Patch 3.1.0 Addon Update

Submitted by Jiyambi on Wed, 2009-04-15 06:18.
  • addon

 

4.75
Average: 4.8 (4 votes)

Update!

  • Tour Guide new version available!
  • TomTom new version available!
  • Our WoW-Pro addons have NOT been updated, but they should work fine, you just need to click "Load out of date addons" in the upper right corner of your addon screen, at the character selection screen.

Thank you everyone for being patient, I know it's very annoying not to be able to use the guides! Also, thanks to those who have helped by posting update links and temporary fixes.

If WoWInterface is still being buggy:

It looks like Cartographer *might* have a working update, but it may still have some bugs as well. Cartographer is a somewhat bulky map addon that provides an arrow just like TomTom's, so if you folks are desperate to get it working again, this is an option. The newest version can be downloaded here.

From Maw:

    As TomTom is not working, a thing you could do is to enable "waypoints" in the Cartographer menu. Then that waypoint function will make waypoint for you everytime a new coordinate appears in the guide. A red cross will also be shown at the map at the named location. You can also simply type /way xx,yy when you come to a new step and a new coordinate is mentioned in the guide, and then a waypoint will appear, though no red cross on the map.

Having an issue

Submitted by Anehum on Fri, 2009-05-08 00:38.

Okay so recently I've been running into an issue. I can load the wow-pro guides perfectly fine on my alt mage on my main server, but recently I created a horde toon on another server and for whatever reason it won't load the wow-pro guides. It only happens on that char, and I would really appreciate some help with this =)

Thank you

If your mains are alliance,

Submitted by Jiyambi on Fri, 2009-05-08 00:46.

If your mains are alliance, that means you don't have the Horde version installed - there are two separate versions of the guide, one for Horde and one for Alliance.

If that's not the problem, then check and makes sure that on the new server, you have "Load out of date addons" enabled, I think it could be different preferences for different servers.

Hellfire Horde Guide

Submitted by Flinger on Thu, 2009-05-07 20:36.

Hi.
First i would like to congratulate James for these fabulous guides. Leveled a couple of chars using them already and is swift.

I'm leveling a DK now, so i decided to guive the addon a shot. Started doing the Hellfire guide, and it was all smooth until i fly to spinebreaker post.
After delivering the quest, the guide gives me no more indications about the quests. It just contains the indications of the zones i should go to next.
Not shure if that's intended, or if the guide is unfinished, or perhaps something broken.

Odd Problem...

Submitted by Seattle.Will on Wed, 2009-04-22 00:57.

When I load the Tourguide addon and the Alliance Guide at the same time, the Tourguide itself disappears, and so does the green arrow. When I load only the Tourguide, it shows up but obviously is pointless since I cant use the guide.

I deleted the old versions of Tourguide, TomTom, and Lightheaded, then re-installed the new ones, so I have no idea whats going on.

That is a very odd problem. Try opening the Tour Guide options under your interface options (use escape to get there). There should be a way to reset it to the default position, this might help. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas Sad

Blizzard broke this

Blizzard broke this functionality when they added their own version of it. Your in game quest trackers should now have item buttons on it. You can also move the in game quest tracker around. The options are in your interface options menu somewhere.

ARRRRGHHHH.....

Submitted by Marillion on Thu, 2009-04-16 16:44.

OK, I have

1. Deleted the old Tour Guide and downloaded the newest one available

2. Deleted TomTom and downloaded the newest one available

3. Deleted Lightheaded and downloaded the newest one available

I have not seen a new Wow-pro guide to download for 3.1. The latest Wow-pro leveling guide that I have still shows as out of date in my add-ons screen. I tell the game to load it anyway. Tour Guide does NOT list and Wow-pro guides, neither in the interface tab under guides, nor when I right click the small tour guide HUD and select guides.

Please help, because I've been doing my best to bug-test the latest version, but I WANT TO PLAY MY TOON!!!! Smiling

Hmmm, the guides should load based on what you've said. I've done the same things, and my WoW-Pro guides are loading fine. I'm on the Horde side. And I think I've heard it working for people on the Alliance side as well.

I just don't know what else to have you trouble-shoot from here, perhaps Jahwo can provide some insight.

