Bosstalk Continued updated by Bigbur & MysticalOS 

hey, i have loved bosstalk and really want to get this updated one, but have no idea how to make .rar's work, can anyone tell me how pease? =)

Contact them, there are 3-4 policies that are on your side:

Open Source Definition: http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php

Just send them a mail or something and tell them you want to release a fan update or a new fork or something

Bigbur, you actually can post it on Curse.com, as your own version, like instead of Endeavor's Bosstalk make it Bigbur's Bosstalk, or Endeavor's Bosstalk Continued.

Reason being, it first has not been updated in well over a year, second its released under GPLv2 so as long as you give credit to the original auther, and release all source code (which in this case happens automatically when releasing the addon, it just means no Obfuscation) then you can take the source and use it anyway you please, and release it under the SAME license. Otherwise this release on WoW Interface would be illegal too, but its not since its all GPL licensed.

So you can freely release it on Curse, or I can release it on curse and give all credit to you, doesn't matter to me, But it would be nice if you did it, cause Addon Authors get nice perks.

Taken directly from the addon page: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...boss-talk.aspx

GPLv2 if you want to read it: http://wow.curseforge.com/licenses/6...rsion-2-gplv2/

right now it saves options in the global variables folder and it's shared with all chars. it would take some work to change that behavior

Ooo! Question, question!

So I'm a role player. I like this mod, I think it's just nifty. <3

I love that you guys are working on it again, that's even better! You two are just nifty keen. x3

Sorry.. old sayings.. Anywho. My question is.. Do I have to have the SAME sayings for EVERY character? Because..honestly.. some I have in the 'Events' list just..do not work for other characters I have. I cannot quite see a way for each character to have their own options or profile and what not and..well.. That's a bit troubling.

edit: Nope, doesn't recognize you as a helper in file comments yet though or "addon author" oh well.

There is a repackaged updated copy of Bosstalk. I also cleaned up the ToC file and such a bit. Moved all the embeds into an XML file instead of straight in the ToC

Normally I would release it, but they are such minor changes, there is almost no work done in this. Wouldn't feel right, plus it works just fine and Bigbur did some good work on it and all.

Though it would be nice if you released it on Curse, or I can release it there for you, I am a Addon Author on there already.

ah i totally didn't catch that when fixing toc file myself. i just added libs to optional dependnacies so at least if a newer version of lib exists in another addon then bosstalk would stop using it's own out of date ones.

In helping out my friend, I have found out that you have a small problem with your ToC file. You updated the LibBabble-*-3.0 libraries, but you didnt notice there was a change in the file structure. The LibBabble component is now a seperate file, and not just a function inside the LibBabble-*-3.0.lua. What this causes is if the person is using only this addon period, or no other addons that load LibBabble-3.0.lua, the addon errors, and just stops working for the most part.

Here is a fix to it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/787423/BossTalk.toc just need to add LibBabble-3.0.lua to the ToC.

In all honesty you should change it to load the XML files instead for the LibBabble, and any other embed that has XML files now.

[Edit] actually, I updated it to XML files, but there is now an error that I seem to be getting in the Version Check function of the addons:

[Edit-2] The Version Check problem is cause you are using 2 dots in your version, that causes problems when the versioncheck function tries to convert it to a real number. I changed it to 3.956 and it works.

Also this version problem, stops people with the Endeavors version, or older version to not be able to send you quotes. you dont hear them, since the versioncheck fails.
