Hi
I've run into two weird problems with my mods lately that I can't figure out. So I was hoping that by posting here that someone might be able to shed some light on the situation.

Problem One: Started when I log on my Banker alt with Auctioneer loaded. The problem is that I can't shift-click item links into chat. I can't even shift-click items that are in my bags into the AH search menu for quick searching. I've gone through every menu and option that I can find in the Auctioneer set of mods and I cant figure out how to get it to work. Is it even Auctioneer that is causing the problem? Or has anyone else every encountered this problem before?

Problem Two: In the past few days I found that I can no longer track quest objectives or achievement objectives anymore as the text does not show up on my screen. I'm not sure whats changed to make this happen. The only new mods I've installed over the past few days has been SexyMap and WinterTime but I dont think that those would be the culprits. Anyone have any idea whats going on?

Here is a list of the mods that I have installed:

I can shift-click items with Auctioneer installed, so I'm sure it isn't Auctioneer that's disabling that feature. What happens instead when you shift-click an item? Nothing?

As for your second problem, I had a similar problem with simpleMinimap. The quest and achievement trackers, I found out, were anchored to the minimap, so when I moved the minimap it would also move the tracker. I had my minimap near the bottom of the screen, which caused the tracker to be off-screen. If this sounds familiar, then move the minimap upward and see if the tracker is hiding beneath it.

Sorta a simple way of going at things but try turning every mod off except a suspect mod, one at a time. When you find the mod that is causing the issue exit the game and delete the mod and all of the saved variables (contained within worldofwarcraft/wtf/...) then reinstall the mod off of a fresh update on curse, wowinterface, wowace, etc.

If that doesn't work you should have at least determined which mod it is and can then look within the mod's config for an option that alters up the shift functionality.


That should do it, so goodluck!

I've had this happen too. If this is happening to you, You can add something like:

AchievementWatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
AchievementWatchFrame:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 'TOPLEFT', 15, -15)
AchievementWatchFrame.SetPoint = function() end

QuestWatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
QuestWatchFrame:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 'TOPLEFT', 15, -300)
QuestWatchFrame.SetPoint = function() end
to the end of your minimap mods code and force the watch frames to where ever.

prospecting addon

Hi

My method of prospecting is binding prospecting to a easily available button, like "f", then
pressing the button on the selected ore stack. With autoloot on this is pretty fast, however
even this process can become tedious so i found this addon:
Expeller(curse.com link)
Which reduces 2 clicks(1 keyboard and 1 mouseclick) to a single keyboard click for each prospecting action,
which amounts to quite some clicks(30 stacks * 4)

However I find the addon confusing, no interface and "/expeller" doesn't give me any
useful information. As i tried to get it working I tried /expeller several times, also licked the one mini-map button without
a tooltip(cause none of the tooltips said "expeller" or anything simliar), and at some point the
promised macro showed up in my macro menu. This macro in itself is mysterious and simply contains "/click Expeller".
However when i use this macro it automatically selects a stack of ore and prospects it..

Since then i have tried to reproduce what i did to get it there, and I usually get it to reproduce a macro, by spamming above
alternatives, but I can't seem to pin down what i _really_ should be doing..

Can anyone with addon and/or .lua experience help me shed some light on this addon? (it claims to be based on Prospector(WoWinterface link))

I didn't have much time this morning before heading to work but I too have my map towards the bottom of the screen so I unlocked it, moved it up and turned on some quest/achievement tracking and BAM! There it was, anchored underneath my map. Thank you for the tip!

@The_Happy_Cannibal - Thanks for that code. I'll try that out when I get home tonight.

Edit - This worked beautifully. Thanks!

@Silly_Syra - Thanks for the advice. I'll try out this method as well tonight to try to isolate the mod thats causing the problem.

Edit - I ended up turning off all mods first to see if it fixed the problem and to my surprise it didn't. Turns out it was a keybind that I didnt even know about that somehow got changed. I reset it to defaults and I once again could shift click items into chat and the AH search window.

Hi,

I've used Demon (Debuff Monitor) in Burning Crusade. But for WOTLK there's no "official" update.

Some weeks ago there was an Post where a guy posted an inofficial updated version. Does anybody has an hint in which post this was?

Extensive search via the forum search did not help me :-(

For my interface, I have been using Pitbull 4.0 for my target and myself and for my party/raid setup I have been using Pitbull 3. I do this because Pitbull 4.0 has the better looking buff/debuff icons (my Pitbull 3.0 has the blizzard looking buff/debuffs).

Is there any way to make Pitbull 3 use the same looking buff/debuffs that 4.0 uses?

I had the same question a few weeks ago.

The character linked in your profile appears to be below level 10. This may account for your poor Patchwerk DPS.

I am looking for an addon which can report when a Player in the Raid is hit by a certain spell/debuff. (Note: "a player" not only me)

Example:
Lava Strike during the Sartharion,
Positive/Negative Charge during Thaddius

Right now, there are ways around this / other Addons: dying at Sarth before anything can hit you, Recounts Friendly Fire Tab for Thaddius or Failbot/failboat for certain other Encounters. But with Ulduar incoming, there are much more of these achievements. So I like to know how to analyse this during the encounter, when to call for a wipe, who did it etc.

