WowReader status and help threadFollow

>> 1) because a console version can be automated. i can make a nice simple script that runs my upload after each session for me.

You might consider just leaving it running minimized. It periodically polls the mtime on SavedVariables.lua, and uploads new data when its changed (but only after wow is exited).

>> 2) because i dont have .net framework installed on most of my windows machines

Is there some reason its a big deal to install it on boxes you play wow on? You can just get it right through windows update, or let wowreader's installer download it if it detects it as missing.

>> 3) because either of those (console .net, graphical non-.net) would work in linux, or even be emulatable on a mac

Console .net version wouldnt work in linux (i assume you mean by running it with mono) because it requires a native win32 dll for lua parsing. A non-.net version would, as I said, require completely rewriting it from scratch. Releasing the source is not an option.

A mac port is still underway.

Console .net would work fine in linux, I can emulate the dll.

Does wowreader work with the Euro WoW version ?

Releasing the source is not an option

^^-- security through obscurity at its best

Yes, and thank you Mandavar. It helped us identify some of the character encoding and translation issues with German and French profiles. We should be able to support German and French profiles shortly.

Sparr: its nothing to do with security, I'm pondering your argument for releasing the source. Meanwhile as part of the mac port, I might be able to deliver a command line version.

Is anyone else having issues with the profiles updating automatically? My profiles have not been updated in over 2 weeks though I regularly run the WoW reader after every session. I have verified that my login and password information is present and correct but still no updates. Any ideas?

Edit
I did the /wver and confirmed WoW reader 1.52 is loaded.

Hi guys,

WoW Reader appears to be doing what it's supposed to, but my character isn't showing up on the site - "Your Characters" remains empty.

I've tried with two separate installs now, and same problem. I run WoW Reader, everything updates and looks right etc - I run WoW, get the "WoW Reader Loaded" with correct version etc. Quit the game and upload - the upload appears to work just fine, but no character actually appears on the site...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ryan

WoW installed a new patch today and when I ran WowReader it had an error due to unexpected version I suppose. Is there a update in the making and is it automatic or do I need to hunt for it.? :)

Thanks.

My Wowreader is saying it's uploading data, but my characters aren't updating on the site.

never mind everything is fine now - thanks =)
