Question about add ons in 2.0Follow

#1 Dec 07 2006 at 3:11 PM Rating: Decent
Ok, first, sorry if there is a post about this already, but I can't seem to find one with my question, if there is a post please, link it to me. Thanks.

Ok, I know most add ons are on testing phase and stuff, but I was wondering about this message I got from using certain add ons.

(Place name of add on here) has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI.
You can disable this add on and reload the UI.


Ok, first time I saw this was while using quick loot, suddenly got the message, and gave me 2 options, disable and ignore. I choosed ignore, and the add on kept working normally, yet 2 bodies later got the message again. GAH OK, I disabled the add on.

Next, I got a worn lock box, and then I tried to unlock it, opened my spellbook and abilities menu, selected pick lock, and WHAM, now it has a problem with SEA, selected ignore and can't lock pick, ok nothing to worry, i place the pick lock icon in an action bar, yay i can select it, when I try to unlock the box, now it says AllInOneInventory is blocked...

Well, i gave up and proceed to disable AllInOne, then tried again, and got a disable SEA, then tried again and got a disable Chronos, tried again, disable thottbot..

So anyways, I wanted to know if that's because the add ons are still on testing phase, or they gonna get owned for real, or if there is a way to override that Blizzard message.

I can live without all in one inventory and quickloot. But SEA manages some other things I use and I like.

Thanks for any reply.

We are just going to wait a few weeks and see which addons get updated. The only one I am loading right now is the updated CTMod. I just deleted everything else. There are a lot I am missing right now. Hope Auctioneer is one of the first to be finished.

You know, where CTmod comes from. The first site that pops up when you google it....

It's updated and working.

Back to the original topic. I saw this too with the new Quickloot. I just click ignore each time, never given me a 2nd addon that's "Being blocked by Blizzard"

It works fine otherwise, so not sure exactly what can be getting blocked..

The new stuff from the last patch aren't compatible with some add-ons, because the add-ons try gain control over the game on few features.
In your case, with the new patch, now we have a built-in auto-loot option on the Interface Options, so, it get conflicted with the auto-loot add-ons, who tries to do the same thing the game does, and that's why it asks you to disable the add-on or cancel the action.
I had problems also when I tried dismiss my minion, it said the MetaMap add-on was trying to do something exclusive to the game system now, and it was the auto-unmount feature when you ride a bat/griphon.
On that case, just disable the add-on and wait for a new version of it. Several add-ons got updated yesterday (12/07) and seem to be working now. Some will be working soon.

I've also seen this message.

When I select another user and choose 'duel', this message appears, complaining about Titan bar. I've upgraded Titan to the latest, supposedly 2.01 compatible, so any idea why would this message be appearing?

Curse-gaming has a section of updated mods here. The site has a LOT of traffic though, so be prepared to be frustrated by loading screens and general poor site performance.

It's updated and working... but still buggy. Whenever: a raid member dies, a raid member zones, a raid member gets rezzed, or a raid warning is given, CT_Raid induces lag. Only for a split second, but annoying enough for me to unload the thing. Problem occured with all raid members using the mod in my experience, and the version updated yesterday did not fix it. Use at your own risk or wait for them to fix the bugs.

I was also getting a lot of popups at the bottom of my screen due to CT_BuffMod. A lot of the time when a Shaman would put down a totem or other such thing. Something to do with a parent.

A release last night was supposed to fix the lag issue.

www.curse-gaming.com has dozens of add-ons updated for the latest patch. A lot of them have been updated in the last 24 hours, so rest assured that the authors are sacrificing their careers, families, and social life to keep you on-line.

Yes, indeed, the new CT Mod is up and running well! It took me a bit to figure out how to install it, but once I did, everything went smooth from there. Just remember, when you download it from CTmod.net, save it in your addons folder in your interface folder in your WoW program file folder and unzip it from there. If you just save it in your WoW folder, it will not work (found out the hard way!). Thanks again to everyone who helped along the way.

I got annoyed by this, I was trying to go farming for herbs and I couldn't turn on locate herbs without getting 2 or 3 of those messages concerning mods that I already updated. I really like the options blizz has given us but they could have at least left action bar mods and boss mods alone (those were the ones I was getting messages for) Oh well, I will just suck it up and keep playing.
