WoW 3.2 PTR Monkey-wrench Thread

[acapela]

looks like some major stuff has changed under the 3.2 PTR. i figured addon authors could use a place to start comparing notes on the weirdness.

feel free to move/rename/replace this, whatever is appropriate.

0) if anyone spots anything useful over on the Blizzard UI forums, or anyplace else for that matter, on the changes to the API/Widget API under 3.2, feel free to share them with the rest of us.

so far i see:

1) the nameplate assembly still contains a sub-object named "nameTextRegion", but it is now apparently a Texture instead of a FontString, and it has basically just one member, under key 0 (i.e. array index 0), of type "userdata" (WTF?). dissecting this now.

edit: bah, i am just looking at a legitimate Texture (region)... the "nameTextRegion" is still a FontString, and has changed order within the nameplate assembly, i just need to identify it.

2) i have the 3.2 PTR nameplate assembly sorted out. send me a PM if this would be of any help to you.

Also you might want to put in the first post links to the 2 other threads discussing this (on wowinterface and wowace) as well as a link to the differences file
