WoW v2.0 Interface News

[Potpie]

CTMod has got fresh news - they state that CT_RaidAssist should have an update in time for tomorrow's patch to 2.0.

Cosmos has an Alpha available that claims v2.0 compatibility:

I've personally abandoned Cosmos entirely in BC Beta.

I'll post screenshots & details on my WoW v2.0 UI this evening.

Here are 2 good places I frequent for v2.0 compatible Addons:

I took Wednesday this week off. Had to use some vacation time or lose it. I'm really hoping I don't have to spend a big chunk of the day fixing Raid Manager.

I've checked out the upcoming changes and only 1 might affect me. *crosses fingers*

Raiding is going to get a bit more interesting since CastParty and Decursive at least will likely be broken until the author can either update them or we find new ways to do the same thing.

For you click-casting CastParty lovers:

I've personally not used CastParty or Decursive, but from what I gather this does similar things.

Hey War, is there any real way raid manager could be sent to Swarfy and me for testing today on the beta and give ya feedback?

You already have it, actually. There are no separate "Admin" and "Client" mods for Raid Manager. Setting one of you as master looter in a group will unlock the admin functions and automatically track raids. Just make sure you are using 1.004.

The bidding is administered from the Bid Admin window. Once you open up the loot window after a kill, don't assign the loot right away. Anything green or better will show up in the drop down list. Simply select the item, the class, set a starting bid, and open bidding. The other in the raid of the appropriate class should get the pop-up bid window.

If you want to load points into it, go to the export page on the website (http://www.hordelandsecurity.org/raidpoints/pointsExport.aspx) and follow the directions.

I have 1.04, but is there a version that you have done with the tweaks for 2.0?

When I first got into the beta I copied my Addons folder over, and each and everyone said "Incompatible". No option to even force them to load.

Did you try changing the version line in the TOC from 12100 to 20000 ?

I tried that on a couple of different mods, and while it allowed them to load, they didn't load in the game, so I wiped out and started hunting for 2.0 ones.

I can give it a shot, unless War knows of something else that needs to be changed.

That's the only change I'd start with.

The Raid Manager mod does a lot but it's mostly standard type stuff -- no real gymnastics.

At this point I haven't been on the PTR for either 2.0 or Beta. As such I haven't made any changes to RM because nothing I've seen in the released, documented changes should affect it. But Blizzard always seems to have surprises in store for us.

"Decursive continued" boasts an alpha version that is said to work w/ 2.0 on Curse.


I've followed the CastParty thing quite a bit and alpha tested 4.2 in the long period of time it took them to jump over that hurdle but the dev's seem to be more on top of the transition this time and will be updated for 2.0 by Nathan + a few new guys that helped with 4.2. They have a Google group tracking the developing http://groups.google.com/group/CastParty.

And if we don't tell everyone outside of guildies where we got it and traffic gets too insane, here's a CVS dump for you guys to enjoy.

The beta Decursive updates the live list but can't cast for you, so it IS broken (notwithstanding what I told people at lunch).

No more Decursive. Which is good and bad...

[Jazabel]

If you haven't found it yet, here's a list of updated for 2.0 addons @ Curse.

One of the mods in Potpie's suggested mod pack has a binding mod that lets you assign mouse clicks to spells. I was able to bind my normal "shift-leftclick" type binds to my heals and was able to heal non targeted people in a test raid.

So, with this mod along with X-perl's highlighting feature of who is "cursed", this can still be done.

But looking at all of this, I dont see any reason why the dev's of Decursive cant get it to work.

Some people are just more creative and willing to adapt than others? ;)

[Jazabel]

Is that Detox? I haven't had much a chance to play with it yet. Looks cool.

Oh and Clique's great. :)
