WowReader status and help threadFollow

If your profile stopped updating since the patch, make sure the in-game portion is still being loaded by using /wver. If you dont get a message saying what version is running, you'll have to use the ui addons button at character select and make sure its not disabled there.

For the EU version, only profiles can be uploaded at the moment, due to some problems with detecting the actual language of the client, as opposed to just checking NA or EU.

>> I also want to ask if its intentional to download a patch.xml each time Wowreader is started?

Yes, thats how it checks if theres an update available.

This is not a bug or anything of that nature, but is there a way we could have wr save the data for all chars that way when I go to upload new stats for my chars I dont have to log in and out of each of them. I am not sure what I am suggesting is a mass upload but maybe a drop down where you can sollect which one you want to upload.

Hi,

I can't upload a char: http://wow.allakhazam.com/profile.html?76158
(realm: Gul'Dan; guild: Portalwächter; name: Rahja)
But I can upload another on the same realm _without_ a guild with umlauts inside: http://wow.allakhazam.com/profile.html?78249


greetings, Till

I have tried to upload my char info it tells me it is then says I have wrong password, where do I do the pw update or check that I have the right pw?

same problem here ... it seems to refuse working with "ü" "ä" "ö"

then you get a blank profile.

Hi, my profile is always blank (just char name and gild name are shown).
Playing on EU-Gilneas (german client, german realm)
Class: Priester
Race: Mensch
Profile: http://wow.allakhazam.com/profile.html?75467

The profile from an alt char was once shown correctly and that was with a german "Umlaut" in the name lol...Umlaut was "ae"

Hi,

my profile (Darkchylde) is blank, too. I´m using the german client on a german server (Aegwynn).

In my savedvariables.lua stands the following:

["class"] = "Schurke",
["race"] = "Untoter",

Translation would be Rogue als class and Undead as race.

Strange thing, I started a new character today, same server, same client, but instead of a undead rogue I started an troll priest. Without wanting it, I uploaded his profile and this profile works fine... Name is Darkus.

I have this same problem, and uninstalling/reinstalling using whatever the latest files are is not working. Here's the log of what the program is trying to do:

As you can see, everything works fine up until the program tries to rename the file that it recently started running - which we all know is impossible... For whatever reason, it starts _wowreader.exe after creating it, then tries to rename itself. If there is no need for an update, why go through the steps?

Also, it's been hanging until I click somewhere on the screen - it does the first update check, then when it's done, does another one that ends in the error. It won't do the second check until I click somewhere on the desktop.

Edit: correction - it will do it without the clicks, it just takes a really long time.

Hope that's enough info to get it fixed.

This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #0 (0x85100000)
Program: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe
File: C:\build\buildWoW\WoW\Source\Client.cpp
Line: 1482
Expr: "!"Failed to open archive"", path = "..\Data\model.MPQ"


WoWBuild: 4297


this is what i get if i click the (W) icon in wowreader to launch warcraft. happens everytime, ive deleted the folder and reinstalled wowreader, same thing. if i run wow.exe manually wr addon works fine and updates fine, just kinda annoying to run wow.exe manually insted of clicking on wowreaders launcher. This started since the 1.3.1 patch.

Great, for me it works now with a german client playing a human (Mensch) char. Good job, thumbs up m8

My character profile lists an incorrect amount of mana, due to an incorrect amount of INT being recorded. I'm a gnome mage, so I'm assuming that WoWReader isn't calculating the Expansive Mind racial bonus (+5% bonus to INT).
