Apology for no update yet
The Battlegrounds are driving me crazy ... I have them enabled, and when you enter one of the new ones it is working, but it's not displaying the map just a green window (with the carts drawn overtop).
They have nothing anywhere calling the battleground maps so I'm not sure where things are going wrong yet... but it's taking forever to figure out since I can't join a BG then just sit there and work on code, else they'll report me for afk. Why is nothing ever easy... LOL |
Temple of Kotmogu is working now... so it's just silvershard mine doing it
|
LOL enough people get away with it as it is, just run a BG bot ;)
JK I hate those things :P could you not join a skirmish match with volunteers? |
I might not use Carbonite, but honestly Rythal, chill, relax, take a deep breath or a few hundred. Carbonite is huge, and your plans for its evolution are difficult, to say the least.
Break it down into steps. Set milestone dates, and you know what, if you don't make them, so what? Little steps. If you keep looking at what is broken or needs changing, it will seem overwhelming. Sit back, and enjoy the little things. The users can and will wait. |
yup, what you've done so far is phenomenal, everyone knows the code was a train wreck when you took this on, so focus on one area at a time, it'll come together
|
Rythal your doing great. Relax. Every addon has hiccups. :banana:
|
Rythal no need to apologize. Seriously you are the man. Keep up the good work. We all praise you.

I am new on this forum, but have been using carbonite since burning crusade I believe. I love it and can't wait till its back up and running smoothly again. Patiently slumming through quests using the default blizz quest tracker and maps. Ugh lol. That being said, the features I hope you work on, is the quest color blobs on the map, waypoints and waypoint routing for gather feature. I depend HEAVILY on the gather feature and I'm slumped on my gathering professions without this lol. Rythal, don't get too stressed with updating this, cause we all love the addon, and will wait without flaming you when we know you are working to provide us with quality work. :) just keep up the good work!
|
Keep up the great work bud!!! Good things come to those who wait. Been using it since i've been playing not bound to give up on it now.
|
oh good things do definately come... like... well, you know those tiny instance maps that really did you no good unless you zoom zoom zoom in on them, then when you leave you gotta zoom zoom zoom out....
I know it's always annoyed me... so.. I did something about it :P Next version auto-zooms in on an instance, and remembers your old zoom level for when you leave. |
Awesome! That was really annoying.

Rythal, take it from a seasoned hand at this: communication is the key, and you are doing a fantastic job of that.
[Most] People are happy to wait, as long as they know what is going on. For example, that's the reason why I posted the update about the prizes from our 10th anniversary stuff. There's no obligation on my part to post anything. But it's just common courtesy and makes all the difference in the world. People generally only get bitchy when they don't know what is going on, when there is no communication. Even if there is going to be a delay for whatever reason, just saying that "hey, something is going on in my [personal/work/whatever] life and this has to take a back burner for awhile" will have most people going "oh, okay, thanks for the update." You are doing fine. Just continue on as you have been and no one will have any (valid or reasonable) complaints. |
^ Agreed....
|
I dont think anybody could have said it better than Cairenn.
Rythal, your doing a fantastic job thanks for the updates |
What do they say all the time in Pandaria when I turn in a quest? "Slow down, take your time"
Thank you for everything. |
yes sir, we just like to see you show your face in the forum every now and again, the boss lady hit the nail on the head

Rythal you are the best, take your time.

No need to put more pressure on yourself.
take a deep breath... I think milestones would be a great way to track progression. |
Here's what's done so far.... (still can't figure out silvershard mines damnit)
- Small bug fixes in questing from lua errors sent in - Native Archeology Blobs on carbonite map - Option under "Show" right click menu for enabling or disabling them - Transparency Option for the blobs under "Transparency" right click menu - Native Quest Blobs on carbonite map instead of the temporary fix minimap blobs - Same options as archeology above - Checked and fixed any problems with instances that were not showing (I actually flew to every one and zoned in to verify they worked now) - Auto-zooming to instance maps scale (works in every instance i've tried EXCEPT Scarlet monastary, for some reason it does not trigger a zone change when you first enter it.. will work on trying to fix that later) - if tomtom emulation is enabled, now supports the /way command - every file is now utf-8 instead of ascii so hopefully localization works out of the box still to do: - fix wandering isle map - figure out the silvershard mine map - have quest blobs test if they are known internally before drawing to avoid overlapping duplicates in old world zones that carbonite already drew it's own blobs for |
Wow nice progress so far. Keep it up bud.
|
../cheers for Rythal. Thank you!
|
Awesome Job Rythal !! Thank you!
|
I haven't used Carbonite since BC (as I absolutely hate leveling so only do one character) but from the effort you have put in and the quality of you communication and frankly the response of the community, I think its fair to say you are doing a great job Rythal.
It is great to see addon authors that care about the users and the community, but don't let it stress you out. Like it has been said before: we can wait. And as Cairenn said, communication goes a long way! So cheers to you brother! I will down a glass in your name! |
Herro
IMO i am not worried about the maps for BGs i just want the quest tracker to work like it once did. I want to be able to do my quests without having to tab out for the ones that are not in the database. also with the rep the way it is i do have one real request. a quest line tracker. I want to be able to open the trackers and set it to find the closest quest so that i can finish the areas out. this would also be good for anyone who wants to finish every single quest in the game.
|
That's a mighty nice list of upgrades!
I'm looking forward to quest blobs on the main map instead of the mini-map. (tbh, you should just use the blizzard POIs instead of Carbonites old ones, but that's just me. Having one tiny blob out in the middle of nowhere for one quest mob that happened to be placed there out of some masochist feeling from a quest designer was just odd...) |
