no atlas loot fu

[gtadem]

For the first time since Cataclysm launched, I decided to update my addons. Once in game, clicking on the atlas loot button only brings up what would appear if I was accessing drops in atlas. I am unable to bring up a window where I can choose to view loot that is crafted, PVP rewards, etc.

I realized that atlas loot fu is not in my addons folder. Nor is it within any avilable atlas loot downloads. When I tried using my old atlas loot fu, the game disregarded it and instructed me to remove it as it was no longer in use.

I don't use fubar or whatever. I never have. Yet I've always been able to use atlas loot to view craftable items and such. It was very handy to have in game. Why isn't atlas loot fu included with atlas loot? Where can I get an up to date version of it?

You can view craftable items. Atlaslot Fu had nothing to do with that. Many of the new Cataclysm craftables just haven't been added yet, and the developers have been too busy with the holidays.

[gtadem]

No... I can't view anything. Not the old craftables, nothing. Except the loot dropped in dungeons. Even the new ones. I'm only restating what I've already posted.

Ok so atlas loot fu has nothing to do with being able to see the items. Fubar data mods are just plugins to allow quick access to data. If you have the atlas loot fubar mod but no atlas loot it will not work. In the same way that if you have atlas loot but no fubar mod then you cannot hope to display the info in the fubar panel.

With that being said. Your stated question is actually 3 questions in 1 and actually provides us with no relevant information as to your problem. So saying " I'm only restating what I've already posted" will not work in this situation.

Now lets break down your question

For the first time since Cataclysm launched, I decided to update my addons. Once in game, clicking on the atlas loot button only brings up what would appear if I was accessing drops in atlas. I am unable to bring up a window where I can choose to view loot that is crafted, PVP rewards, etc. I realized that atlas loot fu is not in my addons folder. Nor is it within any avilable atlas loot downloads. When I tried using my old atlas loot fu, the game disregarded it and instructed me to remove it as it was no longer in use.

As stated above you do not need atlas loot fu to use atlas loot.



And for the TLDR version

In game type
/al
This should bring up the atlas loot window, if it is still blank then delete all the refrences to atlas loot from your addon folder and delete the saved var's and re download it all.
And in the future please remember that we answer questions based on what you ask, if you ask the wrong questions and or do not give full accurate information we will never be able to help you.


Happy New Year!!

Sorry for the confusion. Based on your question, it sounded like you were unable to see the newer craftables/pvp/etc, rather than not being able to see anything within those categories.

[gtadem]

Yes, it was stated that I don't need fubar. Fine. I got that the first time. That's not all that was said. For example: "You can view craftable items" which is not true. I cannot view craftable items. Which I had already stated. When I state it again and say it has already been stated, this is true even if the original statment of it wasn't enough to answer.

I'm sorry if this is difficult to grasp since this isn't how it's supposed to work, but if I felt it was working, I'd have no reason to post. To help, I'll provide an image. Please re-read what has been stated three times now to verify that it is exactly as I said it was.

That's what I get when I click on the atlas loot button. Note that the title of the window is atlas loot. Note that there is no map despite it looking just as it would if it was viewed through atlas, which was stated.

I'm sorry if you take offense to my saying that I'm posting what's already been stated but three posts in, I've posted no new information since the first. I didn't post to fight with random strangers. Perhaps instead of reiterating the one item of info that was given by others and/or maligning me for stating a fact, perhaps ask probing questions if you feel I've not provided enough information.

On my own, the only variable I saw between things working and not working was the presence of atlas loot fu. I've been told that that has no bearing on whether or not atlas loot displays things other than dungeon drops. Fine. So what could be causing this issue then?

I'll even belabor the obvious by stating that previously (normally if you will), clicking on the atlas loot button brought up a vertically rectangular window, brown in color, that had drop down menus, navigation features, a search function, etc. Not what you see in that picture.

Top right of your screen there toggle AL panel.

[gtadem]

Ah, very good. That's still nothing like it looked before. It will still get me what I want and perhaps was always accessible that way. However, this proves that the view and manner of use I'm accustomed to IS because of atlas loot fu.

So does anybody know how I can get a current atlas loot fu?

[Nobgul]

Yer they totally redesigned the thing.

Ill take a look at atlas loot fu later and see how far out of date it is. If its not very bad ill fix it up.

Broker2Fubar is a long shot but might still work. It hasn't been updated in a long time but the alpha's from wowace might get atlasloots lbd to appear on fubar for you.

No actually, it isn't. All it proves is that the (very old) pre-Cataclysm version of AtlasLoot you were using was providing you with different loot viewing options than the updated release currently is. Nothing else.

The only thing AtlasLootFu did (and what the current LibDataBroker plugin included with the mod that replaces AtlasLootFu does) is open the main AtlasLoot window and/or its options window. That's it. It doesn't magically allow you to see the crafted items list or anything else.

As stated by a poster above, you can get the same loot viewing options with the current release v6.01.02 that earlier versions did. All you have to do is click that big "Toggle AL Panel" button at the top-center-right of the AtlasLoot frame as shown in your screenshot. Which you have not apparently done. Can also access this panel a different way (more steps needed): through Interface, AddOns, AtlasLoot, Panel, uncheck Hide Panel. That panel has looked like that for a long time.

The first thing to do...always...after doing a major update of a mod and things are not working the way you are accustomed to: check out its options.

I do believe you're the only person that would call the version that provided ruby sanctum drops as "very old" primarily because you are mistaken.

But how? Via atlas loot fu is my renewed guess.

And that is precisely what I'm accustomed to. How does one mount a refutation attempt by repeating the person they're trying to refute I wonder?

No, an ALTERNATE path to the same information is what was provided. While adequate if I'm forced to settle for it, I'm looking for the way I had always known it to be before... when atlas loot fu was present.

Yet I was able to know that that was in fact an alternate path to the same information. If you're going to use the word apparent, that is what would be apparent. What you're referring to is a pre-conceived notion apparently born out of a desire to be combative.

If only the thread were about the AL panel toggling. It's not. Anybody calm enough to resist their desire to fight with a stranger without consequence behind the annonymity of the internet would find that apparent.

It was always the default. As in you press the AL button on your minimap and the following would appear (pic straight from curse, suck it):

Until you can get me there without an atlas loot fu, you're really in no position to launch a pathetic attempt to attack somebody based on generalities and presumptions instead of what's actually being talked about. Prove me wrong. But do it with merit. I'm smarter than you and will be able to continue to dismantle any further childish attempts at flaming.
