Anyone using this mod? Seems quite a few people recommend it here so I tried to install it.
Problem is WoW won't load when i try. I tried to remove all my other addons and only have this, but that doesn't help.

Not sure if it has to do with the new patch.

By not loading I mean that it freezes at the loading screen where the bar at the bottom of the screen is showing. Indicating the loading. (Not sure how to explain this)

Just want to know if anyone else got the mod working right now. Thanks.

Link to the mod: http://www.wowace.com/files/BananaBa...35133.1018.zip

Does it freeze your entire pc? I have seen this freezing for a while now (even pre patch), and never thought it was related to an addon.

Same problem, get about a quarter of the blue load bar, and game freezes. No idea why.

Deleted it, redownloaded, tried newer versions.

Didn't see a config file to delete in my WTF.

Yeah. Depending on how many mods you have the blue load bar gets further, but then "No responding" from WoW.

I was having some issues with bananabar, though I can't fully recall everything. It involved the TabletLib & FubarPlugin-2.0 libs. Also I think ArenaMaster was causing some problems because of tabletlib too. I actually had though I had disabled bananabar, but last night was pleasantly surprised to see it enabled & working fine for our raids.

I believe if you comment out "AceLibrary("FuBarPlugin-MinimapContainer-2.0"):AddPlugin(self)" in OnInitialize() (line 931 on mine) it'll handle the fubar issues.

As for the tabletlib issue, I don't recall what actually fixed things, it was some combination of disabling arenamaster, and possibly using imbedded libs for bananabar instead of external libraries, or something -- sorry I can't be more specific, I'll check my install this evening & post how things are setup if needed.

I'm using it without issue, just make sure you update all your addons to minimize complications. One thing that I have noticed is that BB2 uses a very large amount of memory, 14 MiB but seems to use very little processor time. Don't know what to make of it, but I was surprised that one addon is accounting for 25% of my UI memory...

Just downloaded this mod from the wowace updater, getting to WoW doesn't load problem aswell.

It Looked promising, but i guess it hasen't been updated in months. Are there any other mods for targeting raid icons?

The reason it is using so much memory is because it is probably the first Ace2 addon you are using. Therefore it is getting blamed for all of the Ace2 libraries that are being used. In effect it's being 'blamed' for a good quantity of memory that nearly every Ace2 addon you are using.

The original banana bars was one of the most usefull raid addons I used pre 2.0. Is there any new mod that has a similar function? (targeting things based on raid icon)

It's no longer possible to do so, you could make a mod that tracks which raid icons are set to which targets, but you would be unable to click the mod to target a mob based on it's raid icon.

I've noticed that Bananabar is saving on his configuration file every single target that you have assigned an icon since you installed it.
I've recently cleared that list and now Bananabar is using very less memory than before .... for the moment
