@Rollie - Cataclysm version?

Post by Balgair »

Addons have apparently been enabled in Cataclysm beta now, so do you have a Cataclysm version pending? I'm not in myself on my own account, but my bf is so I tend to "borrow" his pc when he's at work - curious to see how many are playing the new race/class combinations already, and obviously original Censusplus won't be showing them. Happy to betatest the addon as soon as you've got a prototype! :)

Btw, new lowbie zones are awesome! Avoiding spoiling too much for myself, but having run through Durotar, Mulgore and Northern Barrens, I predict I'll own a heck of a lot of alts when this gets released, loving it so far :)

Edit: thought I'd try running the live Censusplus version on the beta server to see what errors I can report straight off... primary error is it's not working at all! Addons management recognises it, has it checked and load out of date addons turned on, but no sign of it ingame, no minimap button, nothing when I type /censusplus etc.

I haven't gotten Beta invite either, but the answer interests me as well. Especially since Cataclysm will require work on the site in addition to the addon itself.

I just hope Rollie (and his family) are ok, as there hasn't been a sign of Rollie for quite a long while now. No posts, nobody has "kicked" the image server, etc... *worries* Even a "Sorry, super busy." sort of message would be comforting.

Yeah I'm a bit worried too, hopefully he's just really really busy, but will reappear in time to fix up things soon!

Been playing with the addon files, and can understand the lua code enough to maybe patch together a version that'd possibly record new races/classes, at least it looks selfexplanatory... unfortunately with my basically nil knowledge of addons, I haven't a clue how to make it load in the first place... :P Done the obvious changes in the TOC etc, no help, only thing that has happened of note is that there is a very barebones censusplus.lua in savedvariables, so it's kinda doing something, I guess - can't do anything with the addon though, nothing works ingame with it.

I glad, someone brought this up before me. ;-)

Anyway, when Cata is released, I expect an updated version of CP is also released AT THE SAME TIME!

2 years ago, when WotLK came out, CP didn't come out for another 46 hours (if memory server me right), which meant MANY LOST UPDATES, as several people was already level 74+ before a working version was released..
This must not happen again.

I don't know if Rollie have an account on www.wowinterface.com, but if he have, go pick up your beta-key ASAP --> www.wowinterface.com/community.php
Doing census mainly on Draenor; Raluf - Nimsay - Lusmo - Quixx - Sosyan - Garthog - Trubin - Zalistra - Zesmi and Djaang

Yeah, certainly hope there'll be one in time! I've been having a shot at fixing it but nah, it's loaded according to WoW, but it won't do a thing - search and replace on the variables that have been removed didn't help, and that's as far as my nil programming knowledge can take things :(

Edit some hours later, well, it opens and does the /whos, but doesn't save anything and has a million errors lol. The fun of knowing absolutely zero about how to fix lua code; I'm assuming I'm the only person round here that's got beta access, so nobody with a bit more knowledge can fix it? ;)
