that as of 8:28pm PDT on Perenolde Carbonite is not working with the new patch 4.0. I won't bother to repeat the log errors. But it is bad as almost no addons are working at all. Carbonite is my life... to make us suffer using the ingame maps etc would be seriously inhumane!

[Whist34]

Same error. Carbonite icon shows in game but nothing else. Unable to access options or menu through interface or /commands.

Clean install.

[gadgetmama]

I tried reinstalling it, tried an older version, tried clicking on the addon's button that allows an "older version". All the latter did was disable the regular WoW map completely so I couldn't maximize it either with the button or the M key. :-P I miss carbonite. I've tried other addon maps.

Carbonite is broken, primarily, because blizz deprecated globals: this, self, arg1 etc. about 4 years ago and finally removed all the old code that still allowed them to work.

After a brief scan through the lua file, (26,000 lines) about every function will need to be tweaked to conform the the (not new) event handling and conversion from globals to locals.

This.

(no pun intended)

[Bloodymyst]

blizz don't like people haveing fun in a game or the carbonite min,map would still work they just like the money people pay to play there game they keep messing things up! and there lil round map they have needs to be kicked out for one it don't show u where ur dead body is and without carbonite map its hard to find cause its so much better then world of warcrafts map but everytime they come out with something new they screw something up but yeah i have used Carbonite for a long long time and i hope they do come out with something that will work

[thetravellor]

I dont get an error, carbonite simply doesnt load, ie press M - no map appears, quest list not there etc etc

Is carbonite discontinued? There were no test versions out during the PTR of 4.

[Entropyutd]

I think most of us would appreciate a response from the devs on this.
Is Carbonite going to be updated anytime soon or should we look elsewhere?

Carbonite developers should know better than to ignore their product reliability and neglect to punch it down for 4.0. I registered on wow interface just to say one thing. It's a total fail and I am switching to Spartan UI. Hope ya'll figure it out...Dave

Thanks, Dave... But what has SpartanUI got to do with Carbonite. It's like comparing apples and.... hand grenades... They're both useful in their own way, but created for two totally different purposes.

But you had your one post (per your stated intent). So I'll just say, seeya! Buh-BYE!!!

[DJ Particle]

Confirmed by a dev: Carbonite 4 is coming - 4.0.1 simply took them by surprise.

Thank the Video Game Gods!

[poturta]

the only people to blame for carbonite not being 4.0.1 ready is the devs esp if they are using deprecated code which is mega fail. Also you allow selling addon why not let gold farmers sell gold also they both give people an advantage over other which is what blizz doesn't like

You know how many Mod authors were caught off guard with 4.0.1 coming live this quickly - plenty. I wouldn't fault Carbonite or any other mod at all.

Also... which rock have you been under - Blizzard disallowed the selling of; premium/subscription service (Like Carbonite was), access to a site, and the input of advertisements (instead of a sale) into any mod a long, long time ago.

You are a total fail.
As pointed out already, but I am assuming the hamster running your brain died, so am therefore going to point it out again, Spartan UI has nothing to do with Carbonite.

SpartanUI is a nice little template designed to work with Bartender 4 to tidy up your bars.

See ya Dave!


I'm glad to hear that Carbonite will be updated, although it seems fairly obvious that the Developers do not have much time nowdays, and this in itself could be indicative of the eventual decline of IMO the best add on in the game.

I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts, and am grateful for all the work put into this.
I'll be sending a donation when I get paid, and I suggest everyone else QQing about a FREE, retail quality program not working, should do the same.

[kerchup]

I am new to this site. A friend got me into carbonite when she realized I was using quest helper. At first I was lost but I got used to it and now use it for everything. I see people are mad because thier precious addon doesn't work. I have news for you. Even if the devs fix carbonite now, with all the bugs and fixes that Blizz needs on thier end, carbonite would prob need to have a couple of fixes. So if they take thier time to come up with a long term solution I'll wait. In the mean time I'll go back to crashing and getting kicked out of BGs and be labled a deserter and freeze up when I enter dungs etc. Update to carbonite is the least of the problems in the game. Keep up the good work to the ones in the trenches!
