MazzleUI 1.1 Patch 1 for WoW 2.2

Keep in mind that this is not yet a complete fix for all of the WoW 2.2 changes.

I've posted a patch for MazzleUI 1.1 on the Downloads page. The download should be live now, if not it will be once it's approved by the site admins. The remainder of the bugs are most likely going to take a little while to fix.

Known Bugs
Bongos:
Paging in Bongos isn't working properly as well as a few other issues with the package. One issue is that if you page the bars they will sometimes fill up with all of the same spell that's in action button 1 on the initial page. Another problem some people have had is that no matter what button they hit it casts the same spell. Both of those problems can be "fixed" for now by just continuing to page the bars until they get back to the initial bars. Some classes do not have multiple pages on their bars, but the same thing is happening under the hood the buttons just aren't changing the looks like they do for the classes that do have paging.

For example, on my priest if I page the bars a couple times all of the buttons fill up with Renew, if I just page a few more times they go back to normal and work fine. On my warlock if I page the bars a couple times all of the bars stay exactly the same, but no matter what button I press I cast Shadowbolt. Paging a couple more times goes back to the normal working order. Hunters can page with their hot key 'f', everyone else can page the bars by pressing Shift-UP (Shift + Up Arrow key).

Advanced Trade Skills Window:
There are issues with this package that unfortunately remain unresolved for some users. If you experience crashes when you open/use your trade skills all I can suggest is to disable this addon for the time being. I've heard that it's mostly the Mac users that are having the problems. I personally have not had any problems with ATSW on Windows XP.

DUF:
I have not replaced the old version of DUF with the new 2.2PTR version in this patch. The reason is that I would occasionally experience some problems when I would /mazzify with the new version of DUF. The old version works just fine, it just gives some FrameXML errors. They can be resolved with the new version of DUF, installation instructions found here. Just understand that if you install the new version of DUF at this time you may experience problems when you /mazzify.

Camera Not Found Errors:
Blizzard has changed the names of some of the mobs causing Camera Not Found Errors in MazzleUI when they are targeted. I suspect that each of the mobs that will cause the error were all named and will be fixed similarly, but I have not been able to confirm this.
For example, the line in Mazzifier\Mazz3D_DBF.lua file ["creature.fungalgiant.fungalgiantpurple"] = 379 can be fixed by changing it to ["creature.fungalgiant.fungalgiant"] = 379. I suspect that the remainder of the mobs that cause the problems will also end in purple and will be fixed by removing it. However, that needs to be confirmed because there are other fungalgiant mobs that end with green and yellow, so that may not be the case. I have disabled the error sound when a camera not found error occurs, it will still put the error text in the Chat frame. If you get an error it would be appreciated if you could take a screenshot and make a post on the forums stating which mob it was and where you encountered the mob. It will not be necessary to post the screenshot unless it is requested.

nQuestLog:
Occasionally the following error pops up in the BugSack, but this seems to occur even with the newest version and does not have an effect on the operation of nQuestLog and can be ignored for now.
2007/09/26 12:22:09-7-x1]: nQuestLog-1.0\modules\DetailsFrame.lua:139: attempt to index global 'escapeDetector' (a nil value)

FrameXML:
Any further FrameXML errors should be able to just be ignored.

Hunters:
When I mazzified my low level hunter there was one button for Mend Pet that was left near the middle of the screen that I could not get the mazzifier to place where it was supposed to go. I was able to just move it to another location on the screen and play just fine. It's a bit of an inconvenience to not have that one button setup appropriately, but since it's not detrimental to the game play I decided not to worry about it for the time being.

==========================================================

Note:
I believe that this should fix the bulk of the errors that were occurring and that the exceptions have been listed. This is not a full release as it does not resolve all of the issues to be able to result in a "flawless" version. To apply the patch you will need to first install Mazzle1.1 without logging onto WoW to run the mazzifier and then unzip the patch inside the Interface folder to get the updated files. In order to reduce the bandwidth used for the webhost I have only included files that have changed since July 1, 2007. I would recommend that you rename or save your WTF folder and start with a brand new mazzified configuration. I would also recommend keeping the Mazzle1.1 zip file so that you do not have to re-download it with any more patches to come as they will all be based on the original Mazzle 1.1 installation.

Basic/Brief Installation Instructions:
1.) Rename AddOns and WTF folders. Unzip Mazzle1.1 zip file and copy the AddOns folder into your WoW installation directory. Unzip the Patch zip file inside the Interface folder of your WoW installation. I would highly recommend not adding any other addons outside of the ones provided until you have finished all of these steps.

2.) Logon to WoW. When you get to the character selection screen click on the AddOns button near the lower left hand side and then check the box next to "Load Out of Date AddOns" choose Ok.

3.) Now you can logon to the first character that you want to mazzify. When the mazzifier screen comes up just close it out, there's an "X" in the upper right hand corner of the window to do that. Press the Escape key to bring up the main menu, choose Video. Change the video resolution to the screen resolution that you use. When you click Ok, your UI will reload and the mazzifier screen will come back up.

4.) You should now be able to mazzify your character like normal.

5.) Rinse and repeat the mazzification of any other characters that you'd like.

* I do not have access to a level 70 character of each class, but I have tested this on a priest, warlock, hunter, mage and a paladin. *

This should allow everyone to enjoy playing until the remainder of the issues can be resolved. I have to give a special thanks to all of the people on the forums that have been a huge help with support and bug fixes. I would name names, but I will forget and offend someone so I will not. You know who you are and your efforts are greatly appreciated by everyone that uses MazzleUI. I look forward to the continuation of this project and the expansion of the community that Mazzle has built.

EDIT: If you are using a Macintosh, you can't just drop the folders in. The Macintosh will overwrite your old folders if you do. Since this patch just contains changed files, you'll be missing stuff. You'll need to copy each folder individually. Windows users do not need to worry about this issue.
