Rawr (v2.3.23 released on 9/12) - Page 45

Anyone have a way to get Rawr running on linux (Ubuntu specifically) ?

I recently switched to Ubuntu and the only thing I really miss so far is Rawr :P

I tried to get it working through Wine, but as I'm new to linux I might be doing something wrong.

No, not quite what I mean.

I'd much rather have a way to manually set/unset items to be considered for the upgrade list rather than filtering by instance or ilevel. (Filtering on ilevel doesn't work anyway due to the overlap of ZA over other raids anyway. For example, Mana Attuned Band has the same ilevel as Ring of Captured Storms from Naj'entus in BT.) It requires more work for me, the end user, but I'm fine with that since it allows more flexibility. Also, I think that adding some sort of filtering mechanism would require far more implementation than a manual selection method.

You need to install the package libmono-winforms2.0-cil, everything else should be there allready in the default installation.

since updating the item cache of Rawr 14.1 I keep getting the "Rawr encountered an error while attempting to load a saved image." error - I found a (much older) post on this and a reply saying it has something to do with inconsistencies with items on the Armory, but couldn't figure out much else

is there a way to find out which items are causing this error so I can remove them from the item editor? having to click away this error box about 10 times everytime I open the item editor and/or start typing into the search box is really getting annoying. Or is sticking to the default item cache supplied with Rawr 14.1 the only way for now?

Thanks, that did it! It's working.

Edit: Eh I spoke too soon I suppose... It worked once, but now it wont start again.

If I try to start it with:
wine '(path)/rawr.exe'
I get this error:
"install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables"

Edit2: Ok, so I downloaded the windows version of Mono and installed it using Wine. Now I another error instead. will do some more digging...

ignore - Figured it out.

I'm pretty sure it does - items with spellhit or spellhit gems come out on top well after 13% +hit chance unless I make sure to give my mage template 3/3 in Elemental Precision. If you're not convinced, you should be able to test this yourself pretty easily, make two character files with and without 3/3 EP and see how your DPS changes

What exactly do you mean by 'updating the item cache of Rawr 14.1'? That error means that for some reason, it's not able to read one of the images (item icons) that it's saved locally. Most likely you just got some corrupt images or something. Try deleting your 'images' folder, and replacing it with the one from the 14.1 release zip. Or you can try just opening the images folder, and looking to see if any of them are obviously broken. They should all be 2-4k files... If you see any 0k or 1k files, that's probably a good indication that they're corrupted.

I downloaded Rawr 14.1, unpacked it, ran it, no error when I used it (I did import a character file from Rawr 14 or 13 with no issues) - updated item cache and after that everytime I open the item editor I get this error

I now checked the images folder, there's two files, inv_shoulder_89.jpg and inv_shoulder_96.jpg that aren't valid image files. I deleted them, but Rawr keeps re-creating them and throws the error again.

Edit: The two broken files are being created only after I open the item editor. By replacing the broken images with numbered placeholders I figured out the icons belong to all the Sunwell Plateau shoulders (I notice these don't have icons on wowarmory.com either) - also serves as an acceptable workaround for me atm

I've been having the same error since 14.1 as well, thought it was because I tried to merge my old files with the new (i.e. hold on to the character.xmls and the images, and I think the itemcache), so I completely wiped the old version and reinstalled. It worked for a little while, past a couple of runs to the armory to update info, but then started throwing the error again. I haven't tried just deleting the images folder yet, will do when I get home.

Astrylian · 05/22/08, 2:03 PM

Interesting... Yep, looks like the Armory has those shoulders in its database, but NOT its images, which is pretty broken...

Mjg · 05/22/08, 6:01 PM

I'm sorry if it has already been mentioned, but when adjusting Rawr Bear to a lower level mob than 73 threat values still reflect the hit cap for a level 73 mob. While not a huge bug by any means, might be something to look at for the future.

Hit Caps:

Level 70 mob: 5.0%
Level 71 mob: 5.5%
Level 72 mob: 6.0%

Astrylian · 05/22/08, 6:14 PM

Thanks, I'll see about getting that fixed.

Saphirox · 05/23/08, 10:44 AM

First of all, great tool. Now, considering we can now buy gems from the badge vendor, is there any way we could incorporate these gem alternatives to reflect dps changes in gear that is obtained from T6 but gemmed from sunwell/badge vendor?.

Quick example is t6 mage robe wich used to be gemmed with three 12spd gems but now we see two hastegems and a blue spd/sta gem to get the socketbonus as a more common choice amongst endgame mages. It would be great if upon iconclick Rawr would suggest your already existing gear with the different new gems to show how that could increase your dps.

Tools | Edit Items... | Add... | 35760 | OK | OK

Now fill in the values for the item.

35760 = Reckless Pyrestone

Edit: Actually this gem is included in the item cache of Rawr 14.1
