Thanks, Xrystal. If i was on your realm, I would send a little gold your way to offset your respec. I will load it up and give it a try after I feed the ravenous beast I call my kids.

Edit: Works great. Only two errors left. One with GearScore and the InspectPaperDoll error. Thanks again

Edit 2 : By jove I think she's done it .. It seems that the Druid Eclipse Bar utilises the OnShow function before we can tell it about our fake PlayerFrame so it couldn't get the parent.unit value correctly. Just packaging up the files again ...

Okay, here goes with a screenshot and new file download... *shakes head* .. what I do to fix my addons rofl .. 118g spec change rofl .. well may keep her boom until I decide to go feral on her again at least .. rofl

Ok Xrystal now thats dedication

Thanks for the update and for umm being a boomkin for Holloween

Very strange. Unless the windows compressed folder format is incompatible on some computers I can't fathom why you're the first to mention that problem.

What system are you using ?
Extraction method ? - Ah just saw your edit a minute ago rofl.

Ah, sorry, I deleted my post, but you were too fast...

The recipe (which I guess others discovered, but it was spread over several posts) is to open the downloaded file (which is not actually a Zip file) with WinRAR, extract the contents, rename the extension-less extracted file as a .zip, and then extract the real contents (which can be done with WinZip).

Sorry for any confusion.

Xrystal · 10-28-10, 03:49 PM

Oh I see.

I wonder if wowi does that automatically for all my addons rofl. My apologies guys for those that don't have windows vista or above which I assume have no problems reading the files. They show up as zip files to me so I just assumed they were winzip etc compatible.

schmitty · 10-31-10, 02:53 AM

I think it's actually compressing the original archive as gzip for some reason, and removing the extension on it for some reason. Are you using WinRAR?

Xrystal · 10-31-10, 07:25 AM

Nope, I'm using Windows built in compression ability. Right click folder, send to compressed folder. Resulting file is a zip file to me and has always been that way for me for years since I've been using Vista. Every one of my addons have been compressed and uploaded the same way. That's whats confusing that no one has come across this in the last few years of my addon writing.

schmitty · 10-31-10, 08:28 AM

Is there any indication when you upload to WOWI, that something extra is being done during the upload process?

Xrystal · 10-31-10, 08:37 AM

Just the delay while they check for the usual thing so if anything perhaps they do the conversion then. No one has said anything to me about it being a bad format before.

schmitty · 11-01-10, 12:20 AM

Yeah, it's wierd. Other archies I've downloaded from this site haven't had this problem.

Perhaps it could be a Windows issue, caused by an update.

Gaidinward · 11-02-10, 09:40 PM

I am having problem opening this as well. I am using Windows 7. I don't have anything that will open it?

Also, is this a folder I just put in my addons folder or do I add the files to the nUI folder?

Xrystal · 11-02-10, 09:43 PM

Hmm, very strange .. all I am using is Window 7's built in extracting system to make those files.

But yes, treat it as if it is another addon.

Well for all those having problems with the zip files here are the two files inside there. Just create a folder with the same name ( nUI_Plugin_TempMovers ) in the Interface/AddOns folder and put the files inside it.

Hmm can't attach the toc file so just create a file called nUI_Plugin_TempMovers.toc and put this in there.

Code:

Thank you very much for this temp fix!

I checked everyone and the only problem I can find is that the Druid bar is not movable through the /nUI movers command.

It shows up and works in game, but I can't move it.

whereswaldo · 11-03-10, 05:08 AM

If you are talking about the Eclipse Bar, it works fine for me. Used the TempMovers fix to move it from its default position in the up left corner to the area just above the pet bar.

Gaidinward · 11-03-10, 06:51 AM

What do you mean by the temp movers fix? Did I miss a manual change to the latest version?

whereswaldo · 11-03-10, 07:13 AM

I'm taking about Xyrstal's latest version (1.06.00) available in this thread.

Gaidinward · 11-03-10, 07:51 AM

Thats the one I'm using. I will play around with it again when I get home. Maybe I missed something.

Gaidinward · 11-03-10, 08:42 PM

Ok, I have tried everything I can think of. I am using the 1.06.00 files. I have disabled every addon but nUI and the temp plugin and I still can not move the druid moon/sun bar.

Also, the bar only displays when I am in eclipse state, not the buildup to it.

I can live it with as its a temp fix and I appreciate the time you put into it.

whereswaldo · 11-03-10, 08:48 PM

Does the addon show up in the list of addons you access from your character select sceen. Some people have had issues with the Zip file that is attached in this thread. Start with the post that has the zip file and read on. Something to do with Windows 7. I didn't have the problem since I am still on Windows XP.
