rythal. Seems to be working fine for the moment. Count me in as someone who would love to hear about any future addons you create yourself.

Hi
I tried to modifia the carbonite.lua and is still not working for my french version. I have a lot of errors et nothing appear on my screen.
Do you have any info for that?
Many thanks

[Chmee]

Probably a localization problem. Try searching these forums for "French localization".

doesnt work. i download the file from jovenyoung (and of course i changed the ending from txt to lua) but this doent help too.

This is my question as well.

They are working partially for me. Anyway, Rythal did a good work. I can help a lot if somebody explains me how carbonite is coded.

[jktz122]

i'm in pandaland but a lot of quests are not in the database so carbonite isnt helping .. i wish it did its one of the best add ons pre mop
