Try downloading the Wr.zip file again, there was a broken version up for a while, but it should be fixed now.

Downloading and running the installer again will update it to the latest version so it won't have to patch. Also, it would help if you could post the patch.log and startup.log file from your WowReader directory so that I could try to figure out why exactly it's happening and fix it.

Have you restarted wowreader lately? It will update the files when it's restarted.

Ok, thanks it worked. Uninstalled it, downloaded it again and reinstalled it.

After trying to download the new zip and not having it work, I did the same thing recently (uninstall/reinstall) and its working like a charm.

Yes, as far as I can tell, it's being caused by bug in WoW's quest API. If you switch from one character to another without exiting the game, you may get the quests from the previous one listed for that one. If you actually stay logged in for a bit, it should correct itself. You can try logging in the character and then moving something around in it's inventory after a few seconds to force an update.

I keep having trouble logging in, I don't get it and can't fix it. I'm sure its something really simple. What happens is I try to upload my profile and it says "Login Failed. Please check your user name and password." So I do and i click save. I've noticed that after I click save my password does not save but instead is filled in with a bunch of spaces " ". I even tried using a diff keyboard and restarted my PC and everything i could think of but to no avail. Help would be great ^_^

Is there something wrong with the calculation for +healing? I noticed at least a few profiles are wrong (less than actual). For example http://wow.allakhazam.com/profile.html?541716
#142 Apr 05 2006 at 5:28 AM Rating: Decent
Just a couple questions regarding this program, First when i install it i get this error appear:

Error during SavedVariables search using base 'C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\': Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\'

Any idea what this means and how to fix it?

Secondly if i continue to use the program i launch WoW using the W button on the program and i get this error :

This application has failed to start because DivxDecoder.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Any suggestions?

I've tried re-installing it but nothing changes just get the same two errors.

Secondary bonuses from Item Set effects isn't being calculated at the moment. I should have a fix soon.

When I try to open WoWreader, I get the message "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application."

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but when I tried to run the installer, it wouldn't run. I also tried to install the .NET framework, and I got a similar message.

My error log:

Is there a Admin person who I can call to walk me through this, or, can I email a Admin person my phone number and have them call me collect?

I have sent two seperate PM's to 2 diferent Admins, and no replies yet. (6 days ago, and 3 days ago respectivley).

I need help. I have no add-ons, as I can not get them to work. Also, I do not use macros for the same reasons. I need someone to "talk" me through this, and I do mean literally.

I am a cave man when it comes to computers. Please advise.

Respectfully,
Me. (TruthSeeker)

Edit: Okay, I just tried reinstalling WowReader just to make sure what I wrote was right. Some of it wasn't so here's a fresh guide.

Edit2: [/color] is no longer usable for breaking links or tags so I've edited it out in the section about how to enable the WowSignature. Instead I used the bold tag on the o's in wowsig so now it should be displaying properly.

First of all, get WowReader here. You can click the link and choose to run the setup without downloading it to your computer first, or you can choose to save it on your harddrive for whatever reasons you might have and then run the program from there. In any case you should get to the installation window when doing this.

Keep clicking the Next button until you get to the Install button which you also need to click in order to install WowReader of course.

WowReader will be installed on your C-drive by default, in the folder Program Files. It will not create a desktop shortcut so you'll have to make one yourself. To do this, open your WowReader folder - default C:\Program Files\WowReader - and drag the file wowreader.exe to your desktop, but remember to hold down the Alt-key when you let go of the icon. This will create a shortcut to WowReader.

Now, double click the shortcut and it will open up WowReader. Since it's the first time you're running it you need to tell it where to find the file WoW.exe. It should localise it automatically so you just need to double click the file in the window, but in case it doesn't, your WoW.exe file can be found in your World of Warcraft root directory which is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft by default.

WowReader will automatically put the needed mod files in your C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns folder, but in case it doesn't, you'll need to copy the files from the folder called uifiles found in your C:\Program Files\WowReader folder over to the C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns folder manually. Make sure you make a new folder in the AddOns folder and call it Wr.

Now you're almost ready to go. However, you need to tell WowReader your Allakhazam login and password (NOT your World of Warcraft login and password!) in order for it to upload your information. To do so, select Options from your WowReader menu found at the top of your WowReader window. Then select Login from the drop-down menu and it should open a new window. You should be set to Anonymous so make sure you click the circle with the text Log In (required for profiles). Two boxes should appear below where you need to type in your Allakhazam login and password. They should be labelled so it's easy to figure out which one is which (alternatively, the box where everything you write turns into asterisk (***) is where you need to write your password Smiley: tongue). Once you've typed in your Allakhazam login and password, click Save.

Now you're ready to play!

Since WowReader put a mod in the game you don't need to run WowReader while you play. Simply play the game and enjoy and then run WowReader afterwards. WowReader should attempt to update itself automatically every time you run it and it should display how many new profiles it has found and other useful information in the little window. To upload the information to Allakhazam.com, simply click Upload.

Now, to find your profiles here on the site you need to find the menu link called Your Characters... in the left menu. Click the link and you should be able to see an overview of the uploaded profiles. If you see a character missing chances are you haven't uploaded it. To make sure WowReader can find that character you need to login and logout of the character once. WowReader will only upload information about characters you've played.

Now, lots of people have those World of Warcraft images in their signatures that show ranks and kills etc. This is a Premium Membership feature only. To get Premium Membership, click here.

If you already have Premium Membership, this is how you can put the image in your signature:

Open up your User Account by selecting the link from the menu on your left (it's right underneath the search box). Now, in your signature box, write the following:

[wowsig]ID number[/wowsig]

To find your ID number you need to click on the desired profile in the Your Characters selection screen which is also found in the left menu. This should redirect you to your profile's page and you need to look at the link for that page. The ID number is the last numbers in the link.

For instance, the link to my druid's profile page is:

http://wow.allakhazam.com/profile.html?70509

So his ID number is 70509.

So in my case I would have to write [wowsig]70509[/wowsig] in my signature box.

That's it, now you just need to save your account information by clicking Save User Settings (button underneath the signature box).

Note that to my knowledge it is only possible to have one of those profile images in your signature at a time.

I hope this helps. Smiley: smile

Nice writeup Mazra ^^

It puts all the beginners info in one spot. Does anyone know how often the alla databases are updated? I'm assuming weekly, but just curious as some drops I got off mobs haven't yet appeared. (I'm hoping its not because I didn't get wowreader installed properly, because it seems to be working.)

Nearly instantly. Although both mob and item pages are cached for about a day.

It appears to be working for me even after the patch.

When you run WowReader is updates itself automatically. Or so it seems.

By the way, I rewrote my little guide. It should be shorter and more clear now.

Ah cool, thanks for that. Its appeared now. I'm thinking it might have been my browser cache. Wowreader appears to be working fine.
