Hey,

For Beta Testers, what mods did you find that worked (sort of)?

I just started:

working

One Bag (one Error, but working)
OmniCC (one Error, but working)

not working

Baggins (no Error), not working (nothing happends)
Pittbull (Error), was appearing, but I got an Error that appeared every 0,5 Sek, so not working for me

Pitbull works if you turn the aura module off in its settings.

Closetgnome works.

Thanks for both of them!

Quartz is currently working fine for me without having to turn off any features. The only problems I'm having are with configuration. I'm assuming this is because 3.0 changes the way AddOn settings are stored, apparently "some" settings are/can now reside server side.

For those that are interested, there's an informative post on the US WotLK Beta forum (UI + Macro section) that lists all working mods. Link: WoW Forums -> Functional Add-ons

Tip: If you find that an AddOn is working (as in it displays or functions) but you can't configure it to your needs try this:

• Load the AddOn in the live release of WoW
• Configure it to your needs
• Close/logout of wow to commit the changes
• Find the SavedVariable file associated with the addon and open in WordPad
• Do a find and replace with "Your Realm Name" to change to "You Beta Realm Name"
• Do a find and replace with "Your Live Character Name" to "Your Beta Character Name"
• Copy the Lua file into the WotLK equivalent folder (replace if neccessary)

This is what I did with PitBull and Quartz as the Ace2 config window kept throwing errors.

Pitbull seems to work, except it appears to bug the chat so you can't write/read the chat.

WoW Forums -> Functional Add-ons

That post over on the US beta forums seems to be off to a good start for listing these things.

The list on the US forum seems to have a mistake or two. Last night I installed MobHealth and it worked fine with IceHUD. I used JWoWUpdater to install them and haven't noticed a problem yet. Also, you can config IceHUD in-game without problems (just type /icehud to bring up the config screen).

Power Auras Classic seems to work fine in the beta. Which is particularly nice for Blood DK's thanks to all the proc-based buffs, particularly if you want a more obvious visual cue for something like Death Trance or maybe even Scent of Blood.

I'm using the latest ItemRack and OmniCC on beta...both seem to be working but the "Options" folder for both are red on the list, no idea why. I guess I should check their TOC to see if its at 3xxx.

Chatter is working decent but there are issues with it: it doesn't allow you to access any options in the chat tabs once installed. The default UI has a variety of bugs right now as well (ie ESC key not closing most windows, significant FPS drop with dynamic shadows turned on and opening UI panels)

MobSpells is a very nice have against new creatures.

The first batch of author names (from our author beta key give-away) is being sent in to Blizzard today, so *hopefully* they should start seeing their keys within the week (no promises from me though).

Once they are in and can start working on their mods, expect to see our WotLK Beta download category to start getting busy. So, what can you do to help? Check out mods in that category, see if they work properly or not. If they don't, give the authors as many details as you can as to what isn't working, what errors you get, etc, either as comments on the download page of that mod, or in the special forum we made for them.

Today's build broke Quartz.

Ace2 got screwed over by the patch, it's supposedly fixed now, you should use a SVN client to pull the branch WotLK version and replace it wherever you need it...

Thanks for the info, basically this fixed my baggins/quartz/grid

Make sure you all replace the libs in within your actual addon folder ie. /addons/grid/libs (Not sure if this is the correct way to do this, howver it worked for me)

Looking foward to some of the new ace3 stuff to test out on the beta, so any news on them would be nice.

Is there any place to get pre-packaged functional versions of things like Quartz and Grid with the appropriate libs already updated? I can use an SVN client if I must, but it certainly would be easier to just download a wotlk-compatible .zip of the mod and throw it in my Addons dir.

The fix got pushed to trunk so just run WAU and you'll get the fix.

Isn't Mobhealth a bit redundant now with the addition of the mobs health to the targetunitframe in the base UI ?

Was it "working " because of this change or was it really working ?

Some mods (but relatively few) are in the WotLK category on WoWI

His point was that the default UI now exposes the health of mobs, so MobHealth isn't required.

So? My point still stands: IceHUD only shows the mob health if the addon is installed. If the default UI shows the health of the mob is irrelevant in this matter until IceHUD is updated to make use of the new API (if there is one, didn't check that yet).

Couple of quick questions. I've read the thread on WoWForums and here.

Is there a working Bar mod that people have tried? (Bartender3?)
Is there a working mod like MoveAnything? (Does Skinner serve that purpose?)

Finally, is there a way using the SVN repository to do the equivalent of

cvs co -r WOTLK /wowace

I can check out each of the modules individually, but my svn-fu is rather weak.

I can confirm the following works (minus a few bugs) in their current state:

- Pitbull
- Recount
- CooldownTimers2
- Chinchilla
- Omen
- Fubar
- Chatter (Fixed for beta - http://wow.tachyonsix.com/beta/Chatter-r79024-wotlk.zip)


Haven't found a working bar mod yet. Although it appears bartender4 works somewhat.. if you copy the WTF settings from live, your bars (at least mine) work as normal.. but you cannot edit any options and the bars are invisible.

There are a couple working mods similar to move anything. Both FluidFrames and nDragIt appear to be functioning correctly.

My chatter broke with todays patch.

edit - in fact, all my mods broke.