From the Alliance

Submitted by Lanessar on Thu, 2009-04-16 21:57.

Yes, it works for Alliance Guides as well, albeit with some strange behavior in TG. Bothing breaking though.

My suggestion is to delete your WTF file after backing it up, then make sure that your config file was deleted as well.

If that doesn't work, and you are running Vista, make sure you have UAC turned off, install the addins to c:.../Username/Public/Games/World of Warcraft... etc. as WOW now draws from a different location in Vista.

At the character selection

Submitted by ZacHowland on Thu, 2009-04-16 16:37.

At the character selection screen, there is a button in the lower left-hand corner labeled "Addons". Click it. There will be a screen that displays showing you a list of all your addons (and which ones are out of date). Select the checkbox at the top that says "Load Out-of-date Addons".

You can do that for all of your characters individually, or all at once in that screen.

Downloaded the above version of TourGuide but it still says v 3.09.48 when I check it. I even deleted the previous TourGuide folder and tried reinstalling from the above link.

When I load WoW, I get an error saying:

For moving the WoW folder, Im not 100% if you can just move it, I think WoW asked me to do it at some point and I just clicked "OK".

The XPerl problem has been fixed in the most recent update (I use it as well), go to Curse and download the newest one to fix it.

Moving the WoW folder

I just copied mine from Program Files. I went to Users\Public and then created a folder called Games. Then copied and pasted the World of Warcraft folder over.

so, you should get be in C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft

I left the old one in the Program Files just in case but it worked perfectly. Only problem is that I had to redo my interface.

Submitted by Arannar on Thu, 2009-04-16 03:53.

I really have no clue what's wrong, but try this: Open up the folder where your addons are stored, look for "TomTom" delete it, and the .rar file that you extrated it from. Go to www.wowinterface.com and look for their list of updated addons, Jiyambi has a link on the front page download it, extract, you should have TomTom-rrsomthing as the title double-click that and you'll see a folder that says "TomTom"
right-click it and choose "cut", then go to the folder hwre your addons are stored and paste it. If that doesn't work then you'll just have to rely on Cartographer, sorry if this wasn't of any help to you.

Where your addons are depends on what operating system you use. Check the installation section of this page for the location of your addons, I don't feel like typing it all out again. I will eventually get a FAQ up that shows this.

As TomTom is not working, a

Submitted by Maw on Wed, 2009-04-15 21:09.

As TomTom is not working, a thing you could do is to enable "waypoints" in the Cartographer menu. Then that waypoint function will make waypoint for you everytime a new coordinate appears in the guide. A red cross will also be shown at the map at the named location. You can also simply type /way xx,yy when you come to a new step and a new coordinate is mentioned in the guide, and then a waypoint will appear, though no red cross on the map.

This is a temporary solution which, atleast for me, works perfectly fine with Joana's In-Game leveling guide. I'm not completely sure if this'll work with TourGuide, but I think so.

Hope this helps to someone that wishes to level on even under these rare conditions.

EDIT: Make sure to have TomTom disabled when doing this.

EDIT 2: Noticed after writing this that Jiyambi has already said some of this, if she didn't add it (really fast) after I wrote this Sticking out tongue

Differences between TG and the regular guides

Submitted by mavet on Wed, 2009-04-15 10:27.

I have used Jame's guides to level a number of toons. I have now tried the new add on version.

First of all, the sequence of quests is not the same. In some cases, it is more efficient, in others less.

For example, in the original allie guide for the Borean Tundra, you suggest jumping down the hole to get the escort quest. In the addon, you do the escort after getting the quest to kill the guy in the lake. This is an improvement.

On the other hand the series of quests with the bots and the pumping station is not as well done as in the original written guide.

This is just a comment. Thanks for the great work on both formats.

TourGuide 3.1.0 Fix

Submitted by freastro on Wed, 2009-04-15 08:16.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can update TourGuide yourself:
1) Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad.
2) Open "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\TourGuide\Broker.lua". (You may have to change "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All files (*.*)".)
3) In the middle of the file, change "QuestWatch_Update()" to "WatchFrame_Update()".
4) Save. Then reopen WoW (if it's already open, type /reloadui).

Tekkub said he's already made the change and will release a new version of TourGuide shortly.
