Subject: Addons that have issues with 1.7 Patch |
| |
I realize it is early and people have just started testing, but I thought I would post what it took me 50 minutes to find. May save you some time.
The following addons cause WOW to crash to desktop at 50% of loading character:
Nymbia's Perl Unitframes
MultiAssist
PoisonMaster
The following don't work:
FishingBuddy
QuestION
The following work partially with errors:
TipBuddy

These are all indicative of bugs in the addons, but at least they won't crash in the next test realm update.
Thanks!

Q u o t e:
It seems several addons use the fontHeight function, and the engine no longer cooperates with it.
By that, I mean it causes the whole game to explode in a spectacular manner while the UI is loading. ;)
EDIT: I think this is a problem with a lack of communication on Blizzard's part. They've removed an important function from the engine, and many Addons will have to be changed as a result.
fontHeight isn't a function, it's the game asserting that a font has been set on a message box when one hasn't. The next test realm update won't crash in this case, but you won't see any text in these messageboxes.

The problem with MultiAssist was that it specified a backdrop that had a bgFile, but no edgeFile.
Edit: The game will handle this in the next test server update, BTW.[ post edited by slouken ]

And like I said, you won't even need to do this once 1.7 is live.
