WOOT!

*crosses fingers that as few lua errors as possible occur :)*

That would be boring

I hope as few in my addons, however if you like you are more then happy to have heaps of errors =P

Good News Everyone! AddOns in Beta!

it's about time. lets hope in that build that we can walk the maelstrom.

What I did was I got a summon to Stonecores summoning stone, and then quested in Deepholm. No you dont miss any big chains either. I completed the whole thing this way. Also, to leave the Maelstrom, you can use the unstuck feature and right when the cast is about to end, use your hearthstone. Or you can queue up for Wintergrasp or Tol Barad.

Wants the API documentation changes NAAAOW.

Global Functions (API)

We can create a list of all the global function on our own:

Adding sense to the different functions is another story.

New patch now, hopefully with addons!

I'm not seeing any patch. The servers are down, but nothing is coming through the launcher. Where'd you see it?

Not yet, but very soon.

Iriel has, as always, done a great job on this already: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...99864&sid=2000

Yep, it's downloading now. 12 megs or so of new launcher, then 1.2 gigs of patch. However, you can play after about 20 megs of patch. I like this new(-ish) download system.

EDIT: rather, you could play after 20 megs, but the servers are still down.

From the patch notes for build 12857
Cataclysm Beta Patch Notes (version 12857)

So since some nameless toolbox got /run, /script and /dump disabled, I wrote an AddOn to, uh, undisable them.

It's finally happened, hallelujah

WHO IS THAT I DONT EVEN

Do not know if want.


I just recently got into addons, and now it seems I'll likely have to relearn how to do a few things. >.<

Yeah, I have to sorta agree. The removal of 'this' is giving me a bit of a headache.

Don't feel bad; it's causing a few issues across all my projects, as well as a few others I'm sure. The problem is that these things were supposed to have been removed a LONG time ago, but their old API still depended on them. Pre-Cata dropdowns were littered with "this" still in it and has become a major thorn in my side with this change.

So now poeple are still used to these being actively used after their supposed "disappearance" and are watching their addons blow up with no documentation (that I've found anyways) listing the "correct" format examples to replace their ancient "this" references. This is very confusing/frustrating for new and old coders alike. Old dogs and new tricks....
