Carbonite not working with the new WoW patch

whiteknight · 08-11-09, 09:32 AM

Carbonite doesen't seem to be working properly with the new WoW patch. Getting error messages in game. Was working great prior to the patch and personally i prefer using the carbonite quest helper and map features but had to use another version of the addon and it's really not that great. Will this be something that will be fixed? Any suggestions?

Delete your other thread.

Are you using the most recent version of Carbonite? Saying "it doesn't work" does not help us to help you... we need more information.

Yea..at least i thought i just downloaded the newest version of carbonite and was still having issues i will try again tonight to see if it will work and hope for the best.Unless im missing something you download and stick into the wow files: interface/addons/ carbonite file same as before when it was working fine and still had issues.

I originally replied to the second copy of this post then got to this one, so here's the response:

Carbonite works fine with the latest patch. Have you updated to the latest and greatest already? What was the error you received?

Your install path should be into the Interface\addons directory. The most common error seems to be that the zip file name ends up being used as a directory. For example....

Correct :

interface\addons\Carbonite
interface\addons\CarboniteNodes
interface\addons\CarboniteTransfer

Incorrect:

interface\addons\Carbonite-3.21\Carbonite
interface\addons\Carbonite-3.21\CarboniteNodes
interface\addons\Carbonite-3.21\CarboniteTransfer

Latest Carb version: 3.21 http://www.wowinterface.com/download...Carbonite.html

i've used this link: Latest Carb version: 3.21 http://www.wowinterface.com/download...Carbonite.html
and carbonite still won't work on my computer. I'm not sure what the problem is, it installs just fine but doesn't work when i open up wow and also if i try to add it sometimes it says error- internal error

What is the full path to Carbonite.toc? And also what OS are you on?

jade33 · 08-11-09, 05:44 PM

OS? none of my add-ons work, i tried adding xperl and that doesn't work either. Is there a certain OS i have to be on?

Vis · 08-11-09, 05:48 PM

Depending on which Operating System you have will change where exactly an addon gets installed to. That's why I ask. Addons themselves are OS independant, and will work on any maching that will play WoW.

i have Vista Home Premium and i've had wow on it wit hthe add-ons so many times cause my hard drive goes out on me all the time and this computers been in the shop more times then i can count and i'm wondering if it is the OS that causing the error on UI manager cause if i put dev tools on there to start then try to install carbonite, xperl, etc. it says error- internal error, so what's this problem having to do with wow and ui manager?

Vis · 08-11-09, 05:58 PM

On Vista, WoW wants the addons to be installed to this path:

C:\users\public\games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\

Install Carbonite there and then see if it is in game for you.

jade33 · 08-11-09, 06:05 PM

i have my wow folder on my desktop and it's world of warcraft/interface/add-ons

Vis · 08-11-09, 06:13 PM

Is that just a shortcut folder to C:\program files\WoW\ etc etc?

jade33 · 08-11-09, 06:23 PM

i believe it is, i still can't put any add-ons on my computer and what keeps coming up after i download carbonite is this:
the folder name is Carbonite-3.210

Vis · 08-11-09, 06:26 PM

Have you tried manually downloading Carbonite and extracting the folders to the directory I posted above? Namely:

C:\users\public\games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\

jade33 · 08-11-09, 07:02 PM

i can't get there, i've moved my wow folder to my desktop and it still has problems

Vis · 08-11-09, 07:22 PM

Sounds as if you may have more issues unfortunately. I'm not sure where to go at this point. You may have to reinstall WoW into the default location, then try adding addons into the directory I posted. That's all I can think of at the moment though

jade33 · 08-11-09, 07:28 PM

i just talked to my friend and he said that the error is a vista error

cremity · 08-12-09, 09:38 AM

I have downloaded the new carbonite however i cant seem to get it to show up in my addons when i log on. II use a Dell laptop with windows XP. I have it loaded as C:\ProgramFiles|BlizzardEntertainment|WorldofWarcraftinstaller|interface|addons\carbonite. The old version worked fine with this path but i just cant seem to get it to work with the new.

That's your problem right there.

It should be C:\users\public\games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Carbonite

It should not be C:\users\public\games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Carbonite-3.210

The game path on xp should be C:\program files\world of warcraft\interface\addons

This is assuming you didnt set a different path. The path you have shown is the path of the web based installer. Right click your desktop icon for wow. Select properties and youll see the file path to the game folder. You can even click find target and it will open the folder for you.
