In either case it was either people have it now, and not have it when WoD comes, or they don't have it now and hopefully will have it in time for WoD. In previous posts within this thread the current progress has been mentioned, and hopefully i'll have a beta version out of the new system so people can test it and find bugs with it.

Rythal, we appreciate all that you are doing, having to wait a little longer is no big deal, blizzard maps, clunky as they may be aren't terribly bad once you get use to them lol, the wait will pay off in the end when carbonite makes its return 😄 thank again for all that you do!

Thank you for continuing to put your blood, sweat and tears into this. We also have been stumbling along with the default map and are really excited about having Carbonite back. I totally agree with waiting until you are ready and hopefully having the beta with the new system. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

When I encourage peeps to get Carbonite, I tell them it does EVERYTHING but wipe my behind. WOW is barely worth playing without it. Thank you for your hard work to keep Carbonite alive. We appreciate you.

I just got back to wow. I used carbonite since it 1st came out. i have tried to update it, every which way, but it still not working. i cant even open the map at all. no matter what ppl say, there is no better add on than carbonite. I used to send the $10.- donation, but got divorced and could not afford it lately (game as well) ...so im just wondering, if/when i can help again with ($) can i get the working version again?...and, where?

ty for friendly answers in advance

You must have been gone for a while, here's the short version.

Carbonite used to cost money.
Carbonite was then free (all addons have to be as per Blizzard).
Carbonite authors open sourced the code.
Rythal took over code and is rewriting it for WOD.
There is no official version that works for WoW 6.02 and up.
Rythal is hoping to have a working version out by tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

Once he's done you can get it for free.
You can still donate to Rythal for his efforts if you want.

I haven't been able to find where to download the new carbonite 6.0.3 i found a link that took me too the old bata 5.4.2 I think.
Where is the new bata found at?

It's not yet beta, but Rythal is rather close to preparing a beta release candidate on github. It currently still has a few errors and is not meant for actual use. It can be found at https://github.com/Rythal/Carbonite - please don't report errors at the beta error thread - and especially try not to report errors that were already reported.

Carbonite is currently undergoing a rebuild thanks to Rythal and many other contributors. There is a 'working' beta here https://github.com/Rythal/Carbonite

Some aspects, such as social are not working properly and you would not want to use it (social). Just go to Github at the link provided, click on Download Zip. Open the Zip and install the contents of that folder into your addons folder. Just to clarify, The Zip will be called Carbonite-master, the files for Carbonite are IN that folder. Don't just drag Carbonite-master to your addons and expect it to work. You will most likely have to activate those addons from the in-game menu.

NxMapGuide.lua and Guide.lua localization and seems to have caused problems.

How do I need to change the TX in the code below?

Nx.GuideInfo = {
	Name = L["All"],
	Tx = "INV_Misc_Map02",
	{
		Name = L["Quest Givers"],
		T = "&",
		Tx = "INV_Misc_Note_02",
		Persist = "ShowQuestGivers",
	},
	{
		T = L["Stable Master"],
		Tx = "Ability_Hunter_BeastTaming",
	},
	{
		T = L["Flight Master"],
		Tx = "Ability_Mount_Wyvern_01",
	},

OMFG TY SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
i missed carbon soooo much, i cant stand the basic map it freaking sucks, Rythal you should sell carbonite to blizz and earn millions , i know there are bugs in it but i dont care i havent got to deal with blizz's map and quest helper : D
TY sooooooooo much

[Wattzee]

Rythal if u need a tester to find any bugs in game play let me know i will be happy to help matey because this is the best mod i have ever found and i thank you for it

First of all, please report bugs in the correct section of this forum or directly on github.

Second, in the object you posted, Tx is correctly set, but it seems that it gets lost on the way.

Change line 1599 to read

local icon = map:AddIconPt ("!POI", wx, wy, nil, "Interface\\Icons\\" .. (folder.Tx or "INV_Misc_Note_02"))

instead of

local icon = map:AddIconPt ("!POI", wx, wy, nil, "Interface\\Icons\\" .. folder.Tx)

This should take care of the error; in the meantime we will try to figure out what happened.

I'm very much obliged to you.
Now, do not listen to loud sound negative because more errors.

I've been using Carbonite for five years and am missing all it brings to the game. I've been trying other addons in the interim and am not impressed.

Your work is appreciated...thank you.

[NightVengeance]

First of all I would like to say what a fantastic addon Carbonite is. I absolutely hate being without it though I have had to make do several times. But I absolutely LOVE Carbonite. Excellent amazing addon. <3

But the latest build has presented a huge issue in game for me. The Carbonite map and the Blizzard minimap do not blend as they should--I have two minimaps. Carbonite and the Blizzard one. And as a result I have EXTREMELY low FPS. Even with the game set on its lowest settings possible I only get 2 FPS when it's normal for me to get anywhere from 26 to 40+ depending on the zone and the amount of players on the server and such. Very distressing because it is a fantastic addon and I simply love it.

Just wanted to give the heads up, hopefully it's something easily fixed.

I had this problem too. it turned out to be moveanything when i was using a temp minimap mod. i had to reset the parts dealing with the minimap in moveanything to get it back together.

Downloaded the new release and put it in, upon logging in and loading into my (Horde) garrison I immediately had this pop up.

Error should be fixed now, experimental fix for allowing quest updates in combat again also put in place.

[Ghosthree3]

That did it, thanks.
