WoW-Pro Leveling Addon (Old)

addon brainfartAlliance, was in thousand needles. Downloaded the latest version, and as soon as I log in I get an error message. As I said though it will not allow me to copy and paste, though the message was saying the error occured in the parser lau. Don’t remember the full name of the file.

Which guide and which factionIf you can provide the faction, guide, and quest you were working on, we might be able to reproduce the error.

updated brainfartBefore the update the addon was working great, gained 7 levels in one day. However, since the update as soon as I log in I get an error message. I tried to copy and paste the message but couldn’t, the error was coming from the parser. wish I could be more helpful. Thanks for all the hard work

Ashenvale hordeHey, I dont know what happened, but the horde ashenvale guide seems pretty screwed since the update last night… I was in the middle of the guide when I did the update, but now its missing a great lot of quests that were in the previous version… Pretty annoying. I hope it’s just a wrong file in the update or something like that.

TestingAny time a PTR is up, testing is easy, as you can make a max level character and test with that

Ah, let me upgrade you toAh, let me upgrade you to Trusted Member. You should be able to edit it now. Sorry about that! 🙂

How to edithttps://wow-pro.com/node/3301 Is this the source code page you mean? How do I copy my guide into it? If I click on “fix bugs on this page” it tells me I don’t have permission to access that part of the site.

What you have is almostWhat you have is almost certainly superior to what we had for Alliance Icecrown. I give my permission for you to copy it into the source code page for that guide if you like (and it would be most helpful if you wanted to do so!). Make sure to replace the author name with your own so you get credit.I’m pretty sure the old guide was simply a straight up Tour Guide recording that one of our users did, which records a lot less information than even our recorders most basic setting, so what you have is most certainly an upgrade!

Alliance Icecrown GuideI wasn’t really happy with the questing guide the addon uses for Alliance-Icecrown, seems to me like it was copied over from an unfinished Horde-Guide (some of the QIDs were of Horde quests) so I decided to write my own and would now like to share it with you. I’m posting it here in the comments since I’m not allowed to write in the forums with my newly created account :Phttp://www.load.to/CE4l7fBmfs/79_85_Estelyen_Icecrown.zipThe guide is playtested partially since I had already completed most of the quests around the Shadow Vault (in this guide from “It’s All Fun and Games” until “Blackwatch”) before I decided to make my own guide and to test the part I already completed I would have to create a new character and level him up first 😛

I knew we could …LOL, I just corrected ~10 guides so that the RegisterGuide calls on this website were in sync with GIT.Things just have to be in the right place and be neatly put away …

Yes we can 😛 Yes we can 😛 In Vash, I’ve noticed 2 small errors, one a cord was off, the other a target “X” mob, use “Y” item, and no buttons for either 

YuckIt turns out that since auto-turnin quests never hit your quest log, the event that is used to auto complete is never seen.They need to be listed as “N” steps with an “NC” tag.   Annoying.Anyways, I ran two worgen through level 8 to test things out.  The guide needed a few other tweaks as well.(Can we say OCD?)

Thanks Thanks alot good job for the guide
Thanks!

Auto turn inI’d say yes, as we don’t need to tell a user to turn it in if it does so automatically

Now that I’ve gottenNow that I’ve gotten everything worked out, I’ve been on a nice fast track to getting my worgen towards end-game content.  These guides streamline very very well, and explain what they’re doing when they feel the need to do so.  Thanks to the creators and the WoW-Pro Addon itself!

Missing Steps in the Worgen GuideBloodFang:   I have a trial correction for the guide to add the two quests you mentioned.It turns out to be a little more involved than I expected, as [Last Chance At Humanity] is accepted and turns in automatically.Jiyambi, I used the standard “A” and “T” steps for the quest.   Is it kosher to have just an “A” step with no “T” if the quest auto-turns in? 

API CompatabilityThe public APIs pretty much work the same way.I just ran a worgen toon through to level 5 to test out the guide.   When I tried the guide in December, dreadful LUA errors and warnings about zones not being found happened. Now WowPro and TomTom seem to play nice.

Is that beta version alreadyIs that beta version already the one from TomTomLite? The map library used there (same I’m using on our arrow module) should work anywhere, including different floors of a map. Hopefully TomTom’s public APIs won’t change much…

TomTom Beta 1.2.0 Code ReviewI’ve done a review of the changes made in the beta release 1.2.0 of TomTom.All of the troublesome code dealing with (continent,zone,x,y) quads has been updated to use the new (map,floor,x,y) quads.The patches I made are superseeded by this rework.   I’ll start using it and see how it works for me.