So alltogether: Something like Failboat for Achievements

Hi (: First time posting on EJ but I've been a reader of the warlock forums since WotLK came out~ so I hope I don't get ignored for being a newbie. I used the search option to see if anything was posted on my issue and I found one post in this thread that mentioned it and so I thought it'd be the most appropriate place to post my plea for help.

I need some help/clarifications on setting up Stasiscl. From what I read, it's a Perl script that parses WoW combat logs into HTML files that you have to upload onto your own web space.

I was really confused at first because I had no idea what Perl was about, and running on Windows made it more hectic when I read that I had to install this and that. So, after reading Stasiscl's documentation, some basic Perl tutorials, and a very useful forum post on Blizzard's WoW forums~ I installed TortoiseSVN and downloaded their trunk files (?) onto my computer (before I learned how to do that, I right clicked > save link as.. for every file!). Then, I installed ActivePerl and ran the following command on DOS as stated in Stasiscl's documentation..

perl stasis add -dir C:\stasiscl\www -ver 2 -file C:\WoWCombatLog.txt
And it gave me the following error after every attempt..

"import" is not exported by the Explorer module at lib/Stasis/MobUtil.pm line 29

Can't continue after import errors at lib/Stasis/MobUtil.pm line 29
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Stasis/MobUtil.pm line 29.
Compilation failed in require at lib/Stasis/Event.pm line 29.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Stasis/Event.pm line 29.
Compilation failed in require at lib/Stasis/Parser.pm line 50.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Stasis/Parser.pm 50.
Compilation failed in require at stasis line 123.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at stasis line 123.
At first I thought I was missing some modules. This gave me a major headache as I ventured into installing-modules-help-files and started downloading and trying to install modules such as FILE::Copy (thought I had to install them in the Stasis directory haha!). Then I read somewhere that I can find out where my current modules are installed so I checked C:\Perl\lib.. and all of the modules required were there EXCEPT for HTML::Entities so I Googled that and downloaded "Entities.pm" and created a "HTML" directory for it. But the same error appeared ):

Anybody have any idea?

My problem when I used Stasiscl to get it running was that dumb me forgot to start in the right directory.
It starts in C:\Documents and Settings\<<Username>> by default.

You gotta rederict it to the right folder, so it know which code to take from. So in your case you should have your command prompt redericted to C:\stasiscl\, which is done by typing: "CD C:\stasiscl\" in the Command prompt.
After that is done, you gotta run the code by typing this:
perl stasis add -dir C:\stasiscl\www -ver 2 -file C:\WoWCombatLog.txt
That should convert the log to the HTML files you need to upload to your website.
I made myself a .bat file which starts in the right directory I just got on my desktop:
start "cmd.exe /k cd C:\stasiscl\"
I don't know if this is the problem though.

I've got it running in the right directory. The entire line looks like..

C:\Stasiscl> perl stasis add -dir C:\stasiscl\www -ver 2 -file C:\WoWCombatLog.txt
after I change directories and type in the command.

I have a question related to AG_Unitframes

How do I disable the raid frames on AG_Unitframes and make it display only my party frames???? (I just want to get rid of the raid display and just show my party frames when i'm in a raid).

Oh, and i'm also looking for a lightweight raid assistance mod (I just want to get the assistance and nothing else, no DKP, EGPG, items looted, NOTHING, just assistance).

Thanks in advance!!!

Threat Logging

Is there a Mod that Logs threat over time?

Recount would be perfect for this with the threat addon, but I haven't seen a way to make it log so that I can go back and look at details after a fight is over. Is there a way to do this, or another mod that does the same thing?

In preparation for the next patch and the addition of Duel Spec, I was wondering if there was a bar mod that will swap settings and key bind locations after a respec.
Basically, what I'm looking for is, for example, if I'm a resto shaman, I want keys 2, 3 and 4 to be HW, LHW and Chain Heal. And when I switch to elemental I want LB, Chain Lightening and Thunderstorm. Is this possible with any current bar mod via creative implementation of character profiles or some other mechanic?

BarTender4 does allow for various profiles.
However, from what Blizzard stated, in 3.1 that should be all automatic.

Ignorance can be solved with a book. Stupidity requires a shotgun and a shovel.

SimpleActionSets swaps the spells/macros that are in your action bars. It doesn't yet understand the new system of summoning a mount, so you have to equip your mounts manually.

I tried to get various versions of Bartender to work and couldn't. Though, this was a few months ago and I think bartender 4 was still in beta at that point.

In this screen shot, it shows the buff mod not showing timers for anything unless it has less than -about- 20 seconds remaining.

I'm curious on how to accomplish this with Satrina Buff Frame via filter or otherwise.

Thanks : )

Is there any way to have Bartender4 hide a bar unless you either depress a modifier (shift, ctrl, etc) or toggle something? I use one bar as a large panel of click only buttons (such as my crafting, weapon imbues), abilities that I only want to use rarely. I'd like to hide the bar at all times and display it briefly when I want one of the skills, but I cannot find how to do this. I see Bartender4 has several options for visibility, but I do not know how to operate the custom conditionals. Any advice?
