WowReader Issues and HelpFollow

Whenever I try to load WowReader, I get this error:

Unhandled exception log - 7/25/2005 7:05:55 PM

C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\

I've already tried reinstalling.

I only seem to find questions asking for a Mac Version, but no answer from anyone involved in the project.

So what's the current state?

Is there no place where i could just link to my savedvariables.lua file instead of this Windows-Download-Hassle to update my characters?

I paid 20 bucks to use this site to full extend but i guess i missed the thing about windows only .o)

an answer of some kind isnt too much... is it?

First I think WowReader is a great tool. I use Allakhazam all the time to check quests and other things (I also encourage anyone who uses it regularly and can afford to to become a member).

One thing I would really love to see on the quest descriptions is a list of the factions raised for completing the quest. I would think it is possible for WowReader to capture this since there is an addon in CosmosUI that is able to trace reputation changes.

This would be real handy for someone who is trying to build up reputation with one particular faction. I have a dwarf hunter who would love to get to exhaulted with Darnassus, and being able to search for quests that raise that faction would be great.

Just on a side note I find it annoying that quests for say Stormwind will typically add a little reputation increase to Ironforge and Gnomeregan Exiles (called "spillover" - Blizzard's term for it), and vice versa. But none of those 3 factions ever seems to spillover to Darnassus. Darnassus quests often do spill over to the other Alliance factions. I don't know if this is a bug or by design. But with that, and the fact that there seems to be fewer Darnassus quests, makes it hard to raise that reputation with the night elves.

In summary, I am requesting an enhancement to WowReader to colect reputation information with quests, and for the quest descriptions to include that.

People in my guild are complaining that WowReader is giving them Spyware alerts. Any idea what's causing this?

I keep getting "unable to read data from the transport connection."

This is when the wowReader is trying to send the data.

What does that mean?

Occurs whenever I try starting WR.....three times reinstalled...

"failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your setup" everytime i try to open wowreader it says this

Try installing the latest update to .NET from microsoft here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a8f5654f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displaylang=en




RugratsOfDoom: Thanks for the report on the issues with proxy settings. It seems theres a problem with the .NET library incorrectly deciding how and when to use proxy settings. I'll look into fixing it.




I've never seen this error before, and I'm not exactly sure where it's coming from. Have you tried reinstalling?

Edit: I've corrected the problem.