James Whitehead II:
- Initial update to POI integration plugin
Currently, most of the old features should work properly, only there is
now a limitation that it will only work with objective waypoints that
are in your current zone, in particular with the ones on the watch
frame. I will likely change it so that the ones on the world map work
properly, but this will be in a separate commit.
- Add a function to indicate if the crazy arrow is empty
- Add a tag to make it easier to find core logic
- Fix non-zone slash command
- Updated based locale file
- Fixed slash commands for /way reset and /way

This is a bug in TomTom …I tracked down the bug in TomTom that was causing the errors in Astrolabe.  I gave some pactches to  Cladhaire (the author of TomTom), but he is not sure when he will get around to reviewing them or fixing the probem.I also had tried to get in touch with Esamynn, the author of Astrolabe, to confirm the correctness of my fixes, but he has not gotten back to me.The error will pop up in many instances or in phased zones or in maps with floors (like the drag in Orgm).  

Although it is aAlthough it is a TomTom/Astrolabe error, even Carbonite gives wrong cords in phased areas. The Deathknight start zone suffers exactly the same, TomTom throw similar errors with no arrow, Carbonite arrow point to the middle of the ocean between EK and Kal’.My hope is that the instance guide module and our own arrow allows us to fix this problem with phased zones. 

Most of Icecrown does notMost of Icecrown does not have the cords in the lua file. So unfortunately you will have to use an addon like Lightheaded for the cords, until we can get all the cords in place.

Astrolabe is a TomTom error. Astrolabe is a TomTom error.  I’m assuiming your in an error where that has no map name, such as the Worgen area.  Though I thought there was a fix to stop that from happening in the latest.

Couple of errors I sawYour addon has been great for me, however in the current zone i’m in it is flawed (Ice Crown Citadel)In the first few quests at least (im have not completed it yet) I the arrow hasn’t come up so it has been harder to find the quests.Also, the order on which I have been getting quests has been a little off of what it should be (tells me to not get a quest which is right next to me, then go back to get it) its not anything substantial as I still tells me to get all the quests before I leave.But thanks for the guide overall! It has been great!If you’d like I can keep someone posted on how the rest of the zone goes. Just lmk. thanks 

Doesn’t workIt doesn’t work for me at all. Back in WOTLK everything worked great.5 minutes ago I have been downloading the addon and TomTom and after creating a new worgen and after logging in I got a lua error.Some problem with TomTom :(I don’t get the arrow but some weired lua error message as soon as I am logged in.Seems as if the guide sends wrong coordinates or something. message:Bad argument #4 to‘Astrolabe.InterfaceAddOnsTomTomAstrolabeAtsrolabe.lua:877′ (number expected, not nil)Time : 01/28/11 11:53:02Count: 1Stack: [C]: in function ‘error’ I already tried different versions of the guide, but nothting works =/Does anybody know, how to fix this problem?

No prob, sorry for theNo prob, sorry for the confusion! I hope to get the recorder updated in the somewhat near future, but it’s midterm time again and it may be a while.

I disabled the recorder andI disabled the recorder and it all started working again.  Thanks!

Worgen Guide For WoW Pro AddonI just wanted to let someone know that in the Worgen guide, the step to accept and complete the quest “Last Chance At Humanity” is not there. Along with this i have found that the quest “Alas, Gilneas!” is not on there. I wanted to get that out there so that it could be updated and more complete. Thank you for your time and the wonderful add-on. I have been using it for only a short while and I’m already loving it.

Exactly as Gylin said!Exactly as Gylin said! Playing with the recorder on is not really ideal at the moment unless you plan to edit as you go, and unfortunately I haven’t finished the code that will make it scroll with you when stopped. If you click on a step, it will highlight it and the recorder will continue to return to that step, you can click on the next step to move on to it… if you really want to have the recorder enabled.I do need to get around to updating the recorder. Sorry about that!

Only really need the recorderOnly really need the recorder enabled if you’re writing guides, or editing them on the fly.Going by what you’ve said so far, any time you log in with the recorder enabled, any guide already loaded will jump to the last step, as the recorder is set up to record new steps which are added after the highlighted step, so it will look for the last step within any given guide.I think also you have scrolling enabled, which means that the guide window has to be manually moved on to new steps, it doesn’t autoscroll to keep up with where you are in the guide 

It says STOP, if that meansIt says STOP, if that means much.

Cannot wait to get this!!!Cannot wait to get this!!!

You’re right, if the guideYou’re right, if the guide thinks it’s supposed to be on a later step it’s certainly not TomTom’s fault – just wasn’t sure what you meant at first.Well, at this point I’m not sure what to tell you – I haven’t heard this particular issue from anyone else yet 🙁 I’ll look into it when I have time, but I’ve sadly been super busy lately and may not get a chance. Let me know if you notice anything else that might be helpful in determining the cause, though!

highlighted step?highlighted step? you wouldn’t happen to have the recorder running would you?

It’s working simultaneously. It’s working simultaneously.  The guide has a highlighted step that it likes to continuously go back to after I complete a step.I figured out that if I wheel-click and then left click, I can set a different waypoint, but it doesn’t really help me just flow into the next steps.  I still get stuck on THAT step until I wheel-click and then left click on the next step that I want it to stick on.TomTom doesn’t really feel to be the culprit here.

Suspicious Chat MessagesI’d almost bet that this person responded to a chat message saying that they needed to contact “safety_wow.com” because they had violated the economy restrictions of the game(not exact wording of the message but close). I received one of these but luckily I didn’t click on the link. I contacted WoW support & found that there is no “safety_wow.com” associated with wow. It is malware. NEVER click on ANY chat messages that claim to be from WoW, Blizzard or Battle-Net. They WILL NOT contact you ingame about your acct!  If any messages even LOOK suspicious ignore them & report them to WoW support.

Oooooo. I think IOooooo. I think I misunderstood you. It’s just the ARROW that’s skipping, not the rest of the guide?I’m still not sure why it should be doing this, but that will give me some idea of what’s happening.

It should be stated in an inIt should be stated in an in game tooltip – RIGHT-click to manually check off a step!Left click causes the addon to try to skip the step, which will in turn skip any steps that depend on it. This is INTENTIONAL for people who want to skip steps!

OUTSTANDING!!This has to be the best addon there is for quests.I just I wished I found it sooner…after slowly getting 2 other toons to 80+ without it…thank you for the great help!

Deepholm GuideFirst off, love the guides. leveled 1-82 in 5 days played because of them, theyre great. Im having trouble with the Deepholm Guide though.
 
I get to the step at the beginning to ride on the back of the Wyvern to enter the area. When I got off the bat, the step didn’t complete so I manually clicked it off. That skipped me to step 127 of the guide and made a huge list of all the quests I skipped in the middle of my screen. I would really like to solve this problem so I can use the guides again and get back on the fast track to 85.

No, I’ve never had aNo, I’ve never had a character with the same name before.  I actually only saw the problems after I upgraded to Cataclysm and upgraded all of my add-ons.Do the different guides set an auto-waypoint?  Is there a way to set/unset waypoints within the guide so that, upon completion of the current step, it doesn’t revert me back to the last step (and giving me a waypoint with that?)

Not that I know of, but youNot that I know of, but you could test by trying to load just our guide and see if the problem continues.It sounds to me like the addon thinks you have completed all of those quests before, as if their IDs are in your table of completed quest IDs. The fact that it persists after you wipe your character-specific saved variables is VERY strange, though.By any chance did you have a character with this same name before? I’ve had issues with that in the past.

I have done that, but itI have done that, but it didn’t help with the problem.  Would it possibly be add-on interference?  I have several add-ons.Atlasloot, Everyquest, AutoVendor, FlightMap, MapCoords, TomTom, WoW-Pro, and WoW-Pro Leveling.Have any of these caused problems with this add-on in the past?

Hmmm. Alright, I’ll see whatHmmm. Alright, I’ll see what I can find. For now I’d suggest deleting the character-specific and account-wide WTF for WoW-Pro and see if that fixes it.

It started in the Worgen 1-13It started in the Worgen 1-13 leveling guide.  That didn’t really bother me too much, since I just accepted every quest to open up the next set of quests.  However, it then continued to happen in Jame’s 13-20 Darkshore guide.  It had wanted me to collect the Seed of the Earth from Onu, which is halfway down the Darkshore area, and I was only just coming into the zone.  I don’t think there’s any other information I haven’t given.  But I’m not sure of any technical questions within the add-on itself.

That is very strange. Is itThat is very strange. Is it only in that one guide with that particular character, or does it happen with other guides as well?

An issue with the guidesI like the add-on, and it helps quite a bit when I’ve been able to get it to work.  However, today when I started a worgen, the leveling add-on was shifting to the bottom step of each guide and giving me a waypoint, through TomTom, to that place.  I’d remove the waypoint, move to the step of the guide where I am currently working, and keep moving.  However, each time I finish a step, the add-on would revert back to the bottom of the guide and restart the waypoint for that point.I’m unsure if this is a unique problem, but it’s a very big setback when I’m trying to use these guides efficiently.Can anyone help?

Omigorsh, I didn’t reallizeOmigorsh, I didn’t reallize that it didn’t make it into the addon, thanks for letting us know!Glad to see you’re still around Skully, don’t be a stranger! 🙂

Technically there is one, butTechnically there is one, but it was never finished. I most likely will finish it soon as I have a toon about to go through there.
